TANGLED TAILS AND HEARTS 65
“And I am pleased to inform you that the elders approved her,” Ferix said to the council members, and all of them left the room.“No qualms, Alpha, but I hate your pack council,” Ferix had said to Vincent, who was walking by her side while Maverick and Aurora walked side by side in front of them.“You won’t love Maverick’s pack council either; it is like those people were made specifically to be douchebags,” Vincent replied as the elevator doors had closed.Maverick and Aurora remained silent. Neither of them speak while Vincent and Ferix go back and forth about matters of the pack and the building they wanted to construct.“Ferix and I have some other things to discuss. We’ll see you both at a later date. I think the contract signing process is already over now. We just wait a bit, and everything will be finalized. My beta will contact you, Maverick,” Vincent said, and Maverick nodded. “It was really nice meeting you. I meant it sincerely this time, not in the business way. It was re

Aurora knew that she was losing, and fast, but she was putting up a good fight too. She would be damned before she let these people take her away to do God knows what.“Bitch, you’re up to it again,” one of the vampires said, and Aurora raised her brow with a cocky smirk. But there were a lot of wounds in places she could point to, and others that she knew she would only discover later.This fight would have been fairer if she had a normal wolf healing ability, but since she was an omega and her wolf was absent, her healing rate was a lot slower than a regular wolf’s.“Of course, what else did you expect when you brought five of you, even though you expected me to be very out of it?” she said, and the werewolf scoffed.“You’re really made for that damn man. You two are ridiculously cocky,” he said, gesturing to Maverick, who was still leaning on the car, and Aurora shrugged.“Well, you guys don’t make it hard to be cocky,” Aurora said, using a speed spell, and before any of the witche

Aurora struggled to drag Maverick through the door and into the bedroom. Supporting his drunk weight, she grunted, “Why the hell are you so heavy? Is it normal for lycans, or is it just because you’re an asshole?”Of course, he didn’t reply. All he managed was incoherent gibberish that meant nothing to her.He had sobered up slightly and was muttering nonsense, but he was still far too intoxicated. There was no way the cocky Lycan King would have let her carry him all the way from the car, through the lobby, up the elevator, and into the room if he had been in his right mind.Aurora exhaled heavily as she threw Maverick onto the bed. She adjusted her clothes and stared at him tiredly. It seemed The Seekers had decided not to follow her. She hadn’t encountered them on her way home after Taylor and Cali came to her rescue.As she turned to leave, she paused, glancing back at him. He still had his shoes on, along with his coat and other layers that would make sleeping uncomfortable. She w

Aurora hesitated, and Maverick turned to look at her with a raised brow. He waited for her to continue, but she kept faltering.“What?” he asked, and she quickly looked away.“Uh… Tha… Thanks for yesterday,” she finally said, but he continued to stare at her as if he couldn’t make sense of what she was saying. “I learned from those people that the drink was meant for me, and you went ahead and drank it. It would have been dangerous for you if it had been poisonous,” she continued, but he only shrugged.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he replied simply, opening the door. He got out of the car, and Aurora opened her side and stepped out as well. She knew he understood what she was saying but was choosing to let it rest, which was probably for the best. Still, she was grateful.“If anything, I should be the one thanking you. You took care of me when I was drunk—that’s no easy feat,” he said with a small smile. Aurora chuckled, a blush creeping onto her cheeks as she remembered t

Aurora fastened her seatbelt as Maverick turned on the engine. “So, what is that thing you used to identify the Blood Moon members?” she asked curiously.“That’s a trade secret. I’m not sharing it with you,” Maverick replied, smirking. “Figure it out on your own.”Aurora scoffed in disbelief. “You’re cheeky,” she said, shaking her head.He merely shrugged as he pulled onto the road. “Vincent doesn’t seem to be involved with The Seekers,” she noted.“No, he isn’t,” Maverick agreed. “What isn’t clear is whether the Blood Moon Pack is working with them or if it’s The Seekers pretending to be members of the pack.”“Or maybe they’ve bought off some of the pack members, or already have a foothold in that pack. The possibilities seem endless,” Aurora suggested thoughtfully.Maverick nodded. “I’ll feel safer when we’re back at the pack,” she added.“We’ll fly out later today,” he said.“I thought we were waiting until tomorrow,” she remarked, surprised.“Not anymore. We’ll pack our things whe

“A little birdie told me about what you were doing, Alpha Maverick, and I have to commend you as the nuttiest person of the year,” Stephanie said with an eye roll, but Maverick didn’t reply to her.“You tell him, what the fuck is his problem?” Alec asked, and Maverick sighed but still didn’t respond to his best friend. “You’re pulling yourself into trouble with all these shits you’re up to these days,” Alec added.“I don’t think it’s only Maverick to blame here. There’s also Aurora, who agreed to be friends,” Anabella said, and Alec groaned in irritation.“It takes two to tangle,” Stephanie added.“Two?” Alec scoffed with an annoyed frown. “Forget about it. He’s capable of making one tangle on its own. With him, it takes one to tangle.”“Moving to the next matter at hand, The Seekers are up to something not funny at all,” Maverick said, steering the conversation back to the issue.“And what does that have to do with us?” Alec asked with a shrug.“They might have something to do with t

