Dianne wasn't sure how to answer Alaric. To out right come out and say they may have stumbled upon a couples quarrel wasn't going to cut it.“ I will fill you in later. I am surprised there wasn't any bloodshed in the conference room.” Dianne deflected, choosing to steer Alaric’s mind away from her and Isadora. She couldn't quite pinpoint it but there was something going on between them. if that was the case...“What do you mean?” Luckily Alaric changed the topic.“The pheromones... our guards were pretty much on the brink of letting loose. even my mom was feeling tense when we drove up to the casino. dont get me started on how this floor reeked of carnage.” Dianne said, exaggerating the words she could, it made Alaric chuckle.“It couldn't have been that bad. As usual, Kierran was ready to rip both Eutychus and Darrian a new one. I regret stopping him but I wasn't in the mood for a brawl. ” Alaric said, sneaking a few bites from the bowl Dianne was eating from, this move however, h
The last few days had proven hectic for Isadora. They had finally arrived for her official union with Eutychus as his mate and Luna of the Nightfall pack. Just as Finnian had said, the elders had been incharge of everything ceremony related. From the venue set up to security outside. With no other family member but her father, she was with the lovely company of the maids that worked in the Alpha’s residence. She was pampered in all the ways she could think of , almost to the point of getting fed. Her father had gotten her the most exquisite dress and was perhaps the best thing about this whole arrangement. “ I can't believe this day has arrived, my only daughter is about to become a luna. We should thank your mother. ” Mr. Smith had said as he watched his daughter getting help with the dress. “Aren't you supposed to be crying? Won't you miss me? ” Isadora joked. “I should be asking you that, as a Luna, you will be too busy for mere peasants like me.” Her father replied with a blind
Alaric shook his head. No matter how right the word would feel on his tongue, he could not speak it—never. So he did the next best thing and focused on his half-brother's face. Rage was far better off than the unmentionable word. He welcomed the anger that brewed in his chest as he watched Eutychus's face light up when they locked eyes with Isadora. He looked happy, proud even. It was at this time that Alaric knew he wasn't angry at his father for kicking him out. Nor was he angry at Eutychus for not standing by him back then. It was jealousy. It should have been him; he was supposed to be the next alpha. She was supposed..."Alpha..." He heard Ceann's worried voice calling his name, and he thanked the Moon Goddess. His thoughts were wandering about. "Pheromones," Ceann added, and Alaric realized his thoughts were not the only things that wandered freely."Oh... sorry. We should leave. I can't stand it here," Alaric said, a poor excuse to head back to his pack and pray his head starts
As a fierce growl rippled through the air, a bloody Kierran and an angry Patrick emerged from the shadows, launching themselves right in front of their Luna. Patrick had shifted into his wolf form, and the blood clinging to his fur told a short story. Darrian's men were caught off guard, never expecting such a formidable defence. Kierran locked eyes with Leo, the man wielding another burning torch."You picked the wrong night to trespass," Kierran growled, his voice raw with primal rage. Behind them, Dianne stood fuming. Her rage could almost be tasted."It hasn't been a fortnight since our pack was announced, and here we are warding off strays," Dianne spoke, finally stepping down to address the trespassers. "The paint in the house hasn't even dried yet," Dianne added, looking up at the thin smoke emerging from her room."Enough! Call your hounds off and leave while I'm being nice!" Kierran growled. He was never one to be patient, but the man had a flaming torch. Anything and everyth
Kierran didn't wait for Dianne's whimper of pain to fully escape her lips as she tried to fight off some mutt, not that he would ever allow anyone to harm his Luna. He lunged. Claws extended, he was a whirlwind of fur and fury aimed at the closest attacker, a hulking male with a savage grin. The air cracked with the sound of claws meeting flesh. The grin turned into a howl as Kierran ripped through the man's shoulder, sending him crashing back into the bushes.Leo, arrogance momentarily forgotten, stumbled back, eyes wide with terror. Not at Kierran, but at the monstrous silhouette that filled the doorway. Alaric.To think someone had the balls to attack his home was appalling to Alaric. Even worse, the thought of his unborn child in harm's way was enough to make him see red. How. Dare. YOU!!!” He all but shook with fury, no. He was fury incarnate. Black hair, usually kept in a loose braid, hung wild around his face. Blood-red eyes scanned the scene, taking in Dianne's form and the tw
Today was the last day in her father's house and the first day of the rest of her life. Isadora was going to move in with the Alpha-to-be and to say she was happy was an understatement. She was the luckiest recessive Omega to exist in her lifetime and she was going to be Mated -hopefully- to the one and only Eutychus Brown, heir to the Brown empire and future Alpha of The Nightfall Pack.She smiled as she packed up her stuff, trying her best to smother the doubt that was welling deep within her. She had been through enough rejections and blind dates and had worked her little omega ass off to appear as perfect as she could. When her dad had said he had set her up with Eutychus and that she better not fuck it up as she did with the others, she made sure to look as pure and as meek as an omega should be, of course with the help of her suppressants and portion - her perfume. Things had been rough for her ever since her first shift failed drastically. The pack members had looked at her wi
Alaric is a hybrid Alpha- A Lycan wolf, born from a Pack that rejected him for being different. It wasnt his fault that He was a wolf with mixed genetics from different subspecies of wolves ,yet his father had falsely accused his mother of infidelity, and when Alaric's wolf presented as a Lycan, he was cast out of the Pack immediately. He found solace among the local rogue wolves, who had chosen to reject Pack rules and live outside of the Pack’s conventions that mostly shunned anything different especially Lycans. Despite the scorn of his father and the wider wolf community, Alaric worked hard to make a name for himself. He rallied the rogues that he had fought with countless times as he tried to survive alone. Luck was on his side since his hybrid nature came in handy whenever he had to fight for whatever he wanted. At first, he felt lost and angry at just 21 he had no one to rely on. The first few months were brutal and when winter rolled in, he knew the streets were not for the w
Darrian Darrian sat in the luxurious leather seat of his private jet, staring out the window as the plane soared above the clouds. He had been away for four long years, travelling the world in search of a perfect mate, one that would replace the numbness in his chest, but he had yet to find her. As he looked out at the endless expanse of blue sky and white clouds, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment and a hint of regret and wondered if perhaps he had been too rash in rejecting the one meant for him, however, if he was to replace Eutychus, he had to be the best. He had been so sure that he would find a suitable mate on this trip, but now he was returning home, to try once more. The plane began to descend and the familiar outline of his hometown came into view, Darian couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and pride that he was no longer just the son of a Beta. He was now part of the elite society that basically made rules for the pack, he had money and with th
