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
DemiSomething happened last night, something that never should have happened, and something I cannot explain. It’s the reason I’m rushing to speak to Luna Mia right now, the reason I had to get away from the house while Levi was still asleep.After the dinner party last night, Levi’s demeanor changed. He seemed fine the entire time, he even kissed my cheek sweetly and Noelle gushed. But as soon as they left, and we started to get intimate, a switch flipped. I could feel the fury emanating from him, and my confusion seemed to fuel him more.Then he asked me a question that had my heart skipping a beat, and as soon as he sensed the anxiety in my scent, he marked me down as guilty.“What’s going on between you and Liam?”He must have picked up on something when they were here, but I’m not sure how. It’s not like we gave anything away. In fact, I ignored Liam more than usual and acted as friendly as possible when I had to talk to him.So why did he… So why did Levi feel the need to forci
Epilogue Armata / Levi Six months have passed since Calista and I tied the knot, and now it’s time to take her home to my pack. I can sense her nervousness as we drive toward the estate, her hands fidgeting slightly. I reach over, taking her hand in mine, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “Don’t worry, Princess,” I say, trying to ease her anxiety. “You’re going to fit right in. They’re going to love you.” She gives me a small, nervous smile. “I hope so, Levi. I just want to make a good impression.” “Where’s that kick-ass attitude from when I met you, hmm?” I tease her with a wink, and she hits my shoulder lightly. “Don’t make fun of me! This is all new to me, okay!” she says, biting her bottom lip. I sigh. “I know, baby, I’m just trying to make you smile.” As we approach the estate gates, I feel a familiar sense of homecoming. I squeeze Calista’s hand again as we drive through, her grip on my hand tightening slightly. When the car pulls up to the main pack house, my heart swells
CalistaAs Levi and I drive towards the hotel for our mini honeymoon, my mind races with a mix of emotions. I’m excited, of course, but also undeniably nervous. The idea of what’s to come, this new chapter with Levi, is both exhilarating and intimidating. Levi, with his rough edges and protective nature, has opened up a part of me I didn’t even know existed. He’s shown me that beneath the façade of the spoilt heiress, there’s a tenderness, a vulnerability that I’ve never exposed to anyone else.As we pull up to the hotel, it’s like stepping into a dream. The hotel is elegant and understated, its ambiance a perfect reflection of our relationship.Walking into the hotel room, I can feel my heart pounding in my chest. The room is beautiful, a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The soft lighting and the plush bed seem to beckon us, promising a night of intimacy and connection.Levi pulls me close, his front to my back as his lips brushing against my ear. “Are you okay, Princess?” he wh
Armata / LeviThe day of our marriage officiation is a mix of nerves and understated excitement. Calista didn’t want anything big, which initially struck me as odd. She just wanted it to be a simple affair, something intimate and personal. In a way, it suits us – no grand gestures, just a true union of hearts and souls.Standing in the small, elegantly decorated room, a sense of anticipation courses through me. Today, Calista and I are taking a significant step forward, embarking on a journey fraught with challenges but one we’re both fiercely committed to.The door swings open, and Alpha Nikolaos strides in, his presence as commanding as ever. But it’s the man following him that stops me in my tracks – Liam; my brother, not by blood, but in every way that counts. We haven’t seen each other in months, and his appearance here, now, is both a shock and a profound relief.“Liam!” I exclaim, my voice a mix of disbelief and joy.“Fuck, Levi!” Liam responds, his voice echoing my own warmth.
