             “How are you feeling?” Nathan moved to sit on the side of her bed so he could see her better and feel her closer to him. He couldn’t resist reaching out to brush a strand of her hair from her eyes.

             “Now that everything has calmed down? Better, but exhausted. I didn’t realize how much we were living off of adrenaline. Can you believe this is over?” she awkwardly tried to lean forward to embrace him, but the wires wouldn’t let her, and he used a gentle hand to keep her still.

             “The simple part is over. Now we need to deal with the fallout.” He sighed heavily after he said these words. After what Helena said in passing, it would fall onto his shoulders to do just that. If they accepted the responsibility.

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Getting the Elder

    Davis finally found the elder Jillian called Aunty Mae. It took him several tries to find her cabin. She was definitely off the beaten path. It was dark, but she sat out front of her cabin sipping something from a mug so large it competed with her head for which was larger. He prayed that was tea and nothing stronger in it. Because he couldn’t hand three crazy wolves right now. “What have you flown this way so quickly, boy? I don’t like the look on your face. That look never bodes well for a relaxing evening.” Set her mug down beside her on the stoop of her cabin and stood to meet Davis. “I’m sorry to do this. But something odd is going on between the alphas and they are arguing. The only thing they appear to agree upo

    “I am sick of this. Every time I think we catch a break, and we can return to our day-to-day lives, something else is thrown at us. We have to stop the witch now. It’s not enough that the Blue Mountain Pack are decimated. Now she’s messing with ours. How many others are on her hit list?” Helena walked down the corridor toward Asia’s room again, frustrated at yet another incident ruining her peaceful life with her mates. She just wanted this all to end, and now this. Chris had to recover from this. It wasn’t just her that needed him, but Brian, too. “I wouldn’t be surprised if her goal is to make as much damaging chaos as possible throughout as many packs as possible. So how do we start this hunt?” Jillian put her phone away after reading the text messages to Helena that explained

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Setting Ground Rules

    Dimitri found his camp awake long before the sun was fully up. For wolves, that wasn’t unusual. Their way of life occurred much more organically than humans. Clocks weren’t as important to them, and the concept of time didn’t match with their need for urgency in different matters. This meant people dealt with what they prioritized rather than scheduling something to death and feeling like a failure. Today he and Jon would tell the pack some fundamental changes and let the chips fall where they may. He dreaded this and the damage it could do. The plan was solid in that it would protect the pups and all future pups of the pack. What would make people unhappy was when they admitted to them that Dimitri would not continue his line traditionally, because his mate wasn’t female. That or they were like the Black Dan

    “Where’s Helena? She needs to be here. I’m going out to find her. She’s not safe out there alone.” Chris was getting agitated again. He’d been like this off and on, and Brian was glad that Aunty Mae and Davis were there. Otherwise he was afraid he’d do something rash like knock Chris out. “Helena isn’t out there alone. She’s with Jillian, and she’s been texting me with information. Now the latest thing is Nathan pointed out that the only people who are affected are the people who touched Clarence. It appears he or something he wore could pass it to someone else, but the spell doesn’t pass from anyone else. He sites it was only the people Clarence fought who were affected, like Chris. The women and pups, mostly, were left unharmed. So, chances of there being an i

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Looking for Sleep Among Responsibility

    “I’m exhausted and need to find a place to sleep for a bit. Will you be alright here for the night?” Nathan rubbed at his face, trying to stay awake. He could barely see straight right now. Exhausted from running the woods for hours, like so many others. “Nathan, of course, I’ll be fine here and I’m sure there’s a place for the family to sleep nearby. Ask a healer or staff member. But once you have a few hours sleep, find Helena or one of her mates and offer to help them find the witch. If you’re even considering becoming the Blue Mountain Alpha, then that’s your territory and you must learn it from top to bottom. You should also know exactly who’s on the land at all times. Also, you’ll gain their favour and trust by helping them. While removing a problem from our ter

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   The Call Comes In

    It was getting late and with Chris being afflicted as he was, Helena received several warnings to stay away from the packhouse. Aunty Mae offered her cabin, as she’d stay at the packhouse and help Brian manage the situation there. Helena now sat comfortably in Aunty Mae’s cabin while Jillian went to the packhouse and packed overnight bags for them. Davis wasn’t happy about losing his mate for the night, but he was busy assisting Brian and Aunty Mae, keeping Chris distracted. No one wanted to deal with the complications of drugging him again. Their plan this time was to let him run out of steam and sleep it off. She didn’t know how well that was working out for them. She needed to keep her phone free for when the High Priest of the local coven returned her call. It’d been several hours now, and she&rsquo

