Angeline“Angeline,” Dora’s voice had me turning around, and I looked at her in my mind. It was different from when I heard or saw her in our shared mind. I was here with her, only a few steps away.
AngelineEverything started when I died. Well, I guess I am not dead-dead now, but pretty much getting there. How did I end up like that? That’s a very good question. It was a swift death. Lucky me, right? I don’t think so.At one moment, I was there trying to fight the mysterious man that came out of nowhere. But before my next blink, a curtain of black magic surrounded me, taking the breath out of my lungs and raising the darkness into my eyes.Don’t worry; this is not a horror story, those are silly! This is the story of how I get back — or die trying. Well, the dying part is already covered.But let’s live — or die — in the moment, shall we?No one talks about how dying feels. So, I will be the first one: it’s hella cold. It’s darker than those nights you were afraid of sleeping alone when you were little. But, more than anything, death is silence, and I never liked silence. Death doesn’t suit me at all!Going back to the darkness topic — it only lasted a couple of seconds before
AngelineAfter howling all I could, I drifted back to the movie of my life playing in my mind. Oh, that was a good part! It happened only a week ago, just before shit hit the fan.It was my eighteenth birthday, and I was so excited that I jumped off bed early in the morning, which is not something I do. Ever.Leaping off my bed, I headed to my little sister’s, Stella, room and entered it on my tiptoes before I jumped on her bed.“Good morning, pup! Do you know what day it is today?” My voice dripped with excitement.“Angel!” she sat up immediately, rubbing her hand on her little eyes and smiling, “Is it my birthday? Oh, no! It’s your birthday, the day you will meet your wolf!” She gave me a huge gaping smile. One of her front milk teeth had just fallen, and now she had that cute gap that pups her age have.“Yes!! And better than that, it means that I will be able to start my warrior training next week!” I almost squealed as I ruffled her strawberry-blonde hair. To be a great fighter l
AngelSia only stopped whimpering in my mind when the Alpha snapped from his haze and, in a swift movement, crossed the crowds, heading directly to me. Before I could even fully register what was happening, he lifted me by my hips and took me in his arms. My legs wrapped around his torso on their own accord and my eyes met his grey ones from very close. Goddess, they were beautiful!“You are MINE!” he claimed with a feral growl before crashing his lips on mine. His tongue swirled into my mouth as his hands ran down my spine and one of them set on my bvtt.Damn, my panties were completely ruined and he – along with everyone else – could surely smell it.Without parting from our kiss, Alpha Aaron strode somewhere, and when I noticed, we were deep into the forest. My eyes snapped open and I gasped into the kiss. Confused. Overwhelmed. Horny.So many intense and contradictory emotions wind-whirled inside me and made my stomach churn, moving faster than a washing machine.“Alpha Aaron, I–”
AngelHis lips caressed mine, his hands sliding down my naked waist and settling on my hips.“Finally,” he muttered, a smile of relief on his lips. His face was blurry, pretty much covered by the shadow of the night. Not even my wolf vision could catch much more than his delicious fleshy lips and stubble. I didn’t know who this man was, but I wanted him more than anything now.The smile on my face was bright and clear as he pulled me closer to his arms.“I missed you, Lil, even before our first meeting, I missed you every day. I knew that one day I would finally find the woman, the force of nature, that would light up my heart.” His sweet words echoed into my mind and made me moan as much as the way his hands were running up and down my spine.A jolt of electricity consumed my body. Were those the damn butterflies in the stomach all the teen wolf magazines talk about? My butterflies seemed to be either lost or drunk cause they were everywhere. Every inch of my body he touched felt goo
AngelI looked again at the hazel-eyed man, and my mark tingled for a second time.This time, the feeling radiated all over my body, making goosebumps rise everywhere. Nope, those weren’t the sexy kiss-my-neck goosebumps but rather the haunting ones.Even though his beautiful eyes, and his very presence brought me some comfort, his intensity shook my whole being, pushing to the surface feelings that I’d been ignoring.Inhaling deeply, I opened my eyes wide and tried to get my bearings just like someone who wakes up from a strange and uncomfortable dream. The kind of dream in which you try to turn on the light, except there is no lamp, only darkness surrounds you. It doesn’t matter how hard you try, you can’t open your eyes.Yet, now it seemed that my eyes were wide open with the haze fading away from my mind. Somehow, the simple fact of looking at this stranger’s hazel eyes made me wake up.“Grant, come here,” someone, probably his Beta, called him aside and after giving me one last lo
AngelThe words were stuck in my throat as Alpha Aaron’s hand wrapped around my neck, putting enough pressure to prevent me from breathing.Spurts of fur surged on his arms, and his gleaming eyes zeroed in on me as he released a loud guttural howl.“You fucking mutt! Do you think a little bitch like you can reject me? You can’t! But I won’t have a low creature such as yourself as my Luna. The Moon Goddess will give me someone worthy of me and my pack; a second chance mate to correct the flagrant mistake of this match!” he yelled, the words radiating from him in waves of anger.My hands reached up slowly, and since my body was too weak to fight, I failed to push his strangling hand away.“Angel, he will reject us. There is no way we will survive rejection. We are too weak now with this much wolfsbane. I can hardly feel my tail! He can’t do this!” Sia whimpered in my mind, her voice weaker than a whisper. She was right, our chances of survival were low, and the Alpha didn’t seem to care
AngelSoon, a tall man with onyx-coloured eyes, as dark as two abysses, entered the place. My wary eyes inspected him cautiously as I tried to find out who and what he was. He looked normal, except for the grey wick of hair in the middle of his otherwise very dark hair. I’d never seen a werewolf with grey hair before – it wasn’t a thing since our kind doesn’t age. Even without being able to smell his scent, something told me that he wasn’t a regular werewolf.My eyes moved around the room as I heard a strangled gasp; it came from one of the tall and sturdy warriors, he was now pressing his back against the wall like a scared child. What the hell? I looked at the other three elite fighters, and they also seemed really affected by the newcomer’s presence, making way for him swiftly and moving their gazes down as if the man was their Alpha. My brows raised in confusion. I didn’t understand anything. I, too, could feel his heavy and odd energy. But this man wasn’t an Alpha. Even weirder t
Angeline“Angeline,” Dora’s voice had me turning around, and I looked at her in my mind. It was different from when I heard or saw her in our shared mind. I was here with her, only a few steps away.
