Chapter 48 - Aiden

Author: Beth Jackson
last update Last Updated: 2024-03-08 19:58:28

I stand in the kitchen of Mystic Shadow Pack, having exposed the secret I had held for many years. Of course, those within our camp knew the truth. They saw me as their Alpha, their leader, and treated me as such. But it meant nothing when we were living as rogues on another Alpha’s pack.

My pack members liked to make sure I was escorted wherever I went, and as a whole I allowed that to happen. I knew they did it to try to protect me, which is ironic considering I was an Alpha, and if anyone could protect themselves it was me. But, after losing my father it had hurt them, hurt us all. So much. They did not want to lose their Alpha once more.

The two men in front of me seem genuinely shocked by my revelation, but do not seem to be disregarding my title the way I expected them to be. I expected them to be dismissing it, considering I no longer even have a pack. I knew they did not see me as their equal. And I understood that.

    I take in the expression upon Aiden’s face at Jackson’s words. He is feeling something, I am sure of that… “So that element fits…” Aiden utters, which we already knew, we had spoken of that before, but disregarded it as coincidence. Or Jackson had, even suggesting perhaps Ariella had seen Evelyn’s wolf and used her as inspiration for the scroll. Either way the scroll and the words upon it had been disregarded until now… I watch Aiden as he continues to read the words inked across the old parchment. All a part of the visions Ariella had been having, I believe. She should be here to explain, I am sure she could help… “But not with one by her side, thrice times the strength is needed fate shall decide.” Aiden’s voice breaks my thoughts. “Again this is fitting, isn’t it?” “Keep reading then…” Jackson says, his head in his hands, now sat on the sofa within his office, looking as stressed as I have ever seen him.

    I am sat in the room provided to me within the packhouse since I began working for Mystic Shadow Pack. I have done very little since returning here but sitting on my bed and trying to process the events of the day. And all I had come up with was that it had been one fucked up day. One thing after another that I did not expect. I had begun as a she-wolf heading for work, maybe fantasising a little of one of her bosses, then to be heading home to a warzone. Only to discover her fated mate was one of the enemies. An enemy that did not want to be fighting for them but had no choice. A fated mate that took my breath away… To have him snatched away in a heartbeat. My life turned upside down as I fled. Brought back to the pack I had been so desperate not to leave earlier that day… only to discover three fated mates. Three second-chances. Three second-chances that would not give me the chance I needed to consider what was best. My mind was a mess. Unsure of what I needed. Perhaps I

    I am never going to turn down my mate. She is requesting I stay with her. Of course, I would stay with her. Why would I not? I did not want to leave her in the first place. I had only caught sound of her words just as the door was about to close. Thank the goddess for our exquisite hearing abilities being a werewolf brought… “You want me to stay?” I ask, re-opening the door and quickly slipping inside, closing it behind me. She stands awkwardly looking at me, her beautiful silvery eyes looking anxious, like she was nervous to have even asked, but she nods. “Well, I told you I would be here whenever you needed me.” I say with a smile, implicitly glad it was me she called upon to stay with her and not one of the other two, though I do have a feeling that as soon as Jackson realises I am not walking behind him he will be here knocking on the door. I watch as she perches herself gently on the edge of her bed. “Why do things work out so strangely?” she qu

    I am not sure where I had found the courage to ask him to stay, let alone the courage to tell him I wanted him. Something had changed the moment I had marked him. Orla had been desperate to be alone with him too. We were now marked, both of us, we should be mated too. I had wanted him long before we knew we were mates, but this was an added need for him. One that was so difficult to ignore… all so new to me. Something I was not used to. I think he knew that. He had to be feeling the same things, right? As I wander across the room to him I see his eyes not leaving mine, the rise and fall of his chest has quickened, telling me he is more than a little flustered. “You have had hell of a day Ev, are you sure about that?” he says quietly, offering me his hand. Wait… is he trying to put me off? Did he not want me? My heart drops at the thought, and my wolf, Orla is whimpering within my mind… I have hesitated at the edge of the bed, and it has clearly made him aw

    I am looking down at my beautiful mate, hearing Evelyn moan for me as I teased at the wetness we had created only drove me closer to wanting her. Needing her. I had been thinking of this moment for so long, ever since we shared that first kiss in the office… I had wanted her then… if we hadn’t stopped things then, I am sure I would have taken her. I had wanted her so badly. But I had known there were reasons it shouldn’t happen… Yet now there was nothing stopping us. She was mine. My perfect, beautiful fated mate. Laying in front of me, moaning my name as I slide my fingers faster inside of her, her raising her hips to meet me as she kisses me with such intensity it is blowing my mind… I add another finger, feeling her tense slightly as her body adjusted, before I continue to tease, she seems to like the added pressure, moaning harder and faster for me as I build the speed a little more. She grips my hair with one hand while her other hand slips to my boxer shorts, sli

    I had walked from Evelyn’s room with the weight of the world on my shoulders. Why would she not give us the time together we needed to try to resolve all of this? If this prophecy was in fact written about us, then we had to work together to decide how best to work on this. Create some sort of a resolution. Instead all we seemed to do was anger her, though perhaps my behaviour was a little out of character… I cannot describe the feelings this is bringing to me, the constant pressure on my mind at the thought of having to share her with two other men. It turns my stomach. You were always raised to believe the matebond was sacred, that your mate belonged to you and you alone. That any relations outside of that matebond was sacrilege on the bond that our goddess created for you. And why would anybody want to do that to their mate? Though sadly many did. But I never thought that was right. I considered the matebond pure. Sacred. To be respected the way it was meant to be

    Wow. Wow. Wow. That had been so good. Cayden was amazing in every sense of the word. His touch had sent me to places I never knew I could reach. His touch creating sensations I didn’t know existed. My mind well and truly blown. I would be making sure he spent more time in my bed… “Come on Ev” I hear his voice disturbing my thoughts of him, making me chuckle to myself. “Okay” I step from the bed with wobbly legs and follow him to the bathroom to shower. I am trying so hard not to look at his naked body, which he has already teased me for. But I don’t think I would ever get used to being comfortable walking around naked with him, or seeing him walking around naked with me. ‘He looks good though’ Orla’s voice is suddenly there within my mind, making me want to giggle. ‘Look at that nice tight butt. Perfect for pinching. Or even better biting’ she is giggling, and I am having to bite my lip to stop myself giggling at what she is suggesting. Seems my wolf is a litt

    I awoke the next morning, cosy and warm in my bed, but I was terrified to find a heavy pressure upon my chest. My heart was pounding, as I struggled to open my sleepy eyes. It was only as I had eventually pried my sleepy eyes open that I realised Cayden was laid next to me in bed. The heavy pressure I felt was the weight of him half laid across my chest, his arm slung across me… I had no clue how he had ended up laid like that, he could not be comfortable, surely? Yet, that is how he was laid, and that is how he was sleeping. How had I forgotten he was in bed with me? My new mate. That had to be one of the best night’s sleep I have ever had. Until he had decided to try to smother me with his weight, of course... Being snuggled up against him, tight within his arms had felt so good. I felt safe and I felt secure there, like I belonged. A feeling I had not felt since being a child. I did not want that feeling to end. Though, I have to say, right now, he was crushing me und

    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

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 147 - Evelyn

    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

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 144 - Jacob

    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
