KadeI almost choked on my saliva when Sabine mentioned my Luna. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose… My Luna…How could I explain to Sabine without sounding hyprocrite that I was actually planning to reject my mate? I never thought that I would be that guy who spends his entire life looking for “Her” my fated mate, just to find her and reject her, but truth to be told is that I like Sabine. Maybe I say that because I am hurt that my fated mate didn’t want us, that after finding out about our existence she still didn’t come forward to claim us or maybe just maybe what Kieran whispered in my ear for the last couple of weeks was true. I am in love with Sabine.I didn’t want this to happen. The Goddess knows that I never let myself feel anything for any woman before. I thought that I was saving myself for my mate but somehow Sabine managed to crush the walls around my heart making herself comfortable without even realizing or trying.“Hey”.. I said moving towards the table where Sa
CameronI was ten years old when I found out accidentally that I had a brother. I remember going to my dad’s office ignoring the omegas who wanted me to change my school clothes first. It didn’t matter what I was wearing because I knew I was going to be scolded for my poor performance. I didn’t understand why I had to study so much. I was my father's son, I was going to be the next alpha. What was the point of learning all that history and math nonsense when I was going to lead the pack?“I can’t believe you sneaked away and went to see HIM” dad's spat angrily, making my hand hang in the air.“Honey…I…” I heard my mom’s sweet voice saying.“Anna, you don’t get it do you? What do you think was going to happen if those guards managed to catch you? Do you think Marie would have been reasonable?” Dad slammed the edge of the desk making me jump. “I had to go”…mom whispered softly.“That’s not true and we both know it. You didn’t have to go. You almost got yourself killed and for what? T
SabineI didn’t need to hear anything else to know what Kade was going to say. He was not going to step down from his role and he shouldn’t be doing it. My heart ached thinking about my parents. Without Kade's support how was supposed to find them and avenge them?Earlier in the cottage, hearing Kade’s words, I let myself dream for a moment. I saw myself having a future with him, growing old with him by my side, but now hearing Kade and his dad, I realized that it was impossible so I did what I always do. Run. I ran as fast as I could without a destination or a plan. I ran despite Inna’s pleas to turn back. I couldn’t just do that, I couldn’t stand by Kade and listen to his father. I hated that guy as much as I hated the ones that robbed my life with my parents. I ran despite the flimsy wedding dress I was wearing and the cold wind that brushed my skin. I simply ran.“Sabine” I heard someone calling my name but I didn’t want to stop, I couldn't stop. I needed to get as far as poss
KadeI clenched my fists while Dad continued ranting about how I ended up being such a disappointment for him, how I never learned anything from his experience and let my heart dictate.If he only knew how close and yet far away from the truth he was. My life was, is and will be nothing like his. I will make sure of that.I rubbed my temples trying to push away the headache that threatened to take over when Kieran’s anxiety hit through the bond. Before I got the chance to ask him what was going on a loud growl filled the air making the ground shaking under my feet.“Cameron” me and Kieran said simultaneously and I started running towards the direction I saw him heading last time.“Where are you going?” Dad yelled behind me but I didn’t have time to explain. Something was wrong and I needed to get to Cameron. As I entered the woods, I removed my clothes quickly getting ready to shift.My heart started hammering in my chest and I took deep breaths trying to calm myself down and focus
KadeI have been pacing back and forth checking the wall clock hoping that doctor Smith would come out soon from the examination room and clarify what happened to Cameron. He was an alpha werewolf after all he should have been fine by now. It felt like time stuck letting me deal with all my worries.During the way back home Cameron came back to his senses a couple of times, just to pass out again. Just like the first time when he woke up Cameron blabbered about how he wasn’t able to protect “her”. It almost drove me insane how he passed out before I could have a chance to ask who was “she” that he was talking about.“Alpha” Stefan's voice rang behind me, making me snap my head towards him.“Stefan, what’s happening?” I asked, showing my fists into my pockets.“Alpha, the border patrol found this..” he said, handing me a brown paper bag.“What's this?” I asked, before taking the bag from his hands and looking inside. My eyes went wide open seeing Sabine's wedding dress or better said w
KadeI growled while I stepped inside the pack house where all the omegas were happily chit chatting in the hallway.”Find Jonah and his family and bring them to my office,” I spat at one of the warriors who was standing still by the staircase. “Yes, Alpha” he replied quickly while I climbed the stairs two at the time.While I burst into my office, the door flew open, removing it from the hinges making me curse under my breath.”Fuck.” I moved slowly towards the office desk, feeling the anger running through my veins. I swallowed multiple times trying to calm myself down but it didn’t help. It made it worse. Before I could realize what I was doing I was already grabbing the edge of the desk flipping it over, everything on it was flying all over the floor. Like that wasn’t enough I took one of the chairs and hit it hard to the floor shattering to pieces. I was determined to destroy everything that came in my way, I couldn’t think anymore. I was furious. I was angry at everyone; myself
