My whole body froze at the sight of the omega in the bedroom. She was leaning over the bloodied body of Alpha Blake, but as I walked through the door from the ensuite bathroom, the noise must have disturbed her and she turned to look at me. A cold chill spread across my body. I hoped I could get away before anyone knew of what I had done. I knew the smell of the blood was likely to draw attention to the room, but nobody passed by here, so I hoped I would have a little longer… The wide-eyed look of shock on the face of the omega as her eyes focused on me, made my heart pound within my chest. What would she do? Would she mindlink for help? I quickly glanced across the room, trying to remember what I had done with the knife, wondering if I should use it again… “Y..you k…ki..killed him?” the omega said quietly, her voice shaking. "He is dead, you know?" ‘Kill her. You are above her. Your rank outweighs hers. Stronger too. You can. Or I will.’ Orla is urging me, b
Cara took one last look at her master’s bloodied corpse laying on my bed, a small smile upon her lips, before she slipped her hand into mine. “Let us go Evelyn.” She whispered. “I cannot tell you how brave I think you are. He was an evil man. The things he did here are unspeakable. Let alone out of pack.” I am curious of the things she speaks of, but I know at the present moment we do not have the time. One day, I will find the time to sit and talk with this sweet girl, I will find the things she has gone through at the hands of the evil Alpha. Because simply in that small smile alone, I could sense seeing him lying there dead was like a small pleasure for her. Sweet revenge almost. And that told me she had suffered at his hands. Yes, she may have been his omega, but that did not mean she should be made to suffer. I aim to make sure Cara had a better life in our pack. She would not be made to answer to anyone. Even if that meant she became my omega, she would be an omega wit
Hearing Evelyn’s voice eased my racing heart. Knowing she was still okay eased my worries. But, the fact I had been unable to reach her for a little while, despite waiting along the border edges for quite some time, meant I had gone against our plan, and begun to cross the border, darting through the trees of the derelict area of forest. This pack seemed unbelievably run down. As Rek skillfully dodged between the trees I was finally able to reach Evelyn through the mindlink, and her voice was like music to my ears. A soulful tune. So beautiful. Until she told me not to come for her. Rek’s anger raged through my body along with my own. She was warning us not to come for her. Yet that had been the plan all along. Our plan we discussed was for me to meet her. Come for her and bring her safely home to me. To her mates. Yet, she was telling me not to? She had to have been tempted by the power of Alpha Blake. She had to have been. There was no other explaination for her t
With trembling hands I look to the young she-wolf by my side. Aiden had gone. He had been the one I was meant to meet. He planned to guide me home. Yet, he had abandoned me. Given up on me it seemed. My own mate. Him of everyone? He was the one whose faith in me never seemed to falter. What had changed? “Evelyn? Are you okay?” Cara’s gentle voice questions. I look to her with anxious eyes, as I nod. “Just unsure what to do.” I explain, not sure what else to do or to say. I truly do not want to give too much away to her. What if she was captured by her pack and questioned. She cannot know more than she does. Or else she had the potential to give too much away… “We run for the borders.” She says with a smile, as she reaches for my hand. “So come on.” “Do you have a phone?” I ask her, desperately hoping she may so I can at least try to call my brother for help. His was the only number I remembered by heart. But Cara shakes her head. “Alpha would
This beautiful woman in front of me, this brave woman who had somehow found the courage to end the life of the man I had been dreaming of killing since soon after my arrival in his pack four years ago was now pulling me away from the pack after we had been told my pack was being invaded. Something told me, that when she told me she needed to escape she hadn’t been entirely honest. Not that she needed to be. But, I had to accept she had no reason to be. She likely felt she could trust nobody right now, and who could blame her? She had been holed up in our hell hole of a pack for too long, isolated and feeling alone. It was enough to send anybody insane. And, while I may have been trying to ensure she was kept a little safer, she had been oblivious to that. I could not be caught talking to her, or I would have been made to suffer from the hands of the Alpha. He would have hurt me. Killed me, like he had done many omegas before who had gone against his rules. But, no
Dashing through the forest to the borders as fast I could was frustrating in human form. We needed to be able to speak to anyone we came across. Explain why we were out, and our obvious answer was the one Cara had earlier used. A leisurely walk. That would not be in wolf form. Yet, Orla was desperate to push through and take over, knowing she would be able to get us to our location so much faster than my two feet. But, I had to be so wary of how I was doing things right now. Nothing could put us at risk. We could not be far from the border when my mindlink began going crazy. ‘Evelyn. Are you near?’ Cayden’s voice was anxious, no doubt hoping all was okay. ‘Evelyn? Please let us know how you are. Are you with Aiden now?’ Jackson’s voice this time. ‘Ev? Baby, please, I need to hear your voice again.’ Cayden once more. ‘Hey both of you. I am here, just making my way to the edge of the borders. So glad to hear you! Aiden is not with me. He got angry. Thou
