I looked out through the eyes of my wolf, Zion, as his paws pounded along the undergrowth of the forest. Another report of a rogue gave me another opportunity to take my energy and anger out. Zion, once more deeply focused on hunting down the fucker who thought it was acceptable to overstep onto our lands… I was more than ready to allow him to take them down and punish them, like the ones before. Punish each and every rogue we could get our paws upon.Rogues are the reason I lost my Isla. And each and every rogue after her that crossed our border would be made to pay. This may be seen as irrational, but to me, it made perfect sense. Absolute sense. And that was always going to be my plan.‘No scent of rogues here.’ Zion tells me, sounding more than a little disappointed, and I have to say I am too.‘Try further along, maybe they went deeper into the pack.’ I suggested, getting off the report we had been sent. We needed this chance to burn off energy. Something to allow ourselves to ta
Tonight has been hectic. Packing bags, yet trying hard to act like nothing was amiss. Keeping my block up against any mindlinks from Miles had been a priority because I knew he had wanted to say something the moment he had seen me with my Dad. He had been on edge, and my Dad had likely made that worse with the way he had dealt with him. But, I can’t blame my Dad for how he had treated him, he truly needed taking down a peg or two. This was one big mess, and I knew it was only going to come even more out of control when Miles realized that my Dad, Ellis and my brother all planned to go and discuss this with my Uncle, our Alpha.Alpha Marshall could not simply dismiss this like he had dismissed so many of Miles’s other errors. There were too many things he had done this time. They would have to seriously consider his place within the pack, because if this got out, then many of our pack members could seriously question if he was the one they wanted to take over from my father. And, even
The drive so far had been long, my Dad had been quiet now the time for me to leave had arrived. I didn’t know if he was beginning to second-guess his decision, but irrelevant of that, I was not changing my mind, nor was I going back on the plan we had made. Morgan was still unaware of the plan we had made. After overhearing the snippet of her conversation with Miles, I had decided saying goodbye was not the best thing to do. She could mention my departure to the one person we did not want to know about my exit from our pack, and the whole plan would be destroyed.My mind was still reeling from the fact that my younger sister was involved with someone like Miles, in whatever way it may be. I did not stick around to listen any further to hear just how serious it had been between them. But, hearing what I had, told me all I needed to know. Morgan had always had a soft spot for our upcoming Alpha, as had so many of the young she-wolves within the pack. Seeing him as somewhat of a heartthro
Leaving my office for the night, planning on going to the gym, despite it being almost midnight, I heard footsteps up ahead of me, and I couldn't help but wonder who would be in the packhouse at that time of night. The packhouse is always abandoned about an hour after dinner has finished, with everyone returning to their homes for the night. And the place becomes my lonely hideout. A place where I am free to roam in the darkness and silence. Not caring for anyone else.Though, tonight, I worked a little later than usual as there was a backlog of paperwork with Caleb having to stay with Eden and take care of her. She was truly struggling with this pregnancy. I was thinking this baby would not be long until it decided to make its appearance and arrive in our crazy little world. At least then, I suppose, it would stop making its mother suffer… well, then it would just be causing both its mother and father to suffer sleepless nights… ah, the joys of children!I listened carefully for the
After what had felt like the longest drive in history, though perhaps that was something to do with the fact my Dad had done nothing but rant the whole time since the moment I had mentioned the whole Miles and Morgan situation, we had arrived safely at the gates of Autumn Valley Pack heading toward 2am. I felt terrible arriving at that time, wishing we had found a hotel nearby to stay, rather than turning up at the pack now, but my Dad was adamant somebody would be up. Not to mention Luna Eden had said anytime would be fine…The guard at the gate had greeted us cheerfully considering the ungodly hour, and he had said he had been expecting me, so at least Luna Eden hadn’t forgotten about my arrival. He allowed me through the gate with no issues, giving me directions to the packhouse, telling me that someone would meet me there. So, I assumed Luna Eden would find me there. She did say she would be giving me a room in the packhouse for the first few weeks possibly, until a home was arran
I keep finding my eyes falling on the girl that has suddenly appeared within our pack. Damn was she irritating. Keeping me waiting until a ridiculous time at night to allow her into the pack, to allow her in, and then bringing her Daddy with her to argue for her. But, there is something different about her…Gone was the shy girl I recall from the party that my Uncle had introduced me to. Not that I was paying a huge amount of attention to her back then either. I was in more of a rush to get away, much as I am now to be fair… but, she seems different now, I am sure of it. This young thing seems to be giving as good as she gets.And, even more strange, is that Zion seems to like the cheekiness that occasionally comes out within her occasional sarcasm, it makes him chuckle. He doesn’t do that very often anymore. Though, in truth, she should be showing me respect considering the fact I am to be her new Beta. One of her new bosses. But, I would allow her a little leeway considering the la
The happy Beta left me in what was to be my new room to get settled and wandered off with my Dad at his heels giving him a hard time it sounded like. I am sure by the time he had allocated him a room he would be ready to throw my Dad from the stairway, because he truly seemed to be enjoying riling the Beta up. Though, his miserable face did seem to have forgotten what a smile actually was, so my Dad likely saw that as a challenge.I threw my bags down in the corner of the room with the intention of sorting through them tomorrow, as my eyes were already beginning to droop. The late drive had been far from ideal, but I was finally here now. My fresh start could begin. I just dreaded what the outcome would be when Miles discovered I was gone, but I planned to speak to Luna Eden tomorrow and explain my predicament, asking that they give me some form of protection at least. If not, at least I would have given them a heads-up of any potential trouble from Miles if he decided to come here t
My stay with my mate had been shorter than I had intended, and my mind had not been as on her as much I would have liked. As terrible as it may sound, my mind has been on my sister for a great portion of the time. The conversation we had had before I left had been replaying within my mind. The things I had learned tortured me. How can we not have known the pain she was in? All of us had failed Bailey as a family, yet she never once complained…Not only that, I had put my friend first far too many times. Like so many others in the pack did, as the upcoming Alpha, it was an easy mistake to make. He knew the control he had. I should have known better, but I had looked up to my best friend. Saw him as quite the lad. The womanizer. Never realizing that in the things he was doing he was hurting my sister. They seemed such an unlikely pairing.Tales of matebonds always seem to suggest that matebonds of fated mates are with couples that are well-matched. Perfect couples. But, with Miles and B
