"Morning my love." Holden was lying next to me staring at me while I slowly opened my eyes. "How was your sleep Alpha?" I yawned as I spoke, feeling groggy from last night's interesting turn of events. I found out a lot about the man I just mated to, and myself. I had the strangest dreams last night. The same dream's about the man with tattoos. Who was he? Why was I dreaming so much about him when I didn't even know who he was or even if he was real? Holden placed his hand on my head and ran his fingers gently through my hair. "I'm so sorry Diana, I don't know what came over me.. I was so anxious to be with you I guess my wolf was doing most of the work for me..." Holden sounded sincere, but I also had my reservations if he was speaking the truth. I know some men like it rough, so it was most likely he was one of those types. I will just have to learn to live with it. What am I supposed to do? He was the Alpha after..."Diana, call me Holden. Don't worry about what I said last night
"What the hell?" I padded my hand on the night stand, searching for my phone. When I finally found it I touched the screen, the bright screen felt like it was burning into my eyes. 7:36am I sighed when I saw the time. I was hoping I could get up earlier, but my sleepless nights had me tired in the mornings. The mysterious man haunted me in my dreams and I had no clue who he was. He consumed my mind day and night, and I couldn't help to feel guilty. I wouldn't dare tell Holden or he would probably lose his mind. I starred up at the ceiling while twiddling my thumbs. I was thinking about the tattooed symbols like a puzzle waiting to be deciphered. I knew I needed to get to the bottom this mystery. I closed my eyes and mind-linked the only friend I had in my new pack. Adrian. "Adrian? Do you have a spare sketch book or notepad?" Suddenly, I heard Adrian's deep voice enter my head. "Luna, I got a few supplies from my office I could bring up to you. Give me a few minutes." Adrian w
I looked down at the plate of food in front of me; eggs, potatoes, toast, some fruit on the side, a typical breakfast that I usually enjoyed, but I wasn't in the mood to eat.The diner we ate in was quiet with only a few customers and we sat in the largest booth (to accommodate Holden's size) at the end of the restaurant. I appreciated him taking me here instead of a five-star restaurant. This place reminded me of an old diner back home, nothing fancy, just the basics. I remember eating there all the time when I was a kid with my family, fond memories that felt like an eternity ago.The food was mediocre, but it was the ambiance was what I enjoyed most. I poked my egg with my fork, watching the yoke ooze out. As I watched the yellow liquid I couldn't help to feel like I was this egg, oozing out of control.I kept my gaze on my plate as Holden continued talking about his life. I nodded like I was paying attention, but I kept replaying what happened this morning. I had no words to what
"Wow Luna, your fast." Red said as we ran side by side through the dense forests.I kept a few paces in front of him while we played cat and mouse. The thrill of the chase was the most exhilarating part of being a wolf, and for the first time since coming to the Crimson pack I felt free and alive."Holden told me about this spot by the lake, let's go." I mind linked to Red taking a sharp right east towards the clearing.It was only a few hundred yards away and I could already hear the water just beyond the trees. As we came into the clearing I slowed my pace near the edge of the lake, allowing my paws to dampen on the pebbled beach. The sun was setting over the horizon allowing the pink sky to mirror like glass across the still lake.Red and I sat on the waters edge, not speaking, just listening to the chirping and croaks of crickets and bull frogs. I took in a deep breath as I gazed at the beautiful surroundings. Red seemed to be enjoying it as much as I was, his eyes encapsulated on
I stood there like a deer in headlights. Aria had a smirk on her face that I wish I could slap off, but I contained my composure to avoid embarrassment."Diana, I've been expecting you. Please." Holden signaled me to enter, he was smiling and seemed more chipper then usual. I was cautiously optimistic, preparing myself for fireworks."You two can leave now." Holden nodded in Aria's direction and without hesitation both of them proceeded out of the room.I gave Aria a dirty look as she walked out the room while Red followed closely behind her, his head ducking down in shame. He knew he sold me out, but it was probably because he was commanded to, a warrior that didn't follow an order was a death wish.As soon as the door closed behind them Holden stood up, clutching my little black book tightly in his hand."I can explain." I said as I tried beating him to the punch."No, Diana. You lied to me, but I will admit... I already knew." He walked towards the window, peering through the glass
"What do you mean she left for her other job? I find it impossible that she is working, for WHAT? Eighteen hours?!" I was questioning a old grey haired lady who was locking up the restaurant. Thankfully Adrian drove me fast enough to catch her before the diner closed for the night."I told you Luna, that's all I know! Now if you please, I'm going home." She tried walking by me but I stood in her way.Her wrinkled face was flustered with annoyance, and I was increasingly getting frustrated with her attitude. She obviously didn't want me to know of Angie's whereabouts."Ok, you know what, you just stand still and I'll find out for myself." I smirked. I had a trick up my sleeve, another 'ability' no one knew about. I remember using it once, years ago when Adam and I got into a fight. I swore never to use it again, but desperate times comes with desperate measures. I wasn't even sure it would work, but what did I have to lose?"What do you mean? I told you the truth, there's no need!" She
Holden POVThe next day..."What do you think Alpha?" Iris whispered next to me.I held my finger to my forehead as I tapped my foot impatiently, hoping something more interesting would occur, but the two warriors sparring was as boring as watching a documentary on mute. No one on this trip has impressed me so far and I was to the point where I wanted to jump in the fight ring myself. The temptation always increasing as Iris brought out more warriors to 'impress' me."What do I think?" I scoffed. Watching them fight was worse then watching rats fight over a piece of food."We got a better line up of our newer warriors, you may be pleased with them." Iris glanced at his clip board, scrolling down the names with his fingers. He was a man of focus and never asked questions, another reason why we got along so well. I couldn't imagine running this pack without him."Hm, good." I sighed."You seem quiet Alpha. If you don't mind if I ask, is it regarding Diana?"For a moment I hesitated when
Holden. . . Later that night"Al-ph-a!!" Her screams were getting louder as the night went on, but little did she know, I was far from finished. Her pale naked body glimmered in sweat as I held her tightly against my hips, pulling her in with my arm, feeling every inch of her soft skin. I could tell she inexperienced, her movements were unrhythmic, but lets me honest, I was keeping up this pace.Her hands clutched the cotton sheets as she tried holding her tiny body up, but the force of my weight kept pushing her closer to the bed. My other hand clasped tightly around her brown hair, like pulling reins of a horse.The sounds of her moans electrified the air, and all I wanted was to be inside her. She was so WARM; so TIGHT; so WET."Too...Much!" She yelled as she struggled to keep her arms balanced on the bed.The thrill of hearing her screams made my loins tighten. I wanted her to struggle, the thrill was a mere drug, and I was addicted.I jerked her head all the way to mine; her bod
