In the conference room, Valaria, Mal, Stacy and Tyrone were already deep in conversation regarding the plan for security at the dinner.
Nick stood from his seat and raised his glass of orange juice, Dominic knew what was coming.
“Don't you dare..” but before he could finish his sentence.
“Give it up for our new Alpha female!” The rest of the wolves stood and congratulated their real Alpha and invited them to take the head of the table, Valaria sat next to Stacy and whispered,
“You could have warned me he was your Alpha.”
“Yes I could have, but where's the fun in that? Besides, how was I supposed to know you were freaking soul mates?” Stacy replied.
“Sorry everyone, I had to take that call, so where are we?” Dominic asked while placing his phone in his shirt pocket.
“I hope you marked her good brother, cause daddy is going to come knocking any day now.” Nick remark
Stacy nervously tapped her fingers on her key card while standing at the compounds entry door, she had only been waiting for a matter of minutes but to her it felt like hours, she was dressed in a black pants suit, it was well fitted and accentuated her feminine form but it was not as easy to move in as her usual combat trousers and a tank top, she felt restricted and clumsy but she also knew that she had a part to play, to look professional and in charge.The Com link in her ear finally buzzed into life and the crackled voice announced, “Two SUVs coming in.” They were finally here, the vehicles made their way from the main gate towards Stacy, the drivers dimmed their lights to avoid blinding the wolf as they pulled up beside her, quickly the drivers exited the vehicles and moved round to the rear passenger doors, once opened two elderly men exited the first vehicle while two younger women exited the second, the males were dressed in dark suits and both looked wel
Nearly two weeks had passed since Valaria swiped her claws through the throat of the highest seated Council member and Mikhail had told the Pack leaders the truth about their history, there has been no activity from the Pride other than Lucian's arrival to Westingdale and the odd bar brawl in the town between pissed off Panthers taking out their aggression on other Preternatural, no contact had been made to the Pack and life seemed to be back to normal, which worried Valaria, every day that passed she grew stronger and more in-tune with her new abilities, she knew that she would have to use them she just didn't know when, Stacy was working with Tyrone to train other pack members not only with the modified firearms but in Preternatural combat, most of the wolves had never been in a real fight, Stacy had to make sure they could protect themselves, she wouldn't be able to, she would be too busy protecting the compound, but should any Panthers slip through she wanted to know that the wo
This day was the day she would get her questions answered, on this day she would finally get what she had been working towards, Stacy paced back and forth outside Dominic's office as the two males spoke inside, she was actually nervous, her palms were clammy and her heart was pounding in her chest, Mal wasn't here to comfort her, he returned to Predtech to analyse a blood sample that Dr Gumm sent over, in this moment she was alone, Dominic's door swung open and Tyrone exited, he didn't even make eye contact with her, Really dude?“Stacy! Get in here!” Dominic barked,Stacy edged her way into the room which was filled with his scent, his new scent, the one that defined him as a mated wolf, and to Stacy, it was quite pleasant, Dominic eyed Stacy for a moment before speaking,“I have spoken with Tyrone,” his words filled with disappointment which transferred as easily to her as a coffee stain to paper,“We have come to a decisio
Valaria woke with a screeching siren blaring in her head, she could hear her pack running about the halls collecting themselves and finding places for the elderly members to hide, she could feel their panic and fear, she didn’t feel scared or fearful, this was the night that she bound herself to her Soulmate, so fear wasn’t even a passing thought, she did feel something, something that she was about to unleash upon whoever has disturbed this night of hers, anger, no, anger was not the right word, pure animalistic rage was what was surging through her, she stood from her bed and opened the bedroom door, stood there still naked with scatterings of mud and foliage from the run she roared, it was so loud that everyone in the complex halted in their step, she then used her bond with the pack to relay her feelings to them, it shifted their fear and replaced it with respect, respect for their Alpha who now was walking through the halls to meet her mate who had already made it t
