2021-08-07 03:50:19The two seconds it took for Bennett to complete his shift stretched on for what felt like an eternity, I could hear his bones cracking and could see them distorting over his skin at awkward angles. Midnight black fur erupting over his tan skin as if it were burning it away. He was beautiful. I was ashamed to admit that I was a little awe struck being this close to his wolf, to any wolf really. Those who hadn’t yet completed their first shift were kept away from the wolves as we couldn’t communicate yet through the pack link, and wolves were very volatile once provoked, but I couldn’t stop myself, I reached for him. His fur was jet black but in the dim lights of the apartment, it almost looked like a blue hue surrounded the darkness of his coat. He was soft and a giggle erupted from my throat before I could stop it.
Bennett let out a huff that quickly turned into a low growl as he wrapped his body around me, he was so large that he stood wrapped around me- no

I plopped down on a bench outside the high school cafeteria taking in my surroundings for one of the last times. To me, Las Cruces was dry and dusty, it sat right on the edge of the Chihuahuan dessert, it’s only saving grace are the mountains. It’s one of the reasons my Father chose this place, he only boasted about his genius plan to anyone who would listen- we were safe, no one would expect to find a pack of almost 300 nestled here, hidden in plain sight. Which was also a lie, he used magic to enforce a barrier, and he said it was to keep us safe from the other supernaturals’ and other packs, another lie. Only my brother Ace and I were privileged to his bed of deception as we were his children, or “heirs” as he liked to call us. My father was cruel and merciless, which is how he got into his position, slaughtering those who stood against him. He was the werewolf “King” and he represented the wolves in the supernatural council. My brother A

As the last bell of the day rung I walked quickly to my car, it was already 2:15pm. My father had sent me a text message telling me that even though tonight was the party, I was still expected to train from 3-5pm. I shuddered, I hated training, hopefully he will go easy on me today because of the fact that I’ll have to look perfect tonight, it would be an embarrassment to him otherwise. My car wasn’t fancy, it was an old Toyota corolla that had apparently belonged to the mother I never got to meet, it was the only place in the world where I felt safe- where I felt like I had a choice, I could leave right now and be across the packs border before anyone even knew I was missing. I let out an exhausted sigh, I knew I would never leave my brother, or Cami. Ace and I were only half siblings, me being the result of an ill-timed affair with my father. Ace’ mother was kind to Ace, and tolerated me, and I didn’t blame her. She tried to raise me like her own but that o

I pulled up to our house a few minutes later, house, if you could even call it that. It had 12 rooms and 7 bathrooms, its own gym, its own theatre. Most nights after my father was asleep, I’d sneak out to my car to sleep, it’s the only thing that’s mine and that feels safe. I turned off the ignition and decided to wait outside for Cami. If I was being honest waiting was for my own benefit, I couldn’t be sure if my Father was home yet, and with Cami in tow I wouldn’t have to answer my Fathers’ questions about training, or be under his watchful gaze. He liked to put on act towards everyone that he was the most humble alpha, had no idea how he had gotten here. His nice guy persona which everyone bought, I was still unsure how he ended up in the middle of every battle, slaughtered entire packs, and was still considered a “good guy.” He quoted W.H Auden to me and my brother many times, “Private faces in public places are wiser a

“Will you stop fidgeting please? You’re going to ruin all my hard work.” Cami slapped my hands away from my hair, “You look perfect.” She was completely unaware that her driving is what caused me to almost upchuck my food all over her car.I nodded in response.“Come on princess!!” She laughed as she threw her door open. She looked perfect as well, her gown was a light purple with a see through lace top that unluckily for all the male wolves covered her girly bits, and flowed down into a train behind her. She was radiant with her blonde hair trailing behind her as well.I had to choke back a gasp when I took in the scenery around me. My father held my birthday celebration in the pasture where we all gather to change and run as a pack on the full moon. The decorations were simple, adding in wooded benches with simple white table clothes. Lights were strung from tree top to tree top, sparkling in the darkness, real candles

The world turned, I was vaguely aware that Bennett was shouting and my brother was trying to get him to stop causing a scene before anyone noticed us. It was hot outside, much too hot, I was struggling to breathe. My brain must have been short circuiting because I couldn’t figure out a way to get the air in my lungs, I was just doubled over gasping for air like a fish out of water.“Bennett, we need to get her out of here before my father sees her this way.”“I don’t understand why he would do this… Ace, I’m going to need some answers, considering I’ve told you more than anyone.” He pointed his finger straight into Ace’s chest, which confused me, my brother was next in line. Bennett should be cowering in fear, my father has had wolves decapitated for less.Ace didn’t respond to that remark, he shoved his keys into Bennett’s hands, “Look, take her to my apartment, I’ll tell dad s

My jaw dropped, did I hear him correctly? “I’m your what?” I moved backwards trying to create some distance between us so I could think clearly, being this close to him was still fogging up my brain.Bennett stalked towards me, “You are mine Aurora. I always knew I was attracted to you, but my wolf knew it the second I shifted.”“But… but why didn’t you tell me?” I stuttered, he stopped walking towards me and ran his hands through his unruly hair.“You were 16, you were a kid. We haven’t had a pair of fated mates in this pack since before your father was Alpha, I’ve been researching for two years about what this would mean for you, for us.”“Well…what did you find?”“Not much, just that fated mates are two souls blessed by the moon goddess with her magic link she pulls from nature, those texts are safely guarded by the witches of the world.
