Edeline

"Let’s go!" he shouted.

This time, I wasn’t going down without a fight. Not even once.

I hung back, waiting for Alexa to make the first move, watching her every twitch. We circled each other like predators, each waiting for the other to slip up.

I saw it—a small tell. Her left arm tensed, and I knew she was about to swing. I dodged just in time, her fist slicing through the air where my head had been. Her right leg shifted, and I caught her foot as it flew towards me. Using my strength, I twisted her leg, sending her spinning onto her stomach with a solid thud.

I jumped on top of her as the crowd erupted into cheers, urging Alexa to get back up and take me down.

Alexa threw a punch, her fist slamming right into my jaw. Pain shot through my face, but before I could react, her other fist was already coming down. I caught it just in time, and our eyes locked in a heated glare. My knuckles tingled as I clenched my fist tight, then I swung hard, aiming for her nose. The impact was

    Edeline And for a second, despite the pain, I believed him.Because he said nice things about me, I felt my face get hot. Slowly, a blush crept onto the apples of my cheeks. I cleared my throat and forced myself to look away from him. Sometimes, I caught myself stealing glances at him. He looked good. I would say it out loud, even if it made me feel a bit silly. I sometimes had thoughts about him, but I would never do anything about them.“So, where are we going tomorrow night for this… celebration?” I asked, trying to keep my tone casual.His arms were so big that I felt small in comparison. They were almost as wide as my hip. I could feel his strong body pressing against me, and that nice smell of him wrapped around me like a warm blanket. I could not help but bite my lip, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.My wolf was upset, sensing the tension in the air.I had to whisper the last part to stop myself from laughing. “We are going out for drinks.

    Edeline I had to press my lips together to stop a laugh from escaping. Gage, clearly rattled, quickly scurried from behind the desk and led us to a small room with a black curtain for a door. I followed, glancing around as Conor’s hand settled firmly at the small of my back.The room was dimly lit, with blood-red walls that held all kinds of art—some beautiful, some... unsettling. In the center was a black leather chair that reclined, a metal tray perched beside it. The setup reminded me a little of a dentist's office, but somehow, much more ominous.As I stared at the chair, my heart started to pound. Hard. I felt my pulse in my ears as Gage gestured toward the chair with a smirk that didn’t help. "Have a seat."Everything felt a little too real at that moment. My chest tightened, breath quickening. Just as I hesitated, I felt Conor’s large, warm hand brush my lower back. The heat from his body settled over me like a blanket."It’s okay," his voice rumbled softly in my ear. "It won’

    Edeline He chuckled, shaking his head. "It’s nothing. You earned it. It’s all you," he said, his voice light, teasing again. Then he turned toward the door and called out loudly, "Gage! She’s ready!"His deep, booming voice echoed through the room, making me flinch a little. Gage was back in an instant, his mood much lighter than before. He grabbed a chair, sitting beside me, and began pulling out a fresh package of needles.Wait. Silver?Of course. There was no other way to properly mark a wolf.A wave of anticipation washed over me, nerves tightening my chest. I squeezed my eyes shut and exhaled slowly, trying to brace myself. I felt Conor’s large hand press firmly into mine, grounding me, keeping me steady. As the motor of the tattoo gun hummed to life, I placed my free hand on Conor’s back, needing the connection.The moment the silver needle touched my skin, the pain flared—sharp, searing, like my skin was on fire. The ink, infused with silver, burned like acid as it sank into t

    Edeline His words only fueled my wolf’s anger. I felt the truth of what I was saying as I locked eyes with him. "I can do it. I know I can. I just need to train more. All day, every day, with no breaks. I want to do this." The sudden surge of desire from my wolf made me realize I needed this—it was our shared dream. What better way to bring my fur and skin sides together than through this? He stared at me, eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost. "Okay then... We will start after tomorrow."My heart raced, and I raised an eyebrow, a slow smile spreading across my lips. "You’re something else, Edeline," he said, his voice low and rough, but filled with admiration. It was a compliment that made my cheeks heat up.With a sense of accomplishment blooming within me, I felt clarity for the first time. I knew what I wanted to do with my life after this. My muscles relaxed, and the tension eased.I wouldn't let this mate mark define who I was. I could be myself, even without my partner. I didn

    Edeline Looking into his eyes, I asked softly, "Do you miss her? Do you worry about her? Do you still love her?" The pain in my voice was palpable, and I felt my heart ache when a tear slipped from his eye. Conor didn’t cry.He wiped his angry cheek with his hand and whispered, "Yes.""Everyone cries, Conor. There’s no reason to feel bad about it. I would be worried if you didn’t still love her," I said with a sad sigh, gently touching his arm.I leaned in closer, stroking his arm. "Maybe you should call her."He halted my hand by placing his on my wrist. The raw pain in his dark eyes was striking. He leaned over the edge of the bed, facing away from me. "She doesn’t want me to," he said, his shoulders slumping in resignation."Would you ever take her back? As your daughter?""Yes..." he replied, his head hanging low. "I'm ashamed of how I treated her... my princess. Your dad was able to look past everything and still accept your brother as his, but my pride got in the way of what tr

