Bolton adjusted his position then crossed one leg over the other with his ankle to his knee. He thought for a moment and my eyes scanned over his uncomfortableness. He wasn't going to like what he had to tell me."That's not true.""Stop reading my thoughts. It's an unfair advantage.""I can't help it.""They pretend, idiot."He cracked his neck in annoyance. He really didn't like it when I called him names. Good! His elbow sat on the arm rest and his hand came to his face, scratching his goatee. His biceps flexed in his dark blue shirt and his leg lightly bobbed over his other. He had on grey sweat pants but looked powerful and important despite the casual clothes. I still hadn't figured him out yet. He was dangerous, probably as demanding as his Alpha dick brother, but he was decently kind to me. I wasn't so foolish to think he has showed me all his sides though. He wanted something and I didn't forget about this alliance he asked for. "Your thoughts are never ending, Sasha." He p
My hands shook as I locked the door then turned the dead bolt. I can do this! I turned around and Charlotte was standing behind me smiling. She was starting to creep me out."Uh, I should get ready for bed.""I'll get you clothes. Would you like a small dinner? Are you hungry, thirsty?""Please stop! It's so fake and makes me want to slap you." I looked at her annoyed. My whole life she never looked at me twice. Now she wants to be my damn servant. Please, I wasn't an idiot."It's not fake, Sasha. I swear it's not. I don't know you, but I want to. Not only because you are the mother of my grandkids but because I do believe in you. We can make this pack what it should be and finally be free.""Free?""Free from Viktor and Blake.""You're Viktor's mate and Blake is your son." I was have a hard time believing she so willingly turned her back on them."Viktor has tormented me for years. I thought I had no choice but to be his mate. When he made me Luna it filled me with so much pride. Then
"Sasha, baby!" Blake strolled right to me from the table and I held my second son closer to my chest."Touch me and I'll be sure to rip your throat out this time." I growled at him. Goddess, I loved my wolf. "Baby, I would never hurt you. Look at that strong boy! He looks just like me. Hi Viktor boy!" He leaned down to look my son in the face and on pure instinct my body slightly turned and I lifted my knee hard into his face."Bitch!" He shouted at me, grabbing his bloody nose. "Did you see that? My wolf is fucking awesome! I don't think I need you, Bolton.""Calm down psycho. Blake, leave!" He gave him sharp eyes and I knew they spoke in their minds. My eyes squinted at them wanting to tune into their thoughts like Bolton did to me."You aren't a Vampire Siren Thing, so you can't." He said placing a hand to my back and guided me to the table. Surprisingly, Blake just walked out. What power did Bolton have over him?"What did you say to him?""Just that he is causing a scene. He nee
"Good, Sasha!" Bolton gave me a proud look and I ate it up like a child would of a father's praise. We've been training every day for two weeks and I was getting good. Not as good as Bolton, or probably any of the other werewolves, but better than I was before. Bolton was a hard ass that quickly lost his patience with me. He left every few hours to check on other things, but I think he went to feed. He always came back smelling of blood, and not his own. "I hit you five times today, Bolton. You're getting soft." I teased as I expertly twirled the baton. That was what the metal stick thing was called; a baton. I like it!When he left me in the garden to train I often got bored. After completing his tasks at least three times I started doing tricks with the metal stick. I hadn't trained with any other weapon, but I had a feeling this was going to be favorite."I wouldn't get too cocky. You have a ways to go before taking a wolf even half my size.""I know, but I'm getting better. Did t
"Please don't leave me." I dropped to the floor and threw myself around Bolton's leg. I didn't mean to stab him this morning. "I'm not leaving because you got a lucky shot at my side.""Lucky!" I shouted up to him from the floor."Will you get off of me!" He shook his legs but I squeezed it tighter."No! I can't do this without you. I need you Bolton. Please stay, or take us with you.""You know I have to go to the stronghold at the fairy lands. I need to talk to Eldora and try to make a deal with her.""Ask someone else to do it." I pouted.He leaned down and picked me up by the arms. He sat me on the kitchen counter and looked directly in my eyes. I batted my eyelashes and let my bottom lip dip as low as possible. "I won't be safe without you, daddy. Please don't abandon me.""Why do you torture me?" He said annoyed."Because I need you. I’m not strong enough to be left all alone. I don't even like sleeping with you one room away from me. Please don't go. What if I die? It will be a
I turned my back to them and closed my eyes. I needed to do this for them, for me, for my pack. I started to think of my past. The way everyone made fun of me, pushed me, punched me, kicked me. My fist tightened at my side as I felt heat rising in my chest. I didn't shy away from the pain. I knew pain and I can handle any of it. I thought of Blake. How his green eyes would watch me. My younger self looked to him with pure love and he looked to me like a possession. My throat began growling at the memories.I remembered how his fingers so gently played with my strands, the comfort it gave my entire body when I was in his arms. The way we laid in the woods and talked for hours. His promises to make my life better than it was. A life of tormented that he and his father orchestrated. I remembered the choosing ceremony. How innocent I was, how naive I was. I walked down the purple covered aisle looking to my perfect mate. His green eyes caught mine and it filled me with hope. He laid ove
