There was a knock on the door and I opened it to find Ryn standing there. We hadn’t seen each other much since he accepted the General position the day after the waterfall. He was now busy learning the ropes officially from his father as he would take over in a year the same time as Quai and had a lot of catching up to do.
“Hey! They really rely on you to do everything with me like you’re still my guardian, don’t they?” I joked but he only smiled.
“I am your guardian, I always will be.” he told me softly.
“Well, I guess technically thats true, as the general of the army you’re all of our guardian in a way.”
He didn’t respond only held out his elbow for me to take. He was wearing a navy blue dress shirt with it rolled up to his elbows, black jeans, dress shoes, and his jet black hair was shorter like he had buzzed it since the last time

{ Ryn }Seeing her in that pink dress was physically painful as her hand settled comfortably into the crook of my elbow and she relaxed at our touch. I felt my own heart rate subside as she drew closer to me on instinct and the corners of my mouth turned up.My anxiety was through the roof at the prospect of what the night might hold. For her. For us. I’d felt a draw toward her ever since I turned 18. I can’t stop thinking about her. She is practically my reason for getting out of bed. Protecting her is all that matters and watching Syn hurt her brought all of the feelings I’d been suppressing come up full force. He wasn’t her destined mate after all. She was a royal, she absolutely had a mate. Which meant she had another. And I had an inkling, I wasn’t just drawn to her because we were good friends.We walked arm in arm through the party as if we belonged together. I shot glares at any men

When I woke up the next day it was pouring rain. I put together my bag and loaded it up in the sedan that Catalina had waiting for us. We said goodbye to her parents and then set off. We had a long drive at first so we settled into a rhythm as we drove of chatting and snacking. It was late afternoon before we came to the borders of the second most southern pack. We needed to cross their territory before we made it to our destination. We stopped at the border as patrols came up. As soon as they came and scented Catalina they dropped to a knee and allowed us to pass. We were both starving so Catalina had called ahead and asked if we could join the pack for dinner. The Alpha had accepted, and we were almost to the packhouse now. We both got out of the car and stretched as we had been in there all day. I glanced around, taking in the packs’ lands. This area was absolutely gorgeous. It sat deep in the woods with rolling hills and farm lands a

{ Olina } I was still processing the sparks that erupted on my chin from his touch when suddenly his lips were on mine. He moved his lips against mine and I couldn’t stop the moan that escaped my mouth. My hands found their way up to his neck and I wrapped myself around him, pushing my chest into his. I deepened the kiss and he growled appreciatively as he plunged his hands into my hair and kisses me harder. The kiss was passionate, needy and I couldn’t get enough of it. I pushed into him, wanting to feel every bit of his body against mine. He responded by putting his hands on my hips and gently moving me back a few steps until I felt my back hit a tree. He hooked his hands under my thighs and lifted me so that we were the same level, he being a good 10 inches taller than me. My hands moved to touch him, anywhere and everywhere I could. I couldn’t stop all the thoughts that came crashing in of everytime over the years I’d realized how go

The sun beamed in through the window the next morning, hitting my square in the eyes and I couldn’t stop the irritated groan that left my throat as I threw my arm over my eyes. “Don’t be mad at the sun, love.” A small smile covers my face as all the events of last night pour into my mind when I hear his voice. I pull my arm off and look over to see him laying on his side, his head propped up on his elbow looking at me. “I don’t blame the sunshine. I blame someone else, who didn’t let me get a wink of sleep,” I teased and he raised his eyebrows before reaching over and pulling me into his chest. “Ohhh really,” he says in an equally teasing voice as his mouth finds my neck and he kisses my mark. “Because I seem to remember someone -else- being the one who started rounds 3 and 4.” I moaned as he sucked on my mark. “I don’t know what you are tal

“Whats wrong?” Ryn asks, sensing my emotions as we take off and start rising into the sky. “Do you think everyone will be happy for us?” I ask him, searching his face for honesty like I always do. “No. Honestly I think everyone will probably shun us,” he tells me and I roll my eyes. “Seriously.” “Ok fine, seriously…. I don’t know. I’ve wondered it myself as well. But I want to believe that yes, they will be.” he tells me, and I can see that's the truth. “I want to believe that too. I really only worry about my parents. They love you, and they are going to be thankful I’ve found you, but for some reason I’m still worried” “Because I’m only a warrior?” He says quietly. I look over and he is holding my gaze and I see that intensity from last night in them. Its his love for me. And I can see the way he really feels about us.

“What do you think mom and dad will think?” He thought about the answer for a second and I could tell you was genuinely wondering the same thing that I was. “Honestly, I'm not sure. I know they will be happy, But I also know it won't be what they’ve expected. Although I suspect they should be the most upset That you haven't told them the truth the Past month more than anything, that you hid it and were probably sad and we couldn’t help you.” “Is that how they will feel, or how you feel?” I asked with a pointed look. “Both.” he replied flatly. “I’ve actually…. um, nevermind,” He starts his sentence and then shakes his head like whatever he was thinking either didn’t make sense or shouldn’t be said, and it made me more than a little curious. “What?” I asked him. “Nothing, nevermind,” he waved his hand dismissively. &nb

I chuckle at her adorable ways and come closer to her.“That went well,” I say and she laughs.“I suppose it did. But it left us with more questions than answers, yet again.”“Yeah. I mean, I’d already figured out that it had happened before. But I guess mom knows what the other mates positions and relationships were. And apparently, it was always for a different ‘reason’”“Yeah but the last one was a warrior too. So wouldn’t that be a repeat? Or maybe not, since you are a General?”“I think she means that something happened each time, something that determined their future. Not necessarily their positions. I’m not sure, I’ll do some more research. Honestly the only thing I was looking for the first time, was whether I could even possibly have you. Once I found that out, I went to your broth

Sure enough she is at her table with a canvas and paint in front of her while my dad is at her desk, his glasses perched on his nose while he goes over documents and relays questions to my mom while she works. The way they work together has always been my inspiration for my future relationship. I wanted to lead a pack as seamless as they do. Now, I had to learn how to help lead an army that seamless. They look up at the same time, obviously not expecting me. My mom gasps and runs over to me, hugging me tight. “Oh thank Goddess you came home for a break! Ryn, I didn’t think you’d be able to bring her back so soon, I’m so glad that you were able to convince her to,” My mother says to me and then to Ryn. He bows out of respect to her and my father and then nods his head. “Me too.” “Now you and I, we have a lot to talk about, because I am not buying that bullshit about why you left, I want to the
