POV: Atlas

“WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THEY GOT THROUGH AGAIN?” I snarled, my vision tinting red in rage. I took a couple of ragged breaths as I pushed back the desire to punch my Beta in the face.

‘Mate is near, we are going to scare her if you keep this up.’ Lobo sighed, realizing that I was losing my grip and he’d have to drop his anger to be the logical one for the moment. ‘Fuck! I just… FUCK!’ I growled back, continuing to take deep breaths and running my hands through my hair.

I could sense Echo and Tala’s distress through the bond, and could feel them swirling out of control. Taking a final deep breath, I only made it the first couple of steps in her direction when I felt it. Just as a flood of overwhelm flowed over the bond, an intense aura emanated from Echo and slammed into us like a brick wall.

Stumbling heavily, I righted myself before I quickly assessed the situation and saw that the Betas and Deltas were all knocked off their feet, and Echo stood there looking stunned. In

    POV: EchoIt had taken me a moment to realize that I was shifting, and I was thankful when Tala pushed forward to take the brunt of the pain and finish our transition.‘Echo… I don’t know what’s happening, I can’t finish shifting. We almost shifted, but our body was forced back to our human form. But now that we’ve started shifting, our body must finish in our wolf form. We won’t stop transitioning until we do!’ Tala’s pained voice filled my mind, and I began to worry about what this could mean.‘I’m sorry Echo, something is wrong, I can’t…’ Tala’s voice had become weak and faint, and when she abruptly trailed off, I knew something was seriously wrong. I didn’t get to think about it though, because as soon as her voice trailed away, I was slammed back into the forefront of our body. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t even scream as I opened my mouth in silent agony.I vaguely heard someone's voice, before the tingles of our mate spread out from his touch. It took the edge off of the pain be

    POV: BradyScowling with frustration, I swiped everything off of my desk with a resounding crash of broken dishes, scattering pens, and fluttering papers. Thankfully, my laptop had already been securely placed in a drawer, or it would have been smashed with everything else.It didn’t matter what I did, I just couldn’t make the Goddess-damned businesses make enough money to support the lifestyle my mate and I were accustomed to. Especially not since that good-for-nothing Alpha showed up and took my Little Doll away from me.We had to hire 5 she-wolves to do the jobs that my Little Doll managed to do entirely on her own, and they didn’t do it nearly as well as she did. Nor did they satisfy Raze and I’s other needs. My Little Doll was the only one who could ever meet those needs.‘I told you not to leave her there!’ Raze snarled, pacing in irritation and desperation. ‘She was so close! We could be satisfied right now if you’d done what I’d told you!’‘We would have gotten caught and you

    POV: EchoI felt my body sag against Atlas as my mind tried to catch up to what they were saying, as a loop repeated of bits and pieces of what I was hearing.‘Through the wringer. Dirt and soot. Torn and singed. Blood stains. Fair distance. Alpine Moon. Alpha Sebastian. Luna Levana. Destroyed. Eradicated overnight. No survivors. Tragedy. 3 Survivors. Massacre. Spared no one. Sebastian. Levana. Didn’t know who. After one thing. Their daughter. You. Luna Echo.’Tala whined as our heart confirmed what our mind didn’t want to believe. My heart ached with deep, long-buried sorrow. The kind of sorrow that could only come from serious loss, the loss of my parents, and the loss of my pack. I quivered as I took deep, shuddering breaths, hoping to alleviate the pain I was feeling.Atlas hugged me tighter, and the emotions overwhelmed me, causing me to sob into his chest as I grieved the losses that had been too long forgotten. Grief that demanded to be felt. The men seemed to realize as much,

