My head remained firmly in the clouds as I ambled inside after Ryker kissed the living daylights out of me and then left like I wasn't in shambles, trying to peel myself off the ground due to the puddle of goo I had melted into with his clever mastery.
Okay, so maybe I was being a bit melodramatic, but the mating bond made this sweltering desire seem a thousand times stronger now that he was in my presence on a more regular basis. In fact, I honestly believed it might have been rallying to a new intensity the longer I resisted its call.
I found Mari in the living room with her latest book, curled up on the sofa where she looked up upon my entrance, saying in a lighthearted manner, “It’s about time you showed up, Ronnie. I thought we were supposed to be planning a ball while Roxi was asleep?”
I knew she was only jestin

Veronica The first wave of warriors was scheduled to start arriving the day after tomorrow. As a result, Ryker and I had been unable to find much time alone together with our crowded schedules always colliding, but that was something I was hoping we could achieve tonight if he did not have to leave again. It had only been four or five days at the most since Ryker had discussed the deviations in the original plan for the ball with the others, but they were clearly not playing around when it came to ensuring their males found happiness. Ryker explained during dinner tonight how the other alphas had agreed to let several groups alternate between making the trip here from all the remaining provinces as soon as possible. He also filled Mari and I in on more about how the entire process would work. Essentially, the guests would be st

Ryker I dithered before giving chase to my mate, observing as she shifted into her gorgeous midnight colored wolf and took off for what I hoped would soon become our home. My wolf had been gnawing at the edges of my mind, slashing at my skin to spring free since the second we had broken from the confines of Ronnie’s house and into the fresh air. I couldn’t hide the degree of his hold over me as I finished talking, but I reveled in my mate’s reaction to my wolf’s presence, regardless. I stopped resisting the impulse to switch shapes when Ronnie kicked up the dirt beneath her paws, transforming into my own inky black colored wolf, though I was much larger in comparison to Ronnie’s. My wolf also had white on his muzzle, whereas hers was totally solid. I sank my claws deep int

Ryker This was not what I had in mind when I had said I didn't intend on sleeping much tonight. I shrugged on some pants while Ronnie opted to wrap the bedsheet around her toned figure. The tantalizing view suited me just fine, and the outfit had the added benefit of allowing me to keep my hands glued to the silky skin her scantily clad body exposed. I was royally pissed with Asher's ordered, "Call me now." through the link. Even so, I knew that whatever he had to say would be important. He had not been able to check in the other day for long, but I knew he had something serious to say now if he did not want to hash it out through mind link. Ronnie thankfully took everything in stride, not letting anything phase her while she was in her happy place. I felt a sense of male pride at being capable of evoking the emotions I could feel echoing back to me through our new bond. I remained disgruntled as

Veronica "Are you sure you don't want to join us?" I asked Mari one more time before meeting Remus out front. "No, that's okay. I was going to make myself some lunch, and then head over to the community center to start decorating for the dance. You guys have fun though." I returned her smile and reminded her to stay alert when she went out. Ryker had sent out a warning to the whole pack through mind link earlier this morning. He had kept it vague, but he advised everyone to be wary when outside alone and to travel in at least pairs when venturing out of town. He had apprised me of what I missed last night after falling asleep, but my mind had also been a shattered mess after the wakeup call that he gave me preceding the information. The delicious ache between my thighs persisted, serving as a reminder of all the naughty things my mate and I partook in last night. At any rate,

Ryker I was relieved the unrelenting tug of the mating bond seemed to finally be receding now Ronnie and I had exchanged claiming bites and permanently declared our intentions for all to see. I continued to feel drawn towards her, but I was able to focus more fully on my surroundings now the feeling had decreased in strength. My wolf persisted to sulk after I dropped my mate off at home late this morning, but the bond between us had morphed into a deeper level of connection, permitting my uneasiness to lessen when not in her proximity. It comforted me being able to reach out to her and feel her emotions at any point, to know she was okay when I was not around. All the same, I could not deny I was feeling sorrowful to be leaving her side as well, and I could not resist laying another smoldering kiss on her soft lips before I went, making damn certain I was ingrained in her mind every bit as much as she had already managed t

