“That went well,” I say and she laughs.
“I suppose it did. But it left us with more questions than answers, yet again.”
“Yeah. I mean, I’d already figured out that it had happened before. But I guess mom knows what the other mates positions and relationships were. And apparently, it was always for a different ‘reason’”
“Yeah but the last one was a warrior too. So wouldn’t that be a repeat? Or maybe not, since you are a General?”
“I think she means that something happened each time, something that determined their future. Not necessarily their positions. I’m not sure, I’ll do some more research. Honestly the only thing I was looking for the first time, was whether I could even possibly have you. Once I found that out, I went to your broth

Sure enough she is at her table with a canvas and paint in front of her while my dad is at her desk, his glasses perched on his nose while he goes over documents and relays questions to my mom while she works. The way they work together has always been my inspiration for my future relationship. I wanted to lead a pack as seamless as they do. Now, I had to learn how to help lead an army that seamless. They look up at the same time, obviously not expecting me. My mom gasps and runs over to me, hugging me tight. “Oh thank Goddess you came home for a break! Ryn, I didn’t think you’d be able to bring her back so soon, I’m so glad that you were able to convince her to,” My mother says to me and then to Ryn. He bows out of respect to her and my father and then nods his head. “Me too.” “Now you and I, we have a lot to talk about, because I am not buying that bullshit about why you left, I want to the

{ Ryn }She lifted up onto her tippy toes and I met her for a quick kiss before I pushed out the door behind her father, the smile on my face remaining as the door closed behind us. We walked down the hallway in silence and I saw him side glance at me. The realization truly settling inside me that my mate’s father was the King, my King. And his approval of me meant more than a normal father’s approval would.I cleared my throat and straightened my face back to stoic as we reached the stairs and I Was surprised when he let out a deep chuckle at this.“It’s alright, Waryn. I won’t bite, at least not as long as you don’t hurt Olina,” he tells me with a lighthearted voice but his words holding a truth to them.I paused my walk and furrowed my eyebreows as I searched for the right words before turning to him, my voice dropping lower and my face now c

{ Olina } I ended up falling asleep on the small couch in mom’s office while we talked. She didn’t wake me, she just puttered around. I could subconsciously hear her working and it soothed me to be close to her. I woke up to sparks dancing up my arm as someone rubbing their fingers up and down it. I smiled before I even opened my eyes as his scent filled my nose. Before I could open the door I felt his hand move and sparks made themselves known once again as he slipped one hand under my knees and the other under my shoulders and lifted me off the couch. He took a few steps till we were out the door and I opened my eyes finally to see him glancing at me with a soft expression. “Hi baby,” he whispered. “Hey,” I said with a dopey smile on my face. I still couldn’t get a grip on this new happiness from just being with him. I realized my wolf had been exhausted and stressed being away from him for a few hours and that w

“Hello?” I forced myself to talk as normal as I could. “Hi, Lana?” “Yes, who is this?” “It’s Oly.” “Oh shit, wait… really?” “Yes! Are you alone? I know it sounds weird, but I don’t want anyone knowing I’m calling you.” “That’s not weird at all, and yeah I’m alone. I’m home right now. Dad’s out so its just me here.” “Alright, good. So how are you?” “Ehhh. I’ve been alright. Honestly been pretty lonely since you left.” “I know how you feel, I’ve missed you. How is everything there?” “A disaster. And also really strange. There’s a lot of… hush hush around the ranked wolves and the pack just doesn’t feel right. My gut says there is something going on, and something about to happen, but I don’t know for sure.” I wasn’t surprised so much. W

{ Waryn } The blood is running off my hands and into the sink as I mutter curse words under my breathe. I can still feel the anxiety that is bubbling into rage once again the longer I’m here and away from Oly. I’d been sparring off and on with the elites for the past 6 hours and it wasn’t helping as much as I’d hoped it would. I dry off my hands finally and then turn to go back into the training room where the elites are not laying on the floor doing core workouts. I glanced at the clock for the umpteenth time since I entered the room. 2:04. “Still whining?” I clench my fists at my sides and take a deep breathe trying to remind myself he is literally my King. I turn to see his amused face and it took everything in me not to punch the smug smile off of him. “Seriously Quai, your position is the only reason I haven’t taken you to the mat yet.”

