Elsie's POV Perched on the side of Gracie's bed, I tucked the covers up to her neck, making sure she was snuggled in for the night. After her chaotic day in the forest today, being cornered by the rogue wolf, she looked exhausted. No doubt she will sleep well tonight. I hoped her dreams were delightful, and her mind didn't replay awful memories of the day to give her nightmares. "You're safe now Gracie," I smiled, running my fingers over her cheek "Sleep tight," I was about to lift myself off the bed, when Gracie held my arm "Can you stay a bit longer?" she asked, her blue eyes so innocent as she gazed up at me "I'm scared on my own," My heart ached for the little sweetheart, she had been spooked and I imagine that was her first encounter with an actual violent and cruel wolf. She would have only known the kind wolves from her Pack. Her Father and Uncles would have played with her in their wolf forms I imagine, and it may have given Gracie the idea that all wolves were gentle
Oris's POV I cleared my throat, trying to calm my nerves. It wasn't often I asked a girl out on a date, not really being a regular on the dating scene, it was all so foreign to me. "Oris," Elsie said, answering the door to my knock "What can I do for you?" Trembling slightly, I felt my throat become tight as I made an attempt to talk "Elsie," I paused "Go for dinner with me tonight?" "Right now?" Elsie asked "But I had to stay here in case Gracie wakes in the night," "Oh," Disappointment fell over me, but I should have known better. Elsie has duties to tend to, that take priority over me of course "These are for you anyway," Handing the flowers to Elsie, she took them and buried her nose into the petals as she took a gentle inhale "Oris, Roses are my favourite! Thank you!" The smile on her face was worth giving her the flowers, regardless. "You're welcome," I said "I hope you have a good evening Elsie," I turned to walk away, but I felt pressure on my arm as Elsie grabb
Elsie's POV It was an awkward car ride home with Oris. He gave me the silent treatment and you could cut the tension with a knife between us. I felt confused over his reaction to how I had approached tonight at the dinner table. The previous time I had been with Oris, he was so wild and dominating. He had revealed an animalistic side to him that I hadn't realised was there, obviously it lay dormant until he felt ready to unleash it. So, I too had acted upon my own urges and allowed them to take over, resulting in me pleasuring Oris in a very public area. Obviously I had crossed a boundary there, and I couldn't help but feel confused about what Oris wanted. But I also ruined what should have been our first date. After Oris brought me such a beautiful bunch of roses, I had to resort to my animalistic nature and halt the evening. Leaving the taxi which brought us home, Oris walked steps ahead of me. I felt spots of rain falling onto my uncovered arms as I headed toward the house
Elsie's POV 'I feel so deceived,' I grunted to my wolf 'What kind of fucking idiot does that to a person?' I watched Ashe pace up and down in my mind, her paws heavy as they landed with a thump on the ground as she walked. Her lips curled up to bear her teeth 'How dare he take advantage of you like this' she growled lowly, the sound rumbled inside my mind 'I don't care if he's an Alpha, I want to knock his puny head off his shoulders' I knew I should attempt to calm my emotions, the last thing I needed was Ashe becoming so angry she did something we would both regret. Taking a deep breath, I used what little calm I had left inside me to push Ashe to the back of my mind. 'NO!' Ashe barked 'Elsie, I'm tired of you pushing me aside when things get heated' her voice firm 'We need to stand out ground with that man, he cant take advantage like that' I knew Ashe was right, Kai had crossed a line but I couldn't let either of our emotions get the better of us, we weren't feral I
Rory's POV It was interesting to me, surveying these rogue wolves and watching how they formed an alliance to attack Elsie. The little bitch deserved it. I hunkered down behind a tree, keeping myself hidden between the leaves as I found the perfect spot to witness Elsie's demise. I watched with delight at her feeble attempt at fighting the wolves off, she was outnumbered and it wasn't a fair fight, but Elsie didn't deserve fair. The wolves ripped into her flesh, beating her to the ground until her body couldn't take any more. They tore chunks of her pretty red fur from her skin, biting down into her flesh and removing patches of meat as they fed on her. I caught the scent of Elsie's blood in the air, the smell of her suffering and death was such a delight to my nostrils. Almost to the point where I desired to shift into my wolf form and have a taste for myself. I imagined her blood would taste sweet, and her flesh would melt into my mouth. I found my mouth salivating at t
Theo's POV Bashing the controller in my grip, I felt the fury rise within me as I still couldn't beat this damn boss. Nothing frustrated me more than this game right now. After failing another time, the game once again got the better of me. I launched the controller across the room and sunk back into the sofa. I needed something to distract me and calm my anger, there was no excuse to get furious over a video game. If it wasn't so late I would go see Gracie and play games with her, but by now Elsie would have put her to bed, she would be fast asleep. I gazed outside at the night sky through my window, watching the silhouette of the trees lightly sway in the wind. At least the rain had stopped. It was then I felt an intense pain stab through my head, into my eyes, and down the side of my face. I yelled out as my stomach felt like it was being torn apart. The image of Elsie flooded my mind, and I knew she was in danger. But why was I feeling this connection with her, I fel
