As my breathing rate slows, Diego’s and Karamea’s scents fill my nostrils and instantly the fire in my groin is stoked again.
Oh, shit! I have been reading too many cheesy romantic novels. Though I definitely won’t need them anymore with these two to keep me company. And my vibrator wouldn’t be needed anymore. Well...maybe I could keep it for fun with Karamea.
Then I felt Diego stir against my thigh and a featherlight kiss on my shoulder from Karamea.
Diego’s hand caresses my back and I have an idea. Karamea and my link is fully established, now that the matebond is completed. I linked her my idea and she giggled at the thought.
Diego’s hand cupped my chin and pulled me into a kiss.

Hey friends - You all are amazing and I'm so thankful for each of you. I can't believe the number of people that have followed me from other sites or have just randomly picked up the book out on a whim. You all are awesome! Feel free to leave me some love. I will always respond. Bonus update if we get to 4,400 subscribers or 8,900 views. See you soon!
By the end of the month, the mating urge has slowed down. It was helped a lot by the fact that most of the daily tasks could be delegated to Kristoff and Patrice. My parents and Karamea’s parents helped as well, only coming to us for a few hours per day. By Saturday, we are even able to spend several hours apart without the feeling that part of our soul is missing.Karamea’s parents have taken Tesoro under their wing and are showing him the duties of a beta. My mother has taken it upon herself to work with mi reina, showing her the duties of a luna. This was complicated by the fact that Declan and Lucille were also spending time with Karamea, trying to teach her about being an oracle.
I am standing in a large clearing somewhat away from all of the tents, houses, and wolves that have overtaken the Diana Pack, aiding in the training of the warriors. Somehow, the Deltas and Gammas of all of the packs have gotten along extremely well. We have split up all of the warriors based on skill and training level and we rotate them through the different instructors.I work with my mates to help with hand to hand combat, showing the packs how to work in units of three. We are watching our warriors spar with each other, giving pointers or joining in as needed. I’ve just stepped back from working with a group of three and am surveying the field.To one side, I see Xander showing a group of warriors a more efficient way to switch out the leader of the group if they are getting tired. His shirt is off, his muscles glistenin
Zak quickly informed all of the alphas and they all met in the dining hall of the Diana Pack. Even Diego came, as this involved a battle on two fronts. The Alphas and Gammas discussed strategy while the Betas and Deltas were out among the warriors splitting up who was to go where, who was to stay and the logistics of getting so many wolves where they needed to go. Within an hour, we have two groups loaded into vehicles and heading to the Blood Moon and Shadow packs. Doctors, nurses, and volunteers are also loading up supplies and medications to follow two hours behind us. Zak and Gael were attempting to reach both alphas by phone to warn them and get them to evacuate, but their phones went unanswered. That wasn’t a good sign. Devin, Arya, and I were in charge of the group heading to the Shadow Pack. Our warriors consisted o
I see Isaac scurrying around the side of the packhouse, looking behind him to make sure he isn’t being followed. I run to him, linking Xander at the same time. Got him, Liefie. “Isaac,” I call to him, only loud enough for him to hear me. I can hear growls and a scream come from the other side of the packhouse, but I don’t want to draw their attention. His head whips to face me and a grin spreads across his face as he sees that it’s me. “Arya! Thank the Goddess!” He runs towards me and pulls me into a hug. This is the most affection that Isaac has ever shown me, but I gratefully return the hug. When I called him my brother at our last parting, I meant it. He was like th
“Arya! Arya! FUCK!” I’m about to throw my phone when I get a ping telling me I have a text. It’s the directions from Isaac. I quickly memorize them and link them to the entire pack. I show the phone to Hakeem and Bethany and they link the details to their packs as well. I shift and start running. Shouldn’t we come up with a plan? Jeremy links me. Mathias’s shitheads are already there. Our mate, our warriors, and 75 innocent she-wolves are in danger. If you want to stay behind and formulate a plan, be my guest. My voice is a savage growl in my head as I run through the woods towards my mate. These men are fucking animals. Obviously better trai