    POV: EchoWe were walking down the forest path, a woman holding my left hand that looked just like me but with blue eyes, and a redheaded man with my eyes was holding my right hand. Giggling, I told them about how Jovie, the Beta, was teaching me various ways to toss someone over my shoulder earlier in the day. And I got to put it into practice when the Delta, Wrenley, got the surprise of her life when she tried to sneak up behind me and startle me!My father’s laugh was rich, and I could see that he used it often. My mother tried to arrange her face to look disapproving, but the sparks of pride and amusement in her eyes soon gave her away. Chattering and laughing happily, I didn’t realize something was wrong until both of my parents' hands tightened slightly as they came to an abrupt halt. Glancing between them, I could see they were mind-linking with someone from the pack, and from their expressions, it wasn’t good news. ‘Do you remember where the safe room is?’ My mother yanked m

    POV: BradyExcitement was coursing through me as I reviewed our plans for the last time. Everything was ready to go, and I was finally, finally, going to have my Little Doll with me once more. Hearing my office door swing open, I turned to see my gorgeous mate step inside before closing the door and locking it.Raising an eyebrow, I looked her up and down. Knowing she had my full attention, she sashayed toward me in a tight red dress that barely touched the top of her thighs. Her cleavage was spilling from the low-cut bodice, and Raze’s appreciative growl rumbled across the room as the scent of our arousal flowed toward each other across the room.“Like what you see?” she purred as she wrapped her arms around my neck and drew me in for a kiss. Taking over, I ran my tongue over her bottom lip and explored her mouth with my tongue when she granted me access.“Very much so!” I rumbled, pulling back only when she was panting for breath, and I began pressing open-mouthed kisses down her ja

    POV: AtlasEcho stared numbly at the bathroom wall, and I could feel the numbness she was feeling inside as it spread to me through the bond. Without saying a word, I slowly undressed her as she responded to my actions on auto pilot.Once she was undressed, I quickly stripped and moved her into the shower with me. Knowing she wasn’t able to, I took my time washing and conditioning her hair before moving on to washing her body.Feeling she was sufficiently sudsy, I pulled the detachable shower head from the wall to hose all the soap away. She just stood there quietly, hardly even blinking as her mind replayed the night her pack was reduced to nothing.I sighed as I quickly washed my hair and body, leaving the water on with Echo standing in the stream so I could grab some towels. Giving myself a cursory pat down with the towel, I wrapped it around my waist before reaching in and turning off the water. I wrap my mate in a towel and when she doesn’t move, I pick her up and carry her into

  • Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha   Memory Part 1

    POV: Echo*Memory*:*My parents had been tense since Alpha Jarrod and Luna Esther stopped by for a visit the other day, and I could tell it had something to do with their son. Ever since we arrived, he has been hovering closer and closer every day. It’s been a while since we’ve been here, and he is always near me now.At first, I thought he might just be curious about the ‘rogue’ girl, but now I think it’s more than that. He never talks to me, and I don’t think he even knows that I know he’s been following me everywhere I go for the last few weeks. I always know exactly where he is, and so that is where I avoid going. The Red Stone pack is nice, not as nice as home was, but better than all that time we spent getting there while avoiding other packs and rogues along the way. We couldn’t even stop and get a vehicle anywhere because my parents were so worried that we’d be found. I’ve been working hard not to show how much I miss Alpine Moon, but I know it sneaks through occasionally. S

    POV: Echo*“And if I don’t?” Brady raised an eyebrow at my mother, pulling me impossibly closer. “What are a couple of refugee wolves such as yourselves going to do to the future Alpha of the pack you’ve taken refuge in? My father has already been looking at how to force your hand in five years, anyway. What difference does it make if it’s now or then?”Everyone fell silent at the underlying threat within Brady’s words. I could feel the tears as they dripped down my cheeks, and I wanted nothing more than to run to my mother and father for safety. As though he knew what I was thinking, Brady tightened his grip on me painfully.“Brady, son,” His mother, Esther, was the first to break the deafening silence. “This isn’t the way to go about this! You’re scaring the poor girl! I don’t think she will be very accepting of your offer in ten years if she is afraid of you…” My stomach cramped at her uneasy chuckle after she confirmed my worst fears. They wanted me as the mate for their son, fat

  • Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha   Luna Ceremony

    POV: Echo The day had finally come, and to say that I was nervous would be an understatement. Thankfully, Noira, Gwen, Cordelia, Granny Maeve, and Vesta had shown up at mid-afternoon to get me ready for the ceremony. It would begin as the full moon shone down on us with the Moon Goddess’s blessing. In a spare room on the first floor, they had run me a bath, filled with many things I didn’t recognize, while they prepared the room for creating ‘their masterpiece’. I was grateful to the five she-wolves who came to my aid, as I had absolutely no idea how to do anything with hair or makeup other than a few quick and practical hair styles I’d learned to keep it back while I worked. Each of them had been working their magic, and, mercifully, they had planned little ‘spa’ and snack breaks regularly to help keep me from becoming overwhelmed. I was a thousand times better than I’d ever been with my mental health, but I was so nervous about this evening, and they had not allowed Atlas and I to

  • Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha   Shift

    POV: Echo The incident with Brady changed my outlook on life entirely. Having come into my own as a Guardian of the Light, and breaking down the rest of the block had allowed me to step free of the mental chains that were holding me back before. That’s not to say that my panic attacks and nightmares are completely gone, but I can speak without stuttering now, and have miraculously stopped flinching whenever someone moves. I felt a confidence in myself that had never existed before, and rightfully so. I’d experienced my worst nightmare. He’d done his worst, and I literally defeated him. Turned him human and banished him from the werewolf world. I was also able to identify the woman’s voice that helped me through the incident. It took some digging through the old texts in the back of the pack library and a chat with Granny Maeve to make sure I wasn’t insane before I’d believed it, of course. It turns out Guardians, being specially chosen by the Moon Goddess herself, had a direct link

  • Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha   Female Alpha

    POV: Echo Atlas stands up and sits me on the bed so that I’m facing him, maneuvering me as though I wasn’t growling, kicking, and pawing at him with everything I had to make him let go of me. Avoiding my attempt to nip his hand, he grips my chin and tilts my face up to force me to look at him. “Now, are you done throwing your little fit? You are sitting with me, and that is final. I need you close to keep us calm. If you do not stop, I will be forced to make you stop.” Atlas and Zev explained, and I could sense that they were merged the same as Tala and I were at that moment. “Let. Me. Go! I am not sitting with you! And you can not force me to stop!” I snarled low, narrowing my eyes, and swiping at him with my fingers curled to scratch at him. “Fine.” He growled, catching one hand and then the other before they ever touched him. Leaning forward, he easily pushed me back into the bed, pinning my arms above my head as I thrashed below him. His alpha aura rose, trying to force my wolf

  • Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha   In a Mood

    POV: Atlas We made record time across the pack lands, moving as quickly as we could without exhausting ourselves entirely. It still wasn’t fast enough for me and my wolf, the only thing containing our rage being the confirmation of the bond that I was moving in the right direction, getting closer to our mate. Echo’s side of the bond was a hot mess, and the feelings coming through were jumbled and impossible to sort through. I only knew something big was going on with her, as I could feel the power within her awakening. Finally, Ragnar slowed down, cautiously approaching a dense patch of vegetation before pushing aside some plants and revealing the entrance to the cave system. Giving him a nod, I went ahead, inhaling deeply to scent the area, ears strained to pick up any sounds. Ever so faintly, I could smell the intoxicating scent of my mate that I’d been missing. Rushing in the direction it’s coming from, I just about crash face first into her as she comes stumbling out of a small

