New Year's came and went, and my mate seemed to be in overdrive, working all hours of the day and night. When I asked her why she giggled and smiled, saying that she was just trying to get ahead of schedule. That Friday I woke up before I normally do, and she was already gone. I glanced around before I found a note on the table.
Hey Sweetie, Vi and the others said they were kidnapping me. Haha. They promised that I’ll be back before lunch. Love you!
I smiled, I wonder what they have going on today. Going down to breakfast I see Jake leaving his room too, yawning. “Hey!” He called out, “I heard training was canceled all day today. Daren is off grounds with our mates and Greg for some reason and Jess isn’t up to leading the classes.”
“So, all of them are really gone? That’s strange.” I furrowed my brow.
“Yeah, they left Jess
“Answer him!” Daren demanded. “Where have you been?”“We just went into town.” Jake said. “We hit traffic on the way back.”Daren snorted as he clinched his fists.“Where in town?” Greg stated again, calmly.“That new sporting goods store, to lunch and we caught a movie....” I muttered, feeling for my mate through my radar. She wasn’t here. Neither was Violet. “Where is Samantha?”Daren snorted again, I could see the anger in his eyes as he stood up and walked right up to me.“Daren sit down.” Greg commanded in his Gamma tone. “If you hit him she will feel it.”He growled again backing away from me and sitting on the couch again. “Just wait though...” He raised a finger. “Tomorrow you will feel it.”
Monday morning I woke up, I maybe got a couple of hours rest this time. Though I kept waking up and going into our closet to let her scent surround me. Her scent in our room was already starting to dissipate, making me frantic. Now I started to understand why she would rub my old pillows on me every week. Speaking of which... I went ahead and hugged them for a bit. Just in case.Frowning I looked around the room, the omegas still came in and did the light cleaning they always do but the clothes she strewn about were still scattered over the floor. Slowly I went through and folded and hung them back up. She shouldn’t come back and see the mess still here.I wonder what time they are coming home? What will even happen? Should I throw myself at her feet and beg forgiveness? No, that sounds really awful; just apologize and expect her to forgive me? Only a sorry excuse of a man would think that would work. Maybe I should just talk to her? I
The next week was pure hell. Yes, my mate was here physically but not emotionally. I could tell every day she started to get a little worse, the second night she slept in her old room I went in to check on her and found the bottle of tranquillizers. She was using these to sleep every night... but the night before Lily’s ceremony I woke up with awful heartburn. I gasped, I knew what this was. Slowly I opened the door and crept over to the room she has been sleeping in.She isn’t here. Where is she? Another wave of pain ripped through me; damn it. I tried to focus on anything but the pain, to find her in my radar; she isn’t close by. I sighed and got on my training clothes and shoes, it was probably 20 degrees outside, and I grabbed some extra thick clothes for her. Stuffing a pack full I crept out of the house. In the yard the decorations for Lily’s mating ceremony were almost complete and in a few hours my parents would be here.&n
The next morning, I woke up happy; happier than I had been in over a week. My mate was in my arms again. Well, I still had a lot of groveling to do but at least I wasn’t kept at arm’s length anymore. I smiled and hugged my love tightly, I wasn’t going to let her go again.“Let me go.” She growled as she woke up. “I... can’t... breathe!” She breathed deep as I released her, chuckling. “Damn Ben. Trying to kill me already?” She teased as she got up. “Come on, we got a lot to do!”Stretching I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes as Violet burst into our room.“Ben, I can’t find Saman...tha.” She glared at my mate. “I have been looking for you for over an hour. The guards saw you going to the north border, and you didn’t return... I’m going to kill you.”Samantha just giggled. “Why didn&rs
“Do you, Lily Rhodes, swear to protect and defend this pack for as long as you are able, and to serve in capacity as Delta Female?” Violet asked her as the full moon hung in the night sky. We were all gathered around the platform now. But, only my mate, Violet and Daren stood on it with Lily.“Yes Beta.” Lily answered. The pack bond was opened, and a new power was starting to come through.“Then step forward Lily Rhodes,” my mate started. “I, Samantha Serene Silver, Alpha of the SilverFang pack, bestow upon you the title of Delta.” A wave of power ripped through the pack, and I smiled as Lily’s aura became stronger.Me, Chris and Jake stood up and clapped. Soon the whole pack joined us and in the distance some of the guards started to howl in congratulations. Nick was beside me, fighting sleep. Too many people have given him candy and sugar today and he crashed
I kept a silent watch over the two sleeping pups while tracking my love with my radar. I felt when she climbed to the roof and ran the two lovebirds out. I was almost sure I could hear her yelling through the window, but I chuckled and went back to my show. Nick started to talk in his sleep, and I smiled as Penny turned over in the bed. Those two pups were already so close, I daresay best friends already and I could see myself and Samantha in them.Groaning I frowned. I really need to think of a way to fix things with my mate, sighing I sat back on the couch. There has to be something... it might not be as good as her real birthday, but I had to try... wait a second. I remembered something... her doll... she said her doll smelled like me before. Did I give it to her years ago? I gasped as a flash in my mind.“Happy Birthday Samantha!”“Thanks! But...it's not my birthday.”
It was a very long night. She tried to escape again, this time she made it almost to the Gamma floor before I caught her. A couple of omegas looked up curiously earning themselves a jealous growl from me. Finally, I got her to sleep again before I tried to rest myself. I wrapped her in my arms and held her tightly. Every time she moved, I shot awake, ready to chase her out of the room again. But she would just mumble and fall back asleep.Around 6 in the morning I felt her start to shiver, and I ran my hand against her forehead. Her fever was gone. Finally, I sighed in relief and pulled her closer to me and finally relaxed, excited about my plans. All I had to do was get it ready...~~~The next week and a half went by so fast! I was nearly bursting from excitement! Once Daren got back, he helped me finish up the last entries in my book and today Violet took her into town to handle some business so I could finish up the room and get r
“Where are we going?” She asks for the hundredth time. I chuckle as she is nearly jumping up and down in the passenger seat beside me. Behind us are a good number of guards, Violet insisted. She even took the liberty to book out the resort! But... I think there is something she isn’t tell me.The happiness in our bond is brimming and as we pull up to the jet she is laughing happily. “Where are we going??? Tell me!!!” She beams atme,and I just shake my head.“Right now, we are going on the jet.” I laugh as I grab our bags from the trunk before Frank runs over and takes them. I felt guilty taking him away from his mate and his newborn daughter, but he insisted, his mate nearly threw him out saying that if he didn’t go then someone else would and he would lose his position.I glanced over as Holly talked to the pilot and copilot. The w
*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
