"Tell me how my mate died," I repeat while taking another slow step towards the bigger vampire.
I discreetly sniff the air, and Helios growls within our mind as Monica's scent saturates our nose. I immediately link Jason.
Jacks- Monica's scent seems to be concentrated on this male. He is her killer. The others are useless.
Jason- useless and weak. These guys aren't even trying to take advantage of their speed in this small space. They fear us too much to move. Use it! Monica instilled fear in their hearts for us, brother.
"As my associate said...we were only passing through. Your Luna decided to play hero Alpha King...unnecessarily, I might add. We weren't planning on hurting anyone. Killing innocent creatures who acted in self-defense isn't very noble of you," the vampire lies, and his two remaining friends fall dead behind me.
Jason moves to my side, covered
Age 15Third PersonEthan snarls as he rips through the attacking rogues with blinding speed. He watches as the twins usher their Aunts and cousins into the safe room before turning to look back at the burning house. Emmett's house.The smell of blood floods his system. He watches as the Royal Pack makes its first stand in 16yrs against a vampire/rogue attack. He growls as he sees a scentless rogue creep from the forest.He has to make sure no one sees the boys, or the Queen's plan will fail. He darts forward as silently as possible. He twists the wolf's head swiftly, breaking its neck immediately before running back towards his princes.Once in the room, he sighs a breath of relief. The royals knew this day was coming for years and had planned accordingly. King Emmett and Queen Lisa knew the vampires would come for their sons once they hit their teen years. So they put an elaborate s
PG 13 Mature LanguageTHIRD PERSONJason and Jacksonstand tall as they discuss their future with Ethan. Their 6'2" teenage frames are long and lean. Both have their arms crossed as they explain their dream."I'm sorry your mother was not here to lessen the blow," Ethan says lowly as Jackson finishes telling their tale."You knew," Jason says lowly with a glare that could kill."Your mother finally confessed to me the full extent of your wolf spirits two years ago. She confided in me because I, myself, had many questions," Ethan replies with a stern look of his own.Jackson clears his throat, "what do you mean?""Well. Look at me. How old do you think I look," Ethan said while spreading his arms out wide, presenting himself to the boys.Jackson's eyebrows pull together with confusion. They roam their eyes over Ethan's youthful appearance."I look almost identical to when I took the life bond oath. So I asked your mother. She
JACKSON POVI roll my shoulders.After working out for three hours, Jason and I finally felt a little bit better. We both use exercise as stress relief typically. Something our parents taught us. I smile to myself, thinking about the time mom out lifted dad.Dad, Jason, and I had been down in the gym pumping for a competition dad was going to enter when mom had come in. Jason had made a comment about how mom could never lift like dad. We were nine at the time and a little pig-headed. Mom had laughed, shoved dad out of the way, and benched his max weight.She only did one rep, but that was enough. Both our mouths had hung open, watching her leave the gym. Dad then punched Jason in the arm and said, "she is going to make me sleep outside if you keep talking like that boy." I laughed and laughed at both of them. I laughed at my brother, who had thought because mom was female, she couldn't compete against dad, and I laughed at my dad because even though he was hug
THIRD PERSONOne month laterClint groans as he slams down his phone. His new office in the packhouse is large but disorganized. So much is happening, and it is too much too fast. Grief still clings to Riverstone and himself. But along with the grief, Riverstone is also drenched in the need for revenge. Every single wolf is training daily. The protective shifting outfits are being shipped out to all wolves everywhere, and Riverstone wolves are wearing them constantly.Scott is busy rebuilding all the structures that were lost in the attack, including Emmett's home. Scott and Clint know that when the boys return, that is where they will want to stay. Scott and his restoration crew are salvaging as much as possible, but it will still be a new build. Several other homes were also destroyed, but Twin Construction hasn't missed a beat.Vampire attacks are happening all over the world on a large scale, and Clint fears the werewolf population doesn't have three year
