Crystal stood in front of the bunker that held the vulnerable members of the pack. Watching and listening to the battle that was taking place. She was well hidden, and she had been pleasantly surprised to see that Rook allowed the women in his pack to fight and defend themselves which was not the norm in most packs. The women who were able to fight had spread out and were hidden around the bunker, protecting the children and the women unable to defend themselves. Her green eyes flickered between green and gold as Aria made her presence known as she used her senses to help protect the innocent.
Despite the fear that filled her for her mate Crystal could not help wondering about how the rogues had found their way within pack lands without anyone knowing. She knew that Rook thought that that there was traitor within the pack and after looking at his view point she agreed.
As an outsider having only arrived at the pack recently Crystal could see that there we
Rook shifted and before anyone could react, he was already hugging his grandmother and checking if she was okay.“Crys,” he called out as Gianna folded into his arms. He was pushed aside as Lenard grabbed his mate. Rook looked at his mate who was still in her dragon form, the glitter in her eyes had him hastily moving to one side as dragon flame engulfed Gianna and Lenard. Howls of shock and anger echoed through the air, and it took Rooks roar and his full alpha power to prevent his pack from attacking Crystal. Even as he held his pack at bay, they all could hear soft laughter floating in the air. “I wonder what these wolves would have done in the war?” Gianna’s voice was faint but could be clearly heard by all the wolves around them.“Killed everything that moved and not thought twice,” Lenard answered.“True and therein is our greatest weakest. Kill before questioning.” As Crystal’s flames slowly cleared the entire pack could see Gianna and Lenard standing tall and unhurt, in fact,
“Honey wake up,” Rook spoke softly trying not to startle Crystal. She had been exhausted after using her power against the Dark Magic and once they had returned to the pack house had wanted a nap but the nap had continued well into the next day and Rooke was very anxious, but Alric kept warning him not to wake her up. Eventually Rook had sought out his grandmother as she helped repair the damage the attack had caused. She had reassured him that it was normal for Crystal to sleep to recover after using her magic more so when fighting against dark magic. She had made him realize that even though they were mates and had bonded, they really had not spent much time together. This was the first time that they had spent so much of time together. He had really tried to let her sleep and recover but his heart was uneasy, and he was getting more and more worried the longer she slept. Which had led to the current situation of him softly trying to wake her up. “Crystal, Crystal honey wake up, pl
The pounding music and flashing lights immediately made Crystal groan. Why the hell did these witches have to find themselves in the nearest were club she thought to herself. Now she had to go and collect the bounty and return the wayward witch to her coven.Don’t complain, Aria whispered in her head. You want this. We could be nice as safe with our mate and his pack instead of running and hiding and doing these ridiculous bounties.Oh hush, Aria, you know we have a duty to keep the balance and that comes above all else.Well its not fair!! And with a huff of defeat Aria fell silent.Sliding past the huge weres on duty at the entrance of the club she was stopped by a hand on her arm.“Sorry miss this is a closed club. Unless you are a member or a guest, I can’t let you.”The blonde haired bouncer was gentle yet firm in his words, even though he was covered in tattoos and dressed from head to toe in
“Rook!!!” The outrage scream from his mother startled Rook for a moment. “What the hell are you doing? You need a Luna and Alice is the best candidate that there is. How can you insult her like that…”Rook tuned out his mother’s tirade. He was getting tired of being pushed into the arms of possible Luna’s and it was the last straw when he found Alice naked in his bed. By now the entire pack was aware of his reaction and having her thrown out of his bed as well as throwing out the bed as well. He shuddered at the thought of her scent anywhere near him.The sudden silence brought his attention back to his parents who were glaring at him.“Listen to me very carefully, the only reason you both are still standing here and not in the dungeons for the stunt you pulled with Alice is because you are my parents! I have a mate and I will accept no one else.”His mother sputtered in anger and asked, “If you
“Move aside. Let me in,” Alice ordered.“No, Alpha has ordered no one enter.”“I’m your future Luna!”“No you are not!” Tomas replied from behind her. “Our Luna is currently inside with our Alpha.”“Beta Tomas, that’s a lie.” Alice growled. “Luna Lana, tell him. I’m Rooks mate and his future Luna.”Even before Rooks’s mother Luna Lana could speak, Alpha Mackenzie appeared.“Everyone listen,” he commanded in his Alpha voice. “Go home, we will have a pack meeting once Alpha Rook is free.”The pack quietly dispersed. Soft whispers reaching their ears.Beta Tomas says Alpha has brought his mate home.So it must be true. Beta Tomas will never lie.I wonder why Alice insists she’s the Luna when it’s obvious she’s not the Alpha’s mate…
The crackle of flames was the first sound that Crystal heard as she slowly regained consciousness. The next thing that caught her attention was the pair of strong arms around her and the scent of her mate. As she slowly opened her eyes, she could feel the heat of the fire and then she realized that she was laying on top of her mate. His slow deep breaths, told her that he was asleep, so she took this chance to look at him. It had been years since they had been this close. She gently ran her hand over his face, barely touching him as she memorized his face.Shifting slightly, she realized that he was topless and that all she was wearing was a shirt. And from the smell of it was his. They were both lying on a mattress in front of an open fireplace that was blazing away. Looking around she saw that they appeared to be in a rustic cabin.A hand gently rubbing her back brought her attention back to Rook. A slight smile played across his thin lips, and only a glimpse o
Crystal watched the road, anxiety growing as she saw members of the pack turn and wave as they recognized their Alpha’s car. They drove through the village and Rook proudly pointed out the hospital, schools creche and even a well-built mall with many shops. There was numerous shops and restaurants scattered around the town as well. Crystal realized that the pack was very prosperous to have all their needs met and everything that a human city had within their pack lands. They left the main residential area behind them and headed onto a road surrounded by trees. Crystal relaxed, the road gently curved and a mansion came into view. Se was too stunned to even gasp as the sight of the mansion. It was a multistory red bricked mansion with white columns and accents. Large windows reflected the light and trees that surrounded it. Beautiful flower beds filled with colorful flowers of different varieties surrounded the massive double front door. Tomas was standi
Crystal stopped to take in the sight of her mate standing in front of the windows bathed in sunlight. His naked torso drew her gaze and she felt warmth spread through her as she gazed at well-defined muscles of his chest, and she couldn’t help noticing that he had well defined eight abs. He only had on a pair of sweatpants on that hung low on his hips. The muscles on his back flexed and he shifted, and the move drew her eyes to his back and as her eyes travelled over the skin on display, she noticed that he had a tattoo on his right shoulder blade as well as a new tattoo on his right upper arm.The tribal tattoo on his upper arm caught her attention as she realized that it was Sanskrit lettering. Curious she silently walked over to him and felt him jump as she used a fingertip to trace the ancient words. She saw her name and his intertwined in flames. This close to him she finally saw the tattoo on his back and heard Aria’s rumble of joy as she recognized the drag
