Apparently, Nickolai decided he needed to escort us to the border. Normally I would be fine with such a situation, but with his cold shoulder and Ranger looking between the two of us like we are in a loversโ quarrel, Iโm over it. I have received my punishment with dignity and honor, knowing full well this could easily turn into a death sentence. His cold shoulder when he insisted on coming is frustrating.
โSpeak your mind Nickolai,โ I say as we close in on the borderline.
He chuckles softly and shakes his head.
โIโm not sure you want to know whatโs on my mind.โ He says with a scowl.
โThen why did you come along?โ I ask him, raising a brow. โYou are going to miss me, so you felt the need to come be angry in my presence?โ Iโm goading him. I know that, but Iโm beyond caring. He has things he wants to get off his chest. I can see it in his eyes. He just needs a little

Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mateย ย ย Chapter 53: Here Comes the Rain
The caves are within eyesight, though if I had to guess we have another hour before we actually get to them. A crack of thunder vibrates through the ground beneath my feet and Ranger growls in anger. The clouds settle in as the sun falls and disappears behind the rocky structure of the mountain we are traveling along. Large droplets of water descend from the sky like rapid-fire machine guns. Each resounding plop is a reminder of how much more difficult our trip is now going to be. In a matter of minutes, water is dripping off the tip of my nose and Iโm pushing my hair out of my face so often I may be forcing a new habit on myself. โThis is your fucking fault,โ Ranger mutters. โPlease enlighten me,โ I grumble back, slipping on a rock, barely catching myself. We spent most of our trip in wolf form, only shifting back because we were so close. โShit seems to go sideways with you lately. The treaty mission went to shit. You break an Alpha order.โ โWasnโt an order for me.โ I remind hi

~Wren~Jade is propped up against the headboard of my bed, flipping through a book. She glances up briefly before closing it and setting it to the side as she watches me closely. I have always tried to hide my emotions and put on a stoic face, and sometimes, I can be successful when the dire need arises, but right now, I can tell I’m failing. My mind reels from the truth that just unfolded itself in my lap. I don’t know how to process the information or what to do with it.“You seem… tense,” Jade says, treading lightly.“We need to leave immediately,” I say, ignoring her, choosing to thrust myself into other problems. There is no time to think about the secrets I know about my mate and can’t share with him. I have no time to waste to get where I need to be before everything comes tumbling down.I move to my closet, pulling out two spare pants, a spare se

Jade and I stare down at Nickolai and Tank, offering them a small victorious wave before we turn our backs. The thought of being out in the open is unsettling, so I move for the tree line to my left, remembering the two rogues who stood in the shadows of these trees after tossing me supplies to help Sebastian. They didnโt have to help, yet they put themselves in danger to give me medicines to help stave off infection. โDo you know where you are going?โ Jade asks. โUh, not really. Iโm just kind of relying on instinct here.โ I admit, pushing a branch full of leaves from my face. โI thought you knew where we were going.โ She says, sounding mildly accusatory. โI know where we are supposed to be. Getting there is something that might be a little difficult.โ I admit. She sighs beside me. I assume she is regretting her decision to come along with me now. โAnd exactl

The world around me seems like a damn right kerfuffle. The child is screaming bloody murder as a fist lands square in my jaw. Tears brim my eyes as I try to gain my bearings. My fingers grab frantically for anything it can cling to. The moment I latch on, I pull the person toward me, hoping to pull them off balance as I draw my legs up. Without clear vision, I plant my feet on what I hope is a torso and not just one leg and I heave, grunting with pained effort as I throw the person off me. A hand grabs mine and yanks me up, placing their hands on my shoulder and spinning me. My vision slowly bleeds back to me through the wetness of my own tears, and I focus on the woman in front of me and the man to her right. To their right lays a dead wolf, its eyes still open and blank. The little boy has dragged himself to a tree further off, covering his face and begging for death. โWhich one of you assholes hit me?โ I growl. โThat would be the tall asshole,โ Jade announces beside me, indicatin

~Sebastian~It took all of three minutes for us to eliminate the threat in the cave. Thankfully, we had the wolves outnumbered, seven to five. I didn’t even have time to take one out myself. As it turns out, our allies were tired of being cooped up, and a fight had been exactly what they needed to get their moods turned around.Luna Cynthia had a lot of pent-up rage to take out since her mate’s untimely death and holy shit. Is she scary? I have fought my fair share of rogues or random idiots who dare try to fight with our pack in the past, but never have I come across a woman with so much anger in her. In the calm flickering of the fire, she looks docile, almost innocent as she shrouds herself in silence, listening to the buzz of excitement from the fight. But she is anything but that.“Are all the Thundering Comet pack warriors so weak?” Alpha Kaïs asks, walking back towards us after tossi

