last update Last Updated: 2024-04-08 18:21:25

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

    I have no clue what came over me. Aiden was talking, and then Micco was in my mind telling me to mark him. My canine teeth were there… Micco clearly assisting in that… the moment my teeth sank into his skin, all I could smell was him… and everything Cayden had said made sense. It was the strangest sensation. I felt a surge of something close to pleasure running through me as the part bond formed and snapped into place, and the taste of his blood filled my mouth. I licked the slow trickle of blood from the small scar I left within his skin, and I noticed him shudder, making me question if he had felt the same sensations I had. I do not look at men in the way he perhaps did, but I felt a pull to him now, I didn’t want him like Evelyn, but I am drawn to him. He is mine. Then I realised with a sinking heart I marked him without even asking him if that was okay with him. Yes, we were mates. It was something we had discussed would have to happen, but had not said when.

    The moment Jackson and Aiden left the kitchen I was ready to whisk Evelyn away to my room. So glad to finally be alone with her again. This sharing her was going to be hell! Though the fact I knew she had just been with Aiden, and the whole time she has been sat within my lap I could smell his scent all over her was more than a little off putting, I cannot lie! “Did Jackson seem stressed to you?” Evelyn looked to me, her head cocked to the side. I look back at her, a little surprised by her question. Had he? I can’t say I had noticed. Though with Evelyn sat on my lap, almost grinding against my cock, it was hard to concentrate on much else other than her. “Well, I was a little shocked when he marked Aiden out of the blue.” I admit. She shakes her head gently. “That wasn’t out of the blue though was it, we spoke about it, you guys said it had to happen, so it was planned to some degree.” I guess you could consider it that way. Still seemed a l

    I stand and watched Aiden pacing in front of my office window. He had barely spoken. I am waiting on Cayden arriving. Obviously he would be unable to respond seeing as I put a block on his mindlinks, irritated at the fact he had the nerve to argue with me. Knowing why he was choosing to argue with me was because he wanted to be alone with Evelyn… “Aiden?” I break the heavy silence weighing down the room, desperate to distract myself. He absent-mindedly glanced in my direction. “Hmm?” I walked over to the window to stand alongside him. “You seem quiet. You okay?” I ask, curious at the sudden change in him. “Hmm.” Was all I got in response again. I begin to think about how long it should have taken Cayden to get down here from the kitchen. He should be here by now. Even if he had snuck off to his room at the first given opportunity, he should still be here… ‘Cayden? You on your way?’ I go to link him, only to find the link blocked. I feel an

    Running down the hallway out of Cayden’s home my sides are aching from laughing so much. I cannot believe we have just done that. Jackson is a bastard for even thinking of it, but damn, I am glad he did, I have not laughed so much in ages. Cayden’s face was a picture as he turned around as that water hit him. Jackson grabbed my hand as we ran from the front door. “Quick we will head to my place.” So I followed him as we ran across the landing, still laughing. “That was so funny.” I say breathlessly as we reach his front door. “Cayden is out for blood. He just mindlinked.” Jackson tells me with a grin. “We got him good.” “He will be planning revenge then?” “Without a doubt. But we can always come back with better. Like I told you, the best team wins.” He winks at me as he goes to close the front door behind us. I look around his Alpha suite. It is nice. Similar to Cayden’s place, but more neutral in colour. The door pushed open just before Jackson was abl

    I cannot believe what I have just seen. Admittedly, I had been struggling to believe what Jackson and Aiden had done. That had most certainly taken me by surprise. But I could see that was perhaps done in good fun, they had been laughing and were clearly messing around, not that Cayden saw it that way. But this, no this was clearly done in anger. The atmosphere in the room when I walked in was tense. Horrendous. And quite honestly, it scared me. Seeing the three men I have been fated to attacking one another on the floor, for no apparent reason when we are all meant to be as one, meant to make one another stronger made no sense to me. It hurt. Even my wolf, Orla was whimpering. Though anger was flowing through me. These men are fools, yet for some reason they had been blessed to me. How are they meant to be the ones that are able to help me with anything other than going insane?! I was certain if this continued they would be the ones to send me insane! I head to my o

    We all stand up in the hallway of Jackson’s Alpha suite, looking dishevelled, and blood dripping from us. Bruises upon us in various stages of healing, claw marks and scars also in differing healing phases. Evelyn walked out on us. She sounded more than a little pissed off. Maybe fighting physically had been a little childish… a little adolescent… The three of us look to one another, the same uncertain expression upon our faces. “What now?” I asked, not liking that she had walked out so angrily. “We ask her to come back, I guess.” Jackson said, with a shrug. Hmm, why do I think it is going to take a little more than that this time? But, I suppose, if nothing else, it could be worth a try. We had to try something, because I truly did not want to leave it like this. ‘Evelyn, please, beautiful, come back, let us speak with you.’ I mindlink, hoping she would at least give us the opportunity to apologise to her and explain ourselves. She had to kno

    I see Cayden stroll from his apartment, now fully clothed and I have to say I am glad. The moment he noticed me taking in his half naked body was more than a little humiliating, yet he did not seem to even flinch. He was a werewolf, a Beta one too, he was always going to have a fine human form. But I know he is not interested in men, and I am certain the pull and attraction to him is nothing but the matebond we created in marking one another, and the connection through Evelyn messing with my mind. But still, I did not want him seeing me looking at him that way... There was never any attraction to him before when I had seen him around the pack. It made me uncomfortable that now I felt my eyes drawn to him. And on more than one occasion he had caught me eating him with my eyes. How I was going to cope living with the man was yet to be discovered... needless to say, I am more than a little nervous about that... “Right, we going to find our girl then?” Cayden asked wit

    The moment we walked into Evelyn’s office the scent of her was strong, which told me she had been in here not that long ago. But the frustrating thing was, she was no longer in here. The fact her blocks were up was driving me to insanity, and Micco was unbearable with distress. We had been fighting, this was not an unusual thing for wolves, especially strong, dominant male wolves. She surely understood that. We had done as she asked now and sorted through it. We were all adjusting to the situation, but she could not disappear at the first sight of trouble each time. That was not going to help any of us! I could sense the distress in Aiden, having marked him and him me, I had all the normal connections of a mate with him now, and he was as on edge as me. I had him marked as being quite laid back, so the fact he seemed extremely flustered and anxious told me that something was not the way it should be. I looked to her desk, and saw the bag for the phone I had reque

    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

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 149 - Evelyn

    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

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 148 - Cayden

    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
