ALPHA ASHAJared kicked me up from sleep, I had already pounced on him in a livid rage before I identified his scent— somehow he had found this hilarious enough to laugh even as my wolf was only an inch away from snapping his throat like a cracker.“Get out of that form Asha, you look hilariously stupid.” He chortled, cleaning off dust and grime from his puffer jacket. “You really like it damp and wet don’t you.”My wolf gave the most ‘you’re disgusting’ look at him and I was sure he understood it.“Oh don’t give me that look! You know I’m saying the truth.” He picked a small rock from the ground, cleaning it off sand and dirt.Slowly my bones fractured and refixed, my face and jaws shrinking as my ribs and lungs shrank as well. When I breathe in again I’m standing on two feet, a small circle of fur at my feet.“You’re shedding…”“And you shouldn’t be here!”He shrugged, throwing the rock he had picked from the ground at my face and I dodged it ease.“I see you’re still fast.”“Oh ple
PIXIEMy legs were weak in the knees as I squeezed through the guests. He was here, his scent was still very fresh.“You sure about this?” Amber asked, struggling to keep up with me. I nodded, not wanting to raise too much attention to myself but the guests attention wasn’t even on me nor on the plentiful food and drinks, they were all discussing something else. Maybe his presence had spooked them enough to get them all on board with on topic.Even if I had not yet seen him yet I knew he was close, his scent was still thick in the air. He was here and somehow that did not excite me like I would have thought it should. It scared me. My father may have postponed my my betrothal to Dwight but Dwight was still here, in this place. And Dwight was as ferocious as they come. I had literarily seen him toss a wolf that was his size about the arena like the wolf was a rag doll. Who knows what would happen if he meets Asha. It would for sure not be good, and I would be in the center of it all.S
ALPHA ASHAMy annoyance only grew the longer I spied through the guests. I could perceive her scent but I could not see her.“You sure she’s here?” Jared asked, I could tell he was getting tired of returning glares and scowls.“She’s here Jared! I just know it. What I don’t know is why she’s trying to avoid me.”“Maybe she ain’t feeling you the way you think?”“Trust me she is.”Her scent grew faint, dissipating quicker and it was suffocating because I could not leave where I stood and prance through the guests without someone taking my movements as an excuse to start a brawl.I spotted the same grey eyes like before, the Alpha was a tall I was, big, broad shoulders and a look that clearly said he did not like my presence here. Those eyes. I had seen those eyes before. But where?“That punk?” Jared scoffed, you could take that guy in your sleep. Dwight must have been close to my age, though I doubted he had had any real territorial brawls that left scars on his back like the ones on m
ALPHA ASHAThe crowd of guests parted like the red see as I ran through. I could see the small trail of blood Jared had left and I could only hold my my wolf back for long enough until I got outside before it rippled my being and in a second I had ragged up my clothes as my enormous form landed on all fours.My head spun as I tramped on, flashing visions of Naomi and Pixie covered in blood alternated in my head so fast the ground swayed beneath my feet and I fell over more times than I could count.Their scents were still in the air, Jared, Pixie. The trail of blood she left was my anchor to tracking them. They couldn’t have gotten too far, right? How long had I been in there?I jumped over two sentries that guarded the main entrance. They barely had time to register what had happened before I was gone.If not for Amber… if not for Amber I feared not for Dwight but for myself, the way I had screamed at Jared to take her outside, when I grabbed Dwight, the rage was hot, fueled by a lot
ALPHA ASHAWhether the strange Alpha had planned to ambush me or not, I tried not to think about it. My paws struck the ground with double the force and I ran twice as fast, catching on to their scents and that was my motivation to run even faster.I rounded up a large fenced compound, the scents led inside. Without hesitation or care for whether this compound was guarded by sentries or not, I leaped over the gate, landing with a heavy thud. I swept my eyes to either side of the mansion, no sentry, no wolves. Then it hit me, a sudden and very strong wave of nostalgia. My wolf cocked it head to the side, trying to understand whether this was real or I had finally started hallucinating; this mansion was an exact replica of my pack house in the south.Someone was behind me. I snapped back, a low but menacing growl rumbling my throat.“Cool down cousin…” Jared stepped closer, my wolf wagged its tail instinctively on seeing my goofy cousin.“You don’t need to fret, she’s alright. WormWhick
ALPHA ASHAI lay wide awake, turning to look at her as she slept from time to time. She tucked in her legs backing me, her breath whispery and hushing when she breathed. My wolf lay its head down, at peace that she was safe beside me.The time was thirty minutes past eleven. She had fallen asleep after her friend left, her eyes had been heavy and it was obvious she needed to regain lost strength after what had happened at her pack- house. The air was cool and dry, it blew through the windows tussling the curtains. Pixie stirred in her. She turned, placing a hand on my chest and murmuring something under her breath. My palm could cover around her wrist almost forming a fist, she was so small, delicate, everything about her precious and little. How could anyone not want to be with her?The ticks from the small clock on the wall were loud now that it was so quiet. This is how it had been for me back the south, lying awake till midnight and counting the clock ticking until I tired myself
ALPHA ASHAWhen morning came I was already in the kitchen, WormWhick was keeping close to me, inspecting my pancake recipe with all seriousness. These were the same pancakes he made for us when we were pups, Jared would steal mine from my plate and I would have to chase him around the house only for him to eat it up before he blows raspberries in my face. I’d be at the verge of crying and beating him the fuck up before WormWhick would swoop in and offer me another bowl of pancakes, that was always Jareds saving grace.“My my something smells good!” Jared stalked into the kitchen with a tired yawn. “Making pancakes Cous?”“Yhup.” I said, not knowing if I should remove the egg yolks or add them to the mix.Jared bent over the bowl right when WormWhick cracked the egg, yolk and transparent jelly falling into the dough.“Got it, thanks.” I told WormWhick.“Been a while I had these…” Jared smiled with a greedy nod.“If you learn how to make ‘em you’d be having them everyday!” I sneered, tu
PIXIENever had I ever felt so much pleasure, the lingering of sex still making me feel energetic and I could not evade the randy thoughts of being cooped up in a bathroom with Asha next.When he sucked my nipples that alone was almost enough to make me cum, I bucked my hips, oddly and insatiably feeling the need for that satisfaction pulse between my legs. I pushed and pulled on his head, wanting it but at the same time breaking down when the pleasure climbed too much and pushing him away. I heard myself moaning like it was a foreigners voice, this me was so strange I had not thought it even existed“You like that baby?” Asha croaked, the word ‘like was an understatement for what I felt.“Asha… yes…” Those were the only words that came to my mind, he might as well already be fucking me because whatever he was doing to my breast with his tongue was closely yielding the same result and he had already managed to whisk away any sense of reasoning in my head. I pulled him closer instead,
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