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   The Speech’s Fallout

    Dimitri thought the speech went well. Jon was not as confident about it. The fallout made it’s appearance later in the morning. If they didn’t have enough trouble with a witch acting against them by leaving spelled traps for unaware wolves. Dimitri now dealt with fools wanting to change his mind. With questions like how many lovers, did he need? Why was he so selfish? Then he even got a comment from one person saying they couldn’t respect a leader that led with his dick. The only thing he was glad of was none of these wolves bore the responsibilities of having a prominent position within the pack. In fact, most did the bare minimum for the pack or others. Even Jon mentioned that as he heard from them. His take, though, was different. Jon believed these wolves were jealous, because they’d not found the courage

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   An End to a Long Day

    Chris was finally showing fatigue as he slowed his pace around the office. Aunty Mae sat in her straight-backed chair and watched his progress while everyone tried to predict how the plan would go and what Helena needed to be successful in this endeavour. Brian agreed with Chris, it should be them hunting the witch and not Helena. Aunty Mae didn’t agree with them. She pointed out that both have succumbed to her spells before and that made them more easily prone to future spells, with no form of protection. Aunty Mae wanted to wait until Helena called them, with the results of her conversation with the local coven’s leader. Brian could see the logic in that, but Chris wasn’t thinking clearly and vehemently made it know for quite some time that he didn’t want more witches involved. Aunty Mae, however, wav

    Life settled down for them after that, and a routine formed. Their pack understood their unique relationship. It helped when Alfred could come up with some documentation he’d found while doing his own study on their unique bond. It and Bethany fascinated the man became a friend to Helena and Jillian. Nathan and Asia eventually settled on a date to be formally accepted by their pack and to acknowledge their mating. It was something their pack needed to. Life for them soon became full of creating and building. Several of the lone wolves filtered in and requested a place within Nathan’s pack. Davis helped greatly with that because he could identify these lone wolves and vet their stories. By winter, there were enough homes to keep the Blue Mountain Pack safe from the elements. Money appeared out of the rambling and incomplete financial status. Helena didn’t look too closely, but she suspected several packs contributed funds and investments so that they could start agai

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Asia’s Take Away

    Asia now understood how much she didn’t know about wolf shifters and their society. The mating ceremony wasn’t elaborate, but there were meanings behind everything. Luck and good fortune were part of the reason everything was being done. Prosperity and abundance. She was told so many stories and traditions that her head spun from all of them. It was so different from what she’d learned in her time underground with them. The other women were afraid to speak of these things while Clarence was alive. Afterward, there were other things to think about. Now they were looking forward to the Alpha Acceptance Ceremony and their Mating Recognition Ceremony. It was so busy that most nights everyone went to bed exhausted to start again the next day. They could get the new packhouse built and several outbuildings so that they could winter with a roof over all their heads. They planned a school for the new year for all the packs in the area to send their pups, too. So the

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Jillian and Davis’ Mating Ceremony

    The pack came alive with the discovery of the celebration. These were things they lived for. Births, matings, and all the little cornerstones of member lives. They were a close knit family and community. This was something they could sink their proverbial teeth into. Presents weren’t necessary, but someone would always find something to bring.They planned a nighttime ceremony as tradition dictated and that gave most of the day to prepare the simple things for the ceremony.Dusk was falling and Helena cornered Jillian in her apartment to get ready. Davis took an hour and greeted those attending. Jillian fluttered about in a distracted and nervous state. Helena couldn’t figure out what would calm her down. But she started out with some logic.“First off. Here’s the dress. Let’s get you dressed. Honestly, you’d think Davis wasn’t yours already. At least, your instincts were smart enough to catch him. Everything is already recorded and technically, this is just to get your sister to leav

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Jillian and Davis Mating Ceremony Planned

    The work lunch was going well, but as the meeting came to an end, Chris noticed Jillian again adjusting the collar of her top. With a frown, he watched her for a little longer. “Is that a bite on your neck, Jillian?” Her response was to put her hand over the mark and blush. “It is! Well, I guess congratulations are in order for both of you. When are you planning to have your mating recognition ceremony?” “We’ll see. We’ve not set a date yet. There’s no hurry after all this stuff happening.” Jillian tried to take the pressure off of the subject, because she hoped they would drop it. “We’re going to have one as soon as it’s possible. No time to waste pretending things might change.” Davis interrupted Jillian’s uncomfortably nervous rambling to state the opposite of his mate’s words. “Davis! What are you talking about? We can’t do that. It’s too soon after all the deaths.” Jillian looked askance at Davis, unable to believe he’d said none of this to her

