Storm’s pov

Why did she have to look so fucking good?!

I gradually regained contact with Brand and Aaro. She was fucking nervous.

I couldn't concentrate on her, not after what Alpha Asher had said. Could it be fucking true or was he a liar like his daughter?

I had to admit that everything I had seen of the Iron River pack so far was how I would picture a perfect pack. They seemed to respect Alpha Asher, but no one seemed scared. Everyone was treated fairly and had a fucking choice. And they genuinely seemed happy. There was not a single happy person in our packhouse. Dad didn’t fucking care about happiness, only power. Mom was miserable, and everyone else was fucking terrified.

The only times I had been happy were when I was with Aaro.

"Cara?" I tried to mindlink the one person that I knew I could trust. But there was no fucking reply. Even if something happened to her, I wouldn’t have felt it because of the wolfsbane.

Who else?

"The omegas, Alpha Asher mentioned. They were always loya

now i need to go to bed! hope you enjoyed both chapter. my mother in law is coming over tomorrow. she's nice, but it's still a lot when she comes over. she always seems on edge when she's here, like she's scared I will snap. Years ago I got anxious when she suddenly stayed over longer than expected and when i explained this, it made her cry. I told her, it wasn't her. I'm not good with unexpected things, i need some time to adjust. since then she's walking on eggshells. I don't know why I'm telling you this, lol. But last time she actually waited outside, because she was early and didn't want to bother us. I mean, come on. Or time before she thanked me for allowing her to babysit. I am not that scary!

    Aaro’s povI had to tell him. I was done with lying. I had no fucking clue how he would respond, especially after hearing that his pack was taken from him, his mother was held hostage, and his best friend died."What?" Storm said, his voice suddenly sounding a lot fucking softer."I am pregnant. I haven’t done any ultra sound or test or anything, because I didn’t want to admit to myself that it was true. But you should know either way. No more fucking secrets.""I'll go," I sighed as Storm stared ahead. "I’m really sorry."Dad was waiting for me upstairs and held his arms out. "Do you want to talk?"I put my head against dad's chest and dad put his arms around me."They’re saying Storm is a traitor, and they’re holding his mother captive so he won’t come back. It's really fucking bad, dad; they murdered his best friend and one of the Omega women who assisted me.""If you want to help, we’ll help." Dad said. "He’s your mate.""I don't think he wants to be with me, dad," I shook my head.

    hi I get stressed related headaches, and I guess socializing with my mil was too much. ;) or it's pms. anyway, I've written half a chapter, but I can't finish it right now due to a massive headache.I'll go sleep now and hopefully be able to finish tomorrow.I know you aren't complaining, and you're always supportive. I just wanted to keep you updated, so you're not waiting for nothing. I also wrote the last 5 chapters without a clear plan, just letting my imagination lead, but now I have to tie it all together. So I'm to make a plan, but it isn't easy with my head pounding.

    Storm’s pov"Fuck. I shouldn’t have done that."I saw the look in Aaro’s face when she heard those words. I might regret having sex with her, but she didn’t. I couldn’t fucking get it. Why didn’t Aaro realize there was no fucking way in hell we could be together?It was like the Moon Goddess had set us up to fail.The more I thought about it, the more I agreed with my father. True mates were dangerous. I just lost fucking control. She smelt so damn good and she looked even better, and I couldn’t withstand our bond. But this couldn’t happen again.We didn’t say a word as we quickly cleaned up the office.We walked out, and a few people gave us some looks. They must have heard everything. Normally I wouldn’t give a fuck who heard me have sex with my mate, but things were different here. I was their enemy."Then why haven’t they treated you like one?" Brand asked. "You’re the one that still thinks in those black-and-white terms.""There isn’t a grey fucking area, Brand. There’s us and the

