Like any other she-wolf, Carrie was excited to find her mate. Her pack life was going perfectly, and the only thing missing was her mate. That night after she graduated, she found her mate, but sadly, he was her best friend's long-time boyfriend. Carrie was rejected on the spot. Broken-hearted and barely alive, Carrie left her pack and joined her Mother's pack. There, she met her second chance. She became the Chosen mate to the Alpha, acting as Luna to her new pack. With his help, Carrie overcame the pain and started a new life. She fell deeply in love with her fiancé; she had nothing to complain about. Until the Alpha found his mate, everything Carrie loved and worked for quickly unraveled before her eyes. Banished from her pack and no longer believing in fate and mate, she works to build a life as a rogue among the humans until the unexpected happens. Will she find her own destined mate, or will she suffer alone?
View MoreSometimes he fed quickly and roughly, other times he forced me to socialize with him as if we had some sort of relationship, although even then his hatred for me never left his eyes. This was all well kept secret to Lucas. Apparently tonight was the latter.I silently watched as the vampire led me around the hall. Amy had finished her high wire strip show, although her night was likely far from over if the new guest had anything to say about it. I pushed aside my revulsion and watched as a human witch painted scenes with colored smoke hanging in the air. With the wisps, he formed a rhinoceros and sent the beast charging into the opposite wall, dissolving into plumes of smoke, catching the attention and scattered applause from the guests mingling about.As I watched the show, I silently endured, keeping my head down with a false smile frozen on my face. Every night I quietly got through and hoped to fall asleep as soon as possible. I only wanted to see the man whose name I can’t rememb
Carrie's Point of View“You’re a wolf and I could see you were being restrained by something that shouldn’t be used,” an old lady said when I first saw me. “Y-you knew?” I asked her, trying not to cry. I struggled to remember this man that has always been in my mind. I felt like I knew him but couldn’t just think when or how. There’s a thick fog clouding my mind. “Your wife is fighting. She can’t let that potion take over her.”“Can you help me? I wanted to get out of here, it felt so wrong to be here,” I said. The old lady smiled and took my hand. “Don’t worry, child. The fate wasn’t sleeping after all. You’ll have the freedom that you want very soon.”That conversation was two months ago. The old woman I talked to was found dead the next day. And I have been stuck here after we left the place where I met her. I was told I am Lucas’ property and I should be a trophy wife but I doubt it. He said we will be back home in Europe. That's what he said but after another long evening o
I kept busy alternately stalking through the forest or calling any contact I could think of who might be of assistance. It was morning a few days later when the sounds of a pair of stumbling feet caught my attention, breaking the long wait. It wasn't a werewolf, because we moved with the grace of our animals in the forest. Joseph and I exchanged glances, and just before we hid, I caught Dean Jordan's scent. She broke through the trees. Dean Jordan flew just behind him. "Greetings, Mad!" she called, her voice jarringly cheerful under the circumstances. "Sorry I took so long," Jordan chirped. "Humans are so slow in the forest." "She's not wrong," Joseph agreed with a wolfy shrug. Jordan wasn't too tired to shoot her a dirty look. "My expertise is magical subterfuge, not traipsing around the forest. We built civilization so no one would have to deal with this unruly mess if they didn't want to. You're welcome." Jordan shrugged. "It's not my expertise either, but I manage
I knelt on the side of the road, numb with despair."Alpha." Joseph was tense and cautious like he was approaching a wild animal. Had he witnessed everything?Had he seen my mate leave me? After almost a year, did she forget me? No, I think. Maybe the potion’s work. Her memories were messing up or at least I presume.It hurt. It hurt so unbelievably badly.Joseph nudged me with his foot. "Get off the road before someone sideswipes you, Alpha."That sounded like a positive outcome. Maybe if they hit me hard enough, this pain would be over. I just knelt where I was, ignoring him. Nothing he could say would change anything.Joseph just stood and watched me for a long moment."So, uh, what are we going to do, Alpha?"I don't know.As the months had stretched to almost a year, I finally met her again. For the first time in that time, he was pushing me with all his strength for control, and I wasn't sure I wanted to just let go and give it to him. I could try more. I had tried for so long.
