"Chilli?" Elias appears next to me, "are you okay?" He asks, wrapping his arms around my waist,"Yes, fine," I say, wanting to feel somewhat annoyed with him, but I can't as his fingertips sneak under the hem of my top and brush against my skin, sending sparks up and along my spine."Good," he sighs with relief, "you were incredible," he adds, gushing slightly, "how do you feel?""Good, fine," I smile at him, "to be honest, I feel like going for a run," I wink, stretching my arms,"A run? Really?" He looks at me with surprise."Yeah, I just wanna run," I smile, but then thinking about everything that is going on, it might not be the right time, but then Elias says,"Okay," he smiles back at me, then his eyes shift to look behide me as he adds, "we can go for a walk in the woods at least," he says touching my stomach and I can't help but give him a puzzled look until he opens a mind-link with me. 'we could shift and have a nice gentle trot through the tre
Chilli POV "Shift?" Chant's raised voice sounds from behind us and I spin round to see her panicked expression before us, with a stranger standing by her side, "but ..." giving us all a bewilding glance."Chant? What are you doing here? Are you okay?" I ask holding my top up to my chest, to try and cover myself up as Elias stands before me and holds my hand, squeezing it tightly as he sheilds me. "Yes, sorry, no," she stumbles over her words, "your about to shift!?" She half asks, half accuses."Yes..." I answer shakerly, feeling like I'm about to step on a bear trap if I'm not careful.But...." she says again, "I'm just confused," she admits with a shake of her head, "I thought... didn't you say she was pregnant?" She asks looking to Elias, "Yes," my mate nods as her face pales,"Then how can you think of letting your mate shift?" She almost shouts in horror, as Erin and Leroy jog over, still mostly dressed."What's going on?" Erin asks us wi
"Hu?" My head continues to buzz whilst it struggles to completely understand everything that is going on, as I look at the colouring of her fur, "well, I guess a little," I say, turning my head to the side."What?" Elias asks, then seems to catch on to what I mean, he then adds, "no, no, not physically, well yes but not red as in red fur, I mean her DNA. She.... remember, when she came out of the woods.. although, were you there? Did you see it yourself or just hear about it from ....." he trails off, then adds, "never mind.... I'm just making this worse, aren't I?." He runs his fingers through his hair, then looks to Chilli again, "a little help here, please?" He pleads with his mate, as he must have realised he is just confusing me further by the look on my face. She must have mind-linked him something because he takes a step back, as the wolf before me does the unthinkable, the impossible, she starts to look like she is glowing with heat radiating off of her as flames en
Elias POV As we reach the room and Chilli excuses herself to take a shower, I can feel her guilt for leaving Chant and her mate with so many unanswered questions. I wish there was more time to explain, but there's not, hopefully, as Chilli said there will be a later and we can answer any and all questions then. I go to sit down on the bed we claimed as ours last night, just when I hear the shower in the en suite turn on. I glance to the sauce of the sound and notice the bathroom door is ajar, as my mind chases the thoughts of my naked and wet mate, standing under the water stream. I feel the crotch area of my trousers tighten with excitement and wanting. It feels like for ever since we were intimate like that, and I struggle for a moment to think back to when we last were. The cabin? No, the training room, when we got home and father left us alone after helping Chilli prepare for.... I stop my mind mid flow before I heart breaks at the thought of my family. It's been so he
Now on the bed, I feel less worried about hurting her or causing any damage, as I lower my lips to meet hers again as her hand and legs come up to tangle around me again. She purrs as our lips and toungs connect again, picking up from just moments ago in the shower as I waste no time and position her just in the right place to slip back inside of her again. She gasps at the sudden plunge, then as I move slowly but deep, she groans and moans with pleasure, making me with each sound, thrust a bit quicker and harder, as I feel a great need to please her. Our lips part as she gasps for air, so I move my lips back to her neck and along her collarbone, down to her breasts that are being squeezed between our chests. My toung finds and curls around one of her erect nipples as I go to suck and play with it in my mouth. She crys out as her whole body cletches me, and we surf on the waves of her orgasm which just makes me harder as I continue to plough into her again and again as her body
The next dayChant POV "Chant?" Jay draws my attention as I stare off out into nothing, my mind full and clouded by thoughts. "Penny for them?" He asks sweetly with his hand on mine, his thumb rubbing mine in a circular motion. My mind clears for a brief moment as I gaze at my mate and memories of our life so far, bombard me. Our meeting and the intensity of our mates bond at first sight, how even when I told him I didn't want children, not can't, not wanting to have them, he still accept me and chose to stand by me. Still he loved me and never questioned my decision and I love him more for that every day. "Come on, talk it out, tell me what's bothering you," he asks as I think about how he knows me so well. I sigh as I speak my mind,"It's them, the four... new comers. There is something about them, something going on, something they are hiding, planning.""Planning?" Jay echos my words, "what makes you think they are planning something?""Y
