*Bryson*

I watched as the Alpha left, running towards saving his pack.

"Let's get her home to rest," Ada's mother suddenly said, drawing my attention back to her and Ada. "She seems to have run out of energy, and with all the chaos I think it best to get her somewhere safe from the fire and chaos."

"I agree," I said, rushing forward to pick her up.

It appeared that her mother was right. Ada's body had finally gone still, and had quit spasming. In fact, if I didn't know better, it looked like she had passed out from exhaustion. At least with her calmness came a calmness in my mind as well. No stabbing pain.

"I got you, Ada," I said comfortingly in her ear as I bent down and picked her up.

I had no idea if she could actually hear me or not, but I had to give her some sign of support after everything I had to just sit through and watch. It selfishly made me feel better. Almost as if I had been comforting her the entire time.

    *Bryson*My eyes flashed back and forth between Ada's mom and dad.Had I just heard them right? Had they said something about my mom? Did they know her? Were they aware of what actually happened to her? And what of my father? And what had she said? Something about a cursed Luna?My mind was so full of questions that I struggled to form coherent words."What? You--I--my mom?""It's not important," her father said with a wave of his hand. "It should not be I who tells you the truth, it is something that you need to discover for yourself.""Then why would you even bring it up?" I asked in irritation, finally finding my words. "Tell me what you know about my mother.""No," he insisted. "I thought you already knew, but there must be something else in motion. All I need from you is to swear to the moon goddess that if we let you take Ada to Grandmoon Pack, you will never fail her. That you will protect her at all costs, even if it puts you

    *Ada*I couldn't wake up, no matter how hard I tried.It was like my conscience had been pushed to the back of my brain and I was fighting through every bit of muscle and tissue to get back to the front. But I was sure I was asleep. I had begun to recognize the signs of my visions…but that didn't make them any better.For instance, the panic was still gripping me as I found myself in a sea of fire. Even though I couldn't feel the burning, the pain, and even though I knew better, I couldn't control the fear.Bryson. Where was Bryson? He would be able to help me. He always made it to help me.Yet I didn't see him now.I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out. There was nobody to hear me anyway.Except then there was.Wolves surrounded me now, and I couldn't control my hands as they struck out at anyone within striking distance. I looked down and saw my hands, wait no, my paws, covered in blood.As a healer, I was

  • Whisper of the Alpha   Chapter 30: Awakened

    *Ada*With a huge gasp, I sat bolt upright in bed.There was shouting and chaos all around me and I could hear people scrambling around. My eyes were open, but I wasn't taking any of it in. It was just shapes and voices. But then there was one voice in particular that I focused on."Ada!" Bryson whispered my name, but it felt like a shout.I turned, my eyes finally finding him. The residual fear from the dream was still pounding in my heart, but this time I was able to clearly differentiate between the person in the dream and Bryson.They were not the same person. They could never be the same person.Bryson seemed to notice the fear in my eyes though, he rushed forward."What is it? Are you hurt? What's wrong?" he asked in a worried tone, pushing my hair back from my face and feeling my forehead as if checking for fever.Yep, there was no similarity at all in him and the evil mate in my dream. Bryson cared about me. Even if he

    *Ada*Mates? Bryson and I? No, we couldn't be…Could we?I looked at Bryson again, really focusing on him and it felt as if a lightbulb went off, a fire lighting deep inside me.I thought of how I felt so drawn to him. I thought of how my feelings had grown so quickly, and how I hated to be apart from him. Everything I had done seemed destined by the gods, and I realized that it was true.Bryson was my mate.Without my wolf I hadn't realized, but it was clear now. My heart swelled as it continued to pound. There was a faint feeling of deja vu, as if part of me already realized or had discovered that he was my mate.The surprise was still so profound that I couldn't say anything, even as Cole continued to look between the two of us. My gaze went back to Bryson, but he was avoiding me.Had he already realized we were mates as well? If so, why hadn't he told me? His wolf was weaker, but I was sure that he should have figured it ou

    *Ada*'Ada-bug,I am so happy to hear that you are almost back up to full strength! It appears that it was a good thing for your father and I to suck up our pride and send you off to Grandmoon Pack.You are sure to recover much quicker there, where they have access to more medical supplies. Though I am happy to report that there still haven't been any more rogue attacks. Woo!The rebuilding is going well, the reason why is not important.I love getting your letters…please keep me posted and I look forward to your next letter.Love, MomP.S. I haven’t heard much about Bryson lately…is everything alright?'The letter hung in my hand, and I sighed in disappointment. Once again, my mother hadn't answered any of the questions I had asked, while simultaneously asking ones that I didn't want to answer either.In the first letter from my mom, she had told me that her and dad were working hard and had almost completely rebuilt th

    *Cole*The beautiful girl in front of me swung toward me at the sound of my voice. She seemed to move too quickly though, and her body kept moving to the side without her feet.I reached forward and gripped her arm surely as she fell to the side, righting her and pulling her back upright and closer to me.She let out a gasp and her eyes were squeezed tightly shut, making her nose crinkle in the cutest way."Easy there," I said with a little laugh. "Usually, it takes a little longer for me to knock a girl off her feet.""C-C-Cole," she stuttered out, opening her eyes and pressing her hand to her chest as I was sure her heart was beating fast.It takes her humorously long to look at me, register my hand on her arm, and have the blush creep up her face.Has she always been that cute? Maybe it was just being up so close to her now, or maybe it was with the color in her cheeks, but she was even better looking than I remembered."Tha

    *Ada*I stood there awkwardly as he shut the door behind us. My body was hyper-aware of his hand resting along my lower back.It seemed to be shaking."Bryson?" I whispered his name, not sure what to say. "Uh, what can I do for you?"He didn't answer at first, he just stepped closer to me, taking a deep breath in, as if savoring my smell. I suddenly felt lightheaded and felt myself stumble slightly."Did you have to drink so much?" Bryson said with an annoyed sigh, but I heard the amusement in his voice too."I didn't drink that much," I retorted. "It's not the alcohol that is affecting me now…it's you."Oh my goddess, did I really say that?? Maybe Cole was rubbing off on me because that was so cheesy…and so vulnerable…and it was a lie.Because the alcohol was obviously affecting me…it was making me more vocal and open.At my words, Bryson had sucked in a breath and tensed in front of me. "Talk to me, tell me what you're

    *Bryson*I lay in Ada's bed, unable to control the smile that spread across my face as I pulled her into my arms and curled her against me.For the first time in my life that I could remember I was blissfully happy. There was nothing else at that moment. Just me and Ada.Ada panted, as I held her tight, but I could feel the smile that was on her lips as well. Now that I marked her, our connection was even closer, and I was getting the humm of her emotions through the bond so much stronger than before. I should have done this ages ago."I told you," my wolf said from inside my mind, but his tone was teasing. He was in just as good of a mood as I was.Yet the longer we lay there, the more that reality set in. While I didn't regret what had just happened in any way, I started to worry about the repercussions.Ada seemed to be doing the same."So, what now?" Ada asked nervously, intertwining our hands as mine curled tighter around her.

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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. It was nearly as sparse as the information on the Western Pack and obviously just as biased.'THE CURSED LUNA:Driven mad by pregnancy. Her power was so insatiable that she needed to be fed blood every day to stay awake.

She was kept there for many years, restricting her access to the moon as well. Weakening
