Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 65: Mine forever
“Art, you are the leader here, yes?” I ask, my eyes continually scanning the pack in awe. I just can’t believe how put together this camp is, how kind everyone is and how fed they look.“Yes, in a sense. We don’t just have one leader.”“Were you an Alpha?” Jade asks, looking over his stature. Art isn’t big like Tank and Sebastian, but he is a little larger than most of the rogues greeting him.“No, my original position was a beta,” he says simply. “I disagreed with my Alpha, so I left.”I can hear the pain in his voice for the past and his actions. He clearly has a story, I’m sure all of us do, but his is one that is seemingly filled with pain, a pain he doesn’t seem to be keen on sharing.“This is the one for you two.” He points to a knotted rope ladder before us. “I will allow you two to clean up and get settled. I’ll send someone for you at dinnertime so we can discuss things in more detail.” And just like that, he traveled on with the rest of the group. Avi looked over his shoulder
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 66: Forming plans
~Sebastian~I watch wren slip into a pair of pants, the fabric sliding over the very skin I just claimed as my own. The sensual movements of her tiny bounce as she wiggles them over the crux of her hips have me aching to reach over and make her mine again. She freezes and her eyes fly to mine, wide with shock as I bite my lip, trying to hold back my laugh. Her angelic cheeks flush red in embarrassment and I saunter over to her, taking her face in my hands and crashing my lips to hers, growling against them as she clings to me like I’m her lifeline. This feeling will never get old and the look of embarrassment when I shared my dirty thoughts with her through our new mate bond is a look I will hold on to until the day I die.“You will be the death of me,” she mumbles against my lips, breaking away with a pant. “We have to go back down. We are already late.”I frown at her. “Birdie, they didn’t give us a time, how could we possibly be late?”She wraps her arms around my neck and stares
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 67: Regret?
My legs hang off the edge of the old run-down mattress Wren and I are sleeping on. My mind is stuck worrying about Tank and his journey. I hate that I’m not there with him. I can only imagine that Kaïs will try to deny it, or worse. Maybe he will try to fight his way out. I rub at the ache in my chest, thinking about an enemy being so close to people I care about. This is the first time I’ve had a still moment in my head to think about everything that has happened in the last twenty-four hours. Truth be told, I have been trying to avoid these thoughts. Thoughts that make me feel worse about the life I led and leaving my brother who I have spent my life protecting, even without knowing he was my own blood to protect.“Fuck,” I mutter, scrubbing my hand over my face. The bed dips behind me and with a shift of the air, warm hands wrap around my abdomen and Wren’s face tucks into my neck with a warm breath tickling over my skin. “You’re worried.” She mutters sleepily. My hands find her
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 68: Home again
~Wren~“He ok?” Avi asks huffing next to me.I sigh heavily as I stare at Sebastian’s back. We have traveled in silence since leaving the rogue campsite. Sebastian only occasionally glances back to see if I am still close by. I can’t help but feel like he is already starting to resent me and regret his choice to finally make me. My hand flies to the mark on my next, stroking over the pink scar.“As ok as one can be with the current situation,”“He and Tank seemed pretty close. Like, ‘you and me’ close.” Avi continues. He knew the topic was already annoying me, but as a typical annoying brother-like friend can be–he presses on. Dancing around my building anger like an idiot with a death wish.“Yes, Avi. Nickolai was his whole life and Tank was the person who sat with him through it all.” My tone sounds flat to my own ears, but Avi ignores my attitude and smirks at me. “He seems like a pretty chill guy,” Avi says, now trying to change the topic. Yay for me. I roll my eyes. “Sebastian
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 69: Ignite the Night
A light clicks on behind me and I spin, ready to protect myself. My eyes go wide when they land on a male figure leaning on a cane and grinning so widely I nearly fall over. His features are smooth and kind, where his cheeks used to be sunk and shadowed are now plump round cheeks with dimples popping on the right side of his face. My chest cracks in half, and I drop to the ground, clinging to my chest. The relief is too much. As I rest on my hands and knees, tears springing from my eyes and breaths escaping in shuddering noises. He is on me in a second, cupping my face and making me look into his eyes. The eyes that match mine finally have light back in them and a sob rips from my lips as he tugs me into the best bear hug I have ever felt. “Dad” The words croak from me and his shoulders rise and fall like he is crying with me. “Wren…” a soft, tentative voice calls to me and my eyes search through the group of people standing toward the back wall. She steps forward and my heart onc
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 70: Havoc
~Sebastian~Wren knows not to twist out of my arms and I’m thanking my lucky stars that we mated because if we were still at odds, she would throw a fit. All around us people are running out of buildings, screaming as they pound on neighbors’ doors, trying to find shelter. Things went to shit way too quickly. And yeah, us being discovered is most likely my fault, but the second her panic hit the link, I lost all common sense and I was climbing the wall with everyone watching me in shock. “Turn right,” Wren instructs, taking me down a road leading away from the city buildings and brick homes. “Go behind that house.”She points to a small tan house covered in weeds and I move my way around the back. A tiny porch light casts a shadow for us to crouch in for cover. I let her down, and she huddles toward the shadow, reaching out for me to come closer to her. “Are you ok?” she asks as her fingers roam my face and ears. Her hands freeze when she feels the crusty dried blood from the explos
