Chapter Fifteen
(Trey POV)
“Alpha Wilder.” I nod my head fighting wrinkling my nose at the lingering smell of sex in the room.
Within seconds he is up and in front of me pulling me into a hug being careful not to crush the little one in my arms. He pulls away and just looks at me, his eyes going from mine to my mates. When he finally steps back I speak, “Alpha this is my mate Beth. Beth, this is Alpha Wilder.” She simply nods in true Beth fashion not hiding the distaste in her face at the mention of the Alpha. He gives her a puzzled look but shakes his head dismissively. I get up and go sit next to her shifting the pup into her lap wrapping my arm around her to relieve some of her unease. Wilder takes a seat in the chair I just left.
Chapter Sixteen(Spencer POV)Dear Moon Goddess, please let them be safe. Let them have gotten away and be getting help. Please let my family be safe. I repeat this prayer over as I lay huddled in the corner trying to recover from my last round of torture. I strain to hear as much as I can from the conversations of those guarding my cell, afraid to even sleep because I may miss something important. The rogues that watch the cell aren’t the strange rogues they used to attack us.“Jasper will be here in 2 days.” Jasper?“He’s gonna be pissed when he sees her.”“Well the Bitch should have quit fighting us. Hopefully she will heal enough even with t
Chapter Seventeen(Izaiah POV)I blink my eyes open and confusion fills my mind as I see I am sitting in a beautiful forest with all the pain in my body gone.“Hello Izaiah.” I jump at the sound at the woman's voice and turn in the direction it came and see a beautiful older woman stepping out“It’s good to see you again, Goddess. Is she safe?”“You too Izaiah. Soon Izaiah she will be soon. I never knew when I assigned you to assist her a love like the two of you have would grow. I have never seen such a love between two wolves that weren’t true mates. Even those that choose mates do not love like you too. There could possibly have only been one
Chapter Eighteen(Wilder POV)Olivia, Christian and Mason have agreed to meet me and Paxton with our Beta’s at the old packhouse between Riverbend and Golden Moon as that is where those that have arrived are staying so they are protected easily by both packs. Approximately 20 wolves have come to fight not including their mates and pups that they had brought with them. I have observed them training the last 2 days and I am beginning to think that when Trey said many weren’t trained he was talking about the pups and the women that chose not too. From what I had seen they were incredible. I have learned so much from the short time they have been here, they do not call themselves the free wolves, they are the Guardian Pack.Elena and Rosa have been interacting with them more
Chapter Nineteen(Wilder POV)The door to the room opens and my sister and Dr. Alex join us in the living room. "I have done the best that I can. She should be fine. Her wolf is weak so it maytake her longer to heal."“Thank you Dr. Alex." Trey states."Thank you so much." I add.The doctor leaves and the room seems still." Trey, why don't you go sit with her? I'm going to go down to where the pups are with the Beta. I'm sure Finn is worried. I think they need time alone." Beth gestured to all of us in the living room.Zander is anxious he wants to be in the room with her
Chapter Twenty(Spencer POV)I feel myself becoming conscious and Lilly stretching in my mind and yawning obviously tired from healing us. ‘I’m sorry Lil I shouldn’t have shifted it, put added stress on you and we weren’t ready.’‘It’s fine 3.5 legs are better than 1.5 and it was safer for Alpha Christian and Alpha Mason. But Pen when you wake up can you promise me something?’‘Anything.’‘Be patient and kind.’‘I’m always patient and kind.’She snorts ‘this will be harder. I need to rest now.’
Chapter Twenty One(Spencer POV) We have just entered the office at the spare pack house and everyone is finding somewhere to sit but I pace nervously before turning toward Elena who stands close to Wilder. “I am so sorry.” My voice breaks. A scoff comes from Wilder. “ I mean it, I didn't know that the pup could become a hybrid werewolf vampire. Please don’t blame the putp it was my fault. It’s my fault I’ll take her.” My voice panickedThree growls erupt in the room and before I have time to process what is happening the others are struggling to hold Wilder and the two beta’s back screaming they don’t understand.“They love her, Spence!” Olivia shouts.
