The Alpha’s Scorned 97. Trepidation
...Darius POV...I found it rather hot when Wynter started barking out demands to everyone in the room. However, it wasn't necessary. Alpha ceremonies just aren't celebrated like many would think. With Wynter being a rogue, she had no way of knowing. There wasn't an alpha ceremony at Blood Moon pack, nor was there one anywhere she travelled. Alpha ceremonies took place once every twenty years or so in a pack. They weren't all that common. I knew some packs would celebrate it, but many stopped doing anything, as attendance dropped over the years. Not many were that interested in participating.I could see Wynter was hurt, so I went to her in hopes of comforting her. Though the moment the words were out of my mouth, I knew I'd messed up. I'd basically just said that because she was a rogue she wouldn't know about pack traditions. This may be partially true, however, there are many rogues that know about pack life, as they once lived in a pack. Pack life isn't secret, and most wolves kno
The Alpha’s Scorned 98. Trust Fall
...Wynter POV...Before Darius had somehow figured out how to find me, I was lost in my mind. An overwhelming sensation washed over me, making me feel hopeless and lost. I started second-guessing myself to the point that I started questioning my role in my relationship with Darius. It was no secret that Darius was meant to be an Alpha. But for some reason, it was as though my brain only just registered what that meant for me.I was glad that Darius figured out a way to find me. He managed to calm me down and make me see that my thoughts had begun to plague my mind. I fell in love with Darius, even more when he told me that he would be willing to give everything up for me. Not that I would want him to, but the sentiment held a lot of power. It made me realize that I would never stand in the way of his destiny, which meant that I would be at his side the entire time. I just had to work on trusting him more. Being rogue meant that I wasn't used to trusting people. At any moment, someone
The Alpha’s Scorned 99. Alpha Ceremony
We woke up the next morning to the sound of birds chirping. A smile crept over my face as I remembered the events from last night. I turn around in Darius' embrace, placing gentle kisses along his body. I felt his arms pull me in tight along his body as he began to answer my kisses. "Good morning, beautiful." Darius says, making me smile."Good morning, Acushla." I reply, smiling."Acushla?""It means my heartbeat." I say, smiling."What language is that?" "Gaelic. I learned a bit from my travels. That was just one that stuck with me. I thought it was adorable. Plus, it's how I feel about you. Without you, my heart wouldn't beat. You mean the world to me."Darius spins us around, leaning over me as he kisses me."I think it's perfect, just like you."Darius continues to kiss his way along my body, making my head tilt back from pleasure. His lips find my core, making me melt in his hands. I so badly want to continue this, but I know we can't."Acushla, we need to stop."Darius sighs
The Alpha’s Scorned 100. Plan B
...Darius POV...After a bit of 'fun' in the closet, we made our way into town. Since we were going by car, the trip would take a few hours. We stopped for lunch before heading to the shop where I had first seen the oracle. "I'm nervous." Wynter says, grabbing my hand."Why?" I ask."What if he doesn't tell us what we want to hear?""That could happen, but regardless of what happens, just know that nothing could ever make me stop loving you. We are in this together regardless of what he has to tell us." I say, raising our entwined hands up, to kiss her knuckles.I watch as she smiles, then leans her head against my shoulder. I can hear her heartbeat relax, so I take that as a sign to continue forward. I squeeze her hand gently, as we make our way towards the store."Uh... Darius?" Wynter questions."Yes, Farfalla?" I ask."Are you sure we're in the right area?""Ya. Why?"Without responding, she raises our hands upwards, gesturing towards the store in front of us. I look where she's
The Alpha’s Scorned 101. Repent
I see tears beginning to form in Catherine's eyes, only proving that Wynter's hunch must've been correct."When did you find your mate?" I asked."I met Jason the day after my 16th birthday. He was a warrior from my pack. He was so sweet and loving, and truly perfect.""What happened to him?" Wynter asked."We were attacked during the middle of the night. We were led to believe that it was rogues, however, nothing ever felt right about it.""What do you mean?" I ask."The attack was just too precise, and yet lacked motive. Typically if rogues are attacking a pack, they go straight for the packhouse. However, that wasn't the case. Rather they targeted the omegas dwelling, which was where Jason lived with his parents. Jason protected his parents from the attack, but was killed in the process.""I'm so sorry." Wynter says, as I nod my head in agreement."I was really heartbroken after that happened. I couldn't eat, and never wanted to leave my room. My dad had heard about the amazing pro
The Alpha’s Scorned 102. Rogue
...Wynter POV...I have no idea how I even managed to do what I just did for Catherine. Once Catherine mentioned that she didn't want to be Darius' mate, something inside of me snapped. It was as though I was just watching the scenario, opposed to actually living it. I felt Caedance become stronger. She took over me when we confronted Catherine.Caedance had done something to Catherine that revealed her true heart. We could see that she was being honest when she told us about her father. We could see that she truly longed for her true mate. Which made Caedance empathize with her. Neither of us liked the idea of someone being without their mate. While Catherine had played a part in keeping Darius and I away from each other, she was still innocent. I could hear Caedance chanting in our mind when she placed her hand over Catherine's eyes. When I looked back into Catherine's after Caedance had lowered our hand, I saw a look I was all too familiar with. The look of desire for one's mate.
The Alpha’s Scorned 103. Banished
...Wynter POV..."Xander Stone, you have betrayed your pack and your people. You have committed treason with the attempt to kill my mate, and your Luna. From here on out, consider yourself banished from the Blood Moon pack."I was both surprised and impressed with the way Darius handled that. I didn't think he would've been able to banish his own father from the pack. Neither of us had discussed Xander's future in the pack. Rather we tried to avoid the topic altogether. I didn't know how to respond. While I know Darius was left with no choice to banish Xander, I also know that he's not going to respond to it well. No kid would want to banish their parents.I walked towards Darius, taking his hand, to let him know that I was there for him, while not moving my attention away from Xander. He was a loose cannon, and I wanted to be ready for whatever he does next.To my surprise, he doesn't fight us. Instead, he turns his attention directly at me. He stares at me with the most menacing smi
The Alpha’s Scorned 104. Hunger
...Darius POV...I knew Wynter was really tired, so I figured by the time I finished showering that she would probably be out cold. I opened the bathroom door, expecting to see Wynter out cold. Only to see her munching on a half eaten pizza. "Where did you get that from?" I asked, surprised."I don't know. I thought you had ordered it." She says, putting down the piece of pizza mid-bite."Where did you get it?" I ask, suddenly alarmed."It was just over there, with all the others." She says, pointing towards the little kitchen nook in the far corner of the room. I turn to see where she's pointing, to notice that there are a stack of pizzas on the dining room table. All from various pizza places from around the city."What the..." I begin to ask, only to be interrupted by someone knocking on the door.I turn my attention to the sound, as I make my way over to the door. When I open the door, I find one of the omega's standing in front of me with yet another box of pizza. The omega bow
