RhianPastEighteen Birthday“March 13th,” I say as I let out a long sigh. Nine years ago, the Withers Moon pack snuck into our territory and cleaned out my entire pack, I was the only one to survive thanks to my mother. From what I’ve heard what once beautiful busy pack grounds were all reclaimed by nature and the only thing left standing was the stone foundation my pack house once sat. When the Alpha of the pack of murderers found me, he spared my life, but it wasn’t out of remorse or sympathy. It was because there was because people were around, and he wanted a slave. My father was stabbed in the back by someone who was supposed to be his close friend. I said I was an orphan taken in by the Silver Lake Beta, and they continue to believe the same story nine years later. I always have the feeling they would kill me if they knew I was the daughter of the Alpha they killed. There is no reason for them to know who I am. I check the time hurried to my feet and quickly threw on yesterday’
“Wow,” I said aloud as the packhouse members were walking in. I look up from the papers I had laid out on the counter and quickly gather them before heading back to my room where I remained for the rest of the day.It’s the day I have been waiting nine long years to come my 18th birthday, the day I gain my wolf and the help from her to make a plan to leave this place. In the days leading up to my birthday, I’ve started to plan my escape but without the help of my wolf, I wouldn’t be able to fulfill anything. I need her wolf abilities to have both the speed and strength to run and jump over the wall that was holding me captive in this territory.Good morning, Rhian, happy birthday! I am Nala. I’m your wolf, while you’re not officially eighteen until today the Goddess feels that you need me a bit earlier than that.I am grateful for that I really need your help…. Nala do you smell that? I didn’t really have the brain capacity to finish what I wanted to say to Nala before the smell of f
I completely ignore Xavier as I walk around him, I can see the Beta pulling up with my car. When I get to the car the Beta quickly opens the door and I carefully lower the frail body I was carrying into the back seat and cover her with a warm blanket. Thankfully for Leo’s sake, she is still breathing but barely. What have I done for the Moon Goddess to give me another chance at having a mate only to take her away again? The questions kept coming to my mind as the Beta came to a stop in front of the pack hospital. As soon, as I walked in thru the doors with my mate in my arms nurses immediately, began rushing to my aid.“What happened?”“I’m not sure she’s covered in blood and her head was being held underwater when I found her.” I couldn’t get another word out before the nurses started placing a tube down her throat to assist in her breathing. In the quick drive from the packhouse to the hospital, her breathing has become extremely faint. I can feel the pain of the bond slowly dissi
“Allan...?” I hear Rhian’s sweet voice call out.“What is it, my dear?” I say moving to sit beside her.“You’re my second chance Allan I wasn’t expecting a second chance so soon. I only just turned eighteen, and in nine years I’ve completely become a shell I’ve been beaten I’ve been starved. I’m not even sure if you really want me or if this is just a joke.” My heart sank at her words. For nine years the love of my life was abused and starved. I look her in the eyes where tears have started to form once again. I pull her close and softly brush the back of my hand against her swollen cheeks.“Please trust me not to hurt you.”When I look Allan in the eyes all I could see was sadness Nala kept telling me he is telling me the truth and that I can trust him. Allan’s hand touches my cheek and his thumb wipes something wet from my eyes.“My first mate abused me and rejected me and that hurt me. Not much but the feeling of the bond breaking it really hurt. I can’t go thru that again. Can you
“Lunch sounds great please!” I say looking up at Allan as he folds his tall masculine body into the back seat of his car.“Where is there to eat? I’m hungry as a pig, I hardly ever eat.”I notice the Beta and Allan both exchanging looks as they both speak in unison.“Hey!”“They have a burger that is to die for! You won’t be disappointed.” Allan spent the next fifteen minutes telling me about how this place has a burger that’s infused with bacon and how he and the Beta always come here when in the area. I just stared out the window as we left the territory. I’d never been this far away from the packhouse before everything was different. Everything was much more colorful. After about an hour we come to a complete stop in front of a cute Riverfront diner. Allan climbs out of the back seat and makes his way around to my door; he opens it and extends his hand to help me up out of the car. I have no idea what town, area, or even which province I am in anymore. But this place is breathtaki
I can’t wait for my princess to prove to these people wrong and show them that she is stronger than what they think. When she is completely healed and feels up to it, I will let her begin Warrior training that way if she were to be attacked, then she can get stronger and show these people what is what. Like all packs Blood Moon does run a chance of a Rogue attack, more so the lone wandering pack members of Blood Moon are susceptible to being attacked more than a small pack of wolves. I try to ensure that all my pack members are trained with some sort of self-defense. As I reach the top of the stairs, I’m caught off guard by a familiar voice.“Alpha Allan How are you, my friend!” I turn to see Alpha Baron.“Alpha Baron, my old friend. I’m great just taking Luna here to our room so she can rest.” I say looking down at a still resting Rhian.“She’s very pretty, my friend. You’re an incredibly lucky man Alpha. If you mind me asking, what is her name?”“If you don’t mind, would you mind fo
I smile; this is the first time I like Axel as a billionaire.Axel guides Ria into the car and loads our bags into the trunk.It doesn't take us so long to drive straight to the private helipad where Martin Axel's pilot is waiting.Ria is keeping her calm and quiet; thank God for that. I'm unsure how to tell her.The events are happening fast, and the situation might cause her shock and confusion; I'll clear everything up once we're alone."This is Martin, your Captain for today's flight; in behalf of the deck crew, we thank you for flying with us, especially our big boss, President and CEO of the Peters Group Of Companies Incorporates; thank you, Sir Axel; we are taking off in a few minutes, please buckle up and get ready for the ride, our flight will be seven hours long, estimated arrival times,Fourteen-six in the evening later today, Good Morning, and We wish you a relaxed trip, thank you."Ria stares at the sea of clouds by the window; her hand is under her chin.But I'm not the
Into the dim yellow warm light, I'm aware of someone sliding into the barstool next to mine.Perhaps a man or woman, I don't care, I'm not here to have a social activity or get laid, I'm here because any alternative plan will make me crawl back to the pit of that shitty hole I come from. Robin might be on her way here.The bartender comes over, and his eyes glistening, not with tears; he glances at the person sitting next to me with a stunned expression. He gets me in my curious state."What can I get you, Sir?""Some Rum, Wally." The low male voice is soothing to hear.I give the man a quick look."Hello there." I find it a mistake for him to utter a greeting my way.I scowl, and it grows more severe as he smiles at me casually, displaying her perfect white set of teeth. I'm so ready to jump into him and bite his head off. I glare at him, and he turns his head matching my glare. I have an actual glimpse of his handsome face. He is good-looking, downright good-looking for that matter:
