Hi guys! I apologize for not updating but I plan on posting two chapters tomorrow! Thank you all for your support and I hope you enjoy :3
Tristian I feel like I'm drowning. It feels like water is surrounding me and no matter how much I struggle, I can't reach the surface. It's hot and cold all at the same time and my chest aches while I try and catch my breath. As I continue to struggle, I hear muffled voices calling my name. Where are they? All I can see is endless darkness. The pain I feel comes in waves and nothing I do relieves it. "Please..." I mutter out loud. "Please stop... it hurts... it hurts...!" I force myself not to cry out. The darkness is suffocating me. How can I escape it? Suddenly I feel hands on me. Are they trying to pull me up? Or down? Suddenly I see a light and the voice becomes clearer. "... an... tian... TRISTIAN!!!" I jump awake and pant heavily. Before I know what I'm doing, I feel someone struggling underneath me, and 'her' image comes into focus. In my confusion and daze, I growl and glare down at her. "You stupid bitch..." Why is she still haunting me? Why can't I get her out of my head
Samuel For a few months now, I've been searching for her, but still, I haven't found a trace. Victor growls in frustration but we have to keep moving. She has to be ok... she's out here somewhere, I just know it! "You better be alright, Daisy." I snarl and shake out my fur. Living as a rouge isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Sure, I don't have any packmates to count on and chat with, but I can take care of myself. The freedom is welcoming as well. I no longer have to do chores and be treated like a lesser wolf by the so-called higher-ranked wolves either. The one thing that bothers me though is the loneliness. I've never been alone like this before even as an orphan. I always had Freda who cared for me as if I was her grandson and the other Omegas who cared about me like a sibling. Being completely alone with only my wolf is such a big change. I let Victor take over so that he can hunt for us and wonder into my memories. Freda was also a constant in my life, but then so
Daisy I stare in stunned silence as I watch Samuel. He's changed so much since I last saw him too. Instead of being a skinny and awkward teenager with carrot hair and many freckles, he's now strong. He's grown into his features well and I can even call him handsome. "Daisy... there you are..." Samuel says with a laugh and smile. He looks so relieved too but all the tension melts away from him and he looks exhausted. "... Help him get cleaned up," I order. "He's an old friend of mine so treat him like a guest," I add. I look over to Peter and note that he's staring wide-eyed at Samuel. "Peter?" Then I see my mate's face. "Aiden...?" Aiden looks so pale like he's seen a ghost. Why is he staring at Samuel like this? I put a hand on his arm and he jumps. "Y-yeah... follow what Daisy says." He mutters and turns away. I hesitate as he walks away and look back to the others some of the Omegas leading Samuel away. Peter shakes his head and looks at me. "Go after Aiden, Luna. He'll... nee
Samuel As I stare down Daisy's pup, I know who the father is. He's like a tiny copy of him too which makes my blood go cold. "Daisy... what did that bastard do to you...? Is that why...?" Daisy looks away and I let out another low growl. It all makes sense now. She made an attempt on her life after he forced himself on her. I still remember seeing her pale face that day and seeing all that blood. It haunts me everywhere I go and it's why I wanted to find her. If I know she's alive and well then that's enough for me... or so I wanted to believe. "Hi there, Mister Rouge!" I snap my head down to look down at the pup. Those hazel eyes only belong to one man. That hair and those ears and tail too. "I'm Skylar! This is my friend, Ebony! Nice to meet you!" They sparkle so bright but all I can see is Tristian Parker. I clench my fists and growl low making the pups flinch back and look afraid. "Samuel!" This time I flinch when I hear Daisy's harsh tone. She rarely calls me by my full name
~Five Years Later~ Tristian Attending this party is very important. Strengthening alliances, sizing up the competition, and getting news from the Royal pack... everything is important to have. I remember coming to this event with my father many times. Every five years, packs from all over come and mingle together. Many wolves find their mates and it's a joyful time for everyone. We also gain information about what's happening with the other packs. Are rouges attacking? Are hunters on the move? Who wouldn't want to enjoy this time? Apparently, Dahlia Summers is one of these idiots. "I can't believe we have to go to this party with all the work we have already," Dahlia mutters and sighs softly. "Who cares about the other packs? We have alliances but so what?" She plays with her blonde hair and scowls. "Hey! Are you even listening to me?" I look out the window as I tune Dahlia out. I'm so tired of hearing her whine and complain. I've acted as the best Alpha and mate that I can be
