PIXIE
Pixie, he called me his Pixie. My mind was anything stable as I ran through the storm, his warmth had left me now and I suffered the cold but it was all for the best. The urge to ride him became stronger with every second I stayed in his presence.
I chucked, a tear rolling down my cheek when I realized my mate was actually the Alpha Asha. When I reach the gates to my pack mansion the large wolves at their posts only needed a whiff of my scent before the shielded me with their large forms and escorting me out for the storm.
“My father must not know about this!” I said to them. They looked at each other, then back at me before lowering their heads in obedience.
I tip tapped through the large castle, enjoying the warmth within the walls and glad I was finally away from the painful hail. Like a ninja I slowly twisted the knob of my room door but it was opened from inside and I was yanked in by my Amber.
“Gawd Penelope! Where have you been?!” She was worried, I could see the fear in her eyes as she ran me over with a very large towel.
“I was out looking for you…!” I spat. “Is father awake?”
“No, he came to check on you a while ago and I had to tuck myself into your bed so he didn’t suspect!” That’s Amber, always doing the most. We had been together for as far back as I had memories. She was like a sister to me and we were the same age, both seventeen ( I was older with a few months though)
“You’re shaking Penelope… what’s wrong?” She asked and I avoided her gaze, my brief romance with Asha was still fresh in my mind, too fresh I could still feel the lingering of pleasure work through me soothingly. I loved him, it was odd, fast and totally ridiculous but I loved him. I needed him, I wanted to have him.
The Alpha was said to be a ruthless and brutal animals with no regards for the life of his enemies but with me just now he was gentle and kind, loving and charming. He hated my father and I knew that but if so then why didn’t he kill me? Our bond though it had just been formed was already so strong it was literally pulling me to go back under the storm and fall into his loving clutches.
“Your eyes… why are they so bright?”
I had gotten totally lost in my reverie I had forgotten that Amber was standing right in front of me.
Without warning she yanked the towel from my body, I spun on the spot before she had her face sniffing on my body.
She stepped back, her hands to her nose.
“You didn’t only go to find me in that storm did you?”
I kept silent, my heat racing.
“Who is he? Who is he Penelope TALK!!!” I hated it when she got all serious, when she switched to ‘mother-mode’ and commanded me about.
“Look it’s not what you think!”
“Did he touch you without your consent?”
“No!”
She gasped. Looking at me through new eyes.
“You’ve found your mate!”
I hurriedly hushed her.

When morning came I was devastated to have been woken up from the dream I was reliving the previous night with Asha. His tall, muscular frame was as sexy as it was manly. The glint in his eyes was merely a love glint to me and when he had touched my neck, oh gawd when he lay his fingers softly on my neck.
Amber who had woken me up had a rather glum look on her face.
Today is the day for my coronation, after today all I had to do was find a mate and the kingdoms affairs would be handed over to me, my father governing my every move at his best.
I had refused to tell Amber the name of my mate even when she tried the puppy eyes trick on me which had always worked.
“Penelope…?” She said. I rubbed my hands on my eyelids, wondering what could make her so sad so early in the morning, and my long blonde strands were all over my face.
“Amber, I already told you I won’t reveal who my mate—”
“After today that would be the least of your worries…”
I stared at her blankly, wondering what she had meant by that.
“What do you mean?”
“See for yourself…”
She handed me a folded parchment. “I stole that from your fathers desk, I think it’s worth you take a look at it.”
The wax seal was already broken and I rolled opened the small letter, it read;
To the Alpha Silva
Advanced congratulations on your daughters coronation ceremony. As we know my packs presence would humbly grace your halls for the announcement of the joining of our packs…
I scanned through, hoping this was not what I thought it was.
…and I am grateful for the gift you have bestowed upon my pack with the betrothment of your daughter and my son Alpha Dwight—
“What is this?!” I shrieked!
The sudden sound of my voice startling Amber and she shook with freight.
A betrothal? And worst behind my back! My father, the Alpha, he was responsible, only he could do something like this!
Alpha Dwight, the Alpha of the north.
“You know what this means right?” Amber was tensed as well.
My mate, the bond, last night, Alpha Asha! I loved him, I needed him even if we had just met it was obvious we were meant for each other, we needed each other.
He said he’d come, he’d be watching. What happens when my father announces my betrothal in my mates presence? Asha is dangerous, he might cause a commotion or worst he might attack Dwight.
This betrothal. This changes everything!
