It had been an intense year for the Alphas as they settled into their new roles. Merging the two packs had taken some serious work, it had taken a while for the natural rivalry between the two to die down and accept each other as one. Fortunately, the Blood Moon members immediately accepted Brielle as one of their own. Whether that was due to their own kindness or fear of being castrated by the triplets was unclear, but Brielle was grateful nevertheless. David had finally come to terms with his little girl being mated, not that he had been given much choice. Although, there had been a moment where Brielle feared David would be pushed over the edge when it came out Harlie was mated to the Blood Moon beta, Lucas. But just like the triplets, Lucas had managed to charm his way into David’s good graces, after Sophia threatened to have him sleeping on the couch if he didn’t give up his hostile persona. Harlie and Lucas were the perfect match, both incredibly loyal to one another and to
Brielle swung her fist through the air until it connected with the man’s crooked nose. He stumbled backwards, with widened eyes as he observed the brunette in shock. As blood began trickling down his nostrils, his hands flew to cover the wound. He winced as he cast his hazel eyes on the blood now covering his palm. “You impetuous girl!” The man yelled. “Do you have any idea what you have just done?” He scolded. Brielle’s head rocked back as she belted out a menacing laugh. Her long, wavy brunette locks swayed as she shook her head in disbelief. “What I’ve done?” She chuckled as she raised her eyebrows at the middle-aged man. “You come to my home and insist that I let you take over my pack, whilst I run around playing pretty little Luna?” Brielle soared with laughter as she recalled the conversation she had initially endured with Alpha Bex. Brielle took a step closer to the auburn haired man. “I am the Alpha of the Shadow Pack and you’ll do well to remem
David scowled as he listened to his mate. He hated the previous Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack with a passion. A long term rivalry had occurred when the Alpha had attempted to take David’s sister as his chosen mate. David didn’t believe in chosen mates, and contrary to what he wanted for his daughters, believed taking a chosen mate was an insult to the moon goddess and the plans she had made for each of her children. However, he was willing the bend the rules of his own beliefs when it came to his daughters. David hadn’t seen the Alpha of Blood Moon for years, although he had heard the title of the pack’s Alpha had been passed down to his triplet sons just a few years ago. He hadn’t met the triplets, but he imagined if they were anything like their father then he would despise them too. David scoffed as he nonchalantly waved his had in the air, dismissing what he had been told. “Absolutely not, they aren’t welcome here.” He objected as he headed into the pack house. Followin
Brielle gritted her teeth as she locked eyes with Scarlett. This had been the last way she intended to spend her Friday afternoon, yet here she was. She couldn’t shake the feeling that this wouldn’t go well, she knew the triplets wouldn’t be here to suggest another marriage proposal like the other losers. If they wanted the pack, they would try and take it from her by force instead. Brielle knew being the first female Alpha in a predominantly male world would prove to be difficult, but she hadn’t anticipated how quickly the difficulty would arise. Brielle frowned as she felt Ocean rapidly become unsettled, yet unwilling to share why. Unfortunately, she didn’t have time to play twenty questions with her suddenly mute wolf, so Brielle hoped going and dealing with the triplets would resolve that issue instead. Scarlet and Harlie joined Brielle’s side, holding out their hands for Brielle to take. “Ready?” Harlie questioned. Brielle grinned as she took their hands and gently s
The brothers eyes flickered amongst each other. Each triplet wore a different expression that displayed their feelings on the matter quite clearly. Ryker’s smile burned brighter than the sun, with excitement and hope gleaming in his crystal blue eyes. He felt as though he had been waiting an eternity to find their mate, even though it was actually only a matter of months ago he decided to stop sleeping around with random she-wolves. Reid appeared skeptical, with his lips slightly pouted and his eyebrows furrowed. His eyes cautiously observed the pack house before him, wondering if it was really true that their mate could be found inside. Reid had always found himself on the fence when it came to meeting their mate. He wasn’t infatuated by the idea, like his brother, but he wasn’t exactly against meeting her either. He always figured they’d meet her when the time was right, but the time was absolutely not right at this moment. He had a date with Penelope at 7pm, how would he g
The triplets stood bickering in the said Alpha’s office, contemplating their plan of action for the so called mate nearby. River groaned as he threw his head back in frustration, he felt like he was fighting a losing battle. “Ryker, for fuck sake. We’re here for one reason and one reason only, to take control over this pack.” He argued, before issuing Ryker a warning look. Ryker rolled his eyes before dismissively flicking his hand in front of River. “Well our mate is in the pack, whether you like it or not. When we take over, she’ll still be here.” He objected. River sighed as he began to massage his temples. “We’ll deal with that later.” River couldn’t understand his brothers infatuation with meeting their mate, he’d been clear for as long as he could remember that he wouldn’t accept whoever it was. “Aren’t you even a little curious to see who it is?” Reid shrugged, as his hands fiddled in the glass jar of mints on the Alpha’s desk. “Why?” River asked flatly. “It doesn
River scoffed at the girl in disbelief. He wasn’t going to fight her, it was against his morals to fight a woman unless he was paired with one during training. Much less was he going to fight his mate as a way of taking her pack. Ryker was right, it didn’t have to be like this. Granted, he didn’t plan to accept her as his mate either but he certainly wasn’t going to get what he wanted this way. “You can’t be serious.” River laughed at the petite woman. She was barely tall enough to reach his shoulder, let alone take both him and his brothers on. Although, he didn’t disagree with Reid either. He was certain he would have plenty of fun throwing her around the bedroom. “Scared?” Brielle taunted, as she confidently placed her hands on her exposed waist. She was dying for the opportunity to show this idiot how capable she truly was. River chuckled again as he rolled his eyes. His deep, baritone laugh set Brielle’s nerves alight. There was something about the sound that she found
“What the hell is the Battle of the Alpha’s?” Scarlett blurted out, as she finally found her voice in the overcrowded room. Harlie frowned as she stepped forward, narrowing her eyes at the smug challenger. “You can’t be serious.” She questioned. “That hasn’t been done in over a century, you really think King Nathanial will waste his time over you spoilt men spitting your dummy out because my sister won’t just hand over her pack?” She glared at the triplet in disbelief. River shrugged, before turning his back to his mate’s sister. He lifted his brow as his eyes locked with Brielle’s. “I guess we’ll find out, if your sister accepts the challenge.” Brielle thought for a moment as she glared back at Alpha. She was never one to back down from a challenge but where the price of her pack was concerned, she couldn’t afford to make the wrong decision. However, just like River, Brielle was too strong willed for her own good. Brielle knew if she didn’t accept the challenge, it wouldn’t
