**DELANEY** We get to the packhouse. And they have dinner ready. Oven roasted lemon chicken, roasted veggies and mashed potatoes. I'm starving. I still haven't seen Carina and Levi. I'll go check on them when Orion leaves. Once we finish eating, Orion kisses my forehead and tells me to mindlink him if anything happens. ‘Luna Carina, are you in your office. I’d like to talk with you and Levi.’ ‘I am laying down resting. The brute won’t let me leave my room. But he should be in his office. Come find me when you’re done breaking the news to him.’ She giggles. This woman knows everything. Now to check on Levi and break the news to him about not killing the attackers. I knock. No answer. What the hell? I open the door and there's no Levi. I search his office and there's no trace of him. Maybe he went to check on the warriors. 'Levi.' I mindlinked him. 'Hey darling, what can I do for you?' 'I need to have a conversation with you. It's important. ' 'Alright, give me a few minutes an
**ORION** Delaney protested letting me carry her to our room. Even though I begged. I never beg. But I begged her to let me tote her beautiful body to our room, where I plan on marking her. When I open the door, the scent of her hits me and I just love the fact that she is all over everything. She is almost officially mine.. I close the door and lock it. “So, marking. I guess that is like some territorial thing?” She says with a blush on her face. “Usually happens during mating.” I blurted out and her blush intensifies. “And mating is?” She says for confirmation. “Mating is well… Um… Sex..” I pause and look at her and she is listening carefully. “Marking usually happens during um.. Sex. And once the marking and mating process finished strengthening the mating bond to be unbreakable. I will be able to feel your feelings no matter the distance. As will you. And the mark will show everyone that we belong to each other.” She sighs. “ I am a virgin, Orion. I have never been intimate
**DELANEY** We are up bright and early this morning. We're heading to breakfast before heading to this Alpha meeting with Alpha Maddox that I got to meet after the attack. I swear three to four days in this pack, and I have already stopped killings, gained a mate and a bite mark and now I am fixing to attend a meeting with my Alpha mate to discuss business. Which reminds me. “Orion, just so we are clear since I am now your mate, that means I can’t be the Alpha’s assistant. Sooo, please tell me that position was made up just to keep me close.” I say with a laugh. His face is stoic, one eyebrow cocked. “What if it wasn’t? Does that mean I get to find another hot and short blonde to keep as my assistant?” He says stopping us from walking. “Not in your WILDEST dreams!” I growled. I meant it as playfully buy Hera came forward. She did not like that. “Sorry babe. Hera didn’t enjoy your joke.” I say as the shock falls from his face. “It’s okay, my love. I have really got to get used t
**HEATHER** I can't believe she can just hug me and say those things to me as if they were true. I have always been looked at as the girl everyone wants to bed. I thought using that to my advantage would work out. What if what she is saying is true? What if I meet my mate and he turns out to be amazing and a bad ass, and he doesn't want me because of how I act? Shit, I wouldn't want someone like me. I'm going to take her advice and sit outside till the feast. I need to know what she will say tomorrow. I almost don't hate her anymore. I don't think so. I don't think I actually hated her to begin with. Just the fact that Orion looked at her the way I wanted him to look at me. The way I wanted any man to look at me. With love. Not just lust. I'm outside in the garden, I want to do what she asks me to and take in my surroundings and see what that does. I feel the sun. The rays, beaming on my face. Soaking into my skin. The smells are crisp cool air, like the freshest of air. Mixed wi
**ORION** It’s time for the meeting, then we will have a big dinner tonight in celebration. My father and I own the largest construction company in the United States. We not only build for humans but for most of the supernatural world. We do start to finish building. Anything our customers want. My dad has built this business from the ground up and I already know how to run it. It's just the Alpha stuff I'm still trying to get right. Business deals I can handle. But making my own way as an Alpha. Keeping the pack not only happy, but safe. That is something I am taking pretty seriously. Maddox is the foremost leader in real estate and development. That is why I think us becoming business partners and having an alliance would help us both. Miles doesn't know but all of this was my idea. Everyone thinks my dad created this meeting but today they will know it was me. Delaney finally comes back into view when my eyes land on her. I can never get enough of looking at her. "Hey gorgeous
**DELANEY** To say I'm shocked at myself for being so forward would be an understatement. I can't believe all of that just happened. I just had his penis in my mouth. Which is crazy cause I didn't even know what to do. But Hera coached me. She was enjoying it all just as much as I was. He tasted so good. And all the things he did to me felt magical. And afterwards, I just feel happy. We are heading to his office for the meeting. And then I'm heading to check on the rogue wolf’s family. Got a surprise though for Maddox, Orion was right, today would be a full day.. I walk in and Orion is behind me. I go to sit in one of the chairs and Orion pulls me into his lap. "Now you know this isn't professional, don't you?" "After that little bit of fun, there's no