CalistaClutching onto Levi as we sit in my father’s office, I feel a whirlwind of emotions raging inside me. My heart is still racing from the shock and relief of seeing him return, and the realization of how much I’ve missed him hits me like a tidal wave. I refuse to let go of his hand, needing his grounding presence as we face my father together.“Calista, Levi,” my father begins, his tone serious, “you both seem to have reached a decision.”I tighten my grip on Levi, my voice steady despite the tears that had just subsided. “Yes, we have. We accept the proposal.”My father’s gaze shifts to Levi, his expression scrutinizing. “Levi, you do understand that this means Calista will be leaving with you to join Alpha Nikolaos’ pack?”Levi meets my gaze for a brief moment, his eyes searching mine for any doubt. Turning back to my father, he replies with a firm resolve, “Yes, sir. We’re aware of what this entails, and we’re prepared for it.”My father leans back in his chair, his eyes neve
Armata / LiamRiding back towards the mansion, the steady roar of the bike beneath me is the only thing keeping my racing thoughts at bay. These past two weeks without Calista have been a relentless hell. Every day felt longer than the last, each moment stretching into an agonizing eternity. Being away from her didn’t just bring clarity; it fucking intensified everything I felt for her – every longing, every goddamn unspoken word.I replay our moments together in my head, over and over. Every laugh, every intense stare, every godforsaken time she looked at me and didn’t even realize how much she affected me. Being away from her wasn’t just about missing her physically – though I ached for that too – it was the profound, gut-wrenching yearning for the connection we have. The way she challenges me, pushes me, fucking complements everything I am..Every night away was a goddamn battle against the urge to just say ‘fuck it’ and come back to her. Lying awake in the cabin, I’d think about
CalistaThe following morning, I wake up with a sense of purpose, my mind clear and my decision made. I know what I want, and it involves Levi. Despite everything surrounding us, my heart is certain. I want to be with him, not because of any arrangement or obligation, but because of how I truly feel.As I get ready for the day, I can’t help but feel a flutter of excitement at the thought of seeing Levi, of telling him my decision. I wonder how he’ll react, whether he’ll share my feelings, whether this could be the start of something beautiful and real between us.Heading down to breakfast, I expect to see Levi waiting for me, as has become our routine. But instead, I find Marcus, one of Levi’s men, standing by the door.“Good morning, Marcus. Where’s Levi?” I ask, trying to hide my disappointment.Marcus seems a bit uncomfortable, shifting on his feet. “Good morning, Miss Calista. I’m not sure where Levi is. He asked us to accompany you for the day.”My heart sinks a little. “He’s no
Armata / LeviAs Calista dresses and heads back towards the mansion, a sense of foreboding settles over me. Watching her walk away, a part of me wants to follow, to keep her close. But I know she needs this space, this time to think and decide for herself.I stand there for a moment longer, lost in thought. The simplicity and honesty of our interaction in our wolf forms, it’s a stark contrast to the complexities of our human lives. Out here, in the wild, things are clear, primal. But back there, in the world of duties and expectations, everything is muddled.Turning away from the path she took, I take a deep breath, trying to clear my head. I need to think, to plan. Whatever Calista decides about us, about her father’s proposal, it will change things. And I need to be ready for that.I take out my phone, contemplating calling Liam again. He’s been a grounding presence in the chaos of my emotions. But I decide against it. This is something I need to work through on my own.As I walk ba
CalistaTwo days have passed since that conversation with my father and Levi, and the weight of their words still presses heavily on my heart. In need of clarity and space to think, I find myself drawn to the edge of the forest, where the natural world always seems to offer solace.I stop at a secluded spot, away from prying eyes. The transformation is something that always brings me a sense of power and freedom. I close my eyes, feeling the familiar tingling sensation as my body begins to change. My bones shift and reform, my senses heighten, and my skin gives way to a thick, white fur. The transformation is swift, a fluid transition from human to wolf.As my white wolf form takes over, I feel a release from the human complexities that have been burdening me. I take a deep breath, the scents of the forest filling my nostrils, and I begin to run.The ground feels different under my paws, more alive, as I dart through the trees. The wind rushes past me, and I relish in the freedom and
Armata / LeviI watch Calista walk away, her figure retreating into the distance of the house. The conversation we just had with her father lingers in my mind, a storm of emotions and possibilities. Needing a moment to myself, I head outside to patrol, a routine that offers a semblance of normalcy amid the chaos.Standing under the open sky, I pull out my phone, my thumb hovering over a contact I haven’t reached out to in a long time.The one person who might understand the turmoil I’m feeling. I hesitate, my mind racing with doubts. We haven’t spoken much since... everything happened. I know I shouldn’t bother him, but right now, he’s the only one who might understand.Finally, I dial his number, the familiar ringing echoing in the silent night. When he answers, his voice is laced with surprise. “Levi?”I take a deep breath, trying to steady my voice. “Hey, Liam. Yeah, it’s... it’s been a while, I know.”He laughs, a sound that eases some of the tension in my chest. “You could say t
