The moment Jackson and Cayden seemed to agree to me coming out to see Aiden I was off. They seemed genuinely accepting of me needing to see him, and I appreciated that. Hearing Jackson mention the possibility of Aiden leaving once all this prophecy stuff is done scared me. I didnt expect to be fated to three men, three strong wolves at that, but they are mine, I feel drawn to them all, despite not marking them all yet, and the thought of losing any of them petrifies me. I need his reassurance he would not leave me.... I rushed down to the camp where I know Aiden and his pack are staying, only getting lost a couple of times on the way. I ask Orla for help and she laughed at me! I swear I have a wolf who seems to find it funny that I get lost… As I walk along the footpath, getting a little closer, I can see the tents in the fields, and can hear the movements of the people within camp, likely getting up for the day. My mind is wandering as somebody approaches me from behi
My heart was pounding within my chest as Evelyn begun her sudden little strip show for me as we moved through the house. This was not what I had expected when I suggested coming to the house for us to talk. I thought the house would offer us some privacy that my camp would not, and I still had the keys after yesterday. But this… well… she took me by surprise… and I was not going to complain… And as her fingers trailed across my chest, sending shivers through my body and she whispered. “Were you going to say no?” there was only ever going to be one answer to her question… To feel her half naked body pressed up against mine my whole body feels alive. My wolf, Rek is pacing within my mind, so desperate already to mark our mate. Knowing she is finally here and wanting us. My hand is running through her hair, our tongues entwined as I feel Evelyn moan against my mouth. “I can’t tell you how bad I want you…” she murmurs between our kisses, her hands runnin
I finished cooking some pancakes for breakfast, wrapping them in some foil to take down to the camp. The lazy bastard of a friend I had the pleasure to call my Alpha, sat drinking a cup of coffee chatting to me, he was clearly happy and content this morning having spent the night with Evelyn, only irritating me further. I knew I had been a little offhand with her and I felt guilty the moment Jackson pointed it out. So, the moment she asked if she could go and see Aiden and we sort breakfast I felt unable to refuse her. But I did not appreciate the lazy ass of my so called best friend passing off all the work to me. “Done.” I tell him. “You not cooking bacon?” he asked, earning him the darkest and moodiest glare I could muster. I swear I wanted to swing for him right now. He simply chuckled. “Come on then, oh cheerful one.” He placed his mug into the sink, knowing one of the omegas would come by and clear up for us. “Let us go and find our mates.”
I lean on the kitchen counter, a naked, trembling mess. How can we have gone from enjoying ourselves so much to this? “Aiden!” I yell this time, as he is almost at the front door, having lent on the wall to put on his sports shorts, and shoes, he was good to go. “Will you stop and fucking listen to me?” He turned to me, his emerald green eyes staring out at me through the falling blond curls dropping down over his face. I swear there were tears in his eyes. Had I upset him? How? I had never said I was ever going to reject him… well… maybe… but that was more a threat, and I am pretty sure that was more aimed at Jackson when he annoyed me. But not recently. And most definitely not after he marked me. Did he truly think I could reject him after we had just done what we had? And considering the reasons I was here he could not be further from the truth... My heart ached at the thought, and my wolf Orla was whimpering in my mind, she was unsettled at the prospect of one
Cayden and I reach the packhouse kitchen before Evelyn and Aiden, so I find some plates and begin to brew some fresh coffee while Cayden sets about heating the pancakes. “Like deja-vu” he jokes. “Too right.” I smile. “Did Ev’ speak with her brother last night?” Cayden asks. I nod. “Only briefly. Things are understandably pretty hectic there. I think if he was brutally honest he is glad she is safe being here.” Cayden frowns. “Change of tune then. Not that he could argue with fate. Mates are mates. Are they managing against Night Shade?” I slowly shake my head. “He wouldn’t give much information. But we know what they are capable of.” I place four mugs of coffee onto the table, hoping that Evelyn and Aiden had at least finished with one another for the day, and are close to arriving or else this breakfast was going to waste. Cayden slips onto one of the bar stools next to me after placing a plateful on pancakes and syrups onto the
Evelyn had made her way to my arms almost immediately when she came into the kitchen and I was unable to resist her once she was there in front of me, and pulled my arms around her. She wanted my touch, and I needed her there. My heart pounding in my chest now she was next to me. I sorted her some pancakes onto a plate and pulled her to my lap, she playfully wiggled where she sat, instantly bringing my cock to life underneath her. She was a terrible tease. ‘That is not a good idea Ev, I have thought of nothing but you since our night together’ I link her, and see a smile spread across her face. I glance up to Jackson and Aiden and can see them talking at the other side of the breakfast bar. Not that they would hear our mindlinks, they were private. That was why I had chosen to mindlink her. ‘Aww, did you miss me?’ she teased. ‘It has only been a night.’ I sigh. ‘A night too long.’ She giggled, ‘Ooohh, my man seems quite demanding. I think I like it
We sit watching Ariella. All three of us confused. One moment she was talking, her words a little confusing, much like Jackson has often told me, they sound almost like a riddle. Then her eyes glazed, and she went into what could only be described as a trance. Her body sagged against the breakfast bar at which we were all sitting. Aiden instantly went to stand next to her, saying he did not want her falling from her stool. We sat waiting for a moment. All of us not taking our eyes from her, wondering what was happening and if the frail old woman in front of us would be okay. The way her eyes were glazed, but seemingly focused on something far away was eerie. It gave me goosebumps. “Is she okay?” I looked to Jackson. Had he witnessed this before? Yet he seemed as panicked as me. I could see his skin was a little pale. “I honestly have no clue.” “She is having a vision.” Aiden says calmly. He from the three of us seems the least effected by what is happen
I sit taking in everything around me as Ariella speaks, and the moment her final words come from her lips I see a look of realisation hit the faces of both Cayden and Jackson, and I see their faces fall. I, too, understood the meaning behind her words. She had seen the visions linked to this prophecy, how many, she had not disclosed, but she knew that her end was linked to it, and that in itself must be terrifying to have realised. Yet, this strangely intriguing frail old woman, seems bizarrely calm about the whole thing. Perhaps she did not fear what was to come... I see Jackson’s face is now etched with concern, and considering the times I had seen him with this elderly woman they had done little else but bicker, it surprises me that her imminent demise would affect him so greatly. “You will have died?” his voice is hoarse, telling me he is struggling to get his words out. I can see Cayden’s eyes watching Ariella’s response intently too. Maybe the Beta and the Al
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