Earlier that morning Chilli POV "They're here," Elias whispers as the door to our room slowly opens, Erin and Leroy enter as I finish tieing my laces and glance up at the clock that reads, three o two. I take note of the black backpack on Leroy's shoulder in the dark room as they smile meekly at me. 'Ready?' Elias asks through the mind-link he just opened between the four of us as I stand up, zipping up jumper and tucking my hair into my hood as I pull it over my head. 'Yes,' I link back as looks to the others and they nod yes as Leroy pats the bag and says,'Yep,''To minimise sound, we'll mind-link from now on,' he tells us and we all agree with a silent nod, as our voices echo in each others minds,'Okay.''Lets go, quietly,' he emphasizes on the last word as he heads for and out of the door, leading us in to the hall and down the stairs. We make our way out of the builting without making a sound or being seen by anyone. Elias s
"Awe, shit!" Elias curses under his breath as we exit the tunnels by the training rooms to find it occupied by a group of rather large men sparring. We peer through the large window wall and consider try to creep past, but it would be pointless as three of the men are looking our way and spot us within seconds. We both turn hot on our heals to run, but it's no use and we are grabbed by them in no time at all and only moments after the sound of the door to the training room slams against the wall. 'Fuck, they are fast,' I think to myself as Elias and I both fight to free ourselves from their hold as the largest one of them that was leading the session, chuckles in our faces."Someone will be delighted you are here," he says with a horrifying grin that makes me feel sick to my stomach, especially when he reaches out a hand towards me. I try and fail to pull away from his advances, never wanting to be touched unwantingly like that again by someone like him, like .. Thoran.
Elias POV I look up and watch as Chilli steps out from the en suite, wraped in just a towel, making her way towards her dressing table as I lay on our bed where I was just aimlessly flicking through my phone. Taking a seat and opening its draw, she removes a single, plastic pot housing her facial cream and unscrews its lid. It's nothing fancy, not expensive, its just a simple, none branded, vitamin E night cream.I continue to ovserve as she dips two fingers into the pale lotion and looks into the mirror, to then slowly drag said fingers down her face, starting at her forhead, gliding smoothly along her nose and then finishing with a dab on her chin. She then wipes a bit of the remainder on each cheek before replacing the lid and putting it back in its draw. My eyes are fixed to her as she slowly but firmly works the cream into her skin, taking extra care near and around her eyes. Her finger tips caress over her own face and down her neck, over my mark on her neck
Chilli POV Perching under a tree with Chant as we take a break from sparring whislts our mates for some reason decide to chop some fire wood. I find it amusing and humble how as the alpha he likes and enjoys chopping fire wood for the pack house, no job is to small for our mighty leader.Chant's seductive eyes never leave her mate as he swings the axe up into the air, where it seems to pause for the briefest of seconds before falling down onto a chunk of wood, spilting it into two. The whole movement and process is magical, so smooth and artistic like poetry. I had watched my own mate for a time, admiring his tensing biceps with every swing, the beauty of his movements and strength of the action, but now I'm just leaning back against the tree's trunk with my eyes shut, listening to the beautiful rhythmic sound of the wood splitting, of metal against nature, somehow for some reason I find it peaceful as I smirk at the thought of Chant lustfully gazing at Jay, it al
Elias POV That was brutal, oh my goddess do I hurt, I haven't hurt this much from training since, shit, I don't know when. Sure, I was mad and needed to work it off, but fuck me, Chilli was livid, she was masking it well, I mean, wow. My ass hurts. I had to use all my strength to stay on my feet, especially after I hit the ground hard the first few times of her kicking and taking me down. Once she swept my legs out from underneath me, my wolf instincts took over just so I could stay on my feet. I think I pulled something that time, thank the goddess for wolf healing, cos my left ass cheek and leg are killing me. With Chant now paired with Chilli and Erin and Leroy working together, that leaves me with Jay, who is as good as his mate, oh dear. I sigh inwardly as we step away from the others to train, I can spar and keep up with anyone, I'm alpha afterall, but after the beating I've just endured, I'd prefer a nice easy spar, but hay ho, lets do this. Thankfully, Jay see
