I curled my fingers up into a fist and let loose on the tree in front of me. Ever single punch made splinters fly as I punched further and further into the wood. One, two, three….Faris growled and I started to go faster.…eleven, twelve, thirteen…I stopped training with the boys almost two weeks ago. After the fiasco that happened at the training grounds, I had elders and doctors up my ass for a week after that. They all came to the conclusion that I was fine, something both Rose and I knew but the entire pack now wondered if I was on my death bed.…thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five…I still could barely eat but I did make an effort to eat more than I had been. It wasn’t helping though. Now, Leo was starting to hound me and wouldn’t let me alone. Even when Rose told him off, he would come back minutes later as soon as she walked away. The only time I ever got some peace and quiet was when I snuck away for my own personal training.'Alpha, we need you at the pack house.'I grow
Auri pulled her hair up into a ponytail and stripped down into a sports bra and the leggings she was wearing. I knew she was older but she was stunning, even for a werewolf. Her eyes were a stormy grey and her hair was white. It reminded me a little of my mate’s hair. Hers looked natural though and I wondered just how old she really was.She was small but the amount of muscle packed into her was shocking. I pulled off my shirt as well and tied my sweats tighter. As she stretched, I did as well. We had run all the way up here so I was already warmed up but I still made sure I was loose.Not saying a word, she reached out and waved me forward to attack. I took her signal and raced forward. However, I held back as I threw my punch. It wasn’t until I saw her face inches from mine that I knew I fucked up. My feet left the ground as I flew back from her punch. Landing on all fours, I coughed and tried to catch my breath but she had hit me so hard, all the air in my lungs was gone.“Holy…” O
I walked back into the pack house late. Surprisingly, they had been completely open with everything. They joked and laughed and either Hector or Lucy added what Auri said, who was hilariously uncensored. It got to the point where Lucy or Hector would blush and refuse to say what she said, leaving AJ or Jax to say it. For some reason, it felt really comfortable to sit at the table with them. It felt like when I sat with Leo, Rose and Cory, except this group was exceptionally louder. You could also tell that they all had been through much more. Especially Auri, Hector, and Bryan. The way their carried themselves was different and I wondered if it was only because of the war that they fought in or if it was more.“Zeke, what the hell man?”I closed the front door to the pack house and Leo, Owen, Cory and Rose were waiting for me, sitting in the living room.“Goddess! Look at your face Zeke!” Rose looked at me, worried but I waved her off.“Don’t get up, Rose. I’m fine. It’s just the lef
I opened my eyes and sighed. Luckily, the sheets were thrown off or I would need to wash the sheets again. My body was drenched in sweat and I groaned. Rolling off the bed, I quickly jumped in the shower, washing off my stomach specifically. I don’t know how many times I had released but it was more than once. The cold shower felt good but sadly, it woke me up as well.The clock reminded me it was 3:15 a.m. but I wasn’t going back to sleep. Not now. My stomach did growl and I realized that even after three bowls of soup and cake, that my body had decided that it was out of starvation mode. Throwing on some sweats, I decided it should be okay without a shirt at least in the pack house. Opening the door, I checked the hallway but everyone seemed to be asleep still. Walking down the hall and into the kitchen, I dug around for some leftovers in the refrigerator.There was a container of lasagna and I threw it into the microwave before grabbing a fork. I took a bite and gagged. Leaning ove
Morgan and Auri had moved their conversation to inside the tent but somehow I got roped into the tent as well. Now, they were sitting at the table, coffee in front of both of them while I had a feast in front of me. Auri had made an entire breakfast spread for me.“The boy may be a werewolf but I don’t think he can eat this much, princess.” Morgan chuckled as he took out a cigarette packet and hit it against his hand.'He’s my son, Papa. I’ll treat him exactly how I treat all my children.' Auri smiled and took a sip of her coffee.Her words made my face go red, her already accepting me as her son. I hadn’t felt this kind of warmth since I got my wolf. Once it was apparent that I was not going to be as strong of an Alpha as my brother, my parents focused their attention on my brother. Then to my nephew. I hadn’t actually spoken to my mother in years and I felt a pang of jealously before I stuffed it down.My eyes widened as I watched Morgan pass a cigarette to Auri and light it for her
Rose’s jaw dropped but she quickly shut it. “It’s wonderful to have you here, Alpha Auri.”“How can a woman be an Alpha?” Leo grumbled, he was looking away from us and I growled.“Leo, show some respect.”Auri put her hand on my arm and shook her head. 'It’s okay, Ezekiel. Don’t worry about it. I’m sure it’s the same reaction as your elders would have toward me.'“That doesn’t make it right.” I growled. Turning back to Leo, I grabbed him by his shirt. “What the fuck is your problem?”“Zeke! Stop!” Rose put her hand on my shoulder but Auri took it off and pulled her away from me.He growled. “I want to know what the hell is wrong with you! You’ve been a disaster since we got back from the High Council.”“You think that gives you the right to insult everyone else? If you have a problem with me, then you take it to me. But you will not be disrespectful to anyone else. Auri could have removed your head for the disrespect and I would have had to just allow it!”“She’s a woman! You let her
