I square my shoulders back and turn, plastering a smile on my face. “Alpha Dre, this is the ladies room. Are you lost? Is there anything I can help you find?” He gives me a smile, one that makes my insides curdle and starts walking towards me, stopping only when he is right in front of me. Just a hair away all, I have to do is flinch and I could touch him. He’s tall, at least 6 4’ as I have to crane my neck to look up at him, with long white blond hair pulled into a low ponytail. His features would render him a naturally handsome man, but the hate behind his eyes turns all of it ugly. Underneath his suit I can tell he is very well defined, a top warrior. I’m sure he has women falling over themselves to get a chance to join him in his bed.“No thank you, I think I found what I was looking for.” He says looking down at me grasping a strand of my hair and taking a deep breath, smelling it. I supress the bile that threatens to climb up my throat. “You see, Miss… Soni? Was it? I’m in need
My eyes snap open, right before my Beta even gets the chance to tap me awake. His finger just an inch away from tapping my arm, “The way you do that every time is freaky man,” Kalen shudders and focuses back on the road, “We’re almost there so I just wanted to give you a heads up.”“How long was I out for?” I ask. “Ehh give or take an hour,” he shrugs.Nodding at him I let him focus on the road. Mind linking my brother Grey, “Everything okay in the other vehicles?” We traveled in a caravan, not wanting to risk something happening if we were all in the same car and got attacked. Not that I couldn’t take care of it, it was just another thing I didn’t want to have to deal with. After a few minutes Grey links me back, “Everything’s good Az, all cars in line and all wolves accounted for.” Keeping my eyes forward I see that we are approaching the Pack gate. Kalen rolls down the window to sentries guarding the entrance. “Alpha Azrael and company from the Shadow Land Pack,” he shouts to the
Waking up, it only felt like I had slept for minutes before my alarm went off. Grabbing my phone it said 530am. Groaning, I climbed out of bed and readied myself for the day. Linking my pack members here I shout them an alarm, “Goodmorning! My quarters, 30 minutes!”. After a few minutes I hear them all reply back, albeit very sleepily, “Yes Alpha!.” Rolling my shoulders back I get ready and soon hear knocking on the door. Opening it I let my pack members in, leaving two of my warriors outside to guard the door and shut the door behind them. They walk over to take seats in the living area of my room. I pull out a small black box from my bag and place it on the coffee table. It was a protector, making the room completely soundproof. With my magic it puts up a wall that is undetectable and unbreakable to keep secrets safe within. I prick my finger and place my pointer finger on it, activating it instantly. Blood wasn’t always necessary but it strengthened it. “As you all know, we are h
The smell of antiseptic and an obnoxious beeping woke me up from my deep sleep. I opened my eyes and see grey walls and white tile floor. My head feels heavy and my throat like sandpaper. Realization coursed me, clearing the haze that had surrounded my head. I was in the Pack hospital. “Soni! Soni! Are you there?” I frantically call for my wolf. My heart thumping loudly as I waited for her to respond. Seconds felt like hours as I willed her to respond to me. After a few minutes I felt a presence shift in my mind.“I’m here, Ila. I was healing you, so now I’m really sleepy. But we’re okay.” She sounds faint but she’s there. Sighing in relief I take stock of what’s going on. The beeping was coming from the machine next to, which had a constant track of my heart rate and vitals. An important thought rushed to the front of my mind, the ceremony. Before I had a chance to react the door burst open and my parents rushed in as well as the second pack doctor Dr. Richards. Shutting the door b
“Mom?”“Yes Baby?” She replies, stroking my hair she places a kiss on my head. Frowning, my brow wrinkles as I ask “where is the man that was with me?” Mom glances at Dad and a look of uncertainty passes between them. “Let’s get you home then we can talk about it, okay?” Furrowing my brows further, I just nod at them before getting up. Everything aces and the wound on my side is tender but is fully healed. Soni did a good job. It looks like there isn’t going to be a scar. They brought me a spare change of clothes so I wouldn’t have to go home in a hospital gown. Mom gave me a quick hug before her and dad stepped out so I could get changed. Something was definitely off about them and Soni was still too tired to even say much. I pulled out the hoodie and leggings my mom packed for me inhaling their comforting smell of home. Once I was dressed I pulled my hood up around my head to hide my ears and horns and opened the door to my room. All I see is mom waiting for me. “Where’s Dad?” I a
Our house was a little far off but the walk was nice and refreshing and gave me time to gather my thoughts. My mate, I found my mate. But he was none other than the most feared Alpha in the entire United States, and possibly the world. I chewed my lower lip in anticipation. I just didn’t know what to do. He smelled so nice and was drop dead gorgeous but deadly. And would he accept us for who we were? I feel Soni perk up slightly at my internal monologue. “He’s gonna love us Ily, accept mate,” I hear her whisper to me.She trails off falling back asleep. I felt horrible, I couldn’t deny my wolf her mate. Especially because it seemed like she already had accepted him. But I was scared, terrified really. My mom grabs me, pulling me from my thoughts. Looking up I see we are half a mile away from home, far enough to be out of reach of wolf hearing. Frowning, I turn my head to look at her. “Why did we stop mom?” Searching her eyes I see a slight panic that she is desperately trying to rep
I wince as people all start shouting and talking over each other before Azreal lets out a deafening roar that shakes the walls of our little house making me clap my hands over my ears, ears trying to buffer the sound. I look up and see the silver of Azreal’s eyes is swirling black with anger. “Grey, sit the fuck down.” He growls I see Grey roll his eyes at his brother, not at all afraid of him before going back to his spot. “I need to seal the room. No one moves.” He says, his voice sharp.Everyone but his pack looks confused as Azreal walks over to the coffee table and pulls out a small black box. Placing it on the table he lets his claws out, slicing his palm, letting the blood drip over the box. He murmurs a few words before the blood starts soaking into the box. “The room is now sealed, no one can hear what we are discussing from the outside nor can they see if they look into the windows,” he remarks plainly. As if this were a casual everyday experience. Walking back to me, his
“Baby you know why we couldn’t fight it?” My mom pleads. Pulling her into a hug, “ I understand momma, I don’t hold anything against you. This pack has done so much for me I could never betray them like that.” I curl up in my dad’s lap, letting him hold me. The three of us made a mess on his old recliner. Tears threaten to fall but I hold them in. I must be strong. “Momma,” her red rimmed eyes look up at me, “Why don’t you and Dad get the boys from Mema and Papa? I’m gonna go talk to Cyn and Kane” My voice cracks but I’m still able to hold back the tears. “That’s a good idea Sugar,” my dad says, the fresh air will help them. “Come on Honey.” My dad helps mom stand up and they get ready to head out the door. Looking at the stairs I brace myself for the shit storm I’m about to walk into. I know my time is limited so I square my shoulders and head up the stairs. I open the door to see Cyn crumpled on my bed, Kane is staring out the window, his knuckles are white as they grip the windo