I hear a howl resound through the clearing and turn quickly to see allied wolves break through the trees. I’m not sure who they are, just that they aren’t a part of my pack. “Devin! Xander!” Arya calls to them, before turning and punching an enemy wolf so hard that his neck snaps back. He’s instantly unconscious. She quickly steps over his body and breaks his neck before falling back into line beside me. So far, we’ve managed not to let anyone past us to get to the she-wolves. We’re not foolish enough to believe that these males want them, but we know that they will be used against us. And there’s no way that we can allow them to be hurt more than they already are. The enemy keeps coming, but with reinforcements, the wolves that get to the inner circle where w
I feel my rage boiling as I stand watching our wolves unload the dead wolves from the APCs and putting them on the funeral pyres. I’m standing on the back veranda, looking down the hill into the empty field that will be used tonight for the funeral services. Two hundred and fifty dead wolves. Two hundred and fifty mates feeling the link sever forever, families torn apart, by what? One asshole’s bigotry? Because one guy didn’t agree with someone else’s life choices, all these wolves died. Granted other packs joined him, but would they have started a war if he hadn’t? Or would they have just grumbled about it? Would these wolves still be alive if Mathias had never come to my territory? If I hadn’t insisted that we wouldn’t hide our mates? “Lollipop, what’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” I fee
“Are you sure about this?” I ask Isaac. Devin, Xander, and I had accompanied the groups that had gone to the Shadow Pack to help move the pack and the injured wolves. We brought Isaac with us to send him back to the Blue Crescent Pack. After we beat him.This morning, when we left Diana territory to come to the Shadow Pack, we chained him at wrists and ankles with silver to cause the burning that would be expected on a prisoner. Every jolt, every turn, every change in speed caused the cuffs to shift. Isaac tried to hide it, but there is no wolf that can remain truly impassive to the effects of silver. Three fucking hours of that torture and he never once complained, just did it for the cause.Yesterday, it was decided that Isaac would continue his undercover work in the Blue Crescent Pack. He would act as if
This is the end of War of Threes, but the third book, Trinity of Power, is coming!!Important/Interesting Info:1. I will be taking a couple week break to get ahead of the book. It will post on the website on 1/31/22. It usually takes it about a week for it to show up on the app, because they have to sign the book and do all the paperwork and blah blah blah.2. I will keep my update schedule of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with the potential of special updates over the weekends.3. Main characters of the story will be: Severn, Corinda, Zak, Brandon, and Charlie4. If you're interested in hearing what I listen to when I write (other than the three gremlins that live in my house), here is my Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Ff2Q8AQ5zlYP3MYFZVQzW?si=296adecc5dbd432b5.

“When did you see him, Lauren? When exactly did he leave? Where did he go?” I’m screaming, unable to keep my panic at bay.“He was here about 45 minutes ago. He left at almost exactly 4:40,” Lauren is sobbing, trying to remember all of the details.“He said that he was going through the forest path,” Carl says, putting on his shoes to come help us look.“He must have been getting flowers for Charlie. That means that he was going by the pond,” I murmur.We pour out of the house, running to the back of the house, Dev, Arya, Charlie, and me. Everyone else is already out searching for Brandon. Where the hell is he?We run to the pond and it’s like a mini natural disaster happened. A tree is moved, like it literally took a step out of the ground. The dirt is overturned and the tree’s roots are pulled from the ground. The branches
One Month Later…This month has been fucking insane, not just because my mates and I have barely had any sleep because of the pups. I mean, we are blessed that there are three of us, but there are two pups. Two. We feel like freaking zombies.Did you know that newborn pups eat every two hours? Not two hours between feedings. Two hours from when they start. I shit you not. Charlie feeds them both at the same time, but between getting them up, changed, fed, and back to sleep, it’s at least a half hour process. So every hour and a half, we’re up. I love Jerry and Christy, I really, really do. But, fuck kids, sleep!Our parents saw how insane we were and they also knew how important this time was for all of the packs as we were trying to sort out leadership while attempting to find CCS, who had gone strangely quiet
