“So, mate, what do you want to do tonight? I thought we can go somewhere fun together.” Convel rolled his eyes when I called her mate. I know he does not accept her as his mate, but he has no choice. I have made my decision.
‘Hump, we will see how that works out for you.”
I don’t even know how he got through the block that I put up for him, but I pushed him further back in my mind. If he does not want to go along with me, he can stay in a small corner of my mind and leave me alone.“Gladly,” He says. “You may as well get used to me not being there. You made sure that soon I won’t be there, anyway.
“Well, Trevor, I heard the girls in your group talking about going to this jazz club. It is in neutral territory. It sounds like fun and I would really like to go. I think the girls were planning to go, at least that’s what they were saying. It may be good for them to see us togeth
After I left Seleste, I just drove around for hours. I parked and went to my quiet spot in the woods, but it did not have the same calming effect it usually had. I can’t explain it, but ever since I rejected Seleste in this spot, it feels depressing to be here. The moon used to shine the brightest in this spot, but the moonlight has become dull here. I came here for peace, but peace did not find me here. There is so much going on in my head. Convel is mad at me. I snapped at Shana for no real reason. All because she tried to stick up for Seleste. My friends are avoiding me. I don’t know how it got to this point. This is all Seleste’s fault. Why did the moon goddess pair me with her? Why couldn’t she be different? Things would be like this if she was the type of mate that I needed. Then I would not have rejected her. My friends wouldn’t be mad at me and we would all be happy. “Trevor, this is messed up thinking, even for you,” Convel says. “How can you blame mate
My mom just woke me up. I slept for most of the day. Now there are only a couple of hours before the party gets started. I check my phone. I’m surprised that the guys have not tried to call me today. It’s Ben’s birthday. We usually hang out on each other’s birthday. I thought we would have done lunch together or something. Maybe I should call him and see what he is doing.“Hi, Ben, happy birthday. Tell Rose I said happy birthday as well.” I say when he answers the phone.“Thanks, man. Can you believe I’m 18 now?” Ben says excitedly.“So have you discovered your mate yet?”“Actually, I have and it was amazing. It is the best feeling in the world. I cannot describe how happy I am and how much in love I am in such a short time. There is nothing better than being with my mate. She is the most beautiful female in the world.”He talked for a couple of minutes about how wonderfu
It’s the morning of my birthday. This year, it’s a little bittersweet. We are having the big birthday party to celebrate all ten of us born within days of each other. It has been a tradition for us to have a pack wide party every year since we were all 1 year old. I used to look forward to this party every year. It is like a holiday for our pack. It is a celebration of the next generation of leaders for the pack, a sort of celebration of continuity. There has always been some sort of celebration for every generation since the pack began. So why is it bittersweet? Because I know this year will be different. Trevor will take this opportunity to pay me back for the offense he imagined. I really don’t know what Trevor’s issue is anymore. This goes beyond our training match. It seems like he actually hates me and does not want me in this pack anymore. Honestly, I am ready to move on to a pack that will appreciate the blessing having me in their pack brings. A real
Nathan comes in and asks Eli what all the excitement is about. Eli gives him the good news about Ben and Mona. He is also happy for the pair. Nathan lets us know that Sam and Drew will be here in a little while. Sam and Drew are skilled trackers. They left Thursday morning to go on a tracking mission for the council. They were looking for a possibly rogue leader who has been stirring up trouble in the kingdom. Other trackers have tried to find him, but he kept slipping away. Sam and Drew are the most skilled trackers and hunters we have in the kingdom. They are also distant relatives of mine. They are on my mother’s side. I think their great grandfather and my great grandfather were cousins. They are also distant relatives of Fenroe. Yes, if you are thinking that my mother is also a descendent of Fenroe, you are correct. That’s what makes me a pure-blood descendent. My father is a direct descendent. Fenroe was his great (I don’t know how many greats) grandfather. Fenroe was a great
When Shana and I arrive at the party, everything is in full swing. I see my nine friends all sitting at one big table. It’s the same every year. Since all of our birthdays as so close, we also sit at the table of honor. I take Shana’s hand and slowly walk her to our table. I see Ben sitting between Mona and Seleste. Ben’s attention is focused on Mona. You can see the love between the two of them. They remind me of my parents. Speaking of which, I need to introduce them to Shana. I make a quick detour on the way to our table. My mom and dad are sitting with Ben’s parents and Seleste’s parents. I forgot how close the three families are. “Mom, dad, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. True, let me introduce my mate, Shana Stevens. Shana, this is my mom and dad, the beta couple and the gamma couple.” “Hi everyone,” Shana says shyly. “Hi Shana,” my mom says. “We have been eager to meet you. You look lovely tonight.” “Thank you, Luna. You look lovely yourself
