ALPHA POV
I wake in the morning to Moira's small knock on our door.
"Yes, Moira. Come in," I say, standing up in yesterday's shorts and dirt.
"Breakfast is ready, Alpha," she says before stopping in her tracks when she sees me.
"Alpha, did you sleep while dirty," Little Moira asks while chuckling at me.
I glare at her. Of course, I did. I needed rest, not cleanliness. Being clean does nothing to help you survive. She begins to laugh hard at my expression.
"Stop laughing," I order immediately.
She stops and smiles at me. "Alpha, please shower. The pack expects you to be clean and presentable. They will already be worried that Emmett is not in control," she says reasonably and respectfully.
I nod my head at her words. She is entirely right. The pack will be worried.
I shower and dress our human form in workout clothes: breathable shorts and a tank top. I want our body on display when we see Lisa again. I will make our mate drool wi
R rated chapterALPHA POVI walk into our home and smell lunch. Moira is going to make a great housewife for someoneone day. Emmett growls at my thought."Alpha lunch is on the table for you. I have already eaten. I am going to let Molly run," Moira tells me with a little head bow."Stay away from the border," I order her as I pass to the dining room."Yes, Alpha," Moira says, heading out the door.Alpha- patrol, Moira is running in wolf form. No rogues will enter our lands while our sister is alone.Patrol- yes, Alpha.I eat the massive ham sandwich Moira made me in five bites. I wish Emmet would eat more in human form, but we never have time. I gulp down the fresh lemonade. Our small omega, Cinthia, enters the room almost immediately after I finish with my dishes."Are you finished, Alpha? I am about to wash dishes," little Cinthia asks me with her head bowed."Yes, little one," I say, standing from my sp
LISA POVI am antsy for five 'o'clock to get here. I need to apologize to Emmett. Hopefully, his wolf part won't be in control this time. However, his wolf is somehow calming to me.He is straightforward. He explains Emmett's and his emotions without hesitation. His explanation has me hating myself, though. Emmett has been nothing but kind. When he overreacted with Wayne, he apologized in front of his pack, which was incredible for an Alpha.My crew's progress today is steady, and we are back on schedule, even with the rogue delay from yesterday. I am hoping that will ease Emmett into forgiving me easier.Finally, 4:45 arrives, and we pack up. I shoot Scott a text about meeting at the gym and wait for Emmett. I try to control myself, but my eyes scan the road for his fantastic form over and over again. Scott doesn't message back, which I find to be weird. He usually replies immediately, almost in a creepy twin way.Finally, I see someone approaching the
EMMETT POV"Alpha, EMMETT," Moirayells while shaking my arm.Alpha answers her with aloud growl."Alpha, it's Lisa. You need to link Mike," Moira says quickly with a bowed head.I shove Alpha back and take control of our body. Before linking my Delta.Emmett- what is it, mike? Is she ok???!!!!Mike- yes, Alpha. Abby disrespected Luna tonight. I am bringing Abby to you. Luna .....beat her...pretty bad.Emmett- (growls) what did she say?Mike- she called Luna a disgrace and made a sexual comment about you. Luna didn't seem surprised, but her rage was......... it's hard to describe Alpha. I will let you see Abby first.Emmett- .......hurry.Does Lisa know about Abby? And how can she have put that tone of fear into Mike's mind? He sounded genuinely fearful for his sister, even though a few bruises should heal in a couple of days.Alpha- that slut. I turned her down today while you were recovering. She must hav
LISA POVEmmett is already so upset his wolf is in control, and last night I beat one of his pack members. Even with the mate bond, I might have overstepped and lost us the job."Scott, no one has called from Riverstone right," I ask my brother after Wayne leaves the room from signing his disciplinary."No, why," Scott replies while filing away Wayne's paperwork."I'm scared I put the job in jeopardy, Scott. I umm...was extremely disrespectful to Emmett two days ago, and last night with your booty call, I went way overboard. He might not tolerate me on the site anymore," I say while throwing my body into an office chair.I didn't even want to look at Scott. He was probably pissed."Lis, just apologize, and you know wolves are kinda violent. They handle things a lot like you do, physically. She has wolf abilities Lis. She is probably already healed," Scott says, completely surprising me.My eyes shoot to my
R rated chapterLISA POVI storm up to Emmett'soffice, remembering the route perfectly. I forgo any knocking and slam his door open. Emmett's massive, intimidating frame is sitting behind his desk.His face does not look like a fearless, strong Alpha. He looks tired and petrified. His eyes are wide, taking in my angry face.I stand up tall, showing my 5'11" frame, and I feel my neck veins bulk. His clear panic is evidence enough. He did it. He touched that whore. He didn't stay clean for his mate. I didn't know I was going to ever be a mate, but I was completely clean before him. My brain screams at me that he must have confided my lack of experience to her."You nasty f*****g sleaze. How dare you. Did you have a good laugh, huh? Did you tell her I was awful? How dare you not wait for your mate! You..... you ASSHOLE," I scream, feeling the tears I held downstairs start to flow.I move around his desk quickly and shove him
