POV: LYA
As my eyelids fluttered open, my gaze met a pristine white ceiling adorned with an intricate totem. Painted upon it was a regal figure—a pure white wolf — radiating an aura of majesty and grace.
A sharp pain came from my head, causing me to let out a controlled huff.
"You're awake?" A voice rang out in my head, "I'm Lyssa, your wolf, I'm sorry I didn't fully awaken until the moment you jumped off the waterfall, I didn't protect you."
A pair of green wolf eyes came to my mind and were staring at me apologetically.
My wolf? So, not only did I not die when I jumped off the waterfall, but I awakened my wolf!
No longer caring about the painful signals my mind was sending me, I tried to talk to Lyssa with my mind, "You don't need to feel sorry for that, if it wasn't for you, I would probably be dead already, wouldn't I?"
Lyssa's voice finally stopped sounding so sad, "Yes, our first transformation went very well."
"So... where am I now?" I asked Lyssa, after all, this did not look like my home or any of the GreyStone Pack's places.
"I don't know, my strength ran out after I swam to shore and I passed out." Lyssa's voice became a little smaller, and I could feel that she was still apologetic about it.
A man with a glass of water walked in, and when he saw my eyes open, he gave me a good-natured smile, "You're awake?"
The man had light brown hair and looked very kind, no matter what, kinder than that Miguel.
"Did you save me?" I propped myself up and sat up.
"Yes, I saw a red wolf fainting on the bank at the headwaters of the river, you know, red wolves are so special, so I saved you and took you back." The man sat on the edge of the bed and handed me the glass of water, "My name is Joseph, and I am the beta of MoonWar Pack Alpha. Here is your medicine, drink it down and then I will take you to Allora."
I obediently took the glass of water Joseph handed me and took the medicine without even asking.
Joseph looked at my crisp movements, raised an eyebrow, smiled and asked me, "Don't you doubt my words at all?"
Lyssa also questioned me in my head, "What if he poisons you?"
I wiped my mouth with my sleeve and said indifferently, "If you were going to hurt me, why did you pick me up? You could have killed me when you saw me at the river instead of bothering to heal my wounds and then doing it."
At this point, I noticed that I was not wearing the same clothes that I was wearing when I jumped off the waterfall. I was wearing a larger set of clothes with the same white wolf totem tattooed on the ceiling, with the words "MoonWar Pack" under the totem.
"You're quite a clever wolf." Noticing me staring at my clothes, Joseph smiled, "I didn't change them for you, and you can rest assured."
I nodded, "I'm good, take me to your Alpha."
By this time, whoever changed my clothes for me, I actually did not care anymore, and I had just been rejected by my own mate and sold by my adoptive parents to an older man.
The most important thing for me then was how to make myself stronger, and I must make both Kendall's family and Miguel pay.
Well, it might be a little hard to make Miguel pay, but at least I could make him regret it for rejecting me.
Joseph smiled as he stood up and led me to the door of MoonWar Pack Alpha's room.
"Go inside, Allora is waiting for you." Joseph looked at me and said, "Don't be nervous and scared, Allora is a great Alpha, just tell her where you're from and what's going on."
I looked at Joseph suspiciously.
"It doesn't seem that you lost your footing and fell into a waterfall with those cuts." Joseph shrugged his shoulders, "The river doesn't hurt people like that."
Without asking Joseph again, who was indeed a very smart man, I knocked on the door of the room and heard a muffled voice from inside, "Come in."
I pushed open the door to the room, which was dimly lit, and a chair with a high back rested behind a table, the back of which blocked Allora out so that I could only see her hand propped up on the armrest. It was a hand that looked like it was quite powerful, worthy of alpha of a wolf pack.
"My name is Lya, from the GreyStone Pack ..." I hung my head and began to recount my story.
By the time, I had finished telling all that had happened, about twenty minutes had passed, and that was after I had omitted all emotions.
"So, if I didn't take it wrong, you want to learn how to become a powerful werewolf in our MoonWar Pack, right?" Allora's hand propped up on the armrest moved a little.
"Yes." I looked up at the back of my chair, "Please, take me in."
Allora turned her chair around and faced me head-on. It was the first time I had ever been alone with an Alpha, and the powerful aura made me shrink back as I could not control myself.
"Don't be afraid, I feel like she's being friendly to us." Lyssa said in my head, "Believe it or not, she was moved to tears by your story."
What?
When I heard Lyssa's words, I looked up in disbelief and peeked at Allora, who indeed had tears in her eyes and they were a little red.
"Ma'am?" I was at a bit of a loss as to what to do, did my story really sound that bad?
Allora wiped her tears with her hand, stood up directly propped up on her chair, rushed to my side with great speed and put me in her arms, "Finally ... finally ..."
"Finally what?" I did not move and let this great woman hold me.
"Finally, I found you!" Allora took my face in her hands, "Look! Look! Look at your bright red hair, look at your green eyes, who dares to say you are not Allora's daughter?"
"Wait, what?" I was a little shocked and my words became stuttered.
I thought this woman must be crazy, otherwise why would she think I am her daughter?
Although I was indeed the child Aurora and Damon picked up, I was picked up within the premises of GreyStone Pack. GreyStone Pack and MoonWar Pack, one at upstream of the falls and another one at downstream of the falls, and if I had not jumped into the falls, I probably would not have come here in my life.
Allora's eyes were filled with tears, but the smile on her face was very genuine.
