Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 18 - Amber's Beauty
Alexa moaned, the sound scratching against her dry throat as the back of her head throbbed with a sharp pain, and an uncomfortable sensation radiated in her back. Great, something else was digging into her back now. She was leaning against something rigid, its deep, ridged grooves digging awkwardly into her flesh causing her great discomfort. Her eyes fluttered open for a second time that day and were met with a purpling sky. It must have been hours since she had blacked out and the thought caused her great concern. She lay there against whatever was making dents into her back and tried to get her thoughts straight. Alexa’s head throbbed whenever she tried to think back on what had happened and she decided to try and remove herself from her painful position. Alexa tried to push herself up and away from the uncomfortable object, when the shooting pain in her left wrist reminded her of the events that had happened, what looked to be like a few hours earlier. With gritted teeth, she w

To the distracted werewolf the day seemed to speed by as it had the day he had escorted that mud-colored mutt after it had the audacity to attack the already wounded female. All the while he did his duty to protect his pack he felt as if he were neglecting a duty, he was unaware he even had. Flashes of pale skin stained with bright blood kept flashing through his mind and it set off a wave of anger in him he was unaware he was capable of. After taking the rogue wolf to the pack house he immediately took the mutt to be placed in their cells where he would wait for the return of their alpha, Aaron Black. Although still not the true Alpha of the Black Pine Forest pack he did his best to be the best temporary Alpha for the pack. It sometimes meant missing out on important dates with his son, especially after the disappearance of his mother. Aiden was still proud to be the next Beta of the pack, it was what he was born to do. Once the mutt had been safely locked away behind bars in the m

A few hours ago standing in utter silence a family stared at a handheld radio with a mixture of hatred and despair. Something had happened to the device or the tower that was blocking their signal. They could not call for help, they stared on in their horror for a few moments more before they were jolted out of their misery by an angry yell and the sound of the device smashing against a tree. Isaac gasped for breath, his throat screaming in protest at his cry of anger. His mother stared at him before clearing her throat sparing a small glance at the device and noted in relief that it was somewhat still intact. She clapped her hands together to gain the attention of the others. “If we can’t call for help then we go and get it,” she stated as a matter of factly. “That will take too long, by the time we pack up it will already be nightfall, and who’s to say the sheriff will be willing to talk to us in the middle of the night, that’s if we somehow get back to town before tomorrow!” Isa

Fury bubbled and brewed beneath the surface of his skin pushing against it savagely almost threatening to tear his flesh apart just to be released. A new bandage made itself at home around his knuckles where he had taken his rage out on an innocent building and yet it gave him no relief. The rage churned violently beneath his dark eyes as he stared at the family across the clearing frantically trying to get a search party together. Why was none of his plans working out? How has she once again slipped from his grasp? Why was she so unwilling to stay in place until he retrieved her. Once again, she had gone beyond both his reach and his sight. Once again, he would have to push back his plans and wait until she was found, and it infuriated him to no end. Oh, how he would take pleasure in punishing her for her unacceptable behavior. As if it had not been enough that he had been forced to wait two years to see her, now she was gone again. He would be sure she would not wander out of his

Sheriff John Dalton had his hands full with a worried and frantic woman named Jean Winters. He had been dealing with her since she had nearly kicked down his door this morning at dawn. He understood that the woman was frantic to find her daughter before the freeze set in but there was only so much the man could do. His wife had been a saint at helping soothe a bit of the mother’s worry, but even that had not lasted long. He had to ensure the locals did not stumble upon the pack’s territory whilst still looking for the girl wherever they could. Of course, he had brought up asking them for help locating the girl, but Jean had outright refused. The pack didn’t know about Jeffery’s passing or the fact that they had returned to Black pines. Unknown to the rest of the Winters family the sheriff had known the worried brunette most of his life, having been born and raised here, in the quaint little town of Black Pines. Of course, she hadn’t changed since he had first met her as a child and a

Isaac Winters watched impatiently as people slowly signed up for the search party that would soon be headed out. He stood there by the sign-up sheet, foot tapping with his haste and fingers drumming to the beat of his impatience in the nooks of his elbows. A glower on his olive skin, hazel eyes dark with impatience and anger. How long does it take to sign a damn piece of paper and start looking? The eighteen-year-old twin was very anxious to get out there and find his other half. He couldn’t understand what was taking the sheriff so long to start the search party. It didn’t help his impatience that his mother had begun pacing back and forth constantly worried about the slow but steady drop in temperature. Especially after what looked like a serious conversation she had with the sheriff. When her son asked about the conversation he was brushed off, all she said was it had something to do with finding his sister. Isaac despised secrets, especially now since his own secrets had almost d

