After losing both her parents and being injured at a very young age, then losing her grandparents less than ten years later, Zariah is put under the guardianship of the Alpha and Luna. She had been raised around alpha heir Isaac since she came to live with her grandparents. Isaac was protective of her from day one and never stopped. When Izzy turns eighteen, she gets her wolf, Onyx, and finds that Isaac is her mate. Although she is happy that he is the one, how can she trust the mate bond? After all, the mate bond killed her parents, and the mate bond killed her grandmother after her grandfather was killed. She wants to be positive that she can trust the bond before she accepts it. Meanwhile, she finds that her wolf is a rare wolf and there are dark witches who wish to drain her of her wolf's power. They also find out that there are two other alphas trying to kidnap her in order to use her for her abilities. She wonders if she will ever be done fighting. Whether it's the mate bond or assholes coming after her for her abilities, it seemed she would always be fighting. She was even fighting with herself! What would it take to end the fighting?
View MoreI was waiting at the emergency entrance of the pack hospital when an ambulance pulled into the driveway. Tayna jumped out, then two paramedics followed. When they pulled the stretcher out it almost looked empty. When I saw her face, she was a bloody mess and she was severely malnourished. The human nearly mutilated her face. She must have one tough wolf, because Onyx was able to sense her wolf. I went with them to the exam room and put my arm over Tayna’s shoulder. She immediately turned and started crying on my shoulder. Luna Kyra approached us and smiled at me, “Already a damn fine luna.” I sighed, “Thank you. I wish there was something I could do for Elena.” I told Tayna, “She has the best doctors in the state treating her. Her wolf is strong. She just needs to do some healing of her own.” Tayna stepped back and looked at me, “You can sense that?” I nodded, “Onyx recognized her wolf right away. She has been weakened, but she is not gone.” Tayna let out a breath of relief, “Zariah,
The guys ran after the human to disarm him while I linked Isaac, “Isaac! We’re in the mall parking lot and Alex has been shot! I need you to come quick and bring your dad!” Isaac, proving himself a wise mate, responded, “On my way.” I was busy trying to keep Alex’s eyes on mine as he writhed in pain. He cringed, “Silver bullet.” I shook my head, “Don’t you worry, Alex. Isaac and Alpha are on their way. Just stay awake. Okay?” He nodded, still cringing in pain. We heard another gunshot and I looked back at the girls. Tayna stood up, “I’ll go see what is going on.” She was only gone for less than a minute when she smiled, “Never mind. The situation is controlled. Apparently, they were able to get the gun away from him and they shot his foot.” Alex laughed and then groaned, which made the rest of us cringe. As soon as the guys arrived with our shooter, Isaac, Alpha Kenny and Gamma Axel showed up. Gamma Axel ran to Alex and I ran to Isaac, “This was awful. That human approached me in th
After I was ready to go, the guys were cleaning the kitchen and Isaac was standing in the living room with four warriors. I walked into the room and, without turning to be sure it was me, he held out his arm to pull me close to him. I have to admit, this was my favorite place to stand during hours that I was awake. Isaac explained, “Love, these warriors are some of our best and most trusted. They will be joining Alex as your protection detail at all times. This is Kevin, Jayla, Mike and Tayna. They are mated couples, so they don’t lose time with each other.” I smiled, “I like this idea! I’ll allow it.” My comment made everyone in the room laugh. I chuckled, “No, really, I do like this idea. I just hope that having to follow me around all the time won’t mess things up for all of you. Has Isaac told you this could go on for years?” Tayna replied, “He has, Zariah. We are all honored to serve you for life.” I gasped, “Are you sure? What if you have children?” Tayna and Jayla shook thei
Isaac jumped into action. He threw his hands up and held both hands with his palms facing the fountain, turning it into a huge ice sculpture. Isaac smiled, “Nothing like learning under pressure.” I laughed, “Oops.” Queen Winnie just shook her head, “That’s why we are out here. We need to learn your abilities and both of you need to learn how to control them.” I added, “I’m sure that is most helpful way to learn.” Isaac asked, “If I just visualize something, will it happen?” Queen Winnie replied, “It could, if you have the ability to use that element.” He closed his eyes and started moving his hands in a lifting motion. A strong gust of air blew under me and swept me off my feet. I was travelling around the clearing on my back. I started laughing when I came to a stop in front of him. Winnie laughed, “You did that well, Isaac. That was really good.” I asked, “Do you think you could do that on a mass scale?” He nodded, “I think so. We can try it on the warriors later.” I smiled, “Soun
