This beautiful woman in front of me, this brave woman who had somehow found the courage to end the life of the man I had been dreaming of killing since soon after my arrival in his pack four years ago was now pulling me away from the pack after we had been told my pack was being invaded. Something told me, that when she told me she needed to escape she hadn’t been entirely honest. Not that she needed to be. But, I had to accept she had no reason to be. She likely felt she could trust nobody right now, and who could blame her? She had been holed up in our hell hole of a pack for too long, isolated and feeling alone. It was enough to send anybody insane. And, while I may have been trying to ensure she was kept a little safer, she had been oblivious to that. I could not be caught talking to her, or I would have been made to suffer from the hands of the Alpha. He would have hurt me. Killed me, like he had done many omegas before who had gone against his rules. But, no
Dashing through the forest to the borders as fast I could was frustrating in human form. We needed to be able to speak to anyone we came across. Explain why we were out, and our obvious answer was the one Cara had earlier used. A leisurely walk. That would not be in wolf form. Yet, Orla was desperate to push through and take over, knowing she would be able to get us to our location so much faster than my two feet. But, I had to be so wary of how I was doing things right now. Nothing could put us at risk. We could not be far from the border when my mindlink began going crazy. ‘Evelyn. Are you near?’ Cayden’s voice was anxious, no doubt hoping all was okay. ‘Evelyn? Please let us know how you are. Are you with Aiden now?’ Jackson’s voice this time. ‘Ev? Baby, please, I need to hear your voice again.’ Cayden once more. ‘Hey both of you. I am here, just making my way to the edge of the borders. So glad to hear you! Aiden is not with me. He got angry. Thou
I ran or my wolf did, through the pack and out across the border back to heading toward home. But I am doing my hardest to control Rek. Telling him he must go to find our mates. Evelyn may have deserted us for that good for nothing fucking evil Alpha, but my other mates were out here somewhere waiting for her. They needed to know what she had done. They needed to know to stop this war. She had made our choice. Our girl had made her decision and it was not us. ‘Rek, take a step back a minute. We need to find the others.’ ‘No. They will tell us to find her.’ Rek snarls at me through the link we share. ‘Rek, this is not just about you. Or me. We have our other mates. Cayden and Jackson need us to let them know what is happening.’ I tell him. ‘We need to make sure they are safe. I do not want to live with the thought I was the cause of them being hurt if it were to happen.’ Rek growls, but I can tell from the change in the speed in which he is running he is
Our forces had awaited the signal to invade the two Packs. All our preparations had led us to this moment. The majority of the packs within our region united to bring an end, we hoped, to this conflict. I just hoped our future Luna was able to do her part. She seemed such a sweet girl when I had seen her around pack and with the Alpha and Beta. So shy and reserved, so the thought of her being the one to take down the most feared man in our territory seemed almost unbelievable, but Ariella had visions of this, and we had believed her. We had to. We had no other hope... The majority of my warriors were based at River Ash Pack. There to help take down the many warriors of Night Shade Pack. End the damage and destruction they were lavishing upon our neighbouring pack. We knew, despite having the warriors of many other packs by our sides, we would be close to being outnumbered. Night Shade Pack was massive. So many people. And their Alpha made them all fight too when it came to
Our pack was suddenly swamped under supporting troops from our surrounding packs. This was the denfensive attack we had been told of. I only hoped my sister was safe as they had forewarned us. I cannot lie, I hated myself for having to give her up in order to protect our mother. But, I had been naïve in believing she would bring her mates, but even then, I believed her mates would save her. Yet, I have awaited each day for news. News of her safe return to their pack, but there has been nothing. No news. And each time I questioned it, I learned Evelyn was staying with Alpha Blake. Rumours were spreading he planned to make her his Luna. Something had gone wrong. So wrong. Evelyn had mates. Three of them. What would she want with a man so much older than her? One that was so evil and sinister? It had made no sense to me… All until this plan had been unveiled to us. Then, the truth became apparent. My sister was deceiving the Alpha. They all were. Which is why her mates ha
I paced on through the edges of the forest, anxiously. Knowing I was out of the borders of Night Shade Pack now. But also knowing that Blake’s body had to have been found now, because as Cara left she sent a crazed mindlink out to all of her pack that she had found the dead body of their Alpha. She told me she thought it would be a good idea to allow the pack to know their Alpha was dead, so they may surrender the fighting. And, as terrified as I was for the consequences of my actions, I think she may be right. Because if the warriors of Night Shade Pack learn of Alpha Blake’s death they may choose to surrender of their own accord. Bring the plan me and my mates had to a conclusion. This could bring this decades long conflict to an end finally. Blake’s life would be at an end, along with the war he envisioned. ‘Orla, do you feel anything? Are they still fighting?’ I ask my wolf as we move through the trees towards the place I need to meet my mates. Dreading the
I watch the woman in front of us, and the coldness emanating from her. It is piercing my heart like a dagger each time she looks at me coldly. This was not the Evelyn who left us. But, I don’t think it would be fair to expect her to be the same considering what she had had to endure. But, I had hoped she would be as pleased to see us as we were her! Although, Aiden’s behaviour seemed truly inexplicable. He was rude and argumentative when he saw her. And, I cannot help but wonder if that is the reasoning for her cold front with us all. After all, it would not be the first time she had punished us as a group… “I want to be alone. Can you take me home.” Evelyn tells us, making me frown. I understand nothing more than the need to go home. I would love the exact same thing for us all. Of course I would. But we had commitments to our warriors. To the other packs defending our region alongside ours. We could not just walk out on the plan we had devised together. We needed to s
I stand in a daze in the grounds of the pack I had been held a virtual prisoner at. Listening to the voices of many Alphas trying to pull rank now. Of course, they had worked together to end the reign of Alpha evil himself. But, now, they seemed unable to work together… bickering like young school boys… I look to Aiden and Cayden is desperation, my head pounding from the noise. I did not want to be back here. This place held too many horrible memories as it was, but this situation on top of that was only adding to the pressure building within my mind. We were supposed to be coming to deal with the pack members, I am sure that is what they had said… not creating another conflict between every other remaining pack! ‘Are you okay sweetheart?’ Aiden’s voice echoes through the mindlink as we walk toward our destination. I want to hate him for how he treated me earlier, and no doubt I would be angry at him for some time, but he was trying hard at the moment to take care of
