Alpha Avery We are watching our mate be the little badass that she is. She easily takes down Harrison, making me smile with pride that she is my mate. “There is something different about her Avery,” says Spartan. “She does appear stronger faster than I anticipated and her reflexes are lightening quick. Can you sense her wolf?” “I know she is in there but she doesn’t seem to want to make herself known to Haley for some reason. I would say her wolf will appear soon with how strong Haley has gotten.” Suddenly Spartan’s ears prick up, concentrating on Haley. “What is it Spartan?” He doesn't answer me right away so I try to concentrate on Haley as well. “I thought I sensed her wolf there and tried coaxing her out but nothing. Maybe I’m just desperate and tricking myself." “You’ve gotten stronger I see Haley,” I tell her, letting her know I am proud of her progress. “Oh, uh, yeah. Harrison and Aiden are good teachers plus with my dad’s training it didn’t take long to get back in
Alpha Avery “Do you smell that Spartan?” “I do. Who is our mate checking out?” “I am not sure. There are plenty of wolves here her age, so it could be anyone.” As soon as her arousal hit me I stopped dead in my tracks in the middle of the court. Our eyes lock and she blushes turning her gaze away from me. Could it be she is turned on by watching me? I can only hope it’s me and not one of these pups. Some of them have wolves but none of them seem to pay her any attention. I watch her leave to the coffee shop across the street and I force myself to turn my attention back to the game. I need to end this now so I can go to her. I need to know if her feelings have shifted even in the slightest. Nothing but net, as the ball sinks in for three points. “Alright boys, I gotta get going. Good game though.” I give everyone high fives before leaving them to go after my mate. “What’s got you in such a hurry,” says Mason, hot on my heels. “I think Haley is feeling the mate bond more and
Haley The first time his skin made contact with mine I was ready to jump into his arms and let him mark me right then and there. The second time his skin made contact with mine I swear I was going to orgasm. A tingling sensation spread from his touch right to my core, igniting a fire. I can tell his pack respects him and the kids love him. Watching him with the kids today makes me believe he is going to be a great father someday. “There is something else I want to show you, if you’ll let me.” “Okay.” I didn’t even think twice when agreeing to his request. I know it’s a bad idea but at the same time I don’t want to go home quite yet. I let him lead me to his truck and watch as the little wolf town disappears behind us as he drives up the mountain. Alpha Avery turns on the radio and Selena Gomez’s song, Kill ‘Em With Kindness, is playing. He goes to change it but I start singing along and he stops. I can’t help but feeling so relaxed around him as I belt out the lyrics and danc
Haley His question of my happiness shocks me. I have never given much thought to my happiness but more of my freedom. I think with time I could be happy here in this pack. I am happy to be free, that is for sure, but I don’t know if this is the pack I want to spend the rest of my life in. Honestly, if it weren’t for the boys I probably would’ve left as soon as I could. “Honestly Alpha Avery I’m just happy to be alive and free, no matter where that takes me. The boys are happy here so I don’t plan on moving to another pack.” I know that is not the answer he is searching for, but it’s the best I can give him. I am careful with my words. I won’t move to another pack but if he discovers I know he is my mate I will go rogue to protect my mate from a horrible fate. I also don’t want to endanger this pack if word gets out of what I am. Alpha Avery is staring at me intensely and I wonder what it would feel like to have his lips on mine. As if he is reading my mind, he slides closer to me a
Alpha Avery I wake up extra early, unable to sleep. I am over the moon at the progress we made, but confused as to what is holding her back. I wonder if her fear is the reason her wolf has yet to show herself or if Haley has mentally put a block up preventing her wolf from coming out. I’ve never heard of that happening, but there has to be some explanation. Haley must’ve gone through pretty traumatic events while at Red Moon. I am awake before everyone in the house so I decide to head to my office to get some paperwork completed. Maybe I can get enough done to hang out with Haley today. There is a knock on my office door and I look at my clock. It’s still only six in the morning. Who would be needing to see me at this hour. “Come in.” I immediately regret it. In walks Amanda. She is a skilled warrior I’ll give her that, but she doesn’t hide the want for me to choose her as my mate. At first I thought it was just a kid crush but once she turned eighteen her advances increased. Now
Haley It’s helpful that I don’t have a scent to anyone. I just need to be stealthy and get past border patrol. I easily find the patrol’s blind spot and step over the territory into no man’s land. I know this will be dangerous if I run into rogues, who will want to sell me as a slave, or wild rogues who will kill me without a second thought. “Don’t worry Haley, you have me now. We can take on anyone.” I like that Hazel is confidant. It makes me feel better because I do not feel strong enough to fight off an attack. The further we get away from Crescent Moon, the harder I struggle to push forward. My body and mind are struggling with leaving my mate behind, I didn’t realize it would be this difficult. I feel like I am being ripped in two as we move farther and farther from Crescent Moon. “Our bond is stronger than I have ever felt before. It’s normally not this hard Haley.” “We need to push through. I will not let him die because of me. His pack needs him, the slaves need him to b
Haley I can’t believe I am standing in front of the cabin I last saw my parents. It’s looks run down a bit but at least the roof is in tack. As the sun sets I can feel the temperature drop fast so we head inside so we can build a fire inside. “This will work Hazel. I can pin up blankets so the light doesn’t let out into the night.” “Are you sure Haley? You might not like what you see inside.” “We don’t have a choice Hazel. It’s dark and I don’t want to build a fire in the open, we would be spotted too easily.” She knows I am right. We are just going to have to suck it up and face whatever is inside. Hazel gives me back control and I throw my clothes back on. I carefully walk up the steps, making sure the wood hasn’t rotted. I turn the handle to the front door and push it open. The door creaks open and I have to use my wolf eyes to see where I am going. Thankfully the windows still have their curtains on them. I rummage through the draws and find the hammer and nails my dad kept a
Haley It seems blood red wolves have used this book as a journal and it gets passed down to the next one. The last entry is from the fifties. I can’t believe what I am reading. This has got to be some sick joke right? ‘December 1952 A dark witch has successfully created a potion that will make a blood red wolf obedient to her master. There is no known cure at this time. My mother is lost, gone and I’m never going to get her back. Blood red wolves beware, trust no one. I have gone into hiding deep in the woods where no humans or wolves live. It’s a hard life but at least I am free.’ ‘March 1953 Someone has found me, I am going to have to leave. He was just a human but still, I need to be cautious. I just don’t know where I am going to go.’ ‘August 1953 I ran into a wolf today. He is my mate. He wants me to come live with him in his pack and I’ve said yes. He doesn’t know what I am but I can keep that a secret and we can live happily together.’ ‘March 1954 I have given birth to