{ Olina } I woke to the sound of snoring in my ear. It was loud enough it actually jolted me awake and took me a few seconds to get my bearings. I was in our bed, and Ryn’s scent was overwhelming me so I knew it was his snores. And based on the noise level I deduced his head was right behind mine. I tried to snuggle into him more and go back to sleep but quickly realized that was pointless so I sighed and then rolled away from him. Sure enough, he remained asleep. Out like a light thanks to his overnight activities, no doubt. I crawled off the bed and grabbed one of Ryn’s sweatshirts and pulled it over my head. The cabin was not heated at the moment and while it wasn’t winter yet, it was autumn and getting colder at night. Note to self, see about heat! I thought as I slipped on some homemade slippers and padded into the kitchen for coffee. I spared the clock a look on the way and wasn’t surprised it was early after

I head to wake up Quai first, stopping and putting my mug in the dishwasher on the way by, the kitchen staff shoeing me and chastising me for cleaning up after myself as always. As soon as I make it to our floor I can hear him snoring. I chuckle out loud as memories fill my mind of all the times he used to snore like this. It was only when he was passed out tired, usually from days when mom and dad would run him ragged with training and school. Between the two of us, he really had a harder upbringing as the heir to the crown. My parents were strict with me, but preparing me to be most likely a Luna, required a lot less work than preparing to be King.My hand landed on his doorknob and I began to turn it but decided against it. We had always had an open door policy for each other, but suddenly, being mated myself, I realized that wasn’t possible anymore and he would have Lana tonight, so I’d better get used to it. I raised my hand up and rapped 3 time

I placed one hand on his stomach and then lowered my mouth to move in sync on him with my other hand, up and down, taking him in as far as I could and matching the rest with my hand.“Fucking hell….” he mutters out as one of his hands comes under the sheets and he weaves his hand into my hair. He gently tightens that hold and it makes me moan against him. I continue to move up and down, drawing more moans from him that make me just as hot. I love being able to get him as worked up as he gets me. He flips the covers off of me and I glance up to meet his eyes. They are pitch black and he has a sexy devilish smirk on his face. I seal off my mouth on him though and tighten my grip causing his smirk to fall and his head to roll back onto the pillow as he moans loudly.“Ohhhh Oly.”After another minute he stiffens and before I can even protest he sits up and grabs my waist, pulling me up to his c

We all look to my dad in confusion and he repeats himself, this time I don’t miss the tone that slips into his words. It was one I recognized from when we were younger and he thought we were lying to him about something.“Olina, what new disadvantage are you at?”I glance at my mother and her eyes shift from calm to suspicious and meet mine as well. Shit, we haven’t told them yet. I find my mate’s eyes and he nods his head towards them with a small smile on his face. He leans over and whispers in my ear.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, but its a good time to tell them”“Easy for you to say” I whisper back. He kissed my cheek and then helps me to my feet. I walk over to where Dad’s bed is and lean against it, arms length from them. I don’t say anything though. I just place my hand on my stomach protectively, and glance down at it. They follow my movements.“Inopportune timing, huh?” I ask with a small laugh, unable to hold back my smile though. I meet their eyes and see my mother’s hand

“That makes more sense.”I turn and see Quai resting on his elbows watching us and listening. I rush over to give him a hug and he returns it.“That explains everything.” Ryn says, reiterating what Quai said. “Especially about the witch’s origins, how this began, and why they are after your father and brother.”“They are basing all of this on the fact that they don’t believe you can be Queen though? I mean that seems like a lot to leave up to chance, I’d bet they are going to kill you too.” A growl erupts behind me while Quai is talking and I just roll my eyes.“Like hell..” Ryn mutters.“You know what I mean,”Quai defends as he lays back down.Ryn stands up and walks over to me. I have to lean back to be able to look into his eyes. He hovers over me, his eyes moving from my eyes to my mouth to my chest to my nose to my lips again. His gaze alone is enough to make my skin burn and my chest pound.“So, mate, what is our next move?”“We set a trap.” I say quietly and he smirks, knowing

{ Ryn }I press my lips to her forehead and try to pry myself away from her but I can’t resist. It’s felt like ages since I’ve touched her and my entire body feels rejuvenated just from this simple contact so I lean down and press my lips to her, feels that release that she always gives me. My stress levels decrease, my brain clears. And I pull away before turning and running out the door.She is here. She is safe. She is here. And She is safe. I repeat this to myself and my wolf as I shift and head to the front line.They are safe.My wolf gently reminds me of the weight on my heart. I wasn’t trying to forget it, but it was so new that it still slips my mind. The doctors came in after they got her settled into the bed, attended to and ran her blood work and tests. They seemed to have assumed I didn’t know. They were right.I was leading a war right now, commanding thousands of soldiers and fighting along side them everyday. I had more blood on my hands than I’d care to reflect on. Bu