    Edeline I had to swallow hard to push back the pain from my tattoo.My mind ached now.I told him word for word what Mirabelle had shared.When I mentioned Tatiana, the worry in his eyes intensified."He did what?" His voice raised, anger radiating off him like heat. He stood there, his rage thick like mist rising from his pores, filling my bedroom. He began to pace back and forth, and his eyes shifted colors, revealing the wolf within."Conor..." As I moved closer, he stopped, his hands clenched tightly, ready to hit something—or someone.Despite the pain coursing through me, I wanted to soothe him. I reached out, lightly touching his arm. His eyes followed my movement."Be calm. If you want, we can talk about what to do."I gently pulled him toward my bed. He finally relented, flopping onto the ground, his head in his hands. His muscles were tense."I can’t let her go through that, no matter how badly I messed up with her. I can’t let her or any wolf endure that. Why would someo

    Edeline “I am sorry. I did not mean to,” he said, his eyes closed as if he were bracing for rejection.“That is fine,” I managed to say, my voice trembling. “We were both in the moment. It is okay.” I cleared my throat, trying to ease the awkward tension that hung between us. “Let’s forget about this. I am a female mate.”I did what I could to lighten the mood, hoping to ease the strange feelings bubbling up between us. But as I looked at him, I could see the guilt in his eyes. He looked away, unable to meet my gaze, and I felt a pang of sadness for him. “I am really sorry.” His voice was filled with regret. “The memories just made me think.”I let out a choked laugh and replied, “It is okay. Really. Just go get your kid, Conor. Save her. She is in a cabin on the north side of the land, close to the border and a mile from Pack. You will not even need help. It has a silver lock. Get her out. Bring tools and help.”As he calmed down, I spoke firmly, wanting him to understand the urge

    PercivalWith a loud roar, I take off running toward him at full speed. He chuckles heartily, settling in comfortably, all set for me. But this time, instead of just making him stumble like I did when he first arrived, I make him fly.I crash into him hard, knocking him down and catching him by surprise. I start throwing punches, giving it my all, but he manages to block and dodge the first couple. He catches a couple of my hits right in the jaw, but then he kicks me in the gut, and I end up sliding across the wet grass on my butt. I want to let loose on him, but I do my best to hold back. My veins stick out in my neck from all this pulsing rage.I know he is lying because I would have totally felt it if she had been with someone else. Still, that does not mean I enjoy hearing it.I shoot him a glare and jump up, moving in fast while he just stands there, looking at me with one eyebrow raised.His experience makes him a tough trainer, much more capable than I am.

    Percival Edeline’s eyes were locked on me as she marched over, grabbing my forearm and pulling me along with her. The contact felt like fire igniting on my skin. She was fired up—angry, for sure.She dragged me into the equipment shed, out of sight, and then—wham!—she whacked me right in the eye.I let out a low growl and slowly turned my face back to hers. Anger radiated off her as she raised her other hand, ready to swing at me again. I managed to grab her wrist before she could land another hit, squeezing gently around her slim wrist. “What the heck, Edeline?!” I exclaimed, my lip curling to reveal my fang. Low warning growls rumbled from my chest. The wolf inside me was not thrilled, but at least she appreciated that this wasn’t happening in front of the pack. Don’t mess with my authority.“Hey! Did you give that girl false hope or what? I know you have not hooked up with her because I would have sensed it!” Her nose wrinkled, eyes blazing with fury. Then, I caught a scent from

    Percival Promoting her to lead female warrior might not have been the best decision after all. She was my top fighter, having trained hard before I stepped in, but now I was left questioning my judgment. We didn’t have an expert on board yet, and Jazz’s ambition made me wary.She tucked a loose, curly strand behind her ear, looking up at me with her big green eyes, her skin a lovely shade of creamed coffee. She was undeniably pretty, but just not my type. “Hey, Percival... what if we tried something different with the ladies?” She edged closer, taking a deep breath as if to check out my scent.It might sound wild, but the night before last, after showering and snuggling up in bed with Edeline, I had rubbed against her, soaking in her scent. Waking up without her made me skip a shower yesterday—or maybe even today. I just wanted to hold onto that connection a little longer. Jazz caught a whiff of Edeline’s scent, and her eyebrows shot up.“Hey, is Edeline back?” she asked, her voice

    Edeline“I totally get it, Nixx. It is something else. Really special. I see what you mean.” My gaze drifted to his cuffs, curiosity piquing as I furrowed my brow. “Have you been a bit risky? What does your world do to people?” I tilted my head, observing the way he passed the bracelet back to me, unable to take his eyes off it.“My wolf is stronger, you know? Sometimes I just cannot control him and end up lashing out at people who get on my nerves. Percival dealt with the same stuff. He wants to help me train like Gaspar did for him, but all I can think about is Tatiana and the pup I lost. It is tough.” A wave of sadness washed over him, dimming the light in his eyes.“Nixx,” I sighed, “why are you still hung up on losing the pup? Mirabelle was only a few months along, right? You never even met him, and you can have pups with your real mate. You could not have had both. Tatiana would have been jealous of you and him. Trust me, I get it. Tatiana is a beta, and her wolf would have want

