GiannaFor three agonizing days, I watched with bated breath as Alpha Bastien's witch, Celeste, tirelessly worked to break the curse that had ensnared Divan in a relentless cycle of nightmares. Each morning, as the sun rose, casting its gentle glow over the pack lands, but none of its warmth made its way into my heart. The air crackled with a mix of anticipation and trepidation, the energy palpable as Celeste prepared to face the dark forces that held Divan captive.Celeste was a striking figure, her presence commanding and her aura radiating with ancient wisdom. Her long, silver hair cascaded down her back, contrasting against her ebony robes. Her eyes held a depth that spoke of experiences beyond mortal comprehension, and her voice carried a melodic quality that brought a sense of calm amidst the storm.Alpha Bastien assured us she could do this, that her coven was one of the strongest and most powerful in the country. I believed his words at first, but now as I watch her still str
Ghost/DivanAs the landscape shifts, the darkness takes over but I don’t turn back into that frightened little boy again. I find myself thrust back into the depths of my nightmares; I steel my resolve to confront the haunting figure that tormented me—the nightmarish embodiment of my abusive father. The twisted manifestation sneered at me, his voice dripping with disdain.I don’t know how Gianna did it, how she found me and saved me but I am eternally thankful to her for what she has done. She soothed my night terrors, and now she’s broken me out of the nightmare loop. I know what I need to do now.I stand before the nightmarish manifestation of my father, a figure filled with darkness and malice. His voice echoes with a venomous familiarity as he unleashes his tirade of abuse, each word a searing dagger aimed at my heart.“You’re nothing but a weakling, Divan. A disappointment,” he sneers, his voice echoing through the twisted corridors of my mind. “Pitiful; you’ll never be a real man
GiannaI watch Divan as he speaks with Alpha Nikolaos, noting how much respect both of them have for one another. I know they’re men and probably have never shown their emotions to one another, but just watching them makes me realize the Alpha sees Divan as a son.That would make sense, seeing as he saved Divan all those years ago.Smiling, I slip out of the bedroom to give them some privacy and walk downstairs to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee.Going into Divan’s subconscious was draining, not to mention scary as hell. I know we’ll need to speak about what happened, especially after seeing what his father did to him, but I’ll wait for him to come to me about it.When I walk into the kitchen, I see someone has already brewed a pot of coffee, so I pour myself a cup and inhale the familiar aroma. But as I take a sip, I can smell her scent before I even see her.“You don’t need to check up on me, you know,” I say, turning around to face Demi who has her arms crossed over her
Ghost/Divan Gianna’s head rests against the tiled wall, and she tries to catch her breath. My cock is still inside of her, loving the way her pussy is still twitching around me. The utter bliss coming from her mark has me feeling the happiest I’ve ever been in…well, since before I left here. Everything about this was perfect; from the way she came to me, went down on her knees for me to us finally admitting our feelings to each other. I never thought I’d feel this happy, never thought I’d be worthy of someone’s love like this. She opens her eyes and I can see the contentment shining in them. A hint of a blush covers her cheeks, and she bites her bottom lip. “I think we should clean up,” she says with a cute giggle. “Or I won’t be able to make that mac and cheese you wanted.” I chuckle and kiss her forehead, breathing out a long sigh. “Thank you, Gianna,” I say with my eyes closed. Something tells me that I don’t even need to elaborate on what I mean, because she gives me a look t
DemiMy entire life has always been planned out for me; from the time I had to wake up, to what I had to eat right down to what I had to wear. Everything was a routine. I had to smile when instructed, had to reply to questions in a certain way, and laugh when instructed.My mother set everything up for me. You would think my father was the leader since he’s Alpha, but no…my mother controlled him and used her influence to control everyone around her. I was nothing but a puzzle piece to her, so when she told me I’m being married off to another pack, it didn’t surprise me.Routine and expectation were engraved right in my bones… so imagine how I felt when I found my mate in a man who wasn’t my husband.My life changed three weeks ago when my wolf recognized Levi’s brother as my mate. Not only did it throw out the routine of my life, but immense guilt started setting in my heart. We had just gotten closer, and just planned to start a family—things were looking up.After a year of being in
Demi I honestly don’t know what I expected to happen when Liam came to see me. Levi means more to him than anyone else, of course he would choose his brother over a fated bond. Not only that, but from the look of things, he doesn’t feel this pull the same way I do. One sided mate bond; who would have thought meeting my mate would be so disappointing? I’m in the kitchen busy with cooking dinner at the moment, getting lost in the routine of it all. Some might find this monotonous, but I find comfort in knowing what’s supposed to come next. Delayed trauma from having my life planned out for me? Probably. “It smells good in here,” I drop the knife I’m holding and spin around to see Levi standing in the doorway with a sweet smile on his face. He hasn’t been home in days, and just looking at him right now…I don’t feel that excitement I used to feel. “Hey,” I say and walk toward him. “You didn’t let me know you’re back.” He wraps his arms around me and breathes in a sigh as he hugs me
Panzer / LiamWith an aching cock, I move away from a trembling Demi and run back toward my home before I do something I’ll regret. Her honey scent feels like it’s permeating the very air around me and no matter how much I try to breathe, all I see is her.What should have been a peaceful morning after my discussion with Noelle last night, turned into me struggling to hide my emotions in front of Demi. She can’t know how much she affects me, how much I actually want her.And now I might spend an entire evening wishing she were mine.I growl as I enter the kitchen, and when I see Noelle, my dick immediately deflates. Not that she’s not beautiful or alluring… She’s just not the one who makes me weak and I hate it to my very core for feeling this way.“Hey!” she says with a cheerful smile on her face. “Demi just left, and we decided on that dinner for tomorrow night. She wants a list of what our likes and dislikes are, so she can know what to prepare.”I walk towards the fridge and shrug
Panzer / Liam Alpha Nikolaos looks at me with a frown and sits forward in his chair. “I don’t understand?” he says, shaking his head. “Why would you want me to send you out on more missions?” Last night’s dinner was the last straw with me. I realized that I cannot control my emotions around Demi when I see her with Levi, and it’s not even me. My wolf won’t allow her to be with anyone else, even if it’s the one I consider a brother. His obsession with her superseded his loyalty to Levi, and now I find that I am unable to keep either of those emotions in check. “The others are all on a break and need it, but I’m fine with doing our rounds, Alpha,” I say, my hands behind my back and making direct eye contact with him so he doesn’t suspect I am lying to him. Alpha Nikolaos gets to his feet, braces his hands on the desk in front of him, and looks up at me with his eyes crimson. “Why do you feel the need to lie to me, Liam?” he says, and my heart rate spikes. An icy shiver runs thro
