It has been a week since I’ve been at home, my wolf and I can’t take being away from our mate anymore. Just knowing she’s in the house with him is driving us crazy. Dads been asking the elders about what is happening but nobody seems to understand as this hasn’t happened before.Apparently wolves have been known to find their second chance mates while they’re still with their first destined mate but they’ve never known it to be between brothers. They’re not even sure if that should be possible. Nowhere in any of the history books written of our kind is there even one mention of this.‘We have to see mate, she will know it’s us not him’ my wolf is pacing, I haven’t been able to let him out since we smelt her because he would go to claim her and I can’t let that happen until we understand this. But I can’t hold back from seeing her anymore, I won’t claim her as mine but I have to see her, before anyone can say anything I find myself marching towards the pack house.Goddess, please let h
“Come in Jackson.” I cringed, I had to control myself but goddess was it difficult!“Alpha, Finn.” He nodded at both of us and came to sit in the chair next to mine with a grunt escaping his mouth, he wouldn’t look directly at me. I guess I get it, I may be his brother but I’m still ‘competition’. “Jackson, I - I’m sorry. I honestly wish this wasn’t happening but I can’t help it, it’s not me, it’s the bond. I’m sorry brother.” I couldn’t hold it in anymore, a stray tear made it’s way down my face.“Finn, look at me.” I reluctantly looked my brother in the face and he finally made eye contact with me. “I don’t hate you for this I’m just mad at the moon goddess for doing this to us. You deserve a mate but Misha is mine, I can’t just walk away even if it’s for you. I hope you understand, I don’t want to hurt you but I need her, I already love her.” He looked at our father who looked just as lost as us. “I’m sorry, I just needed to know if I was imagining it, but I know now it’s real an
I had a great time out with Jackson’s mum, she’s so friendly, turns out I can be close to a mother figure without being under threat. She is truly amazing. We shopped and she kept encouraging me to go so many different clothes that I loved, I never really had this many things before because it wasn’t easy to pack up and run if I had too many things.After we got home Jackson came to our room and asked me to have a chat with him and his brother Finn.Mates.They were my mates. Both of them. Brothers. But my mates. How did that even make any sense? I don’t know what to do now, I’m laying in bed worried about having to choose and break one of these men. But not only breaking one of them but breaking their bonds as brothers! How was I supposed to do something like that? I couldn’t believe that a few weeks ago I was alone just worrying about keeping myself safe and now I had to worry about who to give my heart and soul to. It seemed surreal, I never pictured myself in a problem like th
“Finn? You can turn back now, thanks for the hoodie.” He turned and smiled, I could tell he like me in his clothes, just like Jackson did when I wear his T-shirt’s to bed. “I couldn’t sleep and decided to go for a run, I hadn’t shifted in almost two years so you can imagine how great it was to run around for a few hours!” I giggled at how silly I must seem.“Two years?! Goddess I don’t think my wolf would ever let me get away with that. He used to go crazy when I made him wait a week while on school trips with humans!”“I know it must seem crazy but it was the safest thing for me, I covered my scent so supernaturals couldn’t tell I was one of them be it wolf, vampire or witch. I couldn’t risk anyone knowing me or what I was.” I looked down at me feet and sighed. “What’s got you up at night then?” I made eye contact as I sat and tapped the ground beside me.He walked over and sat next to me, this was our first proper interaction with each other but I wasn’t worried. In fact I was extre
I hated having to share her. The idea that she might pick Finn over me was driving me crazy. I couldn’t deal with the fact she had two mates, let alone the other being my brother.I stayed up all night in the gym going through many bunching bags. I went to see her in her room yesterday but she was asleep after her run. I found her laying there in my T-shirt but Finn’s jumper. I was so angry I could hardly hold my wolf back. I understand she has a choice to make, but why would the moon goddess do this to me? I know I hadn’t waited for my mate, I really wished I had now, maybe this was my punishment for my man-whore ways. She might pick him and I don’t know if I’d be able to deal with that, would I be able to stay as an Alpha with a broken soul and my mate being with my brother in the pack I’m supposed to run? I don’t think that would ever be something I could deal with, even if I asked them to leave the pack I doubt I’d be able to function as a good enough Alpha to my pack. Walking b
