MischaI dodged the blow, hissing from the force that knocked the wind out of my chest.Damn, I thought. Alis was always hard to beat in a good day, and impossible on other days.I shifted back to my human form and charged directly at her black wolf, which dodged seamlessly, jumping up in the air and shifting back to her human form. I blinked; and that was all it took for her to plant her foot on my face.“Argh!” I growled, tumbling on the floor. I found my footing and came face to face with her pointer finger extended out into a razor sharp, curved claw.“Call,” she said, barely panting, while I sweated buckets.I felt the sting of defeat again, but it left a smile on my face nevertheless.“Damn,” I said with laughter bubbling up in my chest. “You win again, Alis.”She smirked at me, “I always win, Misch. But you’re getting better.”The compliment made me preen a little, while I wiped the sweat off my brow.Benjamin had been able to use his status as one of the strongest warriors in

AlishaAfter reaching the pack clinic from my spar with Mischa, I walked through the back entrance to inform Simon I had returned. My feet padded down the hallway, through the sterile scent of the wards and down to Sinon’s office when the door opened and out walked Derek.Our eyes met and I kept my voice measured when I greeted him.“Good morning,” I said.I could feel his eyes all over my disheveled state - I hadn’t yet taken a shower.“Hi,” he eventually said. “I came over to see you. Simon informed me you were out.”“What is it you want to talk about?” I asked him plainly. “If this is about the children then I expect you’ve met my conditions.”Honestly I expected Derek to come out and say my conditions were nothing short of unreasonable, but for the last two days since I sent him that letter he hadn’t done that.To my utmost surprise, the Alpha nodded and he replied with, “And I’ve spared no expense in making sure your specifications were met. It’s done, all of it.”I was silent fo

AlishaI fell silent. Everything that Simon had just told me rang through my head but I still felt uneasy. It was as if my emotions were on overdrive and I had to struggle to keep myself in check.Derek had done this to me. If I had never seen him again, I would have felt better. It had been a numb existence without him but at least the memories of pain and hurt I had been through because of him had become relegated to only my nightmares, instead of them plaguing my waking hours as well.I let out a sigh and felt Simon pay my head gently in the manner that he liked to.“Why don’t you take a long break?” He asked. “Clinic day’s over, so you can go on and rest until the twins get back, hmm?”I silently glanced at the wall clock on the corner and saw it was only 5.30pm. The twins were supposed to be back by 6pm, as Derek had promised.It might be a little early but…“I’ll go pick the twins up now,” I stood, making up my mind. I felt like I would overthink if I ended up staying on my own

AlishaThe way to the dining room was filled with the twins’ running commentary on how their day went; how they ate lunch and spent some time in the garden, how they ended up taking a nap in the BIGGEST BEDROOM EVER(!) and everything else in between from the color of their bedroom walls to the tasty cake they had for dessert that afternoon.I kept silent through it all, holding Ares in my arms and letting their words wash over me.As we entered the dining room, I placed Ares in a seat across from his sister, and I saw Derek reach to pull out my chair and my jaw was tense from how much I gritted my teeth.Walking away from him I sat on the other side of the table.He looked stoic yet concealed hurt was behind his eyes as he sat down on the chair he intended to be for me.Dinner was tense as the maids served the food, but I couldn’t help my mouth watering when the aroma of steak and the side dishes hit my nostrils. As one of the maids passed by him I noticed Derek say something impercep

Derek“I can’t do that,” my words made my mate stop once more.If hell was a feeling I was certainly there now. To hear her say those words, that even if she forgave me she couldn’t forget… it was far too painful for me to withstand. How could I, when she had even implied that I should move on and marry another? That I should forget about having her back in my life, save for the twins? It was like she was a judge of my sins, damning me to a life sentence filled with eternal regret and pain.“That’s not for you to decide,” she responded to me.My wolf roiled in me, straining to reach out to our mate through the bond. That mate bond with was warm in my chest now bhrnwd with the power do a thousand suns.“I’m not going to do as you wish this time, Alisha,” i said to her, my tone certain and leaving no room for doubt. “I’m sorry, but this isn’t for you to decide either. I can’t move on, and leave you behind. Not when I know it would be a lie. I can’t be a husband to anyone else, and no on

Derek“What are you still doing up?”I stared at my mother through the gap in the door of my study and felt like she was chastising me just like when I did something bad as a child. Her eyes were weary and she looked exhausted but she still came to check up on me.I let out a sigh; it was her knocking on the door of the study that was what drew me out of my work flow.“I’ll be going to bed soon, mother,” i responded to her, before turning briefly to eye the clock on the wall. It said the time was just last midnight and my face must have shown surprise at how quickly time flowed because I heard my mother huff.“Sure sure,” she said knowingly. “Just don’t overwork yourself, Derek. It wouldn’t do for you to break down simply because you wanted to work.”“Yes mother,” i droned in a monotone that made her roll her eyes at me.Then, in a softer voice she asked, “I saw Alisha come into the clinic earlier this evening. Did she come by? Simon said she might have,” hope was clear in her eyes as

DerekShe shook her head as did Benjamin.“You’re not going alone, Derek,” Alisha was the one who said that, and Mischa and Benjamin looked to be in agreement.“If it’s something like this then the less everyone else knows about this the better,” my best friend seemed to agree with my mate. “Let’s hit at them tonight. We can destroy their borders while we’re at it.”“I’m coming too,” Mischa said, and Benjamin was about to protest, but she gave him a glare, and spoke again, “Don’t tell me you forget how I’m also a warrior, Ben. I can handle myself and this mission will be a breeze, trust me. I’m not staying back.”My best friend looked like he had tasted a lemon, but didn’t say anything to refute what his mate had said and she looked mighty satisfied at that.“I’ll get Hilda and Mark to watch the twins,” Alisha added, and I nodded. “I can trust them to handle anything that comes up.”A part of me truly wanted to also stop her from doing so - putting herself in danger wasn’t something I

AlishaOf all the things I wanted to do, being by Derek’s side for this mission want something I wanted. But I had no choice and before I could form a word in protest, we had already agreed on a given signal and Benjamin had gone off with my friend.I lay in wait with Derek, trying not to feel stiff by his side. This was nothing but business, i reminded myself. That was it and that I had to remind myself of anyway.I stayed as calm as possible and focused on taking in deep breaths and exhaling softly. I enveloped myself in the sounds of the forest and the swelling of nocturnal life around me. I could hear amidst the silence, the chirping of crickets, the boots of owls and the rustling of the breeze.It was a peaceful night, and the autumn chill of the night made me grateful for picking out this knitted medium thick sweater to wear instead of just a t-shirt.“So,” Derek spoke and I became extremely tense and stiff again.How the hell was he so damn close?!My heart began to race and I
