still have a headache and I am going to my youngest school right now to help bake pancakes. and then to speech therapy. But luckily I had some time to finish this chapter. let me know what you think.
Storm’s povI have always loved a good fight, and while I didn’t enjoy inflicting pain as much as my father, I didn’t fucking mind violence. We were wolves, and violence was a part of our nature. But this wasn’t how wolves should be behaving.I had never seen a fight of this scope, unless you count fucking movies. I don’t remember there ever being more packs fighting against each other than right now. I knew now that what Asher had done was only the flame that lit the fuse. There had been a fuckload of trouble brewing before that.There was so much hate and unrest for years before this started; we were destroying each other, and all the joy I would usually get from a good fight was replaced with repulsion at how our species had gotten so far away from what we were supposed to be.I knew in my heart that there was no way in fucking hell that the Moon Goddess had this in mind when she created us.I tried to keep things light when I spoke to Aeryn, but the longer I was fighting and the lo
Aeryn’s povThe video seemed to help. I didn’t think my words would do anything; honestly, I thought seeing the girls from the school would have a bigger impact. But from what I heard from Aunt Kat, there had been marches in some of the enemy pack by women, demanding more rights and equal treatment.I was focused on training and making sure Crystal knew she was safe. I wasn’t used to having this many people care about me or this many people that I cared about. I had to make sure I spent time with my sister, with Eve, with Samantha, with my mom and grandmas, and with Grandpa Cy. Then there were some of the girls from the school who wanted to talk to me about everything. It was a fucking lot compared to what life had been like before.But if I was going to be an alpha one day, I needed to get used to people wanting my attention and juggling several things at once. Especially because I wouldn’t just be an Alpha; I’d be a fucking mother and a mate. If dad could be an alpha and still be the
Zayn’s pov"Didn’t you hear the alarm? We’re under attack!" I told Eve, who was walking around looking confused."I did, but I seem to have forgotten where to go. They told me, but I don’t remember." She looked confused. Beautiful, but broken.I should know; I’m broken too.I was planning to join the fight. My son was now in the gamma, and he declined my request to join the war, telling me I wasn’t in the right headspace. I had worked for decades as a tracker; I was his damn father, and now he told me I couldn’t fight!What was I supposed to do? Sit in our home by myself, being reminded of Talia every day? Everything we owned, we had picked out together. Everything still smelled like her. We were supposed to retire together and finally have time together that we didn’t have before.I was gone a lot on missions, and she was the gamma, which meant she was always on call. When we did have time together, we spent it with our kids, and that didn’t leave much time for just the two of us.But
Storm’s povI never thought I’d actually choose a hot shower and a nap over having sex with my mate, but after the week I had, I needed rest and comfort. Besides, despite Aeryn’s clear desire, I was pretty fucking sure once she realized the layers of blood, dirt, and sweat on my body, she would think a shower was the better fucking option as well. She had missed me, and fuck, had I missed her.That didn’t mean I wasn't still pissed. I know it’s probably hard not being able to fight when she’s finally allowed to, but caring for our child is so fucking important. I could never do what she’s doing right now; it takes a different kind of strength to grow a baby inside your fucking body.But seeing how she ripped Alpha Benjamin’s heart out was fucking cool, I had to admit that. I wouldn’t tell her right now, though, because I needed Aeryn to realize she couldn’t just go off and fight.Brand chuckled inside my head. "You actually think Aeryn will do anything you tell her to?"It was fucking
Aeryn’s povThere was a sense of relief coming from Storm when he entered the packhouse with Eve, and I knew my words had the desired effect. As much as I understood Storm's need to protect her, what Eve needed right now was to know she was allowed to make her own choices. That she was free to do what she wanted for once in her fucking life.I had no clue what was going on between Zayn and Eve, but I did know that if Storm protested, Eve would probably give up before there was even a chance of anything happening. She would do anything for Storm, I had seen how selfless she had been for her child, but it was her turn to be selfish for once."Something did happen, or Storm wouldn't have lost it." Delta stated. I didn’t see what happened, but whatever happened came as no surprise to me. They had this chemistry between them that was fucking awkward at times but very noticeable. It surprised me that it took Storm this long to see it.Storm’s eyes found mine, and he had a look of determinati
Hi! I will start writing Chapter 79 after this, but I got carried away. I wrote one chapter for the idea I had. I don't have a name, but I can share what it's about. It's about a girl named Isodora (Izzy) who runs away from home to escape the future alpha, Jordan. A prophecy says she'll be the luna of their pack one day, so she's forced to be with Jordan.She stays with humans at a motel where Orion works.He used to live with his mother at the motel until she suddenly disappeared, and he was raised by foster parents. When he turned eighteen, he had a mental breakdown and attacked his foster dad, ending up in prison and a psychiatric hospital. He hears a voice inside his head, claiming he's a werewolf, and he takes medicine to drown out the voice. When he gets out, no one wants to hire him except the woman from the motel.Izzy and Orion fall in love, and she wants to tell him the truth, but when she does, he's convinced it's part of his delusion. The next day she's gone, taken back by
Storm’s pov"Are you on your way back?" Asher asked me."Yeah, I’m just heading out now." I replied, fucking hating that I had to leave Aeryn again.Asher’s next words surprised me: "take Aeryn with you.""What the fuck? I thought we had decided it wasn’t safe for her to fight. I know she did well fighting Alpha Benjamin, but that doesn’t fucking mean I want to put her or our baby at risk right now."Asher laughed, and I almost wanted to growl at the fucker, but he was still the alpha and my father-in-law."I don’t want her to fight, Storm. While you were gone, more enemy packs left the battlefield. There is only a small group of packs left, and they’ve asked for a meeting. I’d like you and Aeryn to be there.""Well, fuck, why didn’t you say that in the first place?" I scoffed, which made Asher laugh even more. Apparently the fucker liked to give me a hard time."Or the thought of peace makes him happy." Brand suggested, which could be true, because the idea of not having to leave Aery
Aeryn’s pov"You better stop saying such fucking nice things or you’ll make me cry." I said, mindlinking Storm."They’re fucking true, though. You deserve to be treated like the rest of us."I knew half of the men didn’t agree with Storm, but that didn’t matter to me right now. The people who meant something to me agreed, and they all bowed their heads towards me, showing they respected me. An Alpha bowed to no one, and them bowing to me was too fucking much.I quickly wiped away a few tears and took a sip of water, making the lump in my throat disappear.I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down and turned to those who refused to bow their heads to me, saying, "no matter what you think of me, you must have noticed a shift inside your pack. If you don’t want to listen to me, that’s fine, but listen to the members of your pack. Your mates, sisters, daughters, and mothers aren’t satisfied with how they are being treated. Many lives have been lost due to this war, and you will need yo
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
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
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
