Nico
“Yeah. Quiet little thing. Her name is Ahsoka.”
“Like Star Wars?”
“Yeah. I think it’s a cool name.”
“Nadia I think she is my mate.” When I mention this I hear Ms. Hadley gasp and look at us with a apologetic look for eavesdropping, but I know it’s kind of hard not to watch someone sign. I look at her confused as to why she seems concerned about this.
“I’m sorry Nico it’s just that, she is human.”
“That can’t be right. A wolf has never mated to a human.”
“Hello there future alpha. Is there something you need from me,” asks Mr. McGuire.
“Yeah I wanna know everything there is to know about the new girl, Ahsoka.”
“Oh her, she’s a harmless human. Very sweet girl it seems, she is no threat to the pack. She just moved here with her father from Idaho. Very smart girl from what I can see from her class schedule. She is mute but is able to sign. She came to the right school to help her with that. From what the teachers just told me she is a jumpy little thing. She doesn’t like being touched and appears very scared of people,” Mr. McGuire informs while signing so Nadia doesn’t miss out on the conversation.
“That’s odd, why is she so scared?”
“Not sure. She is not very talkative, I mean she doesn’t sign much and appeared to keep to herself.”
“Well if she really is human I’ll need to speak to my parents. She is the only new student we have and Ace is sure he smelled our mate. What classes does she have tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow she has US history, Chemistry and PE.”
“Shit this girl is smart. I have PE with her and that’s it. I don’t have any AP classes.”
“Of course your mate would be the smartest human we have in the school. She flew through the questions given by our teacher faster than anyone,” signs Nadia.
“Come on little sister, I am sure Natasha is waiting for us so we can go get Nuka. Not a word to either of them. I want to talk to mom and dad first.”
Nadia completely ignores me and heads out to the car. Natasha is my twin sister and we are both juniors this year. Nadia is a sophomore. Our little brother Nuka is in the eighth grade. Nadia had an accident when she was really young and she ended up deaf. The whole pack has learned sign language for her as she didn’t have her wolf at the time to heal her or to be able to mind link anyone. I follow Nadia to the car and I can see Natasha jumping up and down in excitement. Of course Nadia just couldn’t keep this information to herself.
“Oh my goddess, brother! You found your mate!”
“Ugh…Natasha no need to screech it out loud. I am right next to you. And I don’t know. Ace is sure he smelled her today but we never found her. I was just informed of the new student, but she’s human.”
“Come again brother.”
“You heard me Natasha. The new girl is human so unless we had a new wolf join the pack this human must be my mate. We need to go talk to dad.”
Natasha drives to the middle school to pick up Nuka and then heads back to the pack territory. I am dreading speaking to our parents. I don’t know what they will think about having a human as the next luna of our pack. She will be a bit of a liability with not being able to protect herself.
“Mom! Dad! We’re home,” yells Natasha to where I am sure the whole house heard her.
The pack house is three stories with a cellar for the wine and other alcohol my parents keep down there. The top floor has my parents bedroom along with five other bedrooms for my siblings and I. I doubt mom is going to have anymore kids so the last bedroom sits unused. The Second story houses the beta and gamma’s family and the main floor has a library, kitchen, dining room, game room and two offices. One for dad, his beta and gamma and one for me, my beta and gamma.
“Come to the dining room, Nancy has dinner finished,” yells mom.
I sign to Nadia that we are heading to the dining room for dinner. She gives me her smile and I can’t help roll my eyes as I turn around so she can jump on my back. I carry her to the dining room as she giggles on my back. Mom smiles at us as we enter the dining room.
“How was school everyone,” asks mom as we enter the room. Oh shit here we go. Natasha definitely has that look that she is going to blurt out what happened today.
“Nico found his mate!” Damn it Natasha.
“What! Oh my goddess! Dimitri come here!”
“No mom, wait!”
I bang my head on the table as I am too late, Dad is already in here. He looks at mom like its the first time he has laid eyes on her. It’s always been that way with them. I hope my mate and I are just like my parents.
