last update Last Updated: 2024-03-18 19:07:29

I thought the atmosphere whilst sitting as we ate breakfast with Evelyn and her other two fated mates was awkward, but wow, the cold chill settling upon the room as Ariella had walked in was something else…

I had just been offering to mindlink her as it seemed she had a mind-block on Jackson, which I have to say tickled me a little, because I could feel her link through the pack links, so that tells me I should be easily able to mindlink her. Which means he is likely correct in his assumption she was intentionally blocking him. And also in his guess it was more than likely to irritate him. She did not like the fact he ridiculed her gifts and made it clear in his beliefs, so I don’t think I can blame her.

But still, the air within the room as she walked in here was unsettling…

“Oh, how lovely.” Her voice cut through the room, as she stood at the doorway, Jackson had his back to the door so was unaware of her presence as she spoke. I tried not to smile as I sa

    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 Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 61 - Aiden

    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

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Epilogue - Evelyn

    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
