My chores were finished quickly and I hopped in the shower in the morning to freshen up. I put my hair up in a messy bun with some of my curls flowing down and still wore tights pink ones this time with a black tank top. I did my best to put some light makeup on that I’d smuggled under my bed a while ago for such an occasion. I threw on my hoodie and went out in the hallway. I’d already sent a message to the high priestess with her breakfast tray letting her know that I would be leaving about 11:00 after completing chores and morning prayers. I also told her I’d see her tonight for dinner as planned and thanked her for her kindness. I hated informing her of anything because besides dinner or the occasional accidental bump she didn’t have much to say to me. I learned more from the other priestess around me when they would share their own experiences from life outside of this house. As I made my way through the hallway I bumped into Laura again. “Good morning priestess Laura” I bowed to
“I am sorry Kel.” “Rogan for the last time you didn’t do anything wrong, I promise.” Rogan apologized for all through lunch which was getting to be a bit much. He brought a pretty good spread of fruit, chicken salad sandwiches he said that the house cook helped him make, pasta salad also courtesy of the house cook, chips, water, and soda just in case. We ate quietly for the most part with some small talk and then the ever-happening apology. “I just never meant to go that far. I mean I want to but I should have some self-control. You know my mom told me something, well never mind.” “What did she tell you?” I was really curious. “I don't want to make you run away from me Kel.” He put his head down and this time I reached out for his touch. I leaned over and put my hand on his face. “I’m not running, you have to let it go, okay?” He nodded back at me and I looked into his getting memorized all over again. I almost went in for my first initiated kiss but then curi
We laid there holding each other for a while and it felt right even though part of me told me I should be ashamed for doing such things with someone that wasn’t known to be mate. Still, it wasn’t Rogan’s fault by any means because I am the one who said as long as we don’t have sex. I couldn’t believe those words came out of me but here I was letting a guy hold me and rub me after sharing a very intimate experience. Rogan kept kissing me lightly here and there as he rubbed my body down. It wasn’t appropriate by any means and was truly done in a very loving manner. “You are quiet what is going on in that beautiful head of yours?” He kissed my forehead gently and I couldn’t help but blush. Nobody had ever even hinted at me being beautiful so it felt embarrassing and almost unreal when he said it. He leaned in closer making eye contact with me and I almost got lost in the silver specs in his dark eyes. “Hey Kel, I mean it tell me what you are thinking? I want to know”. “Your eyes
The day ended with a lot more kissing and talking. I felt connected to Rogan unlike I’d ever felt connected with anyone else before. Of course, there was only Reese who I felt close enough to share any of my thoughts. We repeated much of the same events on Sunday but before I could ask him how school or anything else would work we were interrupted by some wolves that started getting close to our spot and we had to break without talking about it. I was amazed that Melina had bought my school project story but seemed uncertain with my birthday preparations if I would be allowed any afterschool time this week. For some reason with the knowledge of knowing that I would be 18 on Friday be blessed by the moon goddess and know then if Rogan was my true mate. I didn’t seem to mind skipping the afterschool jaunts if needed. I knew Monday I couldn’t anyways because I was supposed to have my dress fitting. Priestess Laura had been requested by Melina to hand make a dress for me as I was pres
I felt every eye on me from the moment Rogan walked up and kissed me. I felt like small whispers were floating through the hallways as we walked. Reese and Alec both smiled as they walked along with us and barely could remember that my first class was English. I barely even remembered that Rogan, Alec, and Reese were in the same class as me. We walked into the class and my face had to be the color of a tomato. It felt like the whole class stopped and turned to stare as we walked in. Rogan must have noticed because he leaned into my ear, “Kel relax, and just lead the way.” I looked over to the table that Reese and I normally sat at which was in the far-left corner I started to walk forward with Rogan following behind still holding my hand giving it a gentle squeeze. Looking around I could see the stunned faces and whispers quickly started back up. The table was just simply that with two chairs behind each table followed by another one in front and so it went. Reese and I typically sat i
Lunch was great and although I knew we had a class coming up I found myself pulling Rogan to the library. “I want a few moments alone with you.” My body temperature was rising and my mind was focused on very dirty things, dirty things I wanted to do with Rogan, especially after today. I was barely even a part of my mind at that point. We walked into the library and I pulled him along with me and he came with me smiling and eager not entirely sure. There was the closet in the far back I put my hand on the brassy knob and just as I thought the door opened. It was a small closet and I pulled Rogan in. “Kel, what are we doing in here.” I quickly locked the door and lunged at him kissing him mercilessly. Our tongues tangled in a dance of anticipation and I started to move my hands to his rising erect which I stroked with my hand over his clothing. “Damn Kel, slow down a bit, wait you are burning up.” His statement was made as his hands brushed my forehead. “Kel, shit this isn’t you, is