“What is it love, you sound excited.” Dad grabs my mom by the waist bringing her closer so he can kiss her.
“Can you guys do that when we are not in the room,” I groan not wanting to watch my parents make out.
“I’ll remember that when you start making out with your mate Nico,” says mom.
“What, you found your mate Nico,” asks dad excitedly.
I glare at Natasha and she just smiles and walks over to her chair. I set Nadia down so I can use my hands. I know she hates being left out of the conversation.
“I think so. Ace is sure he smelled her throughout the day, but we couldn’t find her. I asked Mr. McGuire about what new student had arrived. It turns out the new girl is human.” I cringe waiting for their reaction.
“Ummm…are you sure your mate is human,” asks dad.
“I don’t see how she is not. I have met every she-wolf in our pack as well as all the other surrounding packs. Ace smelled her today. He sure she is our mate but I haven’t laid eyes on her yet.”
I can see mom and dad are mind linking each other, like we all aren’t standing right here knowing they are talking about me. Nadia gives me a hug before sitting down next to Nuka to dig into dinner.
“Well, let’s not jump to conclusions son. Try and find the new girl tomorrow and see if she really is your mate. It could be your mind playing tricks on you.”
“I have PE with her tomorrow. What if she does turn out to be my mate? Have you ever heard of a human mating to a wolf?”
“Well no but if she is your mate the goddess has a reason to pair her to you. We trust the goddess in her decisions so you should as well. We will accept her no matter what. It’s telling her and her parents of the shadow world that will be difficult. What is her name?”
“It’s just her and her dad. I don’t know what happened to her mother. Her name is Ahsoka.”
“Like from Star Wars,” asks dad.
“Yeah, though try not to make a big deal about it. I could tell she gets that question a lot and she seemed a bit annoyed by it when I asked,” signs Nadia.
“That would annoy me too. I won’t say anything.”
“Well lets eat. We can figure out what to do tomorrow if she does turn out to be your mate,” says mom.
I didn’t expect my family to be okay with me being mated to a human. I truly have the best parents ever. While we eat we all mind link to keep Nadia in the conversation. There is laughter and teasing all around. I wonder what my mate is up to right now.
AhsokaI wake up earlier than I normally do. Dad normally doesn’t hit my face, but he was so drunk last night he struck me. I tuned out my surroundings that I don’t even remember him hitting me. Thankfully it’s not a huge bruise on my cheek but I’m having a hell of a time covering it up with make up. I’ll have to keep my hood up to cover my face. It’s slightly noticeable if anyone was looking too long at my face. I give up trying any further and head downstairs to make father’s breakfast. Once breakfast is finished and I clean up, I turn to head out the door to find father standing in the doorway watching me. “Sorry my angel. I didn’t mean to scare you.” Father walks over to me and reaches to touch my cheek. We’re back to being nice, well his version of nice. I flinch slightly ,but his touch is soft as I hear him curse under his breath.“I should’ve never struck your face. Now be a good girl and hide it well. You do that and I’ll have a gift waiting for you when you get home.” He is
NicoI am so excited for today but I try not to get my hopes up too much. I want my mate, but I am apprehensive at having a human for a mate. Plus she could also decide to reject me and want nothing to do with the shadow world. That would feel even worse than searching for my mate. There is no such thing as second chances. The goddess must have a sick sense of humor. My first two classes are agonizingly slow. Ace won’t stop whining in my head which makes me agitated making the wolves around me run for the hills.“Dude you got to relax. Maybe we can try and find her at lunch, everyone either hangs out in the quad or in the cafeteria. This is not an open campus so she can’t leave,” says Jackson. “It has got to be weird to have a human as a mate,” says Jayden, Jackson’s twin.I hear Jackson give his brother a growl and smack him upside the head. They may be twins but Jackson is stronger, and smarter apparently, so I made him my beta and Jayden is my gamma.“What was that for,” whines J
