This book is authored by Ariel Eyre. "She is deaf." "What, she can't be deaf. I have never heard of a deaf wolf. It is impossible." "I am serious. She had an accident when she was six. She didn't have her wolf then, and it couldn't heal, resulting in hearing loss." She smiled. Her smile could have knocked me over. It was something I would want to see as often as I could. "Can you hear me?" She just shook her head. How on earth would I communicate with her if she couldn't talk? If I marked her, I could mind-link. I could mark her here and now. It is my right, after all. But she may not like that. I had to wonder if her being deaf, though, would be okay. If I marked her, she would be Luna to my pack. She would need to be strong. I had no idea if losing her hearing made her weak. As much as I wanted to claim her on the spot, I would need to know that she could hold her own. Or, at the very least, could be taught to fight. --------- When I pressured my brother to take me down to the southern territory I just wanted to experience the way the rest of the world lived. Growing up in the north is brutal and we survive off the land. But I never expected to meet my mate and from a southern pack made it all the more difficult. His values differed from my own. The way his pack lived was the opposite of how I was raised. The brutality of my life would lead me to make decisions that put the Shadow Pack in jeopardy.
View MoreCadeI woke up, and Kaya was not next to me. I mind-linked her, and she didn't respond. I began to freak out. I mind-linked Robert, who had yet to respond. He was probably asleep. I jumped out of bed and rushed out of the room. I would sniff her out and hope I could find her. I didn't know if someone took her. I followed her scent and was happy when it didn't lead out of the front door. I continued to follow it. I found her in the living room. She was curled up on the couch. Kimi on the other side. She must have felt my presence because she slowly opened her eyes. She mind-linked me. "Cade." I wanted to yell at her for making me think she was in some mortal danger. I mean, with everything that had happened, she should have known I would have worried when I woke up, and she was not there. But, looking at her so peacefully, I couldn't get mad. "Good morning, Merry Christmas." She read my lips. "Merry Christmas; I am sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep down here." "I didn't li
Kaya Cade looked at me as we lay in bed. Neither of us wanted to be physical. "How did you like the movies?" He mind linked me. "They were funny, though. I didn't really get the opulence of the whole thing." He smirked. "So now that we can talk, you said you wanted to talk about the goddess and her blessing." Cade looked at me, reached over, and began to stroke my hair. "It was amazing; when I fought off Jack and his men, I felt stronger than I normally do, and I think the fact you were able to resist everything was because you, too, were stronger." his mind linked me. I sat there looking at him. He was right. The blessing they made us stronger. The Goddess had to be looking over me. It could have been so much worse than what had happened. Cade mind-linked me. "The whole pack felt they were stronger. They told me as much." I just nodded. "Oh, and I wanted to tell you everyone in the pack wants to get a tattoo." "Really?" "Yeah, the kids who are twelve are even getting them
Cade I took Kaya downstairs. I had the tree already set up. Mark and Helen were there, as were Kimi and Robert. Saka and Len decided to spend the holiday with their new mate's family. That, however, did not stop them from coming by every day to check on their friend. They had been here this afternoon to check and see if she had woken up. I would need to mind-link them and tell them what was going on. I also called Nieva, who was so distraught over the news that I could hear her crying into the phone. I knew Kaya herself was upset. I knew she would try to shove it down, but the news of what could have happened distressed her. She most likely was pregnant now, and we would find out in a few days, but she would most likely never have more children. We would probably only ever have one. It was a hard blow. I wanted Kaya to carry my child, but I was never desperate to resort to using a fertility drug.I knew the consequences of something like that. Now, she and I would both suffer for it
Kaya I woke up in our bed. Everything that happened earlier this morning coming back to me. There was no light shining through the window. Was it night already. What time was it? How long had I been asleep? "Cade," I mind-linked. "You are awake?" "Yeah, what time is it? Where are you." "Just stay in bed. I will bring you some food, and then we can talk, okay." "That is fine." I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I wanted to brush my teeth and wash my face. I changed into some comfy leggings and one of Cade's shirts. To cover my toes, I put on a pair of fuzzy socks. I was comfy.My hair looked like a rat's nest, so I brushed it out and returned to the bed. I looked at the few quilts I had made. They looked good in here. I stood making the bed. I folded and draped two quilts across the bed's bottom. I fluffed the pillows and then went to sit on the couch we had in the room. I looked at the fireplace that had no fire going. I felt when Cade come into the room and turned
