ALPHA BEN (ONE WEEK LATER)
"White Crest, Alpha Ben speaking," I say into the phone with a slight grin on my face.
My body is buzzing with happiness, and I can't seem to shut off the feeling, not even when I should be working. Sasha is the best thing to ever happen to me, and it shows. I smile all day, I get stuff done in record time, and I am more stress-free than ever. It seems as if everything has fallen into place with the pack as well.
Sasha and her trio of followers have taken over training. They redesigned the training field and implemented an entirely new system of working out. Vince doesn't seem to mind since he has more time to try and locate his human mate. Basically, everyone walks around smiling every day.
"Hey Ben, is Sasha near you," Jason's voice says through my office phone, and my happy demeanor dips a little.
"Not at the moment. She and Chels are delivering s
SASHA POV A howl breaks through the night, and I am on my feet before Ben is even awake."Ben, get up," I yell while throwing on my protective suit. My fathers' parents designed the suits over a hundred years ago, and for a century, we have been improving them. They shift with us and they are stronger than a bullet proof vest. They have basically eliminated the threat of human hunters, and they make it hard for Vampires to reach our hearts. Ben jumps up, looking panicked before locking eyes with me."What is it? What's wrong," he demands as he watches me get my suit pulled up. "Border patrol just sounded the alarm. Since I can't link my parents anymore, I'm not sure what is happening. But we need to get ready," I explain as I head towards the door. I forgo putting on shoes. The attire is entirely pointless with
ALPHA BEN (rated R) "MOM," Sasha screams out so loud that most of the field freezes for half a second. Three individual pissed-off roars fill the air, and a blinding flash of light that I know is Amelia crosses the field to where my mate is. Ace snaps the neck of the rogue we are fighting and races in Sasha's direction. Helios and Eros are already killing all the enemies around my crying mate, so I shift to comfort her. "Give your mom space, baby. She will heal him," I whisper as I tug Sasha against me and away from Luis's still body. I can barely hear his heartbeat, and his consciousness is already gone. Blood is soaking the earth underneath him, and Sasha is petrified. Amelia places her hand on the arrow sticking out of his chest and yanks. The silvertip flies out, and the open wound is immediately covered with Amelia's empty hand. Luis's chest begins to glow, and only after about a second Amelia smiles.&nbs
THIRD PERSON Sasha smiles as her family walks towards Ben and her in the airport. She has been waiting for two weeks to tell her parents that she is expecting and it is driving her insane. Typically Sasha only pulls pranks on other people's birthdays, but this one is special. "Honey," Amelia says as she wraps Sasha in a hug. Ben shakes Jason and Jackson's hands while Ethan waits for his turn to hug his sister. As soon as Amelia releases Sasha, Ethan pounces. "I missed you," Ethan says as Sasha lets out a small giggle. "You know most teens hate their sisters," Sasha says, and Ethan pulls back to give her a smirk. "Other teen's sisters aren't as cool as mine," Ethan declares, and Sasha beams at her sibling. Sasha has yet to realize how
ETHAN'S POV (58yr later) I look at the ceiling and blink hard as I push the water from my eyes. Mom squeezes my hand, but I don't look at her. If I look at her, I will lose it. I have dreaded this moment for so long, and now that it is here.....I feel like a part of my soul is dying. "Ethan," my sister's soft voice calls out, and I immediately move to her bedside. I drop down to my knees so she can see me. My father, Jackson, doesn't even look in my direction, but I am used to it. "I'm right here, Sassy," I whisper as I take her weathered hand in my youthful one. "I love you, little brother..... I am so proud of the man that you have become...... I wish I had gotten to meet your mate. I wanted to tell her embarrassing stories.....like when I gave you a paint bomb..... for your thirteenth birthday," Sasha whispers with a small smile pullin
Sasha's story is the 5th book in the Riverstone series. But Sasha's story takes place so far after the original four stories that they are not required reading, but if you are interested.Available on GoodNovel1. The Alpha's Tough girl2. The Alpha's Little sister (Now combined with Book One)3. The Tracker's Soulmate4. The Alpha's Immortal twinsSASHA POV "Sasha, focus," Luis growls after landing yet another punch. "I don't feel like training Luis," I say before turning away. I sit down on the weight bench and look back at Luis. He has one of his hands over his eyes and the other on his waist. I can tell I am frustrating the man who pledged himself to be my guard, but I can't help it. Why should I train? My parents are never
SASHA POV"Happy Birthday Ethan," the group of pre-teens yell as I sip my lemonade.I watch my baby brother blush, and I smile. I can't help the love that fills my chest as I watch him open present after present. Although I am jealous of his life, I love him more than anyone. He is the sweetest boy around. While many of his friends act ashamed of their sisters, my brother typically follows me around like a lost puppy. He constantly asks me to train with him, and he includes me when he plays video games.He is such a handsome kid too. He already has a following of females, and it is so funny to watch. He never knows how to respond when one of them compliments him. He is tall for his age, and he looks like our dads, but he has mom's blue eyes. Outsiders always think we are full siblings since mom can pass for my biological mother. I have the same color of blonde hair as our mom, and our faces are similar, but I
