Awww. Matteo and Rhea. They'll have plenty of time to get to know each other.
MADDOXI knew that finding his mate at sixteen was not something that Matteo had ever imagined happening before. I could also tell that he was a bundle of nerves and worries, so I took it upon myself to try and talk to him. Maybe I could help him work through shit.Beauty flashed me a proud grin when I told her what I wanted to do, so she went to spend the afternoon with her siblings.I linked Matteo to see if he was free. He was, so I invited him up to the suite. This conversation would probably do best in privacy, away from nosy ass people who had no business knowing shit.A knock came about five minutes later. I opened the door and welcomed him inside.He looked a little nervous regarding the reason why I asked to meet up. All of our interactions, except the day that I woke up in the pack, had been in public. Beauty had also been there. That was something that needed to be rectified because he was her best friend but also would be our Beta. A solid friendship with him was something
MADDOX“Does tonight include another dance?” I asked my mate as we pulled up to the valet at Luxe.“Yes, as long as I get the same appreciation as last time,” she told me, rubbing over the crotch of my jeans.“Figured that was a given. There’s no way in fuck that I can survive you giving me the best fucking dance ever and not reward you for it. That’d make me a douchebag, which I’m glad to announce that I’m reformed from.”She giggled and kissed my cheek. I went around to open her door.Ralf, the bouncer from last time, was at the door again. He looked happy to see us both.Beauty had set up my access to all things Luxe, which included employee files. I worked my ass off to learn who was who and what their roles were here. Not saying that I would remember without fucking up, but I would learn as I went. This place was incredibly important to her, so it was incredibly important to me.“I heard you won a two-on-one match against Justin and Dara,” she told him, to which he nodded. “Come
KALENEveryone left behind a legacy – their mark on the world. Sometimes it created a positive and lasting change for all. Other times all it left behind was chaos and carnage.Fairytale books had distinct heroes and distinct villains. It was an either/or situation. Good or bad. Black or white. Was it that simple to categorize everyone? What if they did not fit into any one box because nobody was purely good or purely evil?I thought it was simple once upon a time until fate threw me a curveball that I was unable to dodge.My future had always been clear to me growing up. I would become the first female Alpha of the Dark Moon pack. It was something that I threw my entire focus into as I got older. Dad was an amazing Alpha, and I would be proud to be even half of what he was. My pack meant everything to me, and it was an honor that I would be able to pick up the mantle when he was ready to pass it to me.Part of me had assumed that my biggest hurdles in life would come from proving that
KALENBreathe in. Breathe out. Repeat.My legs pumped, gaining momentum and speed with every push. A surge of adrenaline rushed through me. I forced my legs to push harder through the obstacle course. Sweat poured off of me, showing me just how difficult this course was. I fucking loved it.I leapt from the top of the rock wall to the wooden beam that was suspended in the air. The sweat pouring off of me was not all that helpful when trying to balance so that I did not plummet to the ground. I was not really one who enjoyed healing from broken limbs. That sucked, so I always tried my best to avoid it.A whizzing sound was heard from the right, and I dropped down just in time for another log to fly over my head. Grandpa Mike took great pride in designing his courses, always wanting to find new ways to keep participants on edge because that was when their survival instincts were tested.I jumped to my feet again and took off. There was a springboard at the end. I pushed off from it and
KALEN‘C’mon, Alpha Kalen. We don’t want to be late,’ Nika chirped.‘Sure we do. School is vastly overrated. There’s no need to even go. We could easily pass every exit exam. Mom graduated when she was fourteen. There’s no reason why we have to finish out the next two years.’My wolf rolled her big golden eyes at me and stuck me with a no-nonsense look. Sometimes, sharing my mindspace with someone else royally sucked because nothing remained secret. She knew my emotions as well as my reasons.Something about today would set things in motion. What that was, I had absolutely no idea. It could be anything from crossing the street to meeting someone specific to insulting an idiot. There was no telling what it would be. I was absolutely fucked if it was the last one because too many idiots loved to voice their opinions of me and my position within a pack that was not even their own.I was wearing a pair of black ripped skinny jeans that was paired with a white lace V-neck short sleeved top
KALEN‘No matter where you go, you are representing Dark Moon,’ Dad had said multiple times. ‘Act and react as an Alpha. Remain collected and calm, but don’t let people walk over you.’Dad always gave me great pearls of wisdom. They became mantras that helped me get through times when I wanted to just slap a bitch or realign someone’s nose.Did I have anger issues? No. Calm was my general state of being. I just had a low tolerance meter for bullshit. Case in point – right now.We were changing for Training Ops. It was a class that was geared towards those who were seeking to become warriors and Enforcers, but anyone could take it. This class was mandatory for leadership though because we had to be the best of the best for our packs. Ensuring that they remained safe and secure was of the utmost importance.There were petty bitches snickering and talking about Sera. She was the sweetest person you would ever meet. She never talked down to anyone or made them feel like shit.“It makes me
MADDOXIt was really fucking ridiculous that I was forced to attend an academy this year. I would love nothing more than to tell my father to shove it up his ass and leave me the fuck alone, but I valued oxygen expanding my lungs a little too much for that.Why did I have to suffer through all of this fucking bullshit just because my old man had a vendetta? I was nothing more than his errand boy – a good soldier who was not meant to question his orders.The morning had been shaping up to be a complete letdown. Sure, there was a hot chick who practically offered herself up to me. I enjoyed my fair share of females, but I did not go for the desperate types. I craved a challenge, something to keep me intrigued.The hot chick that was wrapped around me had nothing on the green-eyed beauty that I had caught eyeing me. She was fucking fine in those clothes, but I bet she looked even better out of them and spread wide open for me.I wondered what her name was, but I was not about to ask anyon
KALENJade had somehow convinced me to go to the party tonight. It was not that I disliked parties, but I knew that being around idiots while they were drinking just made them into even bigger idiots.She convinced me by saying that me ditching out on the party would make David feel like I worried about retribution. I knew that she just used it since she knew it would get me to agree, but she did have a slight point. Thus, I conceded.She and Ava took it upon themselves to make certain that I was all decked-out, teasing me I would look like a fucking knockout at all times if I put half as much effort as I did on shaving time off of my obstacle courses.I simply told them that I did not care about looking like a knockout. I dressed up for myself when I wanted to. It was not like I would be dating because I had made the decision a couple of years back that I was going to wait for my mate. I wanted him to be the one that I dressed up for and the one that got all of my firsts.Now, I did n
