Alice“No please!” I shot up in my bed, and my heart was pounding in my ears. Ugh, another nightmare. I grabbed my phone, and checked the time, and it was currently two in the morning. I remember coming home to find Cole, who had guarded the house, and decided to take a nap, seeing as I did not want to deal with him.I tried turning over and going back to sleep, but I just could not fall back asleep, so I did the next best thing and opened my bedroom door, and headed to the kitchen. I might as well make myself something to drink, so I decided that hot chocolate would be a great option.I walked toward the balcony, and watched as the darkness of the night covered the ocean like a blanket. I could barely see anything except for a few waves, and the light of the moon being reflected ever so slightly in the dark waters.The sound of waves crashing into one another was calming, and paired with the hot chocolate, it made a really good match for relaxation. I let out a heavy sigh of relief,
Alice “Hey, where are you? I do not see you anywhere. Are you running late or something?” I texted, and soon enough I heard someone’s phone go off. I looked around to try and find where the sound was coming from, but it seemed that I might have been hearing things, because no one in here had checked their phone.I hope he arrives soon. Just when I was about to give up hope, a text from Conner came through, telling me that he was already here. I looked up in confusion at his text before noticing that Conner was the guy who sat near the window of the café.He stood up with a massive smile on his face, and walked over to me with confidence.“Well, well. Look at who we have here! Alice! It is so great to see you. You have grown to be quite beautiful; I just hope you have grown to be smarter as well.” He let out a chuckle as I smacked his chest playfully.“I see that you are still the same old Conner that you were back then, and it seems your looks are also the only thing that has change
AliceI froze in place as Zayn backed away from the café window slowly, but surely, and he looked like he had seen a ghost. I knew exactly what was going through his mind, and I knew how it looked, so I excused myself for a moment before running after Zayn.I caught up with him just as he was about to get into his car. All the while, I thought about whether I was doing the right thing or not, and I hoped that I was not going to get hurt again.“Zayn just wait!” I yelled out of breath, and he finally stopped, which I was thankful for. I tried catching my breath, before talking again.“Zayn... it is not what it looks...” His eyes narrowed at my words, and he finally snapped.“Really? Because it seems to me that it is exactly what it looks like! My wife, who had disappeared without a trace from the pack for an entire month, has been living in paradise, and meeting other guys, while I worried myself sick! I wondered every single night if you were okay, or still alive, and here you are, t
AliceWe were walking towards the front of the beach house, and I could hear Kaitlyn inside, much to my dismay. At least she seemed like she was occupied, and that made it a little more bearable. Zayn suggested that I start packing, and that is exactly what I did. I would rather live with him than with Kaitlyn and her new boyfriend anyway.I was kind of excited to get back to the pack after being away for so long, and I knew the pups had missed me a lot, which was really sweet. Zayn told me that the pups were all asking where I had run off to, and it warmed my heart to hear how much they had missed me.I finished packing up all of my clothes, and came to the realization that I still needed to tell Chelsea that I would be going home, and that I would not be able to make it to our next therapy appointment. I picked up the phone and dialed her contact, and she immediately picked up, which was a relief.“Hey Alice! How have you been doing? Do you have any reason as to why you called so ou
Alice“You were gone for a month without even telling me! How could you?! I have been worried sick!” Haley has been like this since we arrived. I wanted to congratulate her on her marriage, but she looked like she couldn't care less.I suppose it was understandable, seeing as I did not even communicate with her while I was away. It is understandable that my best friend for the past few years was upset.“I am so sorry! I promise I will not do it again; I just needed some space to sort myself out, and get over everything that has happened... I have no excuse for avoiding you of all people, but I am so happy that you and Bryce finally became married. What do you say we go out and get something to eat, and you can tell me everything? I will be paying, of course.” She looked at me with an intense stare before her eyes softened.“That sounds... Like a great idea. Zayn, you and Bryce can do whatever it is that guys do, we are going to have a girl’s day.” Haley grabbed my hand, and we walked
AliceWe arrived at the pack house, and something felt off. Everything was quiet, and I was beyond confused. We walked up to the porch of the pack house, and I opened the door slowly, making sure to be careful in case something bad happened.“Surprise!” Everyone from the pack was in the living room to the left, and the whole place was decorated. A banner reading “welcome home” was strung up, and obviously done by all the pups, which warmed my heart.“We are so glad to have you back, and I thought it would be nice to throw a party in your honour. I hope you like it, my love.” I smiled as Zayn stood in front of me, before tearing up, and he immediately took me into his arms. I was in complete and utter shock. The pack has never done anything like this for me before, which made it all the more special.“Thank you... Thank you so much.” I smiled as I looked into Zayn’s eyes, and he gave me a peck on the lips.“Of course. Anything for the love of my life, and Luna to the pack. I thought yo
