67 -KennedyHold the phone. “How is that possible?” I sit up to my knees, rubbing my stomach again. He has to be lying. There’s no way what I felt was fake or in my head.He growls again. “Kennedy…”“What? You can’t be an asshole for weeks and not expect me to be curious when you do decide to talk to me.”He closes his eyes and takes a breath. “Can we just go back to sleep and talk about this tomorrow?”“Not a chance. How is it possible you’re a virgin? I know what I felt and I know what happened to me.”“I have no problem answering questions. Although some of my answers might not be what you want to hear. But, please…”“Then what the hell is wrong with you?” I am almost yelling again. I just don’t understand. “Why won’t you look at me?” I move closer to him. I want to reach out and touch his cheek, no matter how mad he’s made me. The urge to have contact is overwhelming. But I sit here waiting.“Do you have any idea what I have wanted to do to you since that night out on the bal
68 - RykerWhat the f*ck just happened? I came in my shorts without any contact to my d*ck at all. Kennedy’s so incredibly sexy and she knows her way around her body. She doesn’t need me at all, clearly. But she let me watch her and it was phenomenal. She also said my name. She called my name when she came, not the title she calls my wolf and nothing sarcastic. My name, like she needs me as much as I need her. But she also walked away. She didn’t stumble or stagger away. I broke her shower from the force of my org*sm, did I not affect her the same, do I mean so little to her?“You did abandon her and isolate her like Rapunzel. You’re lucky she let us get this close. Don’t do anything to f*ck this up more.”“I’m aware, thanks. What do I do now?”“You are going to get us out of these cummed up shorts and go lay next to her. Dumbass.”“What if she kicks me out?”“So what? You have to try and right now action is your best best. Words are not working so well for you.”“You really a
69 - Kennedy“Are you sitting with us today Luna?” Danny doesn’t let me linger too long with Bennet.“I guess so.” I shrug. I know Ryker said he wanted me with him at meals last night, but I wasn’t sure if that was an invitation or a demand or just to get me to talk to him.“Perfect!” Danny wraps his arm around me and I giggle as we start walking. Naturally, Ryker growls at him and he ignores it.I’m sure they’re having a conversation over the mindlink, but for the first time it doesn’t bother me. I know Danny is giving him a hard time about me and I’m okay with it. What I’m really interested to see is how Ryker acts with me in front of his pack members. He was unsure and timid last night, but that is not how this Alpha is with his pack members. So far he’s made it clear I’m not important and for the most part I am ignored and left alone. There are only a few females who actively give me dirty looks, but that is as far as they have gone.I stiffen as we enter the breakfast room and
70 - KennedyIt’s official. I’m in the twilight zone. Yesterday I was hiding out in the packhouse avoiding everyone because I wasn’t sure who was allowed to talk to me and who would be punished if I even looked in their direction and bored out of my mind to wanting to get a portable electric fence to set a perimeter around myself for personal space.Danny and Bennet are so far up my ass, I’m sure we will fuse as one soon. I have only gone from the library to the bathroom. We have even had lunch here. Bennet was nice enough to start a small fire in the fireplace for me. I’m not freezing, but the little bit of warmths is comforting and the sound is a great background noise for us.I look over my shoulder to the black leather couch in the library. “Don’t you have an actual job to do?” I ask Danny who is flipping through a magazine, humming through his nose. He sounds like a kazoo. “I figured as the ‘lead warrior’ you should be leading something.”“Not when I need to get to know my Luna
71 - RykerI meet up with Josh who comes up from the South side of the reported attack. Danny took the East flank and I should see him soon across from me. We have corralled the five rogues who attacked a group of our teens running practice patrols. There is another layer of wolves waiting in the tree line behind us. I want at least one to question, but I won’t be sorry if they all die here right now.The fact that they got close enough to hit that line has my wolf and I raging. Our patrols are flawless and layered in a way that shouldn’t be predictable unless you know how we organize them. It wouldn’t be the first time a wolf from an acquired pack tries to bring us down from the inside, but now that an innocent pup has been injured, badly, these motherf*ckers are going down painfully.I haven’t seen the pup yet, but from what I heard he’s in bad shape. At least three of them were attacking him when his friends stepped in and called us. If the surrounding snow is anything to go by
72 - RykerWe move straight to my room, there is no question of her being alone now, or ever really. Not after last night and waking up with her this morning. We can’t be apart from her. My wolf is whimpering at her fragile state and I struggle to ignore him. I have to help her and he is powerless to do anything.“Remove her clothes Alpha.” Our lead healer calls out as she walks into the room. “You need to get her warm. Under the covers, now.”I don’t even hesitate. Bennet moves to help but my wolf lets out a snarl. He’s still convinced there is something romantic going on between them. He looks hurt, but I can’t focus on that right now.“Greta, help please.” She jumps in without a word. All of our focus has to be on keeping her alive right now. “What else can I do?” I look at the healer.“It would be helpful and makes things go faster if she was marked.”“NO! We still don’t know if it will hurt her. I don’t want to make things worse.” I slide into my bed, while the healer an
73 - KennedyMy head is pounding. Did I drink last night? No, I don’t think I’ve had anything since I moved. My eyes are so heavy, I want to open them, but they are glued shut. I am so comfortable though, I may not move for a little while longer. The darkness is calling my name. Just a few more minutes. I take a deep breath and sink into the soft blanket wrapped around me.The next time I’m conscious I feel tingles everywhere. “Hey, little lamb. Can you hear me?”“Mmhmm?” I know that low rumbling voice, and shouldn’t like it as much as I do. But, I don’t remember why I think that. I take another deep breath. His rosemary and mint scent surrounds me. He shouldn’t be here with me. Another breath. Maybe I’m still dreaming. He wants someone like Amy, not me. Breathe in, breathe out. It’s so nice.“Kennedy?”“What?” I whisper out. My voice sounds like gravel.He chuckles low, so close to my ear I get goosebumps as a shiver wracks my body. “Open those eyes for me, beautiful.”I whine.