97 YEARS LATERAMELIA'S POVI let Eve burst through myskin as the sickly sweet scent of vampire falls upon our campsite. Wolves shift all around me as we all make a break for it. As rogues, we never stand together. It's every wolf for themselves nowadays.I make a beeline for the coast, using the underbrush to hide my medium-size frame. My black wolf is mostly invisible tonight due to the cloud cover, and I am thankful. I have to survive tonight because tomorrow I finally get to set sail to America. The last stronghold werewolves have. The packs there are still functioning, unlike the packs here in Europe. My pack was one of the last in Scotland until five years ago.Five years of living as a rogue. Five years of fighting. When you are on your own, you fight for everything: your food, shelter, and even your virtue. At 20 years old, I've done a fantastic job. I'm still pure, and I'm still strong. I am the fourth child of the late Alpha Connor and Luna Ma
PLEASE LEAVE REVIEWS IT HELPS MY STORIES!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN IMPROVE OR WHAT I AM DOING RIGHT. THANK YOU R RATED CHAPTER AMELIA POV The males and I move to the ship quickly. We have to board. There is nothing left for us here. The ship has Riverstone on the side in red, and it fills my soul with hope. Three burly wolves stand on the deck with grim expressions. We watch as ropes and chains are attached to the dock before we walk up to the ramp. The three big wolves make their way to us. I feel the males beside me tense and stand taller. "Just three," burly one asks. "There were 11. But our group was attacked last night by three vamps," the older male answers with a firm voice. "Hey, but a female made it," Burly two says with excitement Burly one lets his eyes roam my body before sniffing the air. "She smells clean. Not pregnant. No male scent besides human," Burly one says lowly with his eyebrows scrunched together. "Amelia isn't like the other she-wolves. She is sti
JASON POVMy joints crack and pop as Iroll out of our bed. Every ten years, we get a new mattress, and that time is fast approaching. I nudge Jackson in the back before heading to the bathroom for my morning routine.After using the restroom, I scrub and rinse my 25 yr old face. I still can't get over it. We watched everyone we ever loved turn grey and old, while here we sit at 115 looking like we are still fresh. Personally, I want to punch every mirror in this house.Each of our cousins lived long lives for which I will always be thankful. Clara and Tray were true mates but never had any pups. We think it was because of the Goddess. Lenny was rejected by her true mate. And lived with us every day of her life. She was our best friend until the day she died. Jackson and I never told her we killed the little bitch who rejected her. ( Lenny was gay ) We just couldn't believe her soulmate threw her away like that, and the Lycans didn't tolerate seeing her hurt.
THIRD PERSONJason andJackson tug on shorts as they enter the cells with caution. Each doesn't know how to feel. Their best friend, guard, and brother has found his mate. But somehow, it doesn't feel like a happy ending for the mateless Beta.Ethan paces the hall in front of the female vamps cell, pulling his hair and cursing under his breath. His protective suit is stained with vampire blood and soot."Chill, man, we will sort it out," Jason says, seeing their friend's expression.Ethan's head snaps towards them with a growl. "I COULD HAVE SAVED HER. SHE WAS A HUMAN. THOSE LEECHES GOT HER FIRST BECAUSE I WASN'T LOOKING FOR HER," Ethan explodes, and the Lycans roar back at his disrespect"I'm sorry, but it's true. I didn't think I would get a mate so soon since our lives are going to be ....... FUCK... who knows how long. And she was alive. Breathing. Now, look at her," Ethan collapses to the floor.Ethan tucks his knees to his chest and wee
"Tell me how my mate died," I repeat while taking another slow step towards the bigger vampire. I discreetly sniff the air, and Helios growls within our mind as Monica's scent saturates our nose. I immediately link Jason. Jacks- Monica's scent seems to be concentrated on this male. He is her killer. The others are useless. Jason- useless and weak. These guys aren't even trying to take advantage of their speed in this small space. They fear us too much to move. Use it! Monica instilled fear in their hearts for us, brother. "As my associate said...we were only passing through. Your Luna decided to play hero Alpha King...unnecessarily, I might add. We weren't planning on hurting anyone.