Veronica Ryker stayed true to his word and turned up around the same time as dinner to eat with us and help put Roxi to bed afterward. Even still, I found myself confused by the noticeable scent of earth that clung to his tanned skin when he arrived in spite of the fresh soap I could detect layered over it. He had not mentioned what the task was he had to complete with the others earlier when dropping me off at the rec center, but I will confess his fragrance after the fact left me intrigued. Most of the conversation over dinner centered on the warriors who were scheduled to arrive sometime tomorrow. Nevertheless, I could not help but observe Mari did not provide any input about the matter. It was not entirely uncommon for her to remain removed from the discussion, but I wondered periodically throughout the night if there was not another reason behind her silence. Rox

Veronica Scarlett and Mari insisted on watching Roxi for me while I went to my training session with Ryker. I was eager to be spending time alone with him. It seemed like we had hardly found any of it recently to concentrate on just each other with all the preparations and the ever-present task of keeping the pack safe taking center stage. I set off on foot in the direction of the training grounds, ignoring the inner protest from my wolf for disregarding one of my mate's requests. I knew Ryker did not want me promenading through the woods by myself, but I reasoned I would be fine with Roxi at home if something did occur. I had used the same path for the last two weeks, and I had never noticed anything out of the ordinary. I persisted in using the same cautious mindset as I traversed the trail towards the training grounds, and everything appeared exactly the same, despite me being by myself this time around.

Veronica I could hear Jax and Asher were arguing from their respective ends of the line, competing to be heard over the volume in the room which suddenly flared up with Ryker's big reveal, but I could not understand much of what passed with all the noise as I gathered my bearings. Then, Scarlett's voice rang out above them all, drowning out everything else as she yelled, "Would you guys shut up long enough for him to finish explaining?" Jax muttered something unintelligible under his breath in response, whereas the others immediately clammed up at Scarlett's reprimand. I found my own voice at that point, piping up, "Seriously. I am obviously fine if I am sitting here talking to you on the phone Jax. Calm down already so we can figure out what to do from here." Ryker straightened in his seat as all eyes focused on him thereafter. Meanwhile, I secretly reveled

Mated to the Alpha of the South Epilogue
Veronica I was awoken way too early for my liking the next morning, but I wasn’t complaining once I realized what had brought me back to the land of the living. I could see the sun had already risen through my squinted eyes, but the fatigue seemed determined to stick around. The sensual feeling of Ry’s stubbled beard rubbing against my inner thighs as he gently ran his tongue in circles around my bundle of nerves had my hips rocking up of their own accord. My mate’s husky chuckle was the only warning I got before he suddenly sucked my clit into his mouth, slamming me into awareness as he brought his fingers into the action now that I was awake and fully onboard with his plans. It didn’t take him long to bring me to a screaming climax then, and I was enthusiastic to return the favor after I recovered from the stars orbiting my head and took a few moments to catch my breath, that was. Ry moved up my body while I was lost in all-

Veronica I was stunned when Ry’s voice intruded, anxiously warning of his impending arrival with a severely injured Ruby in tow. I had only just taken my seat to dig into the hearty stew Willow created, but I didn’t dither to explain to the others as I jumped up to meet him at the door. Even as I scurried forth, I couldn’t help but think there had been some type of mistake. Ruby had sworn to me she would not leave her house during the fighting. I knew she had chosen to stay behind, and I had advocated for her to join the patrol groups, but we had agreed she needed more training before taking on real adversaries. I didn’t give a damn that the bears had invaded early, I was pissed at Ruby for lying to me, but then I felt horrible for being angry at a wolf who was struggling to remain with us. I zoned my concentration in on her abdomen, where it appeared the most damage had occurred. There were multiple large gashes stead

Ryker My concentration was zeroed in on getting Ruby to my mate as I ran through the forest, but I also observed the fighting appeared to be over entirely as I pushed myself faster through the trees. I didn’t let myself ruminate on our victory or the losses we undoubtedly suffered, rather I diverted all my attention towards letting Ronnie know I was on the way. {Incoming! Ruby’s been injured. It’s serious. I’ll be there in two minutes time with her.} I could barely detect the girl’s shallow breath as I continued onward. The uneven beating of her heart had me frantically hurtling forward, dodging obstacles, and darting through the trees at a risky speed with the precious cargo I carried. It wouldn’t matter, regardless, if I couldn’t get her to Ronnie in enough time. Thankfully, Ronnie was waiting with the front door thrown open wide when I reached my destination, but she was advancing towards me in the twinkling of an e

