Conrad’s POV

I paced back and forth of my suite, periodically checking the clock on the wall. Five more minutes til I have to meet the doctor for our da… I stopped myself. Nope! Dinner, not date. I ran my hand over my face in frustration. My mind still completely confused. He smelled like my mate, but when I looked into his eyes, I didn’t see mate, but he’s human, so who knows what that means! Ugh! My mind sounded like a broken record. Over and over, the same tune… Uncertainty about whether he was my mate or not.

I checked the wall clock again, time to go. With a deep breath, I steel myself for tonight. It was just dinner… Not a date. I walked down the stairs to the ground floor, keeping my eyes peeled for Hazel. I made up some farfetched excuse as to why I couldn’t have dinner with her like she wanted. She seemed to believe me, so I wasn’t going to say much more.

Leaning against the railing of the stairs, Bennet stood scrolling through his phone. He was still wearing hospital scrubs.

    Benji’s POVI lifted my arms above my head and stretched out the muscles in my back after being hunched over a microscope and medical reports the last few hours. I squint my eyes to the bright overhead florescent lights of the Lab. Removing my glasses, I decide to close my eyes for a moment to give them a short rest. Visiting patients, taking blood samples, reaching charts – I am exhausted, but nowhere near solving what this disease is.I put my glasses back on and decide to get back to work. My phone pinged with a message. I pulled my phone from my lab coat pocket then smiled. Bennet said he was just about to meet the Alpha. I tried to feel happy for my cousin. Maybe the Alpha was his mate. It isn’t unusual for a human to be mated to a werewolf, but the idea of going back to the states without my cousin felt wrong. I quickly pushed the thoughts away. It was just dinner according to Bennet, so I won’t over think things.“I am telling you! It’s some sort of Zombie disease!” Gray argues

    Conrad's POV Bennet and I walked out of the restaurant in comfortable silence into the chilly night air, then turned in the direction of the hospital. It was about a twenty-minute walk from where we were, so walking wasn’t too bad. It was a bit cold and I noticed that Bennet was shivering slightly even though he was wearing a sweater over his hospital scrubs. The nights in the North were always cold due to the mountain breezes, even during the summer, so I did the chivalry thing and draped my jacket over his shoulders. As a werewolf, our bodies naturally run at a hotter temperature then humans.“Thank you.” He says and pulls it close to his chin. It is the first time he has actually spoken to me without an attitude. I nod with a smile and continue walking.“Alpha…” A woman greets me with a nod then a few more greet me the same way.I return the greeting to several of our pack members who are also out on an evening stroll, but Bennet just quietly walks next to me. He seems to be lost i

    Bennet’s POV“Dr. Mason, Please explain why you and she have the same scent?” Mr. Alpha’s words rang out like a gunshot echoing through the night. No one moved, no one seemed to breathe.Well, this isn’t going as well as my imagination had conjured up a few minutes ago. I thought to myself. Maybe some sort of romance novel action would occur between them. She would run into his arms and he would whisper words of love, kiss her senselessly and they would live happily ever after with a large number of babies. Actually… not too much of that wet sloppy romance because we still need to keep our lab free from contamination.Instead, Bee looks like a deer in headlights and the Alpha looks like he was caught between his lover and his wife. It was pretty comical. Under normal circumstances, I would have laughed, but the tension in the air is thick, so my usual sarcastic banter isn’t appropriate at the moment.I cross my arms over my chest waiting… The standstill was working on my last nerve.

    Benji’s POVParalyzing fear… That is the only emotion I am feeling or that I can comprehend at the moment. A mate. I was given a second chance mate. How is that even possible? Why would the moon goddess grant me a second chance mate? I was already given the best mate a woman could ask for. Gregory was my everything and now I am mated to this Alpha? No, I can’t do this again. I can’t deal with the pull of the mate bond again. I need to leave. I need to escape this feeling.I feel a soft brush of fingers against my arm, shattering the frozen barrier around my mind. Bennet is looking at me with a concerned look. He is waiting for me to do something, anything. His expression softens when I give him a pleading look. A look filled with more emotions than I can even express. He knows I need to separate myself. The anxiety is building and I don’t think I can handle breaking down in front of everyone.I swiftly escape through the double doors of the lab. The doors swing open with a bang, echoi

    Mystery Person's POV“Dammit! I was so close!” I work my way through the dense woods as I made my swift exit from the hospital, the sound of leaves and small twigs crackling underneath my boots is the only sound that accompanies me. I know I am not being followed which is my only consolation prize of the night. The deeper into the darkness I walk, the more I berate myself for that sliver of an opportunity I lost. It had slipped through my fingers like grains of sand. I clench and unclench my fists over and over, the desire to kill just below the surface of my rage.I had gone to the hospital just out of pure gut feeling. I pretended I was mopping the floors as I listened with my wolf hearing to the conversation inside the lab. I learned that damn doctor discovered the blood samples were different from the originals. Guess she was smarter than I thought. I need a way to sabotage the equipment and computers. It may not stop them from discovering the truth about the illness, but it will s