ZaynI woke up with the most beautiful woman in my arms, and she was back! I missed her smile... I missed how she would frown when in deep thought, and I missed the look of excitement that made her eyes sparkle like stars in the night sky.I smiled at how soundly she slept, and I made sure not to wake her up as I stood up from the bed. I replaced myself with a pillow, which she immediately snuggled into. Gosh, she really is cute. I stared for a moment too long and caught myself as I regained my senses.Right! I have a mission to complete, and I had to do it before she woke up. I headed to the kitchen, and started to prepare breakfast, which consisted of eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee. It is nothing fancy by any means, but I would like to think that it is the thought that counts. Right?Now, did we have private chefs to do all of that, and more? Yes, we do, but I wanted to do it for her, because today is the day I wanted to spend with my Luna, and hopefully, today was going to be a won
AliceSitting in the car always fills me with some sort of nostalgia, especially if you are driving out of a forest, and the trees are rushing past you and fading into the background. We were on our way to wherever Zayn had decided would be a great idea for a date.I was hesitant at first when I heard that we would be driving for two hours, but at least the drive was not too boring, granted that I was entertaining myself. We drove for what felt like an eternity, and I was beyond bored, so I resorted to the last possible option for anyone when they were stuck in a predicament like this.“Are we there yet?” Zayn rolled his eyes, knowing what was going to happen next.“No, not yet.” He fell for it. A wicked smirk found its way onto my lips, and that is when my plans fell into place.“Are we there yet?” My smirk grew as he gave me a knowing look.“Alice, my love, you do not want to play this game with me.” He stated, his tone serious, and I could not help but giggle.“Alright, I will not
Zayn“Are all the preparations made for tonight’s barbeque?” I looked at Bryce, hoping that he had made all the necessary preparations.“I have arranged for all the pack members to gather the wood needed for tonight, and the chefs have already started to cook most of the courses for tonight, so everything is in order Alpha.” Bryce replied, and I felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.Alice, Haley, and Kaitlyn were busy tending to everyone’s needs and arranging places for the newer pack members to stay. Alice takes her job as Luna of the pack very seriously, and it is one of the things that I admired about her.She knew what she wanted to get done, and would always plan accordingly, and I could not help but think to myself about just how lucky I was to have a mate as perfect as she is.“Good. How are the new pack members settling in so far?” I was curious whether they liked it here or not.“They seem to be adjusting well, and Cole told me that he was very thankfu
Unknown POV“I cannot believe that it worked! I had never done anything like that before...” I was excited to finally be getting somewhere with my talents!“Yeah, good job, now go get me a spare change of clothes...” Another order... When will it stop?Alice“This is actually so much fun!” We were currently dancing on one of the machines in the arcade, and there were three of them. I was facing off against Haley, Kaitlyn was facing off against Bryce, and Zayn was facing off against Cole.“I agree! This is one of the best decisions we have made yet! What game do you want to play after we are done with this one?” I was not really sure which game would be the best to play, seeing as there were so many of them. My eyes wandered for a bit before they glued themselves to what looked to be a row of bikes.“How about we go ride some bikes? It looks kind of fun.” I was hoping they would agree, because those bikes moved from side to side, and you would either face off against AI or you could p
Alice“You have no idea what you just did.” His words echoed in my mind, and I was tortured by that look on his face. I shot up from the comfort of my bed, and looked around the room as I broke out into a cold sweat. Oh... It was just a dream...“Are you alright, my love?” Zayn also sat up, and wiped the sleep from his eyes. He looked like he was still half asleep, and the sight of him calmed me down a bit.“I am fine my love... It was just a nightmare. There is no need to worry about little old me.” He raised a brow in confusion, before running his hands through my hair, and tucking a stray strand behind my ear.“Of course, I am always going to worry about you. You are my mate, and nothing is going to change that fact. I will always be worried about you, just like I will always protect you. Now come here, and let us get some sleep in, yeah?” He smirked as he opened up his arms, and I could not help but blush at his words.“Okay fine. You win this time, and thank you.” I gave him a ki
