Shit. I don’t know what had come over me. But I had wanted her I know that. Though, while I may say, I may not know what came over me, I am glad it happened. Because the feel of her lips on mine felt heavenly. Felt right. Her body pushed up against mine felt amazing. I could not help but imagine what it would feel like if our bodies were naked... She felt simply incredible. Like she was meant to be there. Her lips on mine sending surges of fire through my body. And when she kissed me back it was like my barriers had fallen. I had lost all of my control. I could not help myself. I thought she would push me away. Demand to know what I was doing, but she seemed to succumb to my kisses, kissing me back, gripping at my hair, and that only urged me on. I was a ball of lust in that moment. Pent up energy… pent up desire for the beautiful she-wolf in front of me… I think I have wanted to kiss her since that first day she came into pack. Something about her had called to me. He
After my moment of indiscretion with Cayden there was many loaded glances between us. I could not stop thinking of him. Or stop imagining his hands on my skin. It had felt amazing. Like it was meant to be. But he had been right. I should wait. Yet the teasing and flirting was fun. He continued to act normal with me when around others but on the odd occasion when it was just him and I in the office, his touch would linger just a few moments longer than it needed to… Or he would move himself a little closer than he should be… move his mouth close to my ear to whisper something to me instead of talking… All the little things that made me desperately want him more. I had made excuses to stop over at the room they had provided me with on many occasions in the last week or so. Working late in my office, and then spending the evening in the company of Cayden and Jackson. It had become a frequent occurrence now. I was three weeks into my work here, and I preferred my time here over m
Trouble across the region was spreading, so we were having to build our defences and increase our training. All our warriors were training almost non-stop, on a rota basis, the patrols increased as a a precaution, as we had a feeling it likely would not be long until The Night Shadow Pack were back. They seemed to sweep their way through the packs within the region one by one. How they had the forces to do this we had yet to decipher, but they seemed to take down the packs to the point of almost destruction, before moving onto the next pack. It was like they did not want to take over the bigger packs, simply bring them close to ruin before moving on. The smaller packs they had already demolished. Destroyed the packs and taken them over. Killing any pack members that did not manage to get away. Thankfully, most had managed to escape, and those were the rogues living in ours and a number of other packs within our region. We had been free of the fighting within our pack since
I had been happily working away in my office, admiring the beautiful flowers that Cayden had put in my office for this week. Some brightly coloured gerberas. I was looking forward to the pizza and film night Cayden and Jackson had suggested for us tonight. As soon as they had mentioned pizza, I had already decided there was no way I would be returning home, I would be staying the night once more! Not that I ever needed much convincing… I had been in their pack only a matter of weeks, yet it suddenly felt so much like a home. I felt at ease here. Happier. Like I could be me. I was laughing more. I felt freer. My spirit felt free, and it felt wonderful. Truly amazing. Neither Cayden or Jackson would judge me when I spoke, they seemed intrigued by my thoughts. And loved my enthusiasm. And I loved the way that made me feel. Like my opinion and thoughts mattered. They made me feel like I mattered. Being here with them had become important to me. It might not be a million mi
Watching Evelyn walk away from me was the so incredibly difficult. How do you let someone you care so much about walk away knowing they may not come back? Knowing they are walking into what could potentially be a bloodbath... Even my wolf was battling with me to force her to stay, and that concerned me even more. Told me that perhaps she was not meant to leave. Jackson must have picked up on my mood though. ‘We need to let her go. I know, Micco is fighting me. Telling me to stop her, but she has to follow her orders. She isn’t in our pack officially. I wish she was now. Wish we had pushed for her to be.” He had mindlinked. ‘But what if she doesn’t come back to us Jax. I can’t go through it all again. She isn’t my mate, but there is something there. And as much as I hate it, I know you feel something too.’ I tell him. He looks at me. ‘I know. But we have to let her go. Hope she comes back. She won’t be fighting. She’ll be in the offices locked up working. We will
I fight tears walking away from Jackson and Cayden. Part of me wants to go against the wishes of my Alpha and stay in the safety of Mystic Shadow Pack. But my wolf, Orla is urging my to do the right thing, my gut is telling me I need to head home. I know it is the right thing to do. You do not desert your pack when they need you. No matter how hard it may be. So I push myself forward. My feet feeling heavy. I quickly collect my things and I make my way to the edges of Mystic Shadow Pack, the forest surrounding me. The sun was shining brightly again today, giving the illusion of a wonderful day. Today was going to be far from wonderful. I had no clue what today would hold for me. But I knew where I was going there would be bloodshed. Death. Pain and suffering. Just like the last time Night Shade Pack had invaded my pack. And I truly don’t know if I am ready to go through all of that again. Though, in truth, were any of us? Were any of us in the region ready to be going throu
I walk a little slower knowing that Jackson would not be happy with me, but I had given in to my own weakness. I needed to see if Evelyn would be okay. And the only person I knew that may be able to tell me that was Ariella. ‘Beta Cayden, is that you my dear?’ she responds to my mindlink almost immediately. Anyone would think she was awaiting my contact. Or is that my wishful thinking, trying to reassure myself she has some sort of ability, that backs up these seer abilities we are told she holds? The abilities that will be able to tell me whether or not Evelyn would be okay… ‘Yes. I am sorry for mindlinking…’ I begin, suddenly uncertain if I have done the right thing. ‘Young man, you do not apologise. I am here for you all. You know that and I can sense you need some reassurance. Perhaps a little guidance? What is it you wish you speak to me about?’ she interrupts, asking kindly. I always found her voice calming, reassuring. Like a motherly sort
‘My mate?’ I stutter to Orla. How can this be happening. Now of all times. As werewolves you learn of fated mates. The bond. The connection. How wonderful it feels. And being a teenage girl you start building up dreams of meeting your fated mate. Read stories, watch films, and hope for dreams of romance. This was not the things I had dreamt of! Meeting my fated mate in the midst of a fucking warzone! ‘Go find mate!’ Orla is yelling at me. My mind is still trying to process what is happening. My mate is here? But… I knew everyone in River Ash Pack... I would have known if my mate was here. My heart dropped. That has to mean that my fated mate is one of the soldiers invading us? No. That can’t be right. Why would the moon goddess fate me to a soldier of that pack?! The pack that killed my father! The pack that was instigating conflict on our region? ‘Now girl! Now. Mate!’ Orla is pushing me. I feel her forcing the shift now. My body begins the modification in