My mom and I spend the rest of the morning pampering ourselves. We get Mani and Pedi at the pack’s nail shop. We went to lunch at our favorite dive. My mom and I share a love of good burgers. My mom got a mushroom Swiss burger with bacon added. I got a cheddar bacon burger with crispy onion on top of the burger. It’s made with one beef and one pork patty. It’s not the healthiest lunch, but we enjoyed it, we don’t eat like this every day, but it is good to treat yourself every now and then. After lunch got deep massages to help us relax. We also get primed and waxed. We are flawless and silky smooth for the night. Spending the day with my mom like this was perfect. She knew that I needed to just relax and not think about tonight. We just went with the flow of things and did not talk about mates, birthdays, or the big party. After our massages, we went back to our house.“Thanks, mom. I really needed this pampering day.”“You&rsq
“Now without further ado, let me present your next Beta, Ben Jackson.” Ben and Mona walk up to the stage and stand next to Ben’s parents. “Your next Gamma, Mona True” The crowd gasps. My father and everyone looked shocked. Seleste had started walking to the stage but stopped. I noticed that all the members of the Elite 12 walked and stood behind Seleste. I guess that is a show of power, but I have the ultimate power. “Son, what are you doing?” My father asked, “Seleste is the next Gamma.” “No, dad. I don’t think Seleste is the right one for the position. Seleste has done nothing but undermine my authority in the pack for the last year. As alpha, I can’t have anyone under me who does not respect my position as head of the pack. I want Mona as my Gamma. I think that is best for the pack.” I say. My father is stunned and quiet for a moment after I finish that statement. Mona takes that moment of silence to speak up.“I respectfully decline,” M
My mother and father look lost right now. I don’t know why. They should be proud of me for standing up for the pack.“Ok, everybody, just calm down. Nobody makes any rash decisions until we discuss this further.” My father says.I don’t know why my dad is begging them. We don’t need them.“No, dad. There is nothing to discuss. My mate and I do not want Seleste as our Gamma and I will not allow her to continue to influence my pack. As alpha. I have decided. She and the traitor warriors can leave. I don’t need her. I don’t want her and I don’t need anyone who follows her. She is nothing to this pack but trouble.”Before I know it, Gamma True has broken free of Mrs. True and has me lifted off the floor with his hands around my throat.“I have had enough of you, pup.” Gamma True says. “I have stayed quiet for this long because my daughter asked me to let her handle it, but you have gon
The party started like any other children’s party. There were games, playing, and eating all day long. Our parents were relaxing with each other. My mom’s best friends are all in different packs. Talia travels a lot, so the adults really enjoy it when they all get to hang out together. Us children are the same. We only get to see the whole group together about 3 times a year. Because of who our parents are. Elon and I get to go to the other packs more than the other children, although things will change for us when we start school. School is another whole issue that we may talk about later. All I will say is that it took all of my grandparents begging to convince my parents to allow Elon and me to go to school with the other kids. My parents wanted to keep us on the pack lands and do some kind of home school, which is crazy because our school is a pack school. How would it look if the alpha couple did not trust the pack school to educate their children? Those were the exact words of my
I am one of the most loved and feared wolves of all time. My twin brother and I were blessed by the moon goddess and the archangel Gabriel. From the moment I was born, almost 3 minutes after my twin, I have been told I am special. My family did not realize it at the time, but my brother and I understood what they said about us even before we were born. My twin and I could mind e each other the day we were born. We always assumed it was just a twin thing. Over the years, we have discovered that we are unique and can do things that normal wolves cannot do. My parents have raised us to be levelheaded and grounded. We both will have a lot of responsibility when we are older, and our parents want us to enjoy being pups. Aside from being blessed by the moon and the light, we are descendants of the original gamma and alpha blooded. My brother is already stronger than many full-grown wolves. I have not tested my full strength, but I know I am stronger than all the she-wolves in our pack. I ha
The twins are 3 months old today. They are growing and maturing fast. They are already doing things more advanced than humans and even other werewolf babies. I always knew that they would be special. Both the moon goddess and Gabriel blessed them when I was carrying them. I know that they each have a path to follow. I hope that I as their mother can stir them in the right direction. Everyone has reassured me that Jarvis and I will be great parents. My twins will be showered with love. I’m so glad my parents moved to our pack. They can help me with the twins when I have luna or protector duties. Jarvis’ parents are also very helpful. I just like watching them while they sleep. They are so precious. We still have not figured out what their marks mean. We initially thought their marks were Identical, but they are not. They both have a crescent moon with three stars like mine, but Eliora’s has what looks to be a blade in the middle and Elon's has what looks to be a lightning volt. It’s no