B By the end of the day, I felt almost normal again and was grateful Rogan only allowed what he did. I knew deep down he was right that I needed to just adjust to my wolf and in less than a week I would be back to some kind of new normal. Although fear was building in me that maybe in a week, my new normal wouldn’t be anything like this. It was the few things Rogan said about him never seeing a wolf be like this. What if there was, I was missing? I wanted to talk to someone who had gone through the change and see what it was like but I doubted “my mom”, Melina would be much help. I also worried she would take it as a sign that was the next high priestess and I made a note to pray again to the moon goddess to not allow that to happen. The truth was I’d always hoped when my wolf came out. I’d meet my mate quickly and be able to go to part-time priestess duties like priestesses who came and went back to their families but I wasn't sure if there were many like that anymore. They seeme
I ran the entire way home and was a sweaty mess but still had a few minutes to spare before the fitting. I took a quick look in the mirror and realized I was a hot mess. I did my best to freshen up with some simple new clothes, deodorant, and redid my hair quickly, and raced into the big living room where my fitting was. I raced to make frantic apologies but although I was on time, I could see many of the priestesses were there and then I looked around to see I was the only one not dressed in their white gowns and made eye contact with the high priestess sitting on the red felt couch with a golden trip. Shit! I could see all the faces and knew nobody was pleased. I found myself looking from priestess to priestess until I landed on sweet Laura who gave me a half smile trying to encourage me to push through. Before I could say a word I heard her speak, “Kellina you are late,” with a very snapping tone. I wasn’t even sure what to do so I bowed lowering my head and taking a step toward
I raced to get to them after hearing the large commotion from over a mile away. I entered the woods and could hear wolves everywhere. This was it, this was the attack. I knew some of the guards had been able to catch up to some of the red wolves but I was hoping it was too late. I smelled for Kellina and Rogan and finally, there was an opening and there it was. There was blood splattered on trees and leaves everywhere. I could see her naked body and I did my best to take a big sniff. Death I smelled death. I ran to her in wolf form changing as I went to human so I could help her easier. I grabbed my jeans that fell and quickly threw them on. I came to her side. “Fuck Kellina!” There was blood all over her and I didn’t know where to start. I checked and she had a pulse but where was the death I looked around praying to the moon goddess it wasn’t Rogan. There no more than 10 feet away was Melina the High Priestess with her throat ripped out. I was inhaling her death but I could smell
We walked to the edge of the woods and inside. I should have known where Rogan was leading me but between kissing each other every few steps and stopping for a few gropes and grabs here and there I was distracted besides I wanted this moment and so far it was perfect. I felt the briefest feeling of uneasiness as if someone was watching us but I assumed someone might have been because given everything I doubted that the Alpha would not ensure some extra wolves were patrolling. I wondered if it was Erin because I hadn’t seen him yet at the ceremony but then again I didn’t think I would. The thoughts drifted in and out of my mind as we came to the opening with the waterfall. The waterfall that had been our first time kissing and the first time we knew there were sparks nobody else understood or we yet. He grinned at me, “I just thought it should be here if that’s okay?” I nodded grinning with not a care in the world. He started taking off his handsome suit and tie. I tried to get my d
I barely remembered the dress Clara had me try on only the morning before but the last couple of days were a blur and my only focus was on Rogan. I had already had my hair done with a low braided bun that Resse supervised the entire time to ensure that my red showed true with the white and red blending into every braid. My makeup was very natural as Laura ensured and then my nails were painted with Sarah's overseeing ensuring that they were french tipped with a red ruby design on both thumbs. “You have to make sure you show your red priestesses side as much as your white priestess side.” She directed. It was a long afternoon of primping and prepping but many laughs were had by all the women and everyone truly looked amazing by the end. I liked mating ceremonies I realized more at the pack house I realized quickly because everyone was allowed to wear clothing that truly represented them. Sarah of course, in her deep red hat, matched her hair. Reese wore green which brought at he
