DonovanI'm worried about this new threat we have with the Red River Pack, but I hope our alliances are strong enough that it won't be a big deal. I appreciate Jack more than I can explain, he already knows exactly what to do as we start getting to work.But the sound of Violet and Xavier’s screaming voices causes both of us to freeze. Both Jack and I rush to figure out what’s going on. The moment we see them, Violet is pushing Xavier back as she yells in his face and you can see that he is resisting the urge to retaliate. Jack runs to her as he tries to pull Violet away from Xavier, but I’ve never seen her this angry. She’s thrashing around, fighting Jack’s pull, trying to get her hands on Xavier.I quickly recognize I’ll have to use my Alpha voice and I yell, “SILENCE!”I walk down the stairs slowly as I look between the two of them. At least they both have the decency to look down and at least pretend they're ashamed. I walk over to Xavier; I have a feeling he’s the instigator in al
Donovan Word spread like wildfire. Everything that happened at the Red River Pack, people already knew about it. We would finally get in touch with a pack and they would make up terms for them to assist us because they knew we needed them more than they needed to be aligned with us. Surprisingly, not many were putting stipulations around Penelope being the white wolf. Most of the packs I had good relationships, and they didn’t want to jeopardize that in case they ever needed something from me. I breathe out, finally taking a break from the phone after being on it all morning. When I hear it ring, I can’t help the groan the slips through my lips. I want to rest. I want to go lay down with my beautiful mate and feel rejuvenated from her presence. As another ring radiates through the room, I pick up the phone and answer, “This is Alpha Stone.”“Alpha Stone, this is Mr. Ramírez with the Supernatural Academy.” My eyebrows furrow. What could he want? We never hear from the Academy un
Penelope When I wake up, I’m cradled in Donovan’s arms. I don't remember him coming in here. The last thing I remember is Violet sitting at the end of the bed, assuring me that everything will be okay and reading a book while I fell asleep. I need to go to the restroom, but I don’t move, as I can hear Donovan's heavy breathing and I know how badly he needs his rest. My eyes flicker around the room and I see sunshine peeking out from behind the curtains. It makes me wonder how long we’ve been sleeping for. Did we sleep for a couple of hours, or did we sleep through the night and it’s now the next morning? A part of me wants to get up, take a shower, and get ready for the day, but I can’t bring myself to get out of Donovan’s strong arms. My mind flickers back to our time in the woods. That isn’t how I imagined my first time, but there’s no one else I would rather be with than Donovan. The way his length felt inside of me, how he touched my body, and looked at me like a man lost in
Penelope When Donovan and I finally got out of bed, we learned that it was the next morning and that we slept for almost 20 hours. We walk down the stairs hand in hand and Donovan suddenly stops. I look at him with a furrowed brow. He lets go of my hand and runs to the door and opens it. Immediately, a bloody Simon stumbled inside. I gasp as I rush over as he falls to the ground. Donovan yells out, “Call the pack doctor!”Jack rushes over and says, “I will, Donovan, but while we wait, Penelope can heal him.”My eyes widen at his statement and Donovan looks at me and says, “He’s right, you could.” I shake my head, “No, no, I can’t. Donovan, the only time I could was in my wolf form and that was kind of… intimate.”He shakes his head, “It doesn’t have to be, Pen. You’re the white wolf. You have a healing ability. Just touch him and let your wolf guide you. You can do it. I believe in you.”I nod my head slowly and I get down on my knees and place my hand on Simon’s head. I wait for G
Penelope I wait outside for Aubrey to get home from her shift at the club. It’s early in the morning, it's still dark outside from how early it is, but I know she’ll show up soon. I haven't been able to see her for a couple of days, and I think Xavier is trying to keep her from spending time with me. Xavier doesn't hide his distaste for me. Ever since Donovan put him in his place and demanded that he respect me as his Luna, I hardly see him. And since then I've noticed that it is harder to see the girls too. If this is the only way for m to see Aubrey then I will wake up as early as I can and wait outside until I see her. Donovan hated that I left the bed and stopped snuggling him this early in the morning but, he knew that Aubrey is one of the relationships I cherish and he would not intervene.I need to speak with Donovan about the situation. I know he’s been busy and stressed out about other matters, but… I need these girls to be safe. It would be different if they were just str
Donovan Since Penelope left me so early this morning and I was unable to sleep. It's weird how much life seems to change after having a mate. Before, I never slept with another person in my bed and now when she's not here, it's like a part of me is missing and it is impossible for me to be comfortable without her. I knew I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep, so I went straight to work. I checked over our finances, checked on how our businesses are doing, all the usual stuff. I’m thrilled by how much Penelope is flourishing in our pack. Everyone who meets her adores her and I can’t believe how blessed I am to have her. Any person that sees me tends to have something to share about her. I can't help but feel proud of her and how well she has adapted to her new role. What's even more impressive is how well she has adapted, considering our circumstances. We are still under a lot of stress. The Red River Pack and the Supernatural Academy haven’t retaliated yet, but I know it’s only a
Aubrey How did I end up here? I was at the Academy, just like Penelope was. Although, I had never seen her before and from what I can tell we had vastly different experiences. I guess the directors didn't think I was as pretty as her and I didn't have as much to offer. I lived in a dorm room with three other girls, I went to classes, ate mediocre food, if you didn't know any better you would've thought that I was in a normal boarding school. And most of my experience was normal, except that I had classes specifically to show me how to please a man and how to look and act in a way that he would find desirable. Since I was purchased by Xavier Black, my life has been turned upside down. I have done things that no woman should have to do. I don't even know how many guys I have been with and I know that I am undeserving of this man sitting across from me. We sit in this room that Penelope and Alpha Donovan showed us and I watch Simon. He hasn't looked at me since he found out about w
Penelope Xavier Black is the bane of my existence. Now that I'm Luna, there's nothing he can truly do to threaten or hurt me, if he tried to then Donovan would revoke his title and potentially ban him from the pack. The way he speaks to these girls... it's like they're not even human! I know that Aubrey will be okay and that he won't be able to harm her anymore. So, I don't hesitate to speak up when I hear him say, "I can’t afford for you to gain weight. You’re pudgy enough as it is! Eat a carrot or something.”I ask, “Excuse me? What the hell did you just say to her?”He looks at me and spits out, “Stay out of it.”I take a step towards him with my shoulders back and my head held high as I say, “No, that’s not the way that you speak to a woman.”Xavier scoffs as he says, “A woman? That’s what you’d call her? Because I call her a slut. MY slut. She is my property, so I can treat her or say whatever I want to. Mind your own business.”My body moves on instinct, my wolf’s blood is boi
