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
A bomb.A man came to the house with a bomb strapped on his chest. Demanded my mother call my dad to the house or there would be another man, like him pay the hospital a visit.The man also demanded my mother call me from school or another man would come to the school and blow up the place. My mother called me because in true healer style, we always sacrifice ourselves for others. Lucky for me, I was just rejected by Damian and I was on the floor of the boy's bathroom, crying for goddess knows how long. My dad answered obviously because he has a heavily pregnant mate. My mother could've mind linked me but she didn't, she didn't link any of us because she wanted to keep us alive, hoping and praying that we wouldn't answer the phone but my father did and he was also dead.When he got to the door, the house blew up. Xena tells me there were other bodies that sacrificed themselves to end my family. My mother ran for cover in
"How long have I been out?" I ask Carla.Carla was rocking Justin on the rocking chair. It was night time and the last thing I remember is bathing while watching Carla hold Justin."For a week. It's amazing what the body can do and quite amazing what you can do. Watching your wolf exit your body is something from a fairytale. I've never heard of such a thing." Carla says to me."Yeah lucky she could go hunt while I was out. Although now that she's not inside me, I could do with some food. Is there anything to eat?" I ask and Carla quickly stands, giving Justin to me."I'll quickly make you something." She says and I smile back at her.Carla opens the door to reveal Damian, who looked worse for wear. It looked like he hasn't slept in days and Carla was not surprised to see
It's been weeks.I have trashed this house beyond recognition, screamed my lungs out and fought anyone that walked in through the front or back door if they didn't walk in with my baby brother.The Luna had a broken arm but I'm sure it has healed by now. Damian, well he took a few punches. I'm not even sure where I didn't hit him.Of course I'm smart enough to know that even in anger, I could never take on the alpha. That's just disrespectful and I didn't attack Darlene, she tried to comfort me and I pushed her away, forgetting my own strength.She flew across the room and landed on her right arm. I mumbled an apology once and she brushed it off but she was clearly in pain.After some time, the Rivers
"So, when will you be visiting Justin dear?" Darlene asks me as she ignores her own mate. Serving me tea but not her love, I felt bad.I wanted to hand my cup over to him but everyone knows it's best to stay out of a lovers quarrel, especially the alphas."I... I spoke to Carla earlier and she said I can visit tomorrow. I've missed him." I say, looking at the both of them as they try to hide the obvious tension strangling each of us in this room.Could they breath? I couldn't."That's wonderful news. I'm glad you came to understand why I did what I did. You must know, I feel terrible for failing your parents and I had to do this so they can rest in peace." Doug says to me. I nod my head in understanding."I get it now. It would be selfish of me to stand in the way of my b
"I need you to be alpha." I blurt out immediately after Damian closes the door.He stays quiet, looking at me."Your cousin can't be alpha because he will just take me as one of his concubines. I can't have that and you can't allow that!" I say, hugging myself.Stories of my kind being used as sex slaves are never ending. I had vowed to myself that it would never be me but now that I had met a man that could potentially put me in that position, the fear was creeping in."I know. I saw the way he looked at you." Damian answers me. "You need furniture.." Damian says smiling but I don't smile back. "So? Will you quit the dream of going to college and save me from being that boy's slave?" I ask. Damian looks at me grimly."I have no intention in being forced to take ove
"My father won't let you leave." Damian says to me as he barges in to my room with no care in the world that I was still sleeping."What do you mean he won't let me leave with you?" I ask sitting up to look at him. Soft tingles shoot up my body when my eyes rest on him.Damian was shirtless as sweat glistened on his hard chest. Gray sweatpants hanging very low but showing me the necessary lines that lead my brain to dirty road.His hair hanging over his face, I could barely see his eyes, jaw tight out of anger but boy... boy did he make it look so good.How his hands are resting on the wall and his muscles tighten, his back to me. His entire back on display, all the muscles and sweat. "Are you even listening to me?" Damian asks which snaps me out of it."No. No I wasn't." I confess. He walks up to the

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
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 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
"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
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
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
Seeing Damian on the ground was enough for me to go into kill mode. His life has been threatened before, seemingly disposable and even though I have been my fair share of lovers over time, he is still important to me, and being my mate, protects him from all danger... Any danger that I can eliminate.If it is not the forces of nature or old age that dares to take his life, I will challenge any forces for trying to take him away from me.I had broken his back. The old Aaron look-alike lay with his eyes closed right next to Damian. The many people fighting outside stopped to look at the mess I had made, the trouble I have probably caused for this pack.He was definitely Aaron's father and that would make him alpha of his pack, with me attacking him, this meant war and I don't think this pack can take another beating... Not after the humans came over and killed most of them. They don't even know about me or my capabilities."You know what this means now..." Aaron says to me, standing nex
The travel back to Damian's pack was no easy feat. Having to reassure my people that they had to go back home and fix it up, making it the pack we once knew was tough as all they wanted to do was follow me but in time, I would return to guide them and to rule over them. I am a mated woman, one that is mated to an alpha, making this so much worse for me. One, I could merge the two packs but that was not my job and the job was not made to make anything easier for me. Between Damian and the pack, I will always choose my work over love but I promised to help Damian in winning his pack back and that is why I am here now, to defeat the current alpha and take back what is his.Naturally, I could just walk up to Aaron and kill him myself but this is also Damian's fight and I can only help him in fighting against Aaron and that is allowing him to find a way to defeat Aaron on his own and only jump in when he needs my help. "Has your uncle called?" Damian asks me. Night had fallen and even th
