“What are you two discussing without me?” Rogan gritted through his teeth and he came close. My thought was he presumed his mother was being angry towards me but I knew what her true intentions were. I went up to him nuzzling his neck and he calmed a bit. “Your mother and I were just discussing some of our future as mates now.” I push into him extra so he knew I was happy about it. He put his head down curling me into his larger wolf body. He looked up though at his mother. “I will not have you trying to keep us apart anymore mother.” He stated so simply but it was full of anger. I understood where he was coming from because now that it was out in the open it felt more upsetting to him that they had insisted on keeping us apart but the other side of me knew they were trying to protect him and ensure the pack accepted us all. It was why no matter what happened with us being mates his father had named me a High Priestesses. It ensured protection for me no matter what Rogan and I
There were more pack members on top of me for the rest of the night than I knew what to do with congratulating, making requests, and now acknowledging my existence. I did my best to handle it with dignity and grace. I wanted Laura and Rollo especially proud of me. It neared the end of the night and at last, I escaped to get to Reese for a brief moment. She naturally squealed and jumped into me hugging and squeezing me tightly, “I’m so happy for you! It’s like a magical happy ending isn’t it? Oh my gosh, you must be ecstatic!” “I’m happy yes but I think I’m too tired to be ecstatic and with all the events of the night I’m not even sure where Rogan and I go next but yes it is pretty magical.” With Reese, it was easy to be excited and nice to feel the joy in her flowing into me. She pulled apart still jumping up and down and squeezing my hands. “This is going to be so great! Oh my gosh, I have to get to do you’re your for your marriage ceremony!” Marriage Ceremony, my stomach hurt
I said my goodbyes quickly after things calmed down. I assured Laura I would call her in the morning when I woke up as well as Sarah. They both were concerned and Rogan the entire time looked completely lost and consumed with sorrow. I was able to say goodbye to everyone but Erin as despite my best efforts to seek him out he was nowhere to be found. I told myself that was probably for the best and tried to make things lighter as even the Alpha and Luna had left to get Roe to bed and leave us in the now clean up of the ceremony. “How about you give me a tour?” I asked and for about an hour Rogan spent taking me from room to room. I was trying to pay attention but in the end, my nerves and my thoughts made it very difficult to pay attention. Rogan too was lost in his mind because he was more of a curator of a museum who has gone over the same speech hundreds of times rather than just him and me talking. I knew he was beating himself up for breaking my hand but with the help of my fel
Looking back at him seemingly with his dark hopeful eyes made me feel broken into but it was true and I couldn’t fight anymore my wolf screaming at me that this was our mate. I’d made a promise now to Roe and myself that I wasn’t going anywhere but I wasn’t sure if I was ready to tell Rogan. I thought quickly about how to resolve this and ensure that this would work. “I will stay but there has to be some acceptance on your part as well.” He grinned so excited he was like a little boy again getting a present from Santa. “Name it.” He stepped forward but I still stepped back nervous to be too close to him until I’d said my peace. “You can never stop me from using the calming effect again.” He frowned at me but nodded his head and he took another step forward. I put my hand up stopping him. “I mean it, Rogan, you have to trust me too and trust when I am using it, I am trying to help you not make things harder on you.” “Okay, I will do my best to trust your instincts but can we
I had fallen asleep and was dosing naked on the bed when I woke up to noises coming from the bathroom and Rogan being gone. I looked around for something to put on quickly and saw Rogan’s suit jacket still on the floor. I slipped it on and took in a deep breath breathing in his smell it was completely enthralling to my wolf nose and I would recognize his smell anywhere forever more. The jacket was large on me due to his broad shoulders and defined body it went down past my butt and easily covered my front. I enjoyed wearing his clothes and told myself I needed to do more of this at least. I’d all but forgotten why I was reluctant at the moment to be here instead of alone in my room. I meant to go look in the bathroom but instead, I become enthralled with looking quietly around his room. There were pictures here and there of him and his friends. I told myself we needed to take more pictures to hang up if I was going to stay here and in general the entire room was neat. I lo
I woke up before her and she had turned so I could see her I slowly moved and watched as she dreamed. I could tell it was intense but then again from what she had shared about her dreams, I wasn’t surprised. I’d hope she was resting the way she needed to and now looked at her hand. I could not believe I had done that to her. The shame of realizing it and her even allowing herself to be in the same room was too much for me. I had to get out. I quietly slipped on some clothes and went down to the basement where the pack gym was. It was on the opposite side of the prison area and as I made it down the stairs I debated about taking out some of my energy on that rogue wolf and him trying to hurt Kellina too but the fact was when I thought about it he hadn’t even touched her and he could of. He could have hurt badly just like he had done to the guards that were stupid enough to let him prance around as if he wasn’t dangerous. My thoughts now as I was getting ready to open the gym door w
As I drifted off to sleep I found myself floating through the air up above the pack house, past my little cottage where Laura and Rollo were, and into the woods. I went right to the waterfall that had become so special to Rogan and me then finally landed on my feet feeling the bare leaves and twigs that lay on the ground below me. I walked towards the waterfall when a bright light from the moon shined down from below. I used my hand to cover my eyes and when I took it down behold there was my grandmother the red-haired beauty, my mother with her snow-white hair, and my father with his almost brown but that tint of reading standing before me. My excitement got the better of me and this time I ran directly into my father’s arms. Part of me knew it was a dream, but the fatherly love emersed me and I could have stayed there forever. I heard my grandmother and mother laugh at the joyous seen of us together. Finally letting go, “I am so happy I can see you again but I don’t understand w
“You're serious? You will let me talk to him and see what he knows?” I was in complete shock at Rogan’s words and had to make sure I wasn’t imagining things. “Yeah, we’ve worked it all out.” Rogan grinned proudly at me. “And when you see we? Do you mean Erin? Am I hearing this right?” I felt like I might still be dreaming and secretly dug my nails into my palm to see if I could feel it. I was almost more surprised to realize I felt the nails going into my skin. “Kel, you really are looking at me like I’m crazy but here’s the deal. Erin and I ran into each other at the gym. We talked and we both agree you might be able to get some answers from that red wolf that we can’t but we also want to ensure you’re safe. So here is the deal, if he makes a comment I don’t like I can’t guarantee I will keep my cool but I think Erin can because he is used to protecting you despite what he hears and sees, and to be clear that is the only way we will allow you to go in there.” I knew what th
