Adira, dressed in a black dress, stands beside Jake, who also dressed in a black suit, listening with tears running down her cheeks as the officiating minister conducts a mass burial for her Pack members, her parents included. The Rogue attack has left a debilitating blow to the Pack. Though saved by the arrival of the GreyMoon Pack, most of their Pack members, especially their warriors have died defending their people. Jake, puts his arms around Adira to console her, and the blonde leans into him. She is trying to be brave for the rest of the Pack Members looking to her and Jake for guidiance. With the Alpha gone, it falls to her and Jake to lead their Pack. The blonde is overwhelmed with pain and sorrow, and there is someone whom she craves her presence, but she has yet to hear from the people she sent to find her sister. The burial concludes and they all retire to the Pack house. While they pick on the service meals, a few of the remaining grown Pack members approaches Jake and
The piercing cry of the newborn draws Adira’s attention and she looks toward the doctor’s and nurses to find one of them holding a very tiny bundle, with skin as red as a ripe tomato, and its face scrunched up like that of an old man while he tried to bring down the building with his cries. “Why is he crying? Is he in pain?” Unaware she has spoken her thoughts loud, Adira blinks when a round of chuckle followed her words. “No darling, he is hungry,” a nurse answers, with an amused expression. Surprised that a child that just left the womb could already be hungry, Adira once again blurts out her thoughts. “Already!” The room laughs again. “How is she?” Meredith questions from her prone position, her voice slightly muffled from tiredness. Adira’s eyes skips to her, and she gives her an honest answer. “Alive?” She posed her answer like a question, as she didn’t know how to take in the baby. She looks nothing like her best friend or Jake. And what is with the bald hair. Meredith
The words from her best friend’s mouth sounded like a mosquito buzz inside Adira’s ears. The blonde froze and gawked at her best friend with a horrified expression, her eyes thrice their size. The wolves accompany them bore a confused look on their faces, as the boys through their wolves tried to figure out what is happening. “What do I do?” Meredith’s terrified voice flew over Adira’s frozen head. The blonde was so shocked that her world became a white bubble. “Adira!” Meredith snapped loudly as a wave of pain crashed through her lower abdomen. Adira jumped, blinked and stared dazely at her best friend, her expression still horrified. Now she has her best friend’s attention, Meredith repeats her question, her expression terrified as well. “What do I do?” Adira swallows, her head empty. She wondered why her best friend is asking her. It is not like she has giving birth before. “What is going on?” Nate’s voice echoes in the ladies minds through the Pack link. The heads of th
The room erupted into chaos. The Pack warriors rushed forward to meet the invading wolves. Transforming with their clothes on. Alpha Conor still in human form barks orders to his members directing them on what to do. Jake about to rush off to join his father in defending their people is crabbed by the Alpha before he could take a step. “Not so fast, young man,” Alpha Conor says sternly, drawing out a frown from Jake. “I need you to do something for me,” he whispers, as chaos rained around them. Holding the Alpha’s gaze, Jake waits impatiently for his orders. The death screams of his people had he and his wolf restless, and he is itching to go out there. “I need you to go get help from the Gray Moon Pack,” he instructs Jake, while holding his eyes seriously. His expression communicating to the young man how important his mission is. The Alpha has judged the situation in the room and believes it is only a matter of time before his people are overwhelmed. The rogues are many compare
It feels like yesterday since Adira sat in front of her vanity mirror, prepping her face for the mating ball, and again it feels like years has flown by since that fateful day. As she stares boring into the semi curved mirror in front her, her sadness can be perceieved in her eyes. Her gorgeous green eyes, looks dulling, lacking their usual shine. Leaning against the door frame, observing his mate, as she prettied herself for out their outing is Jake. Just like the blonde, the s gorgeous teenager, now almost an adult, had an unhappy expression on his face. Things should have gotten better. He got what he wanted, but with the tensed situation between him and the blonde, sometimes, he wishes they didn’t mate, though his heart and his wolf stubbornly clings to the illusion of a future where things gets better between him and the blonde, and she is back to loving him as she did. Those memories shared while they dated, are like movies he replays in his mind, which tortures and gladden
After getting the life scared out of her, Adira opened her eyes to see her friends and family openly smiling at her, their eyes glowing with joy. She didn’t have the heart to disappoint them so she acted as they expected. She fakes a smile, looking at every one of them in the eyes, and pretending to share their happiness, when that word is the last thing she is feeling right at this moment. And despite Jake standing at the center of the gathered group, she somehow managed to skip his presence. Maybe because he is the last person she is thinking of right now. Her eyes catch his when he starts walking towards her, bearing a beautiful banquet of white roses, and a face full of gorgeous smiles. How dare he smile like everything is alright between them, Adira hissed in her mind, her smile faltering as Jake slowly closed the gap between them. Everyone in the room watched them, their expression eager and anticipatory. She can’t act cold toward him lest she raises their suspicion. Adir