KayaI stumbled into the packhouse. I was definitely drunk. I knew a bathroom was on the first floor; I just had to find it. I stumbled through the empty house. Everyone was outside. I finally made it to the bathroom and did what I had to do. I looked at myself in the mirror. My cheeks were red from the cold, but I was so warm. I nearly tripped when I came out of the room. Suddenly, I saw a few men. I mind-linked them but got nothing in return. These were not from shadow pack these had to be Jacks men his warriors. What were they doing here? One charged me with something in his hand. I moved to slowly and something rammed into my arm. It stung when it pierced my skin. The men pulled back what were they doing. Then I felt it. Suddenly, I was burning up. My skin felt like it was on fire. I saw the man's mouth moving I tried to focus on the movement to see what he was saying. "feeling hot little Luna." I didn't know what was going on. "Yeah, the drug works fast." Drug, wh
Cade Kaya and her friends were all sitting around the massive fire they had built. It was as big as the one they always kept burning when they lived in the North. I was next to my mate as we listened to Saka tell the story of his first hunt. He was signing as he talked so Kaya could know what he was saying. "Then I came upon a group of reindeer; I had to do the formation we used to hunt when there is a herd all by myself. It was a long chase with no one to corner the creature." I looked around at my pack, which was engrossed in his story. Everyone who was here was in high spirits. Those from the North were still drinking and far too gone. Half the things Len and Kimi said were in their native language. My pack was no better. They were just as drunk. The little kids were all in bed, so the only ones up were the ones who could drink. Kaya had practically tried to drown me in alcohol, and I was just as drunk as the rest of them. I knew I should worry about everyone in t
Kaya When I brought my group into the woods, I looked at them and mind-linked them. "Okay, I know you all want to hunt, but unlike the other groups' hunting, you have me, so the question is, what do you want to hunt?" I mainly had younger wolves. Ones I taught at the high school. "How about a bear, Luna? You have killed those before." "Bears are hibernating right now. We can't get one of those." "I want to get something huge." I internally smiled. "Let's get a moose or a mountain lion." "Let me see what I can smell. It may take a while, but we will get one of those." The wolves began to prance in anticipation. I put my snout in the air and inhaled. I smelt elk, but we didn't want that. "We will go for a run until I find the scent we need." I mind-linked. We took off, and Kimi mind linked with me. "What was that all about?" "I asked what they wanted to hunt." "What did they say?" "Moose or mountain lion." "Let's get a moose. We have enough wolves to take one down safely." "
CadeEveryone was in high spirits. The drinking had already started and Kaya and her friends where bottomless pits. I didn't know how they drank so much. Kaya mind linked me. "We should announce the tattoos then they can talk about it ask questions and then we can do the hunt." We had talked about days prior how to talk to the pack about the pack tattoo. Then I thought about Kaya hunting. She was fairly drunk already how did she plan on hunting. I had never seen anyone shift who had alcohol in their systems. I looked at the pack and most people where feeling the effects and I wondered how that would all work. Kaya wanted me to talk through most of the days activities because she could only mind link and sign and she wanted people to actual hear the schedule. I stood up and spoke, getting everyone's attention. With there eyes all on me I began. "Shadow Pack, I am happy you are all enjoying yourself. Now I would like to talk to you about something.As you know, Kaya and h
Kaya The snow had stopped coming down, and I was ecstatic. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the closet to throw on clothes and my boots. Cade mind linked me as I was brushing my teeth. "What is the rush?" "It is winter, solstice. There is so much to do." I peeked out of the bathroom to see Cade still lying there. He had moved the pillow to cover his face. "Take your time this morning. I have much to do with Helen, Kimi, Saka, Len, and Robert. Don't open your gift yet. That is later." I ran to him and gave him a kiss on the forehead. His arms reached out, wrapped around me, and pulled me to the bed. "Stay in bed. It is a holiday; we have nothing scheduled." He mind linked. I tried to pull away, but he had me in a vise. "Cade, you have nothing to do but enjoy the day, but I have stuff to do. Now let me go, or you will not like how I get out of this bed." I mind-linked him. He pulled me tighter to him, bringing his face into the crook of my neck. "Cade, let me go." I mind-l
