Eve came through the conservatory door with another pack member I hadn’t seen before, her blonde hair long and pulled back into a tight bun. Her eyes the shade of dead leaves in the fall. Deans’s sister smiled at me before turning towards her brother and pulling him in for a tight hug.
“What do you want Eve?” He asked in a knowing tone.
Eve battered her long lashes and smirked, “Alyssa and I wanted to go shopping, can I have your card?”
“On one condition.” He replied.
Her face fell instantly, “what?”
“Bring some clothes back for Annalise too, she’s in dire need of something to wear other than the ones that don’t fit Zane.” He told her, digging into his back pocket and pulling out a wallet. “If you say no you can’t have it.” He added, waving around a red card he pulls out.
“Of course, any thing for my future sis-in-law.” She
I only make it a few steps before I’m tackled to the floor by the guy with piercing orange eyes, his muscular frame pinning me to the floor and ensuring I can’t move. I tried to struggle, to thrash my body and break free, But it was no use he was too strong, much stronger than myself. I screamed, frustrated and afraid, the power within me surging forward, shattering the windows of the hallway and causing the men to gasp in shock.“get off me!” I cried, once again trying to break free.Yet, the new arrival who thought I was his mate, wouldn’t let me go, would even allow me to turn around as he adjusted his hold on me, calm and collected whilst I was freaking out. I didn’t mean to shatter the windows, I just wanted to get away from them, I couldn’t hand having four mates, I was barley coping with two.“Alexander get off her.” Dean ordered in a sharp tone.“I’ll let her go when she
We all burst out laughing together and my heart swelled once more, I didn't think it was possible to be anymore happy, to experience the feeling of love more than I did right now. I want to embrace them off for who they were, I wanted to give them all a fair chance, I wanted them all to become a part of my heart. it was strange to think I was already falling for them, And half an hour ago I wanted nothing to do with it. but I guess that's how life works, you make decisions and sometimes you don't think them over. You sorta bypass the consequences of what your decision will Make.Matthew rushes towards me, jumping from his seat and tackling me from mine as he still laughs, he grabs my hips and lift me into the air, spinning me around faster than I can see. He suddenly throws me over his shoulder and tickles my hips, causing me to snort as I laugh, his hands like magic on my skin, igniting sparks wherever he touches.“Stop, sto
We sat down to eat and the conversation flowed, the men getting on better than I ever thought that they would, though I knew that it was for my benefit more than theirs. They wanted me to feel comfortable, to be happy and not have to worry about them arguing every five minutes over who gets to spend time with me. It was nice to be wanted, don’t get me wrong, but it was also kind of tiring to be the centre of attention all the time.“What’s your favourite colour Annalise?” Zane asks, his voice light and fun.“I’m not sure, I’ve never thought much about it.” I say. “But I’ve always liked purple.”“Purple it is.” Zane smiles, peaking my curiosity.I frown, “Why do you ask?”“Eve wants to know so she can’t colour coordinate your wardrobe.” He says, the smile he held widening.“Oh.” I whisper. “How many clothes is she gett
I smile And try to quickly finish my food, shuffling it down as fast as I can, the excitement building within me more than I can bear. I have always wanted to watch a movie or series, I wasn't entirely bothered which, I just wanted that experience. I'd always have the guards talking about films and things like that, But I've never seen them myself, bath as I didn't like slaves using anything, let alone a TV.Most of the time we weren't even allowed to read the books in the library, he forbade us, said we weren't worth it. That we didn't deserve it, that we never would. he treated slaves like less than humans, less than wolves, most meant nothing to him. But, because of what I was he wanted me more than he cared about the others, I was special to him. Not in the way I was special to these wolves, rather that he would have been able to use me however he saw fit and I would have been able to do nothing to stop him. I would have been utterly powerless against him a
The garden was breathtakingly beautiful as well walked around, we chatted some more, but mostly about me and what I liked. I didn’t have much to say, but what I did Alexander listened and took it all in, as though he was attaching every moment to memory. We sat on a bench that was located at the edge of the garden, facing the dense woods with a cup of hot chocolate, something I had never tried before but quickly learned that I liked.“I’ve never tried this before.” I say, taking another sip. “Balthazar didn’t have things like this they I knew of.”“I’m glad you like it, it’s gets cold here so hot drinks are good for you.” He responds with a smile, taking a sip of his own drink.“What is your favourite drink?” I ask, curious about what he likes.His smile widens as he looks at me. “I would have to say coffee, I’m not myself without it. I can be quite gru
