The cool air that encompassed the Alpha and his feisty rogue, grew thin with sexual tension wafting between them. With the Alpha close to her, touching her, and only a whisper away from her lips. Mira felt a hunger that was completely foreign to her. The Alpha's breath was hot against her bare skin, but it also felt soothing, like he was a remedy for the inferno that he had ignited within her. Solely from the sound of his dominant voice. It was consuming, intoxicating and as the Alpha pulled back, gazing into her eyes, he stole her breath away. His eyes glowed with crimson rings, and before her mind could catch up with her body, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his. She felt a ripple of sparks searing through her thrumming veins, and she snaked her arms around the Alpha's neck, drawing him in closer... Deeper... ALPHA BASTION could hear Mira's heart pounding against her rib cage, it was creating a beautiful beat, matching the rhythm of his, syncing together a
"Run Clohe! You still have six laps before you need to join the others at the obstacle course!" The Alphas voice boomed through the mid-morning air. He knew he was taking his frustration out on Clohe, punishing her for last night. No matter how many times he told himself; convinced himself it was for her benefit. It wasn't. His lack of discipline was equally attributable to those who behaved behind his back without his awareness. He didn't like his pack members sacrificing themselves for a cause none of them didn't fully understand just yet. He also intended to sit down and have a word with Mave and question her. He wanted to know what was going through her mind when she told her daughter to allow Mira to draw from her energy. It was reckless and they put everyone in danger. His eyes left Clohe and they drifted towards the woods. He still had no idea why they were attacked or who attacked them. It was making him feel on edge, a little paranoid and certainly angry within hims
Mira stood in front of the mirror, looking back at herself. Her breath caught in her throat as she didn't recognise the young, attractive woman staring back at her with shiny hair flowing in waves down her back. The small black dress that Clohe had lent her enhanced her curves, which she had no idea were beneath her usual sweater and jeans. Clohe strolled in with a set of ruby earrings that complemented her ruby pendant as she turned to her side. "I think these will look great on you," She cooed as she stood behind Mira and held the earrings against Miras' earlobes. Mira nibbled on her lower lip. "You don't think they will be a bit of an overkill? I mean... I'm not going to the ball to find my mate, and I don't know how I'm going to run in these heels if trouble should find us." She giggled as she peered down at the pumps that encased her feet. "Gods, no!" Clohe beamed. "You look stunning, plus I doubt Alpha Bastion will let any of the males attending tonight get within two feet o
Both Mira and the Alpha felt in tune with their bodies as they walked into the club where the dance was being held. They had many eyes watching their every move as the Alpha led Mira around the dance floor. He held her close, nudging her hair as he got drunk off her scent. Mira felt dizzy with lust, her body felt like it was on fire as she tingled all over. She raised her hands, and she slid them over his torso until they landed on his chest. She then gently pushed him back as she needed to create some distance between them. She wanted to avoid giving him or their audience the wrong impression. She had come to the dance to ensure the safety of everyone, not to blend in. "I thought you asked me here to help keep your pack members safe, not... dance?" She asked him with an underlay of amusement lacing her soft words. "I did. There is no harm in us blending in, Mira; being one with the pack." "Hmmm, I think you have been sorely misled, because I don't think you'll ever be able
Mira stilled her beating heart. The Alpha Kings' eyes, too, shone brilliantly when he looked at her. "Please, rise to your feet. There is no need for an Alpha King to bow in my presence." She cooed as she snapped her hand back as she felt like his feverish skin had scorched her fingertips. As the Alpha King rose to his full height, Alpha Bastion stepped forward. "Thank you for coming to my aid." Mira felt compelled to thank him in front of their audience."If you didn't show up when you did, I'm not sure what I would have done to Beta Daniel." She made sure to say the Betas name loud and clear for all to hear. "No need to thank me." ALPHA BASTION snarled as he looked past the Alpha King and stared at his Beta who was slumped over. His Beta couldn't have looked more pitiful and shameful in front of his young pack members who were taking photos of him on their smartphones, even if he tried. He looked to his right, "Get him out of my sight!" He ordered through gritted teeth. Two
The Alpha King watched in slow motion as Alpha Bastion made his move and kissed Mira; his intended. He closed his eyes as he tried to concentrate on the sound of Mira's heart that thumped against her chest in an uneven rhythm. The scent of her arousal assaulted his nostrils and he could feel the rage slowly consuming him. "Uh, such a brute!" Clohe whispered as she stood next to the Alpha King with her arms folded across her chest. THE ALPHA KING opened his eyes gradually. He cocked his head back and regarded the moon while quietly cursing the Moon Goddess for placing the Alpha in his path. He knew that his mission to retrieve his intended wasn't going to be easy, but also didn't contemplate the thought of him having to fight for her attention, her affection and her devotion. "The Alpha?" He found himself speaking to Clohe at his side, "Is he mated?" Clohe exhaled out of her nose, "Nope. No one has been able to keep his attention this long until Mira showed up." A low growl
