"Tomorrow is your big day," I said excitedly. "I think it is going to be fun." I was sitting leaning against Arion with my feet on Arrow. "Yeah, it will be a lot of fun but remember, you promised," Arion reminded me before kissing my temple. I guess I had developed a bad habit of taking off when I became overwhelmed. I had promised no matter what happens at the party, I wouldn't do it. "I will be fine, I promise I won't run off," I reiterated hoping to put their minds at ease. "We trust you," the twins answered in unison. I know they trust me but I wasn't sure if I trust myself. I knew my track record was not very good; I got overwhelmed and I took off, that's what I did. "Babe, you ok?" Arrow asked. "Yeah, I'm fine, why?" I asked nervously. Did my scent change? Did they sense something was changing? "You just seemed lost in thought, I wanted to make sure you are good," Arrow was studying my face confused. "Sorry, I was thinking about the party," I wasn't technically lying.
I tried to pretend it was just a miss understanding with Alexia. She wouldn't really do that, right? We ate dessert and after that, coffee was served while everyone chatted. It was interesting hearing the different ways the packs did things. Luna Mist had been talking about throwing a ball for anyone who had not found their mate yet. She said she would like to invite other packs to attend. On the other hand, Luna Deirdra wanted to keep it how it was, wolves found their mates when the Moon Goddess determined it was time. Luna Mist was talking about the importance of keeping the wedding ceremony as part of the process while Luna Deirdra didn't believe it was necessary. Luna Nina thought it should be left up to the individual packs, if they wanted a wedding ceremony, they could have it, if not, that was ok too. She also said it would be up to Luna Mist if she wanted to organize a ball for those who would like to find their mates. She said it shouldn't be mandatory but instead, any wolves
I woke up squished between my mates. I rubbed my eyes trying to remember what time Arrow had come in. He had been talking to Dillon for a long time. They had been friends since they were kids. I shimmied down enough to get out from between them. The bathroom was calling me. When I came out, I grabbed the decorations I had hidden earlier. I started hanging streamers and balloons around the room. I had bought a giant sign that said "birthday fun this way," I hung it on the wall across from our door. As I made my way to the kitchen, I hung streamers, balloons, and threw confetti which was my favorite part! When I got to the living room, I took out all the presents I had gotten. I piled them up on the table in a pyramid. I continued hanging decorations. Once I was satisfied with the decorations, I went into the kitchen. I made all of their favorite breakfast foods, and set them on the table. I picked up the small box I had hidden yesterday. It was the present I was most afraid to give t
When I saw the twins dressed in their tuxedos I wanted to rip them off. They were gorgeous normally but in tuxes, they looked like they just stepped out of a magazine, or one of those "hot hunks" calendars. "You two look amazing," I said from the bathroom. I stepped out wearing the strapless black dress they had made for me. It was sleek, with a slit almost up to my hip. It sparkled in the light in a way that emphasized my body perfectly. It had matching black stilettos, making me feel taller and my legs look longer. They had a specific diamond necklace made for me with a matching tennis bracelet. The diamond charm was two A's woven together with an R in the middle. it was dainty and accented the dress. The tennis bracelet was a series of tiny A's. I couldn't help touching them. My earrings were sapphire studs with diamond drops hanging down. The sapphires were surrounded by small diamonds. I rechecked the mirror, is that really me?The twins were watching me closely, "Babe, is someth
After a while, Luna Nina's voice came over the speakers. "We would like to have everyone join us for the traditional cake. It was made by none other than our very own Nadia!" Everyone cheered, my mom was the greatest baker in the pack. Everyone loved her special desserts, cakes, and pies. The waiters rolled the huge cake into the room. Everyone gasped, it was stunning. The cake stood four tiers high. The rich royal blue and gold colors could only be achieved with a special touch. The cake had sparklers lit surrounding every tier. In big letters, the words "Happy Birthday Alphas" was written on the top tier. The top had a group of sparklers that were blue and gold. It was stunning, to say the least. All at once the pack began singing happy birthday. When the song finished, the sparklers on the cake grew bigger before the twins blew them out. The crowd cheered. Arrow and Arion made the first slice together before the waiters took over. I stood next to them wondering how I had gotten s
I tried again to get free. My leg was starting to hurt a lot more. Our wolves will heal us but broken bones can take a little longer. I tried one more time; my foot connected with something, and he let out a loud grunt. I crashed to the ground landing hard on my shoulder. To my horror, he grabbed my foot as I tried to crawl away. "Let her go!" came a feral yell. Arion looked like he was going to shred whoever this was to pieces. "No, you will never see her again," my assailant yelled back. Without another word, Arion lunged forward. My assailant shifted as Arion charged. The room was filled with sounds of snarls and teeth snapping together. I watched as my mate tossed the guy like a rag doll. I thought it was over but my assailant got up charging Arion once again. I tried to pull myself away from the fight. Before I knew what was happening, three more wolves arrived led by Arrow. I watched as Arrow grabbed the back of my assailant. A sickening tearing sound was followed by the soun
"If we wait for the test results, it may offer a clue how to find her or maybe who took her," Doc was saying. I wasn't going to sit around waiting for test results. I sent out an alert through the mind link. "Your Luna has been taken! Everyone looks for her now!" I yelled hoping someone would have seen something. "I want to go to Sheila's," Arrow announced. She has a vendetta against Rina, I am going to start searching there," Arrow said before shifting. He tore off down the hall. He had a point, I shifted and headed toward the pack house. They must have used the same gas when they tried to take Rina from there. I shifted, we are much faster in wolf form. I reached the packhouse in record time. I tore open the door to find groggy wolves wandering around. They must be feeling the after-effects of the gas they inhaled. I ordered everyone to open all of the windows, hopefully, the last traces of gas would dissipate quickly. "Arion, what's happened?" my mother asked as the fresh air b
.Rina's Location...What was happening? I could barely open my eyes. "Come on Princess, the boss wants to see you."He dragged me up from the ground. I tried to pull away but I couldn't. "Why?" I whispered.He sneered, "You should have rejected them. They don't belong to you!" He continued dragging me on the hard ground. "Hello Rina, did you sleep well?" a mocking voice asked. The voice sounded so far away, yet it was also familiar. "Put her up there, I want to see her face when we attach the machine," the voice said. I was lifted onto a cold table. My body spasmed as the injuries on my back stretched. "Don't worry, when this is over, you will be mine," he reached out grabbing my breast. "All of you will be mine."I whimpered but my arms wouldn't move to push him away. "Oh, I know how hard it is to wait, maybe I can give you a taste of what I will do after this," he sneered. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. I felt the darkness taking over me. I struggled to stay awake, what were