This last couple of days with my mate had been amazing. Our run went well and we spent the entire next day together! We made brownies together and I’m sure we got more flour over each other and the kitchen then in the actual mix. Let’s just say that the chef wasn’t impressed when she came in to make lunch and found us in that state! I was always the serious brother but now I felt carefree and happy. If this is how Jackson felt when he was running around avoid his duties then I understood, it was an addictive feeling and I wanted more. More fun, more happiness, more to her. Misha. The goddess that owned me and my soul. She was everything and I was nothing, to be in her presence and hear her stunning voice was to be in heaven.If there was ever an embodiment of the moon goddess on earth, she was it. Stunning, brave, powerful, and yet soft and kind. How after all her hardships in life she became this amazing woman I will never know. The strength I refer to isn’t her power, while that is
Jackson sat down behind his desk just as I walked in with flushed cheeks.“Been running? Or just tripped over thin air and got embarrassed?” A rumbling laugh fell out of his mouth.“Hey!! That only happened once and you swore not to bring it up again!” I glowered at him and crossed my arm over my chest. “Okay, okay, I surrender!” He held his hands up, “then why, my sweet, are you blushing?”“If you must know, I lay on my bed and then remembered you wanted to chat to us so I rushed to get dressed and get here!” I lied, I didn’t want them to know I had heard their earlier conversation. “Anyway, where’s Finn?” “Oh, he’s just getting us some coffee.” “You two seem civil again?” I smiled warmly.“I suppose we are love, I care deeply for him, he’s my blood, my wolf has just been on edge around him because of... well you know why. But it doesn’t mean I won’t one day get over my wolf and be his brother in the public eye again.” He smiled back at me with a cheeky gilt in his eyes, god I lov
I was fuming, how could she think so little of herself? How could she believe that we would let her go alone to die? Didn’t she know we loved her?! I was ready to start shouting again when i heard her whisper, “I could have had my revenge, I could have been free, but I can’t have their blood on my hands too. I’ve taken enough lives already. I can’t do that again.”What is she on about? She needs to know this is a kill or be killed situation, if she had just let me finish she would have heard my plan! She started to whisper through sobs again, “I can’t become a killer again. I won’t survive it.” My heart lurched, my poor mate, she’s so broken. Who has she had to kill before? “I need you to both sit on the sofa and take a hand each. I need to show you something. I’m sorry if your opinions of me change, I will take the rejection that I deserve, but first let me show you.” I started to speak and she pressed a slender finger to my lips, “just do as I ask, both of you, please?” The spa
I froze as the echo of the Alpha’s howl faded, the absence of Jackson’s voice more palpable than ever. The realization hit me like a sledgehammer—Jackson had left, and he was in trouble.The Alpha's eyes met mine, filled with determination and urgency. “We need to find him. Now.”Finn burst into the room, having heard the howl. “What’s going on?”“Jackson’s gone,” the Alpha said, his voice strained. “We have to bring him back before it’s too late.”Finn’s face went pale, but he nodded. “I’ll gather the pack.”Within minutes, the entire pack was assembled, ready to track down their future leader. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Jackson was trying to protect us, to fulfill the prophecy alone. But he didn’t have to do this by himself. We were a pack, and we faced everything together.The Alpha led the search, with Finn and me right beside him. Using my connection with Jackson, I guided us through the dense forest. The bond was weak, but I could sense his direction. Every moment felt li
I woke up wrapped up in Finn’s arms…Finn…my mate! I rolled to face him, his arms still holding me close, I blushed as I thought of what we did last night. That’s when it hit me, oh goddess I was still naked!! I squirmed and tried to get free of his embrace so I could find something to cover my body.“Where are you trying to run off too little mate?” Finn’s husky morning voice asked, I blushed more at how his voice made my stomach flip and dirty thoughts clouded my mind.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you. I was… I was just going to get up to find my clothes.”“Running off while I’m asleep huh?” He opened his eyes, “We are mates now Misha, no need to cover up, in fact… I’d prefer you to be naked in my arms forever.” He winked as he released me to hover above me and kiss my mark.I couldn’t resist letting the moan leave my lips as my body woke up under his gaze. “If we don’t stop this I won’t be any use when we leave. I need my body to be able to function Finn.” He chuckled deeply as he
I left them in the kitchen, I know they need this time, it’s not fair to stand in their way. This is all they get with each other. I walked to my room and sank to the floor balling my eyes over loosing my brother. It’s hasn’t happened yet and I already feel robbed. How can I ever be happy again knowing I took the little time together they had away by sticking my nose in? I’ve ruined his one chance at love in the short life he’s been handed. And I call myself his brother? I cried and cried until I fell asleep. I woke up to load banging on my door, it must be night as the room is covered in a blanket of darkness now. Stretching my body out I stood and took in a deep breath as I opened the door to be met with her intoxicating scent.“Misha? What are you doing here?” I couldn’t help the hope and guilt that was messing with my stomach as I stared at my beautiful second chance.“Can we talk?” Her voice was so unsure, and dread filled my mind… what if she was going to reject me?“Of course
