It seems like we blinked, and March was here! I was counting the days now... 10 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes...
Saying I was excited was an understatement. As I left the dentist’s office, I glanced up to see my mate hurrying towards me beaming. “Hey Love,” I kissed her quickly. “How was your appointment with Doc?”
“Good! He wants you though, to get some more blood.” She grabbed my hand and we started to walk down the path. “It's amazing though, I still can’t wrap my head around it! For you to be immune to wolfsbane and not know it?”
“Well, it's like my parents said, we were never exposed to it. The flower doesn’t grow around here and getting it to use for torture was too much work when we were able to get silver. And when I got you those wolfsbane tools I was extr
“Penny get your sleeping bag and everything else you need, okay?” Samantha urged as she unlocked the Gamma suite. “I need to grab a few things for your parents and Judson but if you need any help let me know, okay?”“Yes ma’am!” She chirped as she ran into her room withNickbehind her.I watched Samantha open their closet and pull out three suitcases and a diaper bag. “Thank the Goddess they went ahead and packed some bags, but what the hell! Why so much???”Ijust shrugged,I didn’t understand it either. “Is the baby’s room finished?”“Yeah, they finished it last week.” I smiled as I peeked into the baby’s room, it was decorated in soft pastel yellows and greens. “Hey Love, what did we get them for the baby?”
“So,the werewolf world has three branches of government?” Nick asked as I sat with him while he worked on his homework. Samantha and the girls were out at the human town getting thefinishing toucheson their dresses for our ceremony.“Alright andtell me what they are.” I urged.“The Royal Family, they lead us and enact policy. The Council, they create laws and keep the packs from destroying each other. And the Judges, they ensure we are following the Goddess’ Will and they act as a balance between the Royal Family and the Council to prevent corruption.” He answered, looking through his notes. “I have to write an essay on each of them by the end of the week.” He muttered, as I got another notebook for him.Behind us we heard Judson start to cry and I smirked as Greg groaned slightly. “When is your mama co
It wasvery latewhen we got back home, the last game wasover,and Nick was already in bed sleeping peacefully when we checked on him. I smiled and looked on our coffee table to a stack of papers and a note from Nick and Violet.He finished his last essay and I looked over two of them. I pointed out his misspellings and he will fix them tomorrow. The last oneI’llleave to you... by the way. UNC won. ~VioletLike there was any doubt UNC would lose! We whooped them!I chuckled to myself and looked to the essay they left for me. Behind me my mate was taking her hair ribbons out of her hair and taking off her jewelry. “Damn, I really hate hairspray...” Shemutteredand I smiled as I put the paper down and walked over to her. With her heels on she was just as tall if not slightly taller than me and I wrapped my
The Council of Thirteen is made up of 13 of our post powerful and influential leaders. Each one is only addressed as their seat and theirseat is also their rank. For example, Number 4 is stronger than Number 9 but not as strong as Number 2. The seat of Number 1 is held by the leader of the council and is only allowed to vote on adisbutein case of a tie. Also, they haveemployvarious packs to help withtheirinvestagationsand uprisings known as the Cabinet. There are thirteen of them broken into 3 groups. 6 Inquisitors, those tasked with investigating and weeding out criminals. 6 Enforcers who are tasked withassistantingthe Inquisitors with arrests and stronger packs. Andfinally,the strongest of this group, only referred to as Number 1. This group is only brought in with the hardest and most influential cases and criminals. They have fullrieghnand authority of the council. Like the council no one kno
Did we leave the window open? I think to myself as acool breeze dancesacross my face. Beside me my mate snuggles closer to me, shivering slightly. I turn and close my eyes tighter as I bury my nose in her hair, drowning out any other smells around us.Is the TV on? What is that slight whispering I hear?Suddenly my mate is ripped from myside,and I shoot awake just in time to get pinned on the bed. Growling I kick behind me and jerk my arm free only for a stronger pair of arms to pin me further. I kick again and feel contact with my foot.“Damnit!”Wait that was? I glare around me and see Samantha slung over Holly’s shoulder while Greg holds me down. Daren is holding his side where I kicked him. “What the hell?!”“I told you this was a bad idea.” Jess