Alice“This is what happens when you f*ck with me!” I was currently in the arms of Tristan, and he was holding a knife to my throat. How did we end up here, you might ask? Well...*A few hours earlier*“Hey guys, would you like to come live in our pack with us? I promise you will be way better off there, then you are here...” The guys looked at us curiously before agreeing, and hopping into the van.I think we are going to help a lot of these people today, and I could see how happy Zayn was to be helping them. So, I did what any good Luna would do for her Alpha, and I gave him a peck on the lips.“What was that for?” He gave me that sexy grin of his, and I could not help but smile back at him.“It is for being the best Alpha and mate that I could ever ask for.” His grin widened, and he picked me up before kissing me deeply, and slowly. He pulled away for a couple of seconds and gazed into my eyes.“Gosh you are perfect.” His smile never faded, and neither did mine. I blushed at his wo
Tristan“Get me another glass of water!” The people in this camp were as good as useless. I can see why they were cast out of their packs. It did not matter to me what they had done, or what they had gone through to end up where they did. All that mattered to me at this point was the fact that I wanted that Alpha title, and I was not going to stop until I got what was rightfully mine.I was busy with planning an attack on my old pack that had forsaken me, when I noticed something strange. A lot of the wolves here were complaining about being sick, and not having enough food provided for them. I tried my best to meet their needs, but I gave up pretty quickly after realizing that if they were starving, then they would have gone hunting to get their own food.I cannot believe that Cole could leave the camp like he had. He left the camp that he built with his own hands, and he never came back. He ran off with my girl, and left me with the scraps that were left of his camp. I was going to m
AliceWe made our way down towards the kitchen, and everyone seemed to be ready for the day. Had I known that they were making breakfast, then I would have been up earlier. It smelled amazing, and I could not wait to dig into it.The breakfast consisted of pancakes and syrup. There were also french-fries, and bacon, which made it even more delicious. I could tell that they had put a lot of effort into this, and they seemed just as proud of themselves as I was.“It looks amazing you guys! Thank you so much for the breakfast. What sparked the idea?” I smiled at them as I grabbed myself a plate.“Well... We decided we were hungry, and I was in the mood for some of the food here, so I decided we should just make some for everyone. I hope you enjoy it, because we have been here for the past two hours.” Haley let out a giggle, and I could tell that she did not mind cooking at all.It just occurred to me that we had a private chef, but we rarely even used him. I would eat Zayn’s cooking most
AliceMy nerves were on edge after what had happened with Tristan, but I could not let that stop me from defeating him. He was arrogant and ignorant. He had no idea that we had been training to the best of our abilities, and we were going to defeat him.“I think we should take the fight to them. The trackers had picked up his scent, and it looked like he had gathered a few wolves to fight alongside him. So, I say we use the element of surprise to catch them off-guard.” Bryce stated his plan and everyone in the room looked at him with curiosity.“I think that is an excellent plan. If they have no idea that we are attacking them first, then we have the upper hand. They will not be expecting us, so we can take out most of them.” Zayn seemed to agree with Bryce, and I had to admit, it was a pretty good plan.“Where are they now? Do we have any idea where they might be hiding?” Kaitlyn stood up as she asked her question, and it seemed like she was nervous. Given her past, I was skeptical a
AliceRemember to always watch your back... Otherwise, what just happened to Ethan, might happen to you. I am talking about being grabbed from behind whilst trying to fight someone. Not only does it stop you dead in your tracks, but it also shifts your attention from one person to another, and the chances are that you are not going to win.Ethan was sparring against Wayne, and when he got cocky, Victor stepped up behind him. Ethan was now struggling against his grasp, and I have to say it is quite funny.“Hey, let me go! I have rights, you know!” I could not help but laugh at Ethan’s antics. He really knew how to put on a show, and I think that everyone would agree.“I told you to watch your back, furball. It is not my fault that you were too occupied and unaware to notice. Now we do it again!” Victor’s voice boomed as he yelled that last part out.We continued with our training, and it was starting to get late. Everyone was tired, and we were waiting for Ethan to finish up, then we c
ZaynThe day started off quite rough... After we finished the movies yesterday, we all went to our separate rooms and got ready for bed. This morning was quite rough for Alice, because she had morning sickness, and she practically ran to the bathroom still half asleep.Luckily, I woke up on time, and held her hair back as I rubbed her lower back to try and comfort her. We sat on that bathroom floor for a while before I picked her up and placed her back into the bed.“Do not worry my love, I will get you something to eat and drink. I will be right back, my love!” She nodded faintly, and it caused my heart to ache as I watched my mate contort in pain.I walked to the kitchen, and started preparing the usual breakfast that I always did, and I hoped that she would like it. I not only had to worry about my mate and Luna in our pack, but now I also had to worry about the little bundle of joy that was blooming inside of her.I would do anything for her, and I would do anything to keep both h
