Aaro

And what if what I wanted was my freedom? I said to myself.

I loved how sweet he was. I loved how he planned these dates, really thinking about what I wanted and what I liked. He was the sweetest fucking guy I had ever met, which wasn’t really saying much since I hadn’t seen any men since I was six.

But still, I knew in my heart that he was okay. He was a good person, despite his fucking awful father.

Tomorrow would be my birthday, and despite thinking about escaping this pack for a week, I hadn’t done shit to actually do it. It was fucking hard to escape, but I think part of me gave up, and I hated myself for it.

I wanted to be near Storm, but I knew this couldn’t last. So what the fuck was I to do? Go through with the marking and then eventually reject Storm? Could I do that to him? To myself?

I had no fucking clue what to do, but I knew that whatever happened tomorrow, I wanted to spend this night with Storm.

"Aaro, are you okay?" Storm asked.

"I know what I want." I said. "I w

So, sometimes I plan thing, but often times I just start writing and I end up somewhere. I didn't plan how they would find out they were mates, although I did plan for them to be mates. Anyway. I though the whole situation is so messed up, they wouldn't be happy about being mates. it would cause some conflict. especially since Storm is falling hard and Aaro is holding back. So sorry if you wanted it to be really romantic. but this felt more appropriate. Let me know what you think and thank you for reading.

I think you were right the way you handled it. Storm's father will try to kill her and he's going to find out her. What a shitshow. Can't wait.

  • The Stolen Alpha   26. Mark

    Storm’s povMaybe I should have asked her about using a condom, but I was in the fucking moment and I didn’t think it would matter. We were going to be mates and she would become the mother of my kids. That was the plan, right?In our pack, women and men have roles to play. We provide, and they bear children. Okay, I know it sounds fucking ancient, but it’s not like women aren’t allowed to work. Our whole house is filled with women who are omegas. But certain jobs aren’t meant for women, like soldier or, well, alpha or any leadership position. We are meant to protect, and while I would prefer to see things differently in my pack, this is how things are. Maybe in time I will be able to change it, but we will never be like our enemies. Rules are necessary or we'll lose control like the Iron River pack, which let rogues inside who did whatever the fuck they wanted.Brand didn’t agree. I could feel it."Do you honestly think your system works? By denying women the ability to learn how to d

    Aaro’s pov"Are you okay, Aaro?" Eve asked, pulling me inside the packhouse."I am okay." I lied. What the fuck was I going to tell her?"You’re not, Aaro. Can you tell me what happened? What did Storm do?"I turned to face her, "Storm marked me. It would happen anyway, but he caught me by surprise. I got upset and then I shifted."Suddenly, a voice behind me reminded me of my reality even more. "Aaro? Did you just say Storm marked you? No, this will throw off the entire ceremony I’ve planned. Come with me; we need to get you ready.""Ruby, can’t you see she’s upset?" Eve said."It’s Luna Ruby, and did you forget the rules? You are not to address me at all, Eve. So go now, before I make things even harder for you." Luna Ruby said in a calm voice, while her eyes told a totally different story. I could see now why Storm hated Ruby so much—there was something evil about her."It’s fine, Eve." I said. "Thank you for helping me."Eve gave me a quick hug, and she walked away, mumbling someth

  • The Stolen Alpha   28. Ceremony

    Storm’s pov After Aaro and Mam walked inside, I waited a while before entering the packhouse. "You marked her?! You’re ruining the entire ceremony. I will do some damage control, but you’d better not tell your father." Ruby’s annoying voice said, mindlinking me. "Fuck off." "You mate hate me, but I am protecting you both. You know how your father reacts when things don’t go his way." Ruby replied. "Fine. I’ll keep my mouth shut. Now fuck off." I walked up to my room, feeling everything Aaro was feeling, and it was so fucking overwhelming. She wasn’t just angry; she was hurt and determined. She was feeling so many things at once, and I knew I could try to block her feelings off, but I deserved whatever she was feeling. I fucking messed up, and one way or another, I would fix it. And I would start tonight. I tried to work, tried to do something to make me feel better, but nothing seemed to fucking work. Around lunch, I felt Aaro getting hungrier, and I sent that woman, Samantha,

