LOGINAshe’s POVI’m walking in a daze as I slowly head back towards my room. My mind still trying to wrap itself around the news I’d just gotten from Alex. The Delta of our pack.A piece of me shocked that a decision was made.My legs aimlessly walking in a direction I can only assume is the way back towards my room. My thoughts still one huge, jumbled mess. I honestly didn’t think Alpha Jake would have decided so quickly. Not that I doubt him to make the right choice. Yet a piece of me wondered if he made the right choice when picking me.My thoughts momentarily on hold when the sweet scent of gingerbread and clove reaches my nose. My legs pausing as I turn to greet the person the scent belonged to. Taos.A man wrapped in total mystery.A man I wanted to solve and learn every piece that I could. The man a complete puzzle and no matter what I thought about him I still couldn’t wrap my head around him in general. Our eyes temporarily locked on the other.His Nordic blue eyes like a siren to
Alex’s POV~ 20 Minutes Later ~“Think we can trust him?”Jake’s voice soon reaching my ears. My eyes still on the window before me. Having been standing there as Jake did the elimination round for the Gamma position that I almost missed it when he spoke.My eyes still locked on Rhain as he stormed from the room and then from the pack house in general. Rhain clearly annoyed when Jake didn’t automatically give him the position.A position he would have gotten if we didn’t have Ashe to consider. Ashe the only candidate left after Taos graciously stepped aside. My eyes still trained on the last known spot before speaking. Already guessing on who he meant.“Can we trust who?”“Rhain? He seems…”“Shady? Our spoken? Rude? Yeah, I doubt he’s trustful.”Jake groaning upon hearing my words.“FUCK!”At the tone of his voice do I pause in what I’m doing over by the window as I then shift my focus over to him. Jake still sitting along his desk. His head resting within his hands as he tries to sor
Tori’s POVIt’s mid afternoon and I’m currently making rounds along the pack when suddenly I hear a commotion nearby. The voice loud and I can’t help but investigate the sound.My legs quick in leading me towards the sound only to pause. My eyes quick to spot Rhain. Rhain, not looking to thrilled by whatever it was that happened to him. A sense of uneasiness beginning to rise.‘Careful with him Tori. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.’‘I know Rune, thanks.’Rune’s confirmation of him only confirming my earlier suspicion. Rhain still tense while tossing and throwing whatever he could find. A part of me glad that nobody else was nearby as he did.Rhain soon pausing in his tantrum. Almost like he knew somebody was there. His head slowly rising.Fuck.‘Don’t just stand there Tori. Move. Now. Before he catches you.’Not one to be told twice do I try to flee the scene only to fail. Rhain having spotted me before I could attempt to go far. His voice reaching my ears.“Going somewh
Taos’s POVWhen first being summoned to the Alpha’s Office, I wasn’t sure why. Just that Jake, my “Alpha” had wanted to see me. A part of me wondering if it had something to do with my father.Elder Marcus.But when it didn’t sound like it was, did I begin to calm down. My body and thoughts tense. My body hyper aware of Ashe. The boy barely 18 and was already scenting.‘I don’t think he knows it though’ whispers Mace.A piece of me secretly agreeing. For while I wasn’t sure exactly when Ashe turned 18, what I did know was that it was close. As no wolf has ever been found scenting until the proper age. As all wolves who turned 18 would then be blessed in finding their mate.So when catching the faint scent of chocolate and mint did I instantly know. Without any doubt, Ashe was meant to be mine. And with Rhain knowing about Ashe and I being mates, did the need to protect him become harder.Fuck. What would father say?Mace just growling. ‘Forget him. Ashe is our mate. Ours. And I will n
Jake’s POVThese last few days have been nothing but trouble. Between the last recent storm to recent floodings did a piece of me want to throw in the towel. To yell at the top of my lungs and let everyone know I was officially done.Yet as much as I wanted too, a part of me knew that I couldn’t.Having spent most of my free time in meetings that my ears were ready to bleed from the inside out. And between Aaron and I, along with Zak and Alex, did the four of us attempt to find a proper solution.The solution, find a new Gamma.A simple solution, right? Wrong. Nothing was ever simple. Not when it came to the concern and safety of one’s pack. Our pack. Our pack running on bare minimum. And while we did have Jordan, Milla and Elijah to help fill in spots around the pack, it didn’t help that we still lacked another Gamma. Tori’s position still vacant and with him as our Luna, he couldn’t help with the Gamma position.And although Zak and Alex were still qualified to be Beta and Delta, Aa
Elder Marcus’s POVWhere is he? He’s late.The place in where I stood dark. Grant the only person with me. Landen, Ellis and Charles all back at Crescentwood Manor. The three of them entertaining our guest. And by guest I meant the girl.Lilyanna.A meddlesome girl who didn’t know when to stay quiet. Now she’s were she belongs. Under our care. In a place we watch and control. A place no one comes looking in and while the place looks ruined and run down, it actually isn’t.A simple glamor spell was all it took to keep it hidden. A spell to keep prying eyes away from what they seeked. Our dungeons filled with plenty of important people. People who were thought to be dead but weren’t. A smirk gracing my lips.Dead, no. Just merely locked away where no one could challenge our way of thinking. Except for one. Our meddling pest Luke. The wolf becoming harder and harder to tame. And frankly if it wasn’t because of Aven, the Night Prince Elf, then poor little Luke would be dead.But Elves had
~Jake’s POV~When making my way over to Tori’s home I couldn’t help but wonder about him. A piece of me curious about him as a whole since I hadn’t been able to see him much since starting my training.Tori.... Sighing I move to look at the bracelet he had given me. A bracelet that I always wore ar
Tori’s POV~6 years later~“Fuck” I groan, my amber eyes now staring at my reflection within the mirror. A fresh new bruise making its way known just along the right side of my body.Tentative fingers now moving to touch the tiny bruise. A hiss making its way past my lips as Dylan and Sam use me as
Tori’s POV~Party~When reaching the party, do I slowly begin to feel nervous. My hands gently clutching at the gifts I had brought with me. Gifts that I was still holding, each individually wrapped in a beautiful color paper. A rich green color for Alex, A beautiful blue for Zak and a deep velvety
Tori’s POV~8 years later~“Tori, sweetheart, hurry up. You’re going to be late to the party” chimes the voice of my mother, Layla, her warm, rich amber eyes now watching as her child slowly makes an appearance before her.“Do I have to go mom? All the other kids make fun of me” I whine, my own amb