ASHA-Two weeks ago-Though I was not a particularly older wolf, I had not been the type to cower in fear.Obviosuly not the type of fear that would make one lose his breath of or that would make a wolf squirm and retreat in freight.So far I had been a ruthless, strong and proud Alpha. Being the Alpha meant I had to bear the weight of my packs desires and let go of mine.But what was best for my pack was something I would normally rather slit my own throat than considering. To kill the Alpha Silva, my fathers only powerful rival.My father owned the south, he had destroyed neighboring packs, taking their lands and killing anyone who stood in his way. It was how he remained on top. It was how he remained Alpha.My paws pounded into the earth as I swept across the boarders, WormWhicks smaller wolf tried to keep up with mine. The little man always stalked behind me like a shadow, I knew it was my father who had put him up to it, ever since Noami died.I sped up, my nose perceiving and o
PIXIE-1 week, 6 days ago-The wolves around me cheered and screamed with excitement, a nightly brawl was something most of them found interesting but not me.I enjoyed my company alone a lot more than I did with others. My father, Alpha Silva, had made several attempts to make me interact with other wolves though I knew it was all to get me to find a mate. I would be turning eighteen in two weeks time, soon I would have to take over as Alpha of the Silvamoon pack from my father but not without a mate.I had found it hard to to deal with courting, frankly I had not had any romantic relationship with a man, the exception being Dwight but that was years ago before he left to the North and cut contact with me. I knew I still had feelings for him, though we did not share the mate bond it was obvious he was the closest I ever had to a lover.I shifted in my seat, uncomfortable and wondering how in hell they enjoyed watching two wolves tear themselves to pieces. Amber sat with me, she seeme
PIXIEContinuationI was entranced by him, his scent, the muscles in his back, golden hair. My feet carried me towards Dwight, it was an awkward moment for me and even if I had not seen him for five years I still felt like I knew him very well.But when he turned his eyes for not hold the same warm and loving gaze they did when he held me close in that dim corridor. He did not smile back like how he did in the arena, his face held no blush and he wrinkled his nose in a way that suggested disgust.I stopped, looking at the man before me and wondering if it was even the same person but there was no mistaking it, this indeed was Dwight.The flare I had in my chest quickly turned into a dark cloud and for some reason the way he stared at me; like he was looking at an adversary.The he spoke, said the words that seemed to cut me like a blade across the chest.“Five years and you still haven’t found your mate!” His voice still resonated in my head even if I was now beside Amber again.It wa
PIXIE-1 week ago-I had not left my room for a full five days, the mornings were colder than usual and I had this disturbing churning in my belly whenever I thought of leaving my bed and bumping into Dwight somewhere in my home.Amber had brought me anything I wanted, food, water, fresh air in a bag that shed force me to breath in and we would end up tussling about and falling off the bed to the ground.“Who was that bitch anyway?” I asked, chewing hungrily on a turkey-meat sandwich, there had been a constant ache in my head, one that made me dizzy and was backed by a hollowness in my chest, altogether it made me feel I was constantly being eaten up from the inside out. Maybe this was an effect of a mate rejection, maybe this is how I would be feeling for the rest of my life and the possibility of that only made me feel much worst.“I don’t know, she not from our pack though, must be his lover from the North.”The word ‘lover’ almost brought me to tears again. I paused my chewing for
PIXIE-1 day ago-I had myself curled up in bed again, not wanting to leave because I knew I might just bump into Dwight or his bitch Luna. I had my door locked, ignoring my mother when she came calling and I couldn’t help but hate her for even talking to Dwight’s Luna, it only made me feel even more less than I already was.There was a different kind of peace in my solace, I had stayed in my room for the most of the day only getting off my bed to brush and shower before I went right back, the only food I had eaten were the snack Amber had bright in some days ago. It was a good thing she had packed up a whole week worth of snacks if not I would I have probably eaten up my my bedsheet out of livid hunger.I just couldn’t help it, seeing Dwight brought my wolf to life. I hated how I reacted whenever I did as much as thought about him, about them, Dwight and his Luna to be. I hadn’t even known the girls name yet I had already painted her red in my mind which was one of the reasons I had
ALPHA ASHA-1 day ago-Handling the pack affairs while having to deal with an assassination were not the worst things that could happen to me but it was definitely becoming a burden.I was at the edge of my pack borders, I usually did come here to pretend talk to Naomi. This was the last place I had seen her alive, struggling to hang on but ultimately asking for death.I had already screamed my voice out before ramming my fists into the hard bark of a tree. The pain was what I needed like an anchor to keep me rooted. My father was right, I was indeed losing my mind. All this wouldn’t have happened if the dammed Alpha Silva had just kept wolves in check. I would still have Naomi and I wouldn’t be feeling myself slipping away with every passing day.My knuckles bled and I only stopped when the skin was completely peeled out and my bone were exposed.Tired, I fell back to the ground, heaving and staring at the white sun above. It was too early in the morning for me to be this away from m
