Monkshood - One With The Wolf Chapter 11 - Returning Home
Six months after that fateful night brought them back into the present where emotions were still heightened, and control was a foreign concept …It had been a difficult six months for Alexa, a tumultuous storm of confusion, fear, anger and feelings she was too afraid to face. But these last six months had scared themselves into the depths of her memories, both the good and the bad.And that was something she was learning to live with. But if she was completely honest with herself, as long as her constant shadow was around, she was sure she could face anything.She shot a quick glance behind her back, and sure enough, there he was, no more than a few feet from her. Close, but far enough to give her the space she needed, calming her and her erratic thoughts.Then she stumbled over a root…He felt her embarrassment as she clumsily rectified her footing, the abrasion on her bare feet healing almost instantaneously as she continued to walk. He had to stifle a chuckle, but his amusement tic

He had been the first to submit to her willingly, happily. He still recalled how her electrifying gaze had never left his, even when they had become the last of the pack still standing in that snow-covered clearing. She had his main focus, still is he mused, and he had been hers, as it should have been since their first meeting. The air had been still, and for once since they had officially met, they had been in sync with one another. It was a foreign feeling, to be completely hers and vice versa. As much as he had wished to stay that way forever, Alexa was still weak, locked away by the wolf in their shared psyche. And he had to bring her back so that they could help her heal. ‘Change back,’ he had urged after what seemed like an eternity had passed of them just existing side by side. The she-wolf had merely growled at him, her lip curling in displeasure and her gaze turning to ice at his urging. ‘Free,’ her voice, which was so foreign yet so very familiar at the same time, had b
Monkshood - One With The Wolf Chapter 13 - Respect
Alexa could feel his gaze on her back, but she had soon realized that she could always feel his gaze, as was their magnetic relationship. It didn’t bother her as much as it once did, instead it made her feel safe, knowing he was there, not that she’d ever admit it out loud, and if he asked about it, which thankfully he hadn’t, she’d vehemently deny it, even if he could feel it through their bond anyway.For the rest of their trek through the forest they had remained silent, neither brave enough to break through the tension between them, though less awkward than when they had first left the clearing due to their short conversation on the way back.The walk soon ended, much to Alexa’s disappointment, not that she’d ever admit to it that either.Without so much as another backwards glance at Aiden they both entered the bustling little village known as the Burrow.Everything had changed for Alexa since the first time she had woken up here nearly two years prior. She wasn’t the same damage
Monkshood - One With The Wolf Chapter 14 - Relaxation
Just like that, with a single call, all the tension in her body melted away, her shoulders completely dropped from their stiffened position and her hands relaxed at her sides. She turned her body toward the one who called out to her and a smile brighter than the sun spread across her face. Her pink and full lips split open to show her slightly sharpened canines, the corners of her eyes crinkled as the smile widened as she locked eyes with whomever had caught her attention, and a single dimple on her right cheek could be seen as her mood visibility brightened in what seemed to be a split second. Aiden was almost jealous, a feeling he tried to stifle, almost relieved she was too distracted to notice it flash through their bond. He'd never gotten one of those smiles before, it made him almost green with envy. All he had ever gotten was a tight-lipped smile or a sarcastic smirk unless he caught the woman, he loved off guard. But he couldn't blame the person responsible for her smile be
Monkshood - One With The Wolf Chapter 15 - The First Opponent