We spent that day and the next making love in every position and every room in our house. We only took breaks to eat, drink or sleep. By the second morning, I was feeling very sore and needed a break. When Queen Winnie popped in while I was making breakfast, I sighed in relief, “Thank the Goddess you are here! I may be walking funny, but I am so happy to see you.” She laughed, “Rubbed you raw, did he?” I nodded, “But we couldn’t stop. It was crazy!” She smiled, “Oh, I wish I could have that feeling. I wouldn’t mind being rubbed raw once or twice.” I laughed, “It’s not very comfortable.” I finished making the waffles and I sat all the food on the table. I asked Queen Winnie, “You are staying for breakfast, aren’t you?” She smiled, “Why else would I be here early?” I set the table for three places just as Isaac walked into the room. He was looking and smelling extra yummy today. I had to look away because there was no way I could handle anything like that today. I desperately needed
When we reached our house, we got out of the car and Queen Winnie was standing on the porch. I looked at Isaac and chuckled as he let out a low growl. When I reached the porch, I asked, “Is there any chance we can have a couple days off?” She furrowed her brow and asked, “Why?” I answered with a suggestive expression, “The doctor cleared me for normal activity.” She looked at me with a confused expression. I laughed when I could see the light bulb above her head illuminate, “OH! Of course! I will be back the day after tomorrow. Isaac, be prepared to carve some time out of your schedule to train.” Isaac laughed, “I sure will. Thank you, Queen Winnie.” Winnie looked at me, “You are going to mark each other, right?” I nodded, “We are.” She smiled, “Perfect. I will see you both later then.” I laughed, “Thank you so much, Queen Winnie.” As soon as we were in the door, Isaac locked it then threw me over his shoulder and carried me to the bedroom while I laughed until my stomach hurt. He
I was released from the hospital two days later on the condition that I take it easy and rest for a week. The wolfsbane that had been in my system was finally gone, but it had drastically slowed the healing on my back. Onyx had only just barely healed the wounds, but I was definitely going to have scars. Isaac calls them my battle scars and he’s proud of how I’m handling it. I’m proud of the way he has been handling the trauma he sustained by seeing me like that. I know it bothered him. Queen Winnie and I were sitting on the porch to the pack house, watching some of the warriors train with Gamma Axel. I asked, “Does anyone need an attitude adjustment?” Gamma Axel gave us an evil laugh, “I actually do have one warrior who could use one.” After he pointed the warrior out to me, I concentrated on his thoughts and looked at Gamma Axel, “That man is so full of himself, there is no room for anyone else. It’s a wonder I was able to get in there at all.” Queen Winnie laughed out loud as Gam
I growled, “The bitch needs to die. So does her mate. He didn’t lay a hand on me, but he ordered my abduction.” Isaac growled, “Yes, she does need to die. He needs to die for causing it to happen in the first place.” Queen Winnie comforted me, “It will happen sweetie. I think your alpha has already ordered it. I have also released the luna from being controlled by the dark witches. She is still showing very little going on in her mind.” I added, “That may explain why the witches chose her to begin with.” Queen Winnie visited with us for a while and then left with the promise of continuing our training tomorrow. She explained, “There are things you can do while relaxing on your porch or the porch of the pack house.” I agreed completely before she gave me a hug, then hugged my mate, then popped out. I turned to Isaac, “She is such a sweetheart.” My mate laughed, “She’s funny as hell too.” I chuckled and then groaned as I rubbed my ribs, “Apparently, my ribs are not completely healed.
Zariah POV I was hurting worse than I ever have hurt before. The luna started whipping my back and I know it probably looks horrible. I could feel that it was shredded by the time she finished, but then she insisted that Nathan start. She nagged, “You will beat her into submission. Make her bow down to you.” He continued whipping me until there was no skin left to rip. He then poured wolfsbane into the wounds. I was doing my best to think of happier days during the whipping, and it did help. There was no way I was going to give them any indication of weakness. I managed to keep from screaming in pain when Onyx whimpered, “Let me take most of the pain. If I go away, I will be back. I will be healing myself. Okay?” I sighed, “Okay. Thanks, Onyx.” While he poured wolfsbane into my wounds, I let Onyx take the pain and she yelped, then whimpered, then retreated to the back of my mind. I immediately missed her presence when Nathan started kicking me in the stomach and face. I was sure th