I know I should have gone after Misha but Finn did, when I heard them get home I want to go see them but they were cuddled up on the sofa watching some tv show. I didn’t want to interrupt that, it hurt seeing them like that but I knew I’d failed her in that situation, giving into my shock. I left them and went to my office to make sure everything was set up for our trip. I’ll tell them tomorrow, one more night not knowing won’t hurt them. It’s now the morning so I’m making breakfast for all of us to have together and chat about my plan. I hope they agree it’s the best thing for us to do.“Morning” her angelic voice floated into the kitchen. She was rubbing her sleepy eyes and I knew they had fallen asleep on the sofa and stayed there all night. She was in a crumpled black T-shirt that fell to her knees, they must have been on a run and not changed into their own clothes when they got back. The idea of him holding her in that state of undress was making my wolf growl, but I knew he wo
I’m just laying on the sofa with Misha curled up into my side thinking about how much I yearned for this. A mate, a happy life, small moments like this throughout our lives together that mean the world. But I can’t have it, I now know what’s going to happen but how can I be happy in knowing that? *flashback*“Seer, hello.”“Hello Finn, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. My, my, you’ve grown well my boy. How can I help you?”“I have questions I need answering, I’m sure you already know about the predicament I find myself in with my brother?”“I do, your father came to ask but as I told him, I can only tell what i know to those it directly involves.” I gave her a curt nod and sat down.“Well I need to know, why did the moon goddess paid us brothers with the same mate?” She looked at me with sorrow filled eyes. “This girl, she belongs in the arms of your family. You know how mates work my boy, Jackson is her destined mate, you are her second chance mate as she is yours.”“I don’t u
We had been running for quite some time when Finn slowed to a stop. He shifted behind a tree and came out in shorts hanging low on his waist and pulling shirt over his head. Even in my current mood I couldn’t help but practically drool over his stunning chest shimmering as sweat rolled down where I want my hand to be. When the shirt was over his body I snapped out of my trance and was glad I was in wolf form or he would have seen my list filled eyes and red cheeks. Goddess how did I end up with two such stunning mates? “The store box is right there, I’ll wait over here.” He said walking back into the opening. I nodded my head and went to where he just came from.After a few minutes I walked back to him in a knee length white T-shirt, I found a dress but it was far too short for my liking so I went with this. “What are we doing?”“I have someone I want you to meet. She lives out here to keep connected with the goddess herself and to stay out of the way of pack distractions.”I couldn’
Jackson and I had been sitting here in his office for a long time. I know one of us should probably have gone after Misha but we were still processing everything that had just happened. She had shared her memories with us, she had been through a lot, she had been responsible for the entire packs death that everyone in the werewolf community was still living in fear of. Everyone thought whatever mystical events had occurred there would soon follow and kill every pack in the blink of an eye. Nobody could ever know it was her, but in a sense I felt safer and better for our pack knowing there isn’t some dangerous force of nature out there killing wolves. But our poor Misha, she’s lived with that ever since knowing, however unintentional it may have been, that those deaths lay in her hands. At the age of 15, it’s no wonder she kept running even though she could have easily dealt with her mother and her previous Alpha, she hid as a human because of the guilt. “I’m going to go find her,
(FLASHBACK CONTINUED...)Just keep running, don’t stop.My aura was rolling off me in waves and I could see fighting it to continue the chance was taking its toll on his warriors, they had started to fall back no matter how hard they were trying to resist. The Alpha roared in anger and pushed himself more. I was too tired to keep up this pace. But he was gaining on me so I kept trying.Just keep running, don’t stop.There, what’s that noise? I can here a strong whooshing sound... a waterfall!! I ran knowing if I made it I could relax as I fall to the water below, they wouldn’t follow me down a waterfall! Just keep running, don’t stop.My legs were a blazing fire of pain, I was slowing down even though I seemed to be pushing myself harder.Just keep running, don’t stop.My legs felt like they were weighed down with lead. But I was at the edge now, I leapt over the cliff leading to the waterfalls deep drop. I closed my eyes.Pain. That’s all I could feel. Pain erupted throughout my b