I’m in shock at that last little tidbit that the Mother throws at us. I just stand there, gaping at her.Devin pulls me into his arms, literally jumping up and down while holding me and whooping with wordless excitement.Mother Selene smiles even wider, laughing her tinkling laugh as the full weight of her words hit me.No, it won’t be the same. There will still be grief when we wake up tomorrow morning and he isn’t there. When our pups are born without him standing next to me. When we have to discipline the pups, or have a fight with each other, or take down CCS. When our pups say their first words, or have their first day at school, or find their own mates.No, it won’t be the same. But at least we will see him. We can hold him. We can hear his voice and see his smile again, not just in our memories.It’s better than the nothingness that I thought we would have, the bla
I think I’m still sitting on the ground with Arya cradling me, but honestly, you could have told me that I had just been launched into outer space for a mission to Mars and I would have believed you. All I can see were the black depths of Selene’s eyes. I can’t hear anything but the roaring in my ears. I can’t feel anything but an intense chill. Demi-gods. Fucking demi-gods? Arya is the first of the two of us to find her voice. “You’ve got to me shitting me!” she whisper-shouts at the Mother. “Demi-gods? What the hell do you mean?” “You both have had so much pain in your lives.” Arya gives a dry snicker at that, but Selene continues, looking to me first. “Devin, you’ve dealt with feeling that you had to hide who you were, hiding your love for your first mate, all to appease some antiquated thought of what leadership should be. Arya…” The Mother gives a large, deep sigh. She cups her mouth and n
“You told me I would be safe here! That Mathias would have no control over my life if I joined the Artemis Pack!” I scream at the Goddess, spit flying and my face heating with my rage. I jump off of the pyre and take large strides toward Selene. “Does this look fucking safe to you?” I fling my hands back toward our mate’s lifeless body on the pyre.“Arya, I – “ Mother Selene starts, but I’m not done.By now, I have crossed the distance between us and am face to face with the Goddess inhabiting Declan’s body. “First, you take away my family and force me into that den of assholes, homophobes, and rapists. Then you put me in a situation where I had to reject my mates and allow my ‘packmates’ to beat the fuck out of me. But then you tell me that I’m safe and that Mathias won’t hurt me again.”I step into the Goddess’s inhabi
I stand behind Arya, Devin, and Xander’s mom’s chairs. Zak is to my left, directly behind Devin, and Charlie is seated directly behind Arya. They are holding Jared and Christine, bundled up against the night chill. All of our friends and family are gathered around us: Lauren, Clara, Meredith, and the other she-wolves around Arya and Xander’s mom, and Richard, Carl, and the other alphas around Devin. The pyres are set up in front of us. Arya and Devin have barely spoken since we found them. We still don’t know exactly what happened, only that Arya is Luna and Xander is gone. They sit, dried eyed, just staring at the wooden bed where their mate lays. The family members of the deceased are all dressed in white in their mourning, but Devin and Arya are both dressed in a deep forest green. One of the few things that Arya said was that her family dressed in the favorite color of the one who passed on. It was a way to honor th
Brandon and Hakeem stay with Devin, Arya, and Xander’s body while Gael and I slowly make our way to where the battle just stopped. There are a few skirmishes here and there, but nothing that our wolves can’t handle. Some wolves from the Blue Crescent Pack don’t like that they have a new alpha or that she’s a female or that she is…was mated to two males. Fuck ‘em. I don’t care what they like. Now that they’ve stopped fighting our people, they can go rogue or we can imprison them or we can kill them. It honestly doesn’t matter to me. This ache in my soul won’t go away. I’m missing my friend, my brother. Zak? Brandon? What happened? Charlie asks through the mindlink. We had kept our connection open throughout the battle, so Charlie knew everything that had we had shown her. But the severing of Xander’s bond with us had cost us a lot of energy and having the link open constantly was too draining.&
After linking Xander and Devin, we shift and run into the forest to aid our allies. We leave Naomi behind, taking control of her pack. She has mindlinked them all, ordering them to stop fighting. Most of them have stopped, but because she hasn’t officially taken control of the pack and had them swear fealty to her, they don’t have to listen. And not all of them do. There are some who thrived under Julian’s rule and are pissed. They are only a small group, but they are made up of some of the fiercest warriors that Julian had. And they have gone into the forest to help support Mathias. The good thing is that Jeb’s warriors had been absorbed into Julian’s, so by killing him, we took control of two-thirds of the warriors. And they were also pissed. They never wanted to be a part of this, let alone have their pack taken over by the “Bloody Rogue Prince,” their pet name for Julian. They had been pissed that Jeb ha
