Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 80: Delegation
~Sebastian~ It’s a strange feeling going from always striving to go unnoticed to feeling like royalty. It’s not necessarily a bad feeling at the present, but if it doesn’t eventually wane, I’m sure it will grow old. For now, I will have to grow accustomed to the eyes that are always watching us. Thankfully, they aren’t full of anger or malice. Wren squeezes my hand, drawing my attention to her walking at my side. When I look over at her, she gives me a soft, reassuring smile. “It’s a little strange being in the spotlight, isn’t it?” She asks. I practically snort. “Yes, you could say that.” “What’s on your mind?” I drag her beyond the wall that protects our pack and wave and nod to pack members who are working to accommodate the rogues who have flooded into our pack looking for safety. We have more than enough resources and space to accommodate the new refugees, but will they want to stay? And how do I know we can trust all of them? The niggling doubt floats
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 81: Wanna have a kid?
~Wren~ “Leo!” I yell out with a big grin on my face. The little boy turns his head to see me and stands, hobbling his little legs toward me with a glorious smile on his face. I jog over to meet him halfway. Poor kid just had the run of his life a couple of hours ago. I try to hide my laugh when I see the chocolate smeared all around his thin lips, giving him the cutest food mustache. “Wren,” He breathes as he slams into my legs, “I see you are eating something sweet?” “How did you know?” His eyes go wide as he looks up at me, his arms still firmly around my thighs, not wanting to let me go. “Hmm, maybe it’s a Luna trick?” I didn’t think his eyes could grow wider than they were, but they do, and I can’t control my laughter anymore. “I’m joking, Leo” His face twists in confusion. “So you aren’t really a luna?” “That part wasn’t a joke. I am the Luna of this pack now.” I move to squat down in front of him and he releases my legs. My hand and arm rest on either side of his wa
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate 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. “Does it weird you out?” 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.“It shouldn’t.” He admits, “But It is definitely a little weird.”“Try having it be your hand,” I say with a chuckle.“They couldn’t… like… put it back on or something?” His question isn’t 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.“I know in the human world they would have sewn it back on if the cut was clean.” I shrug. “But it was chewed off and after the fight, as I’m sure you remember, my hand wasn’t the only appendage littering the grou
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate Chapter 83: Night Light
~Sebastian~I stand from my desk, checking the clock and groaning when I realize it's two in the morning. It’s been a week since Nickolai left and today is Wren’s 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 I’m going to need as much sleep as I can muster if I have to hold her while she cries. It’s my least favorite feeling in the world, knowing I can’t 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 Wren’s. Now I know it’s 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 Mate 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. It’s a sobering reminder that the dead are gone and the living will always follow. How we go and when we go isn’t 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 time–time we didn’t 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 Mate Chapter 85: Best friends
“Things 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 isn’t about any of that. Today, we are all the same. We are a pack mourning our losses and the people we loved.” He looks down at me and I know he wants me to take over. “For 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. I’m 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.” My eyes look over at my mother, who is watching me closely. “He died saving me,” I say, taking a deep breath. “Like 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 Mate Chapter 86: New things coming
~Sebastian~“How is she?” Nickolai asks through the receiver. I pinch the bridge of my nose, remembering Wren’s 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 father’s death, but she had been perfect, stunning, so perfectly Wren. “As good as can be expected.” I sigh.“Good. I’m sorry I missed it.” I can hear the disappointment in his voice, but we all understand that he has duties to tend to. “When is your ceremony?” I ask him.“Two days.”We sit in silence for a minute, each of us waiting for the other to speak first. I know Nickolai hates I can’t be there for his Alpha ceremony. And it’s not that we don’t want to be there, it’s just that the timing simply doesn’t 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 allies’ packs lately. “Look, I know you wanted us to be there…”“I get it, Seb.
Rebel Rising The Lost Alpha's Mate 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 Nickolai’s 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 don’t 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. “Alpha,” 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. “I hear you all wished to speak with me. Spit it out so I can move along to other important matters.”
