Alpha Calvin Holy fuck I wasn't expecting to hear back so soon nor was I expecting to hear this kind of news yet. How the fuck has she sold Kelly already? I had Mac explain to me earlier how it works and even though it's the black market and illegal those involved in it still have rules to follow and set procedures. And if what he's told me is true then there's no way she has only recently been put up for sale because if she had been then she'd still be stuck in the middle of the process not already advertised and sold, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking Cal?" Liam's mind link draws my attention away from Mac. "She was put up for sale ages ago wasn't she Liam? Well before Ashley and Matthew left the pack!" "Yep, she has to have been there's no other explanation." "What is it Alpha?" I look up to see Jack staring my way anger simmering behind his eyes. "You were growling!" Oh shit, I hadn't even realized that I was doing it. "Once we leave here come meet me on my floor with Ash
Gamma Ashley I try to eat but I can't. Every time I try to swallow anything I feel like I'm choking. Kelly has been sold already but how? How the fuck can all this happen so fast? Why the fuck does this shit keep happening to my sister, dad, and me? "Darling I know you are struggling but please eat. You're going to need your strength for the fight." I know he's right I do but honestly, my body can't take anything in right now. "I want to but I can't, I feel like I'm choking every time I put any food in my mouth." He looks at me with massive sad eyes and I hate to see the look on his face. It also makes me hate my mother even more not that I'm sure I can hate her any more than I already do. "How about we take some food up to our floor and we can eat up there, just the two of us before we get ready?" I nod giving him the best smile that I can manage and he soon stands up, gathers our food, and pulls me up from my chair before he starts leading me toward his floor. I still can't say
Gamma Ashley We step outside the packhouse and I'm instantly thrown into complete shock, there has to be at least 400 men and women out there. Calvin told his pack that anyone willing to fight was to be here but this many turning up... that I was not expecting! Since the very moment that I arrived here, hell from the moment I meet some of the members in the woods I've been shown how close this pack is and how much they look out for each other but to see all of these wolves standing here now ready to fight for Kelly and me warms my heart. "Hey, guys." I look up to see Liam heading our way. "Hey, Liam." We both say at the same time. "How are you holding up Ash?" "I'm ok sweetcheeks." He smiles wickedly at what I call him and lowly chuckles. "Good I'm glad to hear it. Ash, I was talking with Calvin earlier and we both suspect that your mom had Kelly up for sale a lot sooner than we originally thought." "Yeah I was thinking the same thing earlier, there's no way she could have so
Gamma Ashley "Who's Alpha Ashton?" I don't like the look on Calvin or Jack's faces right now. Jack lets out a long hard sigh and I can tell that he wants to hide it from me but he quickly changes his mind when I give him a "don't bother lying" look. "He's Alpha of the dark moon pack and... Well, let's just say he's not a nice guy!" "I need more than that Jack." He hesitates before sharing a look with Calvin that I dont like then looks back at me. "I don't think it's going to do you any good darling. Let's concentrate on getting Kelly and then I'll tell you all about him." "So help me Jack if you don't start talking now you won't be seeing my ass for a very long time!" I cross my arms as I sass him and fight to hold back my smirk when Cal, Liam and the warrior driving all burst out with laughter. "You can't do that!" He whines out like a child that's been told he can't have any more candy and pouts like a toddler that's been refused a new toy but fuck he looks cute. And it's at t
Gamma Ashley The moment I hear my twat of a mother say that Kelly has already left with her buyer I'm instantly raging. Raging at her for actually selling her own daughter and raged at myself for not getting here sooner. Luckily for me, my rage doesn't last long as after just a few minutes of her mouth moving I realize the one thing that's going to blow all of this out of the water. The one thing that has Alfie grinning in my head and my heart pounding a little less. "Your lying!" I hiss out the words. "Excuse me?" My so-called mother spits my way. "You are lying mother dearest." "Don't you dare accuse me of lying you worthless piece of space!" Her face is scrunched up and it does nothing to help her already ugly ass face. "Your lying, You know it. Roland knows it and I know it." "And what makes you say that?" "I've known you my whole goddam life. I want my sister and I want her now!" I bellow out in my Gamma tone as I feel Alfie come to the front of my mind trying to take
Gamma Ashley "You have got to be fucking kidding me? Who the fuck does this kind of shit?" I bellow out. My instinct was right when I thought that my bitch of a mother was hiding my sister behind her but I never would have imagined I'd see the sight that's in front of me right now. Kelly is standing there staring back at me with her arms wrapped around her chest looking scared and that's not even the worst part. She's been dressed up. She's got on a body-hugging bright red dress that literally just about covers her lady area and is low cut at the chest area. Her hair has been curled and she's wearing enough make-up to sink a ship. She's got on high heels that look to be about 5-6 inches high and if I didn't know her I'd say she's about 13 years old. But she's not 13 she's fucking 8. My 8-year-old baby sister who likes to wear flowery dresses or jeans and sparkly tops with unicorns on them has been dressed up to look like a 99-cent-an-hour hooker and I'm fucking furious! I step f
