last update Last Updated: 2025-04-07 16:32:39

When I had played with the idea of going shopping with Polly, the one thing which caused me to ask myself if I should sacrifice my mental sanity was how many shops she’d want to visit and the number of items she wanted to buy. Now having experienced the shopping experience with Polly, I have come to realise that my reservations surrounding the whole idea were beyond reasonable.

We’d been in the packs town area for six hours, I had been dragged to more shops than I like to believe existed, now because the shopping experience was in order for me to update my wardrobe, the amount of clothing I had been forced to try on was more than I’d believed I’ve ever worn in my entire life and that is not an exaggeration, my feet ached from the amount of standing and walking I had done and my arms didn’t feel that much better either. Thankfully, the driver who had brought us here took the bags full of my new clothing back to the car and was dropping it off to Albans for us, my only fear was now Po

    Alban at first didn’t reply to my mind-link, leaving me to lay on my back in an old changing room, my sweat dripping into the old and dirty purple carpet, I wouldn’t be surprised if a permanent indentation of my body would be printed deep into the fabric once I finally, peeled myself from it. “Alban I’m scared, please talk to me.” I sent yet another mind-link to him when I had yet to get reply, the pain in my voice mixed with fear soon translated into my voice, where had Polly gone?! “I apologise for not responding, I was coordinating with my mother and some of the fighters with the best solution to ensure you arrive home safety without any male attempting to take advantage. I am sorry I am not there with you sweetheart, but I am getting you home as swiftly as I can.” He soon responded seeming to sense the fear in my voice as his mother, holding three bottles of water in her hands reenters the changing room. “Iris hunny, I have spoken with Alban, and we have a car with a mated m

    Intense ringing from my ears snaps me out of whatever trance I was in, my eyes were a still closed and my body seeming to heat up swiftly now I was regaining consciousness. As the ringing subsided slightly, the sounds from around me began to morph in and out of focus, now it wasn’t only Polly’s voice I could hear, but another male, one I soon realised was Alban. “What the fuck happened?!” His angry but also, tense voice shouts from somewhere around me, due to which state I was currently laying in because of somebody’s lack of brains, his voice sent my body haywire and longed for me to rush into his arms and take the pain away. “I don’t know! She was walking one minute than all of a sudden, she passes out and before I could catch her, she tumbles down the stairs!” Polly exclaimed seeming to shake me a little as though that was going to wake me up, even though I was slowly coming around with my body starting to drip with unbelievable sweat, I was yet to fully grasp the world at the

    The room slipped into a tense silence once that sentence left my lips, Alban and my eyes locked onto each other with his searching mine to see if there was any hint of hesitation in my eyes. But as I lay on the floor, I knew I wanted it to happen not to only take the pain I was experiencing in this moment away, but I was ready to reclaim my life again. After learning of what Max had done to me, it was as though my entire life had been brought to some kind of standstill, all I thought I knew about myself and the confidence that I believed I held was taken from me. But if I did this one thing that Max couldn’t fully do, have my mate fully claim me in this moment, I would put an end to what he did, Alban and his presence would rid any scrap of Max from me, he’d hold not a single ounce of power over me. “You must be sure Iris, if we begin and you have second thoughts, in this state with my wolf, I do not believe I’d be able do stop myself until it is complete.” Alban warned me with

    The brightest light of the sun streaming through the curtains and hitting my eyes stirs me from my sleep, opening up my eyes having to squint a little in hopes of adjusting to the light I sat there for a moment attempting to come to with world again. After a moment, I take a look down and find an arm wrapped around my body, confused a little I follow the arm and couldn’t help the smile forming on my face once I spotted our interlocked fingers, memories of yesterday soon played out in my mind where I couldn’t help but blush and smile at the memory. There were many times before that point I wondered if I’d ever be ready, but now as I lay safely in my mates arms the morning after, I felt as though I was safe and belonged. Turning around a little to see if he was awake, I discover his eyes were still closed and his breath slow allowing me to realise he was still asleep, leaning up and placing a kiss on his nose before beginning to attempt to free myself from his grasp and climb out of b

    Once I had pulled Alban away from my body long enough to get changed and leave the house, we both went to see the hounds who were more than excited to see me. I hated going even an afternoon without seeing them, while I was looking after them at The Full Moon Pack, they did become like my children in a sense, so I do find myself getting protective and worried about them when I have to be away. They also were able to sense that Alban and I were now fully mated, not only because they would have felt the shift in the air the same moment all the pack members did but they can now smell my full scent change. Alban and I now smell even more like each other than before, our scents have fully mixed with one another allowing anyone to smell that we were both mated to someone. After sorting the hounds and ensuring they had enough food and water for the day, Alban and I walk hand in hand through the woods back towards the pack house. A smile sat on both of our faces as we spoke about my Luna