The unknown male growled. He hasn’t heard from his rogues in hours! Andall oftheir phones go right to voicemail. He slammed his fists down on the table again, making his pack jump and hide in fear. This pack was not a normal pack, it was made up of the remnants of the many packs he toppled in his mission to gather resources and allies. “What is going on?!” He raged.“You know, you could search their phone’s data from here. You did set them up with file sharing.” His mate groaned. “I swear old man why do you even bother with tech if you don’t use it.” She cursed and started to type on the computer.“You will watch your tongue.” He glared. “Mate or not you will respect me.”<Shut your face old man.> She countered. <You and I both know you need me. Without our true mate bond your power would
“Alright everyone is almost ready for us.” Jake mutters as his eyes refocused. “Here,drinksome water.” He put a water bottle in myhand,and I sipped on it. Outside the sun was setting and our guests were sitting under some hanging lights that were strung in the trees. My dad walked out first, after gripping my shoulder one more time. I drew in ashakybreath. After months of waiting and planning this was it!Being that we combined our ceremonies the flow of the mating ceremony would be a little different. Instead of me waiting at the alter like is tradition in so many packs we would walk up there together. Soon most of the girls came out to where we were standing.All ofthe titled members would march up there in order of rank. Daren grinned at my sister as she came out in a simple dark green dress. Slowly she smiled at me and hugged me softly. “I’m so happy for you, littl
“Are you okay?” Samantha asked me as I twirled her on the dance floor. My heart fluttered again andI felt more pack membersattach themselves to me.“Yeah, I’m good. It just feels weird.” I admitted as I dipped her slightly. “It feels like threads weaving around my heart.”“Yeah, just be thankfulit'snot all at one time.” Samantha smiled sadly, she was remembering when she became alpha and I hugged her close. “Butit feels like most of the omegas have already become attached. Let me know if you get winded.”I smiled ather,she was worried about me. Pulling my head down and putting her hair over my face I chuckled. Suddenly another stronger thread slammed into me making me jump slightly. “Who was that?” I muse. “Daren? Greg?”Samantha
*Five Years Later**Ben’s POV*“That’s enough for today.” I glared as the rogue breathed his last and the others in the cells shrank away from me. “You.” I pointed at the one trying to hide in the back. “See you tomorrow.” I growled and made my way out of the cells.“Good job, Alpha.” One of the guards said. “We got a lot more out of them today than we did yesterday.”I nodded. “Yes, another slave trading rogue cell. Give the notes to Beta Violet, she will email the Council with the names of the packs who have been dealing with them.” I said as I wiped my hands on a nearby towel.“Yes, Alpha.” Hesaid. “The portable shower is ready for you as well. You knowMs.Amy will throw a fit if you get blood in the packho
The next few months bounded by, on June 2ndwe went to my parents’ pack and celebrated Chris and Lauraascendingto the Alpha and Luna titles. Even though itwasn’ta full moon it was the same day our parents ascended yearsago,and Chris wanted to keep it. Ron and Orla also ascended that night, and Orla’s mating ceremony was done under the full moon on the 12th. Jake was finallyinitiatedas Violet’s mate and second Beta in July and life was starting to settle down comfortably.We ended up buying that land in Vermont, and construction was starting in the hopes we could be operational by the start of the season. We got a lot ofpushbackfrom existing slopes but Samantha just powered through, adding moreamenitiesto make our property more cost effective. The real problem she is facing now is staffing. Sheisn’tagainst using localhumans,&nbs
I woke up early, it was still dark outside but the bed beside me was empty. I was startled at first and worried. Did something happen? Why didn’t Samantha wake me up?Pulling myself out of bed I notice my phone is lit up with an unread text message.Love: Hey, something came up! Had to check out something last minute. If you get this before I get back come find me! Love you! <3Ifurrowedmy brow and quickly got up and changed, what could have happened this early in the morning? Tiptoeing out of the packhouse I glanced up, the sun would soonrise,and the early spring animals were starting to wake up. A few pack members were moving around, some heading to the gym while others were yawning and walking towards the main gate to start their shift.Passing a few of the omegas whowere in charge ofbreakfast I nodded and smile
