Leah’s POV I went straight for Victor’s throat, knowing I would never make contact, but I had to keep everyone distracted enough for Elyse to work her magic. It took some time for her portion of the plan to initiate and we needed everyone looking the other way. What better way to distract a whole room of aggressive men than a good old fashioned challenge of authority? Ellinore joined me in the fight, I could see her take down Seamus almost instantly with a clothesline maneuver out of the corner of my eye. I’m not even sure if he knew how to put up a fight anymore. Man that guy is a wimp, how was he ever an Alpha? Nyx exclaimed. Honestly I didn’t have an answer for her, but I had a feeling his being Alpha had something to do with who his chosen mate more than him actually being a qualified Alpha, like many of the Elders, who clung to their superiority complexes like it was oxygen, he married into his rank. His chosen mate was the daughter of an Alpha and he a Beta or Gamma. She
Damien’s POV “I just kissed her!” was all I could think. I don’t know if the action was more me or my wolf, but it was amazing. My whole body is still on fire from that one contact. My hand lit up with the little fireworks as I touched the back of her neck and the absolute euphoric explosion that ripped through my whole body when our lips met is something I will never soon forget. As I’m running to catch up with the other leaders, my wolf is scratching at my insides to turn around and go back to her. I have never been so drawn to a person as I am to her. Even when we were little, the few times we were able to spend time alone my wolf and I always felt at peace, like she brought me calm just being close. Trent is definitely going to try to kill me when he finds out. Leah was promised to him when she
[Present Day]Leah’s POVI know it's sad, but I still have that black t-shirt 10 years later. I sleep in it almost every night. I don’t even know if he would remember giving it to me. I’m sure that it’s super creepy, but I can’t help it. I saw it as a piece of himself that he gave willingly to help me, with no other intentions or motivations. It was the first time a male, that wasn’t my dad or uncles, was kind just to be kind.“Alpha, all of the male rogues that we noted earlier have engaged. They are overrunning the territory as we speak and there is no sign of Ellinore’s group yet. They should have reached the door by now, I don’t understand.” A gamma, I think Travis is his name, s
Damien’s POV I knelt there knowing what was coming for me. I am an alpha, they can tell just by being in my proximity and they have a vendetta against all organized pack leaders. Who knows what their story is, but they plan on taking out their anger and frustrations on me. Even knowing they were going to torture me, I don’t know if you can prepare for it fully. I took a deep slow breath in and thought of Leah’s beautiful face as a large fist made contact with the left side of my head, just in front of my ear. My head twisted to the side and I’m sure I heard something crack in my jaw. No matter how bad it hurt I would not show it on my face. I took another deep breath and thought of Leah with her little sketchbook, trying to solve a pack problem, whack. My nose was bleeding heavily n
Leah’s POVI called in several Crescent Moon gammas and omegas to help with tending to the wounded. Many have cuts and bruises that will heal within hours due to our fast healing. Others had deeper cuts, most likely from claws and fangs that needed to be treated before we let them heal to fight off any infection.All of a sudden the lights flicker, flash bright and then go out for about a minute before flicking back on. Several yells of surprise and screams erupted from the people all around me. This was one of the things the three of us kept to ourselves, even our team didn’t know what Elyse had been up to until now.“It’s alright everyone.” I’m shouting over the din of voices. “Enough! I let out my alpha com
Damien’s POV“What was that all about?” Demitri questions me as we walk through the tunnels“What was what?” I say not looking back at him trying to avoid this conversation altogether until I have talked to Leah“Seriously?! You’re going to pretend that you haven’t kissed her twice today and keep playing flirty like she's your mate and not Jessica?” Ah my brother, always the blunt one.“It’s complicated, alright. And Jessica isn’t my mate, not my Goddess given mate.” I tried to leave it at that, hoping he would drop it, but this is Demitri.“What?! How do y
[Present]Damien’s POVThere is a green haze covering the whole clearing and the humming is getting louder, but the haze is too thick to clearly see who or what is making the sound, just a dark form in the center. I took a step in to try and get a better view, I realized very quickly I made a mistake.The air thinned out and turned icy cold, my throat constricted and I couldn’t make a sound, but I was still able to take a breath. My vision started to tunnel and I dropped to my knees as a tall slender figure rose up from the center of the clearing and started to walk towards me. She has raven black hair that is completely straight and falls to her waist. Her pale grey, almost white eyes and pale skin give her a deathly look and her small
[Present Day]Leah’s POVElyse and I are pacing in the tunnel that leads to the girls dorms, grabbing a quick snack and coffee that one of the omegas thought to bring in for us. Thank Goddess these people have their heads on straight because I feel like I’m losing mine.“Where the hell did they go?” I all but screamed “The search party was supposed to round our wolves up and burn the rogues and look for Ellinore while they were out there. How much longer until our surveillance is back up and running?”“It should only be another ten to fifteen minutes now. We weren’t prepared for the power surge Bertha gave us.” Elyse says to me in a slow clam voice, like o
