Chapter 67Little giggles bring me out of my sleep and I smile as I listen to Lunette and Henry giggle by the bedroom door. I can smell the scent of raspberry jam on toast and have a feeling the two pups brought me breakfast.“Be quiet you two. You’re going to wake her.” Chase chimes in quietly, most likely trying to get his siblings under control.“I am already awake.” I call out, shuffling in bed to sit up. Henry and Lunette look at me with slight pouts and I spread my arms open wide as I give them a smile. The two pups rushing to the bed, climbing in quickly to hug me with one on either side. Chase shakes his head, coming forward with the tray filled with breakfast. He seems calmer, like the power in his blood is considerably under control from the last time I saw him.“How did you sleep?” He asks, motioning for his siblings to give me some space as he sets the tray across my lap.“Better than I thought I would.” I admit, taking the mug of tea and sipping on the hot liquid. While I

Chapter 68The urge to kick down the door is strong as I had scented Brynlee just inside. I knew she was watching me talking to Chase. Knew she knew I was here to check on her, but she still allowed that little shit of a cousin I have to slam the door in my face. I know I deserve it, deserve the cold shoulder from Chase and his siblings, but it still stings when they are my only family here. Letting out a sigh, I rub my hand across my face while reluctantly leaving the porch.Quincy had sent me a text last night telling me to be at the pack house by ten in the morning to meet the Warrior I will be shadowing. I thought this would be a good opportunity to see Brynlee and ask how she is doing so I woke up earlier than I needed to and made my way down to my Aunt’s house. I was not prepared for my cousin to stop me as soon as I opened the front door. Never would have expected the fifteen-year-old to have so much power pre-shift. I could try to barge inside, demand to see Brynlee, but that

Chapter 69Watching the pack gather around the pack house, I can’t help but be impressed by how well the bonfire turned out. Gale and Jett had done a good job organizing it while Asteria was away at Onix Moon and I was indisposed. Since the small party started, I have been approached by many pack mates welcoming me back home, telling me to take it easy and just focus on healing. Thankfully, no one has asked what I have been through, deciding that it is a taboo subject. For that, I am grateful. I don’t think I can handle recounting my abduction and the final moment with Alpha Valor before I was rescued.“He keeps staring at you.” Quincy mutters under his breath as a she-wolf named Clair explains that they have started building our own decoy town just outside the pack borders. I turn to where the heated gaze I have felt for a while is and find Rune staring at me. I try to focus on Clair as she goes on and on about a fashion boutique she plans to open but have a hard time when his eyes f

Chapter 70Standing with Ricky and his friends at the bonfire close to the pack house, my eyes continue to scan the clearing while keeping an eye on Brynlee. So many times I have had to fight my instinct of marching up to her and holding her in my arms. The only thing stopping me was knowing that Brynlee needed her pack after what she went through. Right now, she is lounging by one of the four bonfires, a stick in hand as she roasts marshmallows.“Why don’t you go see her?” Ricky asks, playfully bumping my shoulder with his.“Because she needs space.” I answer. Then it happens. Brynlee turns towards me, her gaze meeting mine. She smiles at me, the same smile she used to give me that would always draw me in mysteriously when we pups.I can’t help but look away, feeling my face heat up as I try not to think of how that smile makes me want to capture my Mate and repeat the night of her eighteenth birthday – this time ending it with me marking her. The Mate Bond hums, reaching out to mend

Chapter 71“What do you mean it wasn’t a spur of the moment thing?” I demand, feeling fear creep in. I find myself clinging closer to Rune and thankfully, he doesn’t push me away. Instead, he pulls me closer, his hand leaving my hair and rubbing my back in soothing circles.“What Asteria means is that her and Tristan found emails between Valor and Viren.” Gale answers, giving me a sad smile. It takes a moment for his words to register but when they do, I realize that Valor planed a scheme against me once again.“Valor knew that Viren was looking for a Luna, be that his Goddess given Mate or someone he chose. He used this as an advantage and told Viren about you. How he had Rune reject you and that you needed a Mate.” Asteria takes over explaining, her eyes growing hard as hatred seeps from her.“He already knew about you before coming to Crescent Phoenix. He was just shocked that you were the Beta of the pack as he thought he would have to find you.” She continues, growling at the end

Chapter 72Sitting in my office, I go over the emails that I asked Asteria to forward to me. After the meeting learning about the real reason behind my parents’ deaths and how ruthless Valor is, I pulled away from Rune, needing some quiet time. The bonfire is still going strong, but I no longer feel like celebrating.It was just over a year ago now that I became an orphan. I thought my parents were doing their job protecting Valor and Rune – their Alpha and Alpha Heir. Now knowing that it was a scheme created by Valor to get me out of the way caused me to wonder just what else did I miss seeing growing up in Pine Moon.Luna Clairice was an amazing Luna, always striving for the good of the pack and I always wanted to be just like her. She was close to my mother and Asteria but never joined us for vacations. Now knowing that Valor kept her under lock and key makes me wonder if this was the fate Rune would have had if he hadn’t left.“Brynlee?” My office door opens and Quincy pokes his h