The rest of the week was somber, mass funerals were held at mydad’spack; entire families were buried together. The guilt that radiated from my mate wasstifling, and I have no idea how to get her through it.I’vetried everything I could think of, even watching the NCAA tournamentdidn’thelp. And when UNC lost in the Final Four it backfired on me.The new TV was already here and getting hooked up.As we entered our packhouse we heard the new sound system in the entertainmentroom,and Icouldn’thelp but smile as most of the omegas that stayed in the packhouse were in there. One of them looked up and waved at us. “Alpha! Luna! Quick! The King has announced a press release! The Head of the Council is there too!”My browfurrowedand my mate sighed. “What now?” She murmured
*Yep, Reader Discretion is still advised*“Different?” My browscreased. “Mine is different too?”“Too?”I sighed. “Yes, I meant to tell you last night,but you were passed out by the time I got out of the shower. You were sleeping so peacefully Ididn’twant to wake you. Butyourslooks a lot different.” I sighed and ran my finger over my markon her neck.“It looks like acrescentmoon.”“What, really?” She grabbed her phone and turned on the self-facing camera. “What? I don’t see it... it looks the same to me.” She bit her lip. “Here, look. Tell me yours looks different.”I lookedperplexedat the screen. It
*ReaderDiscretionis still very muchadvised*“So do we have any questions so far?” Samantha asked as she is wiping the blood from her two daggers. After Boni passed out she stopped slashing Kimmie and left her to cry.“Yes Alpha!” One of the youngalphasasked as she raised her hand. “Is this the best way to gather information? Aren’t you worried that any information you get from them is a lie?”“The simple answer is ‘no.’” Samantha said with a smile. “This is not the best way to gather information.”Most of the alpha’s kids gasped and someactually startedtaking notes. Even some of the alphas were surprised and listening intently. “However, this is the easiest way to gather information. But like you said any info
*ReaderDiscretionisadvised**Samantha Pov*I tried not to laugh as we walked the line of rogues towards the two stakes. Even more of the rogues were crying. The idiot she wolf kept looking around, andmore and moreof the pack members here call out in disbelief and hatred. “Take most of them to the dungeons, these twostaywith me.” I order as my adopted father andbrother in lawwalk over. “Get the hose out, they stink of piss.” Ismirkagain as my guards grab them in the usual way.Let’ssee, about 10 rogues, all male...mid-twentiesto late thirties...yeah.I’mgoing to be busy fora while. Hmm...maybe AlphaEric and Chris would like some time with them...A giant mud ball is thrown behind me and I tried andfailed to&
*Samantha POV*I’mgoing to fucking kill him. Behind me on my left is Ben, he is nervous and worried; I can tell. He is nervous and I am pissed. We are running through the woods, as soon as we got that mind link, we ran to the bunker. The bars I helped install last week were sawed clean through, the attack on Black Hill was just a distraction!And I am going to kill him. I am going to skin that bastard alive and make a trampoline from his hide! I am going to rip off his leg and kick his ass with it. I am going to hang him up by his other leg and let the pups use him as batting practice.I’mgoing to rip every one of his teeth out of his jaw andI’mgonna....I’mgonna.....<Grind them up and make him drink them with a straw.> Ben linked me.<Yes. Exactly.> I agreed before I growled.
“See. I told you so.” Helios smiled as he hugged his mate close. They looked up as more souls tried to join their haven on the moon.“Yes. You did.” She smiled as she only waved her hand and most of the incoming souls... the ones who committed unforgivable horrors in their life was repelled back.As Helios raised his hand towardsthem,they flew away, towards the giant chariot that his brother was driving. Apollo laughed as he lassoed them and snapped his whip. Soon they joined the multitude of otherdamned souls, they would be forced to run and pull for eternity. Never resting, never slowing down, and never again knowing happiness. A fitting punishment.“Things down there should change soon.” Helios smiled again as his brother waved at him.“Yes, some of my children have gone so far astray that t