I’m suffocating. There are no words, no line for me to cling to in this sea of lies. I try to force my brain to work, telling it that her admission does nothing, means nothing. I have gained nothing and lost nothing, so why am I incapable of uttering a damn word? Nickolai reaches out for me, his hands falling on my shoulders. I can hear the timbre of his voice, but his words sound distant. A rough shake has me sucking in a deep breath for the first time since Luna uttered the words ‘yes’.“Seb, you need to breathe,” Nickolai says, his voice slamming into me like a wall, pulling me back to the world of the living.“I am breathing,” I snarl at him.I’m sitting. I glance around at the floor, my legs bent and angled to sit in the chair across from the Alpha’s desk. Huh, not sure at what point I sank into this chair, but I’m grateful for it now.

I grab extra clothes and shoes for Avi, stuffing them in a separate bag. He came here with nothing and hasnโt been here long enough to acquire anything more than what he was wearing and the pajama items he wore while he slept. Thankfully Nickolai and Avi are similar in build, though the shirts and pants might be a little oversized they will make do considering we arenโt trying to please anyone. I already stored food and water in one of the hummers I intend to steal. Well, borrow. Ok steal, the chances of it making its way back are slim. The door opens behind me and I toss the bag off the bed and stand, waiting for the person to step in completely. The moment I see Tankโs large frame enter and close the door behind him, I scowl. โNo knocking?โ โI have never knocked before. Why? doing something stupid?โ He raises a brow. โUnlikely,โ I grumble, t

~Wren~It may sound a little dramatic, but—I am dying. This child looked so small before but now that he is asleep and I’ve been carrying him for hours. He is a damn sight heavier with every step. The sun is up, and yes, we took a break. (ok it was multiple breaks.) But that doesn’t make this trek any easier. We have been so damn lucky in avoiding anyone else thus far, but my back is dripping sweat and Jade has to keep wiping my forehead.“Are we almost there?” I ask her, my voice terse.“Hey man, I volunteered to carry the little pup.”“He didn’t want you to carry him. He wanted me.”Jade sighs and shakes her head and looks back down at the general instructions on the super vague map Avi was using when he was in the territory.“Whatever. Anyway, it looks like we should be there. We are looking for what again?

Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mateย ย ย Chapter 89: Epilogue final
โLeo,โ I breathe. โWhere areโโโAddy and Grandma are safe. I canโt leave you, Iโm sorry. Donโt be mad, but I canโt let anyone hurt you, Mom.โ Iโm sobbing as I want to reach out and try to grab and shelter my poor sweet boy who has grown into such a sweet little man. At freshly twelve he has been training for the past two years so he can be strong enough to protect himself. We should have known he was doing it to protect us. One day, he will make the best alpha of this pack.A lanky man steps into the doorway and Leo shifts his weight to his back foot, preparing for battle. My heart is in my throat as I watch the man lunge with a growl toward my son. I fell off the bed, trying to protect him. Leo is so graceful in his movements as he glides out of the way and drags a dagger along the manโs back. As long as the man doesnโt shift into a wolf, Leo might be able to hold his own. His cut isnโt deep, but itโs a strike that makes the man bleed. He growls in annoyance and then chuckles as he

*** THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER***~Wren~โYou really should sit down,โ Jade says, following me as I pace the carpet, my dress flowing around behind me. Seb has been gone for three days, and those three days have been atrocious. He is further than the mate bond can extend, so my mind has been hollow and lonely. It also doesnโt help that my hormones are raging and my mate is fighting in a battle on the other side of Nickolaiโs pack.โNoโ I shake my head. โNo,โ I repeat, more sternly, tears welling in my eyes. I groan in frustration at the stupid tears that seem to come unbidden all the damn time lately. โLuna, you will walk yourself into labor before Alpha can get his ass back here,โ Jade says, rubbing my back and giving me a sympathetic look.I want to slap the sympathy off her face. The person who should rub my back is my mate. He should be here next to me as I try to make this baby come. But no. He has to be a hands-on alpha and lead his troops himself. I used to think it was sex
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mateย ย ย Chapter 87: New warriors and a Beta
The musty, cool air of the dungeons clings to me as we come up to the prisoners we captured weeks ago. Half the men are anxiously waiting at the bars while the rest lean on the walls or stare out the bar window. Most of the men are on the younger side, a few even looking closer to Nickolaiโs young age of eighteen. When they notice me coming in with Tank, they all straighten up and glance at each other nervously. These ten men are not the only prisoners we collected that night. In fact, they are only a small portion of the number of warriors we were able to round up. I donโt think killing the others would be wise, but letting them go is not an option, so instead, we house them here providing the essentials to survive without having an entertaining life. โAlpha,โ they greet me in unison, as though they have been rehearsing for days. I shoot a look at Tank, who is trying not to laugh. โI hear you all wished to speak with me. Spit it out so I can move along to other important matters.โ
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mateย ย ย Chapter 86: New things coming
~Sebastian~โHow is she?โ Nickolai asks through the receiver. I pinch the bridge of my nose, remembering Wrenโs beautiful speech and the tears that wet her cheeks. There is no way to erase the hurt in her eyes and the ache that she feels so keenly at her fatherโs death, but she had been perfect, stunning, so perfectly Wren. โAs good as can be expected.โ I sigh.โGood. Iโm sorry I missed it.โ I can hear the disappointment in his voice, but we all understand that he has duties to tend to. โWhen is your ceremony?โ I ask him.โTwo days.โWe sit in silence for a minute, each of us waiting for the other to speak first. I know Nickolai hates I canโt be there for his Alpha ceremony. And itโs not that we donโt want to be there, itโs just that the timing simply doesnโt work for me and Wren. Or anyone in the werewolf community, since there is a war that is resulting in higher death tolls daily. Especially in our alliesโ packs lately. โLook, I know you wanted us to be thereโฆโโI get it, Seb.
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mateย ย ย Chapter 85: Best friends
โThings have been tense for the past few weeks. Your lives have been turned upside down, you have a new Alpha and Luna and we are in a war to defend what we know is right. But today isnโt about any of that. Today, we are all the same. We are a pack mourning our losses and the people we loved.โ He looks down at me and I know he wants me to take over. โFor as long as I can remember, life in this pack was full of tension and fear. It always felt like we were living half a life. The men and women on this memorial fought and died for what they believed in. They fought for their loved ones and for you and me. Iโm not sure how many of you remember my dad, who he was, and what happened to him after they took my mother from his side, from me.โ My eyes look over at my mother, who is watching me closely. โHe died saving me,โ I say, taking a deep breath. โLike so many others, he was sick most of my life. Constantly trying to be the only parent and provider while being denied the ability to work
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mateย ย ย Chapter 84: It's time
~Wren~The marble slabs glitter as the sun beams down as if a beacon on the dead. Highlighting their loss and what it means to us, our pack. I hate that we have two empty slabs. Two enormous gray and shiny hunks of empty rock are ready for the next names to be etched. Itโs a sobering reminder that the dead are gone and the living will always follow. How we go and when we go isnโt up to us. Life is fragile and fleeting. All the living can do once the ones we love have left, is keep them alive in our minds and heart. Originally, the entire area was going to be a meadow of wildflowers, something we give back to the earth, and in return, she would bring us beauty to console our aching hearts. But growing such things takes timeโtime we didnโt really have. So Sebastian and Tank suggested we plant some annual flowers and then next year we will prepare the ground for the wildflowers. Tank even said we should add some benches and stone walkways so people can come and reminisce with the people
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mateย ย ย Chapter 83: Night Light
~Sebastian~I stand from my desk, checking the clock and groaning when I realize it's two in the morning. Itโs been a week since Nickolai left and today is Wrenโs fathers memorial. She has done a great job of avoiding the thought by occupying her time with planning and Leo. Today could go one of many ways and Iโm going to need as much sleep as I can muster if I have to hold her while she cries. Itโs my least favorite feeling in the world, knowing I canโt do anything to ease her pain. But at least this is a pain I can try to comfort. The very thought of her curling into my body as I settle in the bed spurs me to move faster as I hustle out of my office. I make my way up the stairs leading to our room and push the door open, Inhaling deeply. I used to foolishly think the best smell in the world was Wrenโs. Now I know itโs our combined scent. The perfect balance of the two of us that is both calming and inviting. I close the door gently behind me, grimacing as the door latches. I move
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mateย ย ย Chapter 82: Moving on
I give Nickolai a tight hug, clinging to him tightly as he squeezes me back. When I pull away, his hands run down my arms, stopping at my wrist where he looks for a moment and shakes his head. โDoes it weird you out?โ I ask him, my lips twitching into a soft smile as he flounders with how to respond without hurting my feelings. I know it creeps him out. When he first saw it, it was all he could look at.โIt shouldnโt.โ He admits, โBut It is definitely a little weird.โโTry having it be your hand,โ I say with a chuckle.โThey couldnโtโฆ likeโฆ put it back on or something?โ His question isnโt malicious or ill-willed, more of a curiosity. The werewolf's body is strange and amazing with its healing properties, but even healers struggle to keep up with what the body is capable of.โI know in the human world they would have sewn it back on if the cut was clean.โ I shrug. โBut it was chewed off and after the fight, as Iโm sure you remember, my hand wasnโt the only appendage littering the grou