"See, here's the proof. Evidence that you are my bloodline." The voice that belonged to Allora rang in my head, "Family members can communicate using mind links, and at this moment I am doing so."
She was right, what she said was true!
I was speechless with amazement that in just half an hour, I had found the one I had never seen in eighteen years, my real mother, and she was an Alpha!
AlloraJosh let Caleb drive back to the farm while he laughed in the backseat with me. He didn't seem able to let me go, which suited me just fine. Our lips met in a long, lustful kiss. I devoured him, the relief of still being alive and having him alive coursing through my veins. Adrenaline made me dizzy, and his tongue against mine felt like the most amazing thing in the world.“I was serious before,” Josh murmured against my lips. His arms tightened around me. “I love you, Allora.“I know you do. That scared me.- I understand.“But it doesn't scare anymore. I put my arms around him, losing myself in his kind green eyes. “Being kidnapped by Derek… showed me something, something I should have learned from Dad and Ben. Life can end in a moment, and all we have is what we are given. I don't want to waste a single moment of the life I've been given fearing to know what it might be or what might happen. I want to embrace all my feelings, all my dreams, even the scary ones.Especially th
josh“Her car is gone,” Caleb said, pointing to the empty spot where his Mini was parked.- Yes. She quickly fled after my little revelation."Any idea where she might have gone?"I made my brain work. Would Allora have gone deeper into the forest?No. I remembered what she had said about her previous boyfriend, how he had an accident and died in the woods. If she was upset, she wouldn't stay here among the trees and the memories. She would go back to town, find someone to talk to, maybe that guy she visited the other day."She's at DownMoor," I said. “She had a friend there, Derek. I bet she went to see him.- Let's go. Caleb opened the door to my truck and got in. - Keys?— Why are you driving?“Because you're too upset to think straight. And you are a shitty driver.“I can just feel that love, cousin,” I growled, but there was no time to argue. I climbed into the passenger seat and tossed him the keys.Caleb started the engine and we took off down the road. Behind us, Ruth came run
josh— The Anna! I yelled after the Mini started. She didn't look up, didn't stop the car. The Mini's wheels screeched as it sped around the corner, the tiny car carrying the only woman I've ever loved.My chest hurt. My entire body shuddered. I felt like I had been hit by a truck. She's gone. She's gone. The shock of it shivered through my veins.“Josh? Frances's voice cut through the pain slicing through my skull. I was vaguely aware that I was standing in the middle of the camp, stark naked. But I couldn't care. I ran my hand over my lip.I could still taste the sweetness of her kiss there.Allora left me. I told her I loved her and she left. Cum!Anger surged through me, an anger that purred from my feet to my entire body, a bubbling heat that burned me inside and out. Fuck her. Just a few minutes ago, she'd been telling Caleb these things, and now she's just walked away.My eyes burned with tears. I blinked angrily. I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time, since I was
- Boys! Allora jumped between us. I stopped, pulling my wolf back just as he threatened to explode. - Stop it. Caleb, Josh couldn't have destroyed the paintings. He was with me at the time. We were in town.- It saw? “I looked at Caleb.“But, Josh, I don't think Caleb did it either,” Allora spoke directly to me. “It doesn't make any sense. His whole purpose here is to establish his own pack. How can he do that when he destroys the only evidence of his claim to this place? Or when he has cops swarming all over the woods?"Well then, who else did this?" I demanded.“It was the other wolf,” Caleb whispered. “The black wolf.“I thought we established that the black wolf couldn't exist."No," Caleb snapped. “You established that because you're too desperate to believe I'm the culprit here. I know the black wolf exists because I've seen it with my own eyes. His scent is all over the cave."You mean your smell."“I don't need to hear that shit. Caleb fell forward and, with a snap, the spine
Allora's lips found mine, her tongue slipping between my teeth. My hands cupped her face, pulling her closer. My body ached for her, wanting to be as close as possible, right now.I reached out to unbutton my shirt, but Allora held it."Let me do this," she whispered. "You've already ruined two of my favorite shirts."I was going to protest, but she started undoing the buttons, starting at the neck and working her way down. She looked a little nervous, like a schoolgirl in the backseat of a car for the first time. It only heightened my desire as she unfastened the last button and opened her blouse.Her breasts were cupped inside a black bra. I reached behind her and released him, sliding the blouse off my shoulders. I cupped one of her breasts in my hands, loving how perky and firm it was. She gasped as I closed my mouth around the nipple and sucked gently, her nails digging into my back.As I suckled on her other breast, Allora fumbled with my buttons. I took my shirt off my shoulder
“This is Allora SanDiir,” Josh said, his hand resting protectively on my back. “She's working on the dig. She's one of the archaeologists.“Allora SanDiir? The officer frowned even more. "Then you too will need to testify." Your name appeared in our questions.- He appeared?“The victim was a reporter for the Daily Post. Her name was…' He consulted the clipboard. “Misty Sharpe. It looks like she was leaving the archaeological site to conduct more research. She stopped here, parked the car and walked a few meters before someone attacked her and ripped her throat out.My head spun. Was Misty dead? I spoke to her yesterday. Your ridiculous article was on the Internet this morning. How could she be dead? And who would have done such a thing? Rip out her throat, like a wild animal...The cop gave me a pointed look.“She was coming here to talk to you, Miss SanDiir. Apparently, there was an article about you published this morning, and Misty was hoping for a follow-up. Sounds like you're…”