AhsokaI feel bad I didn’t say goodbye to James today, but I am too worried father will know what happened at school. I haven’t been at school for even a week and someone already found out about the bruises. I cross my fingers that Nico doesn’t say anything. I get inside the house and begin getting dinner situated. I hear the front door slam shut letting me know he is not in a good mood. He must know.“Hello angel. Did anyone notice your bruise?” I don’t know if this a trick or not but I decide to lie since I know he will hit me anyway if he knows.“Good. I am proud of you. I have something for you.” He hands me a small bag. I slowly open the gift he has given me and find it’s a book on angels. I am slightly confused at his gift, but sign thank you to him anyway.“Angel’s are a gift from heaven and being that you are one, I figured you should learn about who you are.”I know he calls me angel but I question his sanity if he believes angels are real. I see his eyes narrow and I look
AhsokaMy eyes go wide and I am frozen in fear. Right in front of my face is a wolf. He has golden eyes and reddish brown fur. He is huge compared to typical wolves. My heart is racing, but begins to relax as I stare into his eyes. I have no idea why, but I have a feeling he won’t hurt me. His eyes are soft rather than menacing. The wolf sits and then lowers it’s head onto my lap. Okay, I guess I have befriended a wolf. I hesitantly reach out my hand and pat his head. He moves his head up towards my hand and I flinch, pulling my hand back. The wolf whimpers and puts his head back down. I don’t know why but I decide to sign to him.“This has to be the weirdest day for me.” The wolf lifts his head to gaze at me and I feel like he is actually understanding what I am signing to him. “Okay and now I am having a one sided conversation with the wolf.” I smile at him and he licks my face.“Um, lets not do any licking.” The wolf nudges my stomach and I wince. He whimpers at me and I lift my
NicoThe house is extremely tidy and there doesn’t seem to be any family pictures on the wall. It’s like this house jumped out of a magazine or something. I sniff the air and catch Ahsoka’s floral scent leading to her bedroom. Her room is bare, I don’t find anything personal about her in the room. Her clothes are neatly hung up, her shoes are in a perfect row and her bed is made with no wrinkles.This house is making me uncomfortable. I leave her room and sniff again. There is a strange damp scent in the air that I can’t place. It’s almost putrid. I’ll have to ask dad about it. The smell is coming from her father’s room and it’s definitely strongest in here. I snap out of my investigation as I hear the bus pull up down the road. I hop out the window I came in and lay by the tree we were at yesterday. My heart flutters as I see Ahsoka smiling and heading straight for me. She drops her bag and plops right next to me. “Hey big guys,” she signs. I nuzzle her neck making her giggle. Damn
Ahsoka I check my watch and frown. We still have an hour left of school, which means I’m stuck here until the busses get here. I grab my back and head out to the bus line, sitting on a bench until the bus gets here. I feel a tap on my shoulder that makes me jump and I turn to see Nadia.“Hey,” she signs with a smile. I smile back and wave at her. She sits next to me with a huge grin.“So there is this bonfire in the forest that the seniors are throwing this Saturday night. Wanna crash it with me?”“I shouldn’t, my father would be very unhappy if I snuck out and I don’t want to be the third wheel with you and Jayden.”“Don’t worry, Natasha is coming and so is Nico. The boys will hang out and us girls will hang out. Please come?” She is giving me puppy dog eyes and it makes me giggle. Father’s note did say he wouldn’t return until Sunday evening so he would never know if I went. I have never done something behind my father’s back and he would for sure kill me if I ever got caught. “S
NicoI make my way to my couch and I go through her file. She is a straight A student taking advanced classes since the seventh grade. I wonder why she hasn’t graduated early. She must have the credits to do so at this point. All her school pictures are here. She starts off with bright eyes that appear happy and full of life, but over time her smile has faded and the brightness is gone from her eyes. I can see her sadness in her eyes from her last picture. There really isn’t much more than that so I toss the file on the coffee table and make my way to the bathroom. I need to get to bed. I can’t believe I’m going to the dumb bonfire where the boys get drunk and the girls get slutty.“Our mate is not slutty,” Ace argues.“I wasn’t adding her to that category Ace.”“Better not or I’ll kick your ass.”“We’re in the same body stupid.”“I’ll still kick your ass.” “Go to sleep Ace. We will see her again tomorrow.”Ace curls up in the back of my mind and I feel him fall asleep. I do that sa
