Kate’s pov I hate not sleeping next to Sierra, I used to better at handling it. She has been gone so much all these months, that I treasured those nights together with her in the weekend. But now she had been with me for an entire month and we hadn’t slept apart. And now we were so close, just a wall separating us, but she couldn’t join me in bed. I shouldn’t complain. I’ve had Sierra with me, while going through everything with Leia. While Asher didn’t have anyone. Well, he had us. But he closed himself off from everyone. I couldn’t sleep anyway. I was too busy thinking about what Asher said. Leia needed to stay here and be on bedrest. He and Leia would be staying here, for the next four months. That meant I wouldn’t get to celebrate my birthday with Leia, one we celebrated together since we were born. In some ways I was closer to Leia than Asher. She was like my soul sister. Well, she was my sister in law now, because I knew Asher would never let her go, especially now that she w
Leia's pov Elder Mildred and Alpha Luke came to my hospital room after I said goodbye to everyone and they had left, and told us the rules. “Unmated wolves are not to touch or kiss. I get that this would be hard for you, so just keep try limit it to inside your room.” Alpha Luke said. “I expect Asher to help with the pack. I thought perhaps you’d like another internship, but this time with me. As much as your father and I differ, the idea of learning from your elders is something we have in common.” Asher happily agreed, this way he would contribute and learn. And he got to fucking leave the bedroom, unlike me. Elder Mildred gave me strict instructions, “you’re only allowed to walk one hour a day. No running or any other strenuous activities. Starting tomorrow you will move into the pack house and I will visit you regularly to monitor your baby's growth. You can shower briefly, but no bathing. No heavy lifting, no sitting in a chair for more than an hour, climbing the stairs as lit
Asher’s pov It was easier for me to be here, than it was for Leia. She couldn’t get out of the bed much and I was gone a lot of the day, learning from Alpha Luke. Grandpa was right, it was a very interesting pack. But I’d rather spent time with Leia right now. But staying here, meant obeying their rules. It also meant, we get the chance to witness and participate in their rituals. Tomorrow was a full moon, so it was the right time for mates to mark each other. But also the best time to do the strengthening ritual for Leia. The Black Lupus pack believed werewolves were at their strongest during a full moon and that they could harness that strength. It made the bond between mates stronger and in this case, it would make the bond between child and mother stronger. It should also give Leia extra strength to carry our little girl. At least, that is what Alpha Luke told me. I was curious what the ritual looked like. Both rituals actually. “Tonight will seem like a party to the unexperi
just wanted to let you all know that I did get covid. so might be few days until I'll publish a chapter. never seen a self test line come up so fast. lol. apparently i am really sick.i just feel like crap, have a bad cough and a mild fever. bit nauseous too. tomorrow my eldest will go back to school, so it's just me and my almost four year old. apparently i have to write a 100 words to publish. so i wanted to say thank you again and that i love the name combination you've picked. my oldest has an L *Logan first name and L last name. his middle name is my dad's, Moos.my youngest i wanted to have two names with the same first letter, so he's called Ronin Rayn. it rainef when he was born too, but we chose the name before then.okay enough words for now. covid sucks
Cyrus’ pov “What the fuck are you telling me, Asher? Say it fucking again.” Asher was breathing fast, “after the ritual Leia fainted and she hasn’t woken up yet.” “And you fucking waited until now to tell me?” “It just happened a few hours ago. I had to get her back to her room and one of the Elder’s looked her over. And then I fell asleep. But I just wanted to check how you felt, after you first did the blood bond with April. Did you faint?” “Did I motherfucking faint?” I actually couldn’t remember. “Let me fucking ask, April.” I mindlinked Asher. I walked over to April, who was making breakfast for us. “Sweetheart, did I fucking faint after we established our blood bond?” April laughed, “well, I marked you first and you didn’t faint. You just said you had the best orgasm ever and you slept really deep that night. But the first time you got bonded to anyone by blood, was actually to Alpha Osiris. And you didn’t faint. You did faint when I marked you again, under a full moon.
Kate’s pov “So you’re going to see Leia later this week, right?” Sierra asked me while we were getting ready for school and work. I actually assumed she would join. She and I have practically been living together. Sierra was working with Beta Damian again, continuing her internship in a different way. I knew she felt bad that it suddenly stopped, when Leia was taken. But I was happy she decided to stay with me. She had been here for two months now and I was so used to having Sierra closeby. It was a lot better than only seeing her on the weekend. I focused on school and Sierra on work, and at night we focused on each other. “Yeah, you’re not coming with me?” I asked Sierra. In the past I might have avoided asking a straight question, but I knew I could be myself with Sierra. “I got an invitation from Alpha Jayden and Luna Angelina. They felt bad for me, not being able to study under their Beta Finn.” Sierra said, to my surprise. “So what does that mean? You might leave soon?”
