MADALINA

It has been a whole week since I moved to Black Forest pack, but nothing has changed significantly.

My mate was incredibly busy, leaving our room early in the morning and returning at night. His Beta stepped down and he now had only his Gamma to support him. Aiden's father tried to help too, but it wasn't common practice to see a retired Alpha interfering in the pack's business. Moreover, it would shed a bad light on Aiden, putting him in the position of not being competent enough to lead the pack if daddy needed to hold his hand.. Eventually, it would motivate ambitious males outside the pack to come and conquer the place, seeing Aiden as a weak element that could be easily challenged and eliminated. Status was everything in the werewolf's world.

Aiden spent the entire week searching for a proper candidate for the Gamma position. He wanted to promote the current Gamma to Beta. That man seemed to be one of a few who were loyal to Aiden and openly supported him desp

    Unwelcome newsAIDENUpon Jerome's resignation, I was faced with an enormous workload that made me truly grasp the extent of his responsibilities on my behalf. An Alpha was like a lost puppy without his Beta. Despite Scott shadowing Jerome for many years, he struggled to fulfill the role with the same efficiency. Regrettably, Scott was caught between his previous Gamma duties and attempting to assume the Beta position. Our pack was huge in size, and leading it was never meant to be a solitary endeavor. It necessitated a cohesive team, which, unfortunately, I did not have.Days started to merge, and I couldn't tell the difference between light and dark, granting me less and less time for my mate. And I hated it. I hated leaving Maddie alone, even though I could count on Carrie to keep her company. But it would be irresponsible of me to just ignore the escalating situation in my pack and simply lock myself in the room with my gorgeous woman. I was an Alpha and sometimes I needed to put

    When I first learned about Carrie's idea to throw a big welcome party for Madalina, I was a little hesitant. Ever since we arrived at my pack, my mate has faced a barrage of unwarranted prejudice due to her different background. No one dared to confront her or me directly, but the silent whispers were there. People stared. At me. At her.It was mostly due to all those horrible crimes her family was responsible for. Her family had tortured lone wolves, treating them like slaves. Sadly, even my mate took part in it, blindly manipulated by her parents. Though with each new day, I could see how much she regretted all her past actions. I may have gotten a second chance at love, but Madalina got her second chance at normal life. And she was going to prove to everyone that she no longer was the ruthless, stone-cold werewolf slayer.The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the preparations for the grand evening were in full swing.

    SAIGE'S POVIt was just another horrible day at school and even though I had only been there for twenty minutes, I was already about to ditch out for the day.That was in my mind not until my best friend, Kora, gave me the best news I had heard all week. It was the kind of news that got me excited and gave me a reason to stick around school until the end of the day; it was the kind of news that gave me a purpose and a new plan of attack."Saige, there's a new guy," Kora blurted out, "but he's pretty off-limits. I saw him walking in this morning and I had to find you right away!"I rolled my eyes, thinking to myself that nobody was off-limits, especially when it came to guys. I hadn't found one yet that I wasn't able to get."Just spit it out, Kora. How is he off-limits?""He isn't a student," she sighed. "He's the new assistant football coach."A wicked grin spread across my face. I liked mature , hot men; I preferred them actually. I must get that trait from my mom; she likes them ol

    COLLINS’ POVTo say I was pumped about being the new assistant coach was an understatement. I had worked for this day for so long and it was finally here. I couldn’t wait to get on the field with these boys after school and see what they’ve got.I was unpacking my gym bag, tossing my stuff into the locker assigned to me when I swear I heard the locker room door open. When I stopped to listen and heard nothing more, I continued to unpack, opening the locker just below mine for extra space.Then I saw someone out the corner of my eyes and whipped my head in their direction. However, it wasn’t one of the boys coming in. No, it was a very gorgeous brunette woman. I blinked a few times before I asked, “Um, are you lost?”She jumped and turned toward me. If she hadn’t been wearing the school’s cheerleading uniform, I would have mistaken her for one of the faculty members. She definitely didn’t look like a senior in high school. Hell, she didn’t even look like any of the women I went to coll

    SAIGE POVAs I stood in the girl’s locker room, I noticed some of the cheer team was staring over at me and whispering.We weren’t all fans of each other and had our own cliques, but how rude!Kora walked over and glared in their direction.“What’s wrong, girls? Are you feeling jealous of her?” Kora was very blunt and didn’t take shit from anyone. That’s what I loved so much about her.They immediately looked away from us with an eye roll and I grinned at Kora.“Thanks, girl.”I may have looked and acted like I was this confident girl, but deep down I wasn’t. Kora had pointed out on more than one occasion that I sought attention from guys to boost my confidence and she wasn’t wrong. It was also the reason those girls were just whispering about me. Rumours flew through the female population in this school to keep your boyfriend away from me and it was fair to say that. I didn’t care who he was or wasn’t dating unless it was Kora. That thought process didn’t exactly make me popular among

    SAIGE POVAs Coach Collin pushed through the locker room door, I tried to slow our walking down. I liked the feeling of having his strong arm around my waist, his hand touching my bare skin at my hip. His smell was intoxicating and I knew he’d be letting me go soon enough so I was trying to revel in his scent just a bit longer.“Let’s set you down here,” Collin stated as he pointed to the wood bench between a row of lockers. “I’ll go grab the first aid kit.”After he helped me sit down, he disappeared behind the lockers and I grinned, trying to figure out what to do next. I really needed to get this guy’s attention. He was playing hard to get.He came back a moment later and kneeled down in front of me, popped open the first aid kit, and grabbed an ace bandage.“Let’s see what we’ve got here.” He grabbed the back of my calf and rested my leg on his knee as he pulled off my shoe. I hissed through my teeth for good measure, trying not to laugh.I had slipped my other foot out of its sho

