I made my way directly to the library with the present I had for Asher all nicely wrapped up, ready to be torn open. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. When I arrived at the library, no one was there. I sat there for a whole 20 minutes waiting for Mr. no show. I felt stupid for thinking he would actually come. I got dolled up for no reason at all. Maybe I’ll still meet my mate today. Then it won’t be for no reason. I got up from the table seat and went into the hall, hearing a lot of whispers regarding my new appearance. Some asking if I’m a new girl, others saying I’m trying too hard and others saying I look drop dead gorgeous. I didn’t know how to feel about myself. As I was wandering around the halls waiting for school to start, a smell hit me like a truck. It filled my lungs and took over my mind. It was the smell of after the rain had fallen. Petrichor. "Mate", I growled. I let the scent lead my feet to where my mate was. I was so excited and my palms are sweaty. It led me to the janitor’s closet and before I opened it I heard a moan. I put my ear to the door and heard shuffling. “Hurry Saige, I smell my mate, I can’t let her meet me like this.” I know that voice my heart skips a beat, fear and anger covers my heart like a blanket. It can’t be. It can’t be. There’s no way.
View MoreI cuddle into the warmth of my mate, smelling her scent. It has never grown to bore me but only grown stronger in my heart. As I get lost in her scent, a sudden frantic knock pulls me back to sanity.
I walked up quickly to the door to try my best not to wake my tired mate or my fresh newborn son who was born only hours ago. I exited quietly and shut the door behind me before I made eye contact with the very disturbed head warrior of my pack,
My heart started pumping quickly as I knew this man had seen a lot in his life and very few things could disturb him as such. ‘What is the matter, Damion”. I asked wearily.
His eyes seem like they are searching for the right answers but not finding the words to describe what’s wrong.“Alpha Caleb, just follow me please.” He sounds defeated.
I hurry behind him as he leads me outside and to the Pack Gates. As we reached the Gates, I heard that sound that broke my heart in half. “A baby?’ I asked him with my eyes wide. “Is it a family that is in need of shelter?” I asked him, not knowing I was far from right.
“No Alpha.” He seemed so secretive. The crying continued but it wasn’t a normal baby cry. It was a saddened cry. A loud, prolonged, mournful cry. One to make any mother's heart shatter.
As the gates screeched opening wide, I saw the basket in the middle of the road. The child was just left there for death or rescue which ever were to come first. I gulp the knot that formed in my throat at this sad sight.
I looked at my men in horror. ‘Well any sign of the mother?” I asked with urgency. “No Sir, there is no scent and no tracks and no one was spotted dropping the baby off” They said with their heads down and with pity towards this child.
I walk up to the baby to maybe catch a scent of the mother but there is nothing. I do smell that the child is of wolf blood. As I look at the sweet child just lost and looking for love. I saw a note on her. “Accept me?” The note stated.
I took hold of the child and walked back inside the open gates and towards the pack house. The clouds were waging war against one another in the sky giving off loud bangs, but the baby just stared up to look at the streaks of lightning dancing between the chaos.
“Knock, Knock, Knock”. I stood there waiting a while till I saw the lights go on inside and the door opened slowly revealing a barely awake Rylan. My Beta. “What may I help you with Alpha Caleb?” His eyes widened in shock but quickly turned into a huge and proud smile.
“Congratulations on your new ba..” I cut him off before he could continue.” Thank you for your care and kindness Rylan, But.. .’ I slowly look down towards the child in my arms. ‘This child is not mine she was left at the border gates and with no parent or anyone traced only with a note saying accept me? So…”
Before I could finish his Mate Celeste ran to the door with the excitement a child would have on Christmas.
They’ve been struggling to conceive another after the birth of their first daughter. Me and Rylan have been best friends all my life, so I knew him and he knew me. My other chosen half not one destined by the moon but destined by the pack as brothers in ruling.
Celeste slowly took the baby from my arms, holding the child near her chest. I then knew she was safe. “We will name her Scarlet’ she said, and continued back to her room. “Thank you Caleb”, Rylan said with a tear almost gliding down his cheek. Maybe this was the moon goddess’s gift to them.
“Oh by the way, thank you for the congratulations. Asher was born just 2 hours ago, so your efforts weren’t in vain.” This time his smile got even brighter. “Goodnight Rylan.” I said before going back to my mate.
As I feared, she was sitting up in bed waiting for me. I couldn’t hide anything from her. “Where did you disappear to?” she asked with an eyebrow arched in judgement.
“Well, a baby was left at our gates. So I asked Rylan and Celeste to take her in as their own.”
Jealousy was prominent in her eyes. “Why didn’t you bring her to me, why couldn’t we keep her’ she said pouting. “Well do you think we could handle both?” I said slowly turning my head to the baby crib in the room with our new born Asher in sleeping peaceful.