Daisy Attending this joint party is something I never thought I'd be able to do. Aiden didn't even attend last year's party because of how anxious I got at the idea. How could I face Tristian when I wasn't strong enough? How could I stomach facing my former pack and family? Now though? I feel ready. Nothing can stop me now, especially with Aiden by my side. I never knew I could love someone as much as I love him and yet here I am. "Are you all ready, love?" Aiden asks leaning against the door frame as I finish up my makeup. After using our wolf forms to travel fast, we needed to get ready once we arrived. "D*mn... you're gorgeous." He looks me over. "I almost don't want anyone to see you." I giggle and turn to face him. "You're not so bad yourself." Aiden always looks good in anything he wears but tonight he had on a nice dress shirt and some dark leather pants. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you're wanting to show off." As I stop in front of him, Aiden chuckles and takes m
Daisy "Hello, Tristian," I say in a dismissive tone making his hazel eyes flash. They always did when I disrespected him in the past. "It's laughable to think you can say I'm your mate when you were the one who rejected me first." Tristian growls under his breath. "That was a mistake that I regret every day. Had I met your wolf beforehand I..." This makes me laugh. How pathetic can someone be? And in front of his chosen mate too! He has no morals at this point. "A mistake?!" Dahlia chimes in her voice rather shrill. Aiden winces and rubs his ear. "Had you met Naomi before?! What the hell are you talking about?! You chose me before her!" She stomps her foot and I'm reminded of how she used to do that as a child. Spoiled Dahlia always getting her way. She'd stomp her foot and point at me using that same shrill tone. In the end, she'd be beaming proudly while I'd be holding my cheek from a harsh slap. Everything had to be her way. Reality isn't like our childhood though so her being
Dahlia This night couldn't get any worse than it already is. Why is Daisy here? Why isn't that bitch dead already?! Not only that but she's the Luna of the mysterious Crimson Moon pack. The true wolves of the night? How? She's nothing more than a weak slut! It must all come from Naomi! But she already turned her back on me so I can't trust her either! What hurts the most is that Tristian is trying to suck up to her. He even stabbed me in the heart once again blaming me for losing our pup. I fight tears and can only watch numbly from the sidelines. I'll kick the man in the balls for all this later when we go home! "Baby, please." My heart sinks at his soft tone. When was the last time I heard Tristian sound like this? And why does it have to be towards Daisy instead of me? "I made a mistake and I'm sorry so please... I want you back..." Another stab to my heart. However, I watch in surprise as my useless twin throws Tristian over her shoulder and onto the ground. The loud thud se
Aiden As Daisy runs after Peter and Samuel, I frown deeply. What's going on with Peter anyway? He hasn't been himself in so long that it's worried me for ages but with everyone going on with the pack and Skylar's kidnapping, I never got a chance to ask before he left with Zoey for Royal Pack. I clench my fists and look down at my pups. "Can you two stay with Hazel for a little while? I'm going to check on your mother and Uncle Sammy." I pat the tops of their heads. Lily pouts and puffs out her cheeks. "But we finally get to see you again!" She complains. Davin bites his lip but nods in agreement. "You better not take too long!" She says firmly. I smile down at Lily. She reminds me so much of myself at that age. "Of course. I'll be back soon." I look at Hazel. "You don't mind, right?" I ask with a sheepish grin since I didn't run this passed her ahead of time. Hazel is looking out into the woods with narrowed eyes and a tense body. The rage and worry are evident on her face which
Samuel As we make the long journey to Royal Pack's territory, Rose talks our heads off asking so many questions. "Where are we going? Why are we going? Will I make new friends? Ooh, will I eat yummy foods?!" I chuckle softly at her innocence. She's a sweet little one and I couldn't love her more if I tried. Now close to the end, she tired herself out fast asleep in my arms Surprisingly Davin and Lily are quiet but I think it's more out of spite than anything. Daisy and Aiden must have broken a promise by suddenly running off and leaving the two behind. I hope their parents are prepared for their vengeance! Meanwhile, as I walk closer, the butterflies in my stomach continue to grow. The closer we get, the sooner I'll see Peter again which I don't think I'm ready for. Will lingering feelings surface the moment I see him? Will he see Rose and immediately know she's his biological pup? Hazel touches my arm and smiles up at me. I see her nervousness and fear in her eyes but for a diffe
Daisy Knowing Hazel is getting targeted now does make me panic more than it should but everyone will be ok. The children and their mothers will be arriving shortly as suggested by Xander for their protection. Among them are Samuel, Hazel, and little Rosalina... and of course, my little pups will be here soon as well. Too bad my excitement is overshadowed by anxiety. Aiden stands next to me and wraps his arm around my waist. "Everything will be ok, love." He kisses the top of my head. "We won't lose and we'll protect Hazel. I doubt Samuel will let anything happen to her." I hear a snort coming from behind us and look back to see Peter rolling his eyes and scowling. The arrogant bastard doesn't want to see Samuel happy with his little family. At least Joey knows better now and dropped his ass immediately. "Let's just hope that he will use his head and protect his pup more than anything." He mutters under his breath before meeting my eyes. Aiden frowns and looks at his Beta. "Dude...