74 - KennedyI don’t really understand the change, but I’m also not going to complain. Ever since they found me in the forest almost frozen to death, Ryker and Bennet have come to some kind of understanding. I’m still not alone…ever. That would be too much to ask. But I have started training with Greta again. It’s too f*cking cold outside for my thin skin, but I do get to go to the gym at the training center. I hadn’t realized I had lost so much weight and muscle until she kicked my ass and then made fun of me for it. I can feel myself getting stronger everyday though and that is helping with my mood.I have also gotten completely caught up with classes and I’m ready to start a light load of business courses so I can follow in my parent’s and Aunt Beth’s footsteps. Being so far away from my mom’s studio, and being in the center of the largest wolf pack I know of, I won’t be training any humans any time soon. But, I know that The main source of income is construction and buildin
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
37 - FinnGreta takes me by Ryker’s packhouse to shower and change. The perks of having clothes and supplies at my fingertips still surprises me sometimes. Cindy, this tiny little kitchen omega, packs us meals to go and we start our drive.“Uh…so how is this going to work?” I ask tentatively. We obviously have the physical part of being mated under control. Greta has even let me hold her hand most of the drive.“What do you mean?” She asks, but it’s not convincing. I know she’s been thinkin logistics too.“Well we are mated now and there is no way I’m going to sleep separate from you, but my apartment won’t fit you, me and up to four kids. Will your place fit all of us, or do we need to talk to Ryker about something else?” Her eyes go wide. Maybe she wasn’t thinking about the same logistics I was.“What makes you think that we are going to have up to four kids with us?” Her husky voice squeaks and it’s adorable. I can’t help but smile at how nervous she is. Kids were never on her
36 - GretaI am so full of mixed emotions. On the one hand I want to beat Janelle’s ass. I never really liked her anyway. Her and Amy were always too good to do any actual work or put effort into anything but chasing the leadership. Now I know why, but it doesn’t make them any less irritating. She will suffer for all of their crimes even if she isn’t the brains behind this operation. Everyone in this pack will put the most responsibility on her. It’s one hundred percent personal.I’m pulled out of my thoughts by a kiss to the neck. I suck in a breath at the sensation. “They have this handled. Grant said to get out of here before he throws up.” Finn whispers against the shell of my ear causing a wave of goosebumps to trail over my whole body. I just now notice we aren’t alone with Janelle and her other teammates. Finn really is distracting, I’m going to have to watch out for that.Finn lifts me by my thighs and I naturally wrap them around his waist when he starts walking. It seems s
35 - FinnI can’t even begin to describe how good Greta feels in my arms. But I can’t think about that right now, we have a fight to finish. So I thread my fingers through her hair and kiss her gently one more time before pushing her off my lap and standing. She takes the hint and then takes my hand and we both run into the forest or we can still hear growls and snapping of wolves fighting.“They knew we were coming.“ Greta says, a little bit more worry than I’m used to in her voice. “I know, I think your Warriors got played.“ I say exsasperated. Ryker’s team is so good though, I don’t know how it is possible. “Could they be using any of your old hideouts or old methods to get into the pack?” She asks. “I don’t think so, because Amy‘s dad was very secretive about how we moved from place to place. There was a lot of magic involved, so I don’t think anyone actually knew how and where we were traveling until we finally got to where he wanted us to stop.“ “He really pushed for the magi
34 - FinnWe are a tangle of fur and fangs. The stench of this rogue is enough to make me want to gag, but I continue to bite at him. He’s fast but sloppy. His claws don’t hit their mark because he’s fighting angry, not controlled. His wolf rears back and mine lunges to the side and whips around to grab his flank. He rips at the muscle and we are rewarded with a howl as he hits the ground and tries to limp away. There’s no way my wolf is standing for that. He jumps on his back and bites at his throat again and again, until he finally collapses.When my wolf feels the pulse in his neck completely stop he drops him to the ground and we go in search of our mate. I hear the sounds of fighting all around me. This group wasn’t dumb, but I’m not sure what their plan is. They haven’t gotten past our defenses to get further into Dark Moon. I haven’t heard of any demands of threats or what they want. I keep following the sounds and my pull to Greta. Another two grey wolves dodge out towards m