I growl under my breath, not sure why they all insist on carrying me when I have two perfectly good legs myself, but I say nothing; I didn’t really want to upset him when he seemed so sure it’s what he wanted to do. We all headed back into the pack house and into the den, the guys arguing over what movie to show me next, and that I needed educating quickly before I enjoy the wrong ones. I didn’t know why it was so important to them and they they had to argue, but the serious looks on their faces made me laugh. Alexander moved us to the sofa and sat down with me in his lap, his eyes watching my every move as I witnessed the others nearly physically fighting over the streaming site they had finally chosen.“How about another Disney film?” I ask, trying to defuse the building situation.“We’ve already lost her!” Zane grumbled as he dramatically fell back on the sofa, his hand over his eyes. “We’re too late.&rdquo
I reluctantly woke in bed, the sun blaring through the curtains as I tried to beckon sleep to return to me, my head still pounding from the mate mark that Zane had given me. I could feel all my mates around me, Matthew at my back with his arm draped over my waist, Alexander at my front as he absently stroked my hair. Zane and Dean were near my legs, holding onto me as though I may disappear at any moment. I was so grateful for them all, for everything they have already done for me and all they will continue to do, I still don’t feel worthy, but perhaps I can accept that they are mine either way.I smile to myself, keeping my eyes closed as I embraced them all, loving the feel of them against me, of their skin against mine. It was pure bliss and I didn’t want it to end, after everything that had happened in my life I was finally happy, I finally felt like I belong and I was terrified that if I took it for granted; even for an second. It would all be ripped aw
I make my way down to the kitchen with a spring in my step, looking forward to breakfast with my men, with the men I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. I wonder if it will always be this exciting, if I will always feel so happy around them, I hope it does. I never want it to end, I want them always. I walk in to the kitchen with a massive silly smile on my face, staying by the doorway as I watch them all work together making breakfast.Zane is near the breakfast bar, mixing the batter to make pancakes, the smell of it lingering in my nose. He has a swing to his step as he dances to the upbeat song on the radio. The same music I could hear hallway up the stairs. I smile more at his childish antics, pleased that he is so carefree, it makes me feel his happiness just by watching him go.Matthew is by the expensive coffee maker, making everyone the fuel we need to star the day, he had a small smirk on his face as he added cream and sugar
Flashback;The guard to my left knocked, but the one to my right spoke, his tone raspy and stern. “Sire, thirteen is here to see you.”That’s me, thirteen. The guards didn’t know our names, we were numbers, creatures that they needn’t worry themselves with. The guards were human, all of them. But one of masters spells surrounded them, and no wolf within these lands could question that, no one could hurt them.I heard a cup slam against a wooden table, forcing myself not to wince when I heard the anger in Balthazar’s voice. “Send her in.” He ordered.Oh fuck. I had done something to piss him off, but what? For three whole weeks I had kept my head down, not spoken to anyone but Margaret and I had done everything asked of me. I searched my mind, looking for a mistake so I could prepare myself, though nothing came to mind. I took a shallow breath, and walked into to the room when the guard opened t
I stood on the balcony window of our home, watching as my nine children play and have fun together, the twins watching over the younger ones and making sure that they are ok and safe. Several years later; I had the twins before I reallly knew who I was and what I was going to do with my life. but now I had a good idea of what my life should be and those I will be spending it with. it took a long time to realise what I did was the right thing, I felt a lot of guilt after killing the warlock , but I know that it was the best way to move forward and it had to be done. At the time their was no other choice because he wasn't willing to compromise, he wanted my loved ones dead and me as a slave, their was no changing his mind. No matter if we had tired or not. killing him was the only option, and I'm glad most days that I went through with it, it changed everything and made life better for a lot of wolves. Each one eventually coming to the pack and joining our growing family. Our pack
The journey home was fast, but wished it was quicker, I couldn't wait to hold my children in my arms and tell them how much I loved them. I could now give them the life that I wanted to, they would grow up and be happy ajd content with all they have. for once, I was excited to see what the future may hold for me, and o coukdnt wait to see what would happen in my life next. Of course more children will be a must, but other than that I had no idea. I still had so much to learn and do. but now I had the freedom to do it all I didn't know where to start. The wolves that had come into battle with me and my mates bellowed and shouted about how strong I was and how blessed I must be to be able to defeat a warlock such as Balthazar. I had to agree with them, the moon goddess had definitely blessed me, with mates and strength. I was the luckiest girl alive to have what I do, and even with everything that has happened to me in my life I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't change it because