    Aaro’s pov"Are you ready?" Storm asked me, and he took my hand in his.My first instinct was to remove my hand, but we were going inside a fucking party, and no matter how angry I was, I didn’t want to do this alone. Besides, if I made a scene, it would only cause more trouble.Alpha Lex slapped me. He bitch-slapped the shit out of me, and I couldn’t do a damn thing about it. Of course he would blame me for whatever Storm decided, even though I was just as surprised by Storm’s action as he was.He fucking kneeled before me in front of very important people and asked if he could be mine. That was the exact fucking opposite of what Alpha Lex and Ruby said should happen. Part of me really fucking loved seeing everyone’s faces. Storm should bow down to me; they all should. I am a fucking Alpha too."So cocky." Delta joked. But she knew I wasn’t. I was nervous, petrified about what Storm’s mark meant and what people in this room could do if they found out who I was. I know I’m meant for gr

    Storm’s povWe had trackers and spies in many neutral packs, trying to sneak a peek into the enemy’s land. We knew the Iron Alpha Pack and its allies were up to something. They were getting ready for something big. They were training more and meeting regularly.It was a damn shame that they had good cyber security because the IT guys who work for CLAW could never get into their system.I never met the Iron Alpha, but I knew Alpha Asher was fucking dangerous. His dad, Alpha Osiris, was known to be a ruthless killer, but he turned into a softie after meeting his mate and allowed rogues inside his pack. Not to mention all the halfbloods and same-sex couples. I mean, to each their own, but I couldn’t imagine what their pack looked like. It must have been a fucking mess.When Alpha Osiris’ beta was shot, he put the pack on lockdown. Not even allowing his allies to enter. I mean, my dad built a fucking fortress to keep everyone out, but dad only cared about his own safety.Then his son, Ashe

    Aaro’s povStorm couldn’t fix this. He might have more power than me, but he too was stuck in this fucked up system. He too was stuck in his role as the future Alpha, and he had to play the part or Alpha Lex would hurt me or Eve.I had blamed Storm for losing control and marking me, but when I got angry, I did the same thing. I got angry, and I commanded him to have sex with me."Like he would have refused if you had asked nicely?" Delta said.But that wasn’t the point. I was angry for him not asking my permission, and then I didn't ask him shit, I just told him to fuck me. It was the only thing I could think of that would make me feel better. Either have sex or beat the shit out of Storm, and I think we both preferred the first option.I cried against Storm’s chest, and he held me until I calmed down. It was so confusing to feel his emotions and mine at the same time. It was hard sometimes to tell them apart. Especially when we had sex. He wanted me as much as I did, and it only made

    Storm’s povI arrived at my dad’s office thirty minutes later. It was too fucking hard to leave Aaro, especially when she took all of her clothes off and invited me into the shower when we went back to our room.Goddess, Aaro was going to think sex never lasted longer than fifteen minutes. We have had sex four times now, and each time, I couldn’t even switch positions before coming. The way she felt, she smelled, fuck, everything about Aaro turned me on. I promised myself that tonight I would show her what sex with me was really like. Not just a quick fuck because dad was waiting; not angry sex. Something similar to the first time we had sex, only this time I didn’t need to hold back because I was scared of hurting her."So you mean, you’re going to make love to our mate?" Brand teased me, and I let him. I was in a good mood, and so was he.That good mood couldn’t even be ruined by the scowl on my dad’s face or the words that came out of his mouth."You’re late; it’s because of her, is

    Aaro’s povThe rest of the week, I woke up with Storm, trained with him, followed Ruby around, and when I was free, I’d either spend my time with Eve learning Dutch or with Storm learning new positions in the bedroom. We wouldn’t just spend time in the bedroom, though, although I wouldn’t mind it if we did. The whole fucking world would disappear when it was just me and Storm.I've been here for two weeks now, and things are good, which is fucking bad. Because the longer I spent with Storm, the more I fell for him. Every time he touched me, it felt fucking amazing, and the way he looked at me made my heart skip a beat."What’s going on inside that head of yours, krullebol?" Storm asked, pulling me close.Today was his day off, and we were going to do something fun, but he didn’t tell me what.I smiled at him, and I hated how much I still had to lie."Did I tell you I fucking love you today?" Storm said, and he gave me a kiss that would knock any sane person off their feet.I hadn’t sai