Chilli POV Finally everyone is out on the field, we can get started. I am needing to hit something. Elias insist on sparring with me first and to Erin's relief but Chant's dismay, I agree. Which just leaves the others to pair up, one of them did suggest mate paring but the guys seems a little bit wary so it's girls vs girls and guys vs guys. For now anyway. After a fairly rough spar with Elias, I finally start to calm down and release my rage, which I guess was his plan, so I don't feel gilty later now if I cause anyone else major harm. Clearly sensing this, Elias allows us to switch partners and Chant and I go straight to each other, to which the rest of the group chuckle at our predictableness. Chant and I exchange a sinister grin as the others repair up, Elais with Jay and Erin with Leroy. I mirror Chant as she raises her arms up into a defensive stance, declaring she is ready, a smile growing on her face. As we stare down on each other I am reminded of our rematch
"You know there was no way he would accept and train with us," Leroy says once we are alone and with just our own pack members, "I know, but it was fun and satisfying to embarrass him like that, the look on his face at the mere thought of it was golden. To watch him squirm." I can't help but let out an enormous laugh, to which Chilli shoots me evil eyes for finding any of this so amusing. "What?" I chuckle at her before pulling myself together because if looks could kill. I had to laugh, if I didn't I think I would have lost it, plus it felt so good, too good to put Jordan down a bit like that in such a slight way in front of the others. However, by Chilli's facial expression, she does not agree, goddess, did I want to kill him, thankfully in a way he did say no, or we would have had a dead alpha on our hands and territory. "Come on, your telling me you didn't want a chance at hitting him?" I ask her in a teasing way, she looks at me whislt crossing her arms across he
"I hear some incorrect information has reached the ears of my children," "Oh, and what's that got to do with us? Idle gossip is not what these meetings are for." "No, not normally, but," she pauses for the briefest of moments to adjust her tone and the ferocity of her words, "but when it comes to petty, stupid, horrible lies about my family, my children, then you and I have a problem! A big problem!" He nearly chuckles in her face as he asks half heartedly,"Pray tell what are these so called insults?""A spare heir, a baby," she lists off the tamer ones first, working up to the biggest and worst one, before she stops again as I feel a heat burning off of her directed straight at Jorden, "and an inbreed!" The room falls silent after everyone gasps and shoot death stares at the alpha. A low growl escapes from mine, Erin and Leroy throats, our protectiveness taking over. Jordan looks like he doesn't know weather to laugh or bite back."Jordan!" One of the ot
Jordan holds his hands up in defence as I take a few deep breaths to calm myself before turning to the rest of the room to acknowledge our other guests. "Alpha Jonathan, Luna Suzie, beta Willow, sorry for my tardiness, how is Maxwell?" I ask taking my seat next to Elias, pushing my anger down for now, eyeing up Jordan in the cornor of my eye, I'm not done with you yet, I think to myself."No problem Luna Winters, father is doing well and thoroughly enjoying his retirement," he smiles with a nod of his head, which we return, "thank you for asking." Jonathan took over as alpha of the west pack two years ago with his mate Suzie and appointed Willow Steal as the first female beta of the west pack. She is a strong minded woman with a powerful right hook."Alpha Alex, Luna Ela and beta Karl, welcome and thank you for coming today," Elias smiles to the leaders of the Spring rise pack from the south, who joined our alliance about four years ago.With the greetings done and out of the way, we
The drive to school is a pretty normal one, we talk, sing and laugh all the way there, forgetting about any and all problems the day may have already brought. Once there and out of the car, we all walk hand in hand with Marcus in the middle, through the blue painted gates."Luna," the teacher on the gate addresses me with a nod of the head, as does any other adult that comes into eye contact with me. I smile back and return their nods.Like always, even though we come to Lily's class room first, we walk Marcus around to his first at her insistence, she says its part of her job to look out for him to make sure herself she sees him to his door. It warms my heart the care and love they have for each other. As I kiss my son goodbye and he hugs his sister, I take note of the other high ranking children from other packs, sitting at their tables ready for the lessons to begin. Future alpha's, beta's and Luna's all learning together including Tammy and Willow, Erin and Leroy's twins who are a
Chilli POVEleven years later"Lilith Kay Rosalee Winters! Get your furry tail out here now! Don't make me call you again!" I call out by the front door as I wait for my ten year old to take her to school. "Mummy, is Li-li in tuble?""She will be if she doesn't hurry up sweetpea,""Oh,""Lily!" I shout again,"I'm coming, I'm coming," my oldest calls back at me, jeez, ten going on fifteen, she's acting like a teenager, where does the time go? It feels like only yesterday that she fitted in my arms as I rocked her, singing her back to sleep.Take me home tonight, I'd do anything with you, buy a bottle of whiskey, we'll get matching tattoos, tell me that you love me, let me drive your car, we can sit 'til morning light, just countin' every star, 'cause if there's a hell, I'll meet you there, and if there's a heaven, they're serving beer, and if you're an angel, then I must be high, if there's a church, It's rock 'n roll, if there's