A soft beeping echoed through my ears when I finally woke up. I wasn’t sure how I knew, but I knew I’d been asleep for a long time. It was the most rested I had felt in weeks. I took in a deep breathe, and tears filled my eyes when his scent hit me. It washed over me, calming me yet also exciting me. My skin burns from not having contact with him for a few days now. Just before my eyes open, a feel sparks erupt on my hand and more tears come.“I know you are awake, Oly.” his voice is soft, but edgy. I know instantly, I’m not forgiven.I force my eyes open finally and he comes into view. His hair is a mess, but his shirt and pants are clean for the first time since the war started. He clearly hasn’t been at the front line today and that brings up a heap load of guilt. I had gotten information, good information, I knew what this war was about. But in the process I had gotten injured, I had done what I’d swore I wouldn’t do…. distract him.“I don’t suppose saying I’m sorry would mean muc

{ Ryn }“Commander”“Yes?”“The newest platoon has arrived at the south base.”“Good, have them switch out with the 304th and send them back to main pack lands for rest and recouping. Please advise the medical crew of more wounded wolves coming in as well.”“Right away.”I crack my neck as another division leader leaves my tent. My joints are stiff and achy from being in wolf form and sleeping on the ground if I’m sleeping at all. Physically I could still carry a train, but it was beginning to wear on me bit by bit. Thankfully my brain was still sharp as a whip and I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with this war if I could get us through the messiest part we were in now.“Anything?”Quai steps into the tent, covered in dried blood and in just shorts like I am. We have been more wolf than man since the war started and uniforms aren’t exactly practical in a werewolf war.“Yeah, the new platoon just arrived.”“Good, news from the castle?”“Nothing today, no.”He nods and th

“With a date.”“What?”I look at him confused and he just smirks that stupid smirk I used to hate.“Preston what the fuck does that mean?”“It means, that place is a stronghold. The only way in, is if you work there, or are going to a bedroom there.”Oh. Well, I’d already mentally prepared for the possibility of flirting my way in. But he had opened up another one.“Do you know anyone who works there and doesn’t hate you?”He looked offended but responded.“Yeah, I know a girl.”“Would she help us?”“I mean, we aren’t close. More like booty call buddies.”“That’s perfect!” I shout out and I can tell that amuses him.“Thanks, I’m pretty happy about it too, she is great.”“No not that part, but you could call her! And if she is here, with you, not in my bed, but here and she needs to take off say, her uniform, then I could borrow it.”“There are so many ways that is messed up.”“Oh please, help me. The hardest thing you have to do is screw a girl you regularly screw.”Again, that same o

He passed by the door and went straight into my bedroom. Was he the one sleeping here?My mind flashed back to the memory of the day we got the call from Carlisle, the mediation call that turned out to be a distraction. Carlisle had claimed to be the Beta. But was that true? If Preston was sleeping here, then it was definitely true. The Beta would be in the packhouse. Especially with an Alpha like Syn. They demand to know where their Beta is, because they don’t trust anyone, even them.He throws himself down on the bed, my bed, and I see his chest heave a few times. He hasn’t scented that I’m here. I mean to be fair, I barely have a scent, but he definitely was living here considering how comfortable he was and trusting he was alone without searching the house. I watched him through the crack of the door, unsure what to do. I decided that I would at least need to wait till he went to sleep but that could have been hours away. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance.He stood back up an

I straightened up and fumbled my jacket like I was trying to fix it and had just dropped something.The woman, who looked about 5 years older than myself, walked up and greeted me.“Hey, are you alright?” She looked me up and down. I had made sure to change into normal clothes. I Was rocking a hoodie and jeans with vans sneakers. I looked like a regular teenager from this pack.“Yes, I was just… there was this guy that I didn’t want to run into” I tell her, lowering my voice.She lets out a laugh, a good one.“Oh, gotcha, been there. Need a hand getting by him?”“Actually, that would be awesome.”“Where are you headed?”“Not that way,” I joke as I throw my head back the way I came and she laughs again before nodding.

I slipped out the door once I was dressed and nodded hello to the warrior stationed just a few feet from our cabin. Ever since things escalated, WAryn insisted, as did my father.The warrior nodded back and then followed at a distance as I made my way to the castle. Once I was at the entrance I turned and did a once over of the training fields. Some of them were still in fact training fields as training continues despite a war. But two of the fields were no covered in white medical tents for the wounded as they recover. There were two more tents just like this at the EAst and South holdings. They made my heart ache.On my way to the library entrance, I passed by Lana. She waved me over as she was discussing something with one of the kitchen staff.“Hi darling, how are things?” she asked, her words diving deeper than they seemed.“Restless at the East I guess, gone before sunrise.&rd
