I froze, completely shocked and clueless about what had just happened.
It had been a day and a night already since I brought Ada to the infirmary, and I had forced myself to stay. I promised that I would stay until Ada could wake up and I could give her a proper goodbye.
Apparently I had been in the wrong for assuming that Ada would be excited to see me.
She had flinched away from my touch and screamed at me to let go of her. My hand stayed outreached, unsure of how to proceed. I wanted to respect her wishes, but my body and my wolf were begging for the endorphins and peace that her physical touch brought us.
'She's afraid,' my wolf told me as I stayed frozen, trying to think what to do. 'I can feel it. She is afraid of us.'
My feelings of angst grew at this observation from him.
She was scared of me? How was that even possible?
'Well, you did hurt her.'
I growled internally at the reminder. I felt myself gettin

Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 18: Longing and Leaving
*Ada*My body felt like it was on fire, but in a much better way than the nightmare I had weeks ago. Instead of anguish and despair, I was feeling arousal and desire.How could I not feel that with Bryson standing in front of me?In fact, I had never felt this way with anyone before. Kissing men before had been pleasant for sure, but nothing like the kissing with Bryson. Part of me was starting to wonder if what I had done before was even considered kissing after experiencing what I just had with Bryson.Kissing Bryson was other-worldly…and yet, for some reason he had just stopped."I'm sorry," Bryson said, and I noticed his eyes were closed. "We need to take a break, or I am afraid that I won't be able to stop.""What if I don't want you to?" I asked.His eyes came back to life and burned into my own. Even the intensity of his gaze made my breathing pick up its pace and I felt other parts of me burning for attention as well. His eyes

*Bryson*My wolf howled and screamed inside of my mind, but I kept my jaw tightly clenched, preventing him from getting anything out or gaining control for even a moment.It was hard though when I was standing there, staring at the hurt on Ada's face that my words had caused. At least the hurt had finally stopped her arguing though. I didn't think it would be that hard to leave her, but she was fighting for me tooth and nail.And while part of me loved her devotion, the other part realized that this devotion could just spell more danger for her."Why would you say that?" Ada asked, her voice barely audible as she looked down.My chest tightened again, but I took another deep breath to gain control of my own emotions, my own anguish. There's no way I could justify my words, even if they were true."Get some rest," I said as gently as I could, allowing some of my own dejection into my tone. "I'll come back tomorrow."Ada didn't move or

*Bryson*Ada's wolf would cause endless calamity? Had I heard him right?"How?" I asked in a tight voice. "What's wrong with Ada? Or her wolf? Why do you say that?"As I expected, Ada's father was not interested in providing the information that I requested."The details don't matter," he said with a wave of his hand."But--""I was just telling you so that you will go back and do what's right," he interrupted me. "You don't need to ask questions: you need to leave."My wolf tried to growl again, but this time I kept control. He seemed to notice my internal struggle though."Some things are meant to stay in the past," he said a little softer.Then, before I had a chance to push for more questions he had turned and left, taking the dead body with him. I watched him walk away, still burning for answers, but I wouldn't leave Ada. I couldn't follow him.He knew that and used it to his advantage. Smart.I made m

*Bryson*My stepmom had been the one to poison me.Well…possibly. It still wasn't a sure thing, but the evidence was not pointing in her favor by any means. And even if she wasn't the one that poisoned me, I couldn't deny the fact that she had ordered those rogues to stop me.Even if it meant killing me."Ethan," I said, breaking out of my thoughts. "Head back to Grandmoon and scope out the Alpha mansion before I arrive there."My gaze fell back on the infirmary, despite my efforts to restrain myself, and I couldn't help but add, "And when you get there, secretly send some people back to protect this place."If I did leave her, I couldn't just leave her defenseless. Wait. What did I mean, 'if' I left her.I shook my head as if it would shake out the power that was drawing me to her. My wolf would never let that happen though, I was sure. It appeared that if I truly wanted to be free of her I would have to reject her.'DON'T YOU

*Ada*Bryson's breathing slowly calmed beneath me, and I realized that he had fallen asleep.Yet my fingers didn't stop their journey as they moved around, playing with the hair that I had been dying to touch since I had first laid eyes on him. Bryson didn't seem to mind my fingers though, and kept unconsciously moving even closer to me.My eyes took a quick sweep of his body, trying to check for any physical injuries or anything else that I needed to tend to. His knees looked a little scraped up, but they were nothing major. Definitely not something I would have to mend at the moment. Especially since his wolf would most likely be able to heal that in a matter of minutes, even without my aid.As I knelt there and stared at the man in front of me, the man that I had panicked seeing injured, I realized what I had been trying to push back. But what I was fighting wasn't ignorable any longer.I loved him. I loved Bryson. I wanted to be with him.

