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
The cool water felt good on my very hot sweaty skin and I could feel the tension releasing from my body. I was grateful Laura was there and noticed my anger. If I had erupted on the high priestess there was no telling where’d I would end up but I had heard horror stories in the past of there being a place for those who disobeyed the leaders of our pack. By the time I was out of the shower and finally cooled off from my rage, Laura had tidied up my room. I saw Laura for the beautiful woman she was and unique to us in so many ways here at the home of the high priestess. Laura had a motherly nature and I was so grateful she projected some of that nature onto me. “Kellina, are you doing better?” I nodded as she came over and felt my face and arms feeling to the now coolness. “Was it your wolf?” I nodded again. “Kellina I think your wolf will be very powerful I had never seen such rage in you before. You are going to have to let me know if you begin to feel that way again so we ca
The entire day felt amazing. As soon as Reese and Alec were done squabbling at each other and we finished laughing at them, we took off in Rogan’s car. It was amazing just to be in a car because, to be honest, I hadn’t been allowed in many vehicles in my life. It was a slick black Cadillac with a leather interior and so many knobs and buttons it took everything in me not to touch them all. It was even complete with a sunroof. We drove to the nearby city filled with huge buildings and so many stores my mouth salivated in curiosity. All the while Rogan did his best to drive with one hand and hold my hand with the other. His warmth on my hand kept me centered and made me feel comfortable in my skin. For the smallest of moments, I felt like a real teenager preparing for adulthood in less than a week with graduation following shortly afterward. I couldn’t believe how good this day felt being with people who cared about me and I cared about them too. Alec was quickly becoming one o
We pulled into a place just at the edge of the city filled with large trees and we all got out of the car as we walked Rogan was kind and held my son as we followed the path through the trees. He grinned as we came to a large open space filled with many people for a Tuesday afternoon and a very large Ferris Wheel with some other smaller amusement rides. Alec grinned and grabbed Reese’s hand, “Come we are going to the strawberries, I want to see if I can make you vomit.” Reese laughed as she was pulled away jokingly giggling out, “Help me”. As we watched her brown hair sway in the breeze. The more those two were together the more I thought there was something there. Rogan wrapped his arms around me pulling me close to his chest as he whispered in my ear, ‘What are you thinking?” “I think those two might just be....” “Mates?” Rogan finished my sentence and I nodded in agreement as we both giggled. “I think so too, how cool will it be to have our besties right by our side
I was about 100 feet away from that front porch when I saw her standing there just watching me as I ran and wouldn’t you know it rain began coming down. I stopped for a moment in fear and then really tried to take the high priestess, the woman who dared try to say she was my mother, Melina. Her face was expressionless and almost porcelain. I realized at that moment she was no more than a doll who the priestess dressed and I knew I would never be her. I took off in a dead run towards the towering house and made a decision then and there that I would not let that be my life and I would fight back however I could. I started puffing as I ran as it wasn’t easy running in my outfit of choice and it wasn’t as I was accustomed to running but I could feel in my body the heat rising, my wolf telling myself I could go faster and I was stronger than everyone had thought. I felt my strides becoming longer and faster and it wasn’t more than a minute more I was making one large leap up the stairs t
It had been hours now. Well into the night with not a single soul coming to my room. I was terrified to go out even though my wolf inside begged me to go eat. “Patience, just wait until we know it's silent.” I felt more relieved and calmer talking to the damn thing inside me that could not wait at this point to come out. “Three days, three days and we can be together.” I stopped to think to myself if I was talking about myself and my wolf, or Rogan and me. I ignored Reese and his texts the entire night not wanting to admit the truth I knew to myself. I would not see them again until my wolf and I was one. I couldn’t stop wishing Rogan had his birthday first as he could then declare me as his mate and I could just go to the Wolf Packhouse and stay there until I was 18 instead it was two weeks later, he would turn 18 and we would both know. I laid back trying to imagine the enjoyment of being out of this house and close to him. Knowing that we would be together as mates forever still
I woke up to my phone buzzing over and over again. I looked over and realized Reese, Rogan and even Alex had sent me more messages and way too many missed calls to count. I looked over at the time and saw it was passed 8:00 am and realized Laura, my mother (funny to be able to think that even in my head now) was not there. I rubbed my eyes and saw a note now on my phone. Good morning, Today we will persevere and make this day our best knowing that we have plans to get away. So please know no matter what is said or done we are together and will be forever from this time forward. Now get ready and come to the reception hall no later than 9:00 am. All my love, Mother I felt her love from the moment I touched the letter and after starting to plan last night with her I for the first time did not feel helpless. I was so surprised by how well she handled the situation with Rogan and me and even gave me some hope that perhaps our feelings being as strong as they were could very
The morning was a blur and I wasn’t sure if it was because of how many hands were on me perfecting my dress but also the fact that the High Priestess had pretended as if nothing had even happened yesterday. I could see through some of the smiles and nods as I passed by the priestess of the house that many approved with a few glares here and there that I couldn’t help but laugh at. Most of those priestesses were either very young or the ones that had never really spoken to me my entire life so that was easy to do. I tried to stick to being stiff as a board and not letting my mind wander even when I was being poked and measured. I just wasn’t sure why there was so much that needed attention. Once the morning of being fitted again was over there was the awkward lunch with the High Priestess. Neither of us said much but she did have a few words that let her believe she was in control. After my night with Laura last night and the loving pats on my shoulder as she helped me deal with
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
