I only sat with Stienn for another 15 minutes before I left to make it back to the house. I checked in with Gram and Gigi before making my way up to my room. I was hoping that I could get in a moment with Blaze before craziness ensued with the informal dinner tonight. Tomorrow night was the big feast to welcome the Alpha and his wolves to our pack. “Well damn, don’t you look amazing.” Blaze spoke as he stepped out of the bathroom, fresh from a shower and his black pants resting low on his hips. I smiled at him and walked toward him, placing my hands on his chest and giving him a small smile. “Hey, handsome. Going to join us for dinner?” I ask as I give him a kiss. “Of course. I want to see what this Alpha is all about.” I smiled and bit my lip with a small frown. “Speaking about the Alpha…I met his son, Stienn. My wolf…she had an intense reaction to him. Like she wants him to be a mate. His wolf also had the same reaction to me…I didn’t ask for it to happen, certainly wasn’t sea
“Well son, let’s demonstrate our manners and sit down to enjoy this delicious smelling meal. It smells exquisite, ma'am.” Einar said as he nudged his son's arm before moving farther into the room and taking Grams's hand, placing a soft kiss on the back of her hand. Gram smiled and waved his charms away before gesturing to the table and asking everyone to sit and get comfortable. It was a tight fit with Alaric and his family, Gram, Gigi, Laris, myself and Blaze along with Einar and Stienn. The kitchen dining room wasn’t the biggest but we made it work as well all shuffled and sat down to eat. I sat down at the table between Blaze and Stienn and could feel the testosterone flowing off both of them as they sized each other up. Blaze said he expected it and was fine with it, but that didn't mean he was going to sit back and not try to challenge the situation. I let out a small huff as I finished buttoning my shirt up and tucked it into my pants. I glared across the table at Sterling
I glanced at the phone in my hand, taking a deep breath before I got comfortable in bed and dialled Kane’s number, holding the phone to my ear. I chewed on my thumbnail while it rang, the nervous flutters in my stomach at an all-time high. Despite how nervous I was, it was still a relief to hear his voice when He answered. “My love, it’s good to hear from you. I miss you.” His voice was a deep rumble over the line that instantly brought a smile to my face. Gods did I miss him. “I miss you too, Kane. So much.” I admitted as I lay on my side, facing the window and its chilly night breeze. “How was the meeting with the Alpha from Norway? What’s he like?” He asked curiously, in the background I could hear the closing of the door and the rustling of fabric as he put me on speaker and got undressed. “It was good. He is not at all what I was expecting. A very big man but super informal, very friendly and open so far. I like him and definitely would like to foster really good friendshi
I woke up the next morning feeling better about the situation with Stienn. It was a relief to know that Kane, Magnus and Blaze were ok with the situation. What made the situation still a struggle was the fact that I could not reach Brodryn and Cadmus. And this was not a majority rules kind of situation. I sat up and pulled on some black leggings and a pale lavender big chunky knit sweater along with a pair of brown ankle boots. I make my way down stairs and head straight to the coffee maker and make myself a large cup, sighing happily as I sip the warm liquid. I move around the kitchen, gathering some eggs and bacon to make myself some breakfast. It was still early so I knew Gram wasn’t up yet and I was more than capable of making breakfast. I didn’t want to bother her for something like this. I wasn’t used to being up this early but I felt well rested and ready to face the day. As I was cooking I heard the door open and close as steps came in the direction of the kitchen. I turned
“I don’t understand why they are so different…” I sighed as I looked down at the maps in front of me. One was old and hand drawn on a large roll of paper, yellow with age. The other was new and laminated. Both showed the boundaries of the Ravenfield pack. They should have been identical, but they were not. “It doesn’t make sense. It’s like the pack is a third the size of what it should be.” Einar stated as he frowned down at the new map. I couldn’t take my eyes off the hand drawn one. It was old and painstakingly drawn and cared for. The detail on it was incredible, but it still didn’t seem real. A lot of the locations and boundaries were not something we had in this pack. I huffed out an annoyed breath and ran my hand through my hair. “You said there are letters to go with this map?” I asked curiously, hoping that those letters would shed some insight on this whole situation. “Yes there is. A whole stack of them from your first Alpha and his sons. A few years after the Alpha’s elde
The wind was raging and the frigid air had me shivering in two seconds flat. The air was so lost that the ice-like snow that blew around me felt like it was cutting my skin, leaving open wounds that froze instantly. As much as I enjoyed winter, I was beginning to hate this dream landscape. I wrapped my arms around myself and moved through the snow. The only silver lining was that at least this time I was fully clothed and it offered slightly more warmth than the sleep clothes did. I saw the entrance of the cave up ahead and made my way inside, stomping off the snow as I made my way farther into the warmth and away from the wind. “Well well, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, Feilan?” He asked with a smirk as he turned from the fire to face me. The light in the cave was a little dimmer than previously, the fire smaller and the area felt much more intimate than I was comfortable with. And of course, he was naked. “Put some pants on.” I growled out in frustration and picked up
I woke with a start and sat up, rubbing a hand over my face and sighing as I moved till my feet were on the floor. My heart pounded and my breathing was ragged, the feeling of his lips against my own still there and making me feel lightheaded. I stood and went to my desk, shaking my head as I reached for my water bottle and took a large sip, hoping the cool liquid would help to clear my head. There was a small knock on the door and it opened showing Echo standing in the doorway looking exhausted and stressed. “Wow. You look like I feel. Who pissed in your cornflakes?” I asked as I motioned to the couch and went and sat beside him. He snorted and sat down heavily, resting his head on the back of the couch and closing his eyes. “What’s the matter?” “I’m just exhausted. I don’t know what to do about Ellis. I’m not a mean guy. I don’t want to hurt her. I just…I’m not sure what to do Kara. I need some advice.” He sighed and turned to look at me, his silver/grey eyes sad and tired. I sighe
I walked around the clearing and talked with the pack, playing with the little ones, racing with them, and drinking food and drink with others. It was an amazing night and everyone was having a great time, with nothing but laughter and happiness in the air. It gave me such a feeling of pride to see my pack so happy. Made me think that I was actually doing something right. I t and drank some mead with Echo, Lindy, and Ezra, all while Echo looked longingly at Ellis. It was hard to watch but I was hoping they’d work it out eventually. I stood and made my way to the food table, picking up a few sweets before I moved and grabbed a glass of mead. I stood sipping it and smiling at everyone, happy to stand back and watch everyone interact. Happy to see that the wolves from Norway were seeming to fit in really well. I ate the desserts and watched as people mingled before I wandered over to my koi pond and stood looking down at the fish. If it got much colder we’d have to move the fish into a s