    I listened to your suggestions and decided to make the first chapter from Argo's pov so we can learn a bit mroe about the pack etc. Hope you like it. As usual none of what I'm writing is set in stone, things can change this early in the process. So i love to hear your input. Argo’s pov "I’ve talked with mom, and we both agree it would be a great idea if you both went to spend summer break at the Blood Rock Pack." Dad said to me and my brother. "You’re fucking joking." There was no way in hell I was leaving right now. Things with Hazel were just starting to look up. Why both Isaac and I fell for the same girl is beyond me. He never liked the same type of girl as I did. He wanted to be intellectually stimulated, whatever the fuck that meant. Isaac is a nerd, but he’s my best friend. Me, my twin brother Airk, and Isaac form an unbreakable bond. We were raised together and lived in the same house for years. But now a girl has gotten in between us. Thank the fuck, I don’t have to wor

    Mila’s povI was seven when I left here. Mom hadn’t been back here; it had been too painful, but I wanted to support my big brother. He was trying to do something good, and the pack was doing a lot better than it was before he took over.Alpha Brax, I laughed to myself. Our father had been adamant about naming Brax after himself. Braxton. And now, Brax never used his full name. Where Brax was kind, funny, and compassionate, Dad had been mean, selfish, and brutal.Our father had this idea that women were less than men, and he was so threatened by the idea of a female alpha that he hired someone to kill Alpha Aeryn when she was six. Yeah, I wasn’t kidding when I called him brutal.Who in their right mind pays someone to kill a little girl?!But Daddy Dearest was double-crossed, and they never killed Aeryn. Instead, they took her and her sister and sold them to a school. The same school where my mom was bought from. The whole thing was so messed up that it could fill a whole book. But tha

    - - Prologue - - THREE YEARS AGOBrax’s pov"So, can I have a hug to say goodbye?" Airk asked me."Sure," I replied, opening my arms. Airk moved his small frame towards mine and placed his head against my chest."I’ll miss you."It felt right to hold him, but it shouldn’t. Airk was only fifteen, and I was eighteen and unmated. Perhaps in time we would find out we were mates, but speculating about future mates is something my mother always warned me about.At the White Claw pack where I grew up after we left home, it wasn’t allowed to speculate about mates. You weren’t permitted to date anyone without a wolf, once you turned eighteen, either. You wouldn’t want to risk someone falling for you before they met their true mate.Of course, people still dated in secret, but it was much easier to get my freak on once I turned eighteen six months ago. I had experimented with whoever seemed interesting. I didn’t want to limit myself to just one gender; I could find something attractive in almos

    Storm’s povLooking at my daughter fight filled me with so much fucking pride. I still remember how little training Aeryn had when I met her."No training," Brand reminded me. When Aeryn was brought to our pack, she had no idea how to defend herself properly, but that didn’t mean she didn’t try. Fuck, that woman of mine was strong even then, but I had watched her grow to become one of the best Alphas I had ever met.We trained Nivia and Forrest from an early age. It started as just wrestling and playing, but moved into more when they got older. Forrest was strong and tall, but his big sister could still beat his ass.That’s why today, a day before her eighteenth birthday, Nivia was sparring with her grandpa Asher. While Osiris was still strong and impressive, it wouldn’t be fair to let an eighteen-year-old spar against a guy who was almost seventy. Cyrus was even older, but Nivia had been able to beat him by the time she was ten. Osiris was still fucking good-looking, though; he just g