Hurry up. Hurry up. The thought repeats in my mind over and over again as I pace back and forth near the packhouse. The warriors around me try to act like they can't feel my impatience, but I know they can. Their eyes keep darting from the forest to me. Jason took off over ten minutes ago. He should have at least updated me. Something has to be wrong. Someone I love is hurt. I can feel it! If it were Jason, I would physically feel it....it has to be Lenny or Mon. Jacks- Jas, I told you to update me! Have you found anything? I roar through our link, but he doesn't reply. In fact, I can hear the echo of my words bouncing off a faint wall. Jason closed me out?.?.?. That means he is either fighting or he found out who was hurt. Jacks- High Alert. Stay here. I order the warriors closest to me before darting towards the line of trees Jason disappeared in. I focus o
Helios growls as we charge towards the closest pack, which is a small pack called Sun Moon. It was established not long ago by surviving wolves wanting to be closer to Riverstone and has done surprisingly well. The battle-hardened wolves might be small in number, but their skills are impressive. My warriors flank me as we make a beeline for their closest border. Although Sun Moon is tough, worry is coursing through Helios, and I like poison. Sun Moon is new and just getting into its second generation. If vampires get within their land, their low numbers will be decimated. Because no matter how strong they are, vampires can hit them with numbers. I shift as soon as I cross into their territory and sniff the air. I let my strength roll off of me in waves. If vampires are present, they need to sense me. It might save lives, but as I take in my deep breaths, my senses tell me the vampires most likely di
TWENTY-SIX YEARS LATER, JACKS, AGE 73MONICA AGE 50 Watching people you love grow old is hard, but knowing my time with them is coming to an end is gut-wrenching. Watching Lenny get wrinkly and Monica's dark hair turn grey is like slow torture. When our aunts and uncle passed, it was natural all of them lived long, happy lives. But knowing Lenny will pass away and we won't is excruciating. She is the same age as us even though we only look twenty-five. When we found out Uncle Scott and Aunt Moira died together in bed while they slept, we had smiled through our tears. Neither of them had to live without the other, and they had seen all of their children grow old. Scott had been 96, and Aunt Moira had been 93. Beautiful ages to leave this world. Even Aunt Simone, who had to live without Uncle Clint for so long, died peacefully with all of us
"I'm so happy you finally get to come home, Jack. I missed you," Monica says for the third time. I give her a grin and kiss her forehead. She is holding onto me as if she hasn't seen me for a year. "How much did you miss me," I ask in a low voice filled with double meaning. She smacks my arm, but a naughty smile can't help but pull at her plump lips. "You just got out of the hospital," she scolds, and I laugh. Before she can say another word, I swing her towards me. I lift her up, and her long legs wrap around my waist. I give her a hard kiss before nipping at her lips with my teeth. "Well, I guess I need to reassure you that I'm okay," I whisper before kissing her again. I squeeze her ass cheeks as we walk back to our little house we share. I want her. For the past 24hrs, I have been craving doing ex
Helios sniffs the air deeply as we share control over our lycan form.Helios- More than threeJacks- We should play spy before attacking. See why they are here and if reinforcements are coming.Helios- The trees are too spread out. We will make noise leaping from one top to another.Jacks- Fuck. Vamps seldom spill, and if the rogues are too far gone, they are a lost cause as well; we will get nothing. Helios growls as we both try to piece together the best way to handle the situation.Helios- we don't have much time. Jason and the warriors are most likely heading this way. We need to decide, Jackson. We can try the trees, but you have to give me complete control. Your handling of my body isn't as practiced as mine. I roll my eyes. I don't even respond before turning to the nearest tree and beginning to climb. Helios huff's inside our head, but I ignore him. When I reach the high
After that walk, everything seemed to fall into place. Monica talked, and I listened. I spoke, and Monica listened. We became close friends and then lovers. Now, I can't picture my life without her in it. I know one day I will have to say goodbye, but I don't want that day to come anytime soon. "Babe, are you here," Mon yells as she opens my office door, looking flushed. "Yes, I told you I would be," I reply, standing up from my chair. Jason smiles at Monica before returning to the alliance proposal he is working on for the African packs. "I know. I'm sorry, I am just excited. Are you ready," Monica asks as she holds up a plastic bag from one of our in-pack stores. Excitement shoots through me, and Helios seems interested in our mind. "You want to that here," I ask, quickly walking to her side to peck her lips. She kisse
Blood is pumping so loud in my ears I can't hear anything as I crash through the window designed for my large lycan body. Shards of glass and wood shower the ground as I land on pure white fur-covered paws and charge. Rage is seeping from every pore on my body. I want his blood. I want to skin him alive. How dare he come into Riverstone after rejecting one of my members. How dare he have sex right next to where Monica is. I roar, and both the naked wolves snap their heads in my direction. The female scrambles to gather her clothes, but I don't pay her much attention. I want the male. I want his blood. I want to bring him as much pain as he has brought his mate. How can he be so callous? How can he reject his life partner and not twenty-four hours later be with not one but two other females? I hate this male with every fiber of my being. "Alpha," the female squeaks as my large clawed hand wra
"Thank you, Alpha," Monica whispers after a second of silence, and I nod. "Sorry for interrupting. Please continue," I mumble after calming down and readjusting myself in my chair. Monica takes a deep breath before starting again, and I watch her. She isn't hiding behind her hair anymore, and I like it. What I said must have given her a little bit of confidence. "Joseph was very degrading. When he asked for my name...and I shook my head to tell him no that I wouldn't tell him my name. He then informed me that he needed my name because he had no intention of mating, and he definitely didn't want me as his permanent "screw." He said he is of Alpha descent, and females need his "boys" actively helping out with our population. After that, I saw no reason not to give him my name......I mean, I waited, Alpha. I waited for my mate. Most of my friends haven't, and I understan
