The afternoons in his office have me too much time to think, I wondered what we were doing here, if I was in danger it didn’t feel like it, but it didn’t feel like I fit in here either. He was removed from me since the other night, almost like he was walking on eggshells around me, when it should be the other way around. The only comfort I had was that he coexisted with me at all, and that supper would soon come and relieve some of the awkward silences between us.
I’d get to eat supper with Kallan, Eathen, Elle, and his Gamma, Nicholi. Nicholi was around Eathen's height and build, with short sandy brown hair, and the same kind of deep blue eyes that Eathen had. The three of them looked terrifying together, all riddled with scars and tattoos spreading over the

I instantly regretted what I said, I knew who, there was only one person he would be asking me about. His stare intensified and I could feel the waves of emotions rippling through me as his lips parted.“He has a mate out there somewhere,” I cut him off hurrying my words. He was finally willing to have this conversation with me and I almost ruined it. I was fully awake now, trying to tread carefully as we continued.“Do… you… love… him…” he repeated slowly.As I stared annoyingly at him, something twinged in my stomach, and I spoke in a hushed but assertive tone, “No.”He got up from his chair and walked so slowly to me that I didn't dare assume what was about to happen. I was both terrified and excited. Echo was pacing and begging me to make contact, he reached out and lifted my chin slightly, sending those sparks I longed from down my body, as he studied my face.“Would you lie

I didn't understand why Eathen was just standing there, and not opening the door. My chest was heavy and anxious, as something took over me and I walked past Eathen without a second thought, opening the door with urgency.My eyes were frantic as the door swung open, Kallan grumbled in annoyance, "Eathen, I-" he stopped as his eyes caught my own. His eyes locked on mine, his scent lulling my panic, as he sat back in his chair. His shoulders relaxed from the tense position they were in, and he smirked at me."Whewwwww, now I see why you've locked yourself up for days brother," a voice rang out to my right. My head snapped to look at him as another voice from the same direction followed."Pft," he knocked into the other boy's shoulder, "she doesn't even have a mark yet!" They both rolled in laughter, erupting an even stronger rumble from Kallan's chest as he stood up."OUT, NOW!" Kallan demanded as he slammed his desk. The boys didn't hesitate to leave the r

When we got back to Kallan's room, well I guess it was 'our' room, Elle was waiting for me. She came to help me get ready for the dinner, and was way too excited for it, I think mainly because it involved getting me out of Kallan's shirts."Do you come to these too?" I asked her, not really sure why I had to go to this, my mother never would have attended any kind of pack discussions, and having Elle there would definitely make it easier."No, just the Alpha, Luna, and Beta usually attend," she smiled at me, "but I'd go if it meant I got to wear your dress!" Her eyes were full of excitement as she plugged in some hair tools and started forming better curls in my hair. My hair would have to be down as usual, and I did my makeup light with gold accents because I had no clue what my dress looked like.Elle paused while doing my hair and looked like she was deep in thought, "Something wrong Elle?" I asked making her blush."I have to admit...I wasn't su

"Alpha Garrett," Kallan boomed.I hadn't seen Kallan in full Alpha mode until now, his voice ignited my nerves and made me want him more. His power radiated through me alongside the sparks as he kept me snugged to his side. I had to distract myself, and shove Echo to the far back, or I'd be alerting the room to my arousal soon.I tried to focus on the least arousing thing, Garrett. At the dance I remembered everyone seeming so large, so intimidating, but next to Kallan they were mere puppies. I smirked as I caught Eathen sizing up Garrett's Beta, as if he needed to. Eathen was monstrous even compared to Garrett. Garret was a few years older than Kallan, but he seemed much older, his hair was already graying, and he had an exhausted look on his face all the time."Alpha Kallan, Luna," Garrett seemed to brush past acknowledging Kallan like he should, nodding at me with a slight smile, "good to see you again."I thought Kallan was going to be at the very lea

