â--When the only thing you've known your entire life is war, what would you do if someone offered you peace? Would you grab it with both hands, or back away, trembling and uncertain?Ghost, Descry Harken, Panzer and Armata are known as Pente - Alpha Nikolaos' elite group of Gammas. They've only ever known violence; born in blood and bred to be weapons - until the Brides.From the 8th of May, follow their stories as they learn to accept not only the brides chosen for them by their Alpha, but also to accept themselves. Updated Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.â--GiannaI was never one for fairy tales or love at first sight. My father is an Alpha who comes from a long line of dictators, so I never set my sights on a happily ever after. But when he told me he was using me to barter an accord with Alpha Nikolaos, I didnât know what to expect.Who is this man heâs giving me to, and more importantly, will I survive to see another solstice?I knew from the moment Divan set his eyes on me, w

Ghost/DivanI grew up with the scent of death and neglect around me and I grew up knowing I was never loved or wanted by both of my parents. When I would see other parents with their kids and how they were treated, it always left me wondering why mine were so different.Why did they hate me so much? What am I doing wrong?I tried to shrink myself so they wouldnât notice I was there; be a ghost while they bathed in violence. But then my siblings came along and I could no longer do that. I had to be the parent and protect themâŚuntil the day my father snapped.How long did I lay in that house, covered in the blood of my siblings while knowing they were dead? How long did I wish to die along with them, to be gone from here and finally feel⌠free?Thereâs one scene I relive every night when I fall asleep; my father slitting their throats and forcing me to watch so I knew what was coming. The only problem is by the time he got to me, he was weakened from the drugs.The knife didnât go deep.

GiannaThe delicious aroma of roasted meat and vegetables fills the kitchen and I breathe in a long, content sigh. Today has been a pleasant day for me; I took a long walk around the pack forest alone and just allowed myself to appreciate the view.Divan woke up before I did and snuck out of my bedroom before I even woke up this morning. There was a slight tinge of anxiety in his scent, which made me realize he never intended on sleeping in my bed last night.I know I shouldnât feel disappointed since weâve gone months without speaking, but I canât help it. Living here for months and living with someone who doesnât even acknowledge you⌠it gets difficult. I try to be strong and advise the other women to give the men time, but Iâm falling apart without anyone noticing. Shaking my head, I grab my glass of wine from the counter, take a sip and slip on some oven mitts to remove the roasting dish. I decided on a bit of comfort food today, and the carbs are just what I need. I can always

GiannaSpending time with Divan last night felt like we broke the ice. After dessert, we spoke about unimportant things before he abruptly said goodnight. I have a feeling he started getting uncomfortable with being close to me, so he ran away.Itâs sort of odd to know or to think that, Divan is the leader of this powerful group of infamous Gammas, and yet he might be scared of getting to know me better. I probably shouldnât read too much into it. Itâs not like I know him that well, anyway.Sighing, I lace up my running shoes and get to my feet. I donât exercise much, but I do run to clear my mind. My wolf is a timid âladyâ who loves fighting and hates sprinting with me, so Iâve taken it upon myself to keep fit this way.After doing my warm-ups and stretches, I take a breath and start my run. This always used to help me think clearly in the past, so Iâm hoping it has the same effect on me now. I set off at a comfortable pace, not allowing my mind to drift to anything, but the more I t

Ghost/DivanHasretim. I was so wrapped up in Gianna and being close to her, that my true feelings came through without thinking. Thank fuck she doesnât speak Turkish, or she would immediately have seen through me.I tried to keep my feelings neutral, tried to just clean her wounds and help her but how could I have predicted this? The softness of her skin, listening to her heartbeat, her sweet scent, and how she responded to my touchâŚGianna is supposed to be afraid of me, not willingly offering herself up to be ruined.Running out the back, I sprint towards the back of the forest to clear my mind again, but for some reason, I find myself at the back of the main pack house. I suddenly see my wolf raising his head and nodding before he disappears again.I canât even ask him why heâs brought me here because he wonât hear me, but as Iâm about to leave again, I spot Luna Mia passing the upstairs window where I know the Alphaâs office is. Gritting my teeth, I know now why my wolf brought m

GiannaI havenât been able to sleep.Divan kissed me, he really kissed me and then left again while I stood with my heart in my throat and wondered what the hell just happened. Everything about our conversation felt so intense, the way we were finally letting out our truths and how I saw right through his lie.I draw my hand to my mouth and a small smile tugs at my lips as I remember the kiss. The feeling of his hands in my hair, the way it felt like he claimed me with a kiss aloneâŚmy entire body was on fire just from that one kiss.What will happen when we see each other tomorrow? Will we both be too awkward to speak about it? Knowing Divan, heâll probably avoid it and run away from getting too close again, but I donât want to be the one to do it, either.It needs to be addressed; I want to know where we stand.As I think this, the unmistakable sound of groaning echoes through the silent house and it sends a shiver up my spine. I sit up in bed, straining my ears, and dread seeps into

Ghost / DivanSheâs looking up at me expectantly, waiting for me to say or do something when I never prepared myself for taking things this far. Giannaâs scent in my bed, the way she helped me through one of the worst night terrors Iâve had in a long time; it made me lose all reason.Now Iâm on top of her, inside of her with the taste of her blood like honey on my tongue.âDivan?â she says in a breathless voice and reaches out to touch my face. âAre you okay?âI lay my head on her chest and breathe out a sigh, trying to get my thoughts together without hurting her feelings. Iâve come this far. Thereâs no way I can turn back now⌠it wouldnât be fair on her.âIâm just⌠overwhelmed right now,â I admit, breathing out a long sigh and then looking back up at her. âI just need a moment.âShe nods, because why wouldnât she? Gianna is the most gentle person I know; even if she were hurting, sheâd never show it. I rest my forehead against hers while allowing her heartbeat to anchor me.I can fe

GiannaEden looks at Divan and me with wide eyes as she opens her front door. âHey! What are you two doing here?â she exclaims, and I can see the questions in her eyes. Sheâs going to want the full play-by-play and every little dirty detail, even if itâs mortifying for me. I hold up the plastic container of cookies. âI made too much of this and thought you might like them,â I say, and the way her face lights up at the mention of food makes me nearly laugh out loud.âI donât know whether to feel offended or happy,â she says with a giggle, then she holds the door open for me. âWould you two like to come in for a cup ofâââGianna,â Divan suddenly says, interrupting her, and I turn to look at him. âI apologize, both of you, but I need to go. Alpha Nikolaos asked me to meet him at the pack house immediately.âA shiver runs up my spine when I notice the warmth has left his eyes; this must be serious.âOf course, I understand,â I say and touch his upper arm lightly. âIâll see you at home.â