It’s been two years since the supernatural world had what amounted to a civil war orchestrated by pure evil. A lot of good came out of the war. The shifter community is more united and stronger than ever. The groups are no longer separated, well, not completely. Everyone still has their own set of rules and cultures, but we all serve under one king. We all come together yearly for leaders/alphas meeting at the palace. This gives us leaders a chance to network and build or strengthen alliances. It also gives us female warriors a chance to dress and get dolled up. Every year, Rose, Mona, Talia, Lacey, Francis, Violetta and I meet up the week before the conference to go shopping. Not that we need much of an excuse to meet up. We get together as much as possible anyway. Our males like to hang out with each other as well. The circle of ten still meets up as a group at my old pack for our birthday every year. Even though we are all grown and mated, alpha Connor likes to continue the traditi
The war is over. The dark lord has been defeated, but my warriors had to continue fighting mini battles from pockets of rebels who still insisted on fighting the rule of the king. They were no match for our warriors. The king and all of us were tired of needless bloodshed. We remained at the makeshift war tent for a couple of days, coordinating with all the other regions and bringing order. After the third day, we start teleporting warriors back to their region or home group.Queen LaDonna went back to her coven to get all the magics back on track and deal with the remaining dark witches. The decision to allow them to live was a tough one, but it was argued that the fact that they survived a hit from a light weapon showed they were not purely evil. While we didn’t expect them to walk completely in light magic, Queen LaDonna reminded us it is still necessary to have balance in the world. We need some darkness to balance the light. Even if we killed them off, there is nothing to stop ot
After Meditating. I met my parents and Jarvis back in our family wing of the palace. It is almost going time. Jarvis and my dad were discussing the warriors and their plan of attack. While I was training with the king and Queen LaDonna, Jarvis and my dad were mobilizing the rest of the warriors with the new generals of the kingdom. The new generals are none other than Young Trevor and his team from the alpha academy. The goddess did tell me that our destinies have always been intertwined, now I understand how and why.This kingdom has fought wars before, but this is the first time we are battling pure evil. This is the first time mates are fighting side by side. In the past, the warriors were all males and the mate remained home waiting for their mates to return. In this war, the mates are on the frontline fighting together. Some might think that is a disadvantage, but I know it is more of an advantage. There is no power in the world stronger than the power of love. Mate will fight ha
After spending a restful night in Jarvis’ arms. I get up and spend a couple of hours in meditation. I didn’t wake Jarvis up to meditate with me this time. Tamaska and I needed this time with our elements. We all needed to recharge. They let me know they were at full strength and were ready. They also believe in the war that we are facing. The elements do not want to see a purely evil world. They need balance.While in meditation, mother moon visited me and Tamaska. She wanted to let us know everything would be ok.“Seleste, my child.”“Hi mother moon.”“Seleste, you are going to hear and see a lot on the battlefield. Trust your team to do what they need to do so you can focus on what you and the other moon warriors need to do. There will be a gift left for you at the palace. If you get the opportunity, use the gift. Tamaska will know what to do.”“What is the gift and what will it do?”“I can’t tell you that yet, but I will tell you that if everything lines up and Tamaska tells you to
Like all good things, our nice mini vacation came to an unexpected end. I received a mind link from my beta, letting me know they needed us back. I linked him back, telling him we would be there shortly and asking him to arrange for the omegas to come take down the equipment after we left. I grudgingly woke up my sleeping mate.“Wake up Seleste. We have to get back.”“So soon? I was enjoying our time.”“Me too, baby. Beta just linked me. They need us back. It sounded urgent. I think it would be better if we ran back. The omegas will take care of everything and make sure all of our belongings get back to the pack house.”“Ok my alpha, let’s head back.”She jumps up, runs outside and shifts into Tamaska. Oh, my goddess. Tamaska is beautiful and majestic. She is the lightest silver I have ever seen. She almost looks like a shimmering white wolf. I will never tire of seeing her. Onyx is rushing me to let him out. He is ready to run with his mate.“Hurry up human. You had your time with ou
Seleste and I spend a little more time with our team, then we head out to the front of the packhouse. I have the horse and carriage waiting for us as we exit the house. Just seeing the happy and excited expression on Seleste’s face lets me know that this was a good call. This is the perfect time for a horse and carriage ride. The sun is going down, but it is still light enough to see everything. We have at least another hour of light. That works perfectly. Will be able to dine partially by candlelight and then start the movie once the sun completely sets.I help Seleste into the carriage and take my seat next to her as we begin our journey through the forest.“Thank you baby for this. I have always wanted to ride in a carriage but never had the opportunity. I will always remember this moment.”“I am o glad you are enjoying this.”Selese leans her head on my shoulder as we continue to ride. After 10 minutes of riding in silence, with Seleste looking around and taking in the view, she f