I ran or my wolf did, through the pack and out across the border back to heading toward home. But I am doing my hardest to control Rek. Telling him he must go to find our mates. Evelyn may have deserted us for that good for nothing fucking evil Alpha, but my other mates were out here somewhere waiting for her. They needed to know what she had done. They needed to know to stop this war. She had made our choice. Our girl had made her decision and it was not us. ‘Rek, take a step back a minute. We need to find the others.’ ‘No. They will tell us to find her.’ Rek snarls at me through the link we share. ‘Rek, this is not just about you. Or me. We have our other mates. Cayden and Jackson need us to let them know what is happening.’ I tell him. ‘We need to make sure they are safe. I do not want to live with the thought I was the cause of them being hurt if it were to happen.’ Rek growls, but I can tell from the change in the speed in which he is running he is
Our forces had awaited the signal to invade the two Packs. All our preparations had led us to this moment. The majority of the packs within our region united to bring an end, we hoped, to this conflict. I just hoped our future Luna was able to do her part. She seemed such a sweet girl when I had seen her around pack and with the Alpha and Beta. So shy and reserved, so the thought of her being the one to take down the most feared man in our territory seemed almost unbelievable, but Ariella had visions of this, and we had believed her. We had to. We had no other hope... The majority of my warriors were based at River Ash Pack. There to help take down the many warriors of Night Shade Pack. End the damage and destruction they were lavishing upon our neighbouring pack. We knew, despite having the warriors of many other packs by our sides, we would be close to being outnumbered. Night Shade Pack was massive. So many people. And their Alpha made them all fight too when it came to
2 years later. I adjust my dress, it is so uncomfortable being this heavily pregnant, especially in this heat, but we are heading to Midnight Blood Pack, to see Frankie and Cara and their little one. They had their first son a few days ago and were having a pack party today to celebrate. We, of course were invited, as were the Alphas from all the other packs within our region. Any major event within our packs now was celebrated as one region. Since that day we were all united, and so much closer. Each pack had their own Alpha but they worked alongside one another, and sought out one another’s advice on things. The packs had worked hard together to fix all the damage done to the packs, returning them to their former glory. Allowing the refugees residing within our many packs return home. For the refugees whose packs had been destroyed and absorbed into others, they now had new homes within two new packs in what had been Night Shade Pack. Our region was completely ren
We walk through the pack to the training field. Each one of my mates is desperate in one way or another to be touching me. I find it incredibly sweet, but can’t help but wonder how I am going to get anything done… “The whole pack is waiting for us, are you excited?” Cayden asks, as he pulls me closer to him. “Not really. I hate being the centre of attention, so if you want to put all of that onto Aiden, that is good with me.” I say while grinning at Aiden, who shakes his head at me. “Hmm, I think meeting their new Luna will be a big deal. Especially one who took out that prick.” He winks at me. “I’m just a surplus Alpha that the moon goddess decided to throw in for some reason.” “Don’t say things like that.” Jackson snarls, with a shake of his head. “We are all even. So, you are not surplus Aiden. Though in bed… maybe.” He teases with a grin. “You didn’t think I was surplus when you were snuggled up to me during the night.” Aiden responds with an e
My mouth meets hers in the moment I have been waiting for since she left. Yes, I have kissed her since she arrived home, but only fleetingly. Not wishing to push her. Not wanting to be too much. But this, this feels like it is going somewhere. My hands run through the waves of her long blond hair. Fuck… I have missed our girl… I feel Evelyn slide forward slightly on the countertop, hooking her legs around my waist and I find myself smiling against her lips. Hmm, seems my naughty little mate may have the same thoughts I did… I allowed my hands to drop from her hair to her babydoll night-dress, to slip it up and over her head, leaving Evelyn suddenly naked and exposed to me. My eyes instantly eating up the beautiful sight of my mate’s naked body. I felt Evelyn’s fingers upon my chin, lifting my gaze back to her, as she brought my lips back to hers in what was quite the possessive move. And, I have to say, I quite liked it… The kisses were gentle… teasing… slow
