---Alpha Jack---
When Alpha Zane called and asked if his niece and her protector could stay with us for a while, I was more than happy to bring them on when I was promised one of his best warriors would help train mine. I didn’t realize he was referring to a nineteen-year-old girl that was barely 120 pounds, but as I watch Divina dance gracefully around my warriors, toying with them, I am stunned. I look over at Greg where he is still sitting on the ground watching her intently. He must feel my gaze because his eyes meet mine and they are full of mirth. He is enjoying watching my men get their asses handed to them a little too much. I sigh and rake a hand through my hair and turn my gaze back to the sight before me. The three men I put her up against
Thank you for the gems and your comments. I appreciate both and read each and every comment. Going to try and post a second chapter this evening. I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Vivi xoxo
---Divina--- When I walk into the doors of the orphanage, I am met with complete chaos. Children are crying and the three she-wolves who are trying to care for them are frazzled as hell. These poor she-wolves are outnumbered and have no clue what they are doing. There are babies crying and children squabbling. I still can’t think of them as pups. I lived too long outside of this culture for me to think of little ones as pups. I sigh. I have my work cut out for me and dance therapy is on the bottom of my priority list. First things first, I need to calm everyone, and I do just that. No one has noticed me yet, so I stand quietly out of the way and let my own feelings of tranquility grow and expand into a large bubble around me. As my bubble grows and reache
True to his word, Alpha Jack sent me twelve she-wolves from the pack to help with the orphanage and after some trial and error, six more she-wolves and two men were added.Three of the unmatedOmegas, now live at the orphanage so the little ones will have someone there 24/7. It’s been a long two weeks and I am still organizing and running things for the most part at the orphanage, but the three Omegas who now live at the orphanage are stepping upand working together to take over running it. Thank goodness for my experience working in a daycare center or this would have been a disaster. So far, we have had only a few kinks to work out and Alpha Jack has been generous with providing a good income to the caregivers that now work at the orphanage. We have plans to set up a pre-school to prepare the little ones for school and the children that are old enough, have started at the pack school.
---Divina--- “It’s been three fucking days! There has to be something you can do.” I hear Greg hiss quietly to someone. The worry that laces his words makes my stomach clench. I start to stir and open my eyes only to slam them back closed. My voice is hoarse when I mumble, “The lights are too bright. Hurts my eyes.” I hear a sharp intake of breath before the lights go dim and I feel warm hands cup my face before the bed dips down. I reach up and place my hand on Greg’s wrist and peak one eye open slowly to test whether or not the lights were going to sear my eyes again. “What happened?” I croak out.&nbs
---Divina--- “We have a problem,” Alpha Jack says. “What kind of a problem?” Greg asks and sits up straighter. He is on full alert now. His blue eyes flicking between myself and Alpha Jack. “My scouts have observed a large number of rogues gathering at our norther border and their behavior has been odd. They seem ganglier, more grotesque.” “Shit!” I murmur under my breath. This sounds like what Vanessa’s wolf looked like when she was possessed with a mid-level demon. The lower-level demons didn’t damage their hosts quite so much, but even werewolves can’t handle a demon possession for forever. “What is it?” he asks me. “How much do you know about me?” He shakes his head and says, “Not much. Other than you are a bad ass when it comes to fighting, can exorci
Jennifer and I are finishing up the arrangements the following morning when Alpha Jack walks in the commons area and heads straight for her, wrapping his arms around her from behind. She melts back into him as he kisses her on her shoulder. I role my eyes but smile and divert my attention back to the list of meals we are putting together to accommodate the larger number of mouths to feed. “Last night Jennifer did not have any nightmares. Thank you.” Alpha Jack says. I look up and smile wide. “That’s great! You’re welcome.” “It was the best sleep I have gotten in a long time,” she smiles brightly and then turns beat red when Alpha Jack says, “Well, when you did sleep. We didn’t sleep much last night.” I giggle and shake my head. “You’re a mess.”
When I turn back around, I see green eyes peaking up at me from between her crazy curls. I give her a soft, closed mouth smile and reach my hand out to her. She leans further into the corner and shakes her head at me. Her eyes going wide, and a small whimper escapes her. “It’s okay, little Ember. We are here to help you.” When she still won’t relax, I let a calm and peaceful feeling expand from my chest and settle over her. It takes a few minutes, but she finally starts to relax and her eyes peer up, curiously at me, before she crawls into my lap and rests her head on my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her and gently rock back and forth. I close my eyes and hum softly to her while I gently move through her memories and what I see makes my heart drop. Her
When he doesn’t continue his sentence, I look back at him and he is frozen in place staring at something. I look to where his eyes are pointing and see Alpha Jack walking toward us with Jennifer and a beautiful woman with jet black hair and green eyes. This must be Aria, I think to myself. “Mate.” I hear Greg whisper and I whip my head back to him. His eyes are on Aria and the joy I feel for him finding his mate makes me tear up. I can tell the moment Aria realizes her mate is standing in front of her because she freezes, and Alpha Jack looks back at her in confusion. I grab Greg’s hand and start to pull him towards her, but he stops me, mind linking me. Greg: ‘Divina, I can’t. I can’t do this to you.’
Greg isn’t in the cottage when I get there and start packing my things. I breathe a sigh of relief when I am done, and he still hasn’t shown up. At least now he can’t try to stop me when I leave. I make my way to the Orphanage and stop by Melissa’s room. “Do we have any more empty rooms that I can stay in?” I ask. She looks up from the book she is reading and sets it beside her after dog earing the page she was on and scooting to the edge of her bed to stand up. “We do, but why are you asking?” “I’m moving in.” I say and don’t offer anything more. “Ooookay. Sure. Follow me,” she says and raises her eyebrows at me in surprise. “I would have thought you would want to stay in your little cottage with your boy toy.”