    The air grew tense in that moment, Alban looked as though he wanted to pounce at Malcom in that moment while Malcom, attempted to hide the fear in his eyes but it was clear by the way his body shook a little. Where I was left in the middle looking between each man hoping the event back in the woods wouldn’t continue in this moment. “Of course, not sir, Iris and I were simply catching up since it’s been some time.” Malcolm said with a look of nervousness on his face as he spoke but for Alban, he seemed deeply annoyed. “You will address my mate as Luna, she is no longer a regular pack member you can take deep into woods at night to engage in outlandish parties. I believe you are scheduled to begin your patrols are you not, I was under the impression that you had changed your ways when you began your training, was I wrong in my assumption?” Alban asked not too pleased that Malcolm had addressed me by my name without the title of Luna, only family and close friends of mine are to addr

    Once breakfast had concluded which was much less embarrassing than I was expecting, I thought they’d all have questions or would look at us with wiggling eyebrows knowing what we did. But it was the opposite, everyone was more interested in the arrangements for my Luna ceremony, Polly insisting that I allow her and my mother to sort the décor and finishes. I was quick to allow them as I had so much more going around my brain that the Luna ceremony was certainly not a priority. My father and Albans soon dismissed themselves to go golfing, Lincoln had to rush off to another pack for some important meeting whilst my mother and Polly began to arrange the plans for the ceremony. “Would you like to join us hunny?” My mother asked turning to look at me with a smile, whilst I simply pushed my chair under the table shaking my head. “I would love to but I’m meeting an old friend of mine to catch up.” I smiled having to mentally remember what route I had to take to arrive at the old drawin

    As soon as I showed Malcom that I had known all along what he wanted from me, I witnessed his differing emotions switch up right in front of me. At first, he was full of nothing but shock, to him, he and his group of friends had been keeping this secret under lock a key, not a single person they didn’t want to find out could. But now me, someone who had only returned to the pack a few weeks ago was able to catch wind, it didn’t make sense. The next emotion to display was his confusion, how could I have found it all out and if I knew about it, could other people such as Alban know? With that question it was deep fear which looked back at me. “How… how do you know?” He asked pointing towards me a little while I sighed, I didn’t know if I wanted to disclose the training I’d received, what if he asked me to help with what they wanted with a more hands-on roll?! “I hate when Alban says this to me, but I think it’s a useful saying here, I know most things that happen around this place

    Sparks spreading throughout my face gently pulls me out of my sleeping state, after all that happened yesterday and the late hour that I managed to fall asleep, the last thing I wanted to do was wake up in that moment and attempted to ignore it all. Until long kisses were placed along my jaw and neck snapping my eyes open in a second, Alban lay on my chest with a smile on his face watching me. “Glad of you to join me.” Alban smiled his voice deep from sleep whilst I rolled my eyes at his comment before attempting to fall back into dreamland. “Five more minutes.” I groan sinking my face further into the pillow in hopes of blocking the rest of the noise out, I was still very much exhausted from the party and everything in between. “I would always opt to remain in bed tangled up with you but wasn’t it you who said we had a lot to get done today, with your Luna duties and whatever it is you are planning?” Alban asked with a chuckle at my desire to fall back to sleep, where each and

    Using the rush of adrenaline and anger that I felt for what these assholes did to my mate, I grab the first who attempted to throw an arrow at me and claw at his neck until he landed dead on the floor. With such a swift kill, I saw his friends look at me a little shocked before getting to action, one man ran at me with a sword of his own, which I managed to kick out of his hand and plunge Samuel’s dagger right into his chest, moving it up so it caused the most damage, I kick him back and allow him to bleed out alone. One by one each man attempted to take me down, but were met with my anger filled hits and bites, as I ripped each man apart, grabbing one man by the scruff of hid neck, I smashed his head so hard off a tree, the old wooden tree fell to the floor with his head bedded inside. When my back was turned, one man grabbed me and attempted to slit my throat, but what ease, I break all the fingers in his hand and throw him over my shoulder, using his own weapon to impale him as

    Polly’s huge brown wolf began growling in uncontrollable anger, its midnight black eyes indicating to us that Polly was no longer the person pulling the strings, her wolf had taken full control and was more than willing to rip apart anyone who came close to her. I remained behind Alban, his entire body shielding mine from the danger as my hand gripped his shoulder, Lincoln stood off to the side in his Beta pose preparing for an attack the wolf might unleash on him. Russell had moved off to the side a little assessing the situation and seeing if he could find a way around it while Samual, who had attempted to hurt Polly, lay by a tree unconscious. “What are we going to do?” I whispered gripping onto Alban’s shoulder for dear life, the way Polly’s wolf prowled was evident of how dangerous it was, she truly had nothing to lose and that’s the most dangerous thing. “Whatever happens, that wolf isn’t going to quit until it’s forced to.” Lincoln said walking sideways but ensuring not t