The ancient Demon stared at himself in the mirror after wiping the remnants of shaving soap from his throat and under his nostrils, he felt old, but the face staring back at him was that of a fit and healthy thirty year old man, a crisp jawline, prominent cheekbones and a dominant brow, that coupled with his exquisite physique made him damn near perfect, and in her eyes, the one that she loved, he was perfect, she would never say so, she knew he hated compliments and he loved her even more just for knowing, these two were not Soulmates, they were friends and lovers and he had finally decided to confess the full extent of his feelings towards her, after the events that followed Dominic’s mating to a Panther, is love for a Wolf wouldn’t even turn a head, at this point he had no reason not to tell her, he smiled as he saw her naked body shift in the bed from the corner of his eye, How in Hell did I get so lucky.“Mal? What time is it? Stacy asked as she stirred
Logic dictates that any warning delivered by a Valkyrie should be heeded, but delivered by the child of the man you love? A child who you didn’t know even existed and that you have still not received an explanation for? That is a whole other story, the exact thoughts that were racing through Stacy’s mind as she escorted Ellie to the living quarters, Dominic said that they would talk in the morning, which meant putting Ellie up for the night, Stacy made sure to put her in the room farthest from where her and Mal slept, just to be safe.It wasn’t that Stacy didn’t trust Mal, or Ellie for that matter, but to find out that Mal had spawned an offspring even if it was thousands of years ago hurt, it hurt to the core of Stacy’s soul, her Wolf was beside itself with heartache, Stacy hadn’t really noticed until now but it seemed that her Wolf had imprinted on Mal, imprinting is not the same as bonding, imprinting only goes one way, whilst Stacy was
Tyrone had taken to vaping, not because he used to smoke, it was because it was the best way for him to take CBD, Amber mixed it with a vanilla custard liquid that was quite pleasant but a little sweeter than Tyrone would like, his treatments for Lymphoma caused heavy nausea and his anxiety has been through the roof since he hasn’t been able to burn off the excess adrenaline that his Preternatural body produced, it was the same for most preternatural, Shifters especially, the adrenal gland was hard wired into overdrive, for most this just meant having a shift and a run once or twice a week, but city dwellers and like Tyrone ill creatures, it created anxiety and crippling panic attacks, the CBD help to keep his anxiety at bay, it didn’t hurt that it took the edge off the pain too, enough that he could get up and walk around the compound, even if it was at a fraction of his former speed, he was on one of these walks outside when he spotted Stacy sat with her legs crossed u
Amber awoke and was greeted by the wretched stench of unwashed feet, blood, sweat and vomit, with a passing hint of leather and copper, when she finally decided to open her eyes she realized her worst fears were indeed correct, Dominic, Stacy and herself were currently riding in the back of a London Taxi cab through Piccadilly circus, the nausea of the flight from LAX to Heathrow caught up with her, now she realized why the cab smelt the way it did and why her Alpha was currently looking back at her while wearing a knitted scarf over the lower half of his face in the middle of summer, she had thrown up in her sleep, Stacy was doing her best to clean up with wet wipes and antiperspirant spray but it was only making the matter worse, like covering up the smell of death by hanging a magic tree air freshener.“You Preter’s are going to have to pay for that,” came the disgruntled voice of the cockney taxi driver, his narrow eyes spied Stacy via the rear-view mirr
Dominic was actually relaxing for once, it seamed like the past two years had been non stop, he had formed more alliances and officiated more treaties than he thought possible and it had cost him, his Mate had become distant, he was sleeping in his office, just a year ago, he and Valaria were talking about having children, now he couldn’t even remember the last time they slept in the same room. “Dom, we need to talk.” Valaria said from the doorway to his office, she still had that amazing glow to her, the olive skin and black hair, the scent of honey; it was enough to awaken Dominic’s Wolf who began clawing at him to touch her. “Hey, yeah, come in.” he gestured to the armchair that she basically claimed as hers when they first mated. “I know that things have been hard lately, and the Pack is growing faster than either of us could imagine, but.” Dominic interrupted, “But we need time for us.” Even after the distance and arguments they both still loved each other so deeply, their bo
Stacy placed a soft but passionate kiss on Del’s lips as they said goodbye, Del had to return to L.A to deal with work and would return the next day ready to pursue her new relationship. Neither Del nor Stacy wanted to part, but Kyle eased the separation by projecting calming thoughts into both of their minds, despite not having sex, the Mating bond was growing between the trio which would soon become a triad of love, affection and soul binding energy that none could deny.“I have to go to work.” Stacy said to Kyle as they walked up the steps into Westingdale house.