Kallan's POVI needed this night to be over with, Garrett had already asked, and failed, for the other Alpha's support in claiming some of my territory. He was adamant it belonged to him, now he wanted to come and try to make a deal.When I opened the door to bring Octavia down, she was stunning. The sight of her alone made me want to cancel everything and ravage her where she stood instead.The seamstress had not disappointed with this dress, it would surely test Garrett as well, and perhaps give me reason to end his life.Her creamy vanilla scent filled my nose, and all I wanted was to scoop her up in my arms. She ran her hands down my lapel as she cooed sweet nothings at me, but all I could see was her dress covering her neck. Sabre protested at the sight, but I knew if Garrett caught wind that she was unmarked, I would have a problem on my hands."The dress will hide your lack of mark, but Octavia," I started, lifting her chin, a

Kallan's POV Cont'dThis clever little mate of mine snaked her hand between our bodies, and slid her arm along mine until our fingers intertwined. Garrett was visibly thrown off even though he didn't dare pay attention to it.He tried to bargain with me over the territory he wanted, but I wasn't entertaining the thought. If I gave him an inch, he would want a whole town's worth of land."Garrett, it seems as though we will not come to an agreement, you'll have to readdress it at the next Alpha's meeting if you feel so inclined. Any trespassing will not be tolerated, and will result in immediate execution." He was silent for a moment, but I knew he wasn't stupid enough to push the subject."I was hoping to speak with the Luna, alone," Garrett started, "as a personal favor for Alpha Theodore." He paused and waited for my response, but he was lying through his teeth. If I said no, Octavia would be upset as it involved her brother. If I said

Octavia's POVI curled up in the chair by the fire, and watched as the flames danced around the wood. My mind was going back and forth from my conversation with Garrett, had he asked me a week ago I would have entertained it just to be away from the Alpha of the Timber pack, hell, even 4 days ago, but something had changed.I could feel it in the way I missed Kallan, the way he looked at me and the way our bodies reacted to one another. It wasn’t just the mate bond, there was something familiar about him, something I couldn’t ignore and was constantly being pulled towards, and Garrett only helped me solidify how I felt.I must have fallen asleep, because I was awoken by sparks spreading all over my body, that warm coffee scent mixed with thick rich cinnamon was fully wrapped around me. I could barely open my eyes, fluttering only to see his deep green eyes light up for me, I wanted to kiss him in that moment the way I’ve never

“Whooooaa Luna,” Eathen held his hands up to stop me without touching me.“Move Eathen," I snapped at him.“Umm what the hell is going on with you?” His eyebrow raised at me, “Kallan wants you back in the room, and now I see why,” he chuckled.“Well Kallan can come get me himself then,” I snapped back again. He was only fueling my rage by laughing at me and standing in my way, I went to walk through him when he twisted his body so I didn’t slam into his shoulder, but then he grabbed my hips and drug me back a foot before flinging me over his shoulder.“Eathen stop!” I was screaming at him, and banging on his back with my fists, not that he seemed to notice.“Luna, you’re not throwing a temper tantrum, are you?” He laughed some more as he continued to take me back.When we got back to the room Kallan was standing outside the door leaning into the wall, E

MYLO “Isabelle will be stripped of her powers until she is determined to not be a threat anymore,” Xander informed us. The room had been cleared of everyone but the royals, myself, Dahlia and Nora. “We have someone in Shadow Forest who can accomplish it and make sure it’s maintained,” Brianna said as she assessed me, “your father informed us that you would like the right to end Marcus’s life. Are you positive that you want to bear that burden, that you have thought about having to tell Nora in the future?” “We have,” I glanced down at Dahlia and Nora. “It’s my job to protect them, no one else should have to burden themselves with Marcus’s death. Nora will understand, if she cares to ask, that it was her life or his.” “With me then,” Xander motioned for me to fol

BRIANNA I was hesitant to keep my heirs in here for this, but the boys assured me they needed to see. Orion explained the nature of what was about to happen to Mylo and Dahlia who have both chosen to join us. “I’d like my mate to join me,” Marie’s timid voice rang out, “but if that’s not something you’d prefer, I would still like to remain.” Seeing as though Octavia would just fill him in later anyways, I gave her a nod of approval and Timber’s Beta was charged with keeping Nora safe in the next room. When Marcus came into the room, there was a shift in energy, as was to be expected, but when Terran entered the room, Dixon became visibly stiff. I knew Dixon had issues surrounding Fae, but to see such a strong immediate reaction was surprising. I guess he didn’t know that Marie’s mate was Fae until now.

