By the time I reach my old house on the edge of the border I can’t catch my breath. I mind linked my mom on my way here the best I could, with how fast I was running. She told me she would be waiting for me with a blanket. When I get to the pathway and shift, she drapes the blanket over me and rubs my arms. I'd rather not be talking to her about losing my virginity, but my head is a mess, and she's the only one that can help me sort it all out. We walk quietly into the living room which is across the hall from my dad’s office. He starts to get up from his chair but my mom quickly tells him this was a girl thing and to leave us alone. He hesitates but when mom gives him her signature look, he nods his head in understanding and shuts his office doors, leaving us alone. “Sweetie why don’t you go up and get dressed while I make us some coffee. We’ll go out back and you can tell me what happened. I already called the school and told them you’ll be out sick the rest of the day and a
I am in my dad’s office reading and secretly listening while he is in a conference call with the Alpha. The Beta is also on the call but is still in West Virginia. He has been visiting with another pack, discussing the upcoming prom. My dad has to be included in on important calls like this one, since he will be running security. Since we have the largest pack territory in Ohio, we use our prom every year to host the annual mating ball as well. This is a great chance for surrounding packs to get together and allow unmated wolves of age to possibly find their mate. The Alpha’s and Beta's use it as a meeting opportunity and an excuse to drink and have cigars. “Oops!” Mom says sarcastically while walking into the office. She is apparently on her phone with Luna Amara. Colin's mom is getting ready with her phone on speaker while my mom is talking to her. She was explaining that it will just be the two of us shopping tomorrow right as Amara was walking past Alpha Lawrence's office.
It’s been a week since my little rendezvous in the woods and my um, bedroom. I have successfully managed to avoid both Colin and Luke this entire time, which was not easy. My mom and the Luna convinced Alpha Lawrence to tell the principal of our school I would be missing an entire week. He said I needed to help my dad with the Monday trainings for the girls. It wasn’t hard to accomplish because with mom and Amara being best friends and no one second guessing the Alpha, the principal gladly agreed. We just had all of my work sent to my parents' house so I wouldn’t get behind. My dad still doesn’t know what’s going on so he has been working on the Monday trainings with me, so technically we weren’t lying to the Alpha. To be honest, the girls are not great fighters. They just don’t care enough, so this is necessary. Luke and the girls sent me a million text messages asking if I was ok. I hated lying to them but I just needed time to figure things out. I know that Luke will be cru
“Why did you really miss school? Was it because of us, or me? I haven’t been able to sleep or do much of anything this entire week and it’s driving me insane, and what are you wearing? Devon wants to seriously rip every wolf apart on the field right now because they are all staring at you.” “I don’t have a boyfriend so let them look” I duck the jab he throws at my face. If it would have landed my nose would be bleeding for sure. I throw an uppercut catching him off guard and it causes him to stumble back slightly. “Ya, but you have a mate, right?” He successfully lands a cross and as I spit out some blood, he grabs my arms sending the familiar shivers through me. “Ellie, I’m sorry! My emotions have been all over the place since the woods and you haven’t been here to talk it through, please give me a chance to just talk to you, alone.” Genuine concern and sadness is plastered all over his face and it makes me just want to pull him in for a kiss. With the mate bond, we can bo
Logan told everyone at school that he is having a bonfire again this weekend and Amber convinced me to go. She’s bringing multiple jars of her dad’s Apple Pie Moonshine and I know it is going to be so much fun! I have gotten through the rest of the week without any issues. Luke and I like always are back on good terms like nothing happened and Colin and I have given each other space to think about things. Victoria seems to be keeping her distance from him and is starting to accept the breakup which makes things less complicated for me, but I kind of feel bad for her. A little. Saturday has arrived quickly. Waking up in an amazing mood I get out of bed and stretch out. I have been back at the pack house since Monday night and on Saturday’s the cook makes waffles and pancakes with sausage, country fried apples and bacon. Sometimes if we are lucky, she will make biscuits and gravy as well, like today! I let my nose carry me into the dining room and quickly make myself a big pl
“How long have you been there?” “Long enough to hear you sing while you pee.” “You were watching me?!” “It’s not like I haven’t seen you naked.” “Wow, ok, this isn’t weird or embarrassing!” I huff at him and turn back towards the house, but my boot gets stuck on a fallen cornstalk and I trip. Colin is quick and catches me before I fall. “You know, you’re clumsy when you drink. I always end up catching you.” He places me back on my feet while still holding his hand on my lower back. “Well then it’s a good thing you were here to catch me, Mr. Creepy!” I say way too sarcastically. The moonshine is kicking in for sure. “Ellie, I’ve given you space this week to think. I’ve done my own thinking too. It didn’t take long for me. I’ve had my mind made up the minute we started kissing in the woods. I want you and no one else. I will do anything to prove that to you.” “I don’t know Colin; your words sound so amazing but I--” Before I can continue my sentence his lips are pressed against m
