He kept pounding on the door I was certain it was going to start a commotion outside. The last thing I wanted was to bring more attention to myself so I realized I had to open to door. I was terrified and worried he’d see my T-Shirt and boxers I was still wearing and realize that it was Erin’s. I cracked the door open and cracked my head open. “Hey, what's up?” “Kel, I want to talk please.” Corgan’s dark eyes sparkled as he talked and I was drawn in just for the sheer way they looked like Rogan’s. “I’m a bit busy at the moment and could use the space.” I tried to get him to leave quickly. “Are you kidding me we haven’t all given you enough space already?” I felt a ping in my gut realizing how awful I’d been to every one. I hadn’t ever considered Corgan’s feelings about losing his brother and now his parents were throwing a lot more on both of us than I think he or I ever wanted. “I’m sick of waiting for you to be ready to talk and after you took off last night it's not fair
I’d planned it for over a week now and tonight would be the night. We would wait till after the darkness fell all over the countryside and then we would stealthy using only three of my best wolves invade the furthest area for feed and weapons that the Mystic Moon kept. It would require us to travel for over 15 miles past the safety of the mountain but would also be the best way for us to have hope of survival allowing us to get food that could help the pack that was secretly starving without saying a word. Athena had that effect on them able to control their emotions but I couldn’t stand how they were so willing to obey her rules they weren’t even noticing that it was days in between a single meal now. We couldn’t go on much longer like this but still if Athena knew what I was doing she would never allow me to go. I had the realization that perhaps my mate was controlling my emotions just as much as she was controlling everyone else’s. I shook the thought out of my head as I tr
It felt like I’d been in the same position for days and I felt weak again like how I used to when I lived with the Red Crimson Pack. I didn’t really consider them my pack anymore and I hated that feeling of hunger and weakness because it just brought back old memories. Athena flashed before my eyes I swore for a moment I heard her witchy laughter it caused my eyes to pop open and I was suddenly aware of the smell of cleanliness and fresh lines wrapped around me then I smelled the most glorious smell of all the smell of fresh strawberries and sweetness mixed together. I smelled my mate. I looked around to see her bustling around the small room, the hospital, right why the fuck was I in a bed in a hospital? I was so distracted by her small angelic body and beautiful blonde hair similar to that of Kellina’s but smoother and done up in a tight bun. I wanted to undo that bun so badly and let her waves of hair fall down her back, her naked back. Yes, that was it I wanted to see what w
Sophia yells “He’s awake! He’s awake please come!” Filled the basement and up to the stairs where Corgan and I were now coming down. He wasn’t going to let me out of his sight until we’d talked which felt excruciating so I was going to drag it out as long as possible. Although hearing Sophia's words with the joy in them told me one thing my friend Gorm had to be awake. I flew down the stairs and into the clinic where Sophia smiled outside the door gleaming from ear to ear. It had to be Gorm and she was ecstatic as any true mate would be knowing that the one that was bonded to them by the moon goddess would live and they could finally be together. I felt the smallest sting of jealousy in my heart but ran to her hugging her with as much joy as I had to give to two of the kindest hearts I knew. I knew that Gorm and Sophia’s ride would not be as easy as I’d hoped but I also knew somehow it would work out for them. I would fight tooth and nail for both of them to allow them to be tog
I paced back and forth nervously occasionally trying to adjust or reorganize anything. We had a fairly quiet morning at the clinic anyways because the physician had completed most of his visits early in the morning and the rest of our new CNAs were able to handle him. I really should be working on charting and checking the other few patients we had that remained like the red wolf who lay quietly alone as he always did. I felt a tinge of guilt as I should be a better nurse to him and cared for him as he deserved but I just couldn’t bring myself to know that he had been the cause of so much pain to my mate. My mate! I could not believe the words I heard in my head. I saw Laura approaching and tried to look busy I wasn’t sure what to say as I waited to see why my mate was in with the Alpha and what could possibly be taking so long that I could not check on him. “Sophia you do not look well,” Laura stated as she gently put her arm on my shoulder. “I’m sure he is alright and i
I waited for her to walk in the door and as soon as she did I was completely memorized once again. Her pale skin was so beautiful with her beautiful white snow hair pinned so tightly up her head. I couldn’t help but think how beautiful that hair would be down with my hands flowing through it. Again my erection tried to rise and I bunched up my blanket to pretend I was getting more comfortable. Her crystal blues took me in I imagined I didn’t look very good at the moment. I’d been out for close to a week and I felt my chin full of stubbles of red. I generally kept myself tidier and I was disappointed she was seeing me this way. Then those beautiful crystal eyes of hers looked over at me. Her face was more plump and full of life than my friend Kellina’s and although some of their generic features were the same, this woman was far more beautiful than any other woman I’d ever seen. I did my best to take her in wearing her light blue button-up dress with a white surgical apron on top. She c
I finished patrol early and so far all was quiet in the pack which was a good thing but also made me uneasy. With the recent sighting of the red crescent pack members, I was sure there would be some kind of retaliation because for all they knew we had killed three of their pack and that didn’t come without consequences typically for any pack. Although I was never sure what would be up the sleeve of the leader of that pack because if you would at the mating ceremony of my beloved adopted daughter Kellina and the future alpha there have been an attack. I would have told anyone who would listen to you were crazy. I kicked my ass daily for not seeing that coming and now watching the destruction of Kellina in every which way was harder than losing my wife and daughter long ago. I tried to put the thought to the side as I approached the clinic doors. I was there for three reasons one to welcome Gorm back to the living and see for myself he was okay. Second check on the red wolf that re
We shuffled out quickly out of the clinic and I walked quickly desperatley trying to get to Sarah’s quickly so that there wasn’t much time for Corgan and me to talk. I hated going through all the emotions and did everyhting possible after Rogan left to avoid all of these things at all cost. I already knew Corgan was blunt honest and direct just like Rogan and right now im my life these were things I wanted to avoid. “Kellina if we walk any faster we might as well be running.” I ignored his statement and kept on the same pace out the walls of the Pack house and into the beautiful green of our pack land. The roads weren’t always what most used around here and because of that the Alpha and Luna had decided to start putitng in walking paths to just aobut eveywhere. The inner part of the town as you would call it was about a mile away from the pack house but was becoming more and more its own inner city full of shops, grocery store, gas stations. All the normal things you wo
