The Alpha King remained completely still.He was too afraid to make the slightest movement in case it brought him back to reality. A reality where Mira and Clove set his Clohe; his mate on fire.Looking at the smoke that was rising from the ground, his breathing became shallow and his twin hearts beat erratically.He couldn't understand why Mira and Clove would do such a thing.The rage had never left his body, but it was currently taking a backseat as he tried to remind himself that a Nightengale Warrior does not harm a female unless he is lost to the darkness entirely. The lines between light and dark were currently blurred. It was solely up to him to decide whether he was going to allow himself to cross over to the darkness or remain in the light with his dignity still intact.He begged for a miracle and for the heavens and the Moon Goddess to have compassion on Clohe since she was young and had so much to live for; he desired to be the one to show her the world, the universe, and
By the time morning rolled over and the sun made her appearance. The Egyptians had finally been defeated. Clove was on her knees with her head in her hands as she sobbed, and the air was still with silence. With Clohe by his side, the Alpha King was going around and healing those who could be cured on the spot. SHADOW came to a crashing halt in front of Mira, who was on her side and surrounded by a charred circle. He shifted into his human form. He knew she wasn't dead because he could still feel her, but the connection between them was very faint, and it caused him to tremble with fear. He entered the circle, knelt, grabbed Mira in his arms, and carried her away from the ashes of Thehmukss, which were being swept away by the wind. He carried her to the wooden log and he sat down, crushing her to him. Clove sniffled as she raised her head and watched Alpha Bastion carry her daughter away. She shook her head, wiped the tears that stained her face with heartache and got to her
The Next Night...Mira walked hand in hand with Alpha Bastion through the doors that lead them into the eatery hall. Everyone stood up from their assigned seats with their hands behind their backs and in complete silence.Clove was close behind them, followed by The Alpha King and Clohe who were also walking into the eatery hall hand in hand. As Mira and Alpha Bastion reached the head of the table, they waited for Clove to stand beside Mira, Zeb to stand by Alpha Bastion and Clohe by Clove. Mira took her time to meet everyone's gaze who was standing around the long wooden table."I want to thank you all for gathering here tonight to share our first meal as a new pack under my leadership." She began. "I also want to express my gratitude to Snow Valley Pack for welcoming the Nightengale Warriors into your home and showing them kindness. I am truly humbled to be able to call you my pack; my family." She paused for a moment as she looked at Alpha Bastion. "Tomorrow we leave for Pack Moo
Mira excused herself from the dinner table early. She wanted to shower and slip on something a little more comfortable to get Alpha Bastions' heart pumping. She stood under the spraying shower head with her eyes closed while she rinsed off the last remnants of the conditioner she had lathered onto her hair. Sucking in a sharp breath, she stilled her movements. She could sense his presence before she felt his strong arm wrap around her bare waist. His front was pressed against her back. The warmth of his feverish flesh seduced her cool body and her breathing became laboured."You snuck away thinking I wouldn't notice?" He growled in a husky tone. Her eyes remained closed as she continued to feel him, breathe in his exotic mating scent, and savour it upon her taste buds. She slightly stuck out her tongue and ran it over the seams of her upper lip.His other hand gripped her hip like a vice, his fingers bit into her shivering flesh leaving a bite of pain in their wake. Slowly, he
In a leisurely fashion, Alpha Bastion inched his way to the top of the bed, his head coming within a few inches of resting on the plush, deep blue velvet headboard adorned with huge silver studs.Mira climbed after him, she nipped on his inner thigh before she stood erect on her knees.Raising both of her hands to her head, she ran them over her hair changing her hair colour back to a deep firey red. Bastion released a gusty breath. He was flabbergasted with surprise, shock and amazement. With wide eyes, he watched as she lowered her hands, sliding them over her breasts, and abdomen and she brazenly slipped her hand between her legs; over her sweet mould where he desired to be buried deep to the hilt. She sighed; moaned with pleasure as her fingers skimmed over her clit. Looking at him through half-lidded eyes, she sucked on her lower lip intentionally trying to drive him crazy with lust and desire. She wanted him to lose control. With her. She wanted him to know that she was his in
Clove stood with Clohe and the Alpha King on the terrace of the pack house. They stood next to the railing, their heads tilted up at the stars as they enjoyed the view and the silence that hung thickly between them.After the frantic days, they had just had, the silence was very much appreciated.The Alpha King had asked to speak with Clove after dinner. He wanted her to fill him in about what happened on Morzovia when the Egyptians showed up and he desired to know what became of his family. He was having trouble believing they had died as he could still feel their presence lingering over him.Clohe sighed as she lowered her head and turned to look at the Alpha King."You have questions for me, Alpha King Zeb?" She asked him politely. He lowered his head, brushed a hand over his mouth and clenched his jaw."Please," He waved his hand to the side where an outdoor sofa was stationed against the wall. "Have a seat so we can talk more comfortably." His voice dripped with kindness and d
Clohe waited patiently as the Alpha King and Clove spoke in hushed tones. When they had finished, Clove dipped her head out of respect for her King, then turned away, and walked back into the pack house with tears glazing in her tired eyes. She watched as Zeb gripped the railing, his body went rigid and he bowed his head letting out a brutal grunt that was filled with frustration. He was worried. Scared. Angry. All the emotions that swirled in the nest of his chest, making him on edge and snappy at his fellow Nightengale Warriors. She felt compelled to get to her feet and rush to his side. Wrapping her small arms around his large waist, she rested her cheek against his back. She could hear the heavy pounding of his twin hearts and she knew his stress was eating away at him. "I hate seeing you like this." She whispered with a sigh. "I wish I could do something to half the burdens you are carrying on your shoulders." He tilted his head back and looked up at the heavens, gent
Clohe stood at the window while she towel-dried her hair.She looked up at the moon and cursed the Moon Goddess for mating her with Zeb. If she was destined to be with a wolf, she would have been mated by now. The sound of heavy footsteps approached her room with determination and it had her spinning around the second her bedroom door crashed open.Her towel slid through her grasp. She snarled, bearing her fangs as she crouched down to the ground; one palm rested flat against the floorboards, and her other hand was raised behind her; high above her head.As the Alpha King entered her room, she didn't relax her stance as she could sense his rage that easily contaminated the air between them.His gaze never left hers as he slammed the door behind him which created cracks to slither up the wooden frames. He strode toward her with a brutal beat playing beneath the soles of his combat boots.Unable to tear her gaze away from him, her wet hair framed her delicate face and her luminous amb