"Sasha! Sasha!" Blake screamed at me as my body shook violently."What the fuck?" I screamed, jumping away from his body. His very naked body."We have to go. The pack is under attack.""What? My babies!" I started running as fast as I could despite the screaming mess in my body."They are ok. Draconian has them safe in the pack house. Your family is there too." Blake said to me. I looked at him suspiciously. Did he just say that in my head?"Can we.. can I... mind link?" I asked out loud."Yes!" He smiled then grabbed my hand and pushed me to run faster. We reached the training grounds and Blake ripped opened a locker. He threw me clothes and we quickly dressed.Thankfully, it was black leggings and sports bra that actually fit me. I really didn't want to fight in baggy men's clothes. I headed to the weapons and grabbed some stars and the Sai. I strapped them on a belt around my waist then took my baton."What are you doing?" Blake asked me perplexed why I was all geared up."What doe
"Get me towels! We need to take out the arrow and stop the bleeding." Cynthia called out. I looked at her confused. She was covered in blood and sweat as she order others to help a man with three arrows in his back. Her father was one of the head doctors here, but I didn't know she was interested in medicine, or knew anything other than how to be mean.I grabbed towels and quickly handed them to her. "How can I help?" I asked.She looked at me twice then swallowed her pride. We weren't mortal enemies fighting over a stupid Alpha right now. "I'm going to pull the arrows out. You apply pressure while I get the needle. We need to sew him quickly. His body will heal the rest." She said, keeping her gaze on the man."Ok, I can do that.""Needle! Thread!" She called out. Another woman told her we had no more."We can burn them shut." I said, thinking quickly how to help him."Good idea. I'll be right back." She ran to the other side of the room and grabbed a large bowl to sit next to us. Sh
Seventeen years in futureMy name is Sasha Lycanic, born a low-level omega with nothing special about a single hair on my body. To make my life infinitely worse, my father was a traitor. My life didn't start out bad, it just kept plummeting downhill and for so long I was too weak to take the wheel. My eyes stared at myself through my vanity's mirror with a small smile tugging at my lips, remembering the days of my youth. I was young and naive. I loved deeply and oh so wrongly. I chose a life that damned myself, and I didn't realize it until it was too late. Now I was grown, no longer a child or so naive."It's time!" My mate called to me and I rose from my chair. Today, I cannot be weak. Today, I would be proud and support my son. My Lycan son, born out of malice and betrayals. I loved him, as I did all my children, but he was the oldest, the first and our future Alpha. "Coming darling." I said in a sweet voice. I may not have become everything I thought I would be, but above all
I sat beside a lake taking long breaths. I knew I couldn’t plead for my life again. This was beyond the goddess’ power and I’ve cheated death too many times. My hand moved over the small bump on my belly and tears fall down my cheeks. If I die, so do they. Would I ever know who they were, or do they become nothing since they were never born?“My daughter.” The velvety smooth poison nearly cracked my skull open and it made me smile. I wiped my tears away as I looked to the moon goddess. I wasn’t dead, at least not yet.“I never thought I would be so happy to be in this much pain.” I cried to her.Charlotte appeared next me and I hugged her instantly. “I miss you so much.”“I miss you too. We don’t have much time and the goddess wanted to speak to you through me.”“Ok.” I bit my lip, body filling with excitement. This had to mean I would return home soon and I couldn’t wait to kiss my mate’s lips.I looked to the moon goddess as Charlotte spoke her words. “This is the last time we will
“This isn’t true.” I mumbled as my feet fumbled over myself. Draconian was pissed and on a mission to get me as far from the pack house as possible. I understood his worry, but I couldn’t just leave. “Where are my children? My family?”“Your mother has them safe and off territory already. We will meet them at an ally pack’.”“An ally pack? They are all here.” I was trying to get my mind to work as we ran down four flights of stairs. I wasn’t even sure how I could survive without Bolton, but I needed to get to my kids. My hand went to my mark, remembering his touch to my skin. I could still feel him. “There’s no pain.”“What?” Draconian looked back at me and the fear that crossed his face was unmistakable.“It doesn’t burn. I can feel Bolton.”“Sasha, he might have not completely died, but we can’t go out there. You’ll be killed in seconds. You have to let him go.” Draconian’s hands came to my arms. He looked at me lovingly, but with a deep longing. “Drac? Something is off.” My eyes
