"Wake up losers!" I heard a loud shout that pulled me from my sleep. I felt weight press down on me and I yelped as I opened my eyes. I groaned at Lila who was laying on top of me. She grinned at me.Liam groaned from next to me and mumbled something under his breath. I smiled up at Lila and she grinned even more."It's Christmas! Get up, get up! We have breakfast at uncle Mason's and then presents! Move your butt!" Lila squealed loudly as she jumped off the bed. I rolled my eyes as she ran out the room.I rolled over to get out of bed, but Liam groaned and wrapped his arm around my waist. He pulled me back, draping his leg over mine. He kept me close."Liam, we have to get up. It's Christmas," I said to him with a giggle. Liam kept his eyes shut but smirked at me. He nuzzled his head into the crook of my neck and hummed softly."I want you to stay here with me," he mumbled. I smiled warmly and ran my fingers along his arm. He was so hard to resist."Aren't you hungry? I'm starving fo
"I'll see you tomorrow, kiddo, okay? Don't be too much trouble for your Mum and Dad," I told Trixie as I knelt down to hug her. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight.I looked up at Blu and Nicolas who were grinning down at me. I returned the gesture."She really likes you. I think you might be the new favourite. Sorry Liam," Blu said, smiling as she looked at Liam who was standing next to me. He grunted."Yeah right. I'll always be the favourite, won't I, Trixie?" Liam said, looking down at the little girl. She pulled away from me and shook her head at him. I laughed at this."You're in the past now, Liam," she giggled as she waved at me. I waved back as she bounded away and ran off to Wesley and Jason again. She was close with her cousins.I stood up and Liam rolled his eyes at me as he slipped his arm around my waist. He pulled my close as Nicolas and Blu smiled at me."You're my favourite too. I don't blame the kid," Liam told me. I smiled at this."Thank you again fo
When I woke the next morning, Liam was still sound asleep. His arms were wrapped tight around me, his face nuzzled into the crook of my neck. His legs were tangled in mine and it felt good. He never let me go during the night. We always slept in each other's arms. It was perfect.I shifted a little and then I felt it. The stiffness of his pants.I shot my eyes open and tried to look back. Liam stirred in his sleep and moved a little. I felt his body push a little more against mine and bit my lip.He was hard against me and he was unaware. But I couldn't say that I hated it."Liam," I whispered his name. He stirred some more."Liam," I whispered louder this time. He groaned softly. Liam hated people waking him up. He was good at waking up early on his own, but otherwise, he sucked."Liam, I have to go to the bathroom," I lied. Liam sighed and kissed my neck gently before he released me. I jumped out of bed and rushed out the room, moving past the bathroom.I made my way into the kitche
"Feeling better now, Ali?" Cass asked me as she brushed her fingers over my arm. I smiled and nodded at her as I sipped on my coffee. The female shot me a small smile and then begun to make her own coffee.After the incident yesterday, I stayed in the doctor's hut for a few hours before they let me return back to my cabin. I spent all day lying in bed with Liam who cradled me and stroked my hair. He licked my wounds and they had mostly healed overnight because of it.After dinner, Nicolas and Christian came over to talk to me about the incident. The tracker wolves couldn't find a single scent of the rogues. They had disappeared completely. Not to mention, the damn bodies had disappeared too. The first two rogues I killed were towards the pack more. Their blood was there, but there weren't bodies and their scent didn't trail off anywhere else. Someone had come through and taken the bodies without leaving a trace.It didn't make sense.Apparently, the rogue that they'd spared wasn't tal
"Good morning, Alfie," I greeted the male as I approached him. He turned his head and looked up at me with a wide grin. I had missed him.Alfie pulled me into a tight hug. He held me close for a few moments before he pulled away and grinned some more. I offered him a smile also."Ali, so glad that you're back. It gets a little boring around here without your constant complaining," Alfie teased as I walked with him. I chuckled a little and rolled my eyes."Well you won't have to put up with me for much longer, since this snow doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon," I huffed out. I was bitter about the snow. I wanted to train and I wanted to get better, but I knew this winter was going to be a long one."Very true, kiddo. Where are you off to? There's going to be a storm tonight, I think," Alfie asked me. I smiled up at him and motioned towards Lila's cabin."Lila, Brayleigh, Cass and I are having a girls day," I told him. Alfie snorted at me. He shook his head and I giggle
