Clara locked eyes with Viktor and for a second she didn’t move. It looked as if she was contemplating listening to his command. I breathed a sigh of relief as she lifted her foot and stepped away from the rogue. Viktor shifted his attention and his gaze trailed over the rogues on their knees, the witches, and our warriors standing. I made my way over to him and stood by his side.
“You’ve fought long and hard in this battle, and you’ve fought longer and harder for the safety of our people. You’ve endured sacrifices for our home and our people are better off for the service rendered by all of you. Thank you to our new friends who aided us and our Luna when I couldn’t,” Viktor said. The wolves barked and the people standing cheered.
“All of the rogues who have bent a knee will have the option to leave, our Deltas will escort you off the territory. Anyone who wan

KacieOther than the sounds of our footsteps, the silence was deafening as we walked down the hallway. The witches glided behind us and I headed along the ground toward the meeting room and I was surprised at the scowl on Jake’s face. Sensing my gaze, his face lightened as he glanced at me.“I know you don’t like Clara but we discussed this morning. Why are you so upset?” I asked. I tried to ignore the shudder that raced along my spine. The idea of an argument breaking out during the meeting was terrifying. The chance of it happening was more than possible.“The fact that she can turn on us at any moment is what has me on edge. I didn’t like the thought of one witch on our territory but now we’re stuck with three,” Jake growled low.“Jake is right, we now have multiple witches here and no clue of how to control them,” Jamie says
My Alpha's Mark Reactive
KacieNyx leaned over and grabbed Jade’s hand. Jade nibbled her lip and sat back in her seat. The topic of enemies was dropped and Jamie leaned forward.“I get why you would want to help Kacie now, but we only needed Clara to come. Why did all three of you come?” Jamie asked.“Kacie is going to need all three of us. We are gifted in different ways and our abilities will prove useful to her,” Clara said. Clara met Jake’s eyes, “Just as you don’t trust me, I don’t fully trust you. Not everyone will welcome us here, I need them here to have my back.”“That’s understandable,” Jamie said.“There are more of you than there are of us,” Clara said.“That doesn’t give us the comfort I think you think it does,” Jamie started, “we all saw y
My Alpha's Mark Forewarned
KacieThe sun was hidden behind a gray cluster of threatening clouds. There was moisture in the air with the promise of rain. A cool breeze sent goosebumps down my back. The crunch of leaves and thin sticks under my feet would have been music to my ears if it weren’t so awkward. I wondered about our training and what we would be doing. Questions of how far we would go today had me feeling both excitement and nervousness.As Clara and I walked, the silence only grew until it was louder than the wind. We hadn’t been alone since the night she helped me escape and we haven’t had a chance to speak since the battle. The longer I tried to think of what to say the more I couldn’t come up with the words and the more awkward it grew.The sky darkened and I decided against trying to talk. At this point, it was probably better not to put my foot in my mouth. We headed towards a secluded area without
My Alpha's Mark I did it!
Kacie“Was trying to avoid your Beta’s scorn after he saw you returning without clothes. I like them a little riled up but I almost struggled him to death and you weren’t very happy. I didn’t think it would hurt to warn you in advance,” Clara said. She was wearing a spaghetti-strapped black knee-length dress and she paired it with black combat boots. The orbs hanging from her ears glowed brighter as she faced me.“Thanks for the warning,” I laughed. “I would like to avoid as many conflicts with you and Jake as possible.”“He’s not my biggest fan,” she said, “that’s for sure.” Her tone was slightly distasteful but when I searched her face there were no signs of it. “Also, try not to get hurt… I don’t have the power to heal.”“Is that another warning?” I asked.