SabineA growl leaves my mouth as I try to adjust my eyes to the surrounding darkness. Trying to warm up, I pull my knees close to my chest. I could feel the tears pricking my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. I am better than this. I close my eyes one more time and let my mind wonder. How I wished Kade stayed by my side in the cottage he built for me and had at least one night together to remember. If I were to never see him again, at least I would have had the memories of being his. Despite the ache I was feeling, I forced myself to stand up from the cold floor and start pacing back and forth in the small cage HE put me in. I needed to come up with a plan. I didn’t know where he kept me or what his intentions were regarding me, but I knew I couldn’t wait for anyone to come to my rescue. My mind couldn’t help wondering if Kade was looking for me. A part of me was afraid that Kade took advantage of my disappearance and got the annulment of our marriage, while the other part of
KadeThe first ray of light found me on the path I discovered her last time. I closed my eyes trying to calm down my aching heart. Who on Earth took you away from me? It’s been a month since Sabine disappeared. Despite his full recovery, Cameron couldn’t remember how he lost consciousness which left me without any clue. Jonah had sent his most trusted people to the packs boarded mine, while my men and I scavenged the woods. With each passing day, Kieran became agitated and nervous and though I was his other half I couldn’t find a way to calm him down.“The caves” Kieran said suddenly and I looked towards the mountains. “What about the caves?” I asked him not realizing what he meant.“We never sent people to search the caves” Kieran’s short reply made me stop in my tracks. He was right. I never considered the caves, because of the heavy snow and the steep paths, but somehow it made sense now. “Meet me in my office in fifteen” I mind-linked Alex and Stefan. “ One of you bring Jona
Happiness… When I was just a child I wondered many times what exactly happiness was. Everyone around me struggled to find it out despite their constant efforts. Not only did I question its existence, but I was sure it wasn’t something I was going to be blessed with. I blamed myself for ruining my parents’ chance of happiness. Because of me, they spent their lives separate seeking a reason to live. Only when Sabine appeared in my life, I begin to hope I would find happiness. A smile spread across my face as I looked at the beautiful woman lying next to me with her chestnut long spread across my pillow. Her chest rose and fell as I continued to enjoy the peaceful moment. Twelve years had passed since the Goddess brought Sabine into my life and not a day passed without me being grateful. Even when I was in the coma, I knew I had to find my way back to her, as she was the light of my darkness. “I love you,” my own goddess whispered while she turned over to face me. “I love y
SabineMy heart hammered in my chest as the fear took over. I couldn’t believe I was about to lose everything, my home, my mate, the father of my unborn child. I struggled with the decision of announcing everyone I was carrying the alpha’s unborn son, but somehow I wanted the people who had been my family for the past year to choose me as their Luna for my skills, not because they were taking pity on me... After a moment of reflection, I decided to let the people vote, speak their minds. If they wanted me as their Luna, they would say so through their votes. Deep inside, I understood why my father decided to follow the laws. A pack needed a strong Luna, one who could fight their battles and carry on with his legacy.The fear I was going to be cast aside took over me and for the first time I wondered what I was going to do alone, how I was supposed to make amends for me and for my child I was carrying. One thing was certain: I wasn’t letting Kade step down from his role. A ragged breat
Kade “Someone find Cameron,” I barked as Zeke, my new Beta, gave me a small nod before he stepped away to carry my orders. I liked that about him. He was a man of few words, but he was strong. When I chose him to become my second in command, there was no better person to fill the list of skills I had in mind. Zeke was a good man and got along with both my people and the gypsies. While I turned my head towards the fight, I was unable to focus. I could see the hate in Octavia’s eyes and despite my encouragement’s words, Sabine seemed to give up. I knew how much Seth and Cameron meant to her, but I could only hope none of Octavia’s affirmations were true. Anger boiled into my veins while I saw Octavia’s wolf jumping on my mate. Once again I brushed my hair with my fingers, cursing under my breath my inability to stop the fight. “I am not a werewolf. Your laws don’t apply to me,” Cordelia’s words surprised me as she stabbed Octavia’s wolf with the silver ceremonial dagger. “Any news