AhsokaAs soon as I reach the porch the door flies open. I can smell the alcohol on his breath. He looks past me at Nico and then glares daggers at me. He grabs me by my arm, dragging me inside and slamming the door shut. I stand in the middle of the foyer watching him pace back and forth. He turns towards me and back hands me, causing me to fall to the ground. I cower against the back of the couch, my hand to my cheek. “I thought I’d surprise you by coming home early but I come home to an empty house. Where were you!”My hands shake as I sign that I was at a bonfire. He make me stand by pulling on my hair, putting his face in mine. He backs away from me and points at the front door.“Who was that boy you were just with.”“Just a boy from school who offered me a ride home.”He chucks his glass across the room. It shatters, sending glass flying all over the floor. He grabs me by the throat and shoves me against the wall.“You are mine, no one is going to take you from me.”He shoves m
Hey Y'all, Thank y'all for the love and support throughout this book. I am so glad so many of you have stuck through this with me and enjoyed this story. I promise the story continues and have begun writing the next book which I will post here. I have read your comments and heard the frustrations of how short my chapters are and y'all would like more than one chapter posted at a time. I will post take that all into consideration when posting my next book here. I know I have many other characters throughout the book. Let me know which stories you'd like to know more about and I'll maybe write some side stories. Keep an eye out for the next story The Tribrid's Daughter. I'll leave a little synopsis of what the story is about. It's been seventeen years since the Dark Coven was destroyed, but Leon is still out there. He wants revenge, he wants his pack back and he wants Ahsoka's daughter, Katerina, as his luna. For Katerina life has been perfect. Her parents are amazing, she loves her
LeonIt’s been five years since that bitch ruined all our plans. Ryan is dead and my pack is gone. I have very few followers left though with Ryan’s loyal coven members following me our numbers are not so bad, but it’s not enough to take on Ahsoka. Now that she is in full control of all her powers, we are not match and we would be slaughtered if I made a move.It’s taken five years, but thanks to the coven I have finally healed from my injuries, though they couldn’t save my right eye. I would’ve died if it weren’t for them. I swear I will make Alpha Nicolai pay for what he did to me and my pack.“Sir, sorry to disturb you.”“What is it Sam,” I reply with a glare and down the last of the whiskey in my glass.“The tribrid and her children, Kai and Katerina, were spotted
Nico“Dismissed.”The elders file out of the room and I turn my attention back to Ahsoka, I can tell something is wrong. As soon as the elders are out of sight, Ahsoka clutches at the table and wraps an arm around her belly. That is the third one I noticed since being in this room.“Ahsoka? This is not Braxton hicks. Let’s get you to the doctor.” Suddenly we hear a gush of flowing water. We both look down at the floor and then back at each other.“Nope, definitely not Braxton hicks,” she laughs.“Stop standing there like a deer in headlights. Get the car Nico,” says mom.“Right, shit, car.” I rush out the door and hear Ashoka giggle behind me. I get her jeep and pull it out front. Dad helps her in.“Do not
AhsokaI have had this weird feeling that someone is watching me but we would know if someone had trespassed onto pack lands. Nico has been extra attentive, wanting to know how my pregnancy has been every second of the day. I can tell he is hiding something from me, but it’s been so peaceful I haven’t wanted to bring it up.“I’m hot, let’s go cool off,” says Nadia.A volleyball net has been set in the water and we join in on the game. Natasha teaches me how to play and soon I am laughing, actually enjoying myself. We get out of the water to dry off so we can watch the traditional race. Some members are disappointed I won’t be running. I laugh knowing many want to try and beat me. The gun goes off and they all take off, with Nico in the lead. No far behind him are