SASHA POV"Do you think I should cut my hair back off before we leave," I ask the two men lounging on the couch in my room.Luis shrugs, but Roland raises his eyebrows."Why," Roland asks, and I shrug this time before answering."The long hair is so messy. I have to style it, but with my bob, I get up and go. I'm the princess.....shouldn'tI try to look more put together for the other packs," I say uneasily.My insecurity is screaming out loud and clear. I have no idea how to dress or appear professional. Rules, fighting, and laws, I know, but politics. Shaking hands and fake smiling have never been my strong suit. The closest people in my life share a look before looking back at me."The packs will be more than happy to meet you, Sasha," Luis declares, and I roll my eyes."You should do what makes you most comfortable. During this tour, we will be meeting with many Alphas and many Lunas, but we will be on training fields for the
SASHA POV"Father, I am flying in planes owned by us," I groan as he nitpicks at something else.Roland laughs as he watches my Father, but my other parents and Luis are patiently waiting himout. I guess they figure he has to run out of complaints eventually, but I know him. He is trying to get my flight delayed. He knows that even though we own the plane, it is still on a schedule with air patrol."He isn't going to stop," Ethan mumbles from next to me.I sigh loudly, "I know.""How are you holding up Bub," I ask Ethan as I tear my eyes off of my insane Father.Ethan shrugs before kicking his foot at an invisible rock. He barely glances at me before the first tear falls. I immediately wrap my arms around my brother."I'm not going to be gone forever," I say as his emotional dam breaks against my shoulder.My shirt is getting wet, but I don't mind. Ethan and I have always been close. This separation will be hard on both o

QUEEN AMELIA "Another one has been spotted, My Queen, " our patrol wolf says with his head bowed. "Thank you. I will let the king's know," I say, and he disappears from the office. I sigh as worry begins to take a seat in my mind for the first time in thirteen years. That makes the fifth unknown wolf to be spotted near our border. The wolves aren't rogues, so we can't treat them as such, but they don't appear friendly either. I stand up and stretch my body before heading to the training field where my mates are. They aren't going to like this. ******* Jackson and Jason's bodies are sweaty and exposed as they circle one another. The other warriors are watching my mates with mixed expressions of awe and wonder. I roll my eyes as I watch the display. Their competitive sides are annoying sometimes. Amelia- sexy loves..
SASHA POV. Rated R Natalia paces with excitement as my palms begin to sweat. Ben gives me a small smile as he slides the key card into the hotel door. He opens the door, and when my eyes land on the room, I gasp. "Ben, this is beautiful," I say as I look around the rose petal-covered carpet. The room has a gas fireplace that is already lit and a bottle of champagne that is icing next to a bubbling jacuzzi. Ben places his hand on my lower back and guides me in further. He takes my sweater off but doesn't say a word as I continue to appreciate the space. I walk over to the sliding door and look out at our view of the full moon. I never thought I would be this moved by a room. I am speechless. I turn and stare at Ben with wide eyes, and he grins. "I'm glad you like it. I wanted it to be perfect for y
ALPHA BEN"So what's going on," Vince asks as he throws himself down in a chair on the other side of my desk."With what," I ask as I finish booking the honeymoon suite in the pack's main hotel."Sasha and Chelsea left training early. Chelsea never leaves training, and while your mate was here last month, she never missed a day. So something is up," Vince says while twirling a pen that was on my desk.I chuckle and lean back. I look my best friend over and sigh. He isn't going to drop the question until I spill."Sasha said she wants to complete our bond tonight," I admit, and Vince's eyes bulge."Wow," he whispers with an exaggerated face.Quiet fills the room as we both think over what that means for White Crest and me. Wolves who are waiting for transfers should withdraw their applications. I will have a mate, a Luna. There will be at least on
SASHA POV I huff as I pick myself off the ground. My mind is a jumbled-up mess. I want everything to be perfect for Ben. I want to show him how committed I am to our bond. But I am incredibly nervous. "Sasha, are you okay," Chelsea asks as she eyes me carefully."I'm fine. You just surprised me," I say, and Chelsea rolls her brown eyes. "I'm a good fighter Sasha, but we both know you can take me with your eyes closed. What's going on," She asks as she drops her stance completely and picks up her water bottle. The pack members who are training around us glance my way, and I sigh. She isn't going to drop this until I spill, but I refuse to tell the whole pack I am getting laid for the first time...tonight.Sasha- I told Ben I want to complete our bond tonight. "WHAT," Chelsea yells, and I immediately shush h