As soon as everybody turned around and faced the wall of trees, the atmosphere grew dense with uncertainty. The trees danced as the night's chilly breeze whispered through the air, and the breaking of twigs grew increasingly audible through the silence that had surrounded them. Mira held her hands out at her sides as she was getting ready to draw from her source of energy if she needed to. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, and she could feel the presence of death hovering like a menacing cloud above them. Whatever was coming from beyond the trees, she knew it wasn't going to be pretty. But Alpha Bastion laid a heavy hand on her shoulder, "Save your energy, it can't be safe for you to draw from it repetitively. Tonight my pack will protect you." He said in a firm tone as his fingernails extended into thick sharp claws. ~WE will protect her, Bastion. Make sure that big Alien keeps his mitts off her!~ Shadow snarled in Bastions' head. ~OUR main focus is to protect e
ALPHA BASTION slid across the damp grass on his knees, leaning right back as he slid between the Orakcilars' legs. It dropped to its knees, writhing in anguish, as he ripped its legs to shreds with a roar. He swiftly rose to his feet and returned to the Orakcilar. He wrapped one leg around its neck, pinning it to him while he grasped its head in his hands, and twisted the hideous creature's head, ripping it clean from its body. As he was tempted to look it in the eyes, he hurled the head across the grass, watched as it rolled over the ground, and then found himself bowing to the deafening roar that enveloped him. He tried to get to his feet but quickly found himself sinking further into the ground as he had lost control over his body. He jerked his head back in the direction of the Moon, his eyes gleamed brighter than the sun on a vibrant day, and he let out a roar that matched Miras'. He could sense Shadow, his wolf, clawing at his soul, pleading to be set free, and he did h
I closed the door to the kids' room after making sure that they were sound asleep. It didn't take very long for them to dose off as it had been a long day in the sun, and an even longer night with the activities that had been organised. I slowly crept away from their room and went to find Bastion in his makeshift office.I entered without knocking knowing that he could sense me before he saw me. He was staring out the window with his hands tucked inside his pockets, he turned around to face me as I locked the door with a soft click sweeping through the office, and I made my way to the sofa. "Have you come for a tour?" He asked acidly as he arched his brows and I started to laugh. "I'm glad you find it fucking funny!" He walked towards me. "You know what Elsa says: Let it go," I say referring to the Frozen movie as I roll my eyes heavenward and stand up.Our gazes collided, mine was full of laughter, his was blazing with anger, and his gaze stripped me bare as his scent assaulted my
MIRAS POINT OF VIEW...The moon shone brilliantly casting its silver rays on the sea as its waves crashed against the shoreline. My gaze trailed up to the horizon to see a flock of seagulls flying in the air above us. I didn't need to see them in my dreams to realise how rich I am at heart. Their violent caws resonated through the atmosphere, making their presence known.I felt the light air dance upon my skin and sweep through my hair as I dug my toes into the cool sand, feeling the grains beneath my feet. It was almost therapeutic in an odd way.Tonight wasn't particularly quiet as there was a bonfire at the beach resort we had hired out for our pack getaway. It was an avenue for everyone to socialize and get away for a bit to simply relax and enjoy the sun. "You know, I told Zeb that I thought it would be a great idea if you all come to Morzovia during the xmas break," Clohe said as she sat next to me and rubbed her ballooning belly. "Earth is great, but it is nothing like Morzovi
It has been five weeks since the war that happened with Midnight Pack, Cloves sacrifice and the sudden birth of Alpha Bastion and Alpha Miras' pup. Mira had spent the first week locked up in their room grieving. She would only come out to eat after Alpha Bastion insisted that she join their combining packs for dinner. She needed to eat so she could breastfeed their pup.At one point, she thought she was slipping into a state of depression, everytime she looked at her daughter whom they named, Emara, she felt absolutely nothing towards her. Not an ounce of love or disdain caressed her heart and she started to question herself if she was broken inside. In less than a year, she had lost both of her parents and found herself along the way and establish a family that she loved to bits. One day three weeks ago, she got out of bed early, had a shower, bathed Emara, wrapped her little bundle of joy up in a blanket, and took her sightseeing around their territory. The spring breeze swept a