way you aren't sitting with me. Or at least desperately close to me." He chuckles. And that is my favorite sound. Right next to his moans. Ughhh. Get it together Delaney. "Come in." Alpha Maddox walks in with a good looking man beh
**DELANEY** After our talk with Heather and Maddox and helping him to find his Luna it is now to do my first actual duty as the future Luna. I have to go talk with the wife of the rogue wolf. Of course my Alpha is following along and since it is just us right now. It is the perfect time to ask him to make Kylo the Gamma. “You know Orion, Kylo would make a great Gamma. I know that you are worried about it but I think he is the best one for the position.” He huffs in exhaustion. “I know he is the best candidate. But he also wants my Luna, and hates my guts.” We are on this winding road to the empty cottages I had the rogue's wife and kids housed. It is so beautiful here, I don’t think I could get tired of it. “Why does he hate you? What happened?” I asked. He stops and looks at me. “I slept with someone he cared about. I didn’t know they were together. She never disclosed that to me, and neither did he. I was a stupid horny kid. And it ruined a quite good friendship. I have apologi
**DELANEY** We make it into the packhouse, uninterrupted. Finally. But that might have a lot to do with Orion sending a mindlink out to make sure everyone leaves us alone so we can actually rest. The moment we hit the bed, and I am snuggled into Orion’s arms my eyes close. But weirdly everything is so cold around me. I feel like I’m laying on a hard stone floor but my eyes are so heavy. I can't open them back up. 'Hera, what's going on?' Silence... Where is my wolf?? Where is Orion?? My whole body is losing heat, I can feel the anxiety rush through my whole being. "Such a beautiful little specimen. I can't believe I let you get away the first time... Should have taken you when I had the chance all those years ago... No worries you will be mine again..." I am trembling, I know that voice. I would know that voice anywhere. I have worked so hard to forget his voice, his face and to find myself again. But it never worked... "What do you want from me?? Haven't you taken enough from m
*HEATHER* I immediately shift and maneuver this beaten woman in rags onto my back, as Helena breaks into an all out sprint to the pack hospital. I can feel the eyes of all the pack members trailing my wolf all the way there. I even hear Maddox calling for me. But my mind is focused on this woman’s shallow breathing. I can feel her ribs, she is barely clinging to life and I have no idea what to do. I lightly lay her on the ground and shift. “I need the doctor and a surgeon. This woman is EXTREMELY dehydrated and is barely alive. NOW!” I growl. And everyone in front of the pack hospital is shuffling at my commands. I hear a roar which could only be from my mate. And then I feel a blanket draped over my shoulders. “Are you out of your mind? YOU ARE LITERALLY NAKED IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE PACK, HEATHER.” He growl whispers to me. And I know I have been a bit shy because of the turn of events in my life, but one thing I am sure of is I am not ashamed of my body. “And that woman over
~{Meanwhile at Crescent Moon Pack}~*HEATHER*It’s been just a couple of weeks since I moved to Maddox’ pack. He’s been so sweet and attentive to me. I don’t know why I am so shy. I used to walk around cocky because I was sleeping with the Alpha, but now I am mated to an Alpha and I have no idea what to do with myself.His parents are very nice, and his mother has taught me so much about being a Luna, but I still don’t ever think I will be able to pull that off. Running a whole pack, even with the help from Maddox and his parents, I just don’t feel worthy enough…‘If you don’t shut that shit up. You don’t even realize how amazing you are because you are constantly comparing yourself to others.’‘ Helena reprimanded me.‘What do you know, Helena? You have such a high ego for us. It’s ridiculous.’‘Says the girl who chased the untamed Alpha. I can just feel it in both of our souls that we are meant to be Luna. We are meant to be with Maddox. You must trust in that bond, or the negativity
*GARRETT*“Okay big brother, let’s hear it!” Delaney squeals eagerly. Wanting to know about what happened when we were kids and probably about what I have been doing all this time. I am sure she is more focused on the first option though.“Okay, but before I start, please know that as a young kid myself some of the decisions I have made may not have always been the greatest, but I was just a kid. Just as lost as you. And I was trying to figure everything out on my own. I never wanted anyone to get hurt or feel like they were abandoned. But I know that is probably what happened anyway. I just need you to know that everything I did was because I was hoping it was in your best interest.” I say, taking a deep breath, wiping away a stray tear that tried to fall from
*DELANEY*We made it back to the packhouse. Watching Hera’s form obliterating a whole forest into ash, almost losing my mate and brother, and still having to look for Carina and Levi, I am beyond exhausted.After hearing the explanation on the way back of what happened to Orion, the new Dr. finally calls me in to heal Garrett. I am so nervous hoping my powers will be enough to heal him and his wolf. I hope I don't cause any falsified hope or scare my mate or his. I just want to do this right. I need my brother by my side. Plus, I want nieces and nephews running around.I want to have the family I always dreamed of having, that I always wanted. And with my brother and Davina by my side we can all find our parents.
