He trusted him. He didn't know why, but he did. Just because the man was his mate didn't mean that he should trust him with his warriors. There were a rare few that he would allow to take over in case something happened. Geo was one of them. He had trained hard with both him and Hiroko so that he could be just as ready for battle as they were. While Jin was great at silent attacks, Geo was the best at strategizing and finding the high ground. Miki was their defense, and usually took lead with the warriors that defended.He hoped none of them got hurt. He knew what he would tell them all if he had stayed in the battle. But he wasn't there. He was in this infirmary recovering from bullets that he had failed to dodge. All he could do was hope that Geo did well in taking command.It wouldn't be the first time. They had plenty of enemies that had tried to come onto their land. Sometimes Shiro would be stuck on the other side of the territory, and would leave the leading to Geo. When he had
He hated everything. He hated life. He hated his room. He hated this car, even though it was brand new. He hated how the damn night was mocking him with how clear it was. It was the best time for a party, yet he couldn't enjoy it. Instead, he had to fake being happy at the party that his family had for him just so he could get through the day."Miki," Geo called for his friend. "Please tell me you're up for some practice. I need to beat someone up.""Like hell you'd be able to beat me up," she teased. "But this late at night? Aren't you going to be trying to stay in your room and hide out as soon as it hits midnight?"He was planning on doing that. And it was already 11pm. But there was no way he could be at the packhouse right then. Not with him still there."It's just going to be the community center, and then back home," he told her. "Please, Miki? For my birthday?""Alright," she said. "But you better tell me what the hell pissed you off this close to your birthday. I need to know
"Be careful, Hound Dog. This puppy could have you on a leash faster than you could say 'Whoof'."He wanted to say 'woof' at that moment. His buzz was kicking in as he teased the beta. Now that he thought about it, and had sobered up some, the guy really did look like he had been pissed off beyond belief. But his drunk brain was too occupied with how fun it was to tease him rather than anything else that his senses could pick up. He was always fun to tease.And now, he was a tease.Alex walked into the empty bar. It was dawn now and they were closed for the night. He had been walking around to try and calm himself down the rest of the night, so he didn't try and chase after him.That scent was absolutely maddening when he smelt it. He was wondering why Geo had been running from him. At first, he thought that he actually did take it too far. But once he caught onto his scent, he knew it was more than that. Geo was smart, that was for sure. He caught onto it before even Alex. Sure, he en
He didn't want to have to do this. He wanted to finally relax and get some sleep now that all the chaos that was the past two weeks were over with. He had been so worried about Shiro and his wounds from those hunters that he hadn't been getting that much sleep. Surprisingly the man actually started answering his phone to him, though. They had a bunch of late-night conversations the past few days. It was calming just to hear his tired voice over the phone, even when he knew that they should both be sleeping.It seemed like night time was best to call him. He kept himself busy throughout the day. Jett didn't like that he had still decided to work after getting those wounds. Dr. Bailey said that he needed to stay in bed for at least two days. Jett was half tempted to go over to that pack house of his and force him to stay down. But he knew he couldn't.Which brought him back to the present. Where he was somehow supposed to convince two other Alphas to do an investigation on the pack that
"Stay focused," Shiro told Geo. They had all decided to do some training today so that they could stay in shape."Are you sure you're okay to train, Shiro?" Geo asked. His face showed a hint of worry. "You did just get shot by a silver bullet last week.""I was going to say that myself," Hiroko spoke up in their mind link."It is healed," Shiro assured them. "Every warrior needs to train regularly if they want to maintain their strength. Even an Alpha."They spoke through their mind link, but they were not in their wolf forms, or in any potential danger. This was how they talked when they were training. That was how they maintained stealth. Through being able to talk through the mind, they are able to know where their enemies are and kill them silently. They might have been the smallest wolves out of the ones in BlackCreek, but they knew how to use their weaknesses to their advantage.They were also using the mind link because of a location change. Shiro had decided to bring them to t
What on earth was he doing here? Sakdah never went to the community center unless he was needed for a meeting. Other than that, no one ever saw much of the Alpha of the Reverence Pack. He was a recluse, along with most of his pack. It took until Shiro came out from hiding that they started to meet more of the members.But here he was, staring at his son with hard eyes. Jett couldn't tell if it was disgust or not that he was reading off from the man, but he hated that look that he gave him. It made his blood boil to see anyone give his mate that look.He really thought that he had hurt Shiro. He had just gotten healed up from the wounds that those hunters gave him. He was worried that he took it too far when training with him. It really had been a lot of fun. He could tell that Shiro was enjoying testing his abilities. He was sharp when it came to blocking, and his delivers on his attacks were always on point. He really was skilled. Which was why he was so surprised when he didn't bloc
Shiro: I can't leave my territory right now. But I can talk over the phone.Jett: Not good enough, Prince. This has to be in person.Shiro: Where do you want to meet?Jett: How about that shed of yours right by my territory lines? Is that safe enough?He impatiently waited for a reply. Dr. Bailey had told him to get some sleep to get his wounds to heal faster, but he just couldn't. He was restless as his soul threatened to pull him all the way to that man. He needed some answers. But, more importantly, he needed to see him. Because the last time he saw him was when he had those cold eyes. The ones that he had when he was looking at him as if he was an enemy, rather than a mate. That wasn't the real Shiro. And Jett needed to finally see him with that mask of his off.Shiro: That's safe. No one typically goes near that one unless it's for purposes such as when we went to your territory to help with the hunters. I have some chores to do, but I'll meet you there.Jett: Chores? After what
He didn't think he was cut out for all the mate stuff. It felt amazing having his touch lull him to sleep, and what had happened the night before will be etched into his mind forever. He was sure that his mind would use it as ammo whenever it tried to rebel against him again. His scent was lovely, and soothed him to the very core. It was an earthy smell that reminded him of times when he would roll in the dirt when he had first transformed into a wolf. He always seemed to bring out that part of him: the child that he had pushed down a long time ago.+But now he didn't think he was cut out for this because of one thing:He was stuck.Why did the Valor Pack have to be the strongest? Why did those strong arms have to hold onto him so tightly? He was thinking about trying to be polite and making him something to eat for when he woke up, but that didn't seem to really work out. Every time he moved in the slightest, those heavenly arms would pull him closer. He was glad that he could heal s