They sat in their positions until Sally returned with a box in her hands. Dropping it on the table, she glanced at the two of them, sighed heavily, and opened the box.Sally began removing various items: papers, hairpins, bracelets, rings, and some tiny crystals. Paying no mind to most of them, she eventually paused, staring at the contents before pulling out a stack of photos lying face down. Turning one over, she gazed at it, her eyes watering.With shaky hands and a sniffle, she handed the photo to Aurora.Aurora stared at the man in the picture. He had the same hair color as hers, the same olive skin, lively brown eyes, and a big smile that could likely light up the entire Moonlight Pack. He wore denim jeans, a white top, and a brown leather jacket. His man bun was adorned with many hairpins and held together by a shiny hairband that seemed oddly familiar to Aurora. Rings decorated his fingers, and he held a beautiful, sparkly wand in his hand.He looked so happy and vibrant. From

"Saxton Thorne Devlin," Floyd began, sitting in his designated chair in the meeting room of the building assigned to the Night Pack. His eyes were fixed firmly on the document in his hand, and his posture was relaxed. "The sixteenth Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack and the worst of all the Alphas before him. Exceptionally cruel, he seems to have some kind of vendetta against our pack and has been eyeing our territory for years. He’s now confirmed to be working with The Seekers. He has a mate, Phoebe Brian Devlin, a former member of the Moonlight Pack, but their relationship is terrible. He hardly considers her important."Floyd continued, "His Beta, Rees Caiden, has been his best friend for the past thirteen years. Saxton has no parents, and there are rumors he killed his own father, though nothing has been confirmed.""That’s highly possible," Jared chimed in. "I doubt the former Alpha would have just given up his power to his son willingly. Dorian Devlin was known for his greed and blo

Ferix had run into the man he had come to this side of the city for, and the man had delayed him with talks that Ferix had paid absolutely no attention to. He just wanted to get away.Telling Aurora how he felt hadn’t been a good idea, and he was aware of that, but he couldn’t help it.At that moment, with her eyes lightened up and the laugh he knew he had caused, he had just blurted it out. Nothing good was going to come from it, because even though they were not particularly lovers, it didn’t excuse the fact that they were still mates.“The look on your face tells me that you’ve done something stupid,” he heard and raised his head to see Carly standing off to the side, almost blending with the shadows.“I haven’t done anything stupid!” he snapped at her, and she scoffed.“You’ve definitely done something stupid, so tell me what it was that you did.”“I didn’t do anything. So what the fuck are you doing here?” Ferix asked, walking to where he had parked his car, and Carly tailed afte

“Then I would contact you later,” Maverick said into the phone before he disconnected the call.“Maverick?!” Someone called his name with a loud shrill, and he was forced to turn in the direction of the person who was screaming so loudly in the hospital.“OMG! It’s really you!” she exclaimed as she moved toward him. Maverick was surprised to see the receptionist from the hotel at Eastwood Pack in his pack, but he hid his surprise quite well.“Hi, Carly,” Maverick said, and her eyes brightened when she discovered that the man recognized her.“It’s so nice to see you again!” she exclaimed, and Maverick was almost forced to tell her to calm down, but he held it down.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“I’m here to visit my cousin and have been here for quite some time, but I didn’t have any hope of seeing you since you’re the Alpha and all, but here you are! In the fucking plain sight!” she continued in her shrill voice, already wrapping her arms around Maverick’s and pushing herself c

“I can take care of it here,” Aurora said, but Maverick didn’t pay any attention to her as he continued walking towards the car, her hand in his as he dragged her along.“Seriously, it’s nothing huge, just a bit of cotton, bandages, and a couple of pain relief pills would help,” Aurora insisted, but he just opened the car and sat her down.“You have to recognize the fact that I’m a werewolf too, I have healing abilities too!” she exclaimed.“Healing abilities that are very slow, you forget that part,” Maverick finally replied as he sat behind the wheel. “Just look at yourself in the mirror. Only heaven knows how many bones you’ve broken, your face is all bruised up, and I’m sure your arm is aching from the amount of shooting you’ve done today.”“It’s not as bad as it looks,”“I believe the decision is up to me,” he said. “Now, you’ll sit still like a good girl and let me drive you to the hospital so that Sadie can check you up. I don’t want to hear what you think.”Aurora glared at hi

