Alpha Calvin I'm sitting in my office trying to get caught up with the pack finances but it's not going well, there's so much going on that it's hard to concentrate on anything right now. "Cal, where are you?" A link from Liam pulls my focus away from my laptop and if I'm being honest I'm grateful for the distraction. "I'm in my office, everything ok brother?" "Yeah, I'm just about to pass your office. Lunch?" I look at the clock on my desk and I'm shocked to see how long I've been in here and yet I've hardly got anything done. "Yeah sure, I'll be there now." I make quick work of shutting down my laptop and head for the door to find Liam already outside and waiting for me. "How's the Rogue situation, is he in the cells yet?" "Yeah, Tyson is guarding him until Jack says any different." "Huh, why?" Liam linked me earlier to say a Rogue had been found on our lands and that he was being brought to the cells and I had planned on heading down there, later on, to find out what he wa
Beta Liam I shit you not that every single one of us let out gasps, I may not know a lot about magic but I've heard enough to know that dark magic isn't good. "Rosemary, can you please tell me why your mother left?" She lets out a small laugh followed by a sort of sigh. "Of course Alpha. My dad always told me and my brother that our mom left because she was sick and went to seek help but the truth is that 3 years after my birth she suddenly took a huge interest in dark magic. My dad didn't know that it was going on but then he caught her one day and he give her a choice of black magic or her family and she choose black magic." "Grandma, what did he catch her doing?" Kat's voice wavers and it's clear to see this has shaken her up but Zack quickly pulls her onto his lap and gently rubs her back and I know that this isn't the time for this but I can't help but watch this moment between them and feel that little pang at wanting my mate. "Kat baby he caught her bringing back her best
Ashley After spending 30 minutes laying by the side of the lake we have to head back to the packhouse to see Coby and wait for Alpha Calvin to inform us of when the meeting will be held regarding my old pack. We hold hands as we walk through the forest and enjoy the peace and calm that we get from being here before we arrive back to all the madness. As we approach the house we see the back of a black SUV as it heads towards the forest road and away from the packhouse. Once it's out of our view we can see Beta Liam and Alpha Calvin standing on the steps just outside of the front door talking but I have a feeling that they are waiting for us and I don't like the looks that they both have on their faces and Jack's hand tightening its hold on mine tells me that he's thinking the same. "What's wrong Cal?" "Come to my office, too many ears out here." He seems tense but still looks like he's trying to cover it with a reassuring face. The problem is I still don't know him well enough to
Ashley My head is completely fucked these past 24 hours have thrown me. How the fuck can so much happen in so little time? I've gone from being on the run and seconds away from death to finding my mate and getting a new home. One moment my dad was dead and the next he was alive and a little girl could be the one who saved him and also a witch. And now I've gone from seeing another guy in my mate's bed to Coby arriving and now I find out that my mom plans to sell my sister! "Ash, you ok darling?" I shake my acing head when I hear my mate's voice breaking through my whirlwind of thoughts. "I don't even know!" He pulls on my hand and it's only now that I realize that we are outside his bedroom door, I don't even remember leaving the Alpha's office. "Come on baby let's get you in the shower and then we are going to chill out for the rest of tonight ready for the meeting in the morning ok?" I nod my head as I let him pull me along behind him only my feet stop moving the moment I see t
Ashley My brain is clogged with lust for this hunk of a man in front of me and don't get me wrong I fucking love him taking control when it comes to sex already but it's my turn now and I'm going to love every minute of it. We quickly get out of the shower and wipe up before I take his hand and lead him into the bedroom while my patience is running thin with how much I just need to be inside him now. As soon as we're in the bedroom I pull him down to me and within seconds we are wrapped up in a steamy kiss but I want more I need more! I start walking him backward until his legs hit the bed and I use the opportunity to gently push him back so he's laying on the bed. He scoots himself further up the bed as I get on and climb between his legs. I lean forward so that my arms are on either side of his head and start peppering kisses to his forehead, cheeks, nose, and mouth before I leave a trail of feather-light kisses along his jaw and down his neck. I keep trailing kisses until I fi
Gamma Jack Fuck, Ashley fucking me for the first time was so much more than I could have ever imagined. He was gentle and loving but then fucked me like a demon when I needed it, he paid attention to my body and I swear it was the best experience of my life. I've not been on the bottom often always preferring to be on top and in control but with my mate, fuck I would happily give up control to him anytime, and honestly, I can see it being a battle when it comes to deciding who gets to fuck who because both experiences have been incredible! But none of that compares to the moment that he told me he wanted me to mark him and that he was just waiting for me to be ready, fuck I was ready the moment I first laid my eyes on him! I don't bother saying any more to him instead I pull his head back down for a kiss then I trail my hands down his fucking hot body until I reach the back of his legs and pull on them until he's straddling me. "I want you to mark me too!" I rasp out. The though
Alpha Calvin "Liam you awake brother?" "Yeah I'm up, everything ok?" "Can you come to my floor?" "Sure thing be up now." I walk out of my bedroom and straight to the kitchen and get the coffee going it's 6.30 am and after another shit night's sleep, I need that shit in an iv. "Jack you awake brother?" "Jack... Jack wake up!" He must be dead to the world because usually, he's sharp as shit when I link him regardless of the time. "JACK!" I bellow into the link this time hoping to get through to him. "Alpha everything ok?" He sounds groggy as fuck, it's a first for him but I have a feeling there's a reason for it. "Can you come up to my floor please and bring Ashley with you?" "Of course Cal we will be up now." At least he sounds more alert now. I finish pouring out coffee for everyone as Liam walks through the door and instantly scoops up one of the cups looking as shit as I feel. "Please tell me you have a plan in mind?" He grunts as he quickly finishes his coffee and start
Ashley "I don't understand?" Mac's look of shock appears genuine but there's still a part of me that doesn't trust him, he's never given me a reason to. "I've always known her to be a vindictive bitch but even for her this is a new low!" I growl out as I feel the same anger that I felt when I found out about this resurfacing. "That's your mother your talking about Ashley!" "After everything that she's done, how can you defend her? You must be as vindictive as her!" "What are you talking about Ashley?" "Fuck where to start... Well, there's the fact that she was never a mom to me or Kelly. Dad pretty much raised me on his own and then dad and I raised Kelly from the day she was born. She never hid her dislike of us or the fact that she didn't want to be a mom." "That's not true!" Mac looks horrified for a moment but then a strange look overcomes him. "Why would I make that up? What would I gain? Do you know that she cried when she found out that she was pregnant with Kelly? ful
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
