Sebastian sighed heavily, feeling the weight of his decision settle over him like a heavy cloak. He knew that agreeing to take on the role of Alpha meant sacrificing his own desires and ambitions. He just couldn’t stand by and watch the pack suffer under incompetent leadership, no matter how reluctant he was.As he turned to leave the study, Seth’s voice stopped him in his tracks. “Sebastian, there is something you need to know.”, Seth said, his voice grave.Sebastian turned back to face his grandfather, and a sense of apprehension gnawed in his gut. “What is it, granddad?”Seth hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Your Beta, Adam… he’s been challenging my authority, always questioning my decisions. He is trouble is you ask me.”Sebastian’s eyes narrowed in disbelief. “Adam? But why? He’s always been loyal to you.”Seth shook his head, his expression pained. “I don’t know, Sebastian. But whatever his reasons, he’s become a threat to the stability of the pack. I need you to be prep
Enora’s heart raced with anticipation as she drove towards the pack grounds, her mind buzzing with excitement at the prospect of finally being allowed to visit and to meet with Seth and Clovis. She couldn’t wait to see what it was like in one of those close-knit communities.She looked at Google Maps and saw that she should be almost there, though there was nothing that was telling her that she was near civilization. There were all dense forests around her. And then she felt her car lurch suddenly, the engine sputtering before coming to a complete stop. Panic surged through her veins as she realized she was stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no idea how to fix her car, and no signal on her phone.Enora was in despair when she finally saw a car approaching her. She got out immediately and started to wave towards the driver, hoping that he would get the message and would pull over. Fingers crossed that it wasn’t some creep!“Hello, do you need help?”, she heard before the man got o
Enora was excited as she stepped out of the sleek black limousine, curtesy of Natalie, with her friends Sophia, Lisa, and Levi. They were all dressed to the nines, ready to attend one of the exclusive events hosted by one of Enora’s colleagues. It had been a while since they had all been able to spend time together, and Enora was looking forward to catching up and having a good time. As they made their way through the bustling crowd towards the entrance of the venue, Enora couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation building in the air. The event promised to be lavish and extravagant, with all the glitz and glamour befitting a high-profile affair. Once inside, Enora and her friends mingled with the other guests, sipping cocktails, and enjoying the luxurious surroundings. The party was in full swing, with music pumping and laughter filling the air. Sophia pulled Enora with her to the dance floor, both happy to let their hair down for a night and to shake off the stress from a wee
As the pulsating beat of the music filled the air, Sebastian navigated through the crowded dance floor. His eyes fixated on Enora as she swayed to the rhythm of the music. She had an intoxicating grace and was a vision of sensuality that he couldn’t let go. After gulping down the last of several whiskeys, he slammed the empty glass on the bar. With a predatory glint in his eyes, Sebastian closed the distance between them and pulled Enora into his arms, his hand trailing possessively over her curves as they moved together in a sensual dance. The heat between them was palpable, their bodies moving in perfect harmony as they surrendered to the intoxicating rhythm of the music. But just as the passion between them threatened to ignite, Lucas appeared. His grey eyes were dark and stormy with desire, he was pulled towards both his mates on the dance floor. His own thoughts were scaring him, but the mate bond was controlling him now. He swept Enora away from Sebastian’s embrace, and Enora
Enora had sought refuge in the anonymity of the gym’s self-defence class, hoping that the physical exertion would provide a temporary escape from the emotional turmoil that had consumed her since the events of the night of the event. Several days had passed, but she couldn’t get over the fact that she had let herself go like that. It was so unlike her! Enora felt embarrassed at what she did and what she let Lucas and Sebastian do to her. The attraction she felt towards both was strong, but still, it wasn’t in her personality to get off in public, with two men nonetheless! Shaking the thoughts off, she moved through the motions with determination, the repetitive drills offering a momentary reprieve from the whirlwind of conflicting emotions raging within her. She had gone out of her way to find a class that wasn’t taught by Lucas, in order to avoid seeing him. As she sparred with her partner, Enora found herself channeling her frustrations into each strike, the rhythmic movements he
The journey to the pack grounds was a somber one for Sebastian, his mind preoccupied with the weight of the responsibilities that awaited him. Seth had summoned him, and he didn’t like it one bit. As he approached the familiar territory, Sebastian couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. The dense forest looked daunting instead of its usual comfort.Meanwhile, Lucas was making the same way towards the pack grounds, unaware of what and who was awaiting him. Seth had summoned him, and his grandfather, Clovis, had begged him to obey and come down.Lucas raced down to the mansion where his grandfather’s office was, and his brakes screeched as he halted in front of the door. Lucas took a deep breath before pushing the heavy oak door open, the familiar scent of cedar and leather greeting him as he stepped into the dimly lit office. Clovis sat behind the ornate desk, his expression tense and weary, as if he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.“Lucas.”, Clovis greeted him sounding
After the tumultuous day they had, Sebastian, Adam and Lucas found themselves sitting together in the kitchen of the mansion. They just had dinner in complete silence, because all of them were lost in their own thoughts. The air was heavy with anticipation as they prepared themselves for the conversations to be had. Conversations that required them to be honest and vulnerable.Sebastian, even the diplomat, took the lead, his piercing blue eyes fixed on his companions with unwavering determination. “Gentlemen.”, he began, “we need to talk about many things. Let’s start with the easy, I need more drinks to discuss the hard.”Lucas snickered. “Is anything easy?”“Well no, but let’s compare stories of the past first. I think our grandparents told us different things.”, Sebastian said. He looked at Adam. “Can you share, you might know most?”, he asked him. Adam nodded, and he took a big gulp of his bottle of beer.“The war was started out of petty greed from Seth. He was Alpha of a differe
As the first light of dawn filtered through the windows of the cabin, Sebastian stirred from his slumber, blinking away the remnants of sleep. He shifted on the couch, his body stiff and sore from the night before. Turning his head, he found himself face to face with Lucas, who was still asleep beside him. For a moment, Sebastian’s heart clenched with uncertainty as he gazed at Lucas’ peaceful expression. He had woken up tangled together with another man, his mind still reeling from the intensity of their shared passion. Despite the pleasure they had experienced together, a nagging doubt gnawed at the edges of Sebastian’s consciousness.With a heavy sigh, Sebastian carefully extricated himself from Lucas’ embrace, his movements slow and deliberate as he tried to make as little noise as possible. He stood up from the couch, his mind racing with conflicting emotions as he tried to make sense of the events of the previous night. As he made his way to the door, Sebastian glanced back at L