“You’ve got a point” she said in defeat. Leaning back onto the headboard, Who knows, maybe she might turn out to be Asher’s mate.”
18 years later:We danced away under the moonlight after getting away from all the drama, tears and hormones that seemed to flood the pack hall.It was mating ball season again and honestly it was overwhelming each year.So Lucian and I had our own little tradition to escape all the chaos and just enjoy ourselves under the moonlight dancing away all the worries that might have crowded up leading to this massive event. This year had been more stressful than all the years before since we were hosting the mate ball.It was allot of planning and a lot of irritating young she wolves that wanted to convince me about being my sons mate and if not that they would make the perfect Luna for the pack.That they would be the best option. But what had worried me most was the fear of my son experiencing the same thing I experienced the day I thought I met my mate“As per usual the two live birds have sneaked away from the party” I heard Riley’s voice in from behind me. “You’d thought that the hos
− I sat in my room staring at the crib where Xander laid fast asleep. I kept listening to his soft breathing just to make sure he is ok. I heard a sparkling sound and soon the moon goddess appeared next to his crib. Her face was filled with love and care.She put her hand on his cheek and a smile spread across his face. I guess he was dreaming about milk or cuddles since he didn’t know much else.“This is the future rules of mount Olympus and I think that’s you are the perfect mother to raise him. Cherish him. And love him.” She said in a whisper.She then walked over to me and cupped my cheek. “I am proud of you my child you have conquered what others would deem impossible. And you turned out to be a great and strong young Luna.When you lay on your death bed of this life I will come fetch you and your mate to take up your place as the rulers of mount Olympus until Xander breathes his last breath. Until then I will keep your seat nice and warm” She said in a caring tone before kis
Days have passed after Riley’s initiation. She has thanked me more times than what was needed.I still felt a bit awkward as my memories drew back to the time when I wandered her mind. That door of intimacy that I could feel Lucian was a part of.I knew it was something of the past and wouldn’t blame him for what had happened but what would bother me was if he lied about it. He told me nothing ever happened between the two of them.I sat at in the pack cafeteria scanning over the large crowd of my pack members all sitting and chatting as they shove food down to their hungry stomachs.Others cheered as they knocked their beer cans onto one another in celebration.Then I spotted Riley sitting among a bunch of she wolfs al who were in awe of little dawn.Her beauty was definitely something to catch the eyes of all around even at such a young age.I then slowly moved my eyes over to my mate whom was sitting next to me drinking a glass of orange juice.When his eyes met mine he placed his
“What was that all about” I heard that husky handsome voice ask beside my ear, making my legs wobble as his breath touched my neck.“Whatever do you mean Alpha” I said turning to face him keeping eye contact, showing no fear.I could see the lust swimming angrily within his eyes. He straightened out his posture and places his hands behind his back. “Out” he demanded with his alpha aura spreading across the room.Layla and Damian disappeared so quickly out of our sights and in a blink of an eye I heard the elevator doors open and close.A smile grin crept up onto Lucian’s lips. Plaguing them with all the dirty thoughts wondering within his mind as well as mine.He took a step closer to me and at this point I was looking up at him my chin almost touching his chest and my breath heavy just thinking about what may follow.The small distance between us was killing me. It was just enough for us to barely touch but not enough to ease the warmth that lingered between my legs.The warmth that
It’s been days since I’ve gotten out of my own prison. It’s been both heartbreaking and warming at the same time.My mother hasn’t reached out to me yet and although my father has been coming around every day to check up on both me and his grandsons wellbeing my mother hasn’t come at all.My father kept saying that it’s not because she doesn’t love me or care for me but she is mourning.I knew he was right and honestly I loved her and understood where she was coming from. Losing your child at the hands of your other child is hard to wrap your mind around.My pack however congratulated me on defeating our enemy all by myself.I gained a lot of respect from all of the high ranking warriors of our pack including our gamma which in return made me proud of myself too.Although most of it was my wolf without her we would’ve probably still been stuck within a big mess.I blew over my steaming hot coffee looking out over the Los angles view from our living room.I sat snug in my mates lap lea
Scarlet:“Scarlet” I heard my mom’s voice call out to me I lifted my head from my knees and scanned the waters that laid just below my toes. I didn’t see her at all so I just automatically assumed it was in my all in my head.I prepared myself for the next scene of her shouting and screaming at me for killing her only daughter and hating me for it. “Scarlet” I heard her voice once more call out to me. It was soft and gentle. A caring tone filled with worry.“Come back to me, my dear.”I looked down at the water before me and saw her worried face reflecting from it. Her eyes were sad and the bags under them seemed like the same endless darkness that plagued my heart. “It wasn’t your fault dear” Her voice cracked at the word fault. I could only think that she was recalling the moment she saw Saige dead in the woods. “Scarlet darling”My father stepped closer, placing his arm around my mother’s waist pulling her into his chest whilst she wept.A tear streamed down my cheek filled w