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 71: Look at me, baby
“Looks like you were wrong about her real mate, Spence. You owe me your mate for a week.” “Hah. If I had one, maybe,” Spencer shrugs. “I’ll take your plaything, then.” He grins. The two of them joke as if their pack isn’t under attack like they have all the time in the world to waste. “Definitely thought they were putting on an act with the whole mate thing the first time,” Waylon says with a shrug. Wren squeezes onto me tight, trying to wiggle out from behind me, but I’m rooted in place and she isn’t wiggling free. Spencer clucks his tongue, sauntering around us to get a better view of Wren. He grins deviously before looking up at Alden. “You think Orion would come out of hiding if I fucked his daughter in the streets?” Spencer asks Alden. Alden laughs and shakes his head. “Nah, but he might come for her if it’s me.” “Every part of you that lays a hand on her will be ripped from your body,” I say calmly. Alden levels his eyes at me, assessing the threat and my ability to fol
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 72: A monster for my love
~Wren~ There comes a point in your brain where the pain is too much and it stops registering the trauma. As I stare down at the fingers sinking deeper and deeper into my bleeding flesh, I realize I have hit that point. I can feel his fingers pressing further in, a strange pressure that doesn’t hurt but feels–wrong. I’m mesmerized by the way my blood pools around his skin, glistening in the artificial lights illuminating the open space. Sebastian batters at the mate bond, trying to make me talk to him, look at him in my last moments of life. I want to reach out to him, let him in my mind, but I can’t find the will to do it. The small conversation I was able to have brought me so much comfort, yet I could feel his distress, his breaking heart, and it is too much for me to bear. My eyes slide closed, my head bobbing up and down. The warrior on my right-hand side is dry heaving and I want to chuckle, but any movement at this point is beyond my control, as everything wants to shut down.

Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 89: Epilogue final
“Leo,” I breathe. “Where are–”“Addy and Grandma are safe. I can’t leave you, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad, but I can’t let anyone hurt you, Mom.” I’m sobbing as I want to reach out and try to grab and shelter my poor sweet boy who has grown into such a sweet little man. At freshly twelve he has been training for the past two years so he can be strong enough to protect himself. We should have known he was doing it to protect us. One day, he will make the best alpha of this pack.A lanky man steps into the doorway and Leo shifts his weight to his back foot, preparing for battle. My heart is in my throat as I watch the man lunge with a growl toward my son. I fell off the bed, trying to protect him. Leo is so graceful in his movements as he glides out of the way and drags a dagger along the man’s back. As long as the man doesn’t shift into a wolf, Leo might be able to hold his own. His cut isn’t deep, but it’s a strike that makes the man bleed. He growls in annoyance and then chuckles as he
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 88: Epilogue one
*** THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER***~Wren~“You really should sit down,” Jade says, following me as I pace the carpet, my dress flowing around behind me. Seb has been gone for three days, and those three days have been atrocious. He is further than the mate bond can extend, so my mind has been hollow and lonely. It also doesn’t help that my hormones are raging and my mate is fighting in a battle on the other side of Nickolai’s pack.“No” I shake my head. “No,” I repeat, more sternly, tears welling in my eyes. I groan in frustration at the stupid tears that seem to come unbidden all the damn time lately. “Luna, you will walk yourself into labor before Alpha can get his ass back here,” Jade says, rubbing my back and giving me a sympathetic look.I want to slap the sympathy off her face. The person who should rub my back is my mate. He should be here next to me as I try to make this baby come. But no. He has to be a hands-on alpha and lead his troops himself. I used to think it was sex
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 87: New warriors and a Beta
The musty, cool air of the dungeons clings to me as we come up to the prisoners we captured weeks ago. Half the men are anxiously waiting at the bars while the rest lean on the walls or stare out the bar window. Most of the men are on the younger side, a few even looking closer to Nickolai’s young age of eighteen. When they notice me coming in with Tank, they all straighten up and glance at each other nervously. These ten men are not the only prisoners we collected that night. In fact, they are only a small portion of the number of warriors we were able to round up. I don’t think killing the others would be wise, but letting them go is not an option, so instead, we house them here providing the essentials to survive without having an entertaining life. “Alpha,” they greet me in unison, as though they have been rehearsing for days. I shoot a look at Tank, who is trying not to laugh. “I hear you all wished to speak with me. Spit it out so I can move along to other important matters.”
