I had no choice but to accept the help of the most irritating man ever, and we were walking through the forest together. He stomped heavily through the trees, evidently knowing where he was going. Which I could not lie, was definitely a good thing, because without Akira here with me, I had no clue where I was going! Of all the times for her to go off in a huff, now was definitely not an ideal time...“Were you on patrol?” I asked. I only spoke because I was hating the awkward silence between us, but at the same time I so desperately not wanting to talk to him either. “Will you get in trouble for leaving?”“Yes I was, but nah I shouldn’t think so. Found some loner wandering in the forest, so I am bringing her back to pack for interrogation. Don't think they can argue with me on that one.” He winked at me.“Interrogation?” I rolled my eyes.“Hmm, well, your name could be a start?” he grinned.“Oh.” I felt my cheeks heating at his joke, he had clearly been teasing me, and that had worke

I had spent the rest of the day alone in my room. The incident with the Beta caused me to feel the need to curl up in bed. I wanted to be alone. I had been struggling with the thought of Harley finding his fated mate. I know it was crazy. It truly felt like I had suffered a major loss… yet he was never mine to lose. Maybe I just allowed myself to get a little too close… and nothing had really happened between us… but I knew feelings were there. They were developing. The promise of a chosen matebond had meant everything to me. Knowing someone saw me as enough…And then for Beta Asher to so coldly throw what felt like my loss back in my face when he had seen how much it was hurting me had been difficult. I had wanted to speak to my Mum, but she wasn’t answering my calls, her messages in response to my calls told me things were a little hectic in the pack… hmm, yeah, I can only imagine if my Dad and Jordan had gone in there all guns blazing.But, again, not one of them would update with

Life at home could not be more perfect. Waking up to the most beautiful of mates each and every day was sheer heaven. Wearing her mark upon my neck, showing the world that I was hers… and her wearing mine, to show the world she was mine… made for one another. I would happily spend every day in our new home. But, things within the pack were unsettled. News had spread that Miles had been sent away. Sent to treatment for his anger as well as for additional training, for if he were to become Alpha. Though the official line for pack members is that he is gaining additional Alpha training. Wanting to be the best Alpha he can be…Ha. I don’t think there was a good Alpha in him anymore. I am not certain there ever was. It was only in recent weeks I had seen the truth. And the clearer it had become. How I had never seen it before, I honestly don't know. I think perhaps a small part of me was swept away by it all... in him... in his power... the aura of him... he certainly had that ability. So

I stormed through the packhouse, rage rushing through me at everything Ellis had told me. How can he be so dismissive of his brother? He had to know that Miles was out of control. He had seen it as much as I had… ‘Baby, are you okay? I can feel you through the bond and you feel so angry. Has something happened?’ Gia’s voice, almost purrs at me through the mindlink, and instantly I feel better. Damn, I wish I could have stayed home with her… ‘Sorry beautiful, I forget you can feel my emotions through that thing sometimes. Yeah, I am okay. I just saw Ellis, and something he said got on my nerves. Are you okay?’ I replied, not wanting her to be worried. She didn't need to know all of my worries. I wanted her to enjoy her time here in the pack and not be caught up in all of these recent dramas. Yet, since the moment she had arrived, she had been trapped in every bit of the drama, and I hated that. It was not the welcome to my pack I wanted for my mate. ‘Yeah, I am just maki

After being snarled at down the phone far too many times by the ever so cheerful Luna of our pack, I made my way to the school. Avoiding eye contact with the pack members as I walked through the corridors of the packhouse, a sure fire way to avoid conversation with them. I had not even been allowed time to have my coffee thanks to Eden being so grumpy and demanding I make my way to the school immediately, before the school starting time, so to ensure that Bailey was okay.What she thought would be wrong I didn’t know. Not like she wasn’t capable. She was a trained teacher after all. This is what we employed her for. If she was going to need monitoring all the time, then I think we needed to look elsewhere... She should be perfectly able to manage. A perfectly capable she-wolf.‘Who fell off a ladder, after deciding it was a good idea to climb it in socks?’ Zion pointed out, and I chuckled.‘Yeah fair point.’‘So, do we get to sing nursery rhymes with them at school when we visit?’ Zio