NicoI try to comfort my mate as best I can. She’s been through so much, she deserves to be happy from here on out. I mind link Dr. Lee to let him know she is awake. Ahsoka calms down by the time he arrives.“It’s good to see you up Luna. How are you feeling?”“I don’t remember much, just bits and pieces,” she replies.“Well from the amount of power you displayed and how long it took you to recover, that doesn’t surprise me. The memories will slowly return to you so try not to dwell on it too much. You still need rest.”“How is Katerina?”“She is doing just fine. The witch did well with breaking Ryan’s spell. Gibson found no trace of it and your water did not break. It seems you’ll go a full human term in pregnancy.”Dr. Lee does a quick check up on my mate, drawing more blood b
AhsokaMy body feels like jelly as I move like a sloth. Everything hurts and I feel very weak. I look at my surroundings and I realize I am in a bedroom but I don’t know where.. I sit up and place a hand to my head. Memory flash and I feel a headache coming on. What in the world happened.“Ahsoka you’re finally awake,” says my aunt Anika.“What happened?”“You don’t remember?” I shake my head no at her. I am trying to think how I got here and where here is, but the harder I try the more of a headache I feel.“Well what do you remember?” I close my eyes and think as bits and pieces begin flooding my head.“I remember bits and pieces. It was cold, I think. Yosif and I were kidnapped. I remember there was a witch who stopped my labor. Oh my goodness, Jackson! I killed Jackson!”
AhsokaI look at Natasha and she shrugs. “He hasn’t said a word since he’s been here until now.”“How could he possibly know she is his mother,” asks Jackson.“I have no idea but I am assuming it has something to do with the angel blood.”We watch as the boy relaxes. I walk over to them and he flinches, griping at her shirt. I back away and he relaxes again, drifting off to sleep. As soon as I am sure he is asleep I walk back over and take Ahsoka’s hand. I look at the boy and notice how much he truly looks like her. He has her thick, black hair and an olive complexion. His head is shaped like Ahsoka’s but I noticed he has Ryan’s brown eyes.“How is she,” asks Ahsoka’s aunt, Anika as she enters the room.
AhsokaI don’t know what Ryan did to us but I can feel Ayla is being restrained, unable to help me fight off Ryan’s spell. I can see my surroundings but I am unable to move my body at will. What has he done to me? “How good of you to join us Alpha Nicolai. My daughter has been waiting for you patiently but it appears you are too late.” I stare at Nico and the others, trying to speak but my body won’t let me. “She is not your daughter you piece of shit,” Nico growls. “Maybe so but we do share a child together.” “You mean the boy you have kept hidden and beaten at the canyon?” My heart shatters. He beat this child just as he had beaten me.“You will regret taking him from me.” I can feel tears streaming down my cheeks as I see fear in their eyes as I walk towards them. I try to stop myself as I can feel my powers stirring inside me. I know what he is making me do, he’s going to make me kill them.“Ahsoka, it’s me Nico.” My hands have fire dancing in their palms and I feel myself p
AhsokaI can’t help but smile at Nico as I see him enter the room. I feel calmer and happier than that I’ve seen him. Ryan does not appear to thrilled. “You are mine, stop smiling at him.” I was too distracted watching Nico that I don’t dodge the spell in time and I fly across the room into the elevator. All this fighting is making me nervous for my baby. I feel like I’ll end up in early labor or I will lose her. “Ashoka,” yells Nico. I push myself off the floor as Ryan grabs me by the hair, shoving me agains the elevator wall. I can see Nico and my family surrounded by Ryan’s coven. Tears run down my face as Ryan pushes the button for level five and then he begins using blood to draw something on my head. The last thing I see is the coven charging towards my family.Dimitri trained me well with hand to hand combat skills in case I ever found myself in this situation. I am glad he did because it’s paying off. I get several punches, breaking his nose.“You bitch!” He takes a swing