    Benji’s POVHazel Summers… Hazel Summers who almost ruined my best friend Ciara’s life… is here in the North?! What the hell? I reach into my memory bank to remember what happened to her after the court trial. She was tried for treason against the crown over five years ago. Wasn’t she supposed to go back to her pack with her parents and serve as Omegas? I know they were stripped of their Gamma roles but can’t remember anything other than that. Does Alpha King Mars know Hazel is here?! I will have to contact him later and find out.My mind is whirling with questions, but I can barely think straight. An overpowering floral smell is messing with my senses and it is absolutely awful, like someone bathed In dollar store perfume.“YOU!”I look up to see an angry Hazel pointing her long-manicured finger in my direction. She’s barely wearing a deep purple dress. I guess things haven’t changed in high school. She still dresses like a five-dollar hooker.Hazel is still sitting on the Alpha Conr

    Benji’s POVOnce Ashley and I have the beakers and equipment set up and the flames lit, we get to work. Smashing the petals, we add them to the bubbling solution to one of the clear glass beakers. The Dragon desire emanates a soft Firey glow as the petals heat to the desired temperature. The purple flowers bleed their color into the solution, changing the clear liquid to a deep purple.I discuss the changes while Ashley takes down notes and runs the calculating math equations on paper. The lab is slowly being permeated with the strong smell of floral. The same floral scent from earlier in the dining hall.“I think this is what caused Bennet and Gray to go a little lustful towards Hazel.” I have to admit, the floral smell is causing me to feel horny and stoned at the same time which is a weird sensation.Ashley fans herself, her cheeks are pink and her breathing is a bit labored. “I know what you mean. I am going to open a couple of windows to get the smell out. It’s doing funny things

    Conrad’s POVAfter Bennet told me he would talk Benjamina into coming to breakfast after our first encounter at the lab, I returned to my office to go over paperwork and meet with my Alpha Squad. As hard as I tried, my mind wasn’t processing the words on the papers I was supposed to be reviewing. Benjamina’s stunning face continuously invaded my thoughts. She looked so frightened and I caused it. I knew she wasn’t scared of me personally, but of the mate bond with me.I was her second chance mate. It made me wonder what happened to her first mate. Did he reject her? That made me growl in anger. She was too perfect to be rejected. I wanted to look into it, find him and destroy him until he was nothing but ground meat for the buzzards to feed off of! I know all too well the pain of rejection because she was my second chance mate as well.I met Rebecca on her 18th birthday. I had gone to her birthday celebration as a representative from the leaders of the northeastern territory. When I w

    Benji’s POVI was sitting in the passenger seat of the Black Jeep Wrangler watching the sun set in the distance. The trees lining the abandon dirt road swayed quietly in the evening breeze. The car was parked about twenty miles outside of the border of Conrad’s pack waiting for the rest of the expedition group to arrive. This was all part of the plan to keep our trip to the mountains a secret. Conrad and Sean were still at the pack preparing the lie that they were taking the twins camping for a few days to get away. Ashley used the excuse she planned on returning to the states for a while to visit her family. Honestly, I was surprised no one questioned so many people leaving at the same time. I would have been curious. I let out a deep sigh. As calm as the outside world is, my mind and heart are wildly fighting against each other.I had been avoiding Conrad since I told him the truth about not being able to shift. I just couldn’t face him. I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but he hasn’

    Conrad’s POVThe soft click of the door was louder than any noise I have ever heard. Everything went still. What did I just do? She said she couldn’t shift and my brain stalled. I wasn’t expecting her to say something like that. She is such a strong person, I was completely caught off guard about it.‘STOP THINKING YOU IDIOT! AND GO AFTER OUR MATE!’ Titus growls at me. ‘Does it really bother you that much that she can’t shift?’Does it bother me? No… but it does make her more vulnerable during our expedition through the mountains to find the moon root. Should I make her stay so she doesn’t get hurt? Should I take more warriors with us? Should we see if there’s a way around through a different route from the one we plan so we can take vehicles?‘You don’t even realize what you did. You hesitated with your response to her.’ My wolf, Titus, growled. His hackles up, his fur brisling. The rage coming off of him was overwhelming. I had never seen him so pissed, not even when our first mate

  • Werewolves Cure: Benji's Second Chance    Chapter 66

    Benji’s POVI stood at the end of my bed, looking over all the items that I planned on taking with me on the expedition. A few neatly folded leggings and tops, hiking boots, rain jacket, what else? UGH! My mind was not focusing on packing right now. It was on my wolf, Dahlia. I closed my eyes, seeing her snooze deep in the concaves of my mind. Somewhere along this trip, we were going to have to shift into our wolves. I haven’t shifted in years, not since before my first mate, Gregory, passed away. For over 5 years Dehlia was dormant, I couldn’t reach her to heal a papercut. I was practically human. Heck I’m practically still human since I don’t know if I can shift.The expedition plan was to leave in two days at night under the false blanket that Conrad needed a break and wanted to take his kids camping for a couple of days. Sean would go as protection detail. Since I wasn’t part of the pack, it was easy to say I was closed off in my lab, not wanting to be bothered.“Where would the k