Chapter 73Making my way out of my room, I lock the door before picking up my duffle bag and heading down the hall towards the elevator. I think back to the conversation I had with my niece last night, a smile spreading across my face.Milan, the eldest of the remaining Harvest Willow wolves had thankfully picked up the phone when I called using Asteria’s office phone after the dial tone went on for what felt like an eternity. She was shocked to hear from me, news of Tanya and Valor reaching them already and worried that I had been killed by the tyrant and his whore. Her surprise turned into disbelief when I told her I am in Crescent Phoenix and that Asteria is the Alpha.She didn’t believe me at first as I tried convincing the twenty-six year old that Asteria no longer lived in Pine Moon and mentioned how she left due to Valor’s treatment of Brynlee. When that was mentioned, Milan finally relented and listened to me.When Asteria finally joined me in her office thirty minutes later,

Chapter 74“You sure you want to live on your own again?” Asteria asks as we stand in front of my cottage. It has been five days since the bonfire, six since my bedrest started, and I can tell that Asteria worries about me being on my own since my kidnapping occurred in front of this verry door.“I am sure. Tomorrow I hopefully get a clean bill of health from Jasmin and from there I can resume training with the others.” I answer, taking a deep breath. Asteria sighs but doesn’t argue back. For the last six days I have stayed in her house with her family, either using their home office for my own needs or watching movies with the three pups. As much as I loved them, I am beginning to miss having my own space.“I am not used to living with other people and all of my belongings are here.” I admit sheepishly, getting an understanding look from Asteria. Without further hesitation, I push the door to my cottage and step inside. It has been kept clean by Gale and Chase, the two coming to dust

Suppressing the snarl rising inside me, I glare at the incompetent Omega that has just spilled my soup. She mumbles out apologies after apologies to me as she quickly moves to clean the spill with the paper towel on my table and kneels beside the chair I am sitting on.“Guards!” I call out, my words ending in the snarl that escapes my lips.“Have this stupid bitch punished for ruining my meal. I am carrying the future Alpha of this Pack and this Omega can’t even feed me properly.” I continue. The Dining Hall goes quiet at this, all eyes on me as two men step forward and drag the Omega away. She is kicking and sobbing, begging for forgiveness while two others step forward, bow to me, and continue cleaning the mess before disappearing. My stomach growls in hunger and I snarl in frustration. How dare these idiots keep me from eating!“My love, what has you so upset?” Looking up from the table, I find Valor making his way to me. His greying black hair slicked back and his eyes focused onl

Watching the bus pull in front of the Pack House flanked by our Warriors, I groan as Quincy fidgets beside me. Ever since lunch, he has been on edge, even having to end his patrol early because he could not focus and nearly fell into a ditch. Had someone not been there to stop him in his tracks, Quincy would have been seriously injured. His attitude has me believing that Rune is right and that maybe Quincy has been given a Second Chance Mate.The bus doors open and Gale is the first to step out. He makes a beeline for Asteria who stands to the side, scooping her into his arms and smiling. It’s been just over a week since he set out with Jett and the others to get the Willow Bark wolves, they must have missed each other.Jett is the next to step out of the bus, helping the others off one by one and telling them to stand just to the right so that we can get them all settled. I knew Jett said that the majority of the refugees had been pups, but I did not expect to see so many between the

Watching the scenery pass by, I listen to the pups behind me excitedly chat about our soon-to-be new Pack and what type of wolves we will be meeting. Gale and my Uncle have told us a lot about Crescent Phoenix and the one thing that has caught my attention is the Beta, Brynlee. She is the youngest Beta so far in the werewolf world. She is also the Goddess-given Mate of my enemy’s son.“We should be there within the hour.” A voice calls out from behind me, making me jump in my seat. Turning away from the window and the endless forest view, I find Ashton taking a seat beside me, his easygoing smile I have gotten used to making me roll my eyes. Even though we aren’t Mates, that hasn’t stopped this wolf from flirting with me, much to my Uncle’s warnings.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” He apologizes.“It’s fine. I am just lost in thought.” I reply, letting out a sigh.“Something has me on edge and I can’t put my finger on it.” I admit, getting a hum from Ashton.“Could it be you are