    EdelineHe really needed his not-so-little sister. I would hit him up first, and then maybe I would finally have the guts to talk to Percival about everything. After some tough training, of course. It had been a few days since I had a solid training session. Muscle disappears faster than it builds up, and I really hoped that did not happen. If I wanted to keep being the warrior I had turned into, I had to stay on top of my stamina. But I was not sure my buddy would let me train, especially since my heat was just around the corner, and my scent was driving everyone wild. I had to remember to grab my tea after I hopped out of the shower. As I walked in the front door of my parents’ place, the cozy scent of clove hit me, pulling me back into sweet memories. I could not help but think about what might happen during this heat. The last one just did not do it for me. Did I even want him to help me out this time? Or would I just prefer to be out of it for that? I figured the latter was

    EdelineI stared down at our hands, chewing on his words. He might have a point. When I left and went to Conrad’s place, I told myself I was moving on. I threw myself into letting it all go—this life, these people, everything. But once I got some space, the wolves around me nudged me toward the truth. They made me confront my feelings about Percival, especially after I caught myself feeling jealous over him. He was just my friend, nothing more, but still... I had to deal with that. But Darius? I buried that pain deep and left it to rot. Never talked about him, never thought about him for too long. I got stronger, yeah. But I didn’t heal. Not really. And that’s why I’m still stuck. I turned my head toward William, blinking back the sting in my eyes. “How am I supposed to feel about him?” My voice cracked, and I felt my throat tighten again. “Look at what he did.” I swallowed hard, trying to keep it together, but the words dragged me down, making my chest feel heavy. “How am I s

    EdelineI never really hated Percival before that. He had done some stuff, sure—but it never made me hate him. Not until that night. That night, I hated him more than anything. My wolf hated him too. My skin side—yeah, she wanted revenge just as bad. But then the truth hit me. Darius was the monster. Not Percival. I spent all of yesterday lying around, trying to make sense of everything. Today, I thought maybe a walk would help me clear my head, so I came here. To the waterfall—the spot I loved the most. And now, here I am. Staring at his grave. Why here? Why did they bury him here of all places? Not in the pack’s graveyard, where the rest of them are. No—right here, beneath the tree that used to be ours. Our spot. My throat tightened, and the tears started before I could stop them. My heart felt like someone had tied a rope around it and was pulling it tighter and tighter. I reached out, tracing his name on the headstone with shaky fingers, as if touching the letters wo

    PercivalI hoped I didn’t annoy her. I understood she was strong, but my Alpha side just wanted to look out for my mate. I was trying to communicate my feelings through the mate bond, to reassure her I was here for her.The corner of her mouth lifted in a quick smile. "It's all good."Shaking my head, I did what I felt compelled to do. I walked over, scooping her up in my arms. She gasped in surprise as I carried her across the room to the salvaged bed. Her eyes widened, taking in the effort I had made to clean up for her."I’ll grab you something to wear. Your clothes are wrecked." I stifled a laugh as I laid her down on the bed. I missed the feel of her skin against mine, even from that brief moment before I had to let her go to find her a t-shirt and some clean boxers.I had both boxers and boxer briefs, but lately, I definitely preferred the briefs. Guess it was just part of growing up!As I returned to her, Edeline’s gaze was fixed on my bare torso. She looked up at me with that

    EdelineI would not run anymore.“Hey, let me wash your back, my little warrior.” His breath brushed against my warm skin, and a rush of desire coursed through me as his deep voice stirred something inside. My breath caught in my throat as I locked eyes with him.“I got this.” I really could not let him get close. It would only make the cramps worse, and the desire was already doing a number on me.He nodded, totally understanding what I was thinking through our connection.As he stood up, I could not help but let my eyes wander over him, pausing at his chiseled abs and then down to his pelvis. Right there in the middle was a thick, four-inch tattoo of an infinity symbol.Mated wolves have this thing where they let anyone who catches a glimpse of their skin below the waist know they have a mate. This tattoo meant a lot. A lump formed in my throat as my eyes began to water. How long had he been dealing with this?It was like he could read my mind—probably because he could. He looked

    EdelineHis eyes were no longer filled with wonder; they carried pain and knowledge. Yet, despite it all, those piercing blue eyes had remained the same, shining even brighter against his sun-kissed skin. His hair was longer on top and shorter on the sides, giving him a more polished look.He looked even more handsome now, completely in charge of himself. The way he moved, the way he held himself—it all made me wonder about the changes in him and what had shaped him during our time apart.“You hungry?” His deep voice pulled me back to reality, his eyes locking onto mine.I was still feeling shy, and I wondered why that was.“I’m fine,” I whispered, trying to keep my voice steady.He nodded and made his way to the door. “I’ll give you some space. I can tell you’re not really feeling it with me around. Just hit me up when you’re ready, and I’ll help you get to bed since you’re not feeling great.” He flashed a sad smile and reached for the doorknob.My heart raced a bit. I really did not
