Cali
How could this be real, surely if there was an entire books worth of abnormal shifters in the world then there would be some other record of it, word would have travelled if only in the form of legends or children’s stories. It couldn’t possibly be real.
Silence enveloped us as Michelle left the room and the two of us sat in silence, unmoving as we individually contemplated the possibility that we were not alone, that someone at some point before us had experienced the life we were living.
Tristan shifted on the couch and sat back opening the book. He started leafing through the pages one at a time, scanning the writings within.
Not willing to wait I curled into his side and read alongside him, my eyes skimming until Tristan seemingly noticed something I missed, he went back several pages to what appeared to be the beginning of a story.
“This one I think.” He muttered and took a deep breath b
Dear readers, Thank you so much for sticking with 'Fire and Ice' for so long. I do owe you all an apology, its been a long time since my last update, I recently got married and unfortunately wedding prep seemed to take over my life, in hopes of making it up to you all I made this chapter extra long and I hope to update a lot more frequently going forward. L.M.Nokes XOXO
CaliThe days passed in a comfortable routine, and winter was fast approaching. Between all of my pack duties, the odd spanner that was thrown into the works due to the ongoing war, training with Freya and spending time with Tristan and our friends every day was a long one, but I wouldn’t sacrifice any part of my life to create more time, I was building the kind of friendships that lasted a lifetime and helping to keep our people safe and happy.Tristan had been working hard with Jackson to train up new warriors on an accelerated timescale to reinforce our boarder patrols, Oak creek and Lotus pack had sent along several men from their own packs to be trained up alongside our own something that Tristan was allowing temporarily due to the whole alliance being under threat.The East coast pack was making a little noise and the pack leaders were working to try and settle them down and hold the impending dispute at b
Cali“I still think our best option is to split the Warriors and co-ordinate our attack from multiple points. That was if one point is blocked it won’t delay our whole contingent of warriors. We have five cars of five, if we have one enter from the East, one from the south and two from the West at different point and attack their forces from behind, then our last car sneak through the northern border and reinforce the warriors holding the line.”“And I’m telling you that won’t work, if they have the numbers that we expect they have, by the time we get the car right the way round to the eastern side of the territory the pack will have lost the line and there will be no border to protect.”“Not if we cut across the northern edge to the eastern side of the territory.”“Guys, I get that you are trying to hash this out in advance but until we hear from the
CaliRoman, Jackson, Michael and Kyle were all already situated around the table in the war room, looking down at maps as white noise sounded through the speaker in the middle of the table.“Is this up to date?” Jackson asked referring to the map before him as his eyes searched out Kyle.“Yes, as of a month ago, and we have had no reports of anything changing since then. Luna, you should familiarise yourself with the layout also.” Kyle responded his overlong dirty blonde hair flopping around his face as he spoke with such enthusiasm.Stepping closer to the table the logistics expert slid a map across the table in front of me before stepping closer in order to talk me through it.“This is the map of Dark Forest and the surrounding areas. The red line is their border however we expect they are currently holding the line around here.” He stated, drawing a new line on the
Cali“Shit! it was all one big distraction. Shit!” The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them and suddenly, I heard Tristan’s voice across the radio.“Cali, what’s going on?”Rather than announcing the problem to all the warriors I mind linked my mate, so thankful for the unlimited distance that came with the mark of a mate.‘They are attacking Blackrock, the warriors that were lying in wait on the west of Dark Forest, they weren’t there for them they were waiting for us to send all of our warriors south. We just lost two men on the border.’‘Fuck’‘Tristan, I need you to get home.’‘We’re at least fifteen minutes out.’ He responded desolation tainting his voice and I swallowed hard.‘Okay, I’m giving command of the war room to Michael and Kyle they can handle ever
CaliThey say when you come to the end of your life you see the beginning, that the life you have led flashes before your eyes like an old movie reel.But standing there, staring at certain death, I didn’t see the life I had led, I saw all the things I had yet to do. I saw Tristan and I laying on a beach and playing with our children, I saw huge family Christmases at the pack house and watching our children meet their mates.I saw love and life in complete contrast to the death that stared me down.A shiver wracked my body as reality hit, not only were we about to lose, but we were going to lose spectacularly.A group of wolves somewhere in the middle started to shift, six of them in total changed to human form, completely naked they stood amongst their men and stared me down.“Luna huh? Well, we made a mistake letting you go.” One of the men on the left stated and Freya gr
CaliIt was like watching the dust settle after a storm in the desert, the green light seemed to dim and shower down blinking from existence where it met the ground, each grain of light causing a sprig of fresh grass to grow or a flower to bloom on the trampled battle worn terrain. It was like a touch of beauty in an otherwise desolate scene.Everything was still once again, like a battle hadn’t been waging only moments before, the trees swayed in the morning breeze, the sun broke through the clouds and a serene silence fell across the land.I glanced around us fearful for the state of our men, but our warriors stood looking at the body strewn ground in astonishment without a single scratch on them, as though the light had healed the wounds of the battle. Unfortunately, the six men that lost their lives lay broken on the ground, unaffected by the wave of light and I felt a sadness creep in at the sight.
CaliMy whole body was alight as Tristan ran his hands up my bare legs, along my hips and waist, his fingers brushing the sides of my breasts and caressing my neck before settling on the sides of my face and he lay himself between my open legs, his erection pressing against my wet core, and I groaned from that feeling alone. The want coursing through me had me heated from the inside out and I wasn’t surprised to see small flames licking at my skin.Reigning it in I took a deep breath to control the wolf in me and watched as the flames disappeared while Tristan watched me fight for control.“Sorry.” I uttered, praying that he didn’t take it back, that he didn’t stop where this was going.“It’s okay. Let go, feel, I’ll match you.” He stated demonstrating when he brought ice to his fingertips. “Just let me know if I hurt you, I’ll be as gentle as I
Cali“It feels like it’s been ages since we had a catch up. How are you after this morning?” I asked as Freya poured out glasses of wine for each of us while we waited for Amber to join us, no matter how often I suggested it the Blonde refused to move into the pack house full time, instead opting to use her designated room sporadically when she was here working late and residing with her parents the rest of the time.She had been a little off the last couple of weeks, avoiding any of the social evenings and group meals, and only showing up for work, and with everything that had been going on it felt like I barely saw her even during the working day.Considering her background in teaching Tristan and I had decided it was a good use of her skills to have Amber be the packs Liaison with all things education and training and she was working with Lucas to set up a new physical training program off the bac