LISA POVTwo weeks laterEmmett and I have been on three memorable dates. The mate bond is solid now. He isn't even able to stay away from the job site for more than two hours at a time. He seems tense until he sees me working.Rogues have attacked Emmett's territory twice. After each attack, I have seen Clint drag a single wolf towards the packhouse. The wolf is ordinarily unconscious. Emmett informed me that the rogues are trying to recruit for their war with the hunters. After the last law was passed declaring wolves to be equal citizens, the number of hunters has tripled.It makes my stomach turn that humans kill entire wolf families. They do not care what age; they only see an animal. How anyone could see an innocent child as an animal is beyond me. Emmett said hunters have not been a problem for his pack for many years. And rogues must just be getting desperate for new warriors.Scott has been helping on the job site, but he doesn't visit the pack
LISA POVToday was long. My musclesache from overuse, and my clothes are soiled. The summer heat has been relentless. My men moved slowly today, and our progress stalled. But I can't risk my crew getting heatstroke.Emmett should be here anyminute for the walkthrough. Which if I'm being honest, the walkthroughs have been reduced to heavy makeout sessions.I'm scribbling todays notes in my spiral when Emmett wraps his strong arms around my waist and lays his chin on my shoulder. I'm happy I am a tall woman, or our cuddles wouldn't fit so perfectly. I sigh as the tingles release the tension in my shoulders. I ran the circle saw all day today, and my shoulders/back are killing me for it."Hey, baby. How was today," he says while pressing a kiss to my neck."Slow and hot. How was yours, Wolf Man," I ask, truly curious about his day? It seems when we aren't together, he lives in his office."Paperwork and more paperwork. But I did set up my
LISA POVAfter taking a fantastic shower and ordering supplies for TwinConstruction, I decide it is time for bed. I slip into a pair of Scott's old shorts and a tank top. When my head touches my pillow, I'm out.My dream was different.***I am standing in a field of white flowers. Thousands of wolves are running all around. They don't seem real. They each have a ghostly appearance to them. Many stop and look at me when I decide to start looking around. I walk for a long time, and as I walk, the wolves begin to follow me. Some even let me touch their fur as they walk beside me.Finally, I arrive at a flowing stream. I decide to enjoy the calm and sit down. The wolves scatter around me. They, to lounge. But they seem to be waiting for something. I turn my attention to the steam. It flows at a medium pace and makes a calming noise. The steams water looks completely untouched. It is crystal clear and perfect.Woman- Lisa, what too
R RATEDTHIRD PERSONThe vampires move so fast. Splitting through the wolves, killing as they go. Rogues and Warriors alike, they don't care. Alpha shouts loudly, barking orders to the inexperienced wolves.Riverstone has never had a vampire as an enemy."Go for their hearts!" "Form circles!" "Protect each other!"Lisa and Moira are put in the middle of a very protected circle. Lance, Mike, Clint, Scott, and Alpha demolish attacking rogues with ease. The vampires seem to be targeting the confused wolves first. One female vamp approaches quickly, but Clint rips her heart out. A male Vampire screeches in pain.He moves at heightened speeds going for Clint, but Alpha blocks him. He does an elegant spin move avoiding Alpha's huge hand that reaches for his heart. He lands in the circle dashing towards Moira.Scott growls loudly. His arms are full. He has a struggling rogue in wolf form by the neck. The vampire doesn't slow down. He shots his hand out to rip Moira's precious heart out of her
LISAPOVThis morning felt quiet, calm, and eerie. Lance, Clint, Mike, Scott, Moira, Emmet, and I ate breakfast quietly. My skin is crawling with unease. We had all woke up exceptionally early, almost as if we could feel the threat approaching."So to pop the awkward bubble, everyone can feel it, right," Mike asks with his cheeks filled with sausage."Yes," I say, sipping my coffee squeezing Emmett's hand.This is the first time I have had to calm him constantly. Alpha is pulsing under the surface. He wants out. He wants to run his border and confront whatever is coming. But the plan is a group battle in the training field, not scattered battles in the trees."I've had constant contact with Craig all morning. The entire pack is feeling what we are feeling," Lance sa
R RATEDEMMETT POVHow can she be so perfect? So strong? She stands there getting congratulated by three strong Alphas and has over 700 wolves all admiring the ground she walks on.My manhood twitches. This perfect creature is ours. Suddenly I don't want her around anyone. Jealousy and lust pricks at my skin. She is standing primarily naked in front of hundreds of eyes. I can smell many unmated males' arousal, and it makes Alpha growl in our head.Lisa meets my hungry gaze with a knowing smirk. She can feel my arousal through the bond. The knowledge alone has me repeating history. I grab her and fling her over my shoulder. Riverstone wolves erupt into cheers."Emmett, my butt is showing," she says with a smile in her voice. I growl and shift her into a bridal hold.