Angeline“If you want, it would make me very happy to lead this pack by your side. You make me a better man, and a better Alpha Angeline,” he said in my mind, sending the tender dash of his love through our bond.
AngelineI buried my face in the column of Grant’s neck, letting his embrace wash me over with comfort. My nerves are strained, and I have been a little fidgety since I woke up. Maybe everything that happened, the battle, the changes and the bond were catching up with me.
GrantI entered the small white room, closing the door behind me. Gina was curled on her bed, the bags under her eyes and the paleness of her face showing how worn-out she was.
GrantWe arrived at our pack late in the night, heading straight to our room, where I got to sleep with my mate in my embrace. I placed a kiss on Angeline’s head, and she snuggled further into my embrace, a blissful smile stretching across her lips.
AngelineGrant’s canines sank on me, and the time stopped. The moon mark on my belly pulsated like a second heart. Soft blue light enveloped me, filling me with calmness, strength, peace and an ounce of guilt. His love for me pulsated like a warm blanket covering my body and tucking at my chest.
GrantAngeline and I proceeded to check the ruined car. Surveying its surroundings, she found a few pieces of torn clothes.“I can’t find my phone, but it’s not that important. I can always count on Dora’s super-reaching mind-link abilities.” She shrugged her shoulders.Fortunately, the two elite guards who escorted us here weren’t dead, only harmed to the extent of unconsciousness. The king’s army transported them to the Royal Pack where they could receive immediate treatment. They would be fine.I hauled another sign of relief. Losing lives lives of my pack was a fucking bane, a burden I would never bear with ease. And I shouldn’t. Their lives matter and always will.After gazing around the half-burnt trees of the empty meadow, Angeline joined me, melting into my embrace.We were finally alone. The King left after Angeline and I told him about Elijah’s first attack and how Alpha Blake played a role in Angeline's kidnap.“I thought he would be royally enraged, we didn't tell him ever
AngelineSia’s death replayed in Cal’s and our shared mine.“Angel, I think this is dark magic! We will die. I love you, and I am so sorry I wasn’t a good enough wolf to you. I am sorry I couldn’t protect you!” her last words were a distant echo, and so was the icy pain spreading through my soul as I wasn’t able to reply to her. She was already gone. I could never tell her that she was enough and I loved her too.I was so empty without my Sia, my soul unable to reach hers.More words ricocheted in my mind, from the moment I first met Dora, but refused to let go of my first wolf. “Sia is gone. She sacrificed herself in an attempt to save you. Her soul shielded yours, and consequently, she took the hardest hit of Elijah’s dark magic.”Sia sacrificed herself for me!“And I will do it as many times as it takes!” Cal growled, lunging on Elijah.“No!” I screamed in my mind, I couldn’t lose my Cal-Sia again. They were the same wolf, even though they seemed like polar opposites, they always d
AngelineI had to spill it out! After taking a long and deep breath, I started, “Grant, I’m not your friend. We can’t be friends—”He interrupted me with a low growl. “Sorry, I couldn’t control the growl. I know I’m imposing Angeline. I have no right over you and I shouldn’t be here when you told me not to. After we talk to the king, I will be out of your life.” He didn’t do a good job concealing the sorrow in his voice.“No!”Grant’s head reared back, forehead creasing at my protest as he threw me a confused look.I slurred, “I mean … that’s not what I want. I can’t be your friend because it’s too little and I want so much more. I want everything. I-it will be hella hard to look at what I can’t have every day, but I want to support you with your pup, be part of it with you. I want us to have-be a family in the way we can. I love you and in the end I can’t even imagine a life without you. It might be complicated and hard. You probably don’t want that and I’m just here rambling like an