Chapter Twenty Two (Wilder POV) When she said those words I knew she meant no harm and seeing Elena and Rosa come aggressive I fought to get to Spencer to protect her from any harm they may cause. I know by the reaction of the others they thought I was struggling to attack her and I eased. Her words had cut through me like a knife and every time she spoke about her mate I wanted to scream ‘mine’ but I attempted to keep my composure. All of this could mean one thing, she was still my mate, my second chance. Though that filled me with hope it also destroyed me as it was obvious she could not feel the bond. This was my punishment for rejecting her without a chance. I could now feel the bond, though slight and she could not. She was mated to another as I had done by my own decision and I silently prayed to the moon goddess for the to
Chapter Twenty-Three(Unknown POV) I have been watching them for the last week as ordered and they have never even noticed my eyes on them. It’s not difficult for me to keep hidden but to not act every time I see her is another challenge all in itself but I have to stay strong. I want to destroy everything that she loves and watch her self-destruct but Master says it isn’t time to end her yet. He says we still need her so I fight the urge bubbling up inside me. She ruined everything I had plans, and she took it all away from me. Before she was even born she was ruining everything I ever had planned and soon I would get to taste the sweetness of revenge. It would not be fast, it will be slow and del
I slipped so far from who I used to be, who I was supposed to be. I was once a hybrid that wanted nothing but the betterment of his people and those of the werewolves. I sacrificed my father and oldest brother to obtain the goal and unfortunately sacrificed my vampire half and my memories. Memories lost of her, my mate that was killed by the King’s men before I can fully claim her. My anger and burning need for revenge is what causes me to keep up this facade of loyalty until I find the right time to strike. Chapter One (Sebastian) I am trying to complete some work prior to the wolves arriving for the training. I begrudgingly offered my pack for the future Alpha, Beta and Gamma training camp for the next month. I say begrudgingly because it came at the request of the king himself and as much as I would like to have said no however, it is a good opportunity for me to scope out the new leaders of packs that I may be up against. I let out a loud breath as I look at the picture on my
Chapter Sixty Three(Spencer POV) I feel him hardening still deep inside me and I rock my hips a moan escaping my mouth. My hands fist in his hair bring his mouth to mine and I nip at his bottom lip and he grants me entrance into his mouth. Our tongues fight for dominance wanting to taste and explore each other's mouths. I quickly relinquish dominance admitting to him and myself that he is My Alpha. I continue to grind my hips into him as he slides his length in and out of me. The feeling of stretching around him as he creates friction within my pussy has my eyes rolling back in my head. “More…Please Wilder…more” He knew exactly what he needed. He sat up on his knees, never pulling all the way out of me, his hands trailing down over my legs, hooking them on my calves and placing both my legs on his shoulders. He leaned forward, thrusting into me harder. “So fucking good, tight, wet just perfection.” He reached up with his right hand and began to play with my hardened nipple. The or
Chapter Sixty Two(Paxton POV) I collapse to my knees, my hands covering my face sobbing when I spot Sylvia walking into the clearing. My legs are unable to hold me up as disbelief and overwhelming joy fills me as I catch sight of my mate. She reaches me, her scent surrounding me as she sinks down on the ground in front of me and takes my hands in hers pulling them from my face. Tingles run through my body where our skin touches. I launch myself at her, wrapping my arms around her and clutching to her with everything that I am. “I’m here, Pax. I am home and I am not leaving.” I let out a sigh at her words realizing that I have also been filled with fear that she would leave again. I have so many questions but I won’t waste this time to ask them. I cup her face and kiss her the way that I have wanted for so long. She tastes just like the memories that have haunted me for years. I could never look at another the way I had looked at her. I know the elders had wanted for us all to c
Chapter Sixty One(Wilder POV)Around 5 Years Later So much has changed in all these years. The vampires and werewolves live mostly in peace. A surprising number of the vampires have been mated to werewolves. There were so many that we had to hold a large mating ceremony because individual ones would have taken months. There had been hesitation on both sides to accept their mates as they had lived separately for so long. Living as enemies but with the acceptance and encouragement of those of higher rank slowly but surely the bonds grew. Reestablishing the packs and combining some sadly took over a year. There is a different hierarchy now and despite what I thought most didn’t oppose. Golden Moon is the ruling pack now, I will soon become the King. The Guardian Pack is just that, the pack that guards all others. They are the Kings guard. I rule over all the other packs but I am the High Alpha of Golden Moon and them. Alpha’s have been designated for other packs but overall I am a ro