Sierra’s pov “I’m happy you’re here. Ari and Jamie haven’t really bothered with their training yet. They’re still young, but from what I have heard, you started training with your dad when you were much younger than them.” Beta Finn said. I had just started my internship under Alpha Jayden and Beta Finn. I was really excited, even though I already missed Kate. It was easier the first time I was away for training, because I was used to only seeing her on weekends. But now, I had been with Kate non-stop for more than two months. Sleeping together every day, seeing each other every day. Beta Finn might see me as this ambitious future Beta, but all I felt right now was a nervous girlfriend who wanted to go home. “You’ll be fine.” Grace assured me. “So will she.” Kate and I had left things a little weird. She wasn’t that excited about me leaving, but she refused to tell me why. She said it was just because she would miss me, but I knew something else was going on. I didn’t see the pro
Leia’s pov “Did I miss it?” Kate said, sounding out of breath. “I drove really fast and I ran the rest of the way. Did I miss it?” I rolled my eyes and shook my head, “no you fucking didn’t. Because this aaaaaah,” another contraction was happening. I breathed through the fucking thing like the Elders taught me. “Because this fucking daughter of ours is as stubborn as her parents.” Asher came in the room, holding some bottles of water and snacks. “O, you’re here! Great.” he said to Kate. “So she is still not out? How long is this now?” she whispered to Asher. “I can fucking hear you and it’s been almost twenty four fucking hours and I am going in there and pulling her the fuck out, if she doesn’t hurry.” Asher laughed, but stopped when he saw I wasn’t joking. I was fucking sick of this. First I get contractions three fucking weeks before my due date and then she decided to let me just wait for fucking hours?! And they only have fucking herbs and crystals here?! Fucking breathing
Aaro’s povI shouldn’t have said that, but it was the fucking truth. No matter how much this wasn’t Storm’s choice any more than it was mine, he was still going to mark me against my will. Maybe if things were different, then I would have chosen Storm as my mate.I always hoped I would find my true mate, but that ship had fucking sailed the moment I was bought. Maybe even before then—maybe the moment I was brought to the damn school. It didn’t fucking matter anyway.I saw how my remark hurt Storm, and all I could think of to make this better was to ask him to kiss me. I knew it fucking made me feel better. More than better. The orgasm he gave me was out of this fucking world, and I just wanted to make him feel good too.I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing, but he seemed to enjoy it, and to be honest, I was enjoying it too. I didn’t think having someone’s dick inside my mouth would be fun, but hearing Storm grunt and hold on to my hair and knowing I was the one doing it to him was a
Storm’s povI knew if I got pissed off, Aaro would stop telling me the truth, so I let her talk while inside of me a storm was raging. I wanted to go to the school and kill everyone who ever hurt Aaro. I wanted to destroy the entire school and get everyone out, but I knew I couldn’t. I was a fucking hypocrite. My father had bought Aaro for me and had funded the school for years. I didn’t realize where part of our money was going until I checked the books today. Our pack had been giving money to the Goldacres for decades. How could I say I would destroy the school if I still profited from it? If it wasn’t for the school, I wouldn’t have met Aaro.I wanted to be Aaro’s home, her safe place. She deserved that. Despite the fucked up situation she was thrown into, she was trying to do things her own way. She could have ignored my mother like the rest, but instead she decided to learn Dutch. The thing that bonded me and mam together. If Aaro was smart, she would have sucked up to Dad and R
Aaro’s povEve explained the phone to me, but I still felt like a fucking idiot using it. She was so patient with me, but I knew if others saw me fumbling with the phone, they’d think I was raised under a damn rock. Everyone used technology for everything, and I felt like I didn’t belong in this world.To be honest, I don’t belong here. I belong with my sister; I belong back home.But a part of me wished I did belong here. That I could give Storm what he deserved. He wanted a real person who didn’t have that many secrets, someone who could be themselves around him, and I wasn’t that at fucking all. I had to think before I spoke, because otherwise I could reveal the truth."I really am sorry, Aaro." Eve said again.I shook my head, "don’t be. I’ll be fine."Eve sighed, "it can be really hard sometimes, Aaro. I try to put on a brave face for Storm. I don’t want him to feel bad for me, but it’s really lonely for me. I miss my family and just having a life. Don’t get me wrong; if I had to