Leo went to open his mouth but I gave him a swift glare and he shut it.“If I become Alpha, I won’t be able to see her. The Elders would be up my ass and they wouldn’t approve of a human mate. Faith agreed to be my chosen mate for show because her mate died when they both were young. I gave her a safe place and a name for herself, whereas I was covered in regards to a mate.”Rubbing my forehead, I sighed. “Does your mate know about you? What you are?”He shook his head and I groaned. “She doesn’t know. She just knows she loves me and has a pull to me. We can be apart for longer periods of time because she is human and it isn’t as strong but…Uncle, I can’t reject her. I love her.”“How long have you been seeing her?”His head fell. “Three years.”Sighing, I leaned forward, putting my elbows on the desk and placing my head in my hands. My eye contact being lost with Leo seemed to make him feel that he was free to speak.“Are you fucking kidding me? Are you stupid? You not only didn’t re
I stood with my warriors at the edge of the territory at the northern border. Leo was next to me, as was Cory. All the warriors who weren’t on patrol now lined up at the northern edge. Ahead of us, the whole of the Golden Sun pack were gathered together. Only Bryan wasn’t dressed in armor. He had his cane but he looked serious. All of them had been conversing through the mind link for the past five or ten minutes. Some of my warriors were unnerved by them, shifting back and forth.Finally, I saw a few nods and AJ, Jax, Morgan, and Hector took off. Bryan, Auri and Lucy walked over to us. I straightened and so did Leo and Cory. Auri was smiling brightly though.“Good Afternoon, Alpha Ezekiel, Beta Leo, Gamma Cory.” Bryan nodded to each of us.“Are we ready to get started?” I asked.Bryan nodded. “We want to make sure no one escapes into your territory if they run.”“So we are just cleaning up if anyone gets out of the camp after you guys clean up?”“Basically. We have our pack spread ou
Hey everyone!! I wanted to go ahead and give an update here. We decided to move The Kings Alpha under the story Alpha's Blind Luna. The chapters have already been moved over there and that is where the new updates will be going to as well! I know! The first question is what about my coins and what I have already paid into this story! Don't worry! If you have already paid for up until Chapter 80, you are covered. You won't have to pay again until Chapter 81! I double checked with my editor because I was worried because I have stories I read on the site as well that shift and I wanted to make sure you guys were covered. :) I am trying to focus best I can on The King's Alpha moving forward and hoping to finish it as soon as possible! Im sorry for the major delay. I have a baby in the last few months and it has been an adjustment to having to kiddos and trying to juggle all the things that comes with that. Not to mention my little dude is the fussiest and doesn't like to be set down, wh
Hello everyone! I know it's been a minute since I've updated on the things going on. It's probably been a little frustrating and I know the writing process on my end for this story has been a little frustrating as well. I promise you I am still working on this one! I hit a bit of a wall and ended up throwing a number of chapters out the window. As I was going through that, I've been hit one after the other with health issues. The last of which I was out for two weeks with covid + pneumonia and landed myself in the ER. I was already in a compromised state but here we are. I'm slowly on the mend and even though I'm really not supposed to be working as much right now and just focusing on getting better, my love of writing and sharing with others has me continuing to work a little at a time. I've also been going through some of my older stories and working on editing them as well. Just because for a few days it was easier to read than to even must the brain power to dig in deep and to w
We all watched as Hector dished up some of the almost curry-like concoction. Jax put the bread in one of the breadbaskets we used. He took everything to the table but Hector held one bowl back. Opening up the fridge, he took out the container of sour cream. Putting a large dollop in the center, he smirked and held out the bowl to me. I took it and looked down at it. It smelled amazing even with the sour cream.“It softens the spice. You should be able to take it now.”I rolled my eyes but swung around and took my bowl to the table. Everyone was sitting down and it was so long since we had done this. Sadly, everyone was more serious.“Anyone have any news before I start? I’d like to eat a little before I talk my head off.”Hector grabbed a baguette slice and dipped it into his bowl. Everyone seemed to take that as a go ahead to eat. Lucy was the first to start.“Hospital is all set up. We also managed to snag two OBGYN doctors for the hospital. I had to bribe them quite a bit but we’ve
