AlitaMy brothers are receiving their wolves tonight. Or… well… I know Osborn will. But I wonder if Peelle will. My mom still had a wolf even though she had elf tendencies so hopefully he’ll end up like her.Osborn paces as the full moon continues to rise. Every one of us are sitting outside waiting for the shift to happen.Mom, dad, Uncle Ken, Aunt Abigail, Uncle Leon, Aunt Raf, and my cousins Laila and Lauren. Aunt Alena and my uncles Breda and Solomon wanted to be here, but for some reason they couldn’t make it.Uncle Ken and Aunt Abby’s baby is already fast asleep upstairs. I glance over at Abby as she rubs her baby bump and breathes out. She only has about two months left before the baby is born.Laila is only a couple of months younger than Peelle and Osborn and I can see her nervousness. Her thoughts are loud, she’s fearful of how the boys will respond to the pain of the shift. This is the first time she’s watched someone shift for the first time and it scares her knowing that
OsbornThe party is loud, and I can’t help the tension I feel in my shoulders from how loud the sound is. I wanted something classy, and this sounds like it will be a rager.I shouldn’t be surprised, Peelle was a part of planning and he’s the easy going party boy. The only thing I hope is that the party is big with plenty of girls. I need to find my mate. My dad wants me to have her before he will give me the Alpha title.There’s a soft knock on my door and I mumble, “Come in.”Mom walks in with a smile on her face and says, “My, you look handsome, Ozzy.”I smile at her, “Thanks mom.”She walks over to me and puts her hands on my shoulders as she looks me up and down and asks, “Are you ready for this, bud? She could be out there tonight.”I smirk, “That’s what I’m hoping for. I’m ready, mom.”She nods and says, “Okay, well come by the balcony when you’re ready to be presented to your pack. Your father will wait until both you and Peelle get there.”I follow behind her as I say, “I’m a
Three Years Later.OsbornI still haven’t met my mate. How can the moon goddess be so cruel?It’s been three years! I should’ve met her, marked her, and maybe have a kid on the way by now.Instead, I’m alone.My sister’s 16th birthday party is tonight, and my parents are throwing her a party, I hope that maybe somehow my mate will be there, but I’m starting to wonder if I even have a mate. It’s possible I don’t, but regardless, I think I’ve been patient long enough. It’s time for my dad to hand over the Alpha title.I walk to my dad’s office and take a deep breath as I straighten my tie before knocking on the door. My dad calls out, “Come in!”I open the door and my dad smiles at me, but his smile quickly fades, he realizes I’m here for business. I tell him, “Alpha, I believe I’ve waited long enough. I know I don’t have my mate yet, but there’s a chance I don’t have one or that she died or chose someone else! I can’t keep waiting. Please… it’s time.”My dad looks at me as he presses h
OsbornI walk around Alita’s party as I search for my mate. It very quickly becomes obvious that she isn’t here.Girl’s flood toward me like always. Each one batting their eyes and asking if I’d want to dance and sometimes letting out this annoying, fake, high-pitched giggle.My mate isn’t here and goddess, I hope when I finally meet her that she doesn’t act like that!It’s been three fucking years that I’ve been searching for her. It feels like finding her is impossible.Anger floods through me, where the hell is she?I walk upstairs and go to the office. I pull out a map of our pack and start looking up information on how my dad currently has the patrols running. My dad has been too lenient when it comes to rogues.I won’t be.Starting tomorrow, the pack will be undergoing some changes.I grab out another map to see which packs I’ve visited recently and which ones we have good relationships with. I need to travel and find my mate, but any pack we don’t have good relationships with,
OsbornMy dad gave me the Alpha title this morning. Although I can tell that he was hesitant to do it, I’m grateful that he did it.I’ve spent most of my day looking over the packs I intend to conquer and then I’m going to take a patrol shift tonight. I’ve already announced that we will have zero tolerance with rogues and I want to make sure that the patrol is following my orders so I plan to randomly go on runs to see if they can follow my instructions.The only weird thing about today is I’ve noticed that my family hasn’t come around me since my dad officially handed over the title this morning. I try not to let it bother me, I’ve put them at arm’s length, I shouldn’t be surprised when they don’t want to be around me anymore.I breathe out as I leave the office and lock it behind me, I want to make sure that no one can snoop through my things.I rush outside and shift into my wolf, Belos, he breathes in the fresh air and shakes out his fur, happy to be released.He runs around the p
PeelleI open the cells and smell a mix of rose and jasmine. My eyebrows furrow softly as I follow the scent and I see a naked girl sitting on the floor in her cell.Her fiery red hair has gray streaks in it and her eyes snap up to me and she scrambles backwards backing herself into a corner.She’s beautiful, and… she’s my mate.How is this possible? Osborn and I have the same mate?!He’s going to be angry; I just know it.I crouch down and hold my hands up and say, “Hey, I’m not here to hurt you. I just want to talk. I’m going to find you something to wear, and I’ll be right back and if it’s okay with you… I’ll come inside, okay?”She glances up at me and I notice her amber colored eyes before she looks back at the floor. I breathe out as I walk out of the cells. She looked skinny; a bit too skinny like she hasn’t had a proper meal. I don’t know what her height is because I never saw her standing, but maybe she’ll fit something of Alita’s?I rush back home where Alita is still playin
OsbornI pace back and forth in my room. My stomach churns and I feel like I could be sick after my encounter with that… rogue.How could the moon goddess pair me with a fucking rogue?! I’ve never been more furious in my life. This has to be some kind of cosmic joke.Anger floods through my veins and I have to let it out somehow and I end up punching a hole in my wall. I stare at the hole; I’ve never been angry enough to hit something like that. Normally, if I want to hit something I’ll go to the gym and use a punching bag, or I would go to a training.I huff as I run my hands through my hair, tugging at the ends. I never do this, it makes my hair disheveled, and now I have to remember to fix it before I go back out.There’s a knock on my door and I huff, “Not now!”The door opens and I grit my teeth as I force myself not to punch whoever just came in. My brother’s voice causes me to freeze as he says, “We need to talk, Osborn.”I turn to face Peelle and his arms are crossed and he lo
EdaI watch as Peelle starts cutting up fresh fruits for me. They look exotic and I wouldn’t be able to tell you what they are.He passes me a bowl and says, “Here, you can snack on that while I cook. Now, I’m not the best cook ever but I can make some damn good French toast. What do you think of that?”I nod slowly as I say, “Sure.”I wonder what makes toast French, but I’m sure it’ll taste just like the normal dark brown or black toast I’m used to receiving. I hear a woman’s voice as she says, “Peelle’s famous French toast? Count me in!”A younger girl yells, “Ooh, me too!”I turn to look at them and I see an older woman with her daughter walk into the room. They both stopped and stared at me, and the older woman said, “Um… hi? Peelle, are you going to introduce me to your friend here?”Peelle comes to my side and says, “Eda, this is my mom, Claudia and my sister, Alita. Mom, Alita, this is my mate, Eda.”My eyes widen from the fact he was already introducing me to his family. Soon,
