I froze as the echo of the Alpha’s howl faded, the absence of Jackson’s voice more palpable than ever. The realization hit me like a sledgehammer—Jackson had left, and he was in trouble.The Alpha's eyes met mine, filled with determination and urgency. “We need to find him. Now.”Finn burst into the room, having heard the howl. “What’s going on?”“Jackson’s gone,” the Alpha said, his voice strained. “We have to bring him back before it’s too late.”Finn’s face went pale, but he nodded. “I’ll gather the pack.”Within minutes, the entire pack was assembled, ready to track down their future leader. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Jackson was trying to protect us, to fulfill the prophecy alone. But he didn’t have to do this by himself. We were a pack, and we faced everything together.The Alpha led the search, with Finn and me right beside him. Using my connection with Jackson, I guided us through the dense forest. The bond was weak, but I could sense his direction. Every moment felt li
I woke up wrapped up in Finn’s arms…Finn…my mate! I rolled to face him, his arms still holding me close, I blushed as I thought of what we did last night. That’s when it hit me, oh goddess I was still naked!! I squirmed and tried to get free of his embrace so I could find something to cover my body.“Where are you trying to run off too little mate?” Finn’s husky morning voice asked, I blushed more at how his voice made my stomach flip and dirty thoughts clouded my mind.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you. I was… I was just going to get up to find my clothes.”“Running off while I’m asleep huh?” He opened his eyes, “We are mates now Misha, no need to cover up, in fact… I’d prefer you to be naked in my arms forever.” He winked as he released me to hover above me and kiss my mark.I couldn’t resist letting the moan leave my lips as my body woke up under his gaze. “If we don’t stop this I won’t be any use when we leave. I need my body to be able to function Finn.” He chuckled deeply as he
I left them in the kitchen, I know they need this time, it’s not fair to stand in their way. This is all they get with each other. I walked to my room and sank to the floor balling my eyes over loosing my brother. It’s hasn’t happened yet and I already feel robbed. How can I ever be happy again knowing I took the little time together they had away by sticking my nose in? I’ve ruined his one chance at love in the short life he’s been handed. And I call myself his brother? I cried and cried until I fell asleep. I woke up to load banging on my door, it must be night as the room is covered in a blanket of darkness now. Stretching my body out I stood and took in a deep breath as I opened the door to be met with her intoxicating scent.“Misha? What are you doing here?” I couldn’t help the hope and guilt that was messing with my stomach as I stared at my beautiful second chance.“Can we talk?” Her voice was so unsure, and dread filled my mind… what if she was going to reject me?“Of course
I know I should have gone after Misha but Finn did, when I heard them get home I want to go see them but they were cuddled up on the sofa watching some tv show. I didn’t want to interrupt that, it hurt seeing them like that but I knew I’d failed her in that situation, giving into my shock. I left them and went to my office to make sure everything was set up for our trip. I’ll tell them tomorrow, one more night not knowing won’t hurt them. It’s now the morning so I’m making breakfast for all of us to have together and chat about my plan. I hope they agree it’s the best thing for us to do.“Morning” her angelic voice floated into the kitchen. She was rubbing her sleepy eyes and I knew they had fallen asleep on the sofa and stayed there all night. She was in a crumpled black T-shirt that fell to her knees, they must have been on a run and not changed into their own clothes when they got back. The idea of him holding her in that state of undress was making my wolf growl, but I knew he wo
I’m just laying on the sofa with Misha curled up into my side thinking about how much I yearned for this. A mate, a happy life, small moments like this throughout our lives together that mean the world. But I can’t have it, I now know what’s going to happen but how can I be happy in knowing that? *flashback*“Seer, hello.”“Hello Finn, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. My, my, you’ve grown well my boy. How can I help you?”“I have questions I need answering, I’m sure you already know about the predicament I find myself in with my brother?”“I do, your father came to ask but as I told him, I can only tell what i know to those it directly involves.” I gave her a curt nod and sat down.“Well I need to know, why did the moon goddess paid us brothers with the same mate?” She looked at me with sorrow filled eyes. “This girl, she belongs in the arms of your family. You know how mates work my boy, Jackson is her destined mate, you are her second chance mate as she is yours.”“I don’t u
We had been running for quite some time when Finn slowed to a stop. He shifted behind a tree and came out in shorts hanging low on his waist and pulling shirt over his head. Even in my current mood I couldn’t help but practically drool over his stunning chest shimmering as sweat rolled down where I want my hand to be. When the shirt was over his body I snapped out of my trance and was glad I was in wolf form or he would have seen my list filled eyes and red cheeks. Goddess how did I end up with two such stunning mates? “The store box is right there, I’ll wait over here.” He said walking back into the opening. I nodded my head and went to where he just came from.After a few minutes I walked back to him in a knee length white T-shirt, I found a dress but it was far too short for my liking so I went with this. “What are we doing?”“I have someone I want you to meet. She lives out here to keep connected with the goddess herself and to stay out of the way of pack distractions.”I couldn’
