23 - Kennedy Other than my senses being fried from being hyper aware of his presence all night I am having a great time. I have had the chance to talk to a bunch of the warriors that were at training with us today. And like all warriors we discussed totally practical things like the best fighting styles, best meals and what times of the day we thought were best for training and of course, my personal favorite, the best fight scenes in the best fight movies. Many of them are around my age and still in high school too so we talk about the strains of doing all of that and what they are planning to do after school is over. It’s cool to hear that they have options, even as warriors, with so many packs to take care of. These people are amazing and have me laughing the whole night and for the first time in a long time my guys aren’t hovering. They seem to be enjoying themselves too, instead of playing my bodyguards. That doesn’t mean that they went too far from me, but it’s a start. And Ray
24 - Kennedy “Would you mind terribly taking a picture?” “Huh?” I know, super intelligent, but I blame the hot man in front of me for my brain being melted. “I need a picture from the party tonight and Alpha Ryker is a little too rough around the edges. You would help soften his image up a little and you both match perfectly. Please? It will only take a moment.” “What about me? I would look better as Alpha Ryker’s arm candy.” The brunette whines, fluffing her hair. “That is the point Amy. I need Alpha Ryker to be the arm candy. Miss Kennedy is a warrior and can match his dominance. But, thank you. This way Alpha Ryker, Miss Kennedy.” I smile at the idea that the big ass Alpha is any sort of decoration, but I like the tactic Robin took. There was no obvious insult, unless you paid close attention to the words. Something I don’t think Amy is capable of. She turns to walk away and Ryker gestures for me to just follow, he’s right behind me and Amy is audibly pouting behind us looking
25 - RykerI walk into my room and slam the door a little too hard then lean against it. How is it possible for one person to affect me this much? I am suffocating in my suit now. I rip my jacket off and toss it onto the desk chair. Then turn on the lamp on my bedside table, giving me just a hint of light. That was the single hottest interaction with a woman I have ever had and I didn’t even touch her. She knew what buttons to push and exactly what to say to get me even more riled up. I’m pacing my floor as the tension is building at the thought of her, not subsiding.Top that with walking into the ballroom tonight. I found her immediately and holy f*cking sh*t! My heart stopped as soon as I found her. Seeing her from a distance at the training grounds did not do her justice. Her hair pulled high making her neck look long, giving me the perfect view of where my mark will go. The cut of her dress showing off where her shoulder meets her neck. Her red lipped smile sent a signal st
26 - KennedyThe absolute hottest thing happened and I can’t tell anyone about it. I can’t talk to any of the guys, they will lose their minds. They don’t ever want to hear about me having s*x, even though it is a very large portion of their own conversational skills. And I can’t tell Rayna, because it was with her brother. She won’t want to hear about it any more than I want to hear about Jeremiah. Bleh.I was so drenched and my cl*t was so swollen that I had to rub another one out in the shower and it was almost as hot as when I was standing next to his balcony listening to his pants and grunts and the slight slap of his fist when he slammed down to his pelvis. And the growl that reverberated across the small space of the balcony between us sent shock waves through me, I came so hard and even the friction from walking back into my room had me ready to go again.Then I was lying in bed tossing and turning, and once again throbbing in between my legs. I couldn’t sleep and did some
27 - RykerI have not slept that great in a long time. Maybe I have to have that many org*sms every night. That would be heaven and exhausting all at the same time, but I guess that’s the point. I get up and shower, again. All I can picture is her in her short little dress last night. My wolf is mad we didn’t get to see her when she came for us. I think it would have made everything worse. Yeah this girl is trouble.I throw on some shorts and head out to do my usual run around the pack. I head down the back stairs towards the kitchen. I’m not in the mood for twenty questions or a game of ‘avoid-the-wh*re’ and I know at least one of them is hanging out waiting for me to come down.It’s strange how in less than 24 hours the thought of one of them pulling me into the nearest unoccupied room and giving me a blow job before my run is unappealing, when yesterday, if I was home, I would have let that very thing happen.Now I have Jean and my wolf in my head, on top of just something i