Storm’s pov"Aaro is bijna klaar; douchen liep een beetje uit. [Aaro is almost done; the shower took a bit longer than expected.]Mam laughed, "Ik zie dat jij ook ging douchen? [I see you took a shower as well?] She ruffled my wet hair."Dus? [so?]""Niks. Ik ben blij voor je. Ze is speciaal vind je niet? Ik durf het bijna niet te zeggen, maar misschien is zij je, - [Nothing. I am happy for you. She’s special, isn’t she? I am almost too scared to say, but maybe she’s your, -] " I stopped my mom from finishing her sentence."Mam zeg het niet dan! Fuck, je weet zelf wat pap zou doen. [Then don’t say it! Fuck, you know what Dad would do.]"My mother knew better than anyone what my dad thought of true mates, considering she was his. Dad and mom fell in love when they were seventeen. Love at first sight, she called it, and then my grandfather got killed and my dad turned into a paranoid asshole. Too scared of what a true mate meant. He wasn't just scared of losing half his soul if his true
Aaro’s povFucking phone. That stupid fucking phone. Phones didn’t used to be like this, were they? I remember mom and dad having a phone, and I sometimes watched videos on it or played a game. But this thing was totally different.I felt so fucking out of place. I knew nothing about this world. I guess that the school does this on purpose. Make sure to isolate the girls once they’re out of the school. Make sure we don’t know how to use technology to ask for help.We’re not supposed to tell anyone about the school, but even if we only wanted to help ourselves once we were out, we wouldn’t be able to. We had no one to turn to and no way to set up any support system. Maybe I should talk to Eve. She had been isolated, stuck inside this packhouse. She knows how it feels, and maybe she knows how to get out of here.I opened the stupid phone again, cursing at it."You better not fuck this up again. Send text to Eve.""Send text to Eve," the phone said."Do you want to join me and Storm for l
Storm’s povI put Aaro on my lap and let her eat."So what’s her deal?" Cara asked, mind-linking me."What do you mean?""She seems nice, but is she like the rest? Does she want you because of your title?"I laughed, "no, she isn’t like the rest. Not at fucking all. I don’t think she cares about becoming Luna at all.""Did she have any say in coming here? Did her parents force her?"I sighed, "she’s an orphan. It’s fucking complicated Cara, but she doesn’t really have a choice. So I’m trying my fucking best to make everything not suck as fucking much."Cara smiled at me, "you want her to like you."Aaro started giving me bites to eat, and although it surprised me, I let her. It was fucking adorable that she cared enough to feed me."She likes you already. She was straddling you, and now she’s feeding you!" Cara shouted inside my head.That kiss was amazing. And when Aaro started moving her fucking hips, I went insane. If Cara hadn’t stopped us, I don’t know what would have happened. Wh
Aaro’s povBrand was cool. He reminded me of my dad’s wolf, Logan. He was as fast as him, too. How would it feel to run as a wolf? Would I be that fast?It was easier around Brand because he didn’t talk to me and I didn’t have to pretend so hard.Even when I was myself, I still had to pretend. I couldn’t let anyone know my real name or identity. It wasn’t easy. I so badly wanted to tell Brand about Logan. I wanted to tell the girl in the orphanage more about Ero. And when we discussed our names, I really wanted to tell Peter what Aaro fucking stood for.It bothered me how scared everyone was. It was supposed to be like this. In my dad’s pack, people weren’t scared of us. And although my grandpa Os could be a bit scary, people respected him more than they feared him.Then he shifted back, and although Storm looked a lot better, like a whole fuckload better, I went back to pretending. Pretending that he didn’t look fucking good, and I wondered what it would feel like to touch him. Preten
Storm’s povI tried to get some work done, but my mind kept wondering about tonight. What would be a good date idea?"Let me meet her," Brand said."And then what, have a picknick? It’s fucking freezing outside.""Please?" Brand asked and I think it was the first time he said please to me."I’ll see what I can do, okay, buddy?"Dad had given me her tracker information, and I felt like a fucking stalker, tracking Aaro’s moves. She went from the hospital to the orphanages, to lunch somewhere, and then to one of the elders' houses.When it was around four, I just gave up on working and decided to pick up Aaro early. I'm sure she'd appreciate it; I couldn't imagine spending the entire day with Ruby.I went to the O'Hares' home and watched as Aaro spoke to a young boy. He must be one of the grandkids or great-grandkids of the O'Hares. Mister O'Hare was 104 years old and looked no older than 70.When the boy saw me, he bowed his head and seemed scared. It was such an obvious contrast between
Aaro’s povStupid fucking nightmare. I used to have them when we were younger. I would dream about Marco taking us away. We were asleep when he took us, but we woke up before he brought us to the man who transported us to the school.Doctor Marco had always been so kind to us, but suddenly he was cold. He ignored our cries, he ignored me begging him to let my sister go. In the end, he threatened to hurt Elora if I didn’t help him calm her down.He showed me bones and said they belonged to a girl, and if I didn't help my sister out of her pajamas and make her shut the fuck up, he could turn my sister into a bag of bones too.For years, I wondered what he needed the bones and the pajamas for. I thought he might have pretended it was one of us who died, so my parents wouldn’t come looking for us. Or my parents were dead themselves; there must have been a reason why they didn't find us. Auntie Kat was too smart to not see through Marco’s plan, I was sure. She was the smartest person alive;
