Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 76: Good enough
I run my fingers over Sebastian’s bruises and cuts along his chest, down his bulging biceps, watching in wonder as his muscles visibly relax at my touch. I loved doing this when I would sneak into sleep next to him. His deep breaths come out through his nose with a small whistling noise. The big bad warrior snores. The giggle escapes, and then it shifts into a full-blown cackle as I try to control the shaking of my body. Not just because I don’t want to wake him, but it hurts like hell. “Mmm, am I drooling?” he asks, his tawny eyes still hidden behind his closed lids. “Definitely. Practically drowned me.” I tell him. My hand finds a notch in his chest and it lingers, smoothing over it again and again. With my other hand, I reach up to stroke his hair. I pause and stare at the part of me that should be touching him. My fingers should be feeling the sensation of his silky dark hair running through them. Instead, there is nothing. My eyes flutter closed, remembering the sensation. I sw

Sebastian tucks me into his side as we walk toward the front door. The packhouse is quiet, aside from the distant sound of clinking coming down the hallway that leads to the kitchen. I pause for a moment, peeking the length of the wall when the smell of fresh yeasty rolls and cinnamon hits my nose. My mouth suddenly feels wet with drool as I leave the safety of Seb’s side in search of the food. I don’t know how long I have been in my room. Or If I was delirious and don’t remember eating or if Seb ever left my side, but if my stomach is any indication. They have been starving me, and I need to rectify the issue. Seb follows behind me as I find my way through the spacious living room and directly into the open floor plan kitchen that is probably the size of most small homes in this pack. The woman in the kitchen freezes when she sees my look of determination and she looks over my shoulder at what I presume is Seb. In awe, I step up to the counter, lean down over the hot cinnamon rolls

~Wren~ Sebastian hasn’t left my side at all. He watches me when I walk to the bathroom and watches me when I walk back, his eyes looking over me like he hasn’t seen me in years. It’s not that I don’t like his eyes on me, because his eyes do things to me, like rile me up and make me blush thinking about the nights we have spent not sleeping. His looks are not even remotely sexual. It’s the damn concern on this big, usually stoic man’s face that is doing me in. “I’m not going to fall apart because you take your eyes off of me, Seb.” “Last time I let you out of sight–other than when I had to slip out to do Alpha things while you were sleeping–You were being dragged away from me and missing an appendage.” “Right well, we were in an active battle and I stupidly had a much higher opinion of my fighting skills. Consider me humbled and wiser for it.” I give him a soft smile. “I can do my Alpha things from here.” He assures me. I sigh as I saunter over to him and grab the papers from his

“So then what happened?” Mom asks, her eyes gleaming with tears of laughter. “Stupid Avi thought it would be smart to leap from one roof to the other. I mean, the one we were on was supposedly so unsteady,” I roll my eyes and Avi laughs. “Listen here, you little shit! It was wobbling under me!” He protests.“Right, well, you were convinced it was wobbly, so naturally I stupidly followed you and we both jumped to the other roof at the same time.”Avi is wiping tears from his face as he cackles and shakes his head.“And the whole freaking building collapsed.” I finish wheezing through the memory. “Your face was SO priceless.” I slap my leg and look at my mom, making a fake surprised ‘O’ face, trying to mimic the one Avi had made when the story occurred.He gives me a rough shove. “What! It was pretty accurate,” I say, protesting. “Yeah, I’m sure it was, but it’s not as good as your dad’s face when we told him we needed to hide and change our names, because surely the authorities wer

~Sebastian~ It’s a strange feeling going from always striving to go unnoticed to feeling like royalty. It’s not necessarily a bad feeling at the present, but if it doesn’t eventually wane, I’m sure it will grow old. For now, I will have to grow accustomed to the eyes that are always watching us. Thankfully, they aren’t full of anger or malice. Wren squeezes my hand, drawing my attention to her walking at my side. When I look over at her, she gives me a soft, reassuring smile. “It’s a little strange being in the spotlight, isn’t it?” She asks. I practically snort. “Yes, you could say that.” “What’s on your mind?” I drag her beyond the wall that protects our pack and wave and nod to pack members who are working to accommodate the rogues who have flooded into our pack looking for safety. We have more than enough resources and space to accommodate the new refugees, but will they want to stay? And how do I know we can trust all of them? The niggling doubt floats
Last Updated : 2022-05-18Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 81: Wanna have a kid?
~Wren~ “Leo!” I yell out with a big grin on my face. The little boy turns his head to see me and stands, hobbling his little legs toward me with a glorious smile on his face. I jog over to meet him halfway. Poor kid just had the run of his life a couple of hours ago. I try to hide my laugh when I see the chocolate smeared all around his thin lips, giving him the cutest food mustache. “Wren,” He breathes as he slams into my legs, “I see you are eating something sweet?” “How did you know?” His eyes go wide as he looks up at me, his arms still firmly around my thighs, not wanting to let me go. “Hmm, maybe it’s a Luna trick?” I didn’t think his eyes could grow wider than they were, but they do, and I can’t control my laughter anymore. “I’m joking, Leo” His face twists in confusion. “So you aren’t really a luna?” “That part wasn’t a joke. I am the Luna of this pack now.” I move to squat down in front of him and he releases my legs. My hand and arm rest on either side of his wa

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

~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 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