28 - KennedyAt one point the ball is kicked out of bounds towards us and she jumps up and stops it easily. This kid has natural skills that are being wasted sitting around waiting for her turn.A boy just a few years younger than me runs over. “Hey, Em, thanks for the stop. Who’s your new friend?” I stand as the boy eyes me up and down. He doesn’t wait for a response. “I’m Todd, Emily’s brother. And you are?” He lets the question hang while giving me a smile that must work on girls his age.I laugh a little under my breath and extend my hand. “Kennedy, one of Alpha Jeremiah’s warriors. Nice to meet you.”“Oh, man. That’s awesome. We’re in training too.” He points to himself, then randomly behind him.“When do you guys usually train?”“This afternoon. The Alpha likes to train with his warriors on Saturdays so no one is allowed in the training grounds until he’s done.”“So you guys usually come out here and play while you wait?”“Yeah, most of the time.”“How often do you work
29 - RykerAs much as it bugs me that my Beta, Gamma and Delta are all shacked up with girls and shirking their responsibilities, I am enjoying the peace of running by myself through my pack. The damp earth in my paws feels amazing and the stretch and pull of my muscles this early releases any tension I was holding.Running like this allows me to clear my head and think. I have to get Claude under control and I’m afraid the only way is for him to return to the Moon Goddess. But if he has his claws in too many people in his area, that might start an uprising and get innocent people hurt or killed. I hope Robin will be able to help me flush out the key players so we can either turn them to our side or handle them as a group and make a very messy example of what it looks like to go after me and my pack.I also have to figure out this mate thing. I really need to talk to Jeremiah and get some background on her. She didn’t appear to have any kind of pack mark or brand. So I don’t know
30 - KennedyI got a lot of looks from the group of warriors sidling up to the training grounds from their cars and even Alpha Ryker looked puzzled by my entourage. He was more subtle about it though, standing behind his truck drinking water. I avoided eye contact with him though, not sure how I feel about what happened last night. I did notice the sheen of sweat on him, and tried not to let my thoughts wander while I am standing in the middle of all of these kids.“Can you come to our training?” Emily asks, bringing my attention back to her. “I want to show you how good I am.” She shadow boxes for me.I laugh. “I don’t know what my plans are for the rest of the day, but if I can, I totally will come watch you.” She wraps her tiny arms around my waist and gives me a hug, which I return. Then I fist bump the guys and say quick goodbyes as they head back in the direction that we came from.“And where have you been all morning? We all tried to reach you.” Jeremiah wraps me in a he
3 - Elara“It’s been weeks since we have had any issues. Why are they coming now?” I growl at my dad, who gives me that look like I am dangerously close to crossing a line. I don’t really care though. I’m three years from my full transition, and my instincts don’t want me to take a backseat to pack endeavors. Having some foreign newbie Alpha coming in like a white knight to save me is the opposite of what I need right now.“He is coming as a part of his training as well as yours, Elara. You need to learn to work with neighboring alphas. And, just because we haven’t had any more issues directly doesn’t mean the fighting has stopped. You know that as well as I do. I believe Austin was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but until we get to the bottom of the fighting, we cannot rest. You know this. Don’t be difficult, my little warrior.” He pats my shoulder patronizingly with a wink. He knows I hate that sh*t.“Ugh. Fine. You’re right, I know you’re right.” I rub my forehead. He’s neve
2-BenIt’s been months since we have heard from Kennedy. She’s only called a handful of times since she’s been gone, but it’s been too long. I can feel something is wrong. The gaping hole in my chest has felt heavy for weeks now, but with the winter weather settling in, the feeling is becoming suffocating. Something is so off that I can feel it viscerally.WHAM!“F*ck, man! Are you good?” I hear Jason’s question tinted with amusement. “You do know you’re supposed to defend yourself, right?”“F*ck off.” I jump to my feet and reset, ready to beat his ass this time.“Let. Her. Go!” He grunts, accenting each word with a strike I have to dodge. “You can’t have her. She isn’t yours anymore.” That had me seeing red. I felt the surge of hatred and adrenaline mix in my veins and I go on the offensive. Punch after punch. Kick after kick, sending out all the feelings of dread at Kennedy’s loss. “That’a boy! There’s our Beta. I knew you were still in there somewhere.” I know what he’s saying is t
1 - BenShe’s gone. Just like that Kennedy was snatched up by some Alpha assh*le who doesn’t even care about her. He admitted to not wanting a mate and I know Kennedy wanted out of the pack. She wanted to leave and live her own life, coming back only when she chose it, not before. We all expected her to come back, that was the plan. But I had to watch her get into someone else’s SUV and drive away.I can feel Jeremiah’s stare on the side of my face, but I can’t deal with him right now. I don’t want anyone to try and console me. I know she isn’t my mate, but that didn’t stop me from hoping she could be one day. She’s the only girl in our pack that has ever interested me. We never dated because of Jer’s hands off rule. Of course, Tommy, Jason and I side-stepped the rule a bit. If Jer has any idea, he’s never said a thing.I didn’t notice I walked away until I came to the doors of the gym. We all spent a ton of time here together. Especially after she was taken. The four of us when crazy