A chill ran down her spine as if a ghost had brushed up against her skin, leaving it feeling hot as sparks of annoyance were struck in the pits of her stomach. It just had to be her, and it had to be now, now that things had finally cooled down between her and Aiden. ‘Like you could be an Alpha,’ the haughtiness of the comment echoed as it had with the first one and only served to sour Alexa’s mood even further. It didn't take a genius to hear the impertinence in this newcomer's voice nor to one to identify the snide scoff that soon followed it. With an exasperated sigh, and the oncoming signs of a migraine, Alexa unwillingly turned toward the beautiful but arrogant Native American woman, who stood tall and slender like a model, her straight black hair falling like an onyx waterfall across her copper-kissed shoulders. Her chocolate brown eyes were surrounded by an expertly applied smokey eye shadow. And her lips were smeared a bright red which stood out against her perfect skin. Ye
Monkshood - One With The Wolf Chapter 16 - Victory
‘Kneel,’ once again the order washed over Vanessa like a tidal wave and her legs buckled out from under her, sending her falling into the ground with another audible thud, her knees cracked at the sheer force. Tears began streaming down her cheeks, her expertly applied mascara running like rivers of black against her tanned skin. Vanessa’s breathing hitched in her throat as she struggled against the weight of an Alpha’s order. She panted as a cold sweat broke out across her skin causing the rest of her perfect makeup to run. Her fingers dug into the dirt beneath her as her knees ached. She shrunk backward, almost crawling on her hands and knees when Alexa continued to menacingly take steps toward her. Her lips trembled but no sound escaped, her sobs trapped by the first order. Eventually, Alexa caught up to the cowering she-wolf, towering over her with a look of anger that had Vanessa wanting to scream out in horror, but soon found herself unable to even whine. The redhead glared co
Monkshood - One With The Wolf Chapter 17 - Outrage
Speed, to move faster than the human eye could see, that was what speed had meant to her. Her supernatural strength made her the top dog in the metaphorical food chain, but in all these years on this human infested earth she never once thought she’d be using her enhanced speed and strength to run away from something she had deemed nothing but an ant beneath her stylish boots, but there she was, scuffing her perfectly polished Gucci boots because a mutt had told her to. Her! Vanessa Lightwater! A purebred werewolf of the esteemed Black Pines pack, had been ordered to run with her tail between her legs by some Alpha-wanna be mutt… Just who did she think she was? The Lightwater’s had been part of the Black Pines Pack for centuries, and one day this abomination struts in and she has to bow down? Oh, she didn’t think so. Almost at the edge of the great Black Pines National Forest, at a speed far greater than that of any ordinary human, Vanessa sprinted as fast as her impractically tall s
Monkshood - One With The Wolf Chapter 18 - An Old Nemesis
With an idea firmly planted in her mind she took another moment to compose herself, her insidious plan bouncing around her head as she gleefully and expertly pulled a compact mirror out from the small sequined clutch purse she had somehow managed to hold onto throughout her ordeal with the redheaded Alpha. She nearly let out another shriek at the state of her appearance. Annoyance caused her face to contort, finally revealing her true nature beneath the beauty she took so much pride in. With a barely calming breath she studied the twisted smudged makeup, mascara tracks that had hideously run down her cheeks, even her lipstick had smudged across her chin, from what she couldn’t be sure, but the look she had worked so hard on that morning was completely ruined. She was a sore sight to look at, and Vanessa could not have that, she had an image to uphold after all. From that same clutch she pulled a makeup wipe and proceeded to clean her face, removing any sign of her weakness, of her f

Monkshood - One With The Wolf Chapter 10 - The Challenge
The order rumbled through the mind link, and many of the wolves were quick to obey. Aiden felt his entire body stiffen as he all but felt his father’s domineering presence approach through the pathway of wolves. His black coat glistened dangerously at them, a stark contrast to the pure white snow blanketing their surroundings. Aiden felt the hackles on the back of his neck rise, dread filling his stomach like a lead brick, heavy and unrelenting making him almost queasy at the thought of their meeting. She felt his uneasiness, and -correctly he may add - took it to mean that a threat was coming her way, and she dropped further, her fangs dripping with her saliva, and her chest rumbling in warning. Aaron exuded power, each stride could have shaken the earth beneath his claws. His crimson eyes, cold and calculating, took in the new werewolf before him and her glistening white coat. And though her electric gaze still unnerved him he did not let it show, instead held his head high, and l
