I jolted up in bed and shivered. Looking down, I saw I was covered in my own cum. Rubbing my eyes, I fell back on the bed. When was the last time I had such an intense dream that I literally came over myself?'You were fourteen. The 9th grade and the substitute teacher Miss Halloway.'I growled. 'That was a rhetorical question, Naresh. I didn’t actually need to remember.'He snickered. 'Good dream though. You think our mate felt it as well?'Rolling my eyes, I got up and headed into the bathroom, turning the shower on. 'Probably not. He was probably fucking his Luna at that exact moment.'Naresh whined and immediately regretted it. It was mean and uncalled for. 'I’m sorry, Naresh. I’m still angry about it apparently.'He didn’t say anything as he retreated into the back of my mind. Sighing, I stepped into the shower and washed my body off. When I turned the water off, I could hear movement in the kitchen below. My mom must have been up already.Pulling on some boxers, sweats, and a sh
She signed at the screen: “I’ll connect with you later.”“Alright! Have fun! Nice to see you, Vale!” Immediately, she cut off the call before I could even reply.“Mom?”'So the day after you called me, the High Council called and asked for me to do a mission. You didn’t tell me anything so how was I supposed to know?'“You can’t do that mission! That group is dangerous. It’s more than just one or two wolves. It’s a pack, able to give grief to an entire other pack. You think you can just waltz in there and fix everything?” My voice was serious but I was pissed that she agreed to the mission.'Sometimes I wonder if you know what I really do. I kill people, Vale. No matter the race, about 90% of my jobs are to kill people. I know what the mission was. I get briefed on it before I agree to it. Plus, I’m not going alone this time. I have a crew.'Shaking my head, I got up and started to pace. “Mom, you cannot be serious right now.”She sighed. Getting off the stool, Mom placed her mug in t
I looked around at the giggling werewolves I called my family. My eyes were wide as I looked at all of them. It was hard trying to keep a straight face as I pictured a chubby wolf bounding through the forest. Squeezing my eyes shut, I struggled and finally succumbed to the laughter. Naresh was already roaring in my head and I joined him.“How much weight have they all gained?”Hector cleared his throat. “Some…more than others.”“Alpha Týr is absolutely the worst. His beta is a close second.” Lucy’s nose wrinkled and I watched as Bryan put a protective arm around his daughter.“Then Logan is probably third with the rest following in varying degrees of severity.” Bryan added, smirking. “It helps he wasn’t at the pack house full time until the last few weeks.”Shaking my head, I gulped in some air. “But you can’t be putting that much in.”“Until you see the portions that they eat.” Hector giggled.'That was added in by your Grandpa. It hightens their appetite as well. So the normal werew
Hector drove through the city and dropped off Bryan, with Lucy, at a small home just on the outskirts of Kirk. He turned around and headed back into the city, south toward the pack house. I moved to the front seat as soon as Bryan had gotten out. It was a quiet ride until we got closer to the pack house.“Vale, you need to remember. You aren’t just your mother’s son. You are also the Alpha King and by extension, the High Council.”“Can’t I just be a son? Worried about what the hell is going on in my family?” I looked over at him but his face was hard.He shook his head. “No, you can’t. Not here. With your mom, with us, you can. But the moment you step outside of this car or her house, every action you take is as the Alpha King. More eyes are on you than you know.”“Hector, come on. I just want to talk to Dad and Týr.”We pulled up and Hector parked the Jeep. “Your Dad and Týr aren’t an exception. Speak to them as Alpha’s because that’s who they have decided to be.”“But I’m the Alpha
I could see the anger rise through his face as he clenched his fists on the desk. Our eyes locked as I leaned against the desk. Shaking my head, I tore my eyes away and paced back into the office.“Fix it, Dad.”“She’s been a rogue before, Vale. Auri will be fine.”I stopped and looked at him. “And fine is good enough for you? For your mate?”“Vale, stop. Let it go. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re spending time with your mom. But you shouldn’t be on territory without permission.”Barking out a laugh, I crossed my arms over my chest. “I don’t need permission to cross the territory.”“You do. When you come into an Alpha’s territory…”Naresh stepped forward before I could stop him. “They should be so grateful that their Alpha King has decided to grace them with our presence. We need no permission. All packs, are our packs. While you may not have come to that conclusion during your reign, we know our place. It’s time you learned yours.”Dad stood up and I laughed. I was lucky that N
The next couple of weeks, I threw myself into training with my mom. She meal prepped all our food, even including two extra portions for Bryan or Hector when they would come by. Hector came around more, both helping me train as well as training with Mom. He said it was good to get your ass kicked because it reminded you there were still things you needed to work on. For Mom, that was Grandpa. She could beat him, but not every time.My Dad and Týr still hadn’t been by to see us. At first, I was annoyed when they didn’t show up the first week but my mom wasn’t bothered by it or at least didn’t let it show. So, I let it go. Days became a routine. Get up early, have breakfast, help in the garden, tea, training, lunch, more training, dinner and then reading or talking with Mom about different issues with the High Council.Today though, I had landed my first hit on her. It had taken seventeen days but I finally was able to hit her shoulder. Of course, she wasn’t at one hundred percent but I
Date: Lunar Phase, Full MoonTime: NightI am writing this by the moons light. After the chaos of the vampires, it has been eight cycles. To set the record straight, I did not lose the journal this time. In fact, multiple times I sat with it open. It pained me though, to continuously writing the corruption that has woven its way into our way of life. I had never thought humans would corrupt our traditions so fully as they started to expand through the world.Yet here I was, wolves being slaves to one another. Mates turning their backs. Greed and entitlement taking over. It pains me and I do not know if I have taken on an impossible task.Word has spread that the Alpha King has been on a campaign to take over packs now and so my group has decided to lay low for the time being. We chose to stay within one of the founding packs, the Silver Sun. They have been warm and welcoming. For the first time since starting this journey, we have a pack who has sided with tradition rather than the gr
“I’m checking in. What else would I be doing, Vale?”I crossed my arms over my chest. “At this time of night? Sleeping, actually. Or you know, you could have checked in weeks ago.”“I was busy. Auri, do you mind if I get something to eat? I’m starving.”Snorting, I rolled my eyes. “You don’t need to eat anything else.”My mom came over and elbowed me. She started to sign but my dad turned his back and disappeared into the kitchen. Her hands fell to her side and I heard her sigh. Kissing her head, I nodded up the stairs.“Go to bed. I’ll make sure he doesn’t eat the sink while he is in there.”She smiled and kissed me on the cheek. 'Goodnight, Vale. Don’t get into a fight with him, please.''I promise. Go.'“Auri, do you have tea made?”I shook my head and headed into the kitchen.“Auri…oh, Vale, where is your mom?”Pulling out the cold container of tea, I grabbed two glasses and poured him one. I poured one for myself and sat down at the kitchen island. “She went to bed.”“What do you