I am jumping back into Silver Crescent Pack to explore what is happening in Ben's world after Kennedy leaves with Ryker. This story will be more drawn out as I work through this and two other works. You can expect updates on the weekends. If I can throw in a bonus chapter in the middle of the week, you know I will!Here's their synopsis:Ben thought he’d already lost his chance. Watching Kennedy walk away—into another pack, into another male’s arms, by force—nearly broke him. She didn’t choose him. She chose freedom. And though it gutted him to admit it, Ben knew why. She never wanted to be tied down. Not to him. Not to anyone. She was hurt that everyone she trusted let her go. No one tried to stop Ryker from taking her. She was his mate, his property to take. Ben's heart was torn between a woman he had loved from a distance for as long as he could remember, and his responsibility to his Alpha and his pack.So, he buried the ache under duty.Now, as Beta of the Silver Cresceant Pack,
41 - FinnI’m trying to figure out why both the Luna and Alpha are being so cryptic about this. I mean, at least Kennedy told me she wants to give us a house, which is insane, but still something to work with. If I wasn’t being weighed down I would be tossing and turning trying to figure out what they are up to. But as it is, I am warm and comfortable and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I am right where I am meant to be.I doze listening to the soft snores of both girls in my arms.“FIIIIINNNNN!!!!” I launch off the couch and over the back ready for a fight after Trinity’s yell. Eyes wide scanning for what made her call for me like that only to be met with laughter. “It worked, Bennet!” She squeals happily.“Someone is wound awfully tight after sleeping so long.” I continue to scan, ignoring him, blinking to get the dryness out of my eyes, asshole.I see Bennet and Trinity sitting at the island next to Gabriel and Peyton. “Where’s Landon? And what were you screaming
40 - FinnSeveral happy hours later we head back into check on the kids and attempt to find a place to sleep. Unfortunately for Bennet, the couch in the living room is it. He can’t be mad at us though, this packhouse was not designed like Ryker’s in Dark Moon, a mansion that holds a hundred people. I actually really enjoy it here. Every space is used, nothing wasted or unnecessary. I fall asleep with Greta tucked in between me and the back of the couch thinking about all of her concerns with the kids. Hell, they’re my concerns too. The bonds we have with all the kids, but Trinity specifically, are unlike anything I have experienced before. Even as a pup when Nan took me in, I never felt the pull to her like I feel to that little girl. I drift off thinking about what I want next in this life, now that I have finally achieved the only thing I ever wanted…a home.My dreams are lucid. Greta and I walking hand in hand, Trinity running around our legs in a field. They are both laughing and
39 - FinnToo excited to do anything else Greta and I cuddle on the couch talking into the early hours of the morning. Ryker said he has ideas of how to make this happen quickly for us, but he needed to catch some zzz’s before Rosie wakes up from her latest nap. He’s doing his best to support his mate through these early days, which I commend and envy him a little.Greta sighs deeply, but doesn’t say anything. I feel a wash of sadness come over her through the bond, but she is curled up against my side with her head tucked under my chin so I can’t see her expression.“Hey,” I whisper, squeezing her hip gently, “Talk to me.”Another sigh and then a sniffle and I can’t take the suspense anymore. I pull her up into my lap so she’s forced to look at me even though she keeps her eyes closed like it’s going to stop me from seeing how red they are.“Greta, babe, you have to talk to me.” I plead. “What’s going on in that stubborn head?”She’s trying to calm her breathing, but it's ragged and
Hi all. I apologize for being absent the last week. I was a much needed break from all things electronic and somewhat out of my control. I am back, diving into the conclusion to The Warrior's mate and concepts for new stories to follow once I am done here.I appreciate all of the readers who have been following me since the beginning and any new readers just joining in.
38 - FinnThe living room is good and full of people when we finally make it inside. I am not a fan of crowds, but there is so much excitement around the birth of Kennedy and Ryker’s baby, I can’t help but smile along with everyone else. Trinity wiggles out of my arms, but grabs my hand in her tiny little fingers. She is clearly in charge here.I look over my shoulder at Greta, but all I get is a smile and a shoulder shrug as she walks off towards the kitchen and I am dragged closer to the crowded couch where I can see the top of Kennedy’s head through the mass of wellwishers surrounding her.“Come on Finn, look at, look at!” Trinity moves like our bodies are the same size and I can wade through the legs of adults like she does. “Come on Finn!” She says, annoyed at the slow pace. A few people move at her fireceness, smiling at the demands of a determined child.When I finally get through, the sight stops me in my tracks. Kennedy is glowing holding a tiny pink blanket. All I can make