The blizzard was in full swing. The cabin often creaked against the strong winds and I even feared that a window would cave in and smash. But the cabin was sturdy and held well in the wind.The snow was falling hard. I was sure that by the morning, it would be too deep to walk in. The temperature had dropped wildly, and it was below freezing outside. But Ezra had lit the fire in the living room and the cabin was warm and toasty.I sat with Ezra and Jenny at the dining table and we began to eat. They were both quiet at first, exchanging glances with each other. Then, Ezra cleared his throat."Princess, did you speak to Liam today?" Ezra asked me. I shook my head at him, starting to eat my soup. The smells swirled around the room and my belly rumbled.Being angry at Liam was draining. We weren't arguing but the angry and upset feelings toward him were draining enough. My chest hurt and my head was spinning.The bond ached and throbbed. It begged for us to be together.Damn pull."No," I
I slowly treaded through the snow. My four feet were freezing from the crunching cold, but I barely cared. My heart hurt and I felt terrible. I felt like someone had repeatedly smacked me in the head with a brick and I felt like I could drop dead.I looked up as I heard voices. There were people walking around tending to their morning routines and duties. I noticed Alfie walking with a group of warriors and even Kade, Lila and Brayleigh by Lila's cabin. I wasn't in the mood for talking.I lowered my head as I walked. My fur was damp from the cold of the night before. I was cold and I needed a hot bath immediately."Hey! Ali!" The moment I heard Lucas, I turned sour. I didn't want to talk to anyone.I looked up and snapped my teeth at him as he bounded towards me. He stopped in his tracks and watched me pass him. I knew I would need to apologise later, and I would.I headed into the house, the door already open from where Ezra and Jenny were standing on the front porch. They watched me
The first day of spring came faster than anyone anticipated. There wasn't anything more exciting to wake up in the morning to a warm breeze and a beating sun. It was relieving for the snow to have finally melted and for the warmth to have returned.No one wanted it to go away ever again.Not to mention, it was the day Liam was returning from a business trip and the day to get back into routine.Winter had been a train wreck. It was fine when it started in north with Liam's family. It was perfect, actually. When I returned, the first week or two had been a little rocky, but after that, it eased up nicely.I had spent most of the winter cuddled up with Liam in bed or on a couch in front of the fire. If I wasn't with Liam, I was with the girls. I felt like I was changing, becoming a different person.I felt like I was getting stronger, evolving and becoming a better wolf. I hadn't trained in months but I was stronger, mostly mentally. Ezra even mentioned to me often that my veins hummed
"Sleepy head, it's time to wake up," a voice pulled me from my sleep. "Come on."I groaned softly and rolled over, burying my face in my pillow. I felt hands shake my shoulder gently. Shocks and tingles made their way up my arm and torso. I smiled to myself."You have to get up if you want to see your brothers today," Liam told me. I sighed and shook my head."I can see them another time," I mumbled to him. Liam chuckled and pulled the blanket off my body. I kept my eyes shut."Sugar, I'll make you get up. You've got to shower," Liam said.After another ten minutes of him trying to get me out of bed, I finally gave up and got out of bed. Liam forced me in the direction of the shower and I walked into the bathroom and shut the door."You sure you don't need any help in there?" Liam asked me. I rolled my eyes as I turned on the water. My beast rumbled. She would love to be helped."Not from you," I replied cheekily. I undressed and then got into the shower.After showering and eating a
Liam licked his lips as he dunked the plate into the soapy dish water. He scrubbed the plate and then handed it to me. I use the dish towel to dry the plate and then placed it back in the cupboard. Jenny was humming a song from the dining table. She was reading over the human newspaper whilst Ezra was playing a puzzle game on his iPad.I took another plate from Liam and dried it before putting it away. Liam flickered his eyes to me again and then held my gaze when I looked back at him. I raised my eyebrows at him and he winked."The bedroom is ours after this," Liam told me hotly. I widened my eyes at him and felt a tingling sensation in my belly."Then hurry up," I told him cheekily. Liam smirked and continued washing the dishes. We worked a little faster and then wiped down the bench."Liam, have you found out when that meeting is yet?" Ezra asked as we were about to leave. I held back a groan. I just wanted to spend some time alone with Liam while I had the chance.Cass and Leon ha
I wiped the sweat from my forehead as I joined the group again. Lila held out her water bottle to me and I took it. I drank greedily and then handed it back to her half empty. She sipped it on slowly and flashed me a smile.The sun was beating down on us. We were all cooking under the bright rays. But it was good and refreshing. Plus, it was better than the freezing cold that we had just gotten away from. "You've all done great today. I think you all learnt something new out there. But now, to finish off the day, I'd like to get you all sparring with each other. I'll pair you up with someone and then you can all go straight to the rings," Quo told us. I grinned at Lila who looked straight to Lucas who was smirking mischievously. He wanted to try and kick my butt badly."Lucas and Austin," Quo said, beginning to read out the pairs. Lucas groaned and shot me a look. He jutted out his bottom lip and folded his arms. I giggled and poked my tongue out at him playfully."Lila and Kerri-Ann