Chapter Sixty(Wilder POV) The sun is high in the sky when I finally untangle myself from my pups and the love of my life and venture out into the living room. I take in the faces out there, their red eyes and tear stained cheeks but more than the faces out there I take in those that are missing. I rush to my sister who is crouched next to the sofa rubbing Erik’s sleeping head as tears still stream down. When I near her she stands and throws herself into my arms. “Bug?” “It hurts so much. He’s gone Wilder. Christian is gone.” Her legs give out and I guide her to the ground where I just hold her as we both cry. I look up at Trey who is looking down at me sadly. He must read the question in my eyes because he speaks. “We won but we lost so much more. Ezekiel, Aria, Sylvia.” Paxton lets out a strangled sob from the doorway he was entering before turning and leaving. “Monica.” The names go on and each is like a stab wound to my heart. So many people I loved are gone. “Christian, he wa
Chapter Fifty Nine(Wilder POV) I’d been wandering through the woods for a while when I saw her sitting there on the ground with her eyes closed tightly and I was confused. She looks like a dream in her linen dress, sitting cross legged, running her hands through dirt and grass. I had been in these woods before and I had expected to see my parents and family to share some comforting words but instead I found her. When she said that I was here to say goodbye. That I wasn’t dead it took long seconds for what she said to sink in. If I’m not dead but we are here to say goodbye that can only mean one thing. The memory floods me as I hold her to me. The sound of her voice in my mind, the words that she spoke. My weak attempt to fight accepting her gift. A betrayal begins to creep in, not betrayal at her and her leaving but betrayal at myself. I don’t know how long we stay there holding each other crying before my voice finally finds me. “You saved me? You sacrifice yourself for me. Wh
Chapter Fifty Eight(Spencer POV) Pain rips through me, that's what happens when the soul is ripped from the body. For most it lasts the briefest of moments not even registering to the person that it has happened. But for me, because of what I am, who I am, the pain seems never ending. I can feel the soft grass below me vaguely with my eyes clenched closed, my body curled into a ball, my hands clutching at my chest at the memories of how I ended up like this flash through my mind. I’m fighting with the King trying desperately to end him and get to my grandfather and end this all. I keep sight of Wilder fighting in my peripheral vision as he attempts to take down my grandfather and his lackeys. My patience is slipping and it’s time I channel Lily and let her help me. I know I can’t shift anymore but I can still feel her there in the very back of my mind. It is something that I have tried really hard to hide. I was happy when she didn’t truly leave me but I have felt on edge these las
Chapter Fifty Seven(Wilder POV) I wake up in a tent lit only by a lantern with pain working its way through my body. I feel my back breaking and a scream leaves my throat. I see three she wolves rush into the room. I instantly recognize Luna Astrid, Athena and the pack doctor. Another snap in my femur has me screaming, “What’s happening to me?” “You need to quit fighting it.” Astrid states. My knee cap displaces and I curl up in a ball. “Fighting what?” “You're shifting. First time in a long time.” Astrid’s words make sense as I haven’t felt pain like this since my first shift. My eyes find Athena who has tears in hers. “What are you doing here?” “Helping.” She replies before coming to before biting her wrist and placing it to my mouth. “Drink, I'm a royal, it will help with the pain.” I merely look at her. “Do it!” Astrid shouts as another wave of pain hits me. I do as instructed and latch my mouth to her wrist and take a drink of her blood and the pain subsides by half. I t
Chapter Fifty Six(Spencer POV) It’s been a week since that scream ripped from my lungs, the sudden onset of pain too painful to hold in. I had maneuvered through the previous pain willing myself not to give anything away but that went out the window a week ago. My grandfather hasn’t given me a moment alone since then. I expect him to grill me and try to find out what happened even though I suspect that he knows. However, he seemed pleased when I asked to bump up my union ceremony with the King. So tomorrow I will finish this union and with a new plan in mind I head down to the dining hall. There are several members already in the dining hall. I really have to fight a grimace when I see Landery seated at the head of the table with Mira at his side. It turns out that Landery was supposed to be my chosen but at the last second changed his mind and took Mira as his chosen, even though they hadn’t completed the bonding. It seemed odd to me since she had always followed my grandfather
