The Alpha's Surprise Mate Tasty Surprise
Azalea I got up early again the next morning and once again joined them for a run. The sky was overcast and Rich told me that a storm would be moving in the next few days. This time we ran around the lake, the training center and the field. I remembered to keep my back turned towards them as I made my way back in the house. The kitchen smelled azaming as I passed through and I couldn't wait til breakfast. As I showered I thought about how I could show my appreciation for them taking me in this holiday and an idea came to me from the conversation we had with the butcher. He said that most of their meat came from the usual sources - cows, chickens, pigs and sheep- and that unfortunately when they settled here over 400 years ago, most of the larger game moved out of the area. As the settlement expanded into multiple towns they continued to push the animals out. There were some wild wolves and the such, but not things like deer, elk, wild boar or even bison. On occasion one migh
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Hunting for Treats
Azalea I threw on my black jeans and a black turtle neck with my boots and grabbed my backpack. I put on my jacket and gloves so I wouldn't be so cold. I opened the window just enough for me to squeeze through - I didn't want them to be able to feel the breeze through the open window. Once I was sure no one was around, I jumped to the ground landing silently on my feet. I glanced around again before taking off down the road, avoiding as many street lights as possible. I made it to Corey, the butcher's, shop right after 9. He had a small refridgerated truck running and when he saw me he jumped in the driver's seat. I hopped in the passanger side and he asked me again if I was sure. I just laughed and told him, "Let's go." I asked him about the town, about the alpha - both Rich and his son - as well as his family as we drove. Luckily he had a lead foot and there were almost no other vehicles on the roads we traveled as we made good time - only an hour and a half. He said he
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Meal Prep
Azalea I dozed for about an hour before we made it back to town around 4am. The town was dead quiet. As he backed into the dock behind his store I saw his younger brother and son come out to help. I asked that he send them in for a few minutes while I got the top ones out - the less people to witness my powers the better. He agreed and sent them in to make more space for what we had grabbed. Once they were inside he opened the back of the truck and I used my powers to lift several elk off the top of the pile and on to the tarp that was laid there. Once the stack was short enough that Corey could grab them, he called out his brother and son. Their eyes were huge as they saw how much we had brought back. Together we began bringing in the animals and placing them in groups. He left the deer in the truck and the bison on the tarp out back for last - not having enough room inside for them just yet. After looking over everything he told me that there was enough here to send a
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Early Morning
Azalea It was a quiet walk back as I was definately very tired. I'd been awake almost 24 hours now. As we approached the back door Alex grabbed my arm to stop me. "Thank you," he said. "You have made or will be making a lot of people's Christmas's, especially the older folks. This really is a treat. I will have to let the alpha know, but I will honor your request to not let anyone else know. Even the witches in the north will be excited - not only for the meat, but for the bones and organs. And if I may, the skins could be made into some blankets, boots, jackets, wallets that type of thing. If you go see Ashley at the clothing store she actually started out by making things from scratch so she might be able to help you." "Thank you," I replied before ducking inside. I ran into Karla who handed me 2 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches with a hug. "I got bison, elk, deer and rabbit and Corey knows you'll be coming around this afternoon for it," I said smiling back at her. "Yo
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Going to see the witches
Alex Rich had called me to the pack house as I was going about my morning. When I got there there were three huge boxes right outside the front door with Rich standing next to it holding a letter. I saw the delivery truck drive away as I approached. "Good morning. It appears that Alpha John has sent his thanks to us for keeping his daughter this Christmas. I am honestly a little surprised as I figured he would be upset, but instead he sent two wild hogs and a whole crate of wild caught seafood as well as some gifts for her. I've taken those in the house, but if you could arrange for the hogs to go the butcher I would appreciate it. I'll let Karla know about the seafood. I guess this year's summer solstice will have all kinds of good food this year," He said smiling. "Of course," I replied before linking to Corey asking him to send a few men and his truck to grab the hogs. Rich went back inside and I waited for Corey to arrive. "Now I'm curious as to where these fatties ca
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Witches
Azalea Cassie led me over to a house in the center and knocked. An older lady with a long silver braid thrown over her shoulder answered. "Hi Hortencia. This is my friend Azalea," Cassie said smiling. "I've been waiting for you. Come in let's talk," she replied to us. Just then Alex came up and she directed him to meet with another lady to put away the barrels he brought before joining us. I wasn't really surprised that she said she was waiting on us- everything I had been reading about witches led me to believe that some- the really powerful ones- know a lot and see more than they speak and I could feel her magic around us. We followed her to the living room and she ushered us to sit down. She had a fire going with something cooking on it as well as a tea kettle, which she pulled off. She poured us each a cup of tea and then sat down across from me. "May I speak frankly and freely?" she asked me. "Yes. She knows," I relied anxious to hear what she had to say. "For y
