She regarded him as a new threat, sizing him up with her shocking gaze, calculating the risk he posed to her freedom. His charcoal-colored coat stood out against the white of their surroundings, and his amber eyes almost looked at her with an almost pleading expression, but what was he pleading for?

Once she’d decided he posed no immediate threat she inched toward him, still on the defense, but as she drank him in, his taller, more muscular build, the sharpness of his claws, the unease at which he surveyed her, she approached him with caution, but still even as they grew closer there was no hint of recognition in her eyes.

It was clear to Aiden that the wolf was in control and had pushed her human mind, the mind that would have recognized him even in this form, the logical thinking mind, to the back and concealed it away from the real world, and reaching the human part of Alexa, who was buried deep within her mind’s eye would be the most difficult task he’d have to face, barring she

  • Monkshood - One With The Wolf    Chapter 23 - Disappointment or Setback

    ‘Damn it!’ the scream echoed through the seemingly abandoned mansion, closely followed by the sound of glass shattering. A dark red liquid dripped ominously from the remains of what once had been a crystal whiskey glass. Staining both the wall it had been shattered against, and the carpet directly beneath said wall, now littered with glittering glass shards, as if millions of tiny diamonds had been scattered across the expensive hotel room. Those glass remnants glinted almost hauntingly in the dancing flames from his hotel room fireplace; the light could almost be described as beautiful if he'd still had a heart to appreciate such things, but alas, he was as empty as the metaphorical tomb which had once housed his soul. Nothing but desolate echoes where his human emotions had once ruled his every whim. No, all that now remained was his deep, unsatiated hunger and an even deeper need to satisfy his revenge. The once calm atmosphere of his temporary den was now filled with a suffocat

  • Monkshood - One With The Wolf    Chapter 22 - Pandemonium

    ‘Vampires!’ Bile rose in the back of her throat, which she quickly forced back down with a forceful swallow. Her hands trembled with anxiety as her heart raced within the confines of her chest. A red flush spread from her cheeks to her neck as her blue eyes darted back and forth, her mind racing with the crushing weight of her thoughts. No, no, no it couldn't be happening, not again, she thought, desperately trying to keep her emotions to herself, and knowing she had failed when she sensed Aiden’s concern brush across the non-existent barrier, she had failed to erect between them and their soul bond. Why? Why was it happening again? Why now?The questions rattled in her brain, and she tried to keep her composure, now was not the time to lose her shit, she reminded herself. She wasn’t that weak, defenseless human anymore. She was a strong and powerful werewolf, SHE was an Alpha, and she’d be damned if she let her fear rule her actions any longer. ‘Let’s go,’ she ordered, standing up

  • Monkshood - One With The Wolf    Chapter 21 - Witching 101

    Jayden watched him walk away until she could no longer see his large form. But before she could dwell deeper into the shame that consumed her heart, her phone beeped, reminding her of the time and her original purpose for the day. Jayden hiked the spell books into her arms, which quaked from the emotional turmoil she had experienced with that one very brief encounter with Aiden Black, son of the Beta of the Pine Hills werewolf pack, and mate to her one and only truest friend and cousin. He was right, of course, she knew that. But just because he said her innermost fears out loud didn’t mean she was ready to face the consequences her actions these past six months have created. She wasn’t ready to see the look of hurt and betrayal in her dearest friend’s eyes when she learned the secrets she so sacredly kept in the confines of her heart. The brunette squashed down her feelings, as whispers of concern not her own flitted into the recesses of her mind, reminding her that her feelings w

  • Monkshood - One With The Wolf    Chapter 20 - Discussion of Guilt

    Two hours earlier… ‘Jayden!’The sound of Aiden's voice sent the former witch into a mild panic, as her body tensed, and her heart began hammering in the confines of her chest. Without so much as a backward glance, she increased the length of her sides, her face contorted in a stiff but alarmed facade. In her attempt to make an escape she ducked behind the first building she saw, feigning deafness as the werewolf continued to call out for her, but she was only human after all, and thus easily caught. Before she could feel the relief of freedom she felt a large, rough hand clamp around her upper arm, pulling her to an abrupt stop with such force she lost her balance and all the books she had been carrying tumbled to the floor with an audible thud, and sending her heart slipping into the pit of her stomach along with them, as her escape was effectively thwarted. ‘I know you heard me, I can hear your heart racing,’ Damn werewolf hearing! She cursed, there was never a moment she could

  • Monkshood - One With The Wolf    Chapter 19 - Alpha School

    ‘Sigh……’ Boredom … the sheer tedium she felt was almost as suffocating as the impossibly large tomes scattered across the mahogany desk before her. Her back protested in complaint at the abuse it had to endure as she slumped over the said tomes in a desperate attempt to absorb a fraction of their knowledge whilst unempathetic eyes bore down on her from above the edges of a newspaper. Not for the first time that day, Alexa found herself wondering how she had wound up in such a situation. With a groan, she leaned back into the leather chair which provided no comfort after having sat in it for so long, and stretched, the sound her vertebrae made as if snapped echoed in the silent room. Her eyes met the disapproving gaze of her captor, ah she means tutor, and bashfully she returned to her previous position, fighting off the need to yawn. Looking back at the words in the aged book made her groan internally once more. Now she remembered how she had been dragged into this hellish study ses

  • Monkshood - One With The Wolf    Chapter 18 - An Old Nemesis

    With an idea firmly planted in her mind she took another moment to compose herself, her insidious plan bouncing around her head as she gleefully and expertly pulled a compact mirror out from the small sequined clutch purse she had somehow managed to hold onto throughout her ordeal with the redheaded Alpha. She nearly let out another shriek at the state of her appearance. Annoyance caused her face to contort, finally revealing her true nature beneath the beauty she took so much pride in. With a barely calming breath she studied the twisted smudged makeup, mascara tracks that had hideously run down her cheeks, even her lipstick had smudged across her chin, from what she couldn’t be sure, but the look she had worked so hard on that morning was completely ruined. She was a sore sight to look at, and Vanessa could not have that, she had an image to uphold after all. From that same clutch she pulled a makeup wipe and proceeded to clean her face, removing any sign of her weakness, of her f