EMMETT POV"I, Alpha Karen Gray, Challenge you, LunaLisa Matthews, to the death, for the title of Luna to Riverstone pack and the right to mate Alpha Emmett Stone," Karen says with a sneer.I growl loudly. She wants to be my mate..... she wants to strip Lisa of her rightful position. My wolf will have to honor the bond if she defeats my love. But if she loses, Riverstone gains her entire pack.My whole pack growls loudly. Mike and Moira are trembling with rage. Clint's fists are clenched, and Scott is smiling. Full-on smiling."I accept your challenge, Karen. You will never have my mate," Lisa spits the words. Loudly."Do you realize my sister has killed two wolves in like two months Bitch," Scott suddenly yells. "Oh, and she has only been a full werewolf for...oh
LISA POVI can't believe a slutty little wolf thought she could touch my brother. Alpha Karen's she-wolves must be completewhores.And I can't believe Little miss Alpha Karen thought she could undermine me and speak to my mate so informally. Linda has taught me Alphas arealways called Alpha, except by family members or their mates. Shoot, even Clint, Mike, and Lance call Emmett Alpha. And they are his closest friends."Let's go for a run, love. We need it. Then after you can go work on school work. Take some time and relax. We will have couples gym time tonight," Emmett says, stroking my hair lovingly."A run sounds amazing. Linda is extra energetic today," I say, pecking his waiting lips.I loved how he hadn't spared Karen even a glance when he sided with me
SCOTT POVIt's been a weeksince our group discussion at the table. All the allied wolves are here, and Riverstone is overflowing.Training has been intense—two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. The difference between our wolves and the others is quite noticeable. All of our wolves, down to the omegas, have stamina and strength. But most of the visiting warriors can't keep up. A couple have even lost sparing matches against Riverstone Omegas.Lisa and Moira constantly train together. Moira can now land solid punches, and Lisa has gained some of Moira's quickness. And may I say my little mate is sexy when she is sparing. I now understand the reason those guys liked watching Lisa fight that she-wolf.My sword work is actually pretty impressive, but I prefer daggers. The daggers aren't he
EMMETT POVI sigh as I drop into my chair. Alpha feels drained from having to end Ryan's suffering. Lisa rubs my shoulders with steady hands."She named their pup Joel," I say, wanting to talk about something positive but finding nothing."That's a good name. You said he gets a family," she asks with a curious tone."Orphan pups are quite rare for our pack. The last rogue attack was when I was 18 and Moira was 15. But even from that attack, we only had a few orphans. There are about 11 mated couples that just absolutely adore kids. So we set up a system. We rotate the couples and place children when they need it. I prefer that then an orphanage. Now, if we ever get an abundance of orphans, of course, we will have to change the system," I explain while rolling a pen around on my desk, enjoying her massage.
R RATEDMOIRAPOVScott's hands constantly find me. He either touches my hands or my hair every time he passes me. He has been on the phone for hours, pacing back and forth. The construction on the second location seems to be very stressful. He has run his fingers through his hair multiple times.I finally stand up and lick his mark. His entire body goes as stiff as a board, and I almost giggle. That got his attention."I'm going to go make us lunch," I say, blushing at the new look he is giving me.He actually slaps my butt as I walk away, and this time I do giggle. It's a nice feeling to be wanted. I do feel a little guilty. Just yesterday, I had kissed Mike with a massive amount of passion and desire. I know for him those feelings are still raging, but for me, th
SCOTT POVI wake up early. Honey and cinnamon have filled my room. The smell is intoxicating, and it is pouring from the delicate flower in my arms. I feel strange. All my senses are heightened. The room looks clearer. I can hear Lisa in the kitchen, and Ican even smell her.I untangle myself from Moira slowly, kissing her forehead before my feet land on the floor. I pull on a pair of sweatpants and exit my room as quietly as possible. Once I am in the hall, I am hit with a masculine presence. I sniff the air and find a strong pine scent mixed with honeysuckle.My instincts immediately tell me who the scent belongs to, Emmett. Shit, I'm dead. I walk to the kitchen silently. Preparing for my death. Lisa is the only one I see, so I slowly relax."Morning Lis," I say curiously. Lis is rarely ever here in