Gamma Jack Shit is about to hit the fan and I'm not risking this motherfucker from touching Kelly so while Cal has Alpha Ashton distracted I link Warren the warrior that's currently sitting ready to drive the SUV that has Kelly in it. "Warren I'm going to link Nigel to bring his SUV for us. As soon as he's in the gate, I want you to leave and get Kelly back to the packhouse. Keep her safe until we get there Warren." "Of course Gamma, I'll protect her with my life." I know he will and so will the other four warriors that are in the car with him. "Nigel you there?" "Yes, Gamma. Is everything ok?" "Yes and no. I need you to bring your SUV to us and tell the others to stay on standby but to remain alert, we may need them. Warren is going to leave here when he sees you and head back to the pack before us. Who else is driving?" "Harry, Thomas, and Smith." "Ok ask Harry to follow Warren back to the packhouse. Tell him to be alert. Warren has Kelly in the car with him." "Of course
Gamma Ashley After what feels like forever we pull into a small car park and head into the even smaller diner that's in front of us. The moment I open the door I hear Kelly's voice as she excitedly calls my name while running my way. As soon as she's close enough she lunges into my arms and I squeeze her properly harder than I should but I can't help it, there was a chance that I'd never see her again and I never want to forget this feeling or this moment. "Ashley I missed you!" She chimes out as she wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist with an iron grip. "I missed you too baby girl." I place a kiss on her forehead and I silently thank the goddess for helping us get to her before she was taken. "Where is Jack?" She suddenly asks with a beaming smile on her face. "He's outside talking to Alpha Calvin but he'll be in soon. Why?" "I want to see him... I like him." She shyly chimes out and fuck does my heart skip a beat when I hear this. To know that she li
Gamma Ashley 11 months later... "One more push and baby's head will be out." Doc gently encourages Tori while she has a mother fucking death grip on my neck all while Jack's across the other side of the bed looking like he's getting his hand broken. She lets out a pain-filled cry as she pushes out the baby's head but instead of taking a break before pushing again she just carries on and before I know it the baby is fully out and wailing and if that ain't the best sound ever! "You have a healthy baby boy," Doc shouts out excitedly. Tori's beaming at his words but so are me and Jack. Jack walks around to my side and wraps his arms around my shoulders just as doc comes to stand in front of us and hands me the little bundle that's now wrapped in a blue blanket. "We have a son Jack." The words leave my mouth in a whisper as I stare down at our son in awe. He's absolutely perfect all 10 toes and 10 fingers of him and he looks just like Jack even down to his little nose. "We do darli
Gamma Jack 5 years later... "Happy birthday beautiful girl," Ashley whispers. "Happy birthday princess," I whisper. "Happy birthday girly girl" Cal whispers. "Happy birthday bubble bum" Liam whispers. Our words are met with a mile-long line of pack members as we set off balloons and watch them float away into the night sky while we wish Kelly a happy birthday. You'd think that after her being gone for 5 birthdays this would get easier but it doesn't. She's 13 years old today, a teenager and we miss her more and more every day. A lot of the pack members here still remember her but I find even the new members we have now including our Luna Brooke and Beta female Bethany seem to feel the sadness of everyone else and them taking the time to be here with us is much appreciated. When Hailey hadn't shown her face for over 2 years we were considering getting Kelly back with us but then like a fucking nightmare come true Hailey turned up here about 6 months ago looking for Kelly and
Gamma Jack These past 4 weeks have been calm and quiet and worrying. We've spent so much time lately on guard and in battles that as much as the quiet time is much welcomed and enjoyed I still can't completely rest. A part of me is waiting for something to happen but until then I'm trying my hardest to relax even if some days it feels impossible. It's been almost 4 weeks since Kelly left here with Joey and Jackie and not one person in the pack knows where they are, we choose not to know the name of the pack to give Kelly extra safety. It's been hard without her both Ashley and I are missing her so much that it's painful and I'd be lying if I said that we haven't shared some tears over her but we both know it's for the best right now and look forward to the day that we can get her back here with us where she belongs. It's been weeks since we last heard from Hailey but we all know that it won't last forever. She'll be back and we'll be ready. Edwina, Rosemary, Zack, Kat, Jane, and