After Mira had pushed out the placenta, Clove took the liberty to cut the umbilical cord herself. She looked at both Mira and Alpha Bastion.They were both distraught, dealing with their emotions differently. Mira sat on the bed, covered in sweat and she stared straight ahead with a blank look on her face. Alpha Bastion, stared at his lifeless pup in utter shock, his eyes glowed with glassy crimson rings. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it as he couldn't find the right words to say how he was feeling. But he did know that a large part of his heart shrivelled up and died. What was supposed to be a joyous moment, wasn't. He felt lost and blamed himself for not making sure the river was guarded every night since Daniel was exiled. But he wasn't to know that Daniel would become allies with Siren and her pack of bloodthirsty leeches, who then would cross the river and turn his life upside down! The smell of death hung heavy not only in the room but within Pack M
She watched as he ran as fast as he could through the wet meadow with her daughter and granddaughter in his arms. Those who rushed toward them, she flung across the meadow with a flick of her wrist. "Siren is dead." She hummed in a sing-song voice as she targeted her voice toward the Midnight Pack Warriors who refused to surrender. "The Corbette twins are dead too. If you want to live, I suggest you leave Pack Moon Stone immediately without a second glance or you will suffer miserably," She warned them in a foreboding tone that felt like a dozen needles piercing their eardrums.Almost abruptly, those that had shifted into their wolf form waited for the ones that were still in their human form to jump on their backs, and they ran through the wall of trees that led them back to the river they crossed. In the distance, she could hear her daughter writhing, panting and groaning in agony. She placed a trembling hand over her chest and looked up at the heavens where the Moon still sat hig
"NO!!!!" Jagger growled as he rushed toward Mira and he stepped in front of her.He used his body to shield hers and by doing so, Tober drove the blade of the sword through his back where it pierced his lung.Mira watched in shock as Tober withdrew the sword, blood splattered across her face and she caught Jagger in her arms, slowly collapsing onto the grass with him. "Why?" She asked him in a hushed tone that was filled with uncertainty. Jagger coughed, he lifted his hand to wipe the specks of blood that stained her brow away, and he managed to form a smile on one corner of his mouth."Because you don't deserve to die," he gasped for air. "You and your father... me and Tober... bad blood, innocence... I didn't know... You deserve to be happy," he breathed out erratically.Tears welled up in Miras' eyes. She knew there was a reason why she liked him, his soul was gentle but it was the kindness in his eyes every time they collided with hers that allowed her to let her guard down aro
Mira had intended to run to her mother's aid first. But as she saw Tober rushing toward her, she decided to stare death in the eye and she charged at him with the whip sword raised high above her head. A forbidding laugh departed her lips as he shifted into his wolf. If he thought that she would retreat, he was dead wrong. She had something to prove to him and his mother Siren. The timid rogue they once knew, no longer lives inside her like the intruder that it was. She screamed, bringing the sword down, Tober's wolf, Ink, leapt to the side, and he started to run circles around her. Mira stood tall, she widened her stance and kept her head facing forward. The tip of the sword was buried in the moist soil that was flooded with blood and rain. "I know you and your horrid mother sent a bounty after me. It must have pissed you both off to know that even a trained assassin failed to take my life." She breathed out as she closed her eyes and focused on his footsteps. "You failed. How
Mira groaned as pain dispersed across her cheek. She shook her head, gasping for air as Daniel wrapped his fingers around her neck and he started to squeeze them; cutting off her air supply.In a state of panic, she swung her arm, hitting him across the head with the handle of the whip sword. "Argh, fuck!" He groaned, releasing her as he touched the back of his head. She raised her leg in the air, twisted her body to the side and she pushed him off her before she got to her feet.Shaking her head, she staggered back a few steps and she saw Daniel rushing toward her once again, with a dangerous glint of murder pooling in his eyes. She swung the sword above her head, pressing the button on the leather-cladded handle which unleashed the whip, and she wrapped it around his neck. She pressed the button on the handle once again and the whip started to twist, it tightened around his neck until his head fell off. Blood spurted from his neck as his head rolled across the meadow. Dry reachi
Five months later...It had been five months since Beta Daniel had been stripped of his status and exiled from Pack Moon Stone.Gamma Marcus had carried out Alpha Bastions' orders, he had kept Daniel tied to the pole in the middle of the town for three days and out of spite, Mave made it rain with hail stones.They were the same-sized rocks she had seen in her vision of him striking Jenson with, and when they hit the ground next to him, they shattered like glass shards, slicing his flesh wide open. Each night, the Alpha King would heal him just so Mave could make him suffer again. Once the three days and nights were over, Gamma Marcus took it upon himself to recruit his five largest warriors, and they chased him out of Pack Moon Stone to the river that led to Midnight Packs territory.He was their problem now, and whatever they decided to do with him had nothing to do with Pack Moon Stone.So they had thought...Mira had rolled over onto her side, she reached for Bastion but was met