    POV: Echo‘Wait’ I barely heard the faint voice, Raze gripping my hips tightly as the darkness released me into his grasp. His touch sent a shiver of disgust down my back as he smirked at me victoriously.“I told you, the likes of you will never be on equal footing with an Alpha like us!” He snarled, the darkness forming a cloud that engulfs us entirely. The shiver turned into a full-blown tremble as tendrils of dark wrapped themselves around me while Raze gripped me by the neck and pulled me into him, pressing my back into his chest as he scented my neck.Swallowing the rising bile, I bow my head submissively, falling back against him as I counted to ten slowly to bide my time, waiting for the right time. By the time I reached ten, I was coated in a layer of black mist, and the wolf behind me had just slipped his hand under my shirt. Thankfully, Tala and I are still merged, and she is able to block the flashbacks as they try to take over our senses.‘Now, child, now!’ The faint voice

    POV: EchoBrady opened and closed his mouth several times, ultimately ending with him simply closing it and staring at me in awe. Spencer simply gawked at me, unable to even so much as close his mouth as he tried to understand what he’d seen. They seemed to be stuck like that as they processed, and I had a feeling it might take them a bit.I was suddenly filled with a desire to jerk my hands apart, but with the cuffs still securing my wrists to the wall, it seemed redundant. ‘Echo, follow your instincts. They will rarely steer you wrong!’ Tala’s voice rang through my head, and I was relieved that she was still with me. Mentally greeting her and showing my love, I felt the last of my fear dissipate when she told me she had already reached out to our mate and told him where to find us.Deciding to listen to Tala and trust my instincts, I took a steadying breath and wrenched my hands away from each other as hard as I could. I was waiting for the inevitable painful jerking halt as the cuf

  • Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha   Illuminating

    POV: Echo The silver cuffs had created oozing sores that wrapped all the way around my wrists. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t take enough pressure off them to keep the silver from contacting my skin, and now my wounds. The wounds provided the silver with the access to my bloodstream it needed to suppress Tala and physically weaken me. It also blocked my ability to mind-link, which meant I couldn’t reach out for help. After the beating that had brought forth my Alpha aura, Brady had kicked me in the head, effectively knocking me out so that he could freak out without letting me know I’d gotten to him. He was too late though, as I’d seen the briefest flash of fear before he’d gotten to his feet just before he delivered the kick. That had been what I could only assume was hours ago, as there was no sunlight or clock in view to track the time. He hasn’t been back since I’d come to, and I was thankful for the time to orient myself and reinforce my composure. It must have been just a

  • Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha   My Place

    POV: AtlasRagnar’s comment about underestimating your opponent definitely put a lot of the wolves at the table in their place, including me. I knew right away I had let myself get carried away in the moment and hadn’t paid enough attention to my mate.Her dismay flowed heavily through the bond before she excused herself and rushed out of the dining hall. Knowing that I was most likely a major contributor to her distress, I followed her out and wrapped her in my arms.She turned to putty in my hands as I apologized, and all thoughts of her appointment disappeared from my mind as I carried her to the lift. Until she reminded me, rather insistently, that she had to go.I knew she was right though, as I had my meeting to attend, wanting to finish the setup of the personal guard detail we’d been discussing. We’d picked the six wolves who would be rotating shifts, now we just needed to solidify their duties, shifts, when we needed more or fewer guards, etc. The finer details, so that they

    POV: EchoBreakfast was filled with laughter, and a lot of jokes about me flipping Ragnar over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I think that most of the wolves there wouldn’t have believed I’d done it if they hadn’t been there to see it.Travis and Blaze certainly looked sceptical for a moment before everyone confirmed I’d done it. Everyone’s doubt made me feel a bit put off, but I know my small size of 5 foot nothing and being underweight weren’t helping. If I don’t think I would believe such a small wolf could flip a 6-foot 7-inch-tall wolf that was built like a brick wall, either. Shrugging it off, I simply gave a small smile to anyone who was surprised as they joined our table.“You know, one of the most dangerous things a wolf can do in a fight is to underestimate their opponent.” I looked up from my tray to find Ragnar was looking straight at me while he spoke. “Judging a wolf’s skills based on their appearance gets you killed out there.
