When we returned to the pack house, the weeks felt like they flew by. We trained every morning, I worked with Tasha immediately after to try to figure out my powers, sometimes into the evening. Then I’d usually go to the gym and do solo training on my own to increase my strength, or I’d let Amara out for a run, which I was only allowed to do with Zaine or Caleb, but never alone. Training with Tasha was the most frustrating and exhausting of it all. I did learn that when I felt something strongly enough, I could project it onto others, calmness, anger, sadness, and it would dilute their own feelings, they would feel mine. We still couldn’t figure out the compulsion Amara had done but we kept trying at it. We also continued to work on my ability to separate her from my body. That part wasn’t hard but bringing us back together took a lot out of me. She would run at me, and it would look like she was going to hit me but instead my body would absorb her. The first time I’d don
Caleb had just walked me back to my room, it was a little after 1 am. I showered to get the bonfire smell off me and put on an oversized shirt for bed after towel drying my hair. As I tried to snuggle up into my comfy bed, I realized I didn’t feel very tired, I felt awake. I had ever since that drink Dimitri had given me. The more I laid there, in the dark, I could feel my earlier irritation coming back. The irritation that the Alpha seemed to be avoiding me and wasn’t even sleeping in his own room just to avoid me. I got up and started to pace around. Why didn’t I just confront him about it? I could have just demanded to know earlier, gotten Amara to compel it out of him. I huffed, realizing that now I was probably too drunk to be able to do that. Fine, I would just find him and confront him, I decided. I marched over to the door and as I quickly swung it open, I saw Alpha Azai walking into his room. He turned around when he heard me and raised an eyebrow at
I woke up from my phone going off for what felt like the hundredth time. Arabella was calling, I silenced it and looked at the time. It was already 2 pm, although I wasn’t too surprised since the sun had already been coming up when I finally went to sleep. I got up slowly, a soreness between my legs from the events of last night. I got up and went to the shower, turning it on hot as could be. As steam filled the shower and I stood in the hot water I felt my body start to relax and sooth itself. Replaying the events of the night before, the night I lost my virginity to the Alpha, him saying how much if a mistake it was. Don’t forget drinking his blood, Amara yawned. Oh shit. That had been the last thing on my mind. Why did I do that? I remember how good he smelled; I remember focusing on the throbbing vein in his neck as we finished together. Did he know what I’d done or did he think he was mistaken when he felt his neck but there was no wound. How did I heal it
Alessia’s POVIt was a little past 7 pm, we rode in one of the pack navigators. Caleb was driving, Ara and Callie were in the car with us. “We’re running late,” I said quietly. “It’s totally fine,” Ara said confidently, “it’s your birthday dinner, you can be however late you want to be.” She turned from the front seat and smiled big at me. Caleb parked in front of the restaurant as we got out. He offered me his arm to escort me in. Callie and Ara following behind us as we walked inside, “Ms. Astor, right this way!” We followed the host to a private room in the back where Ryan, Liam, Austin and Shayla were waiting for us. Shayla was clearly showing, werewolves had half the pregnancy length of humans thanks to our supernatural abilities. I was happy for my brother, but it reminded me yet again how he hadn’t even bothered to tell me. He had an open seat beside him and he got up to pull it out for me. I smiled going to sit by him, he pushed
It was the evening I hoped would change my life forever. It was my birthday and the night of the gathering. I had been woken up by my brother’s arrival to the house around 10 am with none other than Ms. June, my favorite omega from Cerulean pack and the best cook. She made us pancakes, eggs and my personal favorite, well done, crunchy bacon. Of course, mimosas to go along with girls spa day.Austin drove us down to the nail salon to get our nails done. I was surprised Caleb or one of the other guards didn’t do it but Austin insisted on spending some time with us since it was my birthday. He said Shayla was getting pampered at the packhouse anyway.The guards Zaine had assigned to us always stayed with us, only one stayed back at the house to guard it while no one was there. After our nails were done, we went back to the house where the hear stylists were waiting for us.My black hair was styled in a half up pony tail that was loose and teased some, with a small section lef
I couldn’t wait till morning to leave, no I needed to get out of here now. I had gotten Caleb and my brother to take me back to the packhouse. Caleb went and got some empty boxes from the storage area and brought them to my room so he could help me pack. Tears steadily ran down my face. I had told Dimitri to stay outside, I wouldn’t bring him in the packhouse where Azai was. Well, I thought he was here somewhere, but I wasn’t sure. I started throwing clothes into boxes, not bothering to fold them. Caleb grabbed my shoes. His phone rang and he answered it, I could hear a man’s voice on the line but couldn’t pick up what he was saying over my own sobs. He ended the call quickly and looked at me, “I’m going to put these shoes down in the car. Zaine is sending me to Cerulean with you, your brother is allowing it. He’s already left with Shayla to head back to his pack.” He picked up the box and left with it and all I could do was collapse onto the ground,
My name is Alessia, but my family and friends have always called me Allie. I’ve recently become part of the Dark Moon pack, but I was originally from the Cerulean pack 6 hours away. I live with my Great Aunt Tasha, a strange woman with an uncanny ability of knowing things. My brother Austin is the alpha of the Cerulean pack with his Luna Shayla, she’s the reason I’m not there anymore. My brother and I are 18 months apart in age, the day he turned 18, he realized his Beta Ryan’s girlfriend was his mate. It stirred up some drama for a short time, Ryan eventually moved on after sleeping around quite a bit. Somehow him and my brother remained friends, but it wasn’t the same anymore, mostly because of Shayla. She was a jealous girl and didn’t like how close Austin and I were. Our parents died unexpectedly in a car crash when I was 12, they’d been on their way to visit the Silver Dawn pack that sat between Dark moon and Cerulean. A few months after my 17th birthday things were ar
We’d been gone for hours, I had let Amara run free for a while if she agreed to do her best to avoid others, I didn’t want anyone to see us. She had followed the river for a while until it came to a small lake, looking around we could see the upper floors of the pack house. We shook off the chill of the night air and padded back toward home. I didn’t have clothes after the shift, so I got close to the back of the house before shifting back and going inside. It smelled like chicken and mashed potatoes, making my stomach grumble. I grabbed a plate of food to take up to my room with me. I scarfed it down quickly, listening for any sound from Aunt Tasha but it seemed she was sound asleep.After finishing my food, I turned on the shower letting it heat up and brushed out my long black hair. I looked at myself in the mirror, I was short, only 5’2”, my hair was down to my lower back, bright blue eyes, and tanned skin. I used to be self-conscience about my body when I was younger but after I