    Third Person Conversation “What do you mean, you think they are planning something?” A deep male voice barked on the other end of the phone. Hazel scanned the hidden hallway one more time to make sure no one was coming down in her direction. Her conversation with Alpha Nathaniel didn’t need to be overheard by eavesdroppers.“I don’t know! After you had the rogues attack and destroy the medicine and water convoy, they went into the conference room and have barely come out in days. They only come out of the room to check on the sick patients.” Hazel was glad her information about the route the convoy was helpful to Nathaniel. It was just another step towards her becoming the Luna of the Northeastern Territory with Nathanial as her Alpha. She could already count the dollar signs in her future. She was tired of working and not living the lifestyle she deserved. “A few hours ago, everyone but Conrad and that Bitch Doctor came out. They looked like they were done. The human was talking abo

    Benji’s POV“I’m sorry, what?” Conrad asks. We both stared down at the twins with unsure expressions on our faces.“Orion Mountain.” Falon rolled her eyes, giving us a ‘duh’ expression. “Didn’t you two go to elementary school?” She signed smoothly with her hands. Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. My superior intelligence and my title of Sherlock was being challenged by a pre-teen little girl.Finnley tapped his sister on the shoulder and signed to let him explain. She gave an overly dramatic bow and stepped away from the table. She plopped herself down in one of the chairs, spinning it around and around to entertain herself while waiting for something to magically happen. I am assuming for the light bulbs to flash on over Conrad and my heads. There was a lot of eye rolling going on and no explanations being explained! Even Finnley rolled his eyes at his sister’s sassy demeanor.“Where’s Orion Mountain?” I asked while looking over at the large map that is spread over the conference t

    Benji’s POV“No, I am telling you! I bet you the root is at Raytale Peak!”“Can’t be, that’s a popular destination spot for tourists, wouldn’t someone have noticed some magical glowing flowers by now?”“But what about this part here? This doesn’t make sense, how can rock be burning?”“Time isn’t a thing to touch! And Who is the mother and father then huh?”We have been going through the book’s passages and maps for several days now and have come up with nothing substantial to work with. Each time we think we have found a potential location for the flowers, someone would contradict it. Tempers were running high, fatigue was settling in and braincells were running low.My team hasn’t been much help since we aren’t from the North, nor do we grow up with the folktales like Conrad and his squad did. Ashley and Gray have been more involved then either Bennet or me. I guess research and technology are key at this point. I try to add my own ideas, but they haven’t been very useful.“Timeout!

    Conrad's POV “A Cure?” I say in disbelief. Ashley, Bennet and Benji all look at each other. Their eyes seem to be having a silent conversation that only smart people would understand. After a few minutes, they look back at me, nodding their heads in unison.“I think this story holds the key to curing the sick wolves.” Ashley says, her eyes filled with so much determination its hard to look away. I glance at Benji, she is looking at Ashley with such pride and adoration for her. Benji’s faith in her teammates is overwhelming.Sean picks up the book, flipping through the pages with a scowl on his face. “I know this ratty old book. It used to be my great aunt’s before she gave it to mom. Doc always loved this book, but I always thought it was boring. I think it was the reason he went into medicine. My mother use to read the stories to us as kids to help us fall asleep. Babe, where did you find this book?”Ashley pouts his lips at him and shrugs. “Doctor Lancon gave it to me after the lab

    Benji’s POV“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED?” Conrad yells through his phone in the far corner of the conference room. “YOU WERE IN CHARGE OF THE MISSION! GET ME ANSWERS AND GET ME ANSWERS YESTERDAY!!”“Alpha King Mars, I understand you are unhappy with the situation, we all are, but I can… Yes… I… As head of the security on Sherlock’s team and your friend, yelling at me isn’t going to help… UGH! Just put your wife on the phone… Yes, I know you are the king, but she is easier to talk to then you…” Artemis walks passed me without looking at me. One phone in her hand while she talks on another. She leans over Nathan’s shoulder to look at the computer screen he is pointing at. She nods her head and continues pacing while talking to Alpha Mars.“You can’t just make more? Why Not? How much time does it take?” Bennet says walking by me next. He listens to whoever is on the other end with a scowl. “I am a doctor not a pharmaceutical Guro, how am I supposed to know…” He rubs

    Conrad’s POV I have come to realize I can’t go back to how things were now that I have my second chance mate. After dinner with Benji, we went to pick up Falon and Finnley from their school’s bingo event. Everything I had ever desired for my life clicked into place watching Benji with my kids. Sitting in a red and white booth at the small 50s diner, surrounded by the vintage deco, I found my life. Benji animatedly talking to my pups as they scan the dessert menu. She sings along with the jukebox while using sign language so Falon can enjoy the music as well. Finnley comes out of his quiet introvert self to sing along to “Rock around the clock” and for once there is a smile on his face. Benji’s presence in our lives is glueing back the pieces of what was once broken. ‘I doubt she even knows what she is doing to us.’ My wolf, Titus, purrs in my head as he watches through our eyes. ‘I wish I could talk to her wolf. She is weak, but I can feel her and sense her. I can sometimes hear her