The moment I step back into the party Amber and Heather come running at me. “Where have you been girl, flip cup just started!” Amber grabs my wrists and then stares at me like she can see into my soul. She sniffs the air and looks slightly confused. She looks down slowly almost like she figured out who the killer in the movie was before anyone else. “OH, MY GODDESS ELLIE YOUR NECK!!!!!! My hand flings to her mouth and I try to shush her as much as possible. “Wow, should we call you Luna now?” Heather cracks herself up and is holding her stomach from laughing so hard. How does she know it’s from Colin? “That actually sounds amazing Ellie, you, my Luna.” The voice is smooth and laced with affection. Wait, that was Colin’s voice but it wasn’t out loud and from the looks of the girls they didn’t hear it. “We’re mated fully and marked Ellie. We can mind link now remember.” My head snaps around to the entrance of the corn field to see him walking with a huge grin plastered
“Luke, I was going to tell you.” I pull the hoodie back over my neck like that would suddenly reverse the last thirty seconds and he wouldn't have seen it. Obviously, that didn't work. “It’s fine Ellie, you’re his mate anyway right? Who am I to get upset? I’m just your friend with benefits. Well, when it benefits you.” His words are harsh but true and laced with sadness. I can tell his heart is broken. I search his eyes for any sign that we can get past this and all I see is hurt. I try to grab his arm but he moves it away before I can even touch it. “I need to get going, my dad should be coming back sometime tomorrow and we have important meetings all day. Goodnight Elenor I’m happy for you, really.” There is literally nothing I can do or say at this moment so I just watch him leave. Really hoping that tonight isn’t the end of our friendship. I see the girls are about to come to me and I wave them off. “I’ll find you guys in a little while; I just need space.” They know
**** 2 weeks later****I open my eyes as wide as I can. I'm always tired now and it's hard to keep them open. Waking up again in this hell hole makes me whimper. I am not sure how long it's been since the ball but I've been trying to count the sunrises and sunsets the best I can. I think it's around ten days give or take. I frequently pass out from the exhaustion, so I am just not sure anymore.My wrists are in restraints, chained to the brick wall behind me. My ankles as well. Someone comes in every day to soak them in more wolfsbane and silver to keep me from breaking out of them. They also inject me with it to make sure I can't link Colin and my parents or connect with Leia.I'm cold, and although I hate to admit it, I am scared. My only visitors are random omegas. They are nothing like Josie and Samantha. Instead, they are cold and distant. There is only one person who will speak to me, but I dread his visits. It's Shane.He is the one who did this to me. He is slowly trying to bre
“I love you too Luna, forever.” This is the first time he has ever called me Luna out loud and it sounds so amazing! We hug like we haven’t seen each other in years, and he pulls back just enough to kiss me with the most intense kiss I’ve ever received from him.“Ok you two break it up, please, before your company watches you have sex on the front lawn.” It isn’t until Luke interrupts us that we remember there are other people that even existed besides us. We both laugh with our lips still connected before turning around still embraced in a hug.“Sorry about that, I really missed my Luna.” He kisses my neck and I smile with pride.“Luna, huh?” Luke looks sarcastically at both of us.“Soon enough man, she will be.” Colin kisses me again. This time, on my mark, and I tingle under his lips. I take the flowers from his hand, smelling them. I moan and he laughs at me.“H-Hello Alpha Colin, it’s nice to see you again. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your pack. I’m excited about my
"May we come in Ellie?" Samantha's voice is soft like she is assuming I am naked; I giggle. "Yes, of course Samantha! I just need to finish getting this super tight thing on me and I'll be ready to go!" Josie finishes zipping me in and I turn around to face my guests. Samantha and Luke have just walked in to take me down to the ceremony as planned. "Look at you Ellie, wow. you are so beautiful." Luke couldn't restrain himself. "Seriously Ellie, you look... I mean you look like a princess!" Samantha is honestly so sweet. It's easy to fall in love with her personality. "Thank you both so much, you look amazing too, both of you!" Luke is in a gray suit with a blue tie and blue shoes, while Samantha is in an A-line long baby blue dress with crystals going around her waist like a belt. They really make such a cute couple. I grab my clutch and link my arm onto Luke's free one. "Wow, how did I get lucky enough to escort two gorgeous girls to the ceremony tonight?" I punch him with my fr