The wrong direction indeed … When Alexa woke from the slumber, she didn’t know she had fallen into, she was startled to see the sun had risen and that it had already begun to snow. This meant that the temperature would already begin to drop and that she had to get out of this forest if she was going to survive. The redhead was relieved to see the fire she had built late in the night had lasted the rest of the night while she had slumbered. But she was distressed to see that it had begun to die. She shivered as the last of the embers died out, leaving her without her only heat source. She found that she had been relying on those small flames she had mustered a little more than she thought. Of course, she had not expected it to start snowing sometime during the night. Her exposed arm began to burn as it was exposed to the cold, and she shivered. Alexa was concerned that if she didn’t start moving again soon, she would slowly freeze to death. The eighteen-year-old knew her only chance

After watching her limp away from her makeshift campsite Aiden had returned home and spent most of the day with the pack, anxiously awaiting the return of his father as he was away on a business trip. He was so lost in thought, thinking about the beautiful female that he had so desperately wanted to return to that eventually even his best friend started to notice the absent-mindedness. He tried to avoid him as much as he possibly could, until Aiden couldn’t take it anymore and left, running back to his female. Yes, he knew this would possibly cause a major stir-up back at the pack house, but honestly, he couldn’t care. Aiden was slowly coming to terms with the fact his wolf had claimed the injured female as his own, this made him wonder what he knew that Aiden didn’t. Of course, this wasn’t the first time his wolf understood the importance of something before Aiden himself did. Aiden ran as fast as he could to the place where the seemingly twenty-year-old had left her, but when he

Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Epilogue
** Warning: Graphic mentions of violence and torture, mentions of rape, and graphic sexual content **Far away from the damaged Burrough across many, many acres of land, over hills and mountains, across rivers and streams, nestled in an open valley welcomed by a glistening silver lake and flanked by white-toothed mountains stood a tall ivory castle, lit up by the silver beams of the moon.The surrounding land was peaceful and the night quiet for all weary travelers wandering through the nearby forests, but it was anything but peaceful within the ivory walls, for what was once a beautiful shrine to the moon goddess was now possessed by a much darker, more sinister entity.For on a marble throne adorned with the skulls of his enemies sat the hulking figure of something more beast than man. His heavily scarred features could strike fear in all who gazed upon him as he relaxed back in his stolen seat, the once polished marble now permanently stained crimson from all the bloodshed during h
Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 95 - Alpha Awakened
“NO!” Jean cried out, the sound grating against the sides of her throat as Aiden’s glistening, sharp fangs sunk into the tender flesh of her daughter’s neck. With a burst of power, she ripped the werewolf from her child and unceremoniously tossed him across the room, a common theme today it seemed, not particularly concerned about the grandfather clock he shattered along the way. “What have you done?!” she cried, pulling Alexa into her arms as the once thrashing girl stilled, almost as if she had died. “We just said that it could kill her! How could you be so stupid?!” Jayden angrily yelled. “I couldn’t just sit here and watch her die, I had to do something!” he sat up, wiping the blood from his lips as his fangs receded and his eyes changed back to green. “You don’t get to decide that mutt!” Isaac rebuffed, now coming face to face with the shifter, chest puffed out in anger and a defiant look raging in his glimmering green eyes. “She’s my mate,” “That means nothing if she’s dea
Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 94 - Last Resort
Alexa thrashed on the forest floor in an uncontrollable manner, her body spasming horrifically in the now-destroyed sanctuary. She was clawing at her own skin as she attempted to dig out the fire spreading through her veins, nails digging into the bite on her neck. Alexa screamed as if she were being tortured from the inside out as the vampire venom disseminated through every fiber of her being. Oh God, it hurt, it hurt so bad! She was burning up from the inside. Make it stop! She pleaded silently as nothing but screams ripped through her throat. Aiden rushed to her side, almost keeling over himself as her pain burst through their soul bond uninhibited feeling like a raging ocean was trying to overwhelm him and pull him under with its intensity. Desperation bloomed in his chest as he reached out to the seizing girl and pulled her into his arms. Alexa screamed and cried out at the feel of his hands on her skin, she tried to jerk out of his arms, but he only held on tighter. “Alexa,
Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 93 - Face to Face
Spinning around Alexa came face to face with the object of her nightmares. The sight of his blood-red eyes leering at her in a bestial manner as if he were the hunter and she his prey, which she considered to be exactly the situation she was in. The cold grin that stretched across his deathly pale face sent shivers down her spine and she felt her skin break out into goosebumps. With her heart hammering in her chest, she stared back into the gleaming crimson orbs and told herself that she was not the same girl he had broken nine months ago. “Julian,” His grin spread impossibly wider, and he let out a pleased hum, stalking toward her until he stood directly before her. “Good girl, you still remember me,” he reached out with his icy fingers, reaching out he pulled at a strand of her luscious red curls, bringing it up to his nose where he took a long deep breath and almost purred as he scented her. “Your hair is longer, what a pity,” he let the silky locks slip from his fingers as he
Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 92 - Sanctuary
“What?” “Dream walking. It’s when you fall into a hypnotized-like trance,” “What could cause such a thing?” “Honestly I don’t know, I’ve never seen anyone do it before,” “But you’re over a hundred years old!” “That doesn’t mean I know everything you disrespectful child!” Jean snapped at her son, angered by his need to remind her of her many years on this earth. “There must be something we can do, anything you might know Aunt Jean,” Jayden replied warily, staring at the redhead’s back in concern. “There’s a myth that dream walking is the result of a deity calling you to them, if that’s the case then it’s no wonder I’ve never seen it before,” Jean massaged her temple, willing the migraine creeping its way into her brain to disappear. “Why?” “Our Gods rarely ever interact with us directly, to summon one of us means that something of great importance is needed, and the fact that they waited for the solar eclipse to do it is even more peculiar,” “So what? Let’s snap her out of it,
Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 91 - She Calls
With his wolf-enhanced reflexes, Aiden quickly stabilized Alexa as the earth violently shifted beneath their feet. Glass décor shattered in a thunderous roar as it fell from the countertops in their room. A mutual look of concern passed between them, for they both knew that the unforeseen force behind the tremors was anything but natural. Not when it was accompanied by the shrill panic-stricken screams of their pack mates. ‘Their?’ the thought startled Alexa unsure as to when she had started thinking of this wolf pack as hers. With a shake of her head, she quickly banished the thought as quickly as it had struck her. Now was obviously not the time to dwell on such frivolous concerns. Instead, she focused on the strong hands that were securely wrapped around her upper arms. These large appendages were the only thing keeping her upright as the unnatural quake died down, but the sounds from outside did not follow suit. Without so much as a sound between them, they both dashed out the
Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 90 - Solar Eclipse
Ten months he had waited, ten grueling months he had trained and plotted his revenge. Ten long agonizingly boring months he had nurtured the ego of a foul-smelling dog and her pitiful desire to rule over her pack of wild mutts. For nearly a year he had been plagued by an unquenchable thirst and the need to claim his revenge. It was almost as if he were hyper-focused on those two fixed points in his life. And although he learned to control his new state of being surprisingly quickly that hyper-focus could lead to his own downfall. Not that the man himself noticed too fixated on enacting his revenge too much to think about anything else, much less what he would do once he had it. Shaun, who had trained the new vampire on the wishes of his mistress could see the crazed gleam in the man’s undead gaze and wondered not for the first time what his mistress had seen in the newborn. His mistress, Amara, had never been the kind to explain the reasons behind her actions and Shaun had learned
Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 89 - Confession
“You don’t know,” Alexa’s eyes welled up with tears threatening to fall, her bare feet burning unprotected from the blistering cold. Aiden looked at her with an unreadable expression, one that not even she, who had learned to see the emotion behind his eyes could decipher. “I don’t know where I’m going, I wake up in a different place each time,” “Each time? How long has this been happening?” The flash of anger through their bond was enough to ground Alexa’s shaky thoughts, and she clung onto it as if it were a buoy floating in the middle of a raging sea and she was caught up in the tumultuous waves. Alexa was at a loss for words as they stared at one another. His anger was clear in his eyes. How could she tell him that she was scared, drawn in by an unknown force that called out to her even in her waking hours? “How long, Alexa?” he asked again, with more force behind his words. “A few months,” She let out a tired sigh. “A few months?!” the shock and the anger swirled within, f
Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within Chapter 88 - Dream Walker
Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Spring bloomed, chasing away the winter chill, Summer burned hot that year until finally autumn leaves began to fall and the wind turned cold once more. It was funny how quickly Alexa became accustomed to living among the pack. No longer did she feel out of place as if she stuck out like a sore thumb. Eventually, many of the pack members warmed up to her presence and began accepting her not only as Aiden’s mate but as their future Alpha too. Her only problem being her unwanted run-ins with Vanessa, who was dead set on causing her as much grief as possible. Still opposed to both ideas she had learned to keep her thoughts to herself as many of the wolves couldn’t understand her opposition having been raised in pack life where all this was just another ordinary day to them. Even the few humans who had not been raised within the pack and who had had time to acclimate didn’t understand her firm stand against being labeled Aiden’s mate