  • The Stolen Alpha   59. Aeryn's Mate

    Aaro’s pov"I think he does care," Kane said, but he hadn’t seen Storm for the last few weeks.Yeah, he had sex with me, but that didn’t mean shit. Storm obviously regretted it, and the stupid mate bond was probably too blame. I knew Storm wouldn’t accept our help and would leave as soon as possible. But I just wanted one fucking day with him.One day, I could pretend this was our life. I could be home and have Storm too. I wouldn't have to fucking choose. Not that I even had the choice of coming back; his pack would never accept me.We were enemies, and there was no future for us.It hurt to see the footage. I was hurt a lot fucking more than I realized, and so was Eve. When I was in it, it all happened so fast, but seeing it back, it actually took me a while to get up and get the knife."Can I show this to your dad?" Kane asked.I nodded my head; I had told dad what happened anyway. I had no clue where Storm had gone, but dad was in Kane’s office shortly after he mindlinked him.Kane

    Storm’s pov"She’s grown into a beautiful woman." A blond woman said when I walked out into the hallway."Who?""Aeryn. She reminds me of my mate, Kate. The same curls and the same pretty face hold so many thoughts and worries inside. Kate used to be so scared to talk, thinking she might come across as a smartass or that people would think she was weird. I guess for Aeryn, it’s that she had to hold so much in, scared to tell the truth."I sighed, "but how can you trust whatever the fuck comes out of their mouth if you know there’s so much more they're not saying?""It takes time. I think she’s already talking more freely; I assume she didn’t curse as much back at your pack." Sierra said with a sly smile.I laughed, "only when she was angry at me.""The Omari women are fierce, and the men can be intense, but I am glad to be part of the family."Aaro and her father came out of the office and invited me to join them for dinner, which I really didn’t want to attend, but the look in Aaro’s

    Aaro’s pov"Aeryn?" Mom asked, gently tapping my shoulder."He just left. He didn’t even say goodbye." I said softly."He’ll be back. I fucking know it." Mom replied, and she extended her hand, trying to get me to stand up."I don’t think he will."Mom smiled at me and gently touched my cheek, saying, "I’ve sent a lot of people home; it’s just our family now. Let’s get something to eat."I didn’t want to eat, but I didn’t want to be rude either. They held this party for Storm and for me. They had been so welcoming, and he just left. I should be mad, but I only felt sadness. I was sure this was it. I really thought it was over.Mom took my hand and walked with me to the table. Everyone was already seated, and they smiled at me. I didn’t want them to feel bad for me, and I could see they were trying hard to pretend not to pity me. I would have fucking bawled my eyes out if they had.Mom pulled a chair out for me next to her, and we sat down together."Is love supposed to be this fucking

  • The Stolen Alpha   62. Sorry

    Storm's pov I started running back, recognizing the different cities, forests and mountains I saw on the way over here. There were dead people in a lot of places, that had not been collected by their packs yet. This war was fucking brutal. Then at night, when the moon was high in the sky, I was mind-linked again. I almost replied, but I was distracted when a small wolf whimpered towards me. It looked badly hurt, and I heard other wolves fighting nearby. And the fucked up thing was, that I had no fucking desire to join the fight. I had always seen these people as my enemy. The Iron Alpha was a brutal killer and his pack needed to die. And now, I knew those people and I couldn’t kill their fucking soldiers. So, like a damn coward, I ran away from the fight. I knew it wouldn’t take me weeks to get home. Aaro took a long fucking way to get home. She got caught too, but it wasn’t just that. She had no sense of direction, and she had run in circles to avoid me sometimes. It would proba

    Aeryn’s pov Storm said my name. I didn’t hear shit after he said my name. It was the first fucking time he called me Aeryn and I didn’t know what to think. Did that mean he accepted me? Did it change anything? I mean, we were still stuck in this mess. I tried to keep my voice from breaking, although I knew he must sense what I was feeling through the bond. This conversation needed to end, so I could fucking think. Or cry. I wasn’t fucking sure at this point. He mind-linked me, instead of waiting for me to reach out. He fucking cared. Ugh, I fucked up. Why did I even mind-link him every night? It was only going to make things harder. What were we going to do? Never be together and just talk every night. I wanted more. I wanted a life with Storm. I cried myself to sleep, wishing he was here and feeling fucking guilty about it. I couldn’t ask Storm to abandon Eve there and just come back. I couldn’t ask him to give his pack up for me. He was the fucking Alpha. I woke up after barel

    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.

    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

    hi! 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

  • The Stolen Alpha   125. Memories

    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

  • The Stolen Alpha   124. Famished

    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
