Aaron and his brother were camped out just outside the pack. Well hidden by the trees and bushes surrounding them. The alpha, Aaron's dad lay on the ground still out of it.It was clear he was in a lot of pain but he was sleeping, forcing his wolf to heal him. Aaron was huffing and puffing, complaining to his brother, who seemed not so interested in Aaron's blabber. No, bigger and worse Aaron was more worried about their dad. It is clear that he is as very fond of his dad, and probably also the favorite son seeing as he became alpha and Aaron was sent here to take over if Damian couldn't."I hope I am not interrupting anything," I say, walking out from the bush I was hiding behind. The boys stood up abruptly, shocked that they had not sniffed me out before exposing myself."Came here to finish what you started?" Aaron asks and I shake my head no."I am here to give you both a chance to keep your lives. Leave here, go back to where you come from and never come back. Stop trying to cl
The doctor came to see Damian while I was away, keeping him heavily sedated to promote healing as he tried to wake up once and fight again. He could not force himself to sleep like Aaron's father to promote his healing, worried about the state of his pack. Damian's parents have flushed this pack down the drain. Sitting in the office when I am not checking up on Damian, the financials are worse than I thought. How the pack is surviving on a minus is a shocker to the system. The pack has been lied to for many years, they were doing okay but in reality, they were a fast sinking ship. "Hello, uncle," I say to Reginald over the phone. There was some noise in his background but he could still hear me. "What is the matter? You don't sound too happy..." He says. "The pack is in trouble. Their finances are... well, this pack is in the red and I don't know how Damian will be able to save this pack without dipping his entire form in the troubled waters..." I say over the phone. "The answer
"Wake up, beautiful..." Damian whispers in my ear. Little did he know that I was already awake, listening to his heartbeat and trying to enjoy life's little pleasures like the sound of his heart beating, proof of life.I open my eyes to see his gorgeous eyes staring back at me. I have known love, I have experienced love in many different forms and every time I experience it, it feels like the very first time. it feels like a world anew and with Damian, it is as if he is teaching it to me for the very first time."I don't think I will ever tire of this." I say to him and he rewards me with a kiss. A quick peck before leaving a trail of kisses from my lips to my collarbone."How are you feeling?" I ask him. His uncle really did a number on him and it Is important that he heals completely before we take them on, securing his place as the alpha."Getting there... I'll say, it's taking me a little longer than I thought." He says to me.I push him off me to take a good look at him...Strad
I could feel Damian's uncle almost at full strength.This was not good because he was stronger, much more than Damian could ever take on. I could help but if he is to be alpha, he needs to win the fight with an alpha and even though Brock relishes bloodshed, enjoys bringing pain to people and causing havoc, Damian stands a better chance at winning against the human wall over his father.Truth be told, I was not convinced my mate is in good health and he is adamant that all is well but the injuries he sustained should not have healed this quickly and maybe I can do something about it before he decides to take on his cousin."A penny or kiss for your thoughts?" Damian walks into his office. I looked at him and I am sure dead sure he could see the worried look on my face."Your uncle is almost in full health. He remains asleep but in a day or two, he will wake and look for you." I confess."Then let him!" Damian says with his hands balled into fists. I could feel his emotions swirling ar
The pack watched me as I dragged an unconscious Aaron by his leg towards my house.Damian was standing by the door when I made it home and he followed me into the house, his gaze never leaving my face as we made our way upstairs. The tension in the air was palpable, filled with unspoken emotions. Once inside the bathroom, I turned on the water and let it cascade down my body, washing away the sweat and grime from the confrontation with Aaron.As I stood there, Damian hesitated for a moment before slowly undressing and stepping into the shower with me. The warmth of the water and his presence beside me created a cocoon of intimacy."Jeannie, I can't just sit back and watch you put yourself in danger," Damian said, his voice low and vulnerable.I reached for the soap, avoiding eye contact for a moment. "Damian, you can't keep shutting me out. We're in this together, as mates. I can't stand idly by while you risk your life recklessly."He took the soap from my hand and began to lather it
I couldn’t sleep.Damian was snoring next to me but I could not, for the life of me, fall asleep. Something felt off…Something was wrong and I hate this feeling. Not knowing why I feel this way, what is so wrong that my body won’t let me sleep?And then I heard it.Wolf howls and loud ones. Brock had come for his brother and he wasn’t alone.I knew he would come back for him but why was this one making me feel uneasy? Could he have an ace up his sleeve? Not much can be done to me but why was I feeling like this?Damian woke to the sound of the howls, looking at me all confused before it clicked in his head what was going on. “Are you ready?” I ask him.Damian gets out of bed, putting on a pair of sweatpants, and nods his head. He needed this fight to get his people back, to show them he was not his parents and that his heart was always in the right place.“I will get Aaron, you rally up your fighters,” I say, leaving the room to get to the basement.“Scared yet?” Aaron asks me as I
In a desperate moment, fear has taken deep root within me and I decided to use Damian as my inspiration. For the love he has for his pack, in trying to prevent a big loss within the pack, I channel my dark powers differently, weaving a protective barrier around Damian. The three wolves, guided by unseen forces, are gently repelled before reaching him and sent flying to a distance. Damian, momentarily confused, notices the mystical shield surrounding him and quickly notices the three wolves a few feet away from him.He recognizes them. Using my powers, I communicate with him telepathically. "Damian, trust me. I'll keep you safe. Focus on Aaron, and let me handle this."With newfound determination, I redirect my attention to Brock. "You want a fair fight, Brock? Let's do this differently." I summon a soft, glowing light, enveloping both of us in a magical field that nullifies physical harm. "Now we fight with our claws," I suggest, ensuring a non-lethal confrontation. Brock, still fr
Every year since I was a baby, we have been moving from pack to pack. Sometimes we would stay for only a few months but never more than a year because our lives were in danger. My kind was being hunted down for being different. I'm a werewolf, yes. My father, my mother and I have the ability to shift in to wolves but there's something else. We are the healer pack. In our pack, every wolf was born with special powers to heal and once the pup turns 13 and shifts for the first time, they are sent for training until they reach the age of 16 before being placed in a new pack to be a healer. Now, my pack was attacked. By who? We don't know yet but the aim was to kill us all. My father, the alpha, tried to get as many healers as possible but many lives were lost. The thing is, we can use our powers to do harm but my father, the alpha is against it. So instead, the warriors trained to guard us tried to fend off as many attackers as p
