As Destiny walked to the gym, she could feel several pairs of eyes, boring into her. She pushed further the cap of her hoodie, trying her best not to draw any attention. But that wasn't helping. Roxy and her other friends stopped whatever they were doing and stared at her when she walked in.
“Stop staring at me,” Destiny snapped at them as she sat down on the bench to get ready for her sparring.“Well, we can't help it. Everyone is talking about you.” Roxy shrugged.“Did you have a vision?” Lauren asked.
“Can you see the future?” Roxy asked another question.
Her friends bombarded her with a series of questions.
“It's not like that, I am not a fortune-teller. It's not in my control, it was the first time I saw anything like that......” Destiny explained and zipped up her sparring jacket. She wasn't able t
Jake sat back in his chair and tried to remember what his father had told him about dealing with hostile packs before the madness took him. Jake hadn't thought about his father in a long-time, apart from seeing him in his nightmares.The news of Richard's death had spread like wildfire, it was shocking and somewhat unexpected, but there was nothing Jake could do about it. Wolves didn't follow human rules. Their world was brutal and the fittest survived.“Looks like you don't have to prove anything anymore,” Sam commented, taking the chair opposite to him.As per Sam's reports, there was no substantial information on anyone in their pack causing trouble. But there was a list of names who had been acting more anxious than ordinary, and people who had been out of contact. That list included reasons for the inability to get a hold of them. As far as Eliza was concerned, she seemed to be happy with the mating. But just to be su
“Why does Jake want me?” Destiny asked as she trotted hastily beside Serra. “I have no idea,” Serra replied, walking rapidly towards the Alpha office. “Is it regarding my visions?” Destiny asked. “Probably,” Serra gave a one-word answer which frustrated Destiny. Serra was being weird today and the way she was running towards Jake's office. It looked like she had to catch a flight! She found Jake and Sam near the Manor's entrance. She sucked in a breath as her eyes met Jake's. He smiled at her, she suddenly wanted to bury herself in the ground. It was impossible to not feel like pinning him against the wall and tearing that back shirt off him. His usually sleek hair was slightly messed up but in a good way. As if he had just returned from a run, a few dark bangs hung over his forehead, giving him a bad boy look. He had probably caught her gawking at him, so his smiles broadened, and he gave her a wink. Destiny flushed and averted her
Jake sat in his office, but he wasn't listening as Sam talked, and he didn't notice the intensity with which Sam was staring at him. He was listening to what was going through Destiny's head. He had been so relieved when she accepted his mental communication. She didn't attempt to block him from anything that was going on; in fact, she reached for him.When it seemed like this would be the way things were going for a while, he turned his attention back to his two betas in front of him. Her thoughts became background noise in his mind. “There was an attack on the Starlight pack. They have fallen. We are recalling all of our pack members on exchange and sending those here back home.” Sam's words were mechanical, all mockery left his voice. “The problem is, there are quite a few who are refusing to go. Some have found mates, and that is understandable. It is those who haven't found mates, even they are refusing to leave. They feel safe here. There
The spicy, delicious smell filled the hallways as Jake wandered towards the kitchen. Following the aroma, he pushed open the big doors to the kitchen and leaned at the entrance to watch. Destiny was bent over a pot, her ass looked firm and taut in the tight shorts she wore. She looked tempting and smelled delectable. Her spicy, cinnamon smell blended beautifully with the aroma floating in the air. His wolf growled in appreciation. It was happier and much more tamed since Eliza had moved out of the picture. He wondered if making out in the kitchen would be a good idea when his wayward thoughts were distracted, as Destiny started to dance with one of the girls on the rock music coming out of a boom box that he didn't even know existed in the kitchen. He stepped into the kitchen. Destiny spun around and dashed right into his arms. Startled, she took a step back and stopped. He smiled and started to gyrate to the music. Destiny was quick enough to follow his le
“We need to talk,” Destiny noticed that she was clutching Jake very tightly. She had plastered herself against him, she could feel his muscle shifting beneath her fingers and his chest rising and falling as he breathed. The scent that she had so desperately breathed in dominated her senses. Heat flickered through her body and she trembled, her guard was down and even if she wanted to scurry to pull it back up she couldn't. The weight of his arms around her ignited a fire deep inside her. She cast her eyes upward to look at his face. His eyes glowed with worry and concern and love. They had reached near her home, and the sunset was casting a warm orange glow on them. She could hear the hustle and bustle of the pack as people left towards the dining area for the dinner she had cooked so lovingly. “Sure tell me.” He said, urging her to talk. She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the house, she sat down on the couch and Jake took the seat next to her.
Rodney stood in the middle of the room, surrounded by the sounds of people in misery. The wolves he was holding captive were all loyal to Richard. He walked over to one of the women who was chained naked, on her knees, with her arms behind her. She immediately began growling at him, and he smiled at her, unimpressed.He looked at her with amusement. “Maybe if you continue to behave yourself, you'll get lucky, and I'll keep you for myself.”She spit at him.“It's either that or I give you to my betas. Trust me, no matter how unpleasant you think I might be, it could be worse.” He grinned again and turned.He left the room and headed for the stairs. He had several meetings to attend. Eliza would be mated to him that evening. Then the rest of the pack would fall in line. He figured that he could keep her around until he had complete control of the pack, and then he coul
Jake was feeling nervous and Jumpy. He was dealing with an influx of thoughts and feelings. As the guests were arriving for the Lumens ceremony, he was supposed to play the hospitable host. He wasn't surprised when he didn't notice his beta Sam standing next to him.“Excited?” Sam drawled.He chuckled, “I should be.”“Stop jumping on your heels. I was just informing you that the security is working at maximum capacity. ““Well, that is one less thing to worry about.”“Also the council…all the council will be attending the ceremony tonight.”"Good," Jake said.He let his mind wander, as he went inside. He knew the minute she entered the main hall. She smelled sweet and hypnotic, and she looked just as beautiful. This was the first time he had ever seen her in such a pretty dress. It hugged her upper bod
Destiny was nervous. She had never been a part of the luminal, the moonlight bond. It was an old ritual and performed in only a few packs. The mated or about to be mated couple assembled under the full moon and received blessings from Luna. Unlike the pack run and other parties, it wasn't just about mating and rutting. It was a sacred ceremony. The high priests adorned the couple's bodies with sacred tattoos. Juices from the moonflower also known as morning glory were combined with some herbs which held magical properties. It was sunk beneath the skin in intricate patterns. It was said that the stronger the glow, the stronger would be the bond. When Jake asked her if she would like to be part of the ceremony before their mating. She had readily agreed. She walked quietly through the woods towards the Lake, leading the other mated and betrothed girls of the pack. The shimmering pool of water basked in the glow of the moon. The pack was already presen
