********MATURE CONTENT********Yesterday was certainly a wild ride. No one expected Lydia to be behind the attacks on Black Howl. Although, now it made sense why Winter’s ex looked familiar to me.He was the one I caught with Lydia in the woods right before I broke up with her. I don’t know how we didn’t know he was a rogue let alone the feral leader.When I met him in Georgia, he had no scent of a wolf on him. He smelled strictly of human. I won’t dwell on it because I’m glad he’s dead. Lydia has proven she’s a psychopath and Winter has decided that Lydia deserves to be executed. I stand by my mate a thousand percent and Shadow huffed in agreement.Winter may be a sweet and caring person, but I would not want to cross Avalanche by any means. I woke up early in the morning to meet with my dad and go over Lydia’s hearing.A few of the guards have been complaining about Lydia‘s obnoxious behavior down in the cells. I apologize to them as though there isn’t anything I can do. I give them
Having a lazy day with Blake is just what the doctor ordered. I feel completely refreshed and ready to take on the day. Lydia’s trial is tomorrow and I am curious as to what her punishment will be. But for now, I am not going to think about her and all the damage she’s caused.Today, me, Maddie, mom, Gloria, and Jani are going wedding dress shopping. The five us piled into Jani’s large SUV and headed to the closest town where the cutest bridal boutique is.Forty-five minutes after leaving the pack border, we arrived at Enchanted Bridal Haven. The shop is a quaint little hole in the wall and has everything a bride can dream of. Dresses upon dresses lined the walls, tiaras, earring, and necklaces, were in enclosed cases in each corner of the shop. Different veils, all sizes, hung on the wall behind a counter.Four massive mirrors graced the main wall with small circular platforms in front of them. The dressing rooms were off to the side down a small hallway. All of us were in awe of thi
The courtroom area in the pack house is filled to the brim with pack members. Everyone is eager to see what Lydia‘s punishment would be. Since my dad and Alpha Stephan have agreed to split up Lydia’s punishment, Alpha Stephan will be joining my dad, Jared, and Gramps at the judge‘s desk.The rest of us are sitting in the front row waiting patiently for the trial to start. I wrapped my arm around Winter to comfort her. I can feel her body relax the instant I touch her. “Are you okay?” I ask, knowing she’s probably raging underneath her tense facade.“I’m okay, but Avalanche is pacing around in my head. She‘s growing impatient.” Winter confessed.Shadow whined in my head, sensing Avalanche’s uneasiness. I kiss Winter on the temple to hopefully help Ava relax a little bit. Winter sighed a breath of relief which I take as a sign that Ava calmed down.Two warriors stood on each side of Lydia. Though I can’t see her face, her blonde hair is a complete disaster as though she’s been pulling a
Two Weeks LaterThings around our pack have been quiet and peaceful. I feel a little piece of my heart left when Samantha went to Black Howl with her new mate.Maddie‘s wolf, Blaire, finally came forward and tonight is Maddie’s first shift. She’s excited and nervous, but mostly excited. Maddie has been busting her ass making sure she’s strong enough thanks to Samantha helping train Maddie.I was able to round up some volunteers to help build the apartment complexes for new members. Construction has started and of course everything is a mess. I have drawn up blueprints of how I would like the apartments to look.The first two floors are going to be a mix of studio apartments and two-bedroom ones. the third and fourth floors are going to be two- bedroom and three-bedroom ones. And the fifth and sixth floors are going to be larger apartments for larger families. Each apartment will contain soundproof walls so that everyone will live peacefully.Every kitchen will have state of the art ap
Nine Months Later.Today is the day. My wedding day. My Luna ceremony. And it’s Christmas. My stomach is filled with butterflies and I barely slept the night before. Blake stayed at the pack house in his old suite since it’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. That’s probably one of the reasons why I barely slept.Maddie stayed with me last night so we could go over last minute wedding details and so I wouldn’t be alone. My mom brought my wedding dress over first thing this morning and Gloria and Jani came over to help calm my nerves. My wedding/ceremony isn’t until tonight so we plan on having a full spa treatment. After the spa, we are scheduled for our nail appointment, then following hair and make-up.Nancy will meet us at the salon with Paige so that she can look her best as well. For the past nine months, Paige has been so excited about being the flower girl. She takes the role very seriously. It’s rather adorable to be honest.“Alright ladies, it’s almost time for our
Winter- Six months laterMarried life and Luna life have been pretty amazing. Our parents took a well needed vacation on a cruise and Brad and Jani went to Europe.Jade and Maddie became official Beta and Lady Beta of the pack. Since Maddie has Lady Beta duties, she quit her job at the pack hospital, but still volunteers there every week.Alpha Stephan and Luna Samantha have welcomed their second pup, Ashlynn. We rotate visiting them each month so we can see them and our godpups. Samantha enjoys being Luna and the Black Howl Pack seems to really love her. She is striving and I couldn’t be more proud to have met her and become friends with her.Lydia is currently serving her sentence at the Black Howl Pack just as Alpha Stephan said she would. Two times a day for four hours in the pillory. I don’t know if she will ever understand the damage she has caused between our packs, but I hope that she will realize it and feel guilty about it for the rest of her life.Lydia’s father met his sec
"Yes, mom, I have my plane ticket in hand and I am heading to the airport now.", I said to my mom over the phone. We are so excited to see each other this Christmas."Okay Winter. I just can't wait to see you! I will be there at the airport to pick you up when your plane lands." Donna, my mom said. It's been too long since I have seen her, but we talk all the time. My mom is getting married this Christmas and I am excited to meet her fiancé. She's been by herself since daddy died so I am very happy for her. Though I do feel the wedding is a little rushed since they started dating a couple months ago, but if she's happy, then I'm happy."Oh! And Winter, Mr. Conners is eager to meet you as is his lovely wife. I know it was weird to ask their permission for you to visit but this community is very...private and they don't like a bunch of outsiders." my mom warned. I mean that's strange that they have to give permission for someone to visit, but to each their own I guess."What? Is the com
I dozed off during the car ride back to my mom's house. When I opened my eyes, I noticed we were in the middle of the forest. The sight was beautiful. The trees were covered in snow and there were houses neatly placed along the road. The sun had started to go down and the streetlights came on as well as the Christmas lights on the houses. Everything looked like a winter wonderland. I was in awe, it was such a beautiful sight. Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. And it's places like this that decorate and go all out is one of the reasons why."Wow! Everything is so beautiful, no wonder you love it here so much." I told my mom bringing a smile to her face. I can't wait to tell her I'm moving back. This may be a different town from where I grew up, but my mom will always be my home."I'm glad you like," mom said, "we are almost home." I couldn't wait to see her house. We would always go all out with Christmas decorations, so I know my mom would not disappoint me.We p