“You weren’t nice,” Aurora commented, and the woman smirked.“I thought I told you, you were the one who wasn’t taking me seriously,” she replied nonchalantly, taking pride in Aurora’s busted lips.“Then, pardon me for being rude too,” Aurora replied as the woman moved towards her. This time, both of them were merciless. They hit each other fast and hard, barely giving the other a chance to recover before delivering the next blow, but Aurora seemed to be on the winning side, while the other woman was getting tired.Aurora delivered a blow to her jaw, adding another bruise to her already bruised face. She grabbed the woman, who was still sputtering, and flipped her over her shoulder, throwing her on the floor hard. The sound of bones breaking made some of the werewolves on the field cringe. They watched as Aurora cleaned the blood on her lips and face with the back of her hands before groaning when she remembered that she must have dirtied it more because her knuckles were all bruised

Aurora stared at the numerous werewolves scattered across the part of the field that had been designated as the training ground. Many of them were warming up, while others chatted amongst themselves. The Night Pack members stood apart from the members of the Moonlight Pack, none of them willing to familiarize themselves with the others just yet.The Night Pack wouldn’t make the first move, especially since the members of the other pack didn’t show the standard amount of respect for their leader. While they didn’t openly disrespect Aurora, they also didn’t hold her in high regard. Many of them believed that without her spells, she wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Her reliance on magic was something the men, whose pride lay in their strength, found hard to respect.“Good morning,” Maverick’s voice rang out across the field, commanding immediate attention. Even Aurora turned to glance at him.His tone was nothing like the one he used when speaking to her. This voice was authoritativ

Aurora walked into the playroom after searching the entire mansion for her assistant and almost groaned when she saw Layla and Zach making out intensely on the couch. They were so lost in each other that neither of them noticed her presence. Tilting her head to the side, she observed them for a moment, shook her head, and then loudly cleared her throat.They finally broke apart. Zach tried to move away from his mate to face Aurora properly, but Layla pinned him down with her body, glaring at Aurora.“Can’t you just go on your way without interrupting us?” Layla snapped.“Can’t you just find somewhere else to do your dirty deeds? Thank god there are no kids here. They’d be blinded by your antics,” Aurora said, sitting on the couch opposite them. Layla’s scowl deepened.“What do you want?” Layla asked begrudgingly. Aurora scoffed at her grumpiness before reaching for the box she had brought. She placed it on the table, opened it, and watched as Layla leaned forward to examine its conten

Aurora halted when she saw Phoebe sitting in front of her, hands draped on her waist. The woman wore a spaghetti strap top and a tight skirt that accentuated her figure.“I have absolutely no idea what the hell you are on about,” Aurora said casually. She was at a restaurant, trying to tail Jerry’s movements. Anabella had informed them during the meeting that a mail had arrived for Jerry two days ago. She had checked it and found only a cryptic note:It will get delivered at Jay Restaurant and Pub at three o’clock, eastside.Aurora had arrived just in time to witness a man—likely a spy from one of the many packs—drop a small container into the trash bin. She retrieved it and discovered shiny, vibrant red rubies inside. Pocketing them, she quickly used her power to create a replica before returning to her table to eat.“Maverick and you are back together, aren’t you? You went on a date,” Phoebe said, interrupting Aurora’s thoughts.Aurora snickered. “So that’s what you’re talking about

Ferix sighed as he placed the glass cup on the counter once again. He pushed the bottle toward the bartender, who refilled it with one of the strong cocktails Ferix had absentmindedly picked when he arrived at the bar.His head was clearly not in the right place, and the lively bar continued on without him as if he weren’t even there. His mind wandered far away, no matter how much he tried to steer his thoughts elsewhere. He always ended up back to the same thing: Aurora. Specifically, the image of Maverick and Aurora sharing a quiet moment on the balcony and the kiss they’d shared in the car later that night.He’d been waiting for Aurora at the pack house, ready to leave when she didn’t show. But just as he was about to head home, the sight of them in the car caught him off guard. They were so lost in each other that neither of them noticed him standing there.He had asked himself countless times why he still liked Aurora despite knowing she had a mate. Back when they weren’t on good

“Why does it always have to be that man ruining our date at the park?” Aurora grumbled, her tone sharp as she crossed her arms. Maverick kept his focus on the road, his hands steady on the steering wheel.“At least now we know why he’s there now and possibly why he was there back then,” Maverick replied, his voice calm but thoughtful.“He came to meet with a member of the Blood Moon Pack eight years ago too?” Aurora asked, raising an eyebrow.“I can’t be certain it was the Blood Moon Pack back then, but I’m sure this park has been his meeting spot for a while. It’s lively, there’s often a crowd. A man his age walking into a trampoline park might seem odd, but not strange enough to attract real attention,” Maverick explained. Aurora nodded in agreement, her mind piecing things together.“That makes a lot of sense,” she admitted, placing a thoughtful hand under her chin.“You don’t seem that concerned about him being alive,” Maverick observed, glancing at her briefly.“I’m not,” she rep