SabineAs the words left my lips, people who surrounded us began chanting my name. The obvious hate in their eyes towards Octavia fueled my rage, giving me strength. I had to win this fight for all of us. Octavia was the one responsible for the fire that destroyed many lives. A lot of good people had died because of her hate and yet if it wasn’t for her reckless actions, I would have never met my parents. My mother would have continued to be King’s Philip's prisoner while my father struggled in the mines.“Sabine, you can’t fight her. There has to be another way,” Sasha mumbled, interrupting the line of my thoughts. “We both know fighting her is the only way.” I choked out the words straightening my back. “I can’t allow Kade to step down and just give her our pack. It’s his birthright,” I added clenching my fists. “But you..”“If I can have your attention.” King Darius voiced out interrupting her. “As werewolves we live, develop and grow together as a community, a family. We have la
Sabine “There is nothing to be afraid of. You were born for this. It’s your destiny,” my mother whispered low as she gave a light squeeze to my hand. I gave her a small nod while I took a deep breath in my efforts to calm down my racing heart.I straightened my back, pushing my chin high as I turned my head towards my father, signaling to him I was ready for him to open the door. The omegas began to bow their heads in respect while I walked holding my mom’s hand slowly down the decorated path. Everything was perfect. Wooden pillars stood proudly on each side of the alley decorated with green garlands and fairy lights, offering the place a magical vibe. Time seemed to stop for a moment while my eyes found the black ones of the person the Goddess decided to pair me with. My heart skipped a beat as I saw him dressed in a tailored gray suit with a silver button-down shirt that matched my dress, standing on the small stage, waiting…waiting for me. “Friends and family, I would like to sa
I quietly looked at the young women in the mirror, barely able to recognize myself. A confident, strong woman who not long ago was just a naive gipsy girl who had her long chestnut hair braided into a ponytail was now staring back at me.While a happiness sparkle danced in my green eyes, a smile spread across my face, making Sasha growled in annoyance.“Stop moving or I will never be able to finish in time.”I gave her a small nod as I watched her finish her magic. Sasha applied a cherry lipstick to my lips to match the purple eye makeup she chose for tonight’s event.“Sabine, you look beautiful,” mom whispered as she fought back the tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks. “Alma, you are going to ruin your makeup,” Sasha blurted out, making mom shake her head in understanding.I looked at the woman who raised me like I was hers, giving me all the love and affection a mother would give to her child. She looked beautiful with her hair styled into a bun and dressed in a dark blue
SabineThe beautiful view in front of my eyes was nothing in comparison to the sight of my husband. Strong, confident, not to mention handsome. Kade was all mine, and I couldn’t be more grateful. For the first time in my life, I was happy and scared. Petrified, I could say that something might happen and our perfect bubble would burst, returning me to the shell of the person I was while he was asleep.Butterflies danced in my stomach as Kade’s lips covered mine, taking his sweet time. My fingers grabbed the bottom of his sweater pulling him closer, needing him. Was it bad that I wanted the moment to last forever? A moan escaped my lips as Kade deepened his kiss, sending goosebumps down my spine. Every time he kissed me, it was like we kissed for the first time. It consumed me in ways I couldn’t describe.I felt Inna pushing to come forward. Just like me, she wanted time with our mate. I muffled the sob that almost escaped my mouth as Kade broke our kiss, returning to look over the h
KadeMoments later, I was sitting in the office looking at the dusty old photo with me and Alex smiling happily while we set up the first beam of this place. It was our first thing to call our own, and we worked together to put it on the tourism map. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, unable to believe he was gone.“Alpha,. Julie told us you wanted to see us,” someone called out as the door opened wide. A curse word left my mouth as I placed down the frame turning towards the door. For me, for Alex, I had to keep fighting for our dreams. Victor entered first, followed closely by Julie, and two young men dressed in nothing but black jeans and blue shirts that had the lodge logo. Behind them, an elderly woman entered, making my heart skip a beat. Years had passed since I saw her, but she still looked good. Miss Abby was for me and Alex like a second mother, scolding us every time we used to stop to check on the lodge.“Didn’t I tell you to call all the people who work here
KadeAs I turned left and exited the main road, the snow continued to fall heavily, making it difficult for me to see. I swallowed the curse words that threatened to leave my lips as I tried to keep the car on the road. Maybe I should have waited for the snow to slow down.“Kade, where are we going?” Sabine asked me, shifting worriedly in her seat.“Patience, Sweetheart” I replied casually, trying to act like it wasn’t a big deal. “It’s a surprise.” I added, unable to hold back the grin that spread across my face imagining the moment I would have her finally alone. As I hit the accelerator pedal, I reached out to Sabine’s hand, entangling our fingers. I took it to my lips and planted a small kiss on her knuckles while I kept my eyes on the road. “We’re almost there,” I mused seeing her cheeks colored in a crimson color.Ever since I woke up from my coma, I had this thought nudging me to take her away from the curious eyes. I knew the Goddess had a plan when she made Sabine my other h
