Chapter Forty Seven
Rose
“Rose...where are you?” A deliciously familiar voice called to me.When I fully came to and was aware of my surroundings, I found that I was locked in a warm embrace. My eyelashes fluttered open to an unruly tangle of honey locks. My head was tucked into the crook of Orion’s neck. He was sitting on the bed but had pulled me onto his lap.“Right here.” I wrapped my arms around Orion’s neck, squeezing him tightly. A comforting frequency of electricity buzzed through me.“You know you scare the shit out of me every time…” Orion muttered into my hair as he fisted my hair, pulling me as close as possible.“I’m sorry.” I sighed and nuzzled my face into his neck. “I’m not trying to.”Orion’s hand relaxed and began to stroke my hair. His other hand loosened its grasp on my waist. I was finally able to pull away a little bit to scan his face. The sadness that lingered in his eyes made my heart twinge.“SRelated chapters

Unknown The forest was noiseless tonight as if nature and all of the animals knew a predator lurked in the shadows. Quickly I darted through the night, each step with a purpose. Must not be caught. No noise. Not a single twig or leaf snapping would be tolerated. I silently jumped from branch to branch in the canopy. I wasn’t like everyone else, the height did not put me at a disadvantage. It was a second home to me. I wasn’t scared of the branches, my feet knew where to step, when to leap, and where to land. I was just a deadly breeze in the moonlight. My pace slowed as my eyes scoured the limbs in the trees near me. The perfect perch was my goal, where I was hidden in the shadows, but able to monitor the forest floor. There it was, approximately two hundred f

RoseAfter the discovery of David’s body, the night slipped away at an unrelenting pace. It was moments before the sunrise, and Orion, Harriet, Alastor, and I were numbly sitting at the breakfast nook table, staring into cups of coffee. Silence had settled over us after we walked back to the packhouse. We were broken and raw. Questions loomed over everyone, but no one had broken the quietness that suffocated the room.I leaned my head against Orion’s bicep, letting an exhausted sigh come out as I ran my finger over the rim of my coffee cup. I felt Orion’s firm hand stroke my hair aimlessly, just an attempt at comfort.Harriet cleared her throat, shattering the atmosphere in the room. “So you say you are a blessed wolf? What is that, and why have you been keeping it from me?” I felt Orion’s body become rigid underneath my head. I placed a hand on his forearm as I sat back up to face Harriet.“I guess since the day before my birthday, but I didn’t know what

Harriet“Why didn’t she tell me? We never keep secrets from each other. We have always been completely honest with each other.” I fell backward on the bed with a soft thud and stared at the ceiling fan. My eyes darted to follow a single blade around and around. The soft light that began to creep through the room was snuffed out with the flutter of fabric. My eyes dropped from the ceiling towards the windows. Alastor pulled the curtains over the window.“Why does it matter?” Alastor turned away from the windows and leaned against the wall.“She’s MY best friend!” I sucked through my teeth and rolled over onto my stomach burying my face into the bed.“And he’s her mate.” I felt the sting of his rational thinking hit me. “He is your Alpha, after all.”“You are supposed to be on my side, Alastor,” I whined and hit my fists on the bed.“You are supposed to be the beta female of the pack.” I whipped my head up from the bed.His touch had ca

Rose"Come on, try to focus on something." Harriet sat across from me on the floor of my room, staring at me."Like what?" I sucked through my teeth. We had been trying to strengthen my premonition powers on top of my training with Iris and Heather."Try focusing on the misty forest.""But only two out of my three premonitions had the misty forest." I sighed."Rose, just try."I rolled my eyes before closing them. I tried to focus on the eerie fog that flowed through the tree trunks. The faint feeling of confusion and disorientation. I was about to give up when I thought I heard a rustle of leaves. I went to open my eyes, but before I could, I heard a blood-curdling scream. "Help me!" My eyes flew open."Did you hear that?" I gasped at Harriet as I scrambled to my feet, looking around the room."No, I didn't hear anything." Worry was etched on her face. "What did you hear?'"Someone was screaming for help." I chewed my l

OrionClick...click….click...click...click…“The meeting is in an hour. Are you ready?”Click...click….click...click...click…“Orion?”Click...click….click...click...click…“Oh, goddess, stop that.” Alastor’s hand descended across my desk, snatching the ink pen I had been clicking neurotically. “Hey!” I snarled at him for taking away the object I was channeling my nervous energy into.“If you would pay attention to me instead of clicking this pen, I would not have to take away your toy.” A smug smile was plastered on his face as he scolded me like a child.“You remember I am the Alpha? Give me back my pen.”“Only if you promise to behave and listen to me, too?”“Should I replace you with Matt?”“Only if you want to piss off Harriet.” A warmth flashed in his eyes when he mentioned his mate’s name.“Good point.” I quickly snatched my pen back as he let his attention be drawn to the thought of H

Harriet The morning training sessions with Alastor had turned my limbs to mush. Every day we fell into the same pattern. Early morning training, just the two of us, then pack training with the warriors, I would go off with Rose, and he would go off with Orion. Today was a little different though, with the days slipping by before the blood moon, Orion wanted to spend more alone time with Rose. He was choosing to be selfish before the ceremony and I couldn’t blame him though. I would do the same if I had the opportunity, for Alastor. I strolled through my room, leaving a trail of sweaty clothes behind me. I filled the tub with warm water to soothe my achy muscles and drizzled some citrus bubble bath under the tap, letting bubbles engulf the

RoseThe day of the Luna ceremony arrived. My secret had finally been revealed to the pack; a gnawing sensation had manifested inside me, like some rodent constantly chewed at my stomach. Orion had let me sleep in, which really meant I waited until he left and stole his pillow, cuddling it tightly as I stared up at the ceiling. Did everyone feel this way before they became Luna? It’s not like I knew any Lunas that were alive, that is. I wish I could ask someone.“You will be fine,” Delilah murmured sleepily.“You say that, but it doesn’t mean I believe it’s true.” I sighed.“Selene wouldn’t have mated you to Orion if you couldn’t handle it.”“I guess.”“It’s not like you had a premonition of fire again.”“That’s not helping, Delilah.” I groaned as I shoved my face into Orion’s pillow.“I’m just saying you didn’t have a premonition about today. That’s a good sign in my book. You had one about the fire and murder.”“Just w
Once Upon An Alpha Chapter Fifty Five
RoseA large pile of dresses was taking over my bed. No one could agree on one. My mom was pushing for a tulle dress. Harriet was adamant it should be off the shoulder for easy access to my neck. Heather pushed for a blue or pink dress to bring out the color of my eyes. Iris liked all of the dresses but seemed to prefer the more revealing ones. I had been forced to try on at least a dozen. Honestly, I was just getting annoyed with all of them. I knew they meant well, but I was not their personal doll to dress up.“Okay, there are only a few dresses left. How about I pick the next one? Hopefully, the last.” I groaned, and they all nodded in approval. I slipped off the slinky white halter neck dress. I don’t know what Iris was thinking with that one...a single speck of blood would ruin it forever.My fingers pushed the remaining dresses apart on the rack. I decided to take their opinions into consideration, but ultimately I chose to have an idea. I heard the rustl
