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 was in complete shock and was told to get ready and be sure I looked on point for dinner with the Alphas. I raced to my bedroom and grabbed my phone. I am going to figure out a way to see you. This is not how this going to go down. I will not give up that easily. This was just as I had thought, this was Rogan finding a way. My head was spinning and I wondered what the hell he was thinking. I quickly grabbed my phone. Is this you at work with dinner? Ding! It was a quick response. 😊 See ya soon. I was debating how to respond when Laura came in. “So, this Rogan seems to have some plays up his sleeve, huh?” “I told him that we needed to not do anything right now and just be done.” “Well clearly he isn’t going to take that as an answer, is he?” I threw my arms, “I don’t know what to do. How could this possibly play out?” “Kellina, relax. I think this could be a good thing." “How can this possibly be a good thing? I don’t know what Rogan was thinking!”

  • The Blessed Priestess (Book One)   Restroom

    The bathroom was in the hallway behind a closed door to the dining room. It was full of doors to priestess rooms and there was a bathroom in the middle luckily the kitchen was on the other side where the priestess was cooking and prepping for the meal. I walked quickly and did not say a word as I was unsure of what to say to Rogan at this moment. “Hey wait up, little priestess.” His hand reached for mine from behind and I snapped my hand up to my chest before he could get a good hold. “Well, that wasn’t very nice, “he pouted. We arrived at the other side of the door and I folded my arms leaning on the other side so he could open it freely. “Here you are future alpha, do you need me to wait so you don’t get lost?” I glared at him trying to ignore the fantastic smell of his cologne and his chiseled smile looking me over. He reached out to the top of where my arm was showing and traced his finger down. “Are you going to tell me why you are so angry and not at all excited I

  • The Blessed Priestess (Book One)   Dinner Rogan's POV

    Christ this woman was more nuts than I had realized! She was going to keep Kellina tied up in the basement if you weren’t careful about the words you spoke! Not let her go back to school! I mean it was one more week and we would be done then two more weeks before my birthday. That was three weeks without her and I couldn’t make it a fucking day! I thought I had a good plan when I had put into my father’s mind that as I was coming of age that we needed to start visiting all the houses and how we should start with the white wolves with their special ceremony coming up. I needed to get to Kellina and it was my only idea and I thought it had been working well with our quick bathroom break I felt her kiss me and I knew deep down she wouldn’t give up on us but three weeks away before I’d ever have power to get her out of this stupid white wolves’ house, fuck, it was too much! I was grateful that my mother deflected and they began distracting themselves speaking of the charm of the

  • The Blessed Priestess (Book One)   The Exit

    Kellina was nervous and excited twirling her bracelet Rogan had given her as her mind faded away while the Alphas and the High Priestess spoke to each other. In some ways, she knew it was a good thing if the alpha family came and especially Rogan, but she wasn’t even sure what her wolf would look like. What if Rogan didn’t like her? What if she wasn’t ready for all of what was to become? If only there was a way for her to just hide in the woods and have her birthday all by herself so she could decide when everyone got to see her. Now it was turning into more of an intimidating moment with the Alpha family now being present. His breath behind me sent chills went down my spine, “I like that bracelet on you.” I could hear the smirk in his deep voice. I turned to him taking him in and then surveying the scene to assure nobody was listening. “Why are you doing this?” Rogan’s hand went up to brush a hair from her face but she backed away subtly because it would be far

  • The Blessed Priestess (Book One)   The Walk Rogan's POV

    The breeze was cool and I was grateful as it allowed me to calm myself as we strode along making our way down and over closer to home. For the last 100 feet, she didn’t speak and I waited as I knew my mother was gathering her thoughts and looking back maybe making it so we weren’t in earshot of anyone especially anyone who would be listening to that would report to the High Priestess. I tried to gather my thoughts and prepared for her questions. “So are you going to tell me?” She finally glanced over at me and I speed up my walk to match hers. I decided to play dumb as the best first option. “I’m not sure what you mean mom.” I shrugged my shoulders and took in her dark brown eyes staring at me. My mom was truly an amazing woman and beautiful too. She was so comforting and warm and I was grateful she had picked up on what might be happening rather than my father who would have been furious I was even engaging another person before I was for sure they were my mate. “Rogan, ar

    I did my best to keep walking and prayed -to the goddess that I could just get to my room without her saying a word. I was through the entrance and making my way through the formal greeting area. “Stop!” She yelled and I froze at the impact of the words. I slowly turned around to see her face redonned with fury. Red like I had never seen and I could see Laura’s face behind me frightened as I was with the anger she yelled, “Kellina sit down now.” I am still as I possibly could while still moving made it to the chair next to me and used the armchair for grip and strength. She came up to me her eyes directly on my face looking at me all over as if she was trying to see more than was there. I was terrified but my wolf was desperately trying to get me to rage which I was able due to my fear silence my wolf and put it in a block of ice until this was over. I looked up to meet eyes with her. I felt like she stared me up and down for hours but was likely more like seconds. “Tell me rig

  • The Blessed Priestess (Book One)   Midnight

    My head was spinning of all I had witnessed. I realized this evening that I should have been so much better to my fellow priestesses for so long and I regretted it all. I made a new proclamation to myself to take more notice of all of them and truly get to know their spirits in their hearts. I was even more grateful for Laura, Caroline, and even Sophia for being so brave. We agreed to speak further after my birthday ceremony and I’d hoped I could match up to all of their dreams of who my wolf could be. I was getting more nervous by the minute and thought Laura could be crazy for thinking my wolf would be powerful because after that slap by her, The High Priestess, I felt like anything could break me. I rubbed my cheek thinking to myself and looking towards the time as it got closer to midnight. Was I really brave enough to go out to the garden and meet Rogan and goddess help me if we were spotted? Still, I did want to see him and longed to thank him for all he had done fo

  • The Blessed Priestess (Book One)   Midnight Rogan's POV

    My heart was full and enthralled with her porcelain skin and her fingers tantalizing my body as she became a braver explorer. I took in her words deeply and concerning. She was so worried and my anger was intense at how the high priestess had treated her let alone slapped her. I had to admit I hadn’t thought my statements were that surprising that she would in the end take it out on Kellina. I had to be more careful with my words and actions around her because nothing in me could bare the idea again of me being the reason she was hurt or upset. It killed my entire insides but I knew we didn’t have the time nor the luxury of me acting on any of it. Instead, I took her in as she stood there in the moonlight with beautiful tendrils of hair escaping her usually down hair almost past her small slender butt. I was desperate to squeeze it and run my fingers through that untamed hair, but she had made it clear I needed to keep my distance. I should have paid closer attention to

    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