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   New Beginning in the Blue Mountains

    Nathan all but dragged himself back to the camp. He’d not fought all that much. It’d just been a long night. Too long if you asked him. But he represented the Blue Mountain Pack until the end. The witches would not all him to sit in and watch the trial. But he knew that witch and golem were now no longer a threat to the Blue Mountain. Now what would he do since the pack chose him to be their leader? Did he dare think of himself as the perfect candidate? He’d done a right fine job of being a roadblock to the current leadership there. Would he bring that blindness to this pack? Or could he be confident that he’d learned his lesson? If only he could see into the future and everything it held. Asia would see him as the stuff Alpha’s were made of. But he knew she’d read far too many romance novels involving werewolves, and they were far from correct in most things about wolf shifters. The camp was moving today, which meant he wouldn’t get much sleep, nor would the few peo

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Accepting isn’t Always the Worst

    Jillian watched Davis make sure that her sister and mother, with her mother’s latest side piece, were settled in their cabin. Gods, the guy wasn’t much older than her sister. He’d be better suited to her sister. What did these men see in her mother? She had two adult daughters. She didn’t care if her mother found someone. Actually, Jillian would love her mother to find someone she had something in common with. This guy wouldn’t be able to keep up with her in a conversation and she wouldn’t be able to keep up with him in pretty much any physical activity. Jillian could see this becoming another crash and burn. She bet he’d not met his fated mate and when he did, he’d have a devil of a time removing her clinging mother from him. Or Jillian would have to deal with the high drama. At least, right now, Davis showed no interest in her sister’s advances. He’d spoken to her once already, and her sister acted like he must be mistaken. Now Jillian wasn’t sure if she m

    “If we are going to return to some form of normal, we need to finish preparing the Alpha apartments for us. You know. Get all our ducks in a row.” Chris mentioned as they ate breakfast in their apartment. This was the first day of the rest of their lives together in his estimation, and he was becoming impatient at how must mess it left and the sheer number of strings that weren’t tied down. This wasn’t something he wanted to have happened again. “As long as those ducks don’t turn into raccoons or squirrels, I’ll be happy. I thought we setup for them to be renovated by now?” Helena pushed her plate away from her. How this would play out, she didn’t know, but she had to get it going or she’d get bogged down in her grief. “We did, but half of the work crew was called up to hunt. Which put the schedule back and I’ve not been given a revised schedule.” Brian added, and he clearly felt horrible about that. They didn’t need so many people to hunt down the golem or

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Coven Details

    Alfred walked from the room they used for their courts and formal audiences. It wasn’t used much these days, but it was never pleasant. The council agreed to punish Veronica with imprisonment and being stripped of her abilities. Not a simple thing to do. She’d never live a normal life if she finished her imprisonment. Veronica would have to stay hidden from the mortal world because of the knowledge she could spread. Basically, she’d just trade one prison for another and the identity she knew once would always be a faint memory. In the old day, they’d have just killed her, and Alfred believed that was a far more merciful thing to do. None of this gives her hope and then lets someone else deal with the fallout. Though he could wash his hands of her. She’d go with the elders of the council back to their homeland, which was secreted away. That’s where the sentence would occur. Their coven didn’t have the resources or place to keep her during her punishment. This was the end of th

  • Taming the Alpha Twins   Veronica’s Just Deserts

    Veronica didn’t know how long she’d been there. The light turned off and on several times. She could have been there for hours or days. She didn’t know. Finally, someone gave her food. Once she ate, it didn’t take long for a small group of people to come along and haul her out of the prison, she found herself in. She was prepared to celebrate her freedom until she found herself locked in a chair in another dark room. Veronica could hear the movement of people in robes on the edges of the large empty room. She wasn’t sure what to expect from these people. Veronica schooled herself not to give into the fear. She couldn’t quite achieve that, so she sat there attempting not to admit to anything incriminating or to give up on her very life. Finally, the lights came up enough within the room, that left little to the imagination of what they used this room for. It was a courtroom, and she was on trial. They dared to force their views and rules on her. That, alone burst her