*Ada*Was this really happening?My breath was coming in pants as Bryson sat up to appease my shaking fingers and rip his shirt off over his head. I sat up with him, fumbling with my own shirt before his steady hands assisted me with that as well.He paused as he saw me laying there with just a bra on, his eyes even darker than I had seen them before, but I didn't hesitate at all. I wrapped my arms back up and around his neck, pulling him back to me.The skin on skin touch was just as good as I imagined it would be. His contact spots seemed to tingle with anticipation and a shiver passed over me as goosebumps covered my skin, making me even more sensitive to his hot hands.It felt so good that I didn't even notice the dirt and branches and leaves that were scratching along my bare back.I opened my eyes again as he pulled back slightly to give us room to breathe. My vision blurred as I looked up at Bryson and for a moment I thought I was cry

*Ada*I rested my head against Bryson's chest again, just enjoying the comfort that came from his presence. It took me a minute of feeling the little tingles to remember that he was still shirtless."Oh, sorry," I said, leaning back. "Did you need your shirt back?"I started to hand it to him, but he shook his head quickly and pushed it back to me, averting his eyes."No, you can keep it," he said, his voice thick.I looked down in confusion and then remembered why I had his shirt in the first place. I had nothing but a bra on underneath. My cheeks burned as I wrapped it back around myself."Oh, right, thanks," I said, glancing around for my shirt. "Hold on one second."I hurried over to my shirt and threw it on before walking back over to Bryson and handing him his own shirt back. He was still trying to look the other way and be a gentleman, but I could see the tension in his body, and when I helped him up, I wasn't surprised to find

*Bryson*"Don't joke around about that," I said, then, hearing how harsh I sounded, added a, "Please."Ada had just made a joke about giving us medicine to make us feel like mates, without realizing that we already were mates."We need to tell her," my wolf said quietly in my mind, and for the first time in a while, I agreed with him.But nerves garbled my throat. How was I supposed to tell her that we were mates? When she didn't have a wolf to confirm it for herself. Would she believe me?Then again, I was pretty sure that she had just told me her deepest, darkest secrets, and that couldn't have been easy for her either."I'm sorry," Ada said again. "But…can I ask…what about the joke upset you? I mean, just so I know for the future."She looked at me with her sharp, intelligent eyes, and I felt guilty again for her feeling like she did something wrong. It wasn't her fault that she didn't know what we were."Ada…" I began. "I g

Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 50 : Final Piece of the Past
*Ada*Cole's attitude towards his fake mate might have improved, but the ex-friends had not.This was entirely evident when the poison she had continued to slip us took full effect. The scene opened up before my eyes, and I could see that it was the night of the full moon. That was all I managed to observe though before the body I was in went out of control.The feeling was familiar as an extremely powerful force burst from inside, taking over the body and exploding out into a different shape. This time, due to the poison's effects, the power was uncontrollable and physically blew out from her body. The force blasted down the closest parts of the Alpha's house, and flames overtook the rest.We watched in a daze as people ran and screamed, the Alpha house continuing to burn to the ground."It's her, it's the cursed Luna!" A voice cried out, and she was vaguely aware that it was the voice of the ex-friend. "She is the one doing this!"More cries of fear and anger, a call to action
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 49 : Becoming the Cursed Luna
*Ada*Ignorance is bliss.And lucky for the cursed Luna, she was unaware of everything going on since she had taken the love breaking potion.Unlucky for me, I was not unaware.Though, her thoughts began to cloud my own, and I started to feel the same way that she did. Cole was our mate and the true Alpha, and we would do anything to make him happy. So when she found out she was pregnant, she took off to tell Cole first thing.She grabbed the door to his room and flung it open, but the smile that lit up her face and her insides was wiped clean as the scene of the room unfolded. Cole was there, yes, but he was butt naked, and it obviously wasn't her in his bed.It was her best friend. At least, that's what I gathered from the sense of betrayal and heartbreak that was coursing through our shared mind. And even in the few seconds that they continued their actions it was clear that this wasn't the first time.In fact, when she let out an audible gasp, he turned around to simply dism
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 48 : Past Mates
*Ada*Cole stood there, in front of everyone…claiming credit for everything that Bryson had just completed. I knew it wasn't really Cole, since this was a vision of the past, but it was his image standing there now, just as Bryson's image was there.I looked towards Bryson, and he looked back at me. The question on his face mirrored my own: What would we do now?"What the hell, Cole?" Bryson asked, loud enough for everyone to hear.Cole shrugged. "I am doing what I want for a change and getting what I want."He struck out at Bryson before he even had a chance to react. Their father stood back and watched as the fighting ensued between his two sons, looking no more worried than if he was watching a race.The fight was vicious, and on a good day I was sure that Bryson would have won. Yet he had just exhausted all of his energy actually doing all of the work that Cole took credit for, and the exhaustion was showing in his motions.I knew it hurt him to fight his own brother, and I
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 47 : Part Two of the Past
*Ada*The scene starts to clear around me again as a new scene takes place.This one is a lot more like the previous scenes I had beheld, where my emotions were geared more towards fear and worry. My bond was on edge as I searched for Bryson.I didn't know where he was at, but I could tell that he was injured.Finally I found him, and all the panic came to a head when I saw how serious the injury was. I jumped right into action, grabbing anything I could and binding his wounds. I could tell she wasn't as experienced a healer as me and I begged to be able to use my body again.Even though it wasn't actually Bryson laying in front of me, I was itching to heal him. Seeing him hurt was hurting my heart, whether it was real or not."Sorry," I whispered out as he winced under my inexperienced fingers."It's not your fault," Bryson said, attempting to smile. "You shouldn't be wasting your time and energy on me. I will heal on my own soon anyway.""I don't care," I said. "I can't just
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 46 : The Past Truth
*Ada*Darkness.Why was I always surrounded in darkness?There was a light pressure in my head and then the scene before my eyes began to lighten, and I recognized the dream world that I had so often entered now. Except this time it felt…different. Yet I couldn't quite place why.Once again I felt the strange sensation of being somewhere both familiar and unfamiliar, with a lack of self-control. This time wasn't so dim though, not like the visions before.It was bright.And also different was that instead of terror, I felt joyful…happy…content. It was almost more concerning, just because I was used to the negative emotions. However, it was impossible to stay worried for long with the positivity coursing through my body.No, not my body. The body from my dreams…the cursed Luna?I knew the name should mean something more to me, but I couldn't seem to focus on any of my own thoughts. Once more I was sucked into her life and her emotions, overtaking all of my own. Though with the p
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 45 : Chasing Ada
*Bryson*All the wolves fell on us at once, and I was in shock, my body not responding.Was Ada really the cursed Luna's niece?? Did she know she was? I didn't think so.Ada's wolf whimpered suddenly, bringing me back to focus."Bryson!" Cole yelled out. "We have to get her away!"He was annoying nine times out of ten, but I had to admit that I had appreciated his help with Ada so far. His flirting with her had irritated me, but if it helped keep her safe now, then I couldn't care.Wolves blocked my path to her, shoving me back and forth."Cole, get to her!" I yelled out, but I could see him fighting through the hoard too.Ada let out another yelp that tore at my heart, and then I saw a red wolf jumping overhead. She had gotten enough space and had jumped. There were too many wolves though, and she landed on a few, rolling awkwardly.I ran towards her, but she was already attempting to run further away. Good. I could always catch up. She needed to get out of here.She was doi
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 44 : Madness
*Ada*My bedroom door shut behind me and Bryson was instantly pressing me up against it, kissing my lips just as hard as before.I was breathless in seconds."You can't distract me," I said when his lips moved to my neck, giving me time to breathe. "I still don't feel comfortable with you going alone.""I don't want you in danger," he whispered against my neck. "But we can talk about that after…right now I just want to show you how much I missed you."His lips came back to mine, and this time I couldn't resist. With a moan I brought my hands up into his hair, tugging him even closer. Bryson's hand slid up under my shirt, but instead of the pleasure it usually brought me, a sudden wave of nausea came over me.I pulled back sharply, and pushed Bryson away. He was so surprised that he was easy to move."What--" he began to say, but I didn't give him any time to finish before taking off towards my bathroom.Even in my rush, I locked the door behind me. This wasn't something that he
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 43 : Bryson's Mission
*Bryson*We were moving through the dark forest, and I was suddenly thankful for my werewolf eyes. I was anxious to get back to Ada, and I didn't want to wait until morning.I hadn't even had a chance to say goodbye to her before my father had dragged me off, and the thought was eating me up. The only consolation was the fact that now that we were mated I could feel if she was okay or not.But the mate bond was also making me more and more anxious the longer we were apart."Come on, can't you slow down just a little?" Ethan huffed from beside me, trying to keep up.I pushed myself even faster. "We're almost there.""Exactly, so why can't we slow down finally. It's not like-- wait, what is that?"My eyes quickly looked up and followed his line of sight where there was a glow against the skyline. I felt my chest tighten."What could that be?" Ethan asked. "It is much too early to be the sun, and it's coming from the completely wrong direction for the sunrise. It's coming from…wel
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 42: One Side
*Ada*The words from my visions kept coming back to my mind, louder than ever."She's the cursed Luna!""She has to die!""Kill her!"And here was a book, right in front of me, that might hold some answers to whatever it was those people were calling me--- no, calling her, not me: the woman from my visions."Hooked you already, didn't I?" Cole asked smugly, but I wasn't even paying attention to him anymore.My fingers shook slightly as I folded back the front cover and the first few pages until I found writing.