I awoke the following morning, terrified by the presence of three bodies surrounding me. I quickly sat up, my heart racing in the darkness, the room unfamiliar to me, terrified about where I was. “Ev?” I feel Cayden’s hand suddenly around me, pulling me back to reality, as the realisation of where I am hits me. Our new home. Our new bedroom and the large bed that Aiden and his brother had built for us… I had forgotten… in my sleepy dazed state, I had forgotten! Aiden was suddenly up and next to me on his knees. “Sweetheart, are you okay? Did you have a bad dream? Your heart rate is through the roof!” Jackson however was still passed out, almost purring in his sleep, quite content it would seem by having his three mates finally by his side. Cayden told me he had barely been sleeping, but last night he had dropped off first, in barely no time at all. And, I can’t help but think that may have something to do with the fact we are altogether in one place, no mat
We left Night Shade Pack together. The four of us. It had been a while since the four of us had all been together, and despite the earlier animosity it felt good. My wolf, Kali felt the calmest and most content he had done in a long time. “Do you think the things we discussed with them will work?” Evelyn asks as we edge our way past the crowds of other Alphas, and the many warriors in the parking area, and she glances out toward them, a look of uncertainty on her face. I don’t suppose I can blame her for that… “Time will only tell. But there is a solid plan in place, which we will reinforce.” Jackson reassures her. Evelyn nods. “I do not like that Alpha Saul.” She mutters, and I cannot help but smirk, she had not been holding back in her words with him, which had took me by surprise, I have to say. That was not like Evelyn at all. “You would never have guessed.” Aiden teases her gently, I think he is being a little wary, he knows he upset her earlier, and
I stand in a daze in the grounds of the pack I had been held a virtual prisoner at. Listening to the voices of many Alphas trying to pull rank now. Of course, they had worked together to end the reign of Alpha evil himself. But, now, they seemed unable to work together… bickering like young school boys… I look to Aiden and Cayden is desperation, my head pounding from the noise. I did not want to be back here. This place held too many horrible memories as it was, but this situation on top of that was only adding to the pressure building within my mind. We were supposed to be coming to deal with the pack members, I am sure that is what they had said… not creating another conflict between every other remaining pack! ‘Are you okay sweetheart?’ Aiden’s voice echoes through the mindlink as we walk toward our destination. I want to hate him for how he treated me earlier, and no doubt I would be angry at him for some time, but he was trying hard at the moment to take care of
I watch the woman in front of us, and the coldness emanating from her. It is piercing my heart like a dagger each time she looks at me coldly. This was not the Evelyn who left us. But, I don’t think it would be fair to expect her to be the same considering what she had had to endure. But, I had hoped she would be as pleased to see us as we were her! Although, Aiden’s behaviour seemed truly inexplicable. He was rude and argumentative when he saw her. And, I cannot help but wonder if that is the reasoning for her cold front with us all. After all, it would not be the first time she had punished us as a group… “I want to be alone. Can you take me home.” Evelyn tells us, making me frown. I understand nothing more than the need to go home. I would love the exact same thing for us all. Of course I would. But we had commitments to our warriors. To the other packs defending our region alongside ours. We could not just walk out on the plan we had devised together. We needed to s
I paced on through the edges of the forest, anxiously. Knowing I was out of the borders of Night Shade Pack now. But also knowing that Blake’s body had to have been found now, because as Cara left she sent a crazed mindlink out to all of her pack that she had found the dead body of their Alpha. She told me she thought it would be a good idea to allow the pack to know their Alpha was dead, so they may surrender the fighting. And, as terrified as I was for the consequences of my actions, I think she may be right. Because if the warriors of Night Shade Pack learn of Alpha Blake’s death they may choose to surrender of their own accord. Bring the plan me and my mates had to a conclusion. This could bring this decades long conflict to an end finally. Blake’s life would be at an end, along with the war he envisioned. ‘Orla, do you feel anything? Are they still fighting?’ I ask my wolf as we move through the trees towards the place I need to meet my mates. Dreading the
Our pack was suddenly swamped under supporting troops from our surrounding packs. This was the denfensive attack we had been told of. I only hoped my sister was safe as they had forewarned us. I cannot lie, I hated myself for having to give her up in order to protect our mother. But, I had been naïve in believing she would bring her mates, but even then, I believed her mates would save her. Yet, I have awaited each day for news. News of her safe return to their pack, but there has been nothing. No news. And each time I questioned it, I learned Evelyn was staying with Alpha Blake. Rumours were spreading he planned to make her his Luna. Something had gone wrong. So wrong. Evelyn had mates. Three of them. What would she want with a man so much older than her? One that was so evil and sinister? It had made no sense to me… All until this plan had been unveiled to us. Then, the truth became apparent. My sister was deceiving the Alpha. They all were. Which is why her mates ha
