Shit. I don’t know what had come over me. But I had wanted her I know that. Though, while I may say, I may not know what came over me, I am glad it happened. Because the feel of her lips on mine felt heavenly. Felt right. Her body pushed up against mine felt amazing. I could not help but imagine what it would feel like if our bodies were naked... She felt simply incredible. Like she was meant to be there. Her lips on mine sending surges of fire through my body. And when she kissed me back it was like my barriers had fallen. I had lost all of my control. I could not help myself. I thought she would push me away. Demand to know what I was doing, but she seemed to succumb to my kisses, kissing me back, gripping at my hair, and that only urged me on. I was a ball of lust in that moment. Pent up energy… pent up desire for the beautiful she-wolf in front of me… I think I have wanted to kiss her since that first day she came into pack. Something about her had called to me. He
After my moment of indiscretion with Cayden there was many loaded glances between us. I could not stop thinking of him. Or stop imagining his hands on my skin. It had felt amazing. Like it was meant to be. But he had been right. I should wait. Yet the teasing and flirting was fun. He continued to act normal with me when around others but on the odd occasion when it was just him and I in the office, his touch would linger just a few moments longer than it needed to… Or he would move himself a little closer than he should be… move his mouth close to my ear to whisper something to me instead of talking… All the little things that made me desperately want him more. I had made excuses to stop over at the room they had provided me with on many occasions in the last week or so. Working late in my office, and then spending the evening in the company of Cayden and Jackson. It had become a frequent occurrence now. I was three weeks into my work here, and I preferred my time here over m
Trouble across the region was spreading, so we were having to build our defences and increase our training. All our warriors were training almost non-stop, on a rota basis, the patrols increased as a a precaution, as we had a feeling it likely would not be long until The Night Shadow Pack were back. They seemed to sweep their way through the packs within the region one by one. How they had the forces to do this we had yet to decipher, but they seemed to take down the packs to the point of almost destruction, before moving onto the next pack. It was like they did not want to take over the bigger packs, simply bring them close to ruin before moving on. The smaller packs they had already demolished. Destroyed the packs and taken them over. Killing any pack members that did not manage to get away. Thankfully, most had managed to escape, and those were the rogues living in ours and a number of other packs within our region. We had been free of the fighting within our pack since
I had been happily working away in my office, admiring the beautiful flowers that Cayden had put in my office for this week. Some brightly coloured gerberas. I was looking forward to the pizza and film night Cayden and Jackson had suggested for us tonight. As soon as they had mentioned pizza, I had already decided there was no way I would be returning home, I would be staying the night once more! Not that I ever needed much convincing… I had been in their pack only a matter of weeks, yet it suddenly felt so much like a home. I felt at ease here. Happier. Like I could be me. I was laughing more. I felt freer. My spirit felt free, and it felt wonderful. Truly amazing. Neither Cayden or Jackson would judge me when I spoke, they seemed intrigued by my thoughts. And loved my enthusiasm. And I loved the way that made me feel. Like my opinion and thoughts mattered. They made me feel like I mattered. Being here with them had become important to me. It might not be a million mi
Watching Evelyn walk away from me was the so incredibly difficult. How do you let someone you care so much about walk away knowing they may not come back? Knowing they are walking into what could potentially be a bloodbath... Even my wolf was battling with me to force her to stay, and that concerned me even more. Told me that perhaps she was not meant to leave. Jackson must have picked up on my mood though. ‘We need to let her go. I know, Micco is fighting me. Telling me to stop her, but she has to follow her orders. She isn’t in our pack officially. I wish she was now. Wish we had pushed for her to be.” He had mindlinked. ‘But what if she doesn’t come back to us Jax. I can’t go through it all again. She isn’t my mate, but there is something there. And as much as I hate it, I know you feel something too.’ I tell him. He looks at me. ‘I know. But we have to let her go. Hope she comes back. She won’t be fighting. She’ll be in the offices locked up working. We will
I fight tears walking away from Jackson and Cayden. Part of me wants to go against the wishes of my Alpha and stay in the safety of Mystic Shadow Pack. But my wolf, Orla is urging my to do the right thing, my gut is telling me I need to head home. I know it is the right thing to do. You do not desert your pack when they need you. No matter how hard it may be. So I push myself forward. My feet feeling heavy. I quickly collect my things and I make my way to the edges of Mystic Shadow Pack, the forest surrounding me. The sun was shining brightly again today, giving the illusion of a wonderful day. Today was going to be far from wonderful. I had no clue what today would hold for me. But I knew where I was going there would be bloodshed. Death. Pain and suffering. Just like the last time Night Shade Pack had invaded my pack. And I truly don’t know if I am ready to go through all of that again. Though, in truth, were any of us? Were any of us in the region ready to be going throu
I walk a little slower knowing that Jackson would not be happy with me, but I had given in to my own weakness. I needed to see if Evelyn would be okay. And the only person I knew that may be able to tell me that was Ariella. ‘Beta Cayden, is that you my dear?’ she responds to my mindlink almost immediately. Anyone would think she was awaiting my contact. Or is that my wishful thinking, trying to reassure myself she has some sort of ability, that backs up these seer abilities we are told she holds? The abilities that will be able to tell me whether or not Evelyn would be okay… ‘Yes. I am sorry for mindlinking…’ I begin, suddenly uncertain if I have done the right thing. ‘Young man, you do not apologise. I am here for you all. You know that and I can sense you need some reassurance. Perhaps a little guidance? What is it you wish you speak to me about?’ she interrupts, asking kindly. I always found her voice calming, reassuring. Like a motherly sort
‘My mate?’ I stutter to Orla. How can this be happening. Now of all times. As werewolves you learn of fated mates. The bond. The connection. How wonderful it feels. And being a teenage girl you start building up dreams of meeting your fated mate. Read stories, watch films, and hope for dreams of romance. This was not the things I had dreamt of! Meeting my fated mate in the midst of a fucking warzone! ‘Go find mate!’ Orla is yelling at me. My mind is still trying to process what is happening. My mate is here? But… I knew everyone in River Ash Pack... I would have known if my mate was here. My heart dropped. That has to mean that my fated mate is one of the soldiers invading us? No. That can’t be right. Why would the moon goddess fate me to a soldier of that pack?! The pack that killed my father! The pack that was instigating conflict on our region? ‘Now girl! Now. Mate!’ Orla is pushing me. I feel her forcing the shift now. My body begins the modification in
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