My Alpha's Mark Try
KacieCome on, Kacie.I’m trying, Ath.Well, try harder!Easier said than done.Sweat beaded on my temple and across my forehead. It was harder than I would have and I grunted as I struggled against the will of my gift. It clearly didn’t want to listen and as I fought against the wall that separated my will from it, the flame flickered. With one final push, it finally shattered.The wall separating our wants fell to the ground and I felt my power leave my body. Instantly it obeyed me and I grunted as the force almost left me breathless. Opening my eyes, my jaw dropped as I stared at the view in front of me.What I had been trying to do was send the flames from my fist. That was what I picture
My Alpha's Mark Done
KacieThere was no doubt in my mind as I stared at Clara. I knew what I was about to do and I didn’t have an ounce of hesitation. her head jerked to the side and her gift obey and blocked my flaming sword as it swung at her. That’s when I saw it, she stood there wide open and it was now or never.The flames were small but burned bright with intent. I took a deep breath and lunged at her. A few seconds in mid-air and Clara turned her head slightly. She stared at me but there wasn’t shock or surprise in her eyes. She may not have seen me coming but she knew, of course, she knew.It was too late for her to dodge but I had the feeling she didn’t have any intentions of trying to get out of the way or protecting herself. Was this a test? Was I being tested? My mind was a jumble of thoughts.My left hand connected with her first, the flames scorching through her dress as
My Alpha's Mark Knew
Kacie The thoughts I’d had in my head just a few moments ago replayed in my head and I was mortified at the way I had been thinking. Burn down the world? What the fuck. I sat back on my legs and stared at my hands. That was the effect of my gift. I would never want to hurt anyone else. I would never choose to do that. That wasn’t me… was it? I’d been ready to do what Clara and her sisters came here to prevent. I know it was only the first day but the future was looking bleak. I’d been doing well in the first half of training with Clara but in the last half… I’d failed miserably. I couldn’t see a future where I would or could have full control over my gift. Would I always be a danger to those around me? Would a day come where I would hurt Viktor or Jake? We were able to prevent me fr
My Alpha's Mark Sisters
Kacie“You’re half-witch, Kacie. I was privy to the meeting where Viktor shed light on the pack but I didn’t know you actually believed it. That pack had the gift of fire but your wolf also erupts into flames. Your power calls to mine, you should have felt the same thing.”Her words hit me but for a moment, I’m too stunned to speak. A witch? Me? I shake my head, the idea is ludicrous. What Viktor found out makes more sense than this. This doesn’t make any sense.“No,” I denied. I knew who I was and a witch wasn’t it. “Your gift doesn’t call to mine. Your power doesn’t call to mine and I feel nothing from you. I don’t feel anything but darkness an-and coldness.”Clara tilts her head as she listens to me, she watches me and sees more than I’d like for her to see. She watches

My Alpha's Mark Epilogue Part 3
My heat aches as the thoughts flit through my mind one after the other. Tears prick the corners of my eyes before filling them. My chest pangs with the need to be wrapped up in his arms. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Jake would do all of those things. He would care for me as he had before. He would look after me as my Beta, my partner, and the father of our child.My soul wept for him, my heart broke for him, and my mind went mad for him. I curled into a ball on the bed and grasped at the sheets as the pain poured from my body. I screamed as it became unbearable and my vision went white. I cried out, my cry turning into a scream, as the door burst open. It slammed against the wall, but still my vision remained impaired.I couldn’t see anyone, but I heard voices. I felt the rush of people around me and hands checking me and prodding my belly. I froze when I felt the warmth of a hand on my shoulder and a familiar scent I didn’t think I would ever smell again. I threw my head ba
My Alpha's Mark Epilogue Part 2
Kacie I want to bury my head into his chest but I can’t. I can’t bring myself to look away. I continue staring at him as Viktor lays down by his side. He props himself up and stares down at him. The love and sadness in his eyes blend into one. His gaze darts back and forth between the two of us. A sad smile pulling at the corners of his lips. “I love you,” I whisper. “I love you,” Viktor says quietly. We shared stories, we cried, we laughed. I told him about one of the mornings after my Luna Ceremony when I woke up and found Jake naked across from me. He flexed and tried to show off. Viktor chuckled and shared a precious memory from when they first kissed. It was sweet and I wished I could have seen the look in Jake’s eyes if he had heard Viktor tell the story. The next memory Viktor shared with me was the look on Jake’s face when I walked out that first day in Ken’s house. When he smelled me and knew I was his mate, he only trusted Jake to be alone with me. That’s why he let him
My Alpha's Mark Epilogue Part 1
Kacie“I have one request,” I said.“Anything my love,” Viktor said.“I don’t want him in the lobby. I want him in our room. Can we do that?” I asked.“We can do whatever we want Kacie,” Viktor answered.In the olden days, it was common for our kind to spend the dead’s last night with them. It was like a ritual, we clean their bodies with a cloth, wash their hair, and clothe them in something loose. After the ritual the body is placed in the living room or the pack lobby if the dead was an alpha. The family would then bring their blankets and pillows to sleep in the front on the couch or the floor. It’s the last night you get with the dead. It’s a form of closure and was done away with one hundred years ago, or at least that’s what Viktor told me. When he told me about it I clung to the knowledge and asked him if we could do it too. He admitted that he mentioned it to gouge my reaction. We looked into each others eyes and knew without a doubt that we needed to do it.It may have been
