Penny fell to the ground screaming in pain, she was clutching her stomach and she curled up into a tight ball. The other pups started to surround her worriedly. Samantha hurried over and maneuvered a few pups out of the way. “Come on, pups give her room.”
<Ben! Did you feel that?> Violet mind linked me. <Is Samantha close by you?>
<She’s here. It’s Penny.> I linked back, <we are in the yard.>
“Hey pups! Who wants ice cream?” Samantha smiled. Most of the pups looked at Penny worriedly but the older ones grabbed the little ones and they all started to walk away towards the kitchen. Nick grabbed one of my hands and hid behind me.
“Ben, is she going to be alright?” He asked as he looked on worriedly.
I smiled down at him as I saw Greg’s red wolf come running across the yard. “Yes Nick, she will be fin
It turns out that getting Disney+ was the best thing we could have done. After watching the second live-action remake we noticed Nick was asleep on the floor where he was camped out with his pillow and blanket. I reached over and turned off the light and nuzzled into my mate’s neck while we were cuddled on the couch.She leaned into me as I started peppering her neck with kisses. I chuckled as she flinched back slightly, it was probably tickling her. I smiled as I got to that special spot where hopefully I would soon place my mark. I started giving that place a little more attention. When she started to arch her back I knew I was starting to tread on dangerous ground. She brought her hand up and ran her fingers through my hair. “Ben.....” She whispered. Ahhh fuck!I slowly stopped. It wouldn’t do either of us any good to keep going, and my pants were starting to get tight. She growled softly, and settled back down. &l
Kneeling on the floor with my brother behind me I held the stone lovingly. So, this is proof I was here! Right here! Solid, undeniable proof! But when? The more I looked at the small rock in my hand the more it started to come back...and just like that I was transported back to my past...to when I was barely 5 years old...~~~~~~~~~~~“Mom! Chris is hitting me!” Jake shouted, I was happy I was in the chair with Lily’s car seat this time; she looked up at me and giggled. She was only two years old, but she was already loud. I held my Iron Man toy close; I was so happy to finally get the newest one. I played with his arms and his light on his chest until my Mom’s SUV came to a stop.I looked out of the window, there were kids running around and having fun. Balloons were put out and we were celebrating a boy named Sam. My dad said he was the oldest child of this pack’s alpha, so this was a big
I couldn’t do anything but growl... “Where is she???” I growled out. I wanted her, I needed her. I could feel her fear and helplessness, I need to get to her. Protect her. She’s mine.The female to my side slowly backed away. “Jake,” she whispered. “Back up.”The male who was trying to hold me back looked confused. “What’s going on?” He asked.The female looked at me as the male stood in front of her. “Benjamin. Calm down. She is fine.”Benjamin? Who was that?! I growled, was she trying to keep me from my mate?! I sized up the other male...I could take him. I growled again. He could be a danger to my mate, but I need to find her. This male could wait until later....I started to back up down the hall, warning them to stay away. She was calling me now, whimpering in my mind. An older male ran into the ha
“Do you two realize the shit you have put me and everyone else through?!” Violet raged as she pulled the covers back. “And where the hell have you two been?” She picked some twigs and leaves out of Samantha’s hair. “You know what, I don’t even....”Jake glanced at me cautiously and inched himself closer to Violet. “Do you remember last night?” I carefully pulled Samantha closer to me. I just noticed she was still in the hospital gown, and I pulled the covers back over her.“No, not really...” I started.“We woke up in the woods.” Samantha said.Violet sighed and sat on the couch. Jake glared at the both of us as he sat down also. “You really don’t remember?” She asked. “Anything?”I sat up, carefully. I was sore too. “Well, I remember you took me to the hospital
“Oh! Can we go?” Nick asked, his eyes hopeful. I sighed inwardly, does this kid know what a date is? Samantha stopped and thought it over. “Nick, I’ll tell you what, if it is okay with Greg and Jess for Penny to go then you can both come with us. If she can’t, then you stay here, does that sound good?” Penny and Nick’s faces lit up and they both ran out of the room, laughing and talking away. I sighed inwardly but maybe, just maybe...they will say no? Please Moon Goddess!!!! After I left the bathroom feeling clean, the pups still weren’t back. I smiled, maybe they changed their mind! Hopes were dashed as they came crashing back into the room, cheering happily. Penny gave Samantha a note and another scrap of paper. I looked over it and pouted. It looked like a homemade voucher. “Daddy said to give you this!” She laughed. “Wow this is almost as old as you are Penny! I had forgotten about it!” S
We got downstairs and there were 4 town cars waiting for us. Violet and Jake were talking to two of the elites, but I didn’t know their names. One of them must be Bill, but I wasn’t sure who the other was, they were both tall men, probably in their late twenties or early thirties. Jake did not look exactly happy while talking to them, but he kept his cool. I couldn’t help but notice he was standing very close to Violet and had his arm wrapped around her tightly. “I’m going to make sure the guards know what Nick looks and smells like, want to wait for me at the lead car?” I sighed and nodded, I looked over and Holly was talking to a tall man who had his back to me. This must be Frank. I walked over and smiled. “Hey Holly. Thanks for coming out on short notice.” She nodded, her long black hair was pulled back in a braid and she studied me with her grey eyes. “Not a problem, Benjamin, sir. Anytime.” She motioned to th
We pulled up to the arcade, they also had a mini golf course and a batting cage. The pups cheered and ran inside dragging two of the guards with them. Samantha laughed and handed another guard some cash. “Let them run themselves out and met us back in a couple of hours.” The guard nodded and left with most of the other guards. Only Holly, Frank, Bill and the other guard, Eli stayed with us. <I don’t sense any wolves nearby, Alpha.> Holly linked us. Samantha nodded. “So, what ya’ll want to do?” Samantha asked. “Let’s hit the batting cage.” Jake pointed as he wrapped his arm around Violet. He was going to show off for her. I smirked and pulled my mate closer. Maybe I could as well. We paid for a bunch of rounds so the guards could hit too if they wanted, Jake went first and afterwards he showed Violet how to correctly handle the bat. Violet was pretty good but that was to be expected, Sam
We got back home quickly, after we dropped off a sleeping Penny to her parents I carried a sleeping Nicholas to his room. Setting his bags down in his room I wake him enough so he could change into his pjs and get himself into bed. I bid him goodnight and closed the door. I slipped into our room and was slightly taken aback by my mate. I could feel an overwhelming sadness starting to creep into our bond and I noticed she was looking at the calendar app on her phone. I guess she heard me because suddenly she locked her phone and turned to smile at me. Just like that our bond turned calm, relaxed. “Nick go to bed?” “Uh, yeah.” I blink. “What were you looking at?” “Oh. Um, just looking at the date. I can’t believe it's already December.” She smiled again. “And the weather is going to turn really cold and dreary soon, it’s a bit...depressing.” “Yeah, it is, but what-” “Hey
*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
