Alex called for them to come in and as expected Nel came through the door. I watched him approach us and I couldn’t help the smirk when I saw his fresh mark and smelled Anna’s sweet scent mixed with his. But my smirk fell when I saw the look on his face.
“What is it?” Alex asked first as I sat up straighter.
“There was an attack,” Nel said.
I wasn’t surprised, based on the feeling I was anticipating it, but the look on Nel’s face and his demeanor made me hesitate more.
“What happened?” I asked as I stood from the chair and released my aura a bit on instinct.
He briefly nodded his head out of repsect before he brought his eyes up to meet ours.
“It wasn’t good, the rogues seemed to have joined forces the past few days when everything was quiet. They were organizing a bigger, a better strike
It was gone as soon as I opened my eyes but I had this vivid feeling from it, I could sense each tooth, the wolf itself that bit, it was… real in so many ways.”“You felt the attack too…” I whispered more to myself as I worked through my thoughts on the matter.“Nothing like you though, and why? I am not a special wolf like you are, I hold no other ability, so I don’t understand how that could have happened,” he told me with a serious expression. Clearly he was battling with the logic behind this. He didn’t believe it even though he felt it himself.His eyes glazed over a moment before he sighed.“Garcia is on the phone and the rescue team is ready to roll. I need to see them off before they leave and give them specific instructions. I won’t be joining them, they will be fine with Nel and Car to bring everyone here. Then we can discu
I watched him disappear and then I exhaled a deep breath. Ok, I thought. Time to get organized. I dug through the closet for my favorite blue jeans and my purple blouse. I ran to the bathroom and slipped on the blouse before pulling on my jeans. Only suddenly. I was stopped before I could button them. I furrowed my eyebrows as I glanced down at the button that wouldn’t button like it had easily for as long as I could remember. I studied it and it only took me a moment to realize it wasn’t my jeans that changed size.Another beat passed and I felt everything from last night coming up. I ran to the bathroom with my jeans still not buttoned and hurled into the toilet, thankful I had just bleached them. I waited until I was done before I forced myself to process this. It had been weeks, I wasn’t surprised. I knew II’d need to find a test and get a for sure before I told my mate, I didn’t want him disappointed. Although my growing belly
{ Alex } I watched as the caravans with Nel, Car and our rescue squad disappeared into the woods, headed East. It would be a few hours before they reached the survivors and they would be coordinating with Garcia’s men. Garcia could only hold a few though so a majority would need to come here. Garcia did have a spot available for Alpha Lorenzo and his mate so that was a load off my mind for now. I had come to terms since this war started and we found out her name that I would have to face Caroline again. But the longer I could put it off, the better. An overwhelming amount of happiness rolled over me I waves and I chuckled at it. Then I felt my wolf perk up at the thought of Raine that happy. I’d almost never felt her that happy. Curiosity got the better of me and before long I Was wandering into the house and towards our room instead of going to my office to organize for the incoming wolves. I passed Carmen on the
“We are here, we have them and are headed back,” he told us gruffly. It sounded like he had been running.“What happened?” I asked.“Well, they thought we were the rogues, as most of the pack members are jumpy. Once Ricci saw us he calmed them all down but there was a bit of running and fighting for 30 second,” he explained. Clearly he wasn’t bothered by it.“That makes sense, is everyone there ok? Does anyone need medical attention?” Raine asked him.“A few are hurt, but nothing a little werewolf blood hasn’t already started healing. Most of them are just scared and sad,” his voice dropped and the noise in the background went away as well.“What is it?” I asked, knowing he had moved to another location and had somehting to say.“Well, it is true for starters.” Rai
{ Alex }Since Raine left earlier I’ve been on the phone non stop. I organized the war room based on our new information and sat there trying to rack my brain for insight into this growing threat. It had been weeks, and we were still no closer to answering question of why they were doing this. Jason in Haven Moon had several captured now and they still hadn’t gotten much out of them. Despite the attacks that we’ve had everywhere, on nearly every continent, it seems that the main forces are in Europe and America now. Jason has a theory that they are focusing more on these areas from now on and that the smaller attacks are over. I agree, but that means that my pack is on the top of that hit list and we are running out of time before we get attacked.My phone rings on the table next to me, bringing me back to reality.“Yes?” I growl into the phone, my frustration ripping through me.&nbs
{ Raine }I held Alex’s hand tighter than was probably necessary as we waited for Carmen to come in.“Baby, please, relax, it is just a sonogram,” he says soothingly.I sigh deeply. It had been two days since we built the housing. Alex and Nel had settled in the first group of Italy wolves and after a couple days of monitoring the new patrol schedule and system we were confident that we could move the rest of their pack here. Alex had called this morning and they would be coming the morning after tomorrow.None of this was stressing me out though. What was stressing me out was my baby. My stomach had grown in just two days. Were gestation was only 4 months, but I still felt like it was too fast. I also had this deep feeling from my wolf that there was something else about our baby. The frustrating part was that she couldn’t tell me what it was, so I only got her emotions and I
{ Raine }I waited as Anna took it all in and I couldn’t help but think about how much easier this conversation was than the ones I had with Nel and Alex since not only did I have my powers now and could demonstrate, but I also had the other three with me who could corroborate and also demonstrate. In fact, if anything, this was undeniable with the four of us here and Anna’s face held no doubt, only wonder.“So, your emotions effect your powers? Is that what just happened?” She asked me.“Yes, unfortunately, I am affected by sorrow or sadness,” I told her.Her eyebrows bunched together as she thought for a moment and then her eyes went wide, “But-but you’re Luna. You feel what the pack feels! You’ll feel every loss, not to mention Alex’s emotions, and your own…”“I really, really wish that was all I wa
{ Alex }I hauled this worthless piece of wolf by his collar. I was pulling his half conscious body behind mine, dragging it so that he bumped into every bump and tree possible increasing his pain once he finally regained consciousness. I felt a low growl leave my chest just from thinking about what he and his other two companions had done, but I also couldn’t help the betrayal I felt. My own pack member. I couldn’t dismiss the fact that he was just helping his mate. A better wolf would have brought his mate in, not the other way around. He had risked our safety, the safety of my family and my pack.I thought back to when I found him and the overwhelming strength that washed over me when I took off after the rogues once I received word from Raine of where they were. I hadn’t even questioned in the moment how she knew that, instead I just focused on getting them. The power in my veins still hadn’t subsided and I was ge