ALPHA ASHAI rocked my mid against Aylas ass, my cock throbbing on her back. She moaned with need when I slipped my finger onto her wetness, arching her back even further when I stroked downwards, practically begging me to fuck her and oddly this appeased and disgusted me at the same time.Ayla would have been my choice if I had not met Naomi, the history we had together could be described as warm hugs and slow kisses. But it was pure, our love had been pure even if we never shared that mating bond, not even a sliver of it, it was still pure. Naomis family moved to my pack from the North, isolate wolves looking for a new pack they could join. My father, being the ruthless leader he was inducted Naomis father for hard labour into the mines in exchange for their living. But when I saw the foreigner, her scent was the first thing that tranced me. When I saw Naomi I just knew she was the one, it was like our souls spoke to each other. That was something I had never felt before, not even w
ALPHA ASHAThough this wad supposed to be a meeting about the security of out borders I had not expected it to turn around so fast. My father had his hand planted firmly on my shoulder as he spoke, his aura, superior, suppressed mine but I still had my eyes on Ayla, she had gotten lucky, something that would not happen again.I resumed mu seat, my father stood beside me. Clearly he had something important to say because he was not supposed to be here in the first place.“I greet you all, my apologies for such an impromptu entry but I bring information. Information that would be better only shared with a small group of people.”He turned his eyes to me, a grin on his face that I knew all too well. Whatever it was he was about to say was probably going to be something to aid his malicious plans.“The enemy Alpha of the west, Alpha Silva, is holding a coronation for his daughter, Penelope Silva…”My heart skipped a beat, a cool cloak of horror dressing over me. I shifted in my seat, my
PIXIEThe sun casted its golden rays upon the south, blessing it withs its divine touch. Today was no ordinary day, for the first time in history, the South, the West and the North all sat around one large round table. My father, though not looking totally impressed sat beside grand-Alpha Asha. Dwight, who looked like he had had better days, sat beside his father, the orange haired Alpha that had betrayed my father looked just like I had last saw him so many years ago, except this time he hah shaved his beard and thus looked years younger.I sat beside Asha, my hand on his arm, the metals of his wheelchair sheening under the soft light from the chandelier, his wheelchair was always scrubbed clean by Tristan. We were all present, all ruling parties under one roof, a treaty so big the parchment stretched from one end of the table to the other was lay on the table.The treaty was a declaration for peace, though not covering eternity but for as long as the grand-Alphas and Alphas after th
How waging war against my pack was a solution for the Alpha Silva to bring his daughter to him was still a mystery to me, though it also brought a lot of answers. Griffins attack had not only proven that the Silva pack had nothing to do with the attack that led to the death of Naomi, it had also proven that it was wolves from Griffins pack that had attacked.It gave me a sick feeling in my gut just thinking about it, I had been so blinded by rage that I had actually considered killing Alpha Silva when he was innocent of any conflict that had led to Naomi’s death, instead, the wolf I should have held responsible was held securely in a cellar, immune to death from my maw and awaiting a brawl.It was like these last few hours had opened my eyes and changed my view on anything I had thought to be true. Keeping my mind on the sentries that tried to kill me while also processing the magnitude of fucked everything truly seemed impossible and I found myself in an awkward situation of wrestlin
PIXIEI could feel the smirk on griffins voice as he spoke, a smirk that was just as threatening as his growls and I wanted nothing more than for Asha to end the wolf once for all just like how Amber had ended Gloria.I stared at Asha from behind, we all did, waiting for him to do it, to deliver the finishing blow and finally put an end to this long fought war.‘Release him!’ Asha said and I could relate to the defiant growl Ayla gave in protest, Griffin was no pup, he was far too dangerous to be given any sort of leverage as he could take the slightest advantage and take a killing blow at soneone’s throat.‘Release him…’ Asha said again and I could feel his aura upon us, commanding Ayla to do as he said.Ayla and Jared released their hold on Griffin, and he ruffled like a cold bird when he stood.‘Make a move and I’ll destroy you!’ Asha said,‘I know…’ Griffin retorted.Asha turned his attention to me and his eyes went soft, Amber backed away slightly when he came closer to me and he
