DUSTINHer dark hair swayed in the wind as she sat on the grass, somehow it seemed greener, more luscious where she was sat, as though her very presence was affecting it.As much as I loved being here, with her. I knew that soon, I would have to go back.As an alpha, my worry for my pack was increasing by the day, and as much as I wanted to go down to check on them, I knew that there was no way that I could leave her. Not now, not when she had finally accepted me and we were getting somewhere. I had lost her once and I wouldn't do that again.Word had spread that both myself and my beta were gone from my pack. I had been gone for weeks and who knew when I would be back, and my beta was dead. Not that he deserved to be alive considering the wretched thoughts he had concerning Cassandra's death.It was an internal debate I was having, to go back, or not go back.I knew what the right thing to do was, if I left for just a few days I would have time to sort out pack business and put someo
DUSTINChase and Dawn continued to stare at me in complete shock, their eyes giving away their fear at what had just happened."What the heck just happened?" Dawn spluttered."That was my mate." I told them truthfully, narrowing my eyes as their own eyes widened in shock. "What?" I growled at their response."Let me get this straight, Alpha Veronica... is your mate? As in your life-partner?" Dawn asked."Yes.""Cool." Chase grinned, "She seems 'right"I shook my head, Chase had always been a good friend to me. Trust him to be okay with it.We walked back to the pack house, many pack members widened their eyes at me, shocked to see me again. How long had it been since I had last seen them?And I would no longer see these people. With that realization, each pack member I saw I would stare at with interest, memorizing each individual crevice on their faces. It was difficult, it was no where near as easy to picture their faces than it was Cassandra's. But It was important to me to do so.
For the first time in what seemed like forever, I was dreaming.I knew this, because despite the slight change in scenery, I could still feel the warmth of multiple blankets and Dustin's arms wrapped around me, along with his presence in the back of my mind, providing a form of comfort.I wasn't having one of my usual nightmares, I was with him.We were sat on a large patch of grass, a place that I didn't know, yet it fit in perfectly with the scenery provided by my packs land, I gently ran my fingers through the textured ground, tugging on the silky strands of luscious grass as we spoke, my eyes constantly interlocked with his.It was what you might call a meaningless conversation, there was no particular topic, we just spoke of whatever came to mind.And then a small force slammed into me, I kept upright, only slightly nudged by the warm being.I looked down to see a young child with her hands wrapped around my waist.She had plaited golden blonde hair with big blue eyes, her cheeks
I could feel us both panting heavily as we stared at each other."Is this okay?" He mumbled, going back to kiss me."Yes," I replied, an edge of confusion to my voice, but I didn't really care, I was too caught up in the moment."I just don't want to rush you into any new experiences." He said, gently kissing my neck where his mark was.It was hard to concentrate when he did that, but I caught onto his words quickly.I stopped him then, "What are you talking about?"He gave me a slight smile, I could almost tell from the look he gave me that he thought I was a virgin."Your innocence." He replied.There it was."Dustin..." I sighed, "I'm not a virgin."He froze then, "What?" He asked in disbelief.I could see in his eyes that he desperately wanted for that not to be true.His hands tightened around my waist, unconsciously bringing me closer as his jealously got the better of him."I said I'm not a—"He cut me off, "I heard what you said," He replied, his breathing suddenly laboured.H
I stood with my arms crossed in front of me, staring at my pack. Dustin stood by my side, though slightly behind me, he was not yet an alpha.Today, the new Alpha and Luna of Nightblood pack were coming to introduce themselves to us."Alpha Memphus and Luna Rose of Nightblood will be visiting today," I announced, "They will not be here long, and will only be here to speak to me, so you do not need to be worried."There were a few murmurs throughout the gathered pack, but nobody seemed particularly worried about it, just curious. I smiled at that, it was nice to see the faith they had in themselves as a pack.When they arrived, the entire pack was still gathered towards the back of the pack lands, it must seem isolated to them.Myself and Dustin made our way to the pack house, going in through the back door.We waited by the door, and they took their time coming up, by which point I was getting impatient. Just when I sensed that they were right by the door, I opened it, much to their s
We sat in the back of a dark car, about as apart as you can get when you have to sit next to each other. We were on our way to the Grey Tooth pack to discuss an alliance.I had met the alpha before, he was very arrogant and full of himself but he knew he couldn't take me on, wolves often sensed something dark about me, and tended to avoid me because of it. They would rather be allies than enemies.Despite the silence Dustin had been giving me, he demanded to come with me after hearing that the alpha was not mated. I was trying my best to ignore the fact he wasn't talking to me, but on the inside it was killing me. I might not act like it, but I really did care.I knew I deserved it though, it wasn't fair of me to tease Dustin like I had been, it was just that I didn't know how else to act around him, I wasn't really sure how to deal with my feelings.The journey was long and silent, a pack member was driving us there. But they were separated from us by a partition.When we finally arr
I stood across from a door, an ordinary door, there was nothing special about it. It was what was behind that mattered."Dustin?" I called out, for the 10th time. I sighed when I heard no reply, and slid down to the ground by his door.I had really messed up this time.And though his ignoring me was a clear sign that he was mad at me, it wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that I could feel it. I could feel him hurting, right in my chest and god it was awful.He was hurting badly.Maybe I was too.I wasn't sure how many times I had come by, always hoping he would change his mind and open the door. But it never happened. It didn't matter how long I was there for, how many times I called his name. Nothing.With a sigh, I brought myself to my feet, leaning my forehead against the door for a moment before turning away.I didn't exactly want to admit it, but there may have been a small tear that ran down my cheek.I didn't know what to do.Sure, I'd been in arguments with him before
Reluctantly, I lifted my head from his chest, meeting him in the eye without saying a word. After a moment I sighed, looking away. "We have a pack meeting.""Okay." He said, "Do you want me to stay here?""No," I shook my head. And I gently took him by the hand and led him out of the room."If you're going to be a part of this pack I have to introduce you to them, along with Chase and Dawn." I told him, I had already informed them all of what would be happening, they should all be gathered at the meeting place.As wolves, we weren't exactly cold. So the snow didn't bother us, we could have meetings outside and it wouldn't matter.So we made our way to the meeting place, myself and Dustin climbed up on top of the 'stage' which in reality, was just a rather large, flat boulder.Chase and Dawn were stood towards the back of it, following my instructions to stand there, Dustin made a move to stand with them but I tightened my grip on his hand, forcing him to have to stand next to me, faci