Former Alpha Michael Things lately have been completely out of control and there was a point where I never thought it was going to end. My son is a fairly new Alpha but I never once doubted him even when he doubted himself. I know these past few weeks or maybe months, honestly, I've lost count of how long it's been going on, but the time that's passed while everything has been going on has been a hard time for our pack. Of course, our pack has had its bad times over the years, more than I wish to count or think about if I'm honest but still, we are a very lucky pack, considering how bad things could be we've always done our best to keep out of trouble and work with other packs rather than be enemies. I'd like to think that I was a fair Alpha and that I raised my son to be the same and every day that I watch how he runs the pack and how he treats all the members brings a jolt of pride to my heart. Since the day that he was born, I've made sure to tell him every single day how muc
Alpha Calvin Between everything that has happened and all the information that we have learned over the past few days, I feel like a truck has run over my head. Since the moment that my dad handed down the Alpha title to me, I've never had a moment of regret over taking it or a worry about how I would handle something but I'd be lying if I said that I was struggling right now. It's a lot to take in and I dont even know where to start. After everything that Coby told us we had him placed back in the cell until we decide what to do with him and everyone has gone on with their day while I try and clear through everything in my head and make the decisions that are needed. Once I said goodbye to everyone I decided to go out for a run with Colton in the hope that it would help clear my head but even handing over full control to him hasn't helped me and as I lay here at the side of the lake I growl out in frustration at being no closer to any of the decisions that I need to make. Sud
Gamma Ashley "Fuck!" Echos around the room as everyone says the word at the same time. "I didn't know you had a mate... I... Huh..." I'm at a loss for words and yet I find what he says easy to believe because that is exactly something that my bitch of a mother would do. "Who was your mate?" "I found him after you left Ash. He was called Kyle and he was a member of the north storm pack, I met him after Alpha Roland managed to convince his Alpha to assist in the search for you and your dad, he was a warrior for them and absolutely perfect." His eyes fill with tears as he talks and once he stops they quickly fall down his cheek. "Wait, you said was?" Jack's words are gentle as everyone else suddenly has the same realization. "He's dead, she killed him!" His voice starts rising and the look on his face is absolutely heartbreaking. "I found out after Kelly was taken in the forest that she has already killed him, in fact, she h
Gamma Ashley Finding out that not only do my uncle Joey and his mate Jackie know Edwina well but that warrior Zack and his mate Kat do too, in fact, their daughter Jane calls Edwina auntie Edwina and has done since she was little is just mind-blowing. Having the people that we know speak well of her is a massive help but I still dont know how I feel about her wiping my memory, for her to do that she will need full control of my body and it may only last for a few minutes but for a witch as strong as Edwina a few minutes is all she needs to do pretty much anything to me and the others. We have been sitting here talking through everything for the last 30 minutes but it's clear to me that Cal still doesn't know what to do and I'm almost grateful for it right now as I dont think I'm ready to hear his answer and I'm definitely not ready to see Edwina do anything to my mate. "Ok, I dont think there's any more for us to talk about right now. I need to talk to my pack members that are in
Alpha Calvin I swear right now life is one shit show after another, when the fuck will we get a break? "I'm sorry you want to do what? I look around the room and see my men looking just as shocked as me right now. "With your permission, I would like to wipe the memories of the attack on your men that way there is no chance that they will remember them and no chance of anyone getting any information out of them." "My men wouldn't just go spilling that kind of information not once I've spoken to them anyway." I'm slightly pissed that she would think that and it's not helping her case here. "Oh, Alpha Calvin I am not suggesting that, not in the slightest. What I mean to say is if someone was to find out a member of your pack knows about someone that they want to find... Well, let's just say that they could find a very creative way of getting the information out of your men and that's not what any of us want." "How do we know that we can trust you? I dont mean any offense to you Edwin
Gamma Ashley As we step inside the packhouse I feel myself getting nervous and I'm not even sure if I know why. I know I'm a little embarrassed about running off but not greatly and I know I'm nervous about the idea of letting Kelly go but still, I feel like I'm physically shaking and Jack must sense it as he takes my hand giving me a gentle squeeze. "I'm here with you darling no matter what." He gives me a swift kiss just as we reach Cal's door and step inside to find everyone in the same place as they were earlier. "You ok brother?" Liam asks the moment I step inside Cal's office and his worry for me is clear to see. "I'm ok, I'm sorry for running off," I speak to both Liam and Cal as I answer showing them both the respect they deserve as my Beta and Alpha. "Nothing to be sorry for," Liam says. "Your fine, dont worry," Cal says straight after and I must admit it does make me feel a little better to know that neither of them is mad at me. "Uncle Joey, auntie Jackie, I'm sorr