It was past time to know what Joseph was hiding. I would have preferred if he had told me voluntarily, but maybe that was asking too much. The wolf with the knife to his throat began to speak."He made a deal with our alpha, but ran off with the money. Alpha wasn't happy about that.""What was the deal?""Information."I looked towards my pack mate and decided to give him one final chance. "Want to confess?"Joseph’s shoulders slumped, but he kept his teeth in the leg of the unconscious wolf beside him and just watched what was unfolding.It was a convoluted situation that he was helping me threaten answers that exposed his own wrongdoing out of these enemies. But even with exposure looming over him, he didn't say anything.I turned back to the wolf and he asked, "If I tell you what you want to know, will you let him go?""Sounds a fair trade to me.""He was supposed to spy on Sakura and report back, I think."Joseph’s flinch confirmed that this wolf was telling the truth."Just repo
I followed Joseph around the wilds around the no man's land staying well away from pack territories, for two days. With Joseph as my guide, I knew we could reach there before Carrie would go too far away from me.Occasionally, he would comment about something he remembered, some recollection of an abandoned pup, and I kept the pointlessness of what we were doing to myself."We stayed here the first winter, Alpha. This place usually has a harsh snowstorm. We can’t continue our trip without letting the surge pass," Joseph told me. "Pretty good hunting and I shifted so we didn't freeze." We passed a roughly constructed structure that could barely be considered a shelter, built from refuse and branches, and nearly falling to the ground while nature swallowed it up from all directions.The idea of children shivering out in this hovel in the middle of the wilderness pissed me off.A snap caught my ear. I wasn't the only one, Joseph looking in the same direction as the sound. "Pretend you d
I had a system for checking every new non-mundane place I searched, carved by long practice. The first step was to go wherever the most action was happening.This time I was in luck because the man who I first approached in front of the cave had been eyeing us. Since his complexion was pale, he was probably a vampire."You’re not from here. Do you have any business here?" he told me as he dragged me into his cave. Joseph trailing behind us like a skulking shadow."We were trailing someone and we have been told that they might pass here," I said as he led us to the deepest part of his cave. “I’m Madoka and this one is my pack member, Joseph.”“I see. You two didn’t smell like rogues. Figures. I’m Damon,” he said and lit up a cigarette. “There’s no one passing here that I didn’t notice. Name? Or maybe do you have some pictures?” I showed her Carrie’s picture and almost immediately, the cigarette in his mouth dropped and his eyes widened in shock.“This woman,” he said. “Even though she
"Mad, so good to see you again," the dean said. I leaned on the crutches as we shook hands before taking the proffered seats by her desk."Likewise, Dean Jordan. This is Joseph, a pack mate of mine."She nodded her greeting and then we went on to speak of my current search about my mate who happened to be with a vampire. I politely inquire about the state of the school, and she responded in kind, before she got to the tricky part of the visit. “So this mate of yours, do you have any pictures of her so I'll know if she’s been here?” she asked.I took Carrie’s picture from my pocket and showed it to her. “Hmmm.”“Did you see her here?”“Yes,” she said and looked at me. “Her name was Carnation and she’s a vampire wife named Lucas. Is she your mate?” I nodded at her. “She has changed her hair color and her name but she is Carrie, my name. It has been long since she left me and our pack to help search for the Queen of Vampire’s grandson. Sadly, the prince was retrieved but my mate didn
A few hours later, after a desperate run to civilization, I returned with the withdrawn cash in hand. The gym was even more empty than when I had first seen it, only Joseph sitting with a couple of guards, which was much better odds if Waren tried to double cross me. I didn't think he would from my impression, although I still didn't let down my guard. I passed the money over to one of the men who had been with Waren, and Joseph was shoved roughly forward towards me. He stumbled before righting himself. His face was blank and he kept his eyes down, but he followed me as we left the building without further opposition.We shifted and left the Red Wolves territory as quickly as we could, not stopping for a break until we had put as much distance as we could between us and them.Joseph was even more quiet and subdued than usual, and I didn't interrupt him, because now that the crisis was over, I was lost in my own thoughts about what I'd heard from the Red Wolves.Between Evant and Arte