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Christmas Eve
AzaleaNeither of us moved at first, too lazy I suppose until I jumped off the bed and said "I'll race you to the kitchen" before running to the door and throwing it open. I ran down the hallway with Cassie laughing right on my heels. The twins were on the stairs chatting with their dad blocking the whole staircase, so I jumped up onto the banister and slid down making Cassie cry out "Cheater!". I had always wanted to do that since I was a little kid but had never been to a place that actually had the right kind of stair case. I had been thinking about sliding down it since the first day we got here. I was laughing too much though to stick the landing and ended up landing on my butt at the bottom."That's what you get," she stated as she rushed by me. I jumped up quickly getting back on my feet before turning and waving to her brothers and father who were now laughing at our antics and dashed after her. She had made it to the kitchen before me and was already pulling out the thi
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Christmas Morning
Azalea I had fallen into a nice deep sleep until a loud bang woke me up. I burrowed deeper under the covers not really wanting to be awake until I was tackled by two huge bodies. I couldn't see out but I knew exactly who it was by their smell and their laughter. The twins. "It's time to get up sleepyhead. It's Christmas!" Jason exclaimed, bouncing on my bed. "I can't. you two boulders are sitting on the blanket and I'm stuck," I said, my voice muffled by the blanket. They laughed some more and then suddenly their weight was gone. I snuggled into my blanket again hopeful they had left when all of a sudden the blanket was jerked from the bed. "Hey!" I exclaimed, sitting up and glaring at them. "What if I had been naked?" They both turned and looked at me for a moment and then Markus said, "Then it would have been the best Christmas ever!" They both laughed and high fived. However they did not see Cassie coming up behind them both and slapping the backs of their heads sim

The Alpha's Surprise Mate Epilogue
Logan It’s been a year now. To the day. Today is her official Luna ceremony and the whole council and all of our friends are here to watch and to celebrate with us. I won’t say it’s been easy, but it’s been worth it. To see the carefree way that she laughs and loves, different than before. It made me almost grateful that she didn’t remember everything and it’s been fun to make new memories with her. Seeing her finally walk down the aisle to me with her father by her side, both of them in tears, took my breath away. She was always beautiful, but today she was exceptionally stunning, stealing my very breath. Patching things up with her father again took longer than anything else. I hadn’t ever really talked much to her about her feelings towards him but he explained to me that she had told him she forgave him and that he needed to forgive himself the day before the war. And he struggled with it more this year as he tried to gain her forgiveness again.. But in the end I think he found
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Erasing memories
AzaleaI didn’t know where I was but where ever it was I felt safe. It wasn’t very bright a pale light illuminating a pathway in front of me. I felt something brush my hand and looked down to see my wolf beside me, her red fur shining and reflecting the little bit of light. How was she here with me? I thought as I ran my hands thru her soft fur, making her purr. I giggled. A wolf purring sounds kinda silly. She made a soft bark before bounding up the path away from me. I followed her quickly, not wanting to be away from her.It wasn’t long before I was in a clearing that was familiar to me. And in the middle, petting my wolf, was the moon goddess. “Am I dead?” I asked sadly as I approached the two. The moon goddess took my hand when I got close and gestured for me to sit, my wolf moving to put her head on my lap once I did.“Not yet my dear. You have a choice, you and your wolf. You did a good thing Azalea, but I know that it weighs heavy on your heart. You can choose, both of you to
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Clean Up
LoganI watched as her eyes turned back into their silvery color and finally close. I could feel her breathing and I could still feel a very tiny spark inside of her so I knew she wasn’t gone, just very very drained. I picked her up and began walking back towards camp. I kept my eyes forward, the scene around us too horrific to even imagine. I heard several people loosing their stomachs around us.Behind me I heard Lucas tell some of the fae “bring the rain. We all need to ... rinse the day off.” I had just stepped into the forest when I felt the rain start again. My little mate made the rain turn to snow the first time and then after than I think the fae were too scared to do anything. People moved out of my way as I walked, some moving in fear others in reverence. I signed and knew that there would be a lot of questions once she woke.I could feel the rain washing down my mostly naked body and shifted Azalea to the other side so that the rain could wash off Arick... or what was left
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Chaos