The next couple of days swirled by in beautiful bliss. Rogan and I had finally committed ourselves and all that was left now was to complete the ceremony and complete the mating with marks. I had taken precautions to ensure I wasn’t going to get pregnant not even a day before the ceremony thanks to Laura. I just felt like Rogan and I needed some time to be just us before adding anything else into the mix. I probably should have told Rogan but I would when the time was right at this point there was just no real point. Instead, I enjoyed the next day loving each other inside and out. We had barely taken a breath out of our room besides a quick dress fitting that I barely remembered what the dress even looked like because I was in such a hurry just to get back to Rogan and us. The rest of the time we spent constantly naked touching and exploring each other with occasional stops to eat and sleep when needed to refuel ourselves. Now it was the day of the ceremony and there was a note sli
Rogan smiled sneakily as he untied my robe exposing my entire naked body to him. “Rogan….” I was trying to plead to him in some form but not sure what just felt a bit self-conscious but the way he licked his lips told me I should not feel uncomfortable. The lotion in his hands warmed to his touch. “Shhhh….You are sore baby but I still want you so bad, let me make this a bit easier on you.” I couldn't stop him at that moment as I was hooked on his naked body peeking from underneath his robe and those seductive eyes looking at me begging me to comply. He started by rubbing lotion on my stomach and then went up to the top of my breasts, encircling them and making sure to pay extra attention and gentleness to my nipples moving his fingers around and over them lightly pinching a bit as he went. He slowly examined each one causing me to moan to his touch and arch my back as my body started to take over with desire. He took advantage of me arching my back, reaching and rubbing my
At the words spoken, Rogan pulled me deep into his arms kissing me with his velvet lips. My heat below ignited and before he could I moved my hands up underneath his shirt pulling it up as my hands glided up his chiseled chest and pulled off his shirt. His arms went up without a fight and just as quickly he was pulling off my shirt. My bra was off just as quickly and his mouth devoured my breasts causing me to lean back and moan. His hands going to my pants and began unbuttoning them with easy strides. Not to be undone I came up from my own ecstasy of his touch and rubbed my hand up his leg to his already stiff election and unbutton his pants exposing his penis. For a brief moment before I was lost again in his touch I knew this meant he'd been out in wolf form and wondered what he'd been doing but then his hand went down pulling my pants off with one swift motion and I was lost once again in his touch.My hand wrapped around his cock rubbing it back and forth. He let probably th
Laura and I spent the remainder of the afternoon talking with me explaining a lot about my dreams. Laura was quiet asking a few questions here and there and I could feel the relief as I had let it all out to my mother. We both burst into tears when I told her what my mother said and I could tell she was truly moved. Rogan sent up a sandwich tray and sent me a message saying he thought this was what I needed. I wasn’t sure how he knew this is what I needed but it was. Laura had been the largest most important person in my life besides him and deep down I felt her as my mother. Sometimes the only thing you need in this world was your mother and I was beginning to understand that more than ever today. “Tomorrow is your dress fitting and I think every white priestess may be there so I hope that will be alright.” I nodded. “Kellina this part is important but I don’t think you should visit that Gorm until at least after the ceremony.” I went to protest. “I don’t think it will do you any g
I allowed myself to drift off to sleep from my tears. Sure enough, I floated up, and as much as I could control hurried my floating up above the packhouse and into the woods because I knew he was going to be waiting. As I touched down in the familiar spot and felt the leaves on my feet even though it wasn’t completely possible. I ignored the friendly loving smiles and stomped over to them. “So nobody wanted to mention we were direct descendants from the first red wolf? Oh, and none of you could tell me that you were killed by your pack?” I growled at them and I could see the surprise in my father and mother’s eyes but looking behind them there was my redheaded grandmother. “What do you suppose your anger will do for this my dear?” I fired right at her walking in the middle between my mother and father whose arms extended wanting to comfort me. “My anger is all I have left so it would appear.” I then fell in desperation to my knees right in front of her. “Because instead, I have
I waited for the guards to be out of sight making a few comments about how they couldn’t believe they could take a break and nobody would be watching him then assured Erin was at the front of the door. I approached him smiling and trying not to show how much excitement I had for what was about to happen. He looked annoyed and immediately flashed his phone showing Gorm now alone in his cell. “This is linked to my phone, Rogan’s, and the Alphas. I’m not sure if the Alpha is watching in real-time but you can damn well bet Rogan is.” I nodded in understanding. “Absolutely no funny business Kellina, you have powers that others don’t but you are not to risk yourself.” He glared at me then smiled looking me up and down. “Nice outfit by the way.” I rolled my eyes in response, “Am I free to go now, master?” I walked by him and he quickly shot out grabbing my arm. “Be careful with your words Kellina, I remember everything you say to me.” I could feel the heat he was putting off toward
