Taming the Alpha Twins Werewolf or Bloodhound
The group with Brian pulled up to the motel on the far edge of town to the pack’s territory and, sure enough, the Jeep sat as bold as brass in front of a door. The place was oddly quiet for an evening, even in the tiny town of Lake Ingrid. A witch returned from the front desk. “Okay, this has to be where she is. The sign says they’re full. However, all but one room key is sitting at the desk. I made sure the desk clerk will sleep through anything and Veronica dealt with any guest issues for us, the fool.” The witch was a grandmotherly type who looked sweet and harmless at first glance. Everyone has seen the type where you expect her to have overflowing hard candies falling out of her large purse and tissues tucked up under the sleep of her sweater. Brian knew this woman was far more than that and he’d be the first to admit it disturbed him more than a little. How did someone gauge their opponent if they couldn’t identify them? “It’s better than we hoped. Now
Taming the Alpha Twins Veronica’s Plans
Veronica couldn’t believe it. She’d driven to see what type of devastation her golem committed to the Coven House. But the stupid thing did nothing to the house. It stood there untouched, though the plot of land beside it where a field of nothing but ruins and weeds was torched to the bare earth. People milled around, but she couldn’t hear what they spoke of. This was catastrophic. That was her only chance. After this, they’d be on their toes and expecting another attack. She couldn’t leave this be. Veronica knew she would have to reprogram the golem to get the job done. Her only problem was that she didn’t know why it failed so miserably. Why were the wolves here? What were they doing? There’s no reason for them to be here. That meant they knew about her golem as well. She must find it first and fix this problem. Veronica was frustrated because without her bag she’d not be able to scry using the golem as she’d planned. Now she must hunt for the thing the mundane way
Taming the Alpha Twins Chris Comes Upon the Golem
Chris disliked the region almost immediately. He could feel the residual magic that affected the land by the sheer number of spells cast upon the land. It was dark, and the sky was overcast, letting no moonlight filter down. He could feel the muddy banks squelch beneath his toes. At least the pads of his feet would clean up easily. But until they were, he was sure that the packhouse would be off limits to him. He’d got a warning through Alfred. Veronica was in the area. She was probably looking for the bloody golem or come to survey the damage it wrought. Too bad for her that the protections from the coven used in their principal home was too good for her. They were finally baring down on it. Chris followed it’s heavy footprints. If Alfred was correct, Chris would find a lumbering clay and mud monster, with a mouth and pieces of mirror for eyes. He claimed it was crude and doubted it could speak, and was sure it couldn’t be reasoned with. Veronica didn’t hav
Taming the Alpha Twins Bloodhound Wolf in Action
Brian’s team didn’t take long to track down where Veronica left the Jeep, and this time it wasn’t an illusion. He got a scent almost instantly and followed it through the wooded area. She must have stumbled several times. Now he realized from here on out he wouldn’t need her scent to follow her. She was following the golem and Chris’ team. The pathway was now well trodden and easy for Brian to find. It wasn’t pleasant chasing after her. The mud was messy, and they needed to move slower for the witches to keep up with them because human forms just didn’t move well through rough, muddy terrain. It appeared like the golem moved faster than they thought. Or it left earlier than they’d been told. Alfred’s people back at the Coven House claimed he’d be along as soon as he’d finished resetting the protections. However, no one could give him an exact time. It was understandable when someone explained that there was no one alive that ever used them before and this was the fir
Taming the Alpha Twins The Take Down
Alfred tromped along the banks. This was a typical evening along the small river. At one point, he wondered if he should have said something about the mud. But when he thought about it, what would a wolf do about muddy paws? The witches with them knew all about this region and why they kept it like this. The river ran parallel to an old graveyard. It’s age and occupants made it powerful for the witches. Ancestors and all that. The mud appeared to contain the graveyard dirt. Don’t get him wrong, the graveyard was still used so there was no worry about it disappearing from erosion. Alfred walked through. There’s been enough people through here that he could follow the trail even in the dark of night. Oh, he wasn’t a fool. He brought a light with him. A secret most humans didn’t know is that supernatural creatures long ago learned green or coloured light was better at night than white light because it affected nightlight less and there were too many supernatural friends
Taming the Alpha Twins Veronica Captured
The members of her ex-coven pulled along Veronica. She hated this, it wasn’t fair. That was her golem back there they were destroying. These people should be dead or scrambling to save their friends and building, not making her life worse. Why did everything fall apart like this? Bethany, the jealous witch, must have cursed her. Veronica was sure of it. Bethany was weak and would do anything to keep her place within the coven. That included cursing people and being a ‘yes’ man to the high priest. Clarence was correct in that these people were evil and controlling fools who needed to be brought down a peg or two. No one said anything, and Veronica couldn’t say a word. But she resisted every chance she got. It was her petty vindictiveness surfacing. She didn’t care. These people deserved to be as miserable as she was, for what they’d done. It took forever to get back to the coven house and then she was dragged to a place where she’d never been. Nor would she h
Taming the Alpha Twins Home for the Reunion
It took most of the evening to hide the evidence and the wolves felt it was as much their problem as it was for the coven. As a group effort, they covered up the shattered bits of golem. Brian found out that the coven possessed a dungeon of sorts for the few they allowed within their group, who disappointed them by attacking others or other illegal activities. With dawn approaching, they went home with only one injured wolf. The injury occurred on the walk back to the coven house. The wolf slid on the muddy bank and twisted their leg when they landed awkwardly in the water. It slowed them down some, but their territory was now insight and all Brian wanted was to see Helena and get reunited with her. He was sure Chris felt the same. It felt like forever since he’d been with her. In his mind, he wouldn’t be whole until they were all comfortable with no fear of anything happening to them or their pack. They needed time to decompress and get reacquainte
Taming the Alpha Twins Well He’s Not so Bad
Jillian watched her mate enter the packhouse from an upstairs window in the apartment they shared. This apartment was theirs because she’d worked closely with Helena on so many things it made sense to be close. Now she somehow ended up mated to the fifth most powerful wolf in the pack. She couldn’t complain about that. He wasn’t a beta, but she wasn’t expected to mate with anyone special. Heck, a few weeks ago, she’d planned to never mate in this lifetime. Thank heavens Davis was back. They’d get some sleep and this afternoon her sister and mother would be here. So many people over the years tried to make her feel guilty, but if she never saw those two again, she’d not worry about it. All she prayed for was that neither of them made a fool of themselves fawning and flirting with Davis. If someone thought that wouldn’t happen. Jillian needed only to remember her high school prom date took her to the prom and then disappeared with her sister for the rest of th

Taming the Alpha Twins Helena Takes Stock
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
Taming the Alpha Twins Opening the Alpha’s Apartments
“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