Theo's POV "Okay, plan of action," I said with determination "We use our new heightened senses to find Elsie, it should be easy with our connected bonds," "Yes," Oris said "In my visions I swore I saw trees, she must be in the forest," With a grunt I clenched my jaw. I told her not to go into the forest for a reason, this very reason! It was dangerous. That girl was too fierce for her own good sometimes. Even though I had developed strong feelings for Elsie, her stubbornness would still irritate me, even when she failed to listen or take orders. "Gracie," I said as I realised no one would be at home to take care of my daughter "I can't leave her on her own!" "You go find Elsie," Oris said, stepping forward "Take Kai with you, I'll stay here and make sure Gracie is safe," A gentle smile swept across his lips as he looked at me, he really was the kindest person I knew. The best of all of us. "Thank you Oris," I said with genuine appreciation in my voice, placing my hand on
Rory's POV Trudging through the forest, my eyes focused to the distance, and I saw the separation of the trees as I came close to the forest's edge. "Not long now babygirl," I said calmly to Elsie. Looking down at her, I noticed her eyes had closed, and the weight of her body had relaxed in my grip. She had fallen asleep. As I exhaled, my breath staggered and my eyes dropped to Elsie's exposed breasts. Her nipples had started to harden with the cool night air, the urge to suck upon the protruding flesh was one I had to resist with difficulty. I had to focus on my destination before anyone realised Elsie had disappeared. Through my greed, I couldn't leave myself with nothing, after all I deserved this. Elsie was mine. I repositioned my hand so my fingers could reach Elsie's chest, and I began to massage her breast, my fingers desperate to touch her hardened nipple, roll it between my fingers and gently tug. Leaving Elsie wanting more. "Rory?" Elsie stirred, her eyes gazing
Rory's POV I have become used to the darkness now. After travelling in this box or whatever they contained me in, my wrists seared as they were bound to my front by magic. That was the only explanation for the ability to restrain me. 'I'm sorry I failed you,' Evander crept into my mind 'I had a moment of weakness and I…" 'You did fail me,' I replied with a guttural growl 'Because of you, we're being taken to the Elder's for our punishment. Execution in the highest form,' 'You could be wrong,' Evander said trying to sound cheery 'The Elders may be easy on us,' 'Fool' I replied 'You absolute moron, we will die without a doubt,' 'I accept the blame, I'm not good enough to be your wolf Rory,' Evander's voice sounded fragile. 'You're pathetic, leave me be in my final moments' I said cruelly 'The last thing I want is you in my mind as I live my last moments,' Evander became silent and I sensed him slink back into the depths of my mind. I didn't want to talk to the imbecile
Elsie's POV "I feel quite nervous," I shifted on my feet as I stood by the doorway to the home of Theo, Kai and Oris' Mother "You kind of threw me in the deep end here," "It will be fine," Theo said as he squeezed my hand "You were bound to meet our Mother one day, why not today?" As I looked back at the car, Kai and Oris sat inside and with a grin, Kai held two thumbs up. I snapped my eyes back to Theo "But I'm covered in someone else's blood, and I stink of dog," Theo chuckled "You need to relax Elsie," He squeezed my hand again "Mom's going to adore you, as much as I do," I took in a deep breath "Alright, but we say a quick hello, grab Gracie and then leave," I had it all planned out in my head, I would move so quickly that Theo's Mother wouldn't even know I'm there. Perfect. The door opened and there stood a woman, who was the double of Theo. He definitely bore the resemblance of his Mother. She was quite young looking, a mature lady but more youthful than I had ima
Elsie's POV 'We're outnumbered Elsie,' I spoke to her in my mind 'There's so many of them, I fear we can't handle this,' 'Be strong Ashe,' Elsie replied 'Perhaps our mates will fight by our side,' I took my eyes off the Pack of wolves before me and shifted my gaze to the doorway in which the Alpha brothers were standing. They still congregated around there, but they seemed reluctant to come to my side. 'Brutus,' I reached out to the wolf 'What shall I do? I cant take all of these wolves on by myself,' I felt weak asking them for help, but even I knew my limits. 'Don't worry,' Brutus responded calmly 'It's not what it seems,' Blinking, I took my eyes back to the wolf Pack. They had shifted back into their human forms, and one had stood forward. "Little red wolf," He spoke, and I recognised him as Rory's Beta "Don't be afraid, we aren't here to hurt you. We're here to support you, Rory must suffer for his crimes," 'What the fuck?' I heard Evander growl in my mind 'The l