Sitting in my office, hand on my stomach, I read the reports sent to Asteria and me from the Council early this morning for the third time and sigh. The investigation into Jonnah, Valor, and Tanya has taken a turn that surprises even me and I am not sure how I feel about it. Tanya is indeed pregnant and that the father of Tanya’s child is indeed Valor but that’s not the worst of the news. The worst part is about how Jonnah is on his fifth Mate after killing his fourth – the she-wolf that rejected Quincy.Gale had called stating he couldn’t get a hold of Asteria and wanted to let me know they were a few hours away from the Pack. That’s when I mentioned the email and news of Jonnah Cross being on his fifth Mate. He was pissed, to say the least, but gave me the good news that the Willow Bark Wolves have decided to talk with our Council Representative to help put the nail in our enemies' coffins quickly.This made the weight from the news weighing me down lighten up and after hanging up,

Sitting in the hospital room with Rune holding my hand, I nervously fidget with his fingers. Right now, we are waiting for Jasmin to finish with a patient so we can do an Ultrasound and find out how far along I am with my pregnancy. Rune silently watches me, concern in his eyes as he pulls his hand out of mine and pulls me closer to his side.“Everything is going to be fine Brynlee.” Rune reassures me, giving me a gentle smile.“So just relax and take a deep breath.” Closing my eyes, I do what he says and take a deep breath, breathing in his scent and feeling my nerves settle slightly. Over the last three days, Rune and I have grown closer as we worked side by side in preparing the pack for more construction.He would come to my office after his morning duties as a Warrior and after lunch, we would go over the map of Crescent Phoenix land and work on finding the perfect locations for new homes and dormitories for our constantly growing pack. Once we found the perfect locations, Rune w

Waiving at Brynlee as she drives away, I head into the Pack House in search of the Library she mentioned. I had not explored the Pack House being too busy with training and learning the patrol routes, so I felt lost inside this large building.“Can I help you, hun?” Turning to the sound of a friendly voice, I find a woman with soft blue-green eyes and strawberry blonde hair tied into a braid down her back in hopes of keeping the mess of curls tamed. She carries a stack of books in her arms as she watches me with a curious glance.“Yes actually.” I answer feeling relieved.“I am looking for the pack library and the woman who runs it, Alayne.” I continue explaining, watching a smirk spread across this she-wolf’s face.“Well, I can help you with both.” She responds, shifting the books so that they rest in her left arm while holding out her right hand.“Alayne Arctic at your service.” Shocked to find this unassuming she-wolf being the woman I am looking for, I shake her hand and realize th

Looking at the empty field that will be perfect for building new houses for new families and Mates looking to transition out of the dormitories and into their own homes, I sneak a peak at Rune as he leans against the front of my truck, a sketchbook in his hands. Right now, Rune is working on a basic sketch for three houses that will be built here come spring in hopes of having them ready for winter next year.“I never knew you could draw.” I muse, watching him jump in surprise before a blush of embarrassment creeps along his cheeks. After lunch, he and I had taken my truck out to drive around the territory, making note of the new land we received from Onix Moon a few weeks ago and finding a few good spots along the stretch of land where we could begin building more dorm buildings and houses families and newly mated pairs could move into. This is how we found ourselves relaxing in the warm fall sun when Rune brought a sketchbook out of the backpack he brought along on our ride.“To be

Glaring at the email before me, I suppress the growl threatening to spill. Our council representative has been hard at work investigating Valor, Tanya, and Jonnah to the point they have begun questioning the destruction of smaller Packs surrounding Blood Claws and Pine Moon. What is worse is that other than Willow Bark, no other survivors have been found from any of these smaller Packs that were destroyed. For all the Council knows, they have either become Rogues hiding deep in the forests in wolf territory or blending with Humans in the many cities.One thing is for sure, Jonnah and Valor have committed more crimes than we originally thought.Reading further along the email, my eyes widen and my hand instinctively reaches for my stomach. Judging by the images attached to the email and the medical report the Council’s spies were able to obtain, it seems that I am not the only one expecting a pup. Now the question is, whose is it?“Brynlee, are you in here?” The door to my office opens
The Howling Heart's Forgiveness Chapter 86
Watching Brynlee drive away, I wait for her truck to disappear from my view before deciding to head to my dorm room for the night and get some much-needed rest. Today has been an eventful day that has left me reeling with exhaustion. I had just finished patrol when a sudden urge of danger coursed through me. At first, I thought the warning was because Rogues had crossed our borders into the pack territory, threatening the pack. When I realized it was an internal warning from the Mate Bond, my wolf instincts took over and I rushed directly towards the danger warning without thinking. All I could think of was protecting Brynlee.’I knew I was being irrational when I barged into the training facility without warning. I knew how much of a prick I was when I swept Brynlee into my arms and carried her away from everyone without her consent, but my body kept moving on its own. I felt like a man possessed but until I knew Brynlee was safe in her den – in her cottage – I couldn’t relax.As soon