My Alpha's Mark All I have
Kacie “I’ve failed. I failed and lost him,” Viktor said. The weight on his shoulders was large enough to make anyone crumble beneath it. Still, my mate stood firm. My heart broke for the mate we’d lost, but it soared knowing that he was safe. Instead of keeping my thoughts to myself I would make sure he knew. I would make sure he knew every day how much I loved him, how much I needed him in my life. I would make sure he knew how loved he was, but first, he needed to face Jake. He needed to come to grips with it as I have. He needs to make peace with it, so he can move forward. We both needed this. “Come here,” I said. I watched as he mentally drew back, away from me as if he would hurt me. As if he thought he’d lose me too if he touched me. I reached for him, my outstretched hand open in offering for him to take it. He had to take it. Viktor stared at my hand for a moment before his eyes darted to Jake on the ground between us. Desperation clear in his eyes when he looked back at m
My Alpha's Mark Ripped
Kacie In an attempt to feel whatever warmth Jake had left I pushed my body as close as I could to his. I ignored the unevenness of his body, the difference between it now and what I remembered. Everything in me came flowing out as my hair flowed out all around me. My hands grasped at his muddy shirt and my heart broke for the second time today. Jake’s body was hard and the finality of it pulled the sheet from beneath my feet. I was no longer able to deny the crushing reality. The warmth was seeping out of him as quickly as the clouds had formed above us. Footsteps squelched behind me announcing Viktor’s presence. My pain vibrated in his chest as he stopped behind me. It was enough to pull him away from mourning his sister. The curiosity outweighing the fear led him to me. I could feel his pain as he felt mine. I knew when he saw who lay beneath me because he made an unintelligible sound behind me. Still, I couldn’t bring myself to lift my head. I couldn’t look back at him. I couldn’
My Alpha's Mark Dead
KacieI’ll hurt you.I don’t want to hurt you.I don’t want to hurt him. I wouldn’t hurt him. The urge, no, the need to make sure I don’t hurt him runs through my veins as the idea of burning him strikes me hard in the chest. It’s like an ice cold bucket of water and I feel like I’ve jolted awake from a dream. The flames protest against my will as my mind refuses to hurt the man in front of me. For the first time since becoming aware I look at him. My eyes wander over black hair, a sharp jaw, and full lips. Dark tired eyes filled with worry stared down at me. My mate reaches for me a second time and this time I extinguish the flames with the flick of my wrist as realization dawned on me.My mate.He’s okay.He’s alive.If my mate is here than why am I so hurt?My does my heart bleed?I lean in toward him and his hand gently grazes over my cheek, his shoulders relaxed, and relief stared back at me. I was safe. I was in one piece. I had survived. If he hadn’t gotten my attention things
My Alpha's Mark Gone
Kacie My father’s breathing is haggard and strained beneath me. At my words he roars angrily. He’s weak, useless below me, unable to get away. When I straighten my back, lift myself up, and stare down at him. I take a moment to look over the expression of fear and regret in his eyes. I don’t bother with emotion because right now, I feel nothing. There’s only a high, a haze of bliss from his acceptance. It’s settled over me as I hover over him. The power of taking what I want, getting the revenge I sent out for. I’m hurting him, torturing him, killing him. I focus on this as he stares up at me. “All of this will do nothing. You may have killed my friends and you may have won the fight between you and I, but there’s one you haven’t and can’t win. You can’t win against death,” Charles chokes. I don’t want to hear anymore. I don’t want to hear the truth drip from his lips like poisoned honey. I won’t let him win and I won’t let his words get to me. I won’t change my mind and I won’t hea
My Alpha's Mark Kill! Kill! Kill!
Charles yanked his arm back but I didn’t let go. I did the opposite, I dug my nails in as he pulled, my claws dug into his skin and ripped. Blood pooled and burned, he yanked again this time, ignoring the bite of my nails as they pierced deeper. He wrenched his arm free, or what was left of it. I could feel his skin under my claws, chunks of meat between my fingers, as he cried out in pain. I take a moment to enjoy my work. His once scorched pink skin had turned black, blood ran down his arm and dripped to the floor. Charles turned to glare at me, and for the first time since meeting him, fear stares back at me. He clutched his injured arm and I watch as his Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows nervously. Sweat pools on his temple and slides down his brow. I chuckle at this small victory. He must have thought that I would be an easy kill. The young girl he once knew died a long time ago. Did he think that his words would have weakened me? Did he think that his words would have an affect
My Alpha's Mark Insanity
KacieNow that I knew Viktor would be okay, I could give in to what I’ve wanted since seeing the devastation the Elders caused. Now that I knew that Clara would have Viktor, I felt the opposite of what I’ve before at the thought of them together alone. I felt relief. She would make sure he was safe. I turned from Clara and focused on that man I once called father.Answering to the call of my growing flames I dashed forward. I promised to give them what they wished soon. The need for blood, for sliced skin, and the smell of burning flesh drove me forward. I would have what I desired, I would have my vengeance, my revenge. My anger fanned the flames and they grew hotter than they ever have before. I screamed out in anguish as I rushed toward the man who should have been the father I deserved. He was nothing but a disappointment.Tears run down my cheeks before they dry up and evaporate. I don’t cry for him or what I’m going to do, no, I’ll revel in my father’s death. The tears continue