AzaleaI drew my sword and ran for Arick, not making it far before a were jumped in front of me. I dispatched him quickly and looked around for Arick again. I saw the working tirelessly with their elements, a storm brewing above us. The rain would start any minute and while that would hinder the fire fae it would aid the others. I fought off another attacker, still looking for Arick.I was distracted and barely missed the claws aimed at my face. Luckily my mate, in his large black wolf form had grabbed onto the body that tried to attack me.Eyes open my love, he linked to me as he tore into the other were. I turned and got a glimpse of Arick fighting through my second line. I growled loudly, putting power into it, causing the air to vibrate with my anger. The twins were nearby, fighting beside a few of the second line witches and fae. I used my air to push aside bodies as I made my way after Arick.The smell of blood and burned flesh because almost nauseating before the sky spilt open
The Alpha's Surprise Mate And thus it begins
Azalea I came back my arms laden with snacks and drinks and we sat around quietly munching. Steve and my father were keeping an eye on Arick’s camp trying to keep an estimate of people still coming in. They were already up to 7000. Suddenly the door busted open and there in the doorway stood my twin protectors, my friends, my brothers. I jumped up and rushed over to them wrapping an arm around each of them, the others on my heels. They sandwiched me in a hug squeezing the breath out of me for a minute before letting me go to greet the others. Behind them was Corsica and Stanley and I greeted them as well. We all squeezed in the small area while they gave an update. The twins had escorted the fae to their pack lands and had a quick visit with their family before returning. I was glad they were back and I told them that we had extra beds in the head quarters. Once Steve updated everyone on the numbers -8000 people now - we decided to call it a night. Tomorrow was the big day. I actua
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Attack on the Enforcers Headquarters
Taylor I spent a few hours with my pack, double checking gear, and doing warm ups with them to make sure we stayed fresh and ready to go. I wanted to have dinner with my sister so I headed back through the portal and began looking for her. I checked the hospital, the mess hall and head quarters before going to central ops. There I saw my father and Steve watching the monitors. I asked if they had seen her and they both nodded no. “I saw her last in the woods. That was a few hours ago. You might check there though,” my father said looking at me. “Alright. I’m going to find her and then go to dinner if you guys want to join,” I replied before walking out. I headed to the forest and began searching for her scent. I frowned when I didn’t smell anything until I remembered the potion. She ws probably still taking it for precautions. I began searching for signs and trying to listen hard for her breathing. Finally I picked up another heartbeat and followed it to my sister. She was asleep cra
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Distraction
Azalea I went straight out to my garden right as the sun was rising and began cutting the plants I needed. There was only one I needed and I knew who would have some as well as be able to help me. When I turned around to go back to the head quarters to see if she was awake, I was startled to see her behind me smiling. I smiled back and said “I should have known. You already have it don’t you? You don’t happen to have a reversal of sorts for it do you? I know it usually only lasts a few hours but I don’t want the twins knocked out for that long if they don’t have to be.” “I do and here, I’ve already prepared it,” she replied smiling as she handed me the wolfsbane and a small vial with a blue potion. I hugged her again and ran off to go wake up Steve. On the way I banged on the trailer door and said loudly to Lucas through our mind link GOOD MORNING LOVE BIRDS! I NEED YOU UP AND DRESSED. YOU HAVE A MISSION. I heard his growl and Cora’s giggle and knew that I would see them soon. Stev
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Let the Countdown Begin
Azalea9 days. And now that it was finally set, I was nervous. Were we really ready for this? Could I do this? I laid on the top of the RV looking up at the stars, letting the finality of it all wash over me. A year that passed so quickly and yet horrifically slow at the same time. Everything we’ve been doing cumulatively coming together. Tomorrow I would go to the fae lands and make sure that our people were getting sorted. The call would go out and they would begin pouring in from all over the country.Th elders would send out the call to be answered and answered it would like an echo in a cave rebounding exponentially. My front line of fae, witches and enforcers would be here in 3 days while those in the second and third lines would be in fae within the next 5 days. Chance’s team would join us on day 6 right before Arick’s team, ideally, would move in. Day 6 would also see all of the elders and the generals with me for a finally run down all together. In 6 days I would see my mate
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Visits from the Council
AzaleaWhile we were away Steve made the arrangements for the other council members to come visit later in the week. I spent most of the next day asleep but on the second day I was up and ready to go. Charlotte and Mrs. Morris, who would be interim witch council member, would be the first to come visit followed by Elder Chris from the bear shifters and Elder Sarah from the feline shifters a few days later, the later two who were each bringing with them their top alpha. Rich would be going back and forth as the council members were supposed to be visiting with "me" and him at our pack. In reality he would be helping them go back and forth between the portals. Chance and Lucas showed up on the third day like I had requested. We chatted for a bit and they were both relieved to see I was pretty much back to normal. I had Lucas and Steve put on their gear and show Chance how it worked. The metal smith fae had come through the night before and brought with them additional weapons wh
