Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha A Good Hiding Spot
POV: Echo My whole body felt numb and I couldn’t make out the words that were being shouted by my mate over the ringing in my ears. Instinctively, I moved away from the sounds of an angry wolf at my side, scrambling off of the couch and away. Taking a quick glance around the room to narrow down my options, I pinpointed my spot. Thankfully, there was a bar-style table that was lined with stools, built into the wall adjacent to the wall with the windows. I hadn’t noticed it coming in, and it was behind where we had been sitting. Glancing at the wolves on the couch, I saw that their attention was focused on their snarling Alpha and endangered Elder, so I quickly slipped between two stools and ducked into the corner closest to the wall of windows. Yet another detail I’d missed while focusing on the introductions to the Elders, was the ceiling-to-floor, cream-colored curtains that hung on this side of the window. I had no idea how they were attached, maybe to the ceiling, since I couldn
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Proof
POV: Echo Twisting the lock and wrenching the door handle, I got it open a whole two inches before a hand appeared above my head, forcibly pushing it closed despite my attempts to pull it further open. Reaching around me with his other hand, he brushed my hands out of the way and flicked the lock back into place. “Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I believe that you were about to sit on the couch and we were going to have a little chat.” He said, his voice laced with his barely contained anger as I fought an internal battle not to panic. “O-okay. L-let’s sit and ch-chat.” I said quietly, and he moved his arm from around me and motioned me towards the couch. ‘Tala, I need you to reach out to Zev and Atlas! I can’t link with anyone from the pack yet, but you can reach their wolves!’ Waiting until I was facing away from the Elder behind me to reach out to Tala, I focused on walking like normal, so he wouldn’t think anything was amiss. ‘On it! I hope Atlas is close. I don’t li
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Fighting His Hold
POV: Echo Relief coursed through me as we finally made our way into our bedroom. Slipping my shoes off, I slid my way under the covers of our bed, sighing as I stretched out my tense muscles. Lunch with Granny Maeve was surprisingly pleasant, and she didn’t ask a single question about my past like I’d been worried she might. Instead, she had filled the time telling me a bit more about the pack, and some of their general habits. Some of it I had come to realize on my own since arriving, like the meals in the dining hall. Other things, like the game nights they held each Saturday evening in the rec room at the pack house, I hadn’t expected. Thinking about it, the only activity that anyone in Red Stone ever seemed interested in doing together was finding some way to hurt me. Many of the wolves there were focused on their own benefit, and not on the benefit of the pack. Blood Moon’s focus on the pack seemed to make a lot more sense than everyone being out for themselves. I felt the bed
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Getting Distracted
POV: Echo Raising an eyebrow, I gave Atlas a questioning look when he turned in the opposite direction of the lift from our bedroom. I’d assumed that we were going to be going to the kitchen to grab snacks and that there was probably some kind of living room with a TV that we could use like they had in Red Stone. Giving me a mischievous grin, he turned and walked into an open-style kitchenette that had a full-sized refrigerator, a large microwave, several cupboards, a counter and sink, and a small pantry. There was an island with cupboards on one side and stools on the other. The lights ran in a strip, all pointing towards the wall of cupboards, and away from the opposite end of the room. Squinting, I could just make out several couches. Chuckling, Atlas gently lowered me to my feet, taking my hand and leading me to the small pantry. When he opened it, I gaped in awe at the sheer number of bags of chips that were neatly arranged on the shelves. I had seen and smelt many of them in R
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Without Atlas
POV: Echo The movie Atlas chose was about pets, and it was both adorable and funny. By the time it ended, my cheeks felt sore from laughing and smiling. Between the movie and the delicious snacks, I feel like I am floating on happiness. It also helped that at some point during the movie, Atlas and I had gravitated from our spots on the couch and into each other’s arms. At some point, he straight-up pulled me into his lap, and I watched the rest of the movie with my head resting on his shoulder and his arms around me as I stole his snacks. As the credits rolled, we snuggled for a bit longer, enjoying the tingles and shivers of the mate bond as he occasionally kissed whichever part of me he could reach. He sighs as the advertisements for what to watch next pop up and startle us. “Should we invite the gang?” He asks, raising an eyebrow, and I nod as I realize I really want to see everyone. I never wanted to see anyone in Red Stone. I was always avoiding everyone as much as possible. A
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Unimaginable Strength and Spirit
POV: EchoIt took every ounce of Tala and my determination not to panic at the boxed-in feeling I experienced as I sat between the two strange wolves in the midst of a table full of some of the strongest wolves this pack had to offer. Uncertain if I should say anything or not, I decided to grab my bottle of water and take a sip instead.I mentally cursed myself as my hands trembled, making the water dance as I twisted the cap back in place. Keeping my eyes on my tray, I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, regretting the decision to sit there as I felt all of their curious gazes on me.“I’m so glad you joined us!” The cheerful, fiery-haired she-wolf beside me smiled widely as I turned to look at her, and I could feel the sincerity in her voice. “I’m Vesta! And that there on the other side of you is my mate, Benny!” Turning, I peeked at the male wolf beside me. He had strawberry blonde hair and the palest grey eyes I may have ever seen.“Glad you could join us, Luna!” He exclaimed warm-he
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Good Girl
POV: EchoThe training grounds were on the opposite side of the pack house from the hospital, and the warriors stretched on the field while James began explaining his plan for me. I wasn’t sure if his plan seemed ridiculously light, or like it was going to be impossible.Most of it was varying stretching and yoga poses, which made sense for warming up and beginning the workout. Then he wanted me to lightly, and he emphasized lightly, jogging one lap around the field before coming back and doing 10 seconds of arm circles, 15 seconds of marching in place with high knees, and 2 seated leg lifts with each leg and 2 seated leg lifts with both at the same time and then a few stretches to loosen up after the work up.That’s it, that was all. I had never done so much exercise at once before, but I had worked hard every day while in Red Stone to maintain the pack house. I couldn’t tell if I’d even be able to do all of the laid-out exercises or not. And I knew from listening to the males growin
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Completing the Bond
POV: EchoThe perfect temperature of hot water cascaded over my scalp and down my back as Atlas placed me in front of him under the stream of water. He reached over my shoulders and moved the rest of my hair under the water.Watching him with curiosity, I raised an eyebrow at him as he reached over to the shelf and grabbed my bottle of citrus-scented shampoo. He smirked while he poured some into his hand, rubbing his hands together before reaching behind me and beginning to gently work it into my hair.Atlas leaned forward and captured my lips with his as he continued working his hands through my hair, massaging my scalp as he worked the shampoo through the roots. I gasped at the pleasurable tingles that made their way across my scalp when he gently grabbed a handful at the back of my head and tugged it to tilt my face up and deepen the kiss.Swallowing my moans as I turned into putty in his hands, he moved his mouth down my jaw and to my neck. Paying extra attention to the most sensi

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
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Worse Than Death
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
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Raze
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
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Judge a Wolf's Appearance
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. I’d have expected better of the warri