Ryker Pain rippled down my spine as I transformed mid-stride, but it was forgotten as soon as the pinprick registered. My wolf’s keen eyes took in the dim tunnels as we ran onward, and I had to admit his vision was much clearer than mine was in my human form. On the other hand, I was having a difficult time discerning which direction Holden had disappeared with his scent seemingly surrounding me at every turn. Sight and smell were two of the biggest senses I normally relied on when tracking prey, but both were limited down here to my chagrin. Magnus’ and Holden’s scent trails were down every dark corridor I took, taunting me from every turn. I was forced to slow when I lost the elder again, but it did give me the opportunity to identify the subtle differences within the lingering scents. It didn’t take me long to narrow the options down to only two possible paths of egress he might have taken once I was focused, though I conce

Veronica Relief poured through me as my eyes alighted upon the weapon the former Southern Elder was brandishing. I wasn’t stupid. I knew it was dangerous after my own encounter with it prior, but I had something to fight back with now. Ryker and Jax blocked the older male’s line of sight, so he didn’t see me whipping out my own identical cylinder. Willow’s chocolate eyes turned up when she saw what I was holding, and her lips stretched into a victorious grin as she spoke up, giving me the opening that I needed. However, she also unwittingly aided our enemy in the process, forcing me to act quickly as the noxious fumes began to spew into the air. Ryker yanking me off my feet didn’t help matters, but I still managed to initiate the container in enough time to combat the unchanged one Holden had set off. I didn’t hesitate as relief at my foresight spread through me, reaching into my pocket, and instigating another cannister so we would be able to keep going. I knew Ryker would never

Ryker I wanted to say I was positive these tunnels hadn’t existed when I was a child, but it would be a lie. I never had the opportunity to seek out all the mysteries my father had masked from his family, especially regarding this house. It had been his pride and joy, and the ostentatious nature of it displayed that well enough. Yet, my father had been as suspicious as he was cruel, so it wouldn’t astonish me if he had been the one to install this underground network all those years ago when he’d had this abode built. It would make more sense than Zeke or the elders managing to cover up such a huge undertaking without alerting the rest of the population. Just the same, my ponderings were interrupted by the distinctive noise of life erupting from within, and I was climbing into the opening without a second thought. I did have the prudence to pause long enough to ensure my mate was on board with my present course of action, but

Veronica I took in the unanticipated strain in the atmosphere, but I didn’t say anything as I held up my hand in a staying gesture and darted to the living room in order to catch Nyla before she escaped upstairs. The younger wolf had her foot poised to ascend the first step when she halted, rotating at my voice as I said, “Hold up a second, Nyla.” I trudged closer before I started speaking again, and she helpfully met me in the middle of the room. “How is Remus doing? Ryker let me know he was up this morning, but I’m guessing that is where you’re headed now.” “Yes. He actually just woke up from his nap. Thank you again for everything. I don’t know what I would do if I lost my mate so soon after finding him.” I embraced her as she became teary eyed, squeezing her momentarily before pulling back to reassure her, “Don’t thank me, Nyla. You have been working just as hard as me to help our patients heal. Everyone should be

Veronica I shot up in a flash, dashing to the bathroom to relieve myself as I was slammed back into consciousness with the realistic dream my mind had conjured up as the remnants of the wolfsbane left my system. I could still feel the sweltering heat as the mighty inferno raged on internally, but the particulars of the nightmare slithered away before I could commit them to memory. I belatedly realized I was alone when I stumbled out of the washroom after taking care of business, which explained why my mate hadn’t been laughing his ass off at my morning sprint to the toilet. Yet, I idly wandered whether it was morning after all when I caught a glimpse of the light peeking through the gaps in the loosely drawn drapes. I concentrated for a minute, taking in the competing stimuli as I tried to wake up. I could hear there were several people moving around in the common areas, as well as Ryker further out, outside in