BRIANNA Alaric may have felt like Nixon’s outburst was harmless, but anytime he let his powers slip was dangerous. I wanted to talk to him about it, not that it would change anything, but I also felt like I had talked about it with him until I was blue in the face. Nixon wanted to let his powers loose, he had been practicing with them lately, and I knew Octavia could help him to an extent, but it just seemed too dangerous to let his secret out. How many species would come for him? How would we stop them or protect him? Not only that, but I know from experience the hunger for controlling power killed my parents, Dez’s parents, and most of what should have been my pack. The problem was that he was too carefree, too powerful, and getting too old now for us to hold him back.

MYLOSomething happened between Nixon and Terran, what I wasn’t sure, but we could find out about it later when we had privacy.My mother scooped up Nora instantly when everyone made their way to the tables, positioning herself across from us, beside Brianna.“I’m glad to see your sister’s mate,” Xander started as he glanced down to where they sat at the far end of the table from us, “doesn’t insult easily.”“He’s used to dealing with my brother’s,” I smiled, “and he is mated to Marie.”“You’re too hard on her,” Wyatt laughed as he pulled Brianna into his lap, “what did you expect with parents like yours,&rdqu

TERRANMylo tried to prepare me for meeting their royals, and although they were something to take notice of, they clearly didn’t have the same effect on me as they did on everyone else. Marie was already wound tighter than cramped roots over everything that was going on, but when they walked in, every hair on her body stood at attention. Once they were in front of her, her energy shifted again as she dropped into a calm state that I hadn’t been able to get her to since the Marcus and Izzy incident.The kings were just how they described them, beastly in their appearance, dead inside if their facial expressions were any indication. Other than a side smile to the Luna, they were basically emotionless, standing by like psychopaths just waiting to be unleashed by their queen.When the heirs were introdu

DAHLIA I jolted at the sound when one of the kings cleared his throat. Watching the Queen be smitten with Nora was bringing a new level of comfort and happiness to me, a product I’m sure of the loyalty their blood brought out in me. It was a weird emotion to identify, but I felt in debt to them somehow when I’d only just met them, like any negative thought I could muster to think was suddenly gone and replaced with an intense need to appease them. My whole body seemed so relaxed now, a stark contrast to moments before they walked in, and it was easy to get swept away in watching the Queen take in Nora, so much so that I forgot anyone else was in the room with us. “You’ll have to excuse Brianna,” he started as he picked up my hand and kissed the top of it, “she’s apparently lost her mind now that a baby is

DAHLIAI was a nervous train wreck even though I tried not to let it show. I held my head steady as we walked into the packhouse, every wolf we passed looking at us with caution as we passed by.‘Your instincts are correct,’ Mylo linked me as he squeezed my hand slightly when we entered the dining area, ‘but you are safe here, so try to enjoy yourself, Luna.’‘That was definitely not the impression you just gave to Terran,’ I linked back as I caught sight of his parents. After he was done re-explaining things to Terran, I felt as though I had been given the child version of his warnings.&lsq

MYLO When Marie and Terran arrived they were escorted to an accommodation close to us to get settled in. Dahlia was pacing back and forth as I fed Nora. Anxious, like myself, to get the next few days over with, but it shouldn’t be long before Alderic is back to get ready for supper. Supper would be a good distraction for her as she focuses on the royals, but it posed another level of worry for me. While the royals never posed a threat to us before, Wyatt was unpredictable at best and I haven't had contact with the heirs often enough to be able to judge their behaviours. Dahlia's eyes were slightly glossed over as she 'tidied' up the place, pausing at one point and staring out of one of the windows at the front.I pla

MYLO “Is she pissed?” Alderic asked as I stepped outside to wait for Dahlia. “No,” I shook my head, “but you’re lucky SHE was the one who submitted you.” “Yea that one’s on me,” he shook his head, "all this Alpha energy is making Leto brazen. You'd think he'd be the opposite, I mean he's no coyote," he looked at me and laughed lightly, tucking his hands into his pockets, "but he's used to being around it, we've done things like this since we were kids." Leto had a history of trying to outrank other leaders so it didn’t come to me as a surprise. What mattered most to me was that he was already tempering Leto before Dahlia made him submit and that I knew when it came down to it that he would lay down his life for her and Nora.
