Happy Wednesday. Another 3000 words! hope you enjoy another huge chapter today. I know I've been a bit MIA lately, but I am still writing lots in the background!! Please remember writing is a hobby outside of my family duties and a full-time job. It takes about an evening to write 1500 words and that's only when I know what is going to happen in the chapter, sometimes they don't want to talk to me so it's a little bit harder. A huge 3000-word chapter will take a few more days, maybe a bit longer with edits and checking things. Thanks for all of your support and understanding, I really appreciate it!
Heart racing, nerves pile up as I sit in my car in front of the packhouse. I know Ollie and mum already know about Zander, but I was honestly more nervous telling Dad and Uncle. I wouldn’t know how they would react. Would they be happy for us? Or still so angry over the issues between our packs? I know we have had a rocky start, but I also know that I wasn’t going to reject him. I still cared so much for him, and he has tried to show how much he cares over the last few days. And I agree that we could do more if we could be more open with our relationship with our family and pack members. Some might hate it, and others might be excited about it, but Zander and I were always meant to be together in the end. I still haven’t forgiven him for what happened, but he has explained, owned his mistake and is trying to make things better between us, so I’ll keep an open mind and allow him to try and make things right. I suck in a breath of air as I open the door and head into the pack
Excruciating pain shoots through me as my link with Ashleigh is broken as my Beta and my family. I will never be able to contact her again that way. I can see everyone is shocked at what Dad has done, fuck. So am I. Hell, I’m fucking furious he did this without my permission. He was the one who insisted that we do the binding early so we can create better bonds, and, in reality, Ashleigh is my best friend, and there is no one else who I trust more. I can’t for the life of me understand why Dad has taken such drastic measures. Zander and I always have butt-heads, and we always will. We are Alpha Males, but to protect our packs and our kind, we have the same morals in that respect. There haven’t been any issues or problems with our packs for years, sometimes small things here and there, but nothing to this level. I hear the parents yelling and arguing in the main office as Ash heads out the front door. I’m sure Brent felt the link snap as well and will have questions when he gets
My senses are in overdrive as I feel the warm sun streaming through our bedroom window. His scent engulfed all of me as tingles danced along my skin. I hear his deep breathing next to me as one of his arms slung over, pulling me close to his hard chest. Last night was hard. I had the worst night's sleep, tossing and turning until I couldn’t take it anymore. I wanted Zander to hold me close to tell me everything was going to be ok, that this weird emptiness won’t last forever. I wondered if this is what it felt like to become a rouge or if it’s worse. At least I don’t have the scent of a rogue. I just didn’t have the links and connections to the pack anymore. It’s like I’m in limbo. I am just waiting. Usually, when one is stripped of your title, you get a new one or move to Omega status. Uncle didn’t even do that for me, so now I’m stuck in limbo unless I renounce my allegiance to my pack and turn rogue until I move into Zander's Pack. In the Liverpool pack, there are a few titles
My body instantly yearned for her as I left our room. Guilt consumed me as I remembered what a total fuckwit I was before. I’ll remind her daily how much I love her and show her what she means to me. I won't ever put that doubt in her mind again. Never have I felt so fucking scared when I thought I was losing her. Now I just need to erase those memories and shower her with love and affection and pray that she will forgive me. Jace is pleasantly satisfied with this morning's romp festivities and was eager to jump in the shower with her, but I thought maybe she would like some alone time before we head out to my pack territory. Soon my pack will start the morning rounds with training and patrol runs. I was going to drive her around and show her what we did. From what Ashleigh told me, both she and Oliver participated in training and patrol. Even if she is Luna, I'm sure she would be eager to see our facilities, although I wonder how she would react when she notices not many women
I psyched myself way too much by the time we arrived in front of the packhouse. Zander tried to help calm me down, but my nerves got the best of me in the end. I kept replaying everything that happened last night, and one thing stuck out, the supposed reason why Uncle banished me from the pack. Charwood hadn’t had a Luna for over a decade. So, of course, naturally, I was worried about so many different things. With such a high expectation, my brain went in overloaded. What if the pack doesn't like me? What if his father didn’t like me? What if more of his exes show up and try to challenge me? Would they accept me because I was from Liverpool and not a part of their pack? So many possibilities were swirling around my head. I panicked and froze until Zander opened the car door and brought me into a tight hug, kissing me gently, trying to reassure me. Every time he does something like this, he surprises me, making my heart ache for him and making me fall in love with him all
‘You’re welcome’, Danni links me, smirking as I pull Ashleigh in a tight grip trying to regain control. Thankfully, our bond and her scent are the only things helping me not to lose my shit right now. ‘For what? Pissing off my wolf in front of everyone?’ I snap back. And, of course, he rolls his eyes but still has his hands up in surrender as Jace glares at him. The fucking little twat knows too much. I swear I wouldn't put up with him if he weren’t my Beta or best friend. Don’t get me wrong, he knows how to push my boundaries, and no one else can pull the same shit he does. Even Eric won't, and we have known each other since we were in diapers. But without Danni, I’d be a lost cause. I honestly don't think there is anyone who could replace him. “Jace, it’s ok, he was just saying hello,” Ashleigh whispers, bringing her hand to my chin, softly stroking me and leaning in closer, trying to get Jace to give me back control. If only she knew how much of an ass Danni can be. That's o
Shit, Shit, Shit. I am in so much trouble. I look between Zander and his father as he's standing on the sidelines. One would think they are linking, but their eyes are not glazed and they are just staring at each other. Even Beta Jake looks a little uncomfortable, shifting around at their gaze. Their wolves flicker through, showing a rim of gold in their eyes, dominance radiating from both men. A few of the warriors were curiously watching. Most try to ignore what was happening, but it was hard to ignore two Alphas fighting for dominance. Neither man has moved from their position. I can see Daniel's eyes cast down in submission, hands in his pockets, and looking at the grass as if it’s the most exciting thing in the world. Beta Jake is looking between them as I am, slightly confused, but I’m sure he’s more aware of what is going on than me. I frown in confusion. What did I miss? I know Zander didn’t have the best relationship with his father, but this type of play for dominance an
I try to figure out the best way to start. We sit in the car silently … Ashleigh not even trying to start a conversation since we left training. I don’t really blame her. I haven't exactly been fun to speak with right now either, but just her presence alone is calming me down. Part of me hoped she would say something to try and ease the tension, but I know she won't say anything until I do. I drive a little further out of the city until we arrive at the place I had in mind. I used to go here all the time with mum and dad. It felt right to bring her here. Maybe one day we can have that same tradition, coming out here every other weekend. The lake is exactly as I remember it. It is about the size of a football field, with shrubs and trees protecting it. I drive through the small clearing that is big enough for a car to fit through. Not many people know about this place, I have never sensed anyone before, so it's nice this little paradise has been kept peaceful and pure all these yea