*CARINA*My body is aching. Every muscle feels like it is on fire. My head is throbbing as if I have been punched repeatedly. Why am I feeling like this? There isn't any reason why I should be feeling like this. Even some of Levi’s and I's “rough nights” I never wake up feeling like this. And that is saying something cause the man is a literal beast. I try to move my hands to wipe my eyes. I can't get my hands to my face. What the hell?I try to lift my arms from next to me. They feel like they weigh a ton. Why are they so heavy? I finally flutter my eyes open and wherever I am the room is completely black. I realize my hands are not by my body but above my head. I feel shackles on my wrists. I try to open my mouth and holler for Levi but I can't get anything out of my mouth. I start frantically looking around. Now that I am awake a little more, I can make out a little more of what is going on in the room. It looks like a cellar of some sort. I see a small bare cot in the corner. I
*UNKNOWN*I almost had her. I almost had her in my clutches. I almost took her Alpha with me too.But she thinks she is so much smarter than me. She thinks she is better at magic than me. How can a light witch be stronger than a dark witch? What does she think that because her brother is basically the warlock king, that she is entitled to the things I want? I am ten times smarter, stronger and more powerful than she is.I couldn't break through her protection dome, I couldn't grab her and her Alpha before they disappeared into thin air. I guess moving the Alpha will kill him since my poison will start running through his veins again. And then when she is the most vulnerable I will kill her.I wanted him for myself. He is so han
*MELODY*I left Diana because I knew Dr. Summer would be able to help him. And Delaney will be able to heal him when we get back. But I couldn't stay away from Kylo knowing he was facing basically an army of vampires and a dark witch. I shimmered back into the kitchen where I shimmered before and it was in ruins. There were ashes everywhere. Body parts slung all around the little house Diana and her mate lived in. Walls were missing inside. There was a huge gaping hole in the roof that was on fire. Electrical wires dangling from the ceiling and sparking from holes in the wall.The fear coursing through my veins is only increasing by the second. I want to try to mind link my mate, or Delaney or even Orion. But I'm terrified to not get a response. Or worse, to find them amongst the dead.
*DIANA*After I cut the link with Delaney, while also keeping an eye on my mate. I start chanting a spell that will throw the dark witch off balance with Mother Nature's energy. She won't be able to attack Orion and Delaney because I will conduct a protection spell on their aura's since I have talked to them both. Having them in my vicinity will only enhance the magic surrounding them."Baby, I need to get up and help you!" Garrett hollers as he tries to swing his feet over the bed. "You lay your ass down right now, Garrett Tye Daniels. I will magically strap you to the bed and not in the way you want to be or like!" I say, giving him that. 'don't friggin try me' look.He lays back down with a huff.
*DELANEY*As soon as I spoke to Diana and she told me that her force field was being attacked. She was frantic and unsure if she could hold them off much longer. The fear of not knowing if the man she is mated to is really my brother, an almost paralyzing feeling to say the least, and the fact that he could possibly die before I even get the chance to get the answers I need. I know that waiting on everyone to join the fight is impractical. Orion wants a plan, Kylo and Terrin will want a recon team. Levi will want to take as many into battle, which will mean they have to gather supplies and what not. And I just don’t think we have that kind of time. I just ran, there was nothing else I could do but let Orion know where i was going and why and go as fast as my limbs would take me.But I just started to find these missing pieces to my past and my family. There is no way I could sit back while one of them is under attack and I have the ability to stop it. As I am running, I can feel ey