ALPHA ASHAThe I could feel the smirk on griffins voice as he spoke, a smirk that made the urge I had to break his neck intensify a hundred times fold.It was rather stupid not to have ended him on the spot, but at the same time I could feel the stares of Pixie and Amber boring into my back, waiting for my next move.‘Release him!’ I said at once, drawing a defiant growl from Ayla.‘Release him…’ I said again, but this time my words were laced with venom.Ayla and Jared let go of their hold on Griffin, the Alpha ruffled up when he stood.‘Make a move and I’ll destroy you!’‘I know…’ he said.I turned my attention back to Pixie, Amber backed away slightly when I came closer to my mate and I nuzzled at her sides, the cuts on her sides were still very fresh and I guessed her healing was slowed almost to a halt because of the exhaustion, the fact that she had even survived Griffin alone was still a mystery. My attention was drawn to a hulking form that lay a few meters in the shadow.It o
PIXIEI tried to blink the dark spots from my vision, trying to understand that the pain wasn't from Griffin sinking his teeth into my neck; it was his weight that had slammed into my injured body.Amber had charged at him, breaking free of the fear that he held over her and tackling him to the ground. Griffin howled in shock, his pain splitting into a snarl as he spun mid-fall and tore into Amber's exposed throat. He ripped her off of him and threw her across the room, staggering away from me. I spotted the silver glint of a scalpel protruding from his broad back.I fought to get to my feet again, my side bleeding heavily where Griffin's claws had torn through my skin.Pain riddled my body as I stood, shaking and icy from the loss of blood. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep going for much longer. And it didn't seem like help was on its way, either. I was alone, facing Griffin and his crazed eyes as he circled me once more.I had an unsettling sense blanket down over me, and I underst
PIXIEWhimpering as she crawled to my side, Amber nosed at my snout.I was panting, breathing hard from the exertion, the pain from shifting too fast, only adding to the agony of Gloria's claws. I couldn't shift back just yet, knowing that the pain would be far worse in my human form.And I did not know what was happening outside. I didn't know if more wolves were approaching to attack or if Gloria and her plan had failed.So I stayed in my wolf form, cuddling against Amber, who had curled her body around me protectively. All her wounds had finally healed, much to my relief, and Gloria hadn't been able to land a single blow. Amber had always been talented in battle, and she'd successfully taken on most of the males back home and come out victorious.Amber glanced at Jonah, who was still lying motionless on the floor. I hoped with all my heart that it was only a sedative that Gloria had forced into his system. I could pick up his faint breaths, his heartbeat slow but definitely still t
PIXIE"Not so dumb after all," Gloria applauded sarcastically. "Yes, Griffin is the son of a murdered Alpha, the Alpha that Asha killed in blind rage and cold blood.""They were rogues," I defended, refusing to allow Gloria to speak lie upon lie about Asha. "They attacked Asha's pack and slaughtered his mate!""And Asha should have died with his mate," Gloria growled. "But no matter, that's all in the past. Now, Griffin has the perfect plan to make him suffer for what he did.""What the hell have you done?""He made me a deal," she grinned. "If I helped him infiltrate Asha's pack, he'd kill you. And I would be the only one who could help Dwight through the pain of losing his stupid lover, and Asha would suffer the same agony twice before Griffin ended him.""You're a monster," I whispered, tears hot on my cheeks. "Both of you.""I think we're pretty clever," Gloria shrugged. "You have to admit, it's an excellent plan. I just can't believe how easily you fell for my act. But I knew you
PIXIEWith Jonah's full weight slumped against me, I could barely breathe."Jonah," I groaned,whimpering in pain. "Jonah, are you okay?"He didn't answer, and I felt his body sliding to the floor, my gut clenching in fear. "Jonah, what the hell is going on?"His body finally collapsed to the floor with a subdued groan, and I cried out, falling to the floor with him. I spotted the syringe sticking out of his neck and gasped, my eyes flying up to find Gloria standing over us."Gloria?" I whispered, getting back to my feet very slowly, my thoughts running wild and fast, maybe a little too fast for me to even focus on one thought for long enough."Useless doctor," Gloria spat, kicking Jonah's ribs viciously with a nasty leer on her face."He should have known better than to interfere."An icy fear settled in my gut as Gloria glared at me, hatred sparking in her eyes. I desperately tried to open Amber’s door, but it was still locked. I searched around for the keys, finding them inches fro
PIXIEThe rogues were all around us, closing in as Asha howled his warning to the pack. I could hear them dropping their kills in a rush to support their Alpha, but I did not know how far out they were, or if they'd make it in time.I dipped low and lunged forward without a thought, snapping my jaws at a rogue who got too close to Asha's throat. I handed control over to my wolf, desperate to protect my mate, my Alpha, from the surprise rogue attack. My wolf sprang into action, my thoughts devolving into a steady string of "protect, defend, protect, defend', and my movements became more fluid. I was able to take in more information this way, with my wolf at the wheel. I counted the incoming wolves and watched each of them fall at Asha's feet. The only command I gave my wolf was to deny the urge to crawl under him to protect his exposed throat.I had to stay out of his way; I could already sense his panic and concern for my wellbeing through the bond. And I knew that he be better equipp