Evander's POV 'Shit,' I husked addressing Rory in my mind 'We're surrounded, I can't take them all on,' My body felt weak, perhaps Elsie was right after all. The serum was taking its toll on my body, but I knew I had enough fight in me to end this once and for all. 'Find it in yourself to kill the pathetic bitch,' Rory said in response, I heard the anger in his voice 'Once this is over, we will have everything we wanted,' 'But what if we lose Rory, then what?' I asked fearfully 'Do we perish as cowards? Weakened by our own greed?' 'Don't be so dramatic,' Rory said coldly 'We aren't weak, not as weak as Elsie. We will always overpower her, we know her weaknesses,' A growl simmered in my throat as I studied the red wolf before me. She was breathtakingly beautiful, her green eyes shimmered as her teeth snarled at me. I could sense her power and it scared me. 'She has grown,' I said, returning the snarl to Ashe 'Elsie and her wolf are different beings now, I can sense their
Elsie's POV I had underestimated Rory it seemed. I felt myself drawing close to death as Rory pounded his fist into me, each strike worsening my vision as things became a blur, the darkness enveloping me. It didn't even hurt anymore, my entire body burned with so much pain, I didnt know which part of the pain to focus on. Reaching out to my mates, I caught their words ever so low in my mind. I made an attempt to respond, but I could barely focus my thoughts. 'Hold on Elsie, my darling. We're coming to get you. Please be strong, I want you to be brave for me. I love you,' Theo's message struck a chord with me, hearing such powerful affection from him, and knowing how he wanted me to fight back awoke something within me. 'Theo?' I asked 'I love you too,' Saying these words, I could feel energy return to me. I thought of my family, their love and support was beginning to restore me back to health. I could feel my insides healing from the damage Rory caused, I was beginning t
Theo's POV "She's not in her room, or Gracie's," Oris said as he rushed back down to the dining room "I checked all the rooms upstairs, even ours," It wasn't often I saw Oris in this state, whenever he was upset he remained calm and silent. But his usual internal stress was showing now "Has anyone tried calling her phone?" My eyes shifted to the doorway as Kai hurried in after Oris "Elsie isn't in the garden I can't even catch her fresh scent, I don't think she's been here for a while. I tried calling her phone, but I think it's switched off," "Well, that answers that question," Oris said, appearing to have calmed down slightly. "Shit," I grunted "Elsie is being a hero again isn't she. I had hoped she would have listened to me this time. The girl is far too stubborn," Oris frowned "Well we did kind of treat her like a child again," I knew he words were mainly aimed toward me "No Oris, we are protecting her," "From what?" Kai asked, his voice firm as he stepped forward "
Rory's POV Alone in my office, I caught a familiar scent in the air, stronger than usual. Stepping over the corpse at my feet, I made my way over to the doorway. 'What do you think?' Evander asked 'Do you think it's her?' 'Oh it's definitely her,' I chuckled 'Beautiful, little delicious Elsie has come to visit us' 'She's making my mouth water,' Evander replied 'I want to taste her,' 'You and me both,' I replied with a feral grunt 'That sexy little bitch won't be leaving this time,' Leaving the study, I followed the delicious scent of Elsie as she infected my nose. Her scent was incredibly powerful, I could imagine her body wrapped around me as I inhaled her delicate smell. "Where are you babygirl?" I asked softly as I stalked down the hallway, following the trail "I can smell you, my delicious little treat," There was no sound as I walked down the darkened hallway, and it was then I noticed the door to the lab open "Are you hiding in my secret place, you naughty girl,
Elsie's POV 'Do you really think we should be doing this?' Ashe asked me as I slinked into the woods, choosing my familiar route. 'Yes Ashe,' I replied 'I'm tired of being wrapped in cotton wool and having to constantly prove myself to Theo,' I scanned the area for any rogue wolves, no one was about 'Now quit lecturing me and help me with this, one final push and Rory is finished' It was then I shifted into my wolf, she shook her red fur, landing on all fours as she found her bearings. I ran through the woods on the trail we used so often 'Straight to the Autumn Pack' I spoke to the human form inside me. 'Yes,' Elsie replied 'As quick as we can,' With these words, I felt the power rush through me, more than ever. My running speed had doubled and my legs felt strong. 'This is the first time I've been able to experience the power,' I said happily 'It's a rush! I can see why you like it,' I heard Elsie chuckle in my mind 'Not so bad of a decision now, hey?' As we reach
Rory's POV "Alright, here's the deal," I said as I began to pace up and down the room, all eyes on me as my Pack members hung onto my every word. "I know it's been a while since I called a meeting, but things here have been…" I paused with a smirk "...hectic," I held a vial of serum between my fingers to my Pack "This is the future, the serum in this small vial changes me for the better," dipping my finger into the top, I allowed a small blob of the thick liquid to cling against my finger. Bringing it to my lips, I pushed my finger into my mouth and consumed the serum "I will be the best Alpha I can be for you," I husked as I felt the small amount of Serum begin to subtly change me. "What is it?" One of the Omega's asking, his eyes on the vial, as though he wanted a taste of his own. I pulled the vial to my chest "It is a concoction made just for me, to enhance my body and senses. It makes me the most powerful I could ever be, strong and agile. I'm basically a God with the