My eyes roamed up to the voice and the cigarette dropped out of my mouth between the rocks. Hector was standing before me. Cigarette between his fingers, brought up to his lips. He was thinner, gaunt. A look in his eyes that said he was far away, a pain I saw when I came back from the BloodHunter Coven but then so much more. His hair was cut short and he was completely clean shaven. Getting up, I threw my arms around him and hugged him. He chuckled awkwardly but did pat my back a couple times before letting go.“You’ve been missing for almost a year! What the hell happened?”He sighed, smoke coming out as he did. “It’s a long story. One probably best left for everyone to be present for.”I nodded, still taking in that he was here. “Are you hungry? We can get some food set up. Something to drink?” I glanced down at the duffle next to him. “You’re room is untouched. So you can drop your stuff off.”There was a moment of silence before his eyes finally met mine. “Right now, I’d like a ci
***Ezekiel’s POV***I sat across Vale at desk in the office. We are both immersed in different paperwork. I could feel his gaze fall to me sometimes but I didn’t look up, trying not to be distracted as much as I already was. This paperwork was important and it needed to be approved, signed, and submitted as soon as possible. Having my beautiful mate sitting across from me did not help. He had come home a couple weeks ago. It had been almost a month he was gone this time and I found that it never got easier to be away from him.Worse, the pack house was quiet without him. Auri was gone. It already been years and I think both Vale and I had started to accept that the strongest person in our lives was gone forever. Not to mention Hector. He was always gone from the pack house. Suddenly though, he started to not take any of our calls, even from Pipsqueak. We knew something bad happened but Vale said he was still connected to the pack. So there was some semblance of hope. Lucy had moved in
I sat in the back of a taxi headed back to the hotel. The last thing on my to-do list was adding another 5 days to our stay. I worried Hector’s heat may be worse than mine or even Ezekiel’s. It had been a struggle to keep my power reigned in. It felt unruly and wild. But I did itch to see how much more power I had compared to before. There wouldn’t really be time to test it now. For now, I just needed to focus on Hector and maybe getting reconnected to the world.The taxi stopped in front of the hotel. I grabbed my bags full of food, herbs, two laptops, and a few other necessities. Walking in, the receptionist was about to come around to grab the elevator when I stopped her. It was a quick an easy process to add another few days onto the stay and then she helped me into the elevator. As I was headed up, the door opened and the entire floor was dark. Setting the bags on the counter, I narrowed my eyes and looked around but I couldn’t see anything.Walking into the bedroom, I saw Hecto
“Goddess, I can’t remember the last time I had a shower.”I chuckled as Hector looked into the bathroom. “Imagine how I feel.”“Did you want to take one first?”Shaking my head, I was reading over the information the front desk provided. Apparently, there was a shopping district not too far from where we were. I looked at the little map printed on the page.“Auri?”“Oh! No no! Go take a shower. I’m going to head down and pick up a few things. At least some food for you. See if we can’t look semi-normal.”Hector walked into the kitchen where I had been leaning on the counter looking at the booklet. “Want me to go with you?”My eyes roamed over his naked figure. Sure, we had been naked for weeks but this was a completely different environment. It was hard keeping the smile off my face as I took him in.“No. I blend in a little more than you do.”“I can blend in.”This made me laugh. “Hector, you’re almost a foot taller than the average height here. Not to mention you absolutely are some
We ambled five minutes before we ran into anyone. Luckily, it was no one who knew us. They didn’t even stop as we swayed with the two bottles in our hand. I stopped at the power room. It was out of our way but I wasn’t about to leave this place running after everything I had gone through. Leaning Hector up against the wall, I unlocked the door with the keycard. It was too easy. No one was monitoring the room and it was as easy as pulling levels well past the red marker. It was sophisticated but at the same time, simple. I wondered where we were that would build a power system this easy to fuck up.Quickly, I closed the door and pulled Hector back over my shoulder and we ambled our way down the halls. Unfortunately, this route took us past the guard common room for the east side. Sure enough, three guards stood outside, chatting. They looked us up and down.“What the hell…”Flaring my nostrils, I pointed my pinky at them, while holding the beer bottle up. I did my utmost to slur my wor
It had been surprising quiet. I guessed three weeks had passed. Hector’s beard now being my indicator of time passing. At one point, he begged one of the lab coats to shave it off but they didn’t do anything. Once a week I got my injections and Hector received a meal that I was thankful I didn’t have to eat. Despite that, somehow, Hector looked bigger, gaining more muscle and height. I wondered if it was because of our bond or it was because the power I imparted into him. Either way, the guards gave him a more wary eye and it made me laugh. For the most part, they kept our chains slack, allowing us to be together. The only time was the meal time or if they were hauling me away for more additions. Yesterday had been one and I slept most of the rest of the day. After that, they had actually pulled the chains tight and we were stuck apart. It was wearing on Hector and I wondered how close we were to his heat. His replies were more growls than anything. The sound of scrapping reverberat
