I froze.I began to shake slightly, I pulled myself away from Dustin's warm, comforting embrace. I slowly allowed my eyes to detour up to his, and I saw the brief hurt in them before he composed himself."Oh my God." I choked out.He began to reach out towards me, but my hand quickly flung up, keeping him back.I began to slowly back away from him, it was odd to be so far from him without a piercing shriek ringing through my ears.My hands were shaking badly, so much so that I lost my concentration and Dustin broke free of his restraints, immediately running to me.He held my forearms in his hands, I knew that he could feel me shaking. I looked up, once again meeting his eyes."Holy shit." I hissed, breaking free of his hold."What the hell did you do that for?" I shouted, frustrated as I ran my hands through my hair, messing it up.His mouth dropped open as he stared at me for a moment before composing himself."Sor—" he began, but stopped himself, a thoughtful look graced his face b
I was entranced by the object infront of me.A simple stopwatch, an antique. The golden chain that was strung through the small clock had belonged to my father, the last thing I had from my old life. And it was currently floating in the air infront of me. I was not perplexed by the stopwatch itself, more of what I was doing to it. I was used to being able to move things with my mind when I was feeling emotional.But right now? Right now I felt completely out of it. I wasn't really feeling an emotion when it happened.I saw it laying on the ground, having fallen off my desk most likely, and reached down to pick it up, but before I could touch it myself, it shot forward and into my grasp as though I had moved it with my mind.It was currently spinning around in the air like leaves in the wind.I smiled at it, for once I was doing something without being incredibly emotional. I was in control, I wasn't reacing to something, I was just... acting.I felt a smile grace my face, before the d
The wolf stared me down like I was it's prey. It's hazel eyes seemed almost welcoming, if it wasn't for the situation, it's eyes glaring at me like I was it's worst enemy. What had I done? Gory, ripped flesh hung off it's razor sharp teeth that looked like they could rip me in half with a single swipe, the putird scent was like a vicious warning. I was aware that I would die soon. Vicious snarls tore through it's bared teeth, this was a situation that in no way did I want to be involved in. Yet i was. How had I gotten into this situation? I had no idea. I had no way to defend myself, all I was, was a weak human. I could not shift. I was powerless against the inhumane creature infront of me. His large jaws began to widen, it knew it had me at my knees begging for my life, he had me. The snarls told me he was preparing to gulp me down like a piece of meat. He didn't get the chance. My pack jumped infront of me, their own teeth bared, ready to protect me. Why? But this time my dre
DUSTINHer dark hair swayed in the wind as she sat on the grass, somehow it seemed greener, more luscious where she was sat, as though her very presence was affecting it.As much as I loved being here, with her. I knew that soon, I would have to go back.As an alpha, my worry for my pack was increasing by the day, and as much as I wanted to go down to check on them, I knew that there was no way that I could leave her. Not now, not when she had finally accepted me and we were getting somewhere. I had lost her once and I wouldn't do that again.Word had spread that both myself and my beta were gone from my pack. I had been gone for weeks and who knew when I would be back, and my beta was dead. Not that he deserved to be alive considering the wretched thoughts he had concerning Cassandra's death.It was an internal debate I was having, to go back, or not go back.I knew what the right thing to do was, if I left for just a few days I would have time to sort out pack business and put someo
DUSTINChase and Dawn continued to stare at me in complete shock, their eyes giving away their fear at what had just happened."What the heck just happened?" Dawn spluttered."That was my mate." I told them truthfully, narrowing my eyes as their own eyes widened in shock. "What?" I growled at their response."Let me get this straight, Alpha Veronica... is your mate? As in your life-partner?" Dawn asked."Yes.""Cool." Chase grinned, "She seems 'right"I shook my head, Chase had always been a good friend to me. Trust him to be okay with it.We walked back to the pack house, many pack members widened their eyes at me, shocked to see me again. How long had it been since I had last seen them?And I would no longer see these people. With that realization, each pack member I saw I would stare at with interest, memorizing each individual crevice on their faces. It was difficult, it was no where near as easy to picture their faces than it was Cassandra's. But It was important to me to do so.
For the first time in what seemed like forever, I was dreaming.I knew this, because despite the slight change in scenery, I could still feel the warmth of multiple blankets and Dustin's arms wrapped around me, along with his presence in the back of my mind, providing a form of comfort.I wasn't having one of my usual nightmares, I was with him.We were sat on a large patch of grass, a place that I didn't know, yet it fit in perfectly with the scenery provided by my packs land, I gently ran my fingers through the textured ground, tugging on the silky strands of luscious grass as we spoke, my eyes constantly interlocked with his.It was what you might call a meaningless conversation, there was no particular topic, we just spoke of whatever came to mind.And then a small force slammed into me, I kept upright, only slightly nudged by the warm being.I looked down to see a young child with her hands wrapped around my waist.She had plaited golden blonde hair with big blue eyes, her cheeks
I could feel us both panting heavily as we stared at each other."Is this okay?" He mumbled, going back to kiss me."Yes," I replied, an edge of confusion to my voice, but I didn't really care, I was too caught up in the moment."I just don't want to rush you into any new experiences." He said, gently kissing my neck where his mark was.It was hard to concentrate when he did that, but I caught onto his words quickly.I stopped him then, "What are you talking about?"He gave me a slight smile, I could almost tell from the look he gave me that he thought I was a virgin."Your innocence." He replied.There it was."Dustin..." I sighed, "I'm not a virgin."He froze then, "What?" He asked in disbelief.I could see in his eyes that he desperately wanted for that not to be true.His hands tightened around my waist, unconsciously bringing me closer as his jealously got the better of him."I said I'm not a—"He cut me off, "I heard what you said," He replied, his breathing suddenly laboured.H
I stood with my arms crossed in front of me, staring at my pack. Dustin stood by my side, though slightly behind me, he was not yet an alpha.Today, the new Alpha and Luna of Nightblood pack were coming to introduce themselves to us."Alpha Memphus and Luna Rose of Nightblood will be visiting today," I announced, "They will not be here long, and will only be here to speak to me, so you do not need to be worried."There were a few murmurs throughout the gathered pack, but nobody seemed particularly worried about it, just curious. I smiled at that, it was nice to see the faith they had in themselves as a pack.When they arrived, the entire pack was still gathered towards the back of the pack lands, it must seem isolated to them.Myself and Dustin made our way to the pack house, going in through the back door.We waited by the door, and they took their time coming up, by which point I was getting impatient. Just when I sensed that they were right by the door, I opened it, much to their s
