“Dang that's a lot of stuffies.” Torrance commented from the doorway as she walked in with Viola right behind her, a bag over her shoulder. I laughed and shrugged as I mentioned to them on the end of my bed.
“By all means take what you like. Silas and I won them today. Mostly Silas though. He wanted to try and get me one of everything.”
“Oh, that’s adorable. Ooh! There’s a cute little frog. It’s so soft too. I’m taking this little guy.” Tor cooed as she spotted the frog. I chuckled and sat up on the bed, looking at Viola who set her bag down by Tor’s bed. Well looks like it’s time for me to be a good friend and make myself scarce for the night.
“I have that dinner thing tonight, for all the Alpha’s and their Luna’s. I’ll most likely stay with Silas tonight.” I said with a smile at them both, internally dreading t
Another chapter up. What are everyone's thoughts? Any opinions or constructive criticisms are welcome.
Dinner tasted absolutely amazing and I found myself craving seconds, but then dessert came and as I did a little happy wiggle in my seat Silas chuckled at me, his honey-brown eyes bright with amusement. I just shrugged and dug into the delicious cheesecake, savouring the first bite with closed eyes and a content sigh. “I take it dessert is your favourite meal?” Silas asked with a chuckle as he moved some of my curls back behind my shoulder. “Yeah, I have a pretty big sweet tooth for certain things.” I admitted with a shrug. Before he could respond his eyes glazed over like he was being mind linked. After a few seconds, he sighed and shook his head as his gaze focused on me. “There’s something I have to go deal with, my father and me. Something happened back at the packs. I will fill you in on everything when I ge
By the time we walked into the cabin, I felt like I was going to hyperventilate. The walk back had been silent and even now as we got into the cabin I was grasping at any idea I could to convince him I was sleeping on the couch and nothing was going to happen. I kicked off my heels and sat on the couch, rubbing my sore toes. I pulled my hair up into a messy bun and rooted through my bag for pyjamas. I took them and went into the bathroom quickly, changing out of my dress and doing my nightly routine, switching out my nice bra for a sports bra and moving the ring as well. I didn’t want to leave it in my bag just in case. I came out and went back to the couch, stuffing my things into my bag and putting it on the floor. I went to the wardrobe that was in the living room and found extra blankets and pillows. I took them out and made a bed for me on the couch, happy that at least it was a big couch and actuall
I groaned and pulled the blanket over my head as the ungodly loud chitter of a squirrel woke me up. I growled and tossed my blanket off, stomping across the floor to shut the patio door and silence the squirrel. I squinted into the slightly dark morning air and realized it was really really early. I huffed and went back to the couch, flopping onto it and pulling the blanket over me to try and get more sleep. Apparently, Silas had other ideas as I heard his alarm go off and he started to shuffle around the room. After a few moments, he came out in loose gym shorts and made his way to the patio door, pausing to look at me and when he saw I was awake he came towards me and sat on the coffee table so he could talk to me. “Not a morning person I take it, my mate?” he asked with a small chuckle, grinning as I just shook my head in reply. “Well I’m going for a morni
“So everyone is in agreement then? Riverside will merge with Riverstone, myself and Kara as Alpha and Luna. Varin will be my Beta still and Alaric you will become head of my warriors, Laris will be Gama of the pack still as I don’t have one. YOu’re people don’t have to relocate or leave their jobs, but warriors would be relocated to your territory to help with the protection of the pack.” Silas said as he looked over the final agreement. Alaric and Laris nodded slowly while they listened. I had assured them both through mind link that things would be revisited and renegotiated when the time came but for now, it would be best to go through with things as Silas saw fit as long as it was fair to his other pack members. I wouldn’t want to take positions from either of them and when I took over I would need a Beta and a Gamma I could trust. I wondered how many warriors had been left alive from my original pack
The moment I got to my room I was relieved to see Torrance wasn’t there, I closed the door behind me, went into the bathroom and turned on the shower, closing and locking the door as I pulled out my phone. I needed to call Victor and warn him about what I had learned. This was not good at all. I paced the small bathroom as the phone rang, letting out a sigh of relief as I heard him pick up. “Little wolf, what is the matter?” His voice was low and concerned but hearing him made me relieved. “Victor, I called to warn you. I just found out Silas had another alpha and his scouts track my scouts when my dad died. Silas wondered why the scouts never went back home to try and save the pack. He had another Alpha named Anders use his Beta Greg and his scouts track you. They know my scouts went to Europe but not where or to who.” I took a breath and ran a hand over my
“Little wolf, time to wake up darling. We have to get you ready for the ball.” his deep voice called me from sleep, a warm hand rubbing my back softly. I groaned and snuggled closer into the bed and tried to pull the blanket over me and whined when it was tugged away from me. “No no, time to get up. If you don’t I can’t help you get ready for the Ball.” he chuckled as he tugged the blankets down to my waist. I huffed and sat up, stretching and blinking at Magnus as he grinned at me from his spot on the bed. He reached to the bedside table and held out a glass of water to me. I took it with a smile and downed it, feeling more alert as I shuffled out of the bed and stood up, noticing that both of my bags were on the ottoman at the end of the bed. “And how are you going to help me get ready for the ball exactly?” I asked curiously just as there was a knock on th
“Kara? Are you ok?” Torrance asked softly as she stepped beside me and gripped my hand. I looked at her and nodded. “Come on Kara don’t lie to me, what’s going on with you and Silas? I thought you’d be happy to find your mate.” “It’s complicated Tor. Under normal circumstances I would but...that’s the pack I came from, I saw what Silas did the night he and his dad came in and killed everyone, I saw it all. How can I be ok with him as my mate when he’s responsible for killing people I loved?” I sighed and gave a small shrug. “Oh god, Kara. I’m so sorry. I completely understand now why you haven’t fully accepted the bond. I can’t even imagine what you are going through.” Torrance gasped and pulled me into a hug. I held her tight and took comfort in the offered hug, pulling away with a small smile. “Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Not how I imagined becoming Alpha, but to make up for what you had to go through Kara, I’ll take it.” Jax said with a chuckle. I smiled at him and gave a little nod. “You will be an amazing Alpha because you are not him. Simple as that.” “Agreed. Jax, you are kind and fair and stern when needed. You got this. I’m more surprised you made me Gamma. I was not expecting that.” Torrance admitted with a shaky surprised breath. “Of course I would Tor. Not just because your dad was Gamma. But because you have an amazing eye for detail, you see things that others don’t and despite your fire, you’ll be the calm voice of reason when Silas and I are being stubborn hotheads.” He grinned, causing everyone to chuckle. “The pack will go through some changes now won’t it?” Clem aske