Knowing I can't be alone in the office with him, I go to the kitchen to find Luke. I'm sure that wherever Samantha is, he'll be. Sure enough, there he is, pressing her up against the fridge. His tongue currently down her throat and his hand is up her shirt. She opens one of her eyes, seeing me and she quickly pushes him away and straightens herself out. "I'm so sorry Ellie, I was just about to bring your coffee and breakfast when Luke showed up and.." Her voice trails off and she blushes brightly looking up at Luke. "It's ok Samantha, actually I was here to talk to Luke." He turns around awkwardly, and seeing the bulge in his pants, I am sure that's part of the reason why. He brings his hand up to his neck, rubbing it a few times while he takes his other hand and, well, adjusts himself. "Hey, E-Ellie. What's up?" This just got even more awkward. "Alpha Shane wants me to eat breakfast in his office with him. Alone. I can't do it Luke." I blurt the words out at him. "What
The kiss is deep and passion filled, but there are no sparks or tingles and my body isn't reacting the way it does when Colin kisses or touches me. That bottom lip though. It is big and juicy and my lips are enveloped by them. Then I remember I am not at home. I place my hand on the rock-hard chest in front of me and push it away as fast as I can. My eyes finally adjust as Shane stands in front of my bed and I see that he is currently shirtless, in joggers and apparently, no boxers. His erection is holding his pants up like a circus tent. I dart my eyes back up to his and a smirk spreads across his face. "Playing hard to get, you know, I like that about you. Looking at me all night and then denying me when we get physical. I think it's because you know I'll show you a better time than your little wolf. I can change your entire world beautiful. Just say when." I currently have the covers gripped tightly in my hands. Unable to speak, I turn my head to the side and looked down. H
“Alpha Shane! What are you doing in my room?!” I try to look anywhere but the shirtless, tattooed, beautiful specimen of a wolf in front of me. “I thought I would personally welcome you back into my pack, even if it’s just for the weekend. I see you brought dresses, I’m very interested in seeing them on you, or off. That’s to be decided, by you of course.” He gets off the bed and glides over to me, handing me the rose, kissing the corner of my mouth and walking out, closing the door behind him. UGH! That man! He is so frustrating. Why can’t I keep my composure around him? I swear he’s like a witch or something and puts me in a trance every time I’m near him. I’m with Colin and we are in such a good spot right now, I can’t be the one that messes that up. There is NO way that I’ll be able to take a nap so I text Colin instead. Me: I made it to the pack house. I am in my room, alone.Colin: Good, what time is the dinner again?Me: Not for another hour and forty-five minutes. It
*****Friday morning***** After breakfast I sit on my chair in my room scrolling through social media. We don't have school today because of some teacher thing I can't remember. Colin is with Luke in meetings all day so I told the girls they could take me shopping for my dresses. I have to wear a dress two nights in a row for the welcoming ceremony. It's a Friday and Saturday event. It's very special to my mother, so she insisted I that I dress up. I still don't know how I feel about the whole thing, but the thought of Shane's reaction to me dressing up suddenly turns me on. I close my eyes and lick my lips at the image in my head of him in a suit. "Woah girl, who are you thinking about?" Amber bursts into my room and starts laughing at me. I am so embarrassed and I am almost positive I am as red as a tomato. "Shut up Amber! Ready to go? Where is Heather?" "Ok fine, don't tell me. I know it's either Colin or Shane, so I'll eventually get it out of you!" She winks at me.
I get up and go to my bathroom hoping he will be in there with no luck. My mind starts racing to all the possibilities. I just can't let him break my heart again, not after the morning we just shared and the promises he made. I pace back and forth trying to not panic when my door quietly opens and in walks Colin with a tray of food and flowers on it. Seeing me pace and the look on my face he sets the tray down in a hurry and grabs my face. "What's wrong Ellie?" He is clearly nervous and probably thinks someone has died with how I am acting. "I woke up, you were gone, I thought, I thought that you--." I can't even finish the sentence. He realizes what I was thinking and pulls me in as tightly as he can. "I am not going anywhere Ellie." He steps back but only slightly so that we can see each other. He keeps his grip on my arms. "My heart is yours and yours alone. I want to be the one that makes you smile and the one that wakes up and falls asleep next to you every day. You ar
I reach down and place him inside of me. Colin looks into my eyes while he enters me carefully. Tucking a strand of hair behind my ear while still inside me he kisses the corner of my mouth, and then the other. "You are as beautiful as the Goddess herself. I am so lucky that she blessed me with you, and I am sorry that I didn't see that before." He speaks sweetly, then starts placing soft kisses all over my face. It is really sweet and I can't help the blush that spreads across my face. Without giving me time to answer, his mouth finds mine again and our tongues instantly become entwined, as he brings himself out of me and in again over and over, slowly. This time is different though. There is a passion in his movements that wasn't there the first two times we had sex. I can sense his feelings, but they are all over the place. "He loves us. I can sense it from him and Devon." Leia purrs in my head again. "I love him too Leia." She nods that she agrees. "Colin..." He stop