    SAIGE’S POVThe house was quiet when I entered; I was thankful that I could go to my room without being seen. But, I wasn’t so lucky when I heard some shuffling from the kitchen.“Mom?” I called out, waiting for a reply. Her head popped out from around the corner as she glared at me, her eyes going down to my “hurt” ankle but she didn’t comment on it.“What are you doing home so early? I don’t normally see you until after the sun has gone down.” She sounded annoyed that I was home.“I got hurt at practice. TJ brought me home.” I walked into the kitchen, noticing that my mom was wearing her silk robe which only meant one thing. “Who’s the douche bag you brought home this time?”“None of your business,” she snapped.I rolled my eyes at her. “Whatever. I’m going to my room.”After leaving the kitchen, I headed down the hallway to my room but before I could make it unseen, my mom’s bedroom door opened. A guy who looked closer to my age stood there staring at me with desirous eyes.“Hey,”

    "Go back to your own kind. Leave our pack before facing further humiliation."I cleared my throat before speaking, controlling the fiery rage that tortured me. Oh, the fantasies that danced in my mind - to give her a taste of her own venomous words, to unleash that never-ending thirst in me, and sink my fangs deep in her flesh until she begged for her life. To punch that nasty mouth and show her true fear.But could I afford such scandal on my first day among werewolves? As much as I wished to make her pay, I concluded she simply wasn't worth the trouble with my mate. I came here to be a better person.Hence, I put my old habits aside and kept the fight on a verbal level."Oh, wow, thank you so much for your unsolicited prophecy! How fortunate I am to have you... whoever you are, enlighten me about my inevitable fate. Your concern for my well-being and humiliation is truly heartwarming. Clearly, your wisdom knows no bounds. Perhaps I should bow down and seek your guidance on all life

    Fire tangoMADALINANerves fluttered in my stomach when his family first approached me. Will they grimace in disgust? Will they be bothered by the presence of a vampire? I had all those questions clawing at my mind, terrifying me. But what I experienced... it was something entirely unexpected.In a flurry of introductions and warm smiles, my unease began to dissipate. I stared at Aiden's mother, who exuded a genuine kindness which I found both comforting and bewildering. Not like my own mother, who only veiled her real personality under a sweet, innocent face. My mother carried the mask of kindness, pretending to be a good person, a victim of horrible crimes for which, after all, she was primarily responsible. But the warmth in Amelia's eyes and the way she squeezed my hand indicated she was genuinely happy for her son and accepted me as I was.Aiden's sister, Carrie, was a vibrant young woman. Her presence required attention as she effortlessly owned the room with her wild and loud p

    "I'll get some drinks. It's time to celebrate." Carrie winked at us and rushed to one of the Omegas, splashing instructions."Okay, I guess." Maddie placed a light kiss on my lips to ensure me she would manage to survive my family. I didn't need to worry about her. My mate wasn't any shy damsel in distress. If anyone annoyed her, she would deal with it. I promised her not to be away for long and left her with mom and Carrie.On the way to my office, I met my dad. He had arrived at Black Forest pack before us."Jerome knows." He informed me shortly. I sighed, feeling how a big lump formed in my throat. My Beta had already learned about the death of his son.~~~~~~~"We are currently providing shelter for over a hundred lone wolves. The majority of them have already applied for asylum but some haven't decided yet. They still consider returning to their original village once all is settled. Anyhow, we can't accommodate them all permanently. We are running short on resources. But the disc

  • Irresistible Temptations    Bitter toll

    . Bitter tollAIDENMadalina squeezed my hand when we passed through the main gate to my pack. The Black Forest pack was one of the largest packs in Yukon, providing a home to thousands of people, mostly werewolves. We had several witches among us, as well as humans. Overall, it was a great place to live in. Despite the isolation within the mountains, our civilization thrived.The air carried the scent of freshly bloomed flowers, intermingled with the sweet aroma of home-cooked meals waffling from the houses. The streets were alive with the joyous spirit of community, as people strolled leisurely, their smiles radiant and genuine. Children reveled in their innocence, their laughter echoing through the pathways, while the sun cast a gentle glow upon their carefree games.We lived in peace, surrounded by beautiful nature, and I couldn't wait to show it all to my beautiful mate. Therefore, I was stunned when we finally arrived at my pack and the streets were empty. Gone was also the melo

  • Irresistible Temptations    Raindrops farewell

    Raindrops farewellAIDENI was glad that my mate agreed to live with me in my pack. I understood the depth of sacrifices she had undertaken to be with me. Her departure from her family was due to forbidden love and it led to her being estranged by her own parents. They cut off any future physical contact with her and although she tried to be strong and not to show it, I knew it bothered her tremendously. At least her brother, despite being a sick psychopath, stood by her side.And now, I was going to be her family and I would do anything to make her happy.When I returned to the safe house together with Madalina, the place was emptied. Only my father stayed with a couple of soldiers. He was eager to meet my mate and shook her hand a bit too enthusiastically that I had to remind him to keep it cool. As surprising as it was, my dad was very open-minded and didn't care about Madalina's origin. I assumed after all he had to go through in his life, he understood how precious true love was.