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 86: New things coming
~Sebastian~“How is she?” Nickolai asks through the receiver. I pinch the bridge of my nose, remembering Wren’s beautiful speech and the tears that wet her cheeks. There is no way to erase the hurt in her eyes and the ache that she feels so keenly at her father’s death, but she had been perfect, stunning, so perfectly Wren. “As good as can be expected.” I sigh.“Good. I’m sorry I missed it.” I can hear the disappointment in his voice, but we all understand that he has duties to tend to. “When is your ceremony?” I ask him.“Two days.”We sit in silence for a minute, each of us waiting for the other to speak first. I know Nickolai hates I can’t be there for his Alpha ceremony. And it’s not that we don’t want to be there, it’s just that the timing simply doesn’t work for me and Wren. Or anyone in the werewolf community, since there is a war that is resulting in higher death tolls daily. Especially in our allies’ packs lately. “Look, I know you wanted us to be there…”“I get it, Seb.
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 85: Best friends
“Things have been tense for the past few weeks. Your lives have been turned upside down, you have a new Alpha and Luna and we are in a war to defend what we know is right. But today isn’t about any of that. Today, we are all the same. We are a pack mourning our losses and the people we loved.” He looks down at me and I know he wants me to take over. “For as long as I can remember, life in this pack was full of tension and fear. It always felt like we were living half a life. The men and women on this memorial fought and died for what they believed in. They fought for their loved ones and for you and me. I’m not sure how many of you remember my dad, who he was, and what happened to him after they took my mother from his side, from me.” My eyes look over at my mother, who is watching me closely. “He died saving me,” I say, taking a deep breath. “Like so many others, he was sick most of my life. Constantly trying to be the only parent and provider while being denied the ability to work
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 84: It's time
~Wren~The marble slabs glitter as the sun beams down as if a beacon on the dead. Highlighting their loss and what it means to us, our pack. I hate that we have two empty slabs. Two enormous gray and shiny hunks of empty rock are ready for the next names to be etched. It’s a sobering reminder that the dead are gone and the living will always follow. How we go and when we go isn’t up to us. Life is fragile and fleeting. All the living can do once the ones we love have left, is keep them alive in our minds and heart. Originally, the entire area was going to be a meadow of wildflowers, something we give back to the earth, and in return, she would bring us beauty to console our aching hearts. But growing such things takes time–time we didn’t really have. So Sebastian and Tank suggested we plant some annual flowers and then next year we will prepare the ground for the wildflowers. Tank even said we should add some benches and stone walkways so people can come and reminisce with the people
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 83: Night Light
~Sebastian~I stand from my desk, checking the clock and groaning when I realize it's two in the morning. It’s been a week since Nickolai left and today is Wren’s fathers memorial. She has done a great job of avoiding the thought by occupying her time with planning and Leo. Today could go one of many ways and I’m going to need as much sleep as I can muster if I have to hold her while she cries. It’s my least favorite feeling in the world, knowing I can’t do anything to ease her pain. But at least this is a pain I can try to comfort. The very thought of her curling into my body as I settle in the bed spurs me to move faster as I hustle out of my office. I make my way up the stairs leading to our room and push the door open, Inhaling deeply. I used to foolishly think the best smell in the world was Wren’s. Now I know it’s our combined scent. The perfect balance of the two of us that is both calming and inviting. I close the door gently behind me, grimacing as the door latches. I move
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 82: Moving on
I give Nickolai a tight hug, clinging to him tightly as he squeezes me back. When I pull away, his hands run down my arms, stopping at my wrist where he looks for a moment and shakes his head. “Does it weird you out?” I ask him, my lips twitching into a soft smile as he flounders with how to respond without hurting my feelings. I know it creeps him out. When he first saw it, it was all he could look at.“It shouldn’t.” He admits, “But It is definitely a little weird.”“Try having it be your hand,” I say with a chuckle.“They couldn’t… like… put it back on or something?” His question isn’t malicious or ill-willed, more of a curiosity. The werewolf's body is strange and amazing with its healing properties, but even healers struggle to keep up with what the body is capable of.“I know in the human world they would have sewn it back on if the cut was clean.” I shrug. “But it was chewed off and after the fight, as I’m sure you remember, my hand wasn’t the only appendage littering the grou
