My heart was pounding with both nervousness and excitement. Despite everything, I was my father’s daughter. I loved to fight. And as much as I hated to admit it to myself, I loved to kill. The feeling of exerting my power over others in the most animalistic way was a thrill that I couldn’t help but love. I didn’t like to show it, but my wolf was cruel and vicious. After all I she was an Alpha.I was shifted into my large reddish-brown wolf, running to meet the other people who would fight beside me, when I reached the left border the smell of unfamiliar wolves filled my nostrils. I skidded to a stop behind a tree and pulled on Brody’s shirt that I grabbed before leaving his office. It came to my knees and made me look even tinier.When I stepped out from the tree, Zeke flanked me on one side while Lennon occupied the other. There were about twenty-five wolves from my pack planning to fight, but only five of them were trained fighters. From Aplin Moon there were about twenty fighters,
A week later both packs knew of the upcoming merger; some were happy, some were not. A lot of Aplin Moon members were opposed – not because they had anything against Brody and I, but simply because they didn’t want to move.Brody had decided – as the new owner of Aplin Moon’s territory – to sell the area and buy more land near us, extending our land for the new members. He had been busy talking to builders and contractors to build another three pack houses and another pack village. Brody had extremely under estimated just how big our pack would become with the merger.I had been without my mate for a week and it was killing me. I was; emotional, lonely, constantly on edge and incredibly sexually frustrated. Brody and I had talked twice a day, but it was still not enough to settle either of our wolves. He was a lot more on edge than me, what with all the stress he was on, and everything seemed to agitate him.So when Thursday rolled around and Charlie returned to the pack, I packed up
I woke up sore and squished against a naked man. I groaned loudly trying to get out of Brody’s death grip. “Brody” I complained, my face pressed against his solid chest. Brody moaned in his sleep and nuzzled close into me. “Brody” I yelled louder and his eyes shot up. He sat up instantly, his eyes running over the area for any sign of danger.“What? What’s wrong?” Brody shouted; his eyes full of worry. I giggled at him, happy his hands released me from their tight grip.“Sorry” I chuckled, “you were squishing me. I’m sorry”. There was a pause as Brody fully woke himself up before he turned back to me.“Sorry Baby” he muttered – through a yawn – before he pulled me back to his side. “I love you” he mumbled as he pecked my forehead. “You look beautiful right now”.“Sure I do” I said in a sarcastic tone, rolling my eyes as I tried to move away from him to go to the bathroom. Brody held onto me tighter with a playful growl of warning.“You look amazing. You’re all sweaty and hot” he growl
There was a long moment of stillness between Brody and I. I stayed sitting on the bathroom floor and he stayed standing in front of the basin; positive pregnancy test in hand. Brody was the first one to break the silence. “Are you crying because you’re unhappy?” he asked me, slight pain in his eyes.“What? No” I exclaimed, jumping to my feet. “I’m crying because I’m scared Brody. I’m so scared” I told him, my bottom lip quivering as I fought back another swarm of tears.“But you are happy?” he asked, making no attempt to move forward towards me; so I stood still, wrapping my arms around myself.“I want your child Brody, I do. But I’m just scared I’m going to fuck it up. I don’t know the first thing about being a mother, and you don’t know the first thing about being a father. I’m worried that we – mostly I – are going to fuck the baby up…just like my parents did to me and my brothers”.Brody placed the test back into the sink and took a step forward. He stopped in front of me – I quic
Brody returned a few minutes later wearing a black suit. His eyes zoned in on me, his eyes going up and down my exposed body. Unlike a few months before I didn’t squirm away out of his gaze. I still wasn’t comfortable with his outright staring, but I was getting better – he was making me more confident in my own skin. Brody cleared his throat and looked away. “As much as I really don’t want to leave you here, when you’re naked, but I was an hour late for the meeting yesterday. I can’t be late again” he sighed before bending down next to the bathtub. “You look after yourself and our pup”. He kissed me quickly before standing up and leaving. Once I finished in the bath, I got out and changed quickly. “Alli?” I heard a familiar voice from downstairs. I smiled as I bounded downstairs to find a group of people inspecting the broken tables and chairs in the lounge. Mason, Corey, Jessica and Dylan were all waiting for me. “Hey” I smiled at me. “Finally we’ve been here forever” Jessica exc
I crossed my arms and pouted my lips childishly. He sighed at me as I shook my head, telling him that I refuse to get out of the car. My brother sighed and ran a hand down his face. "Please don't make this harder than it needs to be" he whined."I refuse to exit said vehicle without a full, thought-out, apology" I stated glaring at my brother."I am sorry" my brother sighed."For what?" I promoted him. He growled in annoyance, a feral and animalistic noise. He was trying to intimidate me, it didn't work."I am sorry for breaking your record player" he mumbled grumpily."And .. ""And for dropping the plate in the restaurant and blaming it on you" he added through gritted teeth, his eyes darkening in anger."Thank you for apologising" I smiled genuinely at him, I leant across to his seat and kissed his cheek softly. He instantly soften at my affection, despite his moods I was always his weakness."Right, come on, it is our first day," he said before he pulled me out of the car. He lock
I didn't meet anyone's eyes as I quickly changed into my gym clothing and shoes. I had worked out, by their scents, that in the changing room there were three female wolves with me. I could feel their eyes burning holes in my back. I tried to steady my racing heart as I turned to meet their looks."Got a good enough look yet?" I huffed, my wolf getting riled up for a fight. She was ready to taste blood."You have no right here rouge" one of the girls hissed, her hair so blonde it looked almost white and eyes a dull grey."I have every right that you do" I replied, crossing my arms over my chest and sticking one of my hips out."Our Alpha may not own this territory, but our packs treat this land like our own. We wouldn't tolerate rouges here" another girl growled, her face turning as red as her hair."Leave now and we'll let you live" the third wolf said, her blonde hair pulled into a tight bun. I sensed that she was the strongest of the three wolves, but she still had nothing on me or
I shifted into my large wolf, my coat a light brown almost red colour and my eyes a dark black. My wolf was bigger than the average she-wolf, just like Mason's wolf was bigger than the average male wolf. Mason's wolf was the same colour as mine, but his was a lot bigger and bulkier than mine. My wolf was a lot more streamline and delicate.I collected my jeans and shirt in my mouth and jogged out from behind the tree, Mason close behind me. The Alpha, Brody, had also shifted; his wolf was a dark black and was a close size to Mason's.Brody ran over to me and growled, his eyes wondering over my wolf in happiness. He rubbed his head against my neck and I growled in response; a happy, cheerful growl. Mason rushed over and pushed Brody away from me. He stood in front of me, blocking Brody from me. Brody growled at him in anger, Mason returned the growl.Boys, I thought to myself before I rolled my eyes and pushed Mason's side with my head. He got the idea and gestured, with his head, for
