LOGINFIVE YEARS LATER“Easy there, Oli! You’re going to hurt yourself,” Dana called out as she chased after the little girl running around the house, jumping off the couch and leaping onto the floor.“Let her be, sweetheart. It’s obvious she just wants to have some fun,” Marcus’s voice came from behind as he walked into the living room, a smile spreading across his face at the sight of his daughter.“Daddy!” little Olivia squealed, her tiny legs carrying her as fast as they could toward him.Marcus chuckled, crouching down just in time to scoop her into his arms.“Who’s my baby girl? You are… you’re my baby girl,” he murmured, gently tugging at her cheeks before lifting her up and spinning her around.Olivia giggled, her laughter filling the room as her father twirled her before pulling her close against his chest.“I’m starting to wonder if I’m really her mother. She never listens to anyone but you,” Dana said with a pout as Marcus walked over and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.“Don’t
“Fuck!” Marcus cursed the moment he saw them approaching from the distance, hundreds of wolves, growling and ready for battle.Assemble every warrior we have. We’re under attack, he ordered Aaron through the mindlink, his eyes flashing as he turned to Dana.But to his surprise, she had already shifted into her silver wolf. An anguished howl tore from her throat as she charged straight into the chaos.“Dee, wait…” Marcus yelled, watching her sprint ahead, but she was either too consumed by rage or simply chose to ignore him.“Fuck!” he cursed again, shifting into his wolf form before launching after her, charging straight toward the Frey.Across the battlefield, Dominik watched as she approach, and smiled.His crimson eyes gleamed as she closed the distance, her killing intent rolling off her in waves. Yet he made no move to shift, his grin only widening, as if this was the moment he had been waiting for all along.He had believed marking her would break her… make her weak, restless… d
Marcus’s heart skipped a beat, those words resonating in his head. He cupped her face, leaning down he kissed her so tenderly it made her breath catch in her throat.Never had his Iips moved so gently against hers, no Iost or desire was fuelling it, it was an innocent yet loving kiss full of passion and emotion.She kissed him back until she was nearly out of breath.“I love you more, Dee, so fucking much,” he said, smiling at her.Dana’s cheeks went red as she turned to his mark, her heart skipping a beat to see the wound had healed up. In its place was a tattoo of a wolf with a flower on its lips, the mark itself looked like it was shimmering a silver grey. Her wolf, her mark.She traced her finger over it, sending a shiver of pleasure through him."It looks good on you." She said."Oh yeah? Can't wait to mark you too." He said pulling her close, and kissing her neck softly."I know." Dana said wincing. "I’m looking forward to it,”With that, they went outside to join the rest of t
Dana stepped into the surrounding, her heart pounding so loudly she was sure everyone could hear it. The energy of the ceremony pressed in from all sides… laughter, music, scents, all blending under the Blood Moon sky.Beside her, Maddie suddenly froze, her fingers tightening around Dana’s hand."My mate.." She whispered. Dana’s eyes widened looking at Maddie who was scanning the crowds. A tall handsome guy with blond hair in a black tailored suit and deep blue eyes stepped towards them, his eyes widening as he looked at Maddie."Mate." He said softly, his eyes flashing when he saw the girls intertwined hands. "Mine." He growled, making Dana pull free and raise her hand in surrender.She was very happy to say the least, her best friend had actually found her mate. She looked at Maddie, who was already grinning uncontrollably, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the man in front of her.“Hi, I’m Ethan,” he said, extending his hand.Maddie’s cheeks flushed instantly. “Uhh… Madeline. Bu
Later in the evening, it was finally time for the ceremony to start. Since it was being held at the Dark Storm Pack, members from various packs had travelled far and wide to attend, all hoping to find their fated mates when the bond finally activated.Dana stood in front of the mirror in Maddie’s house, her long hair curled and cascading down her back. A small braid framed the front of her face, adding a soft touch to her look.She wore a tight red dress that clung perfectly to her slender figure, highlighting every curve in a way that made her look effortlessly stunning.Her eyes were shimmering in a glittery gold shadow and her Iips were a glossy nude. The girls smiled at each other, neither had to say it but both thought the other looked stunning.“So how do I look?” Dana asked, doing a twirl.Maddie, dressed in a white gown that hugged her body perfectly and accentuated her curves, let out an impressed whistle."Ten baby girl!" Maddie said as she too stood up and hugged her mom wh
Dana’s heat lasted for three whole days before it finally came to an end. During those days Marcus never left her side, staying with her even when she fell asleep from exhaustion.And when the pain came back up, they would engage in sex for hours before the pain finally went away.Now a week had passed, and the mating ceremony was finally here, it was being held within their own pack.The weather outside was cold and grey mirroring the mood within the Alpha’s mansion. Breakfast was tense, even the delicious smell of Laura’s cooking couldn’t lighten the mood. Noelle sat there, a pout on her face, looking between Marcus and Victor. Neither had spoken to the other since the incident.She wished they would set their pride aside and put an end to this ridiculous tension."So… how are preparations for the ceremony going?” Laura asked carefully, looking between Marcus and Dana."All ready, just waiting for the ceremony to start." Dana replied flatly playing with the scrambled eggs on her pla
Damon didn't know how long had passed since he'd walked into the hospital, or how many times his heart had skipped a beat each time the ER doors opened and someone walked out.He stood in front of the emergency room, one hand raking through his black hair as he paced the waiting area.The sharp sme

The phone vibrated again in Damon's hand.Once.Twice.The unknown number glowed on the screen like a challenge.Damon stepped away from Jake's bedside, his grip tightening as he answered."Talk."A low chuckle rolled through the line."Straight to business, I see," the voice drawled. "I almost for
Amber didn't know how many minutes have passed since she started running, or how much farther her body could carry her.She only knew she couldn't stop.She clutched the twins closer, forcing her legs to move, ignoring the burn in her lungs."I'm tired, mummy," Jessie cried beside her, her breathin