I screamed out and rushed forward with all the strength that I had, plummeting myself into enemy lines and away from my people. I had to get to Balthazar and end this once and for all.I staked three more vampires before I got to where he was stood, waiting for me in silent awe, he was impressed seeing my powers. But that was only because he wanted them for himself. He wanted nothing more than to use me for his own gain.but not anymore, I was free."You've come a long way, Annalise." He says slowly, a smile breaking across his face."and you are the same asshole you have always been." I growl, Nyx closer to the surface than she has ever been before.she was ready to fight, and was I.Balthazar laughed bitterly, though I could tell he was nervous. He never expected me to get this far. "You can end this now, surrender and all the others c
It took a while to get to Balthazar's land, and what we didn't expect were the amount of wolves present that were chained to wooden poles outside his mansion. Dean included.I wanted nothing more than to run up and free them all, but their were warlocks and vampires blocking my path. Each one of them ready for a fight.the wolves around me screamed and howled their battle cries and set off running into the enemy, biting and scratching. Those that remained in human form and only partially transformed held wooden stakes and spears to take down the vampires.I screamed my own battle cry and pulled away from my mates, jumping into the grey of battle and using my powers against those who dared to attack me.The metallic smells of blood filled my nose as I took down a vampire, staking him through the chest, howls and screams filling the air as the battle waged. The fading screams of the
I look around at all of the wolves present, some already transformed and ready to go. I know now that we have a chance to do this, that we can if we work as a team.I howl at the top of my lungs and then face everyone present once more, gaining all of their attentions at once."we have a real chance to change the world today..." I shout, Matthew coming to my side whilst my other mates continued to prepare weapons. "We are doing this for our future and for the future of all the children and babies of our kind." Growls and shouts break out, all of them agreeing. "Together we will fight through the vampires and kill every warlock in sight!"They begin to chant my name, but what they don't realise is that today I am not myself, today I am the decendent of the moon godddess herself, today I am the Red wolf and we are the ones that will change the world.every man and woman present will fight a
All the warriors and the alphas were stood just outside the pack house, Waiting for me to arrive and give the order, we had been preparing and training for two weeks and I just hoped that it would be enough to take out the warlock.we couldn't wait any longer, it was now or never and every moment we wasted here was another moment that Dean would be close to death. I couldn't lose any of my mates, I just couldn't. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to them.I wanted nothing more than for us all to be safe and happy, but for that to happen Balthazar needed to die, he would never let my kind go, he would never free our people.we had to take matters into our own hands, I just prayed that when the time came I would know exactly what to do and how to defeat him.But then again I couldn't hold out much hope of that, I mean, he could just as easily kill or render me useless. He has
I woke up slowly, my head throbbing slightly and the light too bright for my eyes. But that's when I heard it, the cries of my children from somewhere in the room. I opened my eyes and tried to sit up, my eyes scanning the room, searching for them.alexander had one of the twins and Drax had the other, gently shushing them as they cried. Both children had my red hair, their eyes a bright green; and they were beautiful."my babies." I sobbed, catching the attention of my mates."Would you like to hold him?" Alexander asked, walking towards me with my son in his arms."yes." I cried, unable to hold my tears of joy.Drax walked forward as I took my son from alex, showing me my little girl. It was perfect. I couldn't believe my eyes. My two beautiful and perfect children were right here."you did well love, they are healthy and strong." Al
I slept quite a lot the next few days while my mates sorted out the finer details for the attack, but I wasn't sure of everything. It all seemed rushed, but I guess we had no choice about that. We could either attack within the next few days or risk being attacked and killed or captured. Something I knew that we couldn't risk.I had my c-section today, and we would finally meet the twins, but something was missing, or should I say someone. I just wish that Dean didn't get captured when he did, I needed him by my side. He was my mate and his presence brought me comfort.I rolled out of bed and showered, it took longer than normal, but I needed to feel clean. It was strange being pregnant, you never quite feel like yourself, and when the babies kick it feels a little surreal.I know a woman's body is meant for this, but it's still so strange, I'm growing people inside of me, two healthy little babies are develo