    The already dead and dark wood slipped into even more deafening silence as each person attempted to understand what Alban had just said, I didn’t know if this was him also attempting to pull the wool over Samuel’s eyes as he just watched Russell do, or he was serious, but I was left watching my mate more unsure than anything. “You ain’t gonna fool me Alpha, I wasn’t born yesterday, even though you’re my younger brother and you’re one of the only people I love, I don’t trust you. Polly is your mother also and someone as I have seen, you put over everyone else’s safety to help.” Samual scoffed shaking his head at his brother not seeming to fall for Alban’s tricks, who simply shook his head with a sigh staring at Polly who shook with fear behind him. “That was once the truth, I admit I have witnessed the way in which mother treats the pack members and simply believed that is how a Luna runs her pack. But that was all before I was able to see how my mate does, she feels nothing but lo

    My breath came out sharp and fast as I squeezed so hard onto that tree branch, my legs crossing over one another praying that the branch would hold my weight a little longer. But it wasn’t just me who could be out in the open, Russell lay on the floor right at the base of the tree with the snapped rope behind him, Samual continuing to take steps closer to the tree and him. It wouldn’t take him much to spot Russell sat in a heap by the tree with the rope and connect the dots and spot me dangling on a branch, we of course had the training to stop him but with that blade and the amount of harmful substances around him, we couldn’t risk so much going wrong. That’s also something we were taught in training, of course you do not show any fear when going into battle and trust your instincts and training, but don’t simply walk into each situation looking for a fight. If you are to just face each battle the same way, that would be deadly. No two individuals are the same which would also me

    Following behind Russell who held the map in his hands, we continue deep into the dark but also, eerily silent wood. I didn’t know if it was because I knew who was hiding within the thick trees with his dangerous plot or the time of night butI felt myself draw closer to Alban a little more, worried for not only Polly’s life but also, ours too. Alban realised this and didn’t seem to mind wrapping his arm around me, even though Russell was slowly proving himself as trustful with the help, with what he had done not hours before, it was clear he would much rather Russell had remained in that dungeon and him think of the most awful of punishments he could bestow upon him. “Alright, they’re around a mile ahead.” Russell informed us all but this time, kept his voice down in case Samual was close by waiting for Alban to send some men to stop it. “What’s the plan?” Lincoln asked also keeping his voice down but ensuring his eyes snapped from side to side surrounding us, we didn’t need a s

    Once everything that I’d asked for was lay before me on the table and I was now out of my beautiful but dirty dress from the party and into some fresh clothes, I watch as Russell began to brew the first concoction which was going to help us locate Polly. Richard, who hadn’t woken up since his fight with a table was taken by my parents to the hospital to make sure he didn’t have any injures whilst Lincoln and Alban both waited behind me, both still dressed in their suits from the party which now after everything, seems like days ago. I could feel and see that Alban wasn’t the happiest of Alpha’s in this moment, the guy he had seen fighting me was now stood right beside him working away as though nothing was amiss. “Alright the hyper focus antidote which you are to drink is almost done brewing, now with the information of what you were able to see in that bag is pointing towards a poison called The Death Watcher, it’s given that name as it’s deadly, anyone who drinks that will die i

    Russell soon holds my eye contact seeming to know instinctively, what was going around my head in that moment. Russell and I spent everyday with each other at The Full Moon Pack, learning from Bennett what he wanted from us and the tasks that we were given. I was not the only person from another pack which Bennett was training, when I first arrived at The Full Moon Pack, there were around twenty others who had been sent away by their Alpha’s in hopes of receiving life changing training. But one by one, each begin to leave and head home, the training was not for the faint of heart and after begging their Alpha’s, they were given the green light to leave. Something at the time I wished Richard would have allowed but he never did, by the end of that first year, it was only Russell, and I left in the program. This meant we were forced to lean on each other whenever the training became too demanding, I would try and speak to Max, but he’d never understand where I was coming from as his

    Now I knew Russell was on his way and he may understand what I was trying to say more than anyone, I lay in my state a lot calmer than before. My parents had moved over to Richard to check his injures, he hadn’t moved since he fell through the table, and I think they worried he was dead. Lincoln did what he always does when he’s nervous, he paced up and down the room with his hands on his hips waiting impatiently, for the guards to bring Russell. Whilst Alban remained with me on the floor, my head still in his lap as his hand ran through my hair, I knew he wanted to keep a brave face as he was the Alpha and he’d chosen for all this to happen, but I could see in his eyes how upset he was about to become if we couldn’t stop Samual in time. Breaking the worried silence which seemed to cling to each wall, the doors open once again but this time instead of me getting held by people, it was Russel who was dragged in, chains around his hands and feet as two guards held onto him. “The p
