Chapter 16
The next day after training, Ricky was summoned to the Alpha's study.
"Oooh, someone's in trouble." Daniel teases."Flirt with the Alpha's chick?" Matt joins in.I see Ricky throw me a concerned glance before he heads off up the hill to the Pack House and I feel that all too familiar knot forming in my stomach.It will be fine, girl. Liam said he will handle it all so trust him. Ember reassures me.Definitely easier said than done.Jaydon approaches me and nods a greeting."I have been told that our alpha is in a great mood today." He says, sauntering off with that.Megs looks a bit bemused and flicks her short brunette locks away from her face, scrunching up her pixie-like nose in a manner that resembles disgust."I'll never understand that guy." She mutters. "He's all cryptic messages and dire warnings, and then he throws out some insignificant information like that."I just shrug my sRelated chapters

I throw myself down onto the ground, leaning against a tree and looking out onto the lake. What I would give for everything just to be simple again! Ricky doesn't seem to understand that revenge won't change anything - it won't bring mom and dad back, it won't remove the memories of that horrific night, it won't repair our broken childhood. The more I think about it, the more ludicrous the whole thing becomes. I love my brother. He's been the one constant all through my life and I trust him more than anyone, but he's wrong to push for me to choose revenge over Liam. "There you are. " a husky voice breaks me from my thoughts and I look up to find Liam staring down at me, concern etched in his face. "I just needed a moment alone. "I sigh and get up, leaning against him and letting him wrap his arms protectively around me, resting his chin on my head."Your brother is one stubborn arse, babe." "It's just that all we've ever kno

I watch in horror as the old Ford turns out onto the road leading off of Dark Moon land, panic rising and constricting my throat. Ember howls within me, begging to be let loose to chase after him. I let her, my clothing ripping from my body as my auburn wolf emerges, lunging forward in pursuit of my brother. Why would he leave us without saying goodbye? I whimper. Ember's paws beat the ground in haste, cutting through the trees on each side of the road. I can feel Ricky slipping through my fingers. Ember takes a shortcut, legs flying as her muscles strain with the exertion. She flings herself into the road just before the pillars marking the end of pack land, the Ford's brakes screeching as Ricky slams on brakes to avoid hitting us. "What the fuck, Natalia!" He shouts as he climbs out of the passenger side, slamming old Betsy's door behind him. "Do you want to be fucking run over?" Ember sits down, panting heavily. "What the fuck are you thinking?" Ricky continues to rage befor

Beccy has become a frequent fixture at our training sessions, seating herself daintily under the large oak tree and fanning herself with a Chinese styled fan. I'm not too sure what her intentions are but I have a feeling it has something to do with the council. Today she's even more annoying than usual, dressed in a pale yellow summer dress and wedges which add an extra two inches at least into her already impressive height. I hold back a gag as she spots Liam on the opposite side of the arena and flutters her eyelashes behind her fan at him. The slut. "Oi! Earth to Nats, you're meant to be helping me." Ash whinges, throwing a bag of knotted ropes at me to help her untie. I apologise, getting stuck into the task before Liam's tantalising scent becomes overpowering and I look up to find him staring down at me. "Why on earth are you untying ropes when you're meant to be training?" Ash shrugs her shoulders and points to Jaydon, merely responding with "ask him". I've barely spoken

The next few weeks flew by in a blur of activity as Vicky returned from her trip to a nearby pack with her newly found mate. The change in her was blatant, the timid mouse of a woman suddenly becoming a flamboyant - and rather demanding - peacock. The reason for her rapid transformation became clear the instant we spied her new mate. Even from across the training fields we could see his royal blue satin shirt and slicked back blonde hair."You can't be serious!" I heard Megan exclaim. "What's wrong?" "That's Lorenzo, youngest of six children of the Alpha and Luna of the Frozen Mountain pack." She kicks a fallen pinecone and watches it fly into the trunk of one of the many pine trees that surround us. "In psych terms; he's filled with delusions of grandeur and is one massive prick."I suppress a laugh, "I've never seen the word 'prick' mentioned in any psychology textbooks, not that I've read many."We watch as Lorenzo is joined by Beccy before they make their way to the pack house,

"You know, if your secret comes out now, it won't only put you in danger but you'll also be stealing the limelight from the bride… and no bride tolerates that." Ash said as she grabs a handful of popcorn from the bowl sitting between her and Megs.She and Amy had been delegated to the first round of patrols so it was much later that evening when we were all able to catch up with each other. "Oh definitely!" Amy agrees, "Vicky will come after you with a knife! Bridezilla style." "I'd be more worried about Lorenzo. I think he might be more put out than Vicky would be. Imagine the tantrum he would show if the spotlight shifted." We all giggle at the mental picture Megan painted. Lorenzo definitely wasn't the typical male within the lycan community. Our girl time was interrupted when there was a loud knock on the door before it was pushed open and Matt, Kane and Daniel barged in and settled themselves between us."Good evening ladies." Matt says brightly. "How was your day?" We quick

The post mortem of the dead rogue revealed that the poor creature had been severely beaten and starved before it was poisoned. My patrol unit was sworn to secrecy and my cellphone was confiscated until the pictures could be analyzed by Liam and his team. More people were added to the patrols and they were more vigorously checked up on, the only explanation to the pack for these changes being the upcoming wedding. On the wedding front, things seemed to be going smoothly - at least from the outside. Liam and I were keeping our contact to the very minimum with the sheer number of visitors now traipsing through the territory. While I knew he would tell the world that we were fated to be mates, the thought still terrified me for some strange reason. Liam didn't really have much time to do much else other than his duties as an alpha. That didn't mean he wasn't thinking of me, or that I didn't think of him. I frequently felt him looking at me when I was assigned a task close to the pack ho

"Get up!" Megan's voice came the same time a pillow whacked me over the head - the rudest wakeup call I've ever known. I sit up, feeling slightly groggy. This lack of sleep is catching up on me again. I did a ton of thinking last night and decided that I would accept Liam as my mate as soon as Vicky's festivities were over. There was no putting it off any longer. My body craved him. "We're wasting valuable shopping time!" Megan moaned again at me before I drop down from my bunk and get dressed into a simple pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt. "Where are the twins?" I ask her, noticing Ash and Amy were missing from our cabin. "They're fetching their car and getting final orders from Beta Harris." Megan flicked some mascara through her lashes before passing the wand to me, waiting until I follow suit. With a nod of approval, she waits for me to finish getting dressed and brush my teeth. "Rough night?" She asks. "I heard you to
Love Me Not : a haunted alpha tale Chapter 24
After the delightful interaction with Lana, I needed to burn some frustration so I let Ember loose and got lost in the feeling of her paws beating the ground steadily as she ran the usual training route around the lake. We were almost half way when Ember picks up a smell which makes our heart quicken and she instantly follows it until we come to the base of the waterfall. There is no one there. Ember shakes her head in confusion and sniffs the floor, picking up the scent and tracking it until it reaches the water. A wet hand suddenly reaches up from the depths and grabs Ember's scruff, pulling us into the water. Startled, Ember turns to snap at our attacker to find Liam grinning evilly at us. "I thought you were better than that." He taunts. I take control, forcing the shift, even though Ember protests. She'll get her turn again just now anyway. I'm not planning on running naked back to the cabin, that's for sure. "You caug
