Lux Nadia is quiet as she fixes my hair and does my makeup. She has always been able to read my mood pretty well and she can tell that I am not in the mood to talk right now. Today is honestly a day that I just want to stay in my room and be by myself. But I have a mate that I need to be around and get more comfortable with, and I guess it would be good for me to keep busy and distract myself from my sadness. Nadia says proudly as she finishes braiding my hair, “Done!” I say, “Thank you, Nadia.” “It’s not a problem, Lux. In fact, I think it’s one of my favorite parts of the job.” I smile in response, and she asks in a suggestive tone, “Would you like me to help you find Alpha Apollo?” My mouth opens as I am about to reply to her whenever I hear Kai’s voice in a sudden mind link and he says, “Come, join me outside. Just you, I need to shift.” I can’t help the heavy sigh that comes out of my mouth, and I say, “I need to go see Kai for a moment. If Apollo comes looking for me, ple
Silas The last thing I remember was Kai’s wolf, Loki, forcing mine to push me out. My wolf, Jax, has apologized to me and seems frustrated over everything. He gave me full control as I continue to run in our wolf form back to the house. I need to know if Kai and Lux were pushed out too and what on Earth Kai’s wolf could be up to. I rush to the house, and I see Kai has already shifted back and is in a pair of basketball shorts and next to him is Lux and she’s in a sundress. I stop when I see her, as I can’t help but admire her beauty for just a second. I huff as I get myself out of my daze and walk over to them. I ask, “Kai, what was with your wolf forcing mine to block me out?” He looks at me, confused and startled, and looks over at Lux. I can tell from the way his eyes glazed over that he is mind linking her, but neither are giving any answer to what’s going on. I look at Kai suspiciously and I wonder if his wolf forced him into the back of his mind and just fully took over all
Lux When I get back to my room, I find some warmer clothes. It’s now fall, and I love the cool breeze that we constantly feel and if I could have it my way, I would wear dresses all the time. We’re werewolves. We rarely get cold, but try telling that to my mother! She would have a complete fit and eventually get you to agree that wearing a sweater was the better option. I found a soft sweater along with some jeans and got dressed quickly, knowing that Apollo would be here to hang out with me soon. When I hear the knock on the door and the scent of leather and cherries get strong, I know that he’s right there. The butterflies’ storm through my stomach as every day that we are together I feel a stronger connection to him, and I believe it causes our bond to be stronger. I open the door and smile as his scent waves over me. Suddenly, his lips are on mine, and his hands weave through my hair. I faintly hear the door shut, and it doesn’t matter. All I can focus on is him and how I des
Silas I roll over in my bed with a groan and glance at the clock to see that it’s 3:00 a.m. I huff loudly in frustration because I’m unable to sleep. Too much is on my mind, and I cannot get it to shut off. It’s been 2 days since we made our plans with Charlotte to head to her pack. It feels like a lot has gone on since then. Things have changed and now we’re not just visiting Charlotte’s family. We are actually going to stay there an entire week and help them pack so that they can move to our pack. King Archer approved the transfer, and the Alpha of their small pack knows better than to disagree with the King. On top of that, Charlotte’s family is full of omegas, so most alphas view them as worthless. They are going to be in for a huge culture shock when they come here and see how well the royal family treats their Omegas. My panic has gone down a bit… it’s still hard for me. I try my best to hide it from David and Charlotte. But they are so lost in one another, it doesn’t seem
Lux I couldn’t fall asleep after Silas left. My brother, my mom, Nadia, and a couple of other omegas were going to come with me to the Bloodlust Pack. My dad wanted to come to, but with David and Silas leaving this week as well, it made him hesitant to come with us. I get it. I’m not upset about it at all. He will come as soon as he feels like he can. Or once Kai takes the throne, then I think both my parents would come visit me frequently. We’re supposed to leave at 7. Silas came to see me around 3 and no one has come to get me up yet, but I can hear the faint hustle and bustle as people get up and start with their morning routines. I sigh heavily as I feel like there is an anchor on my heart weighing me down and making me feel as if I’m drowning. I miss Apollo. It is like a physical ache not having him around and it has definitely surprised me. It is just now the third day without being around him and it makes my feelings for him clearer. I am falling for him. I wouldn’t say tha
Silas This morning is awful. Of course, I was up late last night talking to Lux and wanting to leave everything behind just to be with her. I understand why she kicked me out. I understand why she’s against it, but it didn’t make it hurt any less. When I went to see Charlotte this morning, I was grateful, because it seemed like I might actually get some time with her without David. Now, imagine my surprise when I knock on her door and my shirtless brother is the one who answers. On top of him being the one to answer, his scent was mingled with hers and there was a mark on his neck. Then when Charlotte came to the door, her hair was tousled, and she was only wearing David’s shirt, which barely covered her privates. She didn’t even seem embarrassed for me to find them like that. Instead, she gave me a satisfied smile as she greeted good morning. Seeing the mark on her neck made Jax howl loudly. He is upset that someone else has officially marked his mate. I rolled my lips into my mo
Lux It was a three-hour drive before we finally arrived at the Bloodlust pack. I hear my mom and brother murmur about how many people seem to wait for our arrival. The number of scents that I can smell is overwhelming until I smell the one scent that seems to overpower every one of them. The leather mixed with dark cherries causes Kodi to give a purring sound, and it makes my stomach erupt with butterflies at the thought of being near Apollo. It’s been a few days without him and now that I’m close to him, it’s like my whole body is on fire at the thought of being near him again. The car stops and the door is opened, and my mom is the one who exits the car first. The crowd goes mad just from seeing the majestic Luna Queen. I hear a voice that I recognize as the Beta, Michael as he says, “Everyone welcome our Luna Queen Rieka!” People scream again and then out slides Kai and Michael announces, “Our future Alpha King Kai!”I notice specifically a lot of girls cheering for him. I’m su
Silas David mind linked me after Charlotte told him why I wasn’t coming with. He absolutely chewed me out on not doing enough for her. He told me how she’s crying and heartbroken because I don’t want a relationship with her and I’m not willing to fight for her. I could hear his wolf coming out through our mind link and I know that David and his wolf were both furious with me for upsetting Charlotte. I let him get his frustrations out and then we both blocked each other, and I lied down on my bed and wondered how I ended up here. I really wanted to try with Charlotte. She seemed nice, and the mate bond drove me to want to be near her. But she prioritizes David over me. I don’t necessarily blame her, though; he is outgoing and does huge acts of love, so she knows how happy he is with her. I swear, I’ve seen a new bouquet of flowers in her room every couple of days. I see how he whispers sweet nothings in her ear and makes her blush. They will look at each other as if they are the onl