“Sasha! Get up!”I woke to Bolton screaming beside the bed. “What is...” before I could ask I heard the bells of war. “Their here!”“Yes! Today we finish this.” Bolton growled at me with red eyes. There was my monster. He was ready and so was I.“Yes. Today we finish this.” I repeated, standing to kiss my handsome mate then went to dress quickly. I was amped and ready for this battle, but I had no idea how it would end. I was always a foolish girl though, believing good would triumph if I just fought hard enough. Today was the true test of my beliefs and I would forever bury that teenage girl raised as nothing but a weak omega born to a traitor of my pack. Today, Sasha Glancia would truly die and I would own my name and rightful place as Sasha Leto. A name that would be known as the greatest and truest Luna of any specie for generations to come. It was the cost that made it all seem unworthy though.“You ready?” Eldora flew beside me on the roof of our pack house.“I’ve been ready f
Three weeks passed and surprisingly four species coexisted on my land somewhat peacefully. It wasn’t without fights or many being locked away for a night to sober up, but it was three weeks that they all bonded.“I like this little village we have here. It reminds me of the fairy land we occupied.” I snuggled into Bolton’s side. “It is like that. Expect we have proper shelter and plumping here.”“Yes, and I do love the luxuries of modern life. Bath?” I looked up to him. He was as a sweaty mess as myself. He woke me before the sunrise so we could have hours naked in bed before our kids woke. “Tempting, but I have to meet Draconian. He heard some rumors of an attack being planned at my kingdom and the witches’ neighborhoods.”“What rumors?”“Dragons been seen lurking about different territories.”“You think they will attack their lands since most are here? If we leave their people unprotected and they are ambush, it will put a wedge between us all.”“I know and that is why we need a p
“Well, you look... better.” I tried to hide the worry on my face.“I look disgusting.”“It just one little spot. The rest of you is gorgeous.” I gave her a smile.“It’s the only thing anyone can see. Thankfully I’m locked away from the public eye.” Her fingers brushed the dark black ooze on her neck. Something was wrong with her mark and no one knew what. Fortunately, whatever odd growth happening from Blake’s mark it didn’t seem to affect her physically. The doctor cleared all her vitals and said it should have no effect on her child, but even they weren’t sure. There was no record of a mark ever turning into a black crusty wound that occasionally oozed out venom.“It will be ok. You’re perfectly healthy. We just have to be patient. Eldora and... the witch will be here.” I actually didn’t know any of the witches’ names. “I doubt they will know more about a mate’s mark than our own stupid people.” She hit the bars in frustration.“We will figure it out, Cynthia. You’re healthy and a
After watching Cynthia be escorted out of the hospital by our guards the mood between Bolton and I was soured. I couldn’t believe Blake did this to her and it made me want his death on my hands so much more.I couldn’t do that now though. If I killed Blake it would kill her. I was debating what to do about Viktor too. I didn’t want Bolton to lose his mom. The rest of the day he barely said two words to me, but I felt his hand to my skin every moment. He knew I needed to think and without his commentary. He made a point to remind me he was still here though.After dinner I put my kids to bed which my mom and Draconian agreed to stay with them at the pack house. The rest of my sibling stayed too and I doubled the security. I knew if Blake or Viktor showed up, my family would be their first target. It was no secret I would give up anything to keep them safe.By sundown a horde of Vampires arrived. I wasn’t sure who was left at their kingdom or even where it was. Watching Bolton greet th
“We have so many things to do, baby.” Bolton sighed after we made out for another twenty minutes. “I want to just lock you in a room for weeks and enjoy every inch of your body, but we have two major threats we need to kill.”“Blake and Viktor.” I sighed too, feeling the weight of what they would be plotting now. “Do you think they know I’m alive?”“Probably. I want you to remain in the pack house.”“I won’t lock myself in here, psycho. I will promise to be always guarded though.”“I will guard you and no one else.” He growled.Before I could begin telling him that we can’t be literally glued to the others’ side a knock came at the door. I quickly opened it praying it wasn’t bad news.“Cynthia is asking for you, Luna.”“Cynthia? Where is she?”“You haven’t heard?”“No, what’s wrong. The last I knew she left the arena with her fated.”“She isn’t talking, but something happened. She is at the hospital and in bad shape.”I looked to Bolton with worry. “I’ll go right now.”I practically r
The kids ate a mountain of food then ran around talking to almost everyone that came into the dining the hall. They were little social butterflies and felt completely comfortable in our pack. Bolton sat beside me, hand in hand, even as we ate. Once the plates were cleared he pulled me from my chair and into his lap. I could feel his desperate need to feel my skin to his. Before today I would had thought it to be annoying if someone acted like this, but now, knowing I was his only desire, his only need. I felt like the most valuable creation every made. “I love listening to your never ending thoughts.” Bolton’s lips were in my ear. “Especially when they are about giving me every part of you.” “I’m yours now. You can take anything you wish from me.” I gave him a wink and he took my lips like a beast. I giggled over his rough kisses, laying my hands to the sides of his face. “I’m never going to get tired of this. In fact, the more you kiss me the more I want.”“More? I know exactly wh