I'm in the car right now on the way to Disneyland Paris, and I had this idea in my head. so it is a rough draft, but wanted to get your input. i have most of the story figured out for airk and brax. but Argo not yet. he'll have a love-hate relationship with Mila, but that's all I got, lol.also still need a title.Brax's pov“Can’t they come another time?” I asked my beta Elora.“No, they have summer break now, and they haven’t seen me in months. I don’t get your problem anyway. You used to get along just fine.” Elora replied, raising her eyebrow.I loved my beta like a little sister, but she was way too observant sometimes and really noisy.‘You can tell her,’ my wolf Hudson advised, but I ignored him.Elora is the sister of our ally, Alpha Aeryn, and has two brothers. A set of twins that couldn’t be any different. They looked differently, they acted differently, and they loved different genders. While Argo was a womanizer, his brother Airk had come out as gay at a young age.I w

    Aeryn’s pov"It’s going to be okay, Aeryn."I rolled my eyes at my mate. "Really? You’re not the one that has to push that big ass head out of your dick!"Nivia was average size; she wasn’t small, but she was nothing like this baby. He was tall like his dad, and he had the big fucking head of his dad too. I was sure he was going to be a giant like Storm.Storm chuckled, and I raised my eyebrow. "Do you think it’s a good idea to laugh now? While I’m in labor? Think really fucking carefully about your answer, Storm, because I already hate you a bit right now."Storm got behind me and started massaging my back. "I know, krullebol. And you’re doing so well. You’re so beautiful, and you’re the best fucking Alpha and mother I know.""Flattery doesn’t work either," I growled, but I did enjoy the massage."You can push now," the doctor said after a few hours, and I wanted to say something snarky, but the pain was so intense that I was unable to speak.I just prayed to the fucking goddess that

    THREE YEARS LATERWhile being called "mommy" by Nivia is still my favorite name, being called another name came pretty fucking close."Alpha, how great to invite us!" An alpha I had not met before said, while looking directly at Storm and not me.Storm and I had encounters like this many times before, where they assumed he was the alpha and not me, and over the years we had developed an appropriate reaction.I would reel in my aura until one of those fuckers misspoke, and then Storm would say, "I am not the Alpha; she is. Meet Alpha Aeryn."And I would let all my alpha aura go, almost making it hard to breathe for the misogynistic fool.But I was 5 months pregnant with my baby boy by now, and my aura wasn’t as strong as usual, so instead I just let Storm have some fun.Storm growled at the alpha. "This is Alpha fucking Aeryn of the Iron River pack. You know, the one you’re currently visiting. Show some fucking respect before going to another pack and do your fucking research. And now f

    Aeryn’s pov"Mommy!" Of all the names I had been called before, "Mommy" was the most special to me. Especially when it was being said by the cutest little three-year-old running towards us.Naturally, she had to hug Daddy first, being Daddy's little girl, but then I had Nivia's full attention. She told me all about the week she had while we were away. Apparently she had spent time with all her grandparents and great-grandparents; she had gone to the farm, had art class with Grandma Lily, and mom had given her some fun, colorful hairclips so she could look like her. Mom loved to rock different colors in her hair every month.It made me feel less guilty knowing how well taken care of she had been. This had been my first time away, but being an alpha meant I would be gone more often. And while I am aware that there is no substitute for parental love, the rest of my family came pretty damn close.Storm and I decided to give Riker the reigns for today and spend the whole day with our little

    Storm’s povWe helped Brax and Elora for a few days, helping to bury the dead and fix any damage that had been done. Brax hadn't decided on a gamma yet, but he wanted me, Aeryn, and Rayan to spend a few days with the soldiers and see if we could start them on a new training program. Alpha Ari offered to have his gamma help out over the next few weeks as well.As much as we enjoyed helping Brax and Elora, Aeryn and I were both fucking eager to go home and see our daughter. This had been the longest we had been away from here, and while we got updates daily and short phone and video calls, it wasn’t the fucking same.I missed her scent and her little hands grabbing my hand when she wanted to show me something. Fuck, having Nivia in my life made me even angrier thinking about what Aeryn, Elora, and all the other girls at the school went through.Nivia is three, and that was the age at which Elora was taken. I would burn the fucking world down to find her, just like Asher had done.Having
