Apollo Sleep seemed impossible last night when my mate was so close to me, yet seemed so far away. As soon as I woke up, I got changed into a pair of black slacks and a gray cashmere shirt and I rushed to see her. I tried to pick something soft to wear so that if she touched me, maybe she would want to keep touching me. I knock on her door and feel a little nervous as I wait for a response. I hope she doesn’t mind me seeing her first thing this morning. The door opens and I see a short woman with black hair in front of me. She stutters as she greets me, “Alpha Apollo, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” I can’t help but chuckle from her nervousness. All I can focus on is Lux and her strawberry scent that has overwhelmed my senses. I ask the flustered woman, “And who are you, Ms.?” Suddenly Lux appears and I feel like I’m awestruck by her. She is so effortlessly beautiful with her casual outfit, dark brown hair braided to the side, just a hint of makeup that just helps to enhance some
Lux It’s been a week since I met Apollo and, for the most part, all my days have been filled with him. Occasionally he has a phone call or something pertaining to his pack, and he will leave me so he can go train with the royal warriors, but from the beginning to the end of the day, he has taken up most of my time. I’m surprised when this morning I wake up to Kai, pouncing on my bed. I ask him, startled, “What the hell are you doing?” He announces, “I have a bone to pick with you and your mate, so I came in here early to make sure I made it before he did!” I take a deep breath and have my hand placed over my heart and I ask, “What is this bone you have to pick with me and Apollo?” He huffs, “The boys and I only have you here for so much longer! Why the heck is this guy getting to greet you first thing in the morning, pick out your outfits, and spend all the time with you whenever he’ll get to do that with you for the rest of your lives?! We only get so much time before you’re gone
Silas When Kai dragged all of us towards Lux’s room this morning, I had no clue what he had up his sleeve. Once we were in front of her door, David glared at me as if to say that I needed to keep my mouth shut. As soon as Kai got into her room, he started going off on how we all miss being around her and how much Apollo was taking up her time. My heart ached from the truth in his words, but I couldn’t let it show. Calvin didn’t seem to care because he spends all of his spare time with Iris, same for David and I, we are constantly around Charlotte. I feel bad for Kai because he’s the only one out of the 5 of us. He is the only one who doesn’t have a mate, so he doesn’t realize how they seem to fully take over your life and all your senses. But as I look at Lux, I can’t help but think that maybe I don’t know what it’s like to feel that for my mate, either. I mean, Charlotte is attractive, but I don’t feel drawn to her the same way David does. David is like a lovesick puppy and hangs
Lux Nadia is quiet as she fixes my hair and does my makeup. She has always been able to read my mood pretty well and she can tell that I am not in the mood to talk right now. Today is honestly a day that I just want to stay in my room and be by myself. But I have a mate that I need to be around and get more comfortable with, and I guess it would be good for me to keep busy and distract myself from my sadness. Nadia says proudly as she finishes braiding my hair, “Done!” I say, “Thank you, Nadia.” “It’s not a problem, Lux. In fact, I think it’s one of my favorite parts of the job.” I smile in response, and she asks in a suggestive tone, “Would you like me to help you find Alpha Apollo?” My mouth opens as I am about to reply to her whenever I hear Kai’s voice in a sudden mind link and he says, “Come, join me outside. Just you, I need to shift.” I can’t help the heavy sigh that comes out of my mouth, and I say, “I need to go see Kai for a moment. If Apollo comes looking for me, ple
Silas The last thing I remember was Kai’s wolf, Loki, forcing mine to push me out. My wolf, Jax, has apologized to me and seems frustrated over everything. He gave me full control as I continue to run in our wolf form back to the house. I need to know if Kai and Lux were pushed out too and what on Earth Kai’s wolf could be up to. I rush to the house, and I see Kai has already shifted back and is in a pair of basketball shorts and next to him is Lux and she’s in a sundress. I stop when I see her, as I can’t help but admire her beauty for just a second. I huff as I get myself out of my daze and walk over to them. I ask, “Kai, what was with your wolf forcing mine to block me out?” He looks at me, confused and startled, and looks over at Lux. I can tell from the way his eyes glazed over that he is mind linking her, but neither are giving any answer to what’s going on. I look at Kai suspiciously and I wonder if his wolf forced him into the back of his mind and just fully took over all
Lux When I get back to my room, I find some warmer clothes. It’s now fall, and I love the cool breeze that we constantly feel and if I could have it my way, I would wear dresses all the time. We’re werewolves. We rarely get cold, but try telling that to my mother! She would have a complete fit and eventually get you to agree that wearing a sweater was the better option. I found a soft sweater along with some jeans and got dressed quickly, knowing that Apollo would be here to hang out with me soon. When I hear the knock on the door and the scent of leather and cherries get strong, I know that he’s right there. The butterflies’ storm through my stomach as every day that we are together I feel a stronger connection to him, and I believe it causes our bond to be stronger. I open the door and smile as his scent waves over me. Suddenly, his lips are on mine, and his hands weave through my hair. I faintly hear the door shut, and it doesn’t matter. All I can focus on is him and how I des
Silas I roll over in my bed with a groan and glance at the clock to see that it’s 3:00 a.m. I huff loudly in frustration because I’m unable to sleep. Too much is on my mind, and I cannot get it to shut off. It’s been 2 days since we made our plans with Charlotte to head to her pack. It feels like a lot has gone on since then. Things have changed and now we’re not just visiting Charlotte’s family. We are actually going to stay there an entire week and help them pack so that they can move to our pack. King Archer approved the transfer, and the Alpha of their small pack knows better than to disagree with the King. On top of that, Charlotte’s family is full of omegas, so most alphas view them as worthless. They are going to be in for a huge culture shock when they come here and see how well the royal family treats their Omegas. My panic has gone down a bit… it’s still hard for me. I try my best to hide it from David and Charlotte. But they are so lost in one another, it doesn’t seem
Lux I couldn’t fall asleep after Silas left. My brother, my mom, Nadia, and a couple of other omegas were going to come with me to the Bloodlust Pack. My dad wanted to come to, but with David and Silas leaving this week as well, it made him hesitant to come with us. I get it. I’m not upset about it at all. He will come as soon as he feels like he can. Or once Kai takes the throne, then I think both my parents would come visit me frequently. We’re supposed to leave at 7. Silas came to see me around 3 and no one has come to get me up yet, but I can hear the faint hustle and bustle as people get up and start with their morning routines. I sigh heavily as I feel like there is an anchor on my heart weighing me down and making me feel as if I’m drowning. I miss Apollo. It is like a physical ache not having him around and it has definitely surprised me. It is just now the third day without being around him and it makes my feelings for him clearer. I am falling for him. I wouldn’t say tha