Magnus I sit back on the couch and sigh feeling energized and alive. Feeding off energy without having to lift a finger is truly wonderful indeed. Until she's drained completely, as long as she believes she's with me, the mark I left on her will do its job well. I run a hand through my wavy locks of hair and grin gleefully. Everything is falling into place perfectly. I couldn't care less who wins this silly little war Xander announced. He's still that cute pup I watched grow up. He's no stronger than his ancestors were so I'm not worried about myself. What I desire most is the chaos it brings and the test Xander is taking. I wonder if Xander understands what I'm doing... no, I'm giving him too much credit. He believes I betrayed him and am needlessly causing trouble for my amusement. Can't say that it's a wrong assumption since I am enjoying this very much. It's been so long since I've felt so alive. Playing with these werewolves' lives is like a neat game of chess to me. Everyone
Tristian In my crazed state, all I know is that I'm running. Silas is taking the lead as we run through the woods onto territories we aren't welcome. I know where we're going too. Silas is rushing towards our true mate. I can't wait to see her again, to prove myself to her, and to gain her forgiveness. It wasn't my fault... I didn't know what I was doing. Dahlia even admitted to me what she did. "I put something in your drink so that we could have so much fun!" She said in that shrill tone. "I had no idea you'd jump into bed with that mutt because of it!" It was her doing. The lapse in my memory... it wasn't my fault! I keep running my mind racing. How can I tell her? Will it sound like an excuse? No... first I need to give her my information. What Dahlia and that bastard of hers is planning... and the horrors I witnessed. I should have known what Dahlia was like yet I was blind. Then my nose is filled with her scent. I slide to a halt and drink it in. Why did I ever think her s
Daisy After everyone falls asleep including my loving mate, I slip outside for some alone time. Tomorrow is the day... the day the war finally begins. I've never been a violent person but I want nothing more than to sink my teeth into those who made Skylar the way he is now. I can still see the scars all over his body, the smell of his blood mixed with infection, the fear in his hazel eyes... and the way he looks at me. My pup doesn't see me as his mother yet nor does he see Aiden as his father. For making him lose his memories and abusing him... I'll make them all pay. I clench my fists feeling angry with myself. If only I could have looked for him from the start... but I couldn't shift into my wolf form while I was pregnant. Aiden wouldn't let me look either and had anyone keep an eye on me so that I wouldn't fall into a deep depression. That ended up failing after I gave birth but that was no one's fault. Either way, I blame myself. If I could have searched from the start, then
Skylar Life here at Royal Pack isn't that bad. No one looks down on me, and best of all, no one hits me. What makes it even better is that I can be with my Ebony for real and enjoy her company. I'm still awkward and unsure about my so-called "real parents," but they aren't mean, either. Learning that I have two little siblings from them makes me even more nervous. Yet, when I heard the news, my heart pounded in my chest as if I were excited. Rather than feeling annoyed or scared like I thought I would, I was happy. I didn't show it, but I truly was. "You'll get your memories back in time," Ebony reassured me days ago after hearing the news and seeing my confusion. "I'll help remind you of good times when we were little! You loved your parents a lot and even begged for a baby sibling to protect." I know Ebony would never lie to me. She's the only one I can completely trust without question. It just feels so surreal to me... I do hope I remember something soon. It will give me even
Magnus "So you were around when King Xander was just a little pup?" Dahlia asks as I tell my story about how Xander and I know each other. "That's crazy! I didn't realize you were so old... but that does make you even more mysterious and interesting to me." I chuckle softly and shrug. "You prefer older men it seems, little flower. Besides, with everything we've done, it isn't too bad right?" Dahlia is cuddled into me while Gracie sleeps in her arms. The small girl was shocked to learn I was her father all along but she didn't seem too upset. Now that the allure effect on Tristian is gone, Gracie will need someone to give her affection. "So weird... so you made a pact with Royal Pack for so long right? Why did you suddenly break it?" Dahlia asks curiously. I knew she would ask about that. "Was there any special reason?" I smile at her as I've prepared this so far in advance. "I was slowly wasting away and losing my powers. If something didn't change soon, I would have been no us
~Xander: Age 16~ After my Alpha lessons, I walk out into the woods and spot a head of blood-red hair in the distance. I tilt my head and follow close behind him curiously. Magnus has been distant lately that usual fire in his eyes dimming as the years go on. He always claims to be alright but I highly doubt that's the case. As I try and silently follow him unseen, Magnus stops suddenly and chuckles. "You still need to work on your tracking skills." My face flushes from embarrassment. "That's fine though. I could use someone to talk to." He turns and looks towards my direction. The abilities of a demon warlock never cease to amaze me. I clear my throat and step out of the thick trees. "I figured that after seeing you walk off alone." He sticks close to Father's side, even more so after Mother passed away six years ago from a sudden illness. "I'm all ears, Mags." Magnus chuckles. "Oh you and that nickname..." he shakes his head and motions for me to follow. "I have a lot on my mind
