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
