27 - One Thing After Another
~Nate’s Point of View~
It's real easy to get caught up in all the day to day and lose sight of things. I try to always remember the big picture, remember what I should be focused on. A home for my mate, a forever safe home. But it has gotten to be much bigger than just us. I’m going to be a freaking Alpha, I’m still letting that sink in.
The happiness, health and safety of potentially dozens of people rests on my shoulders. At just 19 years old, that’s not something I take lightly. Maybe it’s just finally hitting me how big a deal this truly is. With our village, it's even worse due to the human factor.
Going to do all that press, getting harassed and put under a microscope just got me out of my skin. I never put much stock in what humans thought of our kind or t
Sareeawww poor Nate!

Alpha Ridge 28 - Emotional Rollercoaster
~Missy’s Point of View~ I got a call from Nate that he needed all available bodies tonight, and he didn’t have time to elaborate so I didn’t quite know what that meant. I was just glad I was getting a night away and skipping school tomorrow. My parents didn’t put up a fight about me sleeping over with them, their daughter was Luna and they made sure to tell every single person whether they asked or not. I had an hour left of school and I was counting the very seconds. “Are you still here? Shouldn’t you be taking your freak show elsewhere,” Celia said, from just behind me as I closed my locker. “I’m no more thrilled about it than you are,” I said, tossing my backpack over my shoulder and wal
Alpha Ridge 29 - Distractions Needed
~Ryan’s Point of View~As I walked out of the gym and headed back toward the packhouse I nearly threw up. My body felt like it was rejecting … something. My wolf was pacing, pissed off. I’d explained all this to him but he was still ready to shift and kill everything in sight. He was insanely protective of Missy and I noticed Nate behaving the same way. In this moment, we only had the three of us. Our wolves were lost.“I didn’t get to tell you as part of my punishment or whatever I can’t miss anymore school. So even if I get home late I really should still sleep there,” Missy said, just as we arrived back.I growled, needing to keep her close. I didn’t have a pack now, but I had my mate. And Huck wasn’t about to let her
Alpha Ridge 30 - Alphas
~Nate’s Point of View~ “Hi, I’m Alpha Nate, this is Alpha Ryan,” I said, trying to leave the conversation where they would need to explain themselves. After the intense as fuck nightmare I had, I was starving. But this was more important. *You just introduced yourself as Alpha. And it sounded pretty fucking good,* Onyx said, boosting my confidence. “It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Jason. This is my adopted mom Marion. That’s Colt, Trent, Louie, Raine and Tara. The girls are only 12 and 14. We range from 15-17. We’re not blood related but Marion and her husband fostered all of us and slowly adopted us one at a time. Mark, our father passed last year. It’s been pretty damn rough for us ever since. We lost our h
Alpha Ridge 31 - In The Dead of Night
~Missy’s Point of View~ “So you’re seriously never going to join Long Tooth? Your family’s pack,” I said, in shock. Renata made a face and put down her drink. She looked out of the large picture window in my little suite, we’d been holed up in here for a couple hours. My mates were busy helping train the human teenage boys to help with security and I was exhausted from the long day. “There was just something so fulfilling about watching the guys bring people into their new pack. They’re Alphas for like an hour and suddenly they have what? Twenty-five people under them. I just think it’s amazing. I trust Ryan with my life, and in a way Nate is his mate so I trust him the same. Long Tooth is just old … my parents’ pack, hell my grandparents. That’s how I’ll always
Alpha Ridge 32 - Pride Takes A Hit
~Ryan’s Point of View~ “I’m fine really,” I grumbled, even though my whole body hurt like hell. I was certain some loving from my mate would fix everything but they weren’t letting me go home yet. I don’t know why she couldn’t come to me. I’d helped fend off rogue attacks before, but nothing like this. Those motherfuckers seemed organized, they hit us from all sides at once. The Shadow vamp caught one and tried to torture him a bit for information but the bastard kicked without saying much. Low tolerance for pain, worthless. Likely looking for females, that’s what we assumed. Well they weren’t fucking getting them from our village! I was still blind with rage that these assholes even thought for a seco
Alpha Ridge 33 - Female Hormones
~Missy’s Point of View~ I’d had to miss two days of school with everything going on and I was terrified they would flunk me. Susie offered to come meet with the principal and long story short, I would be graduating as expected. She said while listening to his thoughts she found out some interesting tidbits but of course, she wouldn’t elaborate. If blackmail was necessary for me to get that stupid certifcate than I didn’t care. The whispers around the school were harsh, criticizing my mates for not being able to keep their people safe. It was absolutely ludicrous, and the fact that our village did as well as it did with the small numbers it had really was amazing. I mean, Susie was basically five people in one but they didn’t need to know that. “I heard one of her mates
Alpha Ridge 34 - Differences
~Missy’s Point of View~Saturday had been a day everyone was looking forward to, anxious to be productive. But me? I was hiding like a damn coward in the kitchen. Terrified of seeing those males again. Their muscles, their perfect smiles.Thankfully there was no shortage of things to do so I did well at staying occupied. Since Chance’s mate arranged most of the food, we were making drinks and desserts. Kendra conjured up a table, and once we had it full she teleported it out to the field. It was pretty damn cool. Every hour or so it would come back empty and we’d fill it up all over again. There had to be fifty people out there at this point.There was talk they may be able to do a fourth house as long as there were enough materials. I hoped they coul
Alpha Ridge 35 - Burgundy
~Renata’s Point of View~ I just can’t waste any brain power on Ryan tonight. I know it’s a shock for him, hell I’m still in shock too! I always, always dreamed about my pups. If they would look like me, or my mate. Well I sure as shit knew now, they were going to look nothing like me in their natural form. My heart broke at the thought. But Missy believes in the Goddess, and deep down I know I do too. I paced in the woods alone, waiting for Diego to show up. I had a complete meltdown and insisted that we be alone. I think Nate was too terrified to go against me after my outburst. I didn’t want anyone else to see me like this, so emotional. It wasn’t my usual personality and in Long Tooth we don’t show weakness. But having a mate has just scrambled my damn head! While D
