a little late, but I had a busy day :)
A few of you have asked me about the new story for the Iron River pack and I had this idea this evening and decided to write a chapter.I would love to hear your opinions. This is just a draft and I haven't figured out most of the story.anyway, here it is...Nivia’s pov“You…” He growled lowly.I did not want to turn around, recognizing the voice of the person I had grown to hate over the past few months.The whole evening I had searched for this delicious scent of burned wood and marshmallow. It’s a scent that isn’t just delicious, but there are memories tied to it. Memories of having smores with my great grandparents and my grandparents.Memories of them sharing laughs and drinks around the fireplaces while I listened to their stories.My favorites were the love stories, and second came the ones of war.While war isn’t something to celebrate, they told their stories in such a way that made the fighting almost sound romantic. They weren’t just fighting to protect themselves, but thos
I need two chapters from both their pov for me to have a story idea. But I will try to write whenever I have time and add chapters slowly.in the mean time, I will continue to try and post at least five times a week for Hunting for Our mate. Because there is a lot more to come!I will start on chapter 94 right now. So the update should be up in a few hours if all goes well.Oh, and don't hate Ford too much. I'm sure there's a nice guy in there somewhere. lol.I have tried to make him sound british. As a dutch person I watch a lot of british and american tv, so that's helped with my English. But Ford isn't just british, he's a snob as well. So it takes a bit of looking online for synonyms to get his way of talking right.- - - - - - - Ford’s povThe gall of this young lady.‘Your mate.’ Callum, my wolf reminded me.How could I forget?I looked up at the moon as Nivia Evelien Leia Omari ran in her wolf form, her white wolf moving so quickly that it almost looked like a stripe passing by
Raiden’s povI knew something was up. I always do. But I also know my little mouse sometimes needs time to process. She is not used to voicing her thoughts or saying what she wants or needs.It’s my job to be her safe place. To allow her to come to me when she needs to.And I know when my mate is lying and she isn’t lying, she’s trying to find the right words."Does it not bother you that she's still not able to speak freely?" Atlas asked.It does. But maybe that’s on me. Or on her parents. Yeah, of course I get insecure when she doesn’t talk to me. Especially because I know if Zev wasn’t an asshole, she’d be able to confide in him.‘What if that was still, -‘Nope. Not even going to go there. There are some things that are unforgivable. Rejection is not something you can just do, change your mind, and then take it back. A rejection is permanent. It hurts for a reason.Your heart isn’t merely breaking; it’s severing the connection, the bond, to your mate.I am glad Atalanta hasn’t had
Zev’s pov"Ethan, you can't possibly be allowing Raiden to do this." Once Raiden had left the room with Lana, Steve spoke.Raiden had looked at me, as if he were trying to make me jealous. As if he were trying to show me what I could never have. And it worked to a degree. I was jealous.Alpha Ethan sighed, “I am not letting Raiden do anything. He’s an adult, capable of making his own choices. We’ve always noticed Raiden and Stephen didn’t get along as well as we wanted to.”“Yet you did nothing to fix that.” Steve replied.“I am still the alpha, Steve.” Ethan growled. “Don’t test me right now. Like Grace said, we are not making any rash decisions. Suzie isn’t of age yet, so while she is here she can join Stephen during his beta training. It will give her a chance to make a decision, and if Suzie decides not to accept Raiden’s offer, it means Stephen won’t be behind in training.”“You want him to work together with her?” Steve looked at Suzie as if she were worthless. I wish I could min
A short chapter so i made it free, because it feels wrong charging so much for only 1300 words.It's my youngest birthday, today. He's six.- - - - - - - -Raiden’s pov“I’ve been hiding something from you.” I admitted to my little mouse.When I had walked into the room today, she had quickly hid something in her closet. This had not been the first time this week. I had been busy helping dad, but I made sure to spend time with my mate. It helped Suzie was here because it meant there was another person looking out for Atalanta.Unfortunately, Suzie was occupied with her training to become my beta. So my mouse was still alone a lot of the time. Mom spent some time teaching her some Luna stuff during the day; I made sure to train her every morning, and Suzie went on runs with Atalanta as well.But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to be here all the time.I couldn’t get rid of this nagging thought that my mate wasn’t okay. That she needed me.There was something going on.Yet s
Zev’s povThere’s always a bit of time between work and dinner, and for the last few days I’ve spent it either writing in my journal or writing letters to Lana.In the past, when I wrote my mom, it felt therapeutic. When I started writing with Lana, I stopped, but my therapist encouraged me to restart.For years I have created this story in my head of what happened with my dad and my mom, and since my talk with Ethan and Grace, I’m not sure what memories are real and what I made up.So, my therapist told me to just write down my thoughts. Whenever a memory or a feeling pops up, not to push it down or to analyze it. But to feel it. To go through it to see what’s on the other side.She shared something that made me laugh. Something this guy once said. Basically, the guy said when someone pees in your glass of water, adding sugar does nothing to get rid of the pee. It’s still there, even if it just tastes sweeter.My therapist said life and trauma are like that. When bad things happen, yo
Raiden’s pov“Now stay down,” I growled.Zev was too stubborn to stay on the ground and pushed himself up.Fine. If he wants to get beaten to a pulp again, I'll gladly oblige."It was my destiny to stand by your side." Zev said, as he got up. "You've always wanted me to be your beta, but that's not where I belong. My place was not next to you, but next to Lana.”I scoffed, “yet you had no problem giving it up.”Zev put his hands up, ready to continue our fight. I let him get one hit in before hitting him against the ribs again.“If you had been there, you could have seen it; it has never been easy to let Lana go. That’s why I was such a, -““A dick? Yeah, I don’t want to hear your excuses, Zev. While you were feeling sorry for yourself, I was out there hunting for our mate. I was trying to find her and get her out while you were whining in your bed.” I said as I quickly punched him three times. “Just fight me.”“You had no problem giving up our friendship,” Zev replied, hitting me.He
Atalanta’s pov"So... why are you smiling?” Suzie asked while she was sipping on her cocktail through a straw.“Your story reminded me of the first kiss I had with Raiden,” I admitted. I was feeling a bit tipsy after drinking a few too many fruity cocktails.Suzie and Luna Grace had offered to take me out to distract me, and they had. Luna Grace had shared how she and Alpha Ethan had met and fallen in love. And Suzie had talked about how Stephen suddenly didn’t flirt with her anymore or tried asking her out.But after a few drinks, she had admitted they had something called "hate-sex," which needed to be explained to me what it was.I had never had sex out of anger. Or I don’t think so.‘You rarely get angry.’ Artemis chimed in.“Tell us,” Luna Grace asked. “But skip the details.” She giggled.“Raiden said how much he and Zev liked me and how they wanted to help me, and he admitted that he liked me a bit too much but felt guilty about Zev.” I recalled. It felt like another life.I smil
