My wolf mentally dug his claws in at the mere thought of leaving Ronnie's side, but I had no doubt it would have been physically as well if I did not have such a tight leash on him.
He already bested me one too many times today with all the turmoil of the afternoon and the frightening revelation that followed.
I had no intention of letting him get the better of me again, even if the wounds from his razor-sharp claws had healed completely with my accelerated healing abilities by this point.
I did not like the idea of leaving any more than he did, especially knowing I would likely not be back in time for Roxi's bedtime tonight with all the tasks piling up.
Nevertheless, I knew I had to catch those bastards once and for all.
I was not naive enough to believe my mate had not been the one targeted for a reason, no way in hell was it a coincidence. That was one of the motivating factors spurring me out of t

Ryker I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as all eyes fell on me, wincing as a shard of wood dug into my ass. I guess Asher must have broken something when I hurled him into it earlier in an effort to prevent him from destroying my mate's living room. I was damn glad she wasn't here now, but I also wasn't touching Jax's last statement with a ten-foot pole. I cleared my throat and launched right into the heart of the matter, "I spent the last several hours scouring the forest between town and the training grounds, but I wasn't able to find where he disappeared to. What are we going to do about the dance?" I knew bringing up the missing elder would get Jax to recenter his concentration, and the open-ended question would buy me time to come up with an excuse in case he circled back later. Notwithstanding, I was also aware Ronnie and Mari put a lot of effort into the event. I already saw the decorations they put u

Veronica I met Mari in the hallway as I stumbled out of my room the next morning. Our circadian rhythms had synched throughout our time living together, so it wasn't an uncommon occurrence for us. Ryker had already gotten up by the time I had rolled out of bed, which was unusual to say the least. I knew there was a lot going on, but I was normally the first out of bed, bright and early every morning with Roxi's set schedule. Mari gave me a half-hearted greeting as we shambled towards the racket in the living room without bothering to make conversation along the way, neither one of us being fully awake yet. Be that as it may, I felt like my eyebrows may have reached my hairline with the shocking image presented before us as we both faltered in the entryway. Asher was passed out on the floor next to the couch while Roxi was having a blast, treating him as her personal pla

Veronica Both males looked at each other, mouths gaping and at a loss for words while Roxi happily babbled away in the background, unaware of the tension in the room thickening to a near palpable level. I had been concerned Ryker would try to leave me out of everything when I shadowed Mari last night, especially with my brother adding fuel to that particular fire, but I hadn't expected him to cut the she-wolves out of the loop altogether. As the moment dragged on without my former inquiry eliciting an audible response, I tacked on, "Why did you ask me to train any females who wanted to become warriors if you had no intention of letting them do that?" I found I enjoyed teaching others, and I did not regret agreeing to the responsibility. Yet, I was feeling disheartened and slightly hurt Ryker had led me on with false promises. Moreover, I knew there were a few females who would be crestfallen to know their

Hello wonderful people, I know I have not uploaded chapters recently. I am sorry!! There will definitely be new content uploaded later today. I have been hard at work behind the scenes. You may have noticed the new covers. I had a lot of help with them, and I think they turned out amazing! Let me know what you think! This thing is crazy. I have to write at least one hundred words to write an update this way, so this is me doing that. I did not want to leave you guys hanging. Side note, I have been outlining the next two books, and I am really excited for where the story is going! Keep being awesome :)

Ryker I decided to swing by the lodge to change clothes when I glanced down at the stains marring my once white shirt, after looking for something to distract me from my mate's luscious legs disappearing behind the closed door, that was. White really wasn't a good color to wear around a one-year-old, I would have to remember that in the future. I mind linked with Remus while I prowled through the trees in the general direction of my residence, though it hardly felt like home without my mate and daughter there. I could not help but worry the elders would attempt to replicate what had occurred 13 years ago, and I refused to leave my family without some sort of protection in my absence, Ronnie's wrath be damned if she ever found out. I intended to join the patrol groups with my newly unfettered time, but I needed to pick up the equipment for Mari first and foremost. My wolf's keen senses monitored my environs as I

Veronica “You need my help with two patients?” I inquired incredulously, gazing at Remus with my eyebrows tilted up. He raised both of his hands, gesturing towards the only other conscious male in the room. I looked up and noticed his features seemed familiar. Next, I was hit with a concentrated dose of his subtle fragrance of freshly churned dirt and earthy moss when he turned in my direction. “Seth.” I said surprised, noting his distinct lanky demeanor as he brushed aside the strands of his pale blonde hair while rotating to face me head-on. I hadn’t paid attention to my surroundings, my concentration zoned in on the patients, but I had worked with Seth on numerous occasions in the past. He wasn’t normally one to ask for help unless he truly needed it. In fact, I had learned most of what I knew from him. He was the healer in charge of running the clinic. “Hey, Ronnie,” he said as his face split into a

Veronica We spent a couple of hours, meandering around town and greeting all the guests, but we also used that time to covertly connect with our pack through mind link about what was coming. Ryker was worried about the elders being tipped off that we were aware of their plan, and I couldn’t say I blamed him after all the shit they had already thrown our way. It was different at first, getting used to being able to talk with the entire pack, in addition to my family, without ever opening my lips. I didn’t know that was something I was capable of until Ryker told me. It took some adjusting, but I found I reveled in the newfound assets I had acquired when Ryker and I had conclusively claimed each other a few nights ago, officially making me the luna.

Veronica Lightning sparked through my veins as I mutely dashed down the hall, Ryker’s husky snarls following after me as I went. I knew I didn’t have long to make it to the bedroom, so I hustled and had just made it through the door when I felt his powerful presence behind me. Using my wolf’s superior senses to my advantage, I ducked out of the way of his forward charge at the last moment and watched as he sailed into a heap on the bed. I couldn’t stop the giggles from escaping as he swept the dark hair from his frustrated face and asked in a disgruntled tone, “Why are we playing games, Ronnie? I want you now.” He said from where his long limbs were still sprawled over the violet duvet covering my full-size bed, emphasizing his last word with

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
