I sit in the kitchen of the packhouse wishing I was anywhere but there. The atmosphere in there was so tense you could cut it with a knife. Jackson had changed in the last day, I barely recognised him with the way he was acting. And it bothered me. ‘He wants his mate.’ Orla whispers within my mind. ‘Well acting like that he won’t be getting her.’ I respond, watching his snappy interaction with the seer. The two of them clearly do not get along. He may be the Alpha, but I do think he should be showing her some respect. I feel Cayden’s hand, faultlessly in mine. And Aiden is sat, as previously, taking everything in. I can only wonder what he is thinking of all of this. As I look to him, his green eyes meet mine and he raises his eyebrows at Jackson arguing and he smiles. I roll my eyes. And Aiden smiles once more, his whole face brightens as he smiles. See, he seems to be a little more accepting of the situation we are finding ourselves in, or if he isn’t he is hiding
I sit with the four of them. The ones who will change our region. Bring peace. Bring security. I cannot help but smile at their naivety as they all seem shocked at the prospect of pups. They are fated mates after all. Three men to one she-wolf. Surely they had to realise the likelihood of pups? Two Alphas, one Beta, they would have always planned heirs had they not? Yet I mention pups and the shock across their faces was amusing. Shock and a look of fear. The sweetness is quite touching really. Yet I know the group of them shall make wonderful parents, bringing this pack some wonderful heirs to continue this strong and powerful pack. Some handsome Alpha wolves like their father's, not to mention beauty of a she-wolf, to light up a room like their mother. I can feel the strength coming from this young she-wolf, yet she seems completely oblivious. Quite bizarre. How had her wolf not told her of their abilities? Their fate? Her wolf had to have known… So why was it le
The three of us sit in the kitchen. Evelyn left with Ariella and I can tell it has left Beta Cayden, and especially Alpha Jackson on edge. I truly do not know why they fear her. She meant no harm, and there was no evil in her, though I do not think they can sense auras the way I do. This old seer had every good intention toward my new mate, I could feel that the moment she walked into the kitchen. Though her feelings toward Alpha Jackson were somewhat mixed, that was clear. She seemed to find some joy in irritating him, but with the way he disrespected her, I find that was more than justified. “So, do you believe everything she’s said?” Beta Cayden asks. “Has she really told us much?” Alpha Jackson asks. And I find myself smiling. He desperately wants to fight this possibility. “Well she did have quite a lot to say…” Beta Cayden begins. “Something to say Aiden?” Alpha Jackson says, interrupting him the moment he saw my smile. “J
We have walked from the kitchen down to Evelyn’s office. Jackson was a crafty bastard, using Aiden to create an excuse to come and find her. But Aiden seemed willing in this instance to go along with it. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, and I think if we have to live together as a group it could work. He seems pretty laid back, and he seems to have Evelyn’s best interests at heart, which at the end of the day is what a mate should have. Freaks me out a little that he seems to swing both ways when it comes to relationships, but he said he wanted Evelyn and only her, so he best stick to that, cos he comes near me and I’d chop his dick off. I am not into that, and being fated to two men was not going to change that, no matter what trick fate may be trying to play. “You think Evelyn will be pissed off?” Aiden asks me, breaking my thoughts. I grin at him. “You just figuring that out?” He rolls his eyes. “Maybe we should have left her to talk to Ariella about
That was the strangest sensation ever! That was the first time Orla has ever spoken through me. I felt a power radiating through me, like it felt like I was on fire. It felt so amazing. Addictive almost… And the look on the faces of my mates was one of awe. I am curious of what my wolf is actually capable of now. The things Ariella told me have intrigued me. Gifted? How had I never known that? Although, what bothered me more was the other things Ariella had told me. Once we had spoken of that and moved on to discussing the prophecy, I was shocked to discover the things I was expected to do to destroy this man. This beast of an Alpha. I was the light. He was the dark. Good and evil. Two sides of a coin. Could one truly destroy the other like this prophecy foretold? I hope so, because if not it would leave some serious damage in it’s wake, and I would be the cause of it… and I do not think I could live with the consequence of that. Orla was truly powerf
We sit in the office and finish our coffees, a comortable silence within the room as all sit together. I ntoice the other two men are frequently glancing in Evelyn's direction, likely checking she is okay, much like I am. I hope she is finding this okay. That she comes to adjust to the situation we find ourselves in. I look across to her again, at the spot she has taken on Cayden's lap, and I note a content smile on Evelyn’s face as she gazes out into the garden through the window of her office. I think she may be okay. She looks happy. I love seeing her settled. This is what I had wanted for her. I just hope we are able to keep her safe. Perhaps the fact she has these additional mates that fate has gifted her will be the thing that keeps her safe. Gives her the additional strength that Ariella has spoken of. Maybe I need to try to see some positives in the situation we find ourselves in instead of trying to see the negatives that constantly come to my mind. At the end of the day,
I listen to my mates once more bickering around me, until Aiden makes a very sweet promise to us all, which warms my heart. I was only half paying attention, as their bickering becomes tiring after a while, but that I had heard. I realise it had to be a massive step for Jackson to accept Aiden as a co-Alpha within his pack, and deep down I knew that he was doing that for me. For our matebond, and I was touched by that. I just hope he continued on with that dedication to the bond. “So, mates.” Cayden says with a hint of sarcasm. “Where we sleeping tonight?” “Well we can use the Alpha suite if you like?” Jackson suggests. “Could head to the house first to see what you think we need to order so it is here as soon as possible.” “I can get some from camp to help with decorating and putting furniture together, I am sure they would be happy to help.” Aiden says with a smile. “Yeah?” Cayden looks to him. “You not think they see that as you rubbing it in a litt
Cayden pauses at my words, his face falling at the way I am looking at him, as we reach the gardens of a beautiful, big house. A driveway running up to a garage with large black door. And a neatly cut front garden, with a stone path running up to a white wooden porch, where there was a large black front door, matching the shade of the garage door. “Why don’t we go inside?” Jackson says, rushing to the front door, and I swiftly follow, desperate to follow him, desperate to apologise him for hurting him last night. Make him aware I had no clue it would do that to him… “Ev, baby, what is wrong?” Cayden asks, he sounds concerned as he quickly follows me. Did he not get the message I was angry at him? Hurt? Surely the way I had spoken to him must have given that away? Yet here he was following me, desperate to check if I was okay. Wanting to know why there were tears in my eyes. Tears caused by the actions of us both... “Did you know last night, us do
