Once we finished breakfast Elijah and I went upstairs to our office. Elijah had work he needed to catch up on for the pack and I needed to start looking through the books that we found. It wasn’t exactly the most exciting way to start the weekend but being luna wasn’t all about parties and socialising. Elijah liked having me close when he was working so I sat beside him at his desk as I looked through one of the books that we found. Elijah kept at least one hand on me at all times. He didn’t seem to care how slow or awkward it made things for him, he just wanted to have me in his arms. I wasn’t going to object, having him this close to me chased away my worries over the dream I had last night. Every so often he would lean over and kiss my cheek or my hair then go back to work. I couldn’t imagine that he was getting much done but I was enjoying being here with him. I wish I could say the same about the book. The book that I had selected seemed to give detailed family trees for a bun
Elijah was still kissing me when he received a mindlink from his brother to let us know that Helen had crossed our border with some omegas from her pack. Glancing at my watch I noticed that she was almost two hours early. Either this woman was really eager to meet Ryker or she was trying to catch us unprepared. I really don’t like her.We quickly made ourselves look presentable and made our way downstairs to meet her entourage. They hadn’t arrived by the time we got downstairs but Ryker was waiting near the door between Felix and his parents. Judging by the way they were standing so close to him I think they were expecting him to try running away. Or maybe he already had, he did seem to be acting rather sheepish. Elijah stood beside his parents. He circled his arms around my waist, pulling me close to his body and kissing my cheek. I could sense his desire to demonstrate our love for each other in front of Helen. I was still trying to block out Elijah’s thoughts and I couldn’t hear t
I have never been so happy to see a Monday morning before but after two days of dealing with Helen I couldn’t be happier. Ryker hadn’t come back to the house for more than a few minutes since Helen had shown up so she expected the rest of us to entertain her. Last night she even started knocking on the door to mine and Elijah’s room in the middle of the night. The only positive thing about her constant interruptions was that I didn’t sleep heavily enough to have that horrible nightmare again. I was grateful for that even if that was only because I didn’t get a proper night's sleep for the last two nights. I let out a long sigh as I got dressed for the day ahead. I would much rather be spending the day with Elijah but Helen had ruined that plan too. Elijah didn’t want to be stuck in the same house as Helen for another moment so he was going to spend the days visiting his business interests around the pack. I was sure that I would be able to persuade him to let me come with him. I have
I felt uncomfortable being back at school after what had happened last time I was here. I spent the whole morning worrying that Arthur was going to spring out from around every corner. Knowing that there was someone as powerful as him made me feel more vulnerable than I had ever felt before, even in all my years on the run as a child. I needed to find some way of making my powers stronger but that was easier said than done. I had no idea how my powers worked so I had to rely on the books my mom left for me and those books were not easy to get through. There was so much information in them and a lot of it didn’t help me right now. What I really needed was some help with my research, that way I could get through the books much faster. “Why do you look so miserable?” Charlotte asked me as she walked up behind me. “I had a terrible weekend,” I replied. I was on my way to the canteen for lunch but socialising was the last thing on my mind. I just wanted to get this day over with so tha
By the time Elijah arrived a few moments later everything was already returning to normal. Elijah ran into the room followed by his beta and a couple of his warriors. Maybe I should have been a little clearer over mindlink. He must have thought that a war had broken out to bring this many fighters. He still looked delicious in his suit but now his tie and jacket were a little dishevelled. He paused briefly as his eyes combed over the canteen until they landed on me. He ran over to me, picking me up and spun me around while showering me with kisses. Despite how serious our situation was I couldn’t hold back my giggles.“I was so worried about you. I know you are strong but the thought of you getting in a fight without me there to protect you tears me up inside.” He whispered in my ear, his breath against my neck.“I promise I was never in any danger but I am worried that Helen might never forgive us.” I replied, trying to distract myself from my own increasing arousal. I don’t know wh
Elijah pulled me off his shoulder and threw me onto our bed. He kneeled on the bed beside me and leaned over kissing me softly on my lips before telling me to stay still using his seductive, husky voice. His voice alone was enough to send tingles all the way down my spine. I loved it when he took charge like this but there was something inside me that couldn’t resist challenging him and pushing him to be even more dominant.“What would you do if I didn’t?” I asked. A small growl rumbled through his chest as he moved so he was even closer to me. He laid so his body was hovering over mine while he kissed his way along my jaw and neck, interspersing the kisses with soft nibbles with his teeth. My desire for him was increasing rapidly. I wrapped my arms around his body trying to pull him closer. I needed him desperately, I needed to feel the friction of his body against mine. “You are already in trouble for letting yourself get in the middle of that fight today. It probably isn’t a good
Training was tough. Now that Elijah knew that I was an alpha he was eager to test my fighting skills. On the walk over here I had hoped that I would get to take things a little easy. Maybe spend the session kicking Felix’s ass repeatedly but apparently I was out of luck. Elijah was a much stronger fighter than his brother, I was still stronger than he was but only by a small margin. In terms of raw strength, Elijah and I were pretty evenly matched but I was faster than him so that gave me a slight edge.After a few minutes of sparing the rest of the pack weren’t even trying to fight anymore, they were too busy watching us. I felt a little guilty for Kicking Elijah’s ass in front of part of his own pack. Not guilty enough to pull my punches though. I was born to be an alpha, both me and my wolf hated to lose. Elijah and I circled each other, looking for an opening in each other's defences. My wolf was getting impatient, she thought we could take Elijah down easily and she just wanted
“Diana,” Someone shouted. My head was fuzzy, I wasn't sure how long I had been asleep but I knew it wasn’t long enough. Mumbling under my breath, I turned away from the noise that was trying to pull me out of my sleep. A few more minutes, or hours, that was what I needed right now. “Diana, my darling,” they said. Fingers caressed my cheek, brushing my hair away from my face but there were no tingles. Whoever was touching me wasn’t my mate. My eyes shot open as I pushed myself away from the unknown person who was stroking my face. Fear gripped my body as I opened my eyes and realised that I was back in the same room from my nightmare the other night. Arthur was sitting on the bed beside me with a sickening grin on his face. Pushing with my arms and my legs, I tried to get as far away from him as I could. Once I put a little bit of distance between the two of us, I turned to jump out of the bed. That was when he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “I brought you here so we could talk