Stacy and Grace stood in line at Club82, it was a warm night and the strip was busy with people enjoying the night life of Los Angeles, Grace was wearing one of her extremely seductive little black dresses, it clung to every curve and accentuated her breasts and ass, in this dress she had the perfect hourglass figure, that mixed with her pale skin and fiery red hair made her look like a supermodel, Stacy listened to Grace and allowed her Demon to dress her, a blood red silk blouse clung to her torso while the cup less under bust bra lifted her already pert breasts, her midriff was bare save for a glamour chain with a small wolf pendent that swung just above her naval, her legs were confined in a pair of skin tight leather pants, they were low rise which barely c
Dominic was busy looking through papers of the planned extension to Predtech, since the government gave into the Preter rights protests Predtech had become more of a medical research company again, obviously Dominic kept the non-lethal weapons department running, in his mind, the more non-lethal weapons available, means the less likely that a Preter were to be shot by a racist cop.“Hey Dom, you got a minute?” Stacy asked as she stood in his office doorway.
Stacy slammed the door to her room behind her and raged in her head, she wasn’t mad at Kyle, he was doing exactly as he was supposed to, she was angry with herself, she had feelings for him, she swore that after Mal she wouldn’t have that ever again, it hurt too much to lose him, even Chloe was just a means to an end, a rather orgasmic end but an end nonetheless, it took her a few moments to realize that the door she slammed never made contact with the doorway, she turned just in time to see Kyle pouncing at her, Wolf was present in his eyes and hunger was on his mind.“Oh Fuck!”
Dominic had been planning this meeting for some time, to meet one of the mutated species, was rare, to meet one of the mutated species that every original species revered was almost unheard of, Dominic first learned of this particular species when he was still just a Beta in his old pack, that was nearly 50 years ago, a creature that was essentially a shifter but possessed other magical traits, some could control electricity, others could heal wounds just by looking at them, but Dominic was fascinated by one particular kind, the ones that could control the elements, one element in particular, fire, and what creature could shape-shift into a majestic animal while also being able to control the natural element of fire? Well a Firefox of course, but
Stacy had returned to her room to find Kyle out cold on the bed, she did the smart thing and tucked herself in on the sofa, she slept well considering the sofa still had that new stiffness to it, but like clockwork, 6am rolled around and she was wide awake, rather than wake Kyle she decided to use Val and Dominic’s shower, they were already up doing their Alpha thing so she had the place to herself.It wasn’t until she stepped out of the warm rain like water that she realized she had forgotten a change of clothes, ‘not to worry, some of Val’s clothes should fit.’ She thought to herself as she pranced across the room to the walk in closet.“Holy crap! Val, you have a serious problem.” Stacy was referring to the five shelves of shoes ranging from flat bottomed dolly shoes to thigh high dagger heals, she grabbed a pair of denim shorts which turned into hot pants on Stacy, she had a bigger backside than her Alpha female and more of a curvaceous body too, the vest top barely reached her na
Stacy’s eyes drifted open slowly, her mind was still waking up so it took her a few moments to realize that the celling she was staring at was not the one above her bed, her memory then kicked into gear and she remembered Kyle, he was taking the bed while he healed, then who was currently spooning her? And why the hell was she comfortable in their arms, so comfortable that her Wolf and her Demon were both content to be laid there, swimming in the aroma of his scent, the scent of a Wolf, the scent of river water and burned phosphors, the scent of… Kyle.Stacy bolted upright waking the slumbering Wolf behind her, she quickly ran to the en-suite bathroom and closed the door, while she screamed inside her own head Kyle asked,“Everything OK in there?” he rubbed his eyes to clear them and took a deep breath, he could smell her, her scent was like nothing he had ever smelt before strawberries and charcoal.“Yeah! Why would it not be OK?&
Drake and Ellie each grabbed a plate of food and sat at the main breakfast bar in the kitchen, over the past two years they had become close friends and were often mistaken for being a couple by other members of the pack, it didn’t help that Drake protected Ellie with such dominance, the two began to eat as Stacy lead Kyle into the kitchen, Kyle had an outward demeanour or courage but everyone in the room could smell his nervousness, and he was right to be nervous, last night he made the decision to become a Wolf shifter, these people were going to become his family, a rather dysfunctional family but a family nonetheless.Drake and Ellie began laughing amongst themselves, which didn’t help Kyle’s nerves, Stacy grabbed him a plate piled high with various meats.“I hope you don’t expect me to eat all that.” Kyle said taking a seat at the table.“Sorry, Amber cooks and serves for Preters, we don’t get many Humans here
