Just as the sun was peeking out over the horizon an idea hit me. “Hey Love, what do you say we wake everyone up this morning?”
She blinked and smiled. “Okay. What do you want to do? Race to the gym again?”
I nodded. “Yeah.” I handed her phone before I jumped up and got mine and her training clothes out. I changed quickly in the bathroom giving her some privacy. I smirked when the phone chirped but came barreling out of the bathroom in a hurry. “Violet beat us to it we gotta go!” I gasped as she was in the middle of pulling her shirt down and I got a hint of her cleavage.
“I know I saw come on!” She ran out of the door. “We have to run to the main gate. Last one there has kitchen duty for a week!”
I ran behind her, grabbing her up and slinging her over my shoulder. I have practiced this move with her before...her on my back and me jumping down the stairs one flight at a time. I jumped past Gre
I stood there; shell shocked. Fuck!!! “Wait!” I rush out after her, but she has already run past Greg and out the door. I saw his eyes widen before he looked up at me, questionably. I go to run past him to my mate, but I am slammed into the wall. “Sorry Ben.” He said somberly. “She commanded me to stop you from following her.” I gasped. Shit that hurt. “But I have to! Greg, I really screwed up!” I wiggled trying to break free. “Let me go!” I said with everything I had. I could see Greg’s eyes widen again before he looked at me sorrowfully. “Sorry, I can’t. Your commands are getting stronger, but you can’t break one of hers.” He kept his arm on my shoulder. “Let’s go to my office for a while. Let her calm down.” I nodded looking at the floor. What have I done? I tried to reach out to her but she has put up a block on not only our mate bond but also the pack link. I watched my own tears fall to
“You know my dad used to say that mates like to knock each other down a lot.” She chuckled as she came up for air. I laughed as I pulled her down again and tried to flip us over, but she stopped me and stayed balanced on top of me. “Nope. I got you pinned.” She leaned down and started to kiss me again. After a minute she dropped her mouth closer to my ear and whispered softly. “Now how are you going to get out of it? I got you pinned to the floor.” She started to pepper my neck with kisses.I smirked. “Who says I want to get unpinned? I like it here.” I grazed my fingers up her sides underneath her shirt. She stiffened slightly, and I took the chance to try to flip her again. It didn’t work though and she readjusted; pinning me again.She giggled and started on the other side of my neck. “I got you pinned! I got you pinned!” She teased lightly in my ear.I
**Warning, proceed at your own risk, descriptions of torture ahead, near the middle/end of chapter I tried to keep it as less graphic as possible**I woke up slowly, looking around I noticed I was alone in the room. Where did everyone go? I got up and checked the bathroom to be sure, but no one was here. I sighed and changed into my normal uniform, Samantha’s phone wasn’t here but her tools were. Reaching out with my radar I sensed she was in her office, and I could feel her sadness. She must have checked her emails already. Sighing I left the room and walked into her office. I opened the door without knocking as she should have sensed my coming. She looked up from her computer and I could see the evidence of tears.“They want him back.” Was all she said.I closed the door carefully and locked it. Walking over to her silently I took her in my arms and held her tightly. She relaxed in my a
The next day Samantha worked in her office, and I helped her as best as I could. Most of her work through was cut and dry. Review proposals and approve or reject them. One that really caught my attention though was a petition for two middle-aged humans to visit the pack grounds. I had more questions though when she signed it off without even reading it fully.“Love, who are they?” I was very confused. Due to werewolf law we have to be very careful what humans are allowed to visit us. She looked at me and blinked.“Did no one ever tell you? I thought I did....” She looked deep in thought. “Oh crap. I didn’t.” She sighed. “They are Jess’ parents. Penny’s grandparents. They are coming for her shifting party.” She started back on her files, like what she just told me was the most common thing in the world.“Huh???”Samantha loo
The rest of the week went by too quickly. Soon it was Saturday and we were standing outside while Penny ran around in her wolf form. The other kids were laughing and running around also. Invites were sent out to the surrounding packs and some of the pups from my dad’s pack were here. Tim also came by, even though he has no siblings Penny’s age. I can’t help but wonder if he has an ulterior motive. I smirk as I see him again, following around the same girl as the last time he was here, a teenager with her hair dyed a deep purple.“She works in the daycare part-time.” Samantha whispered to me. “She is only 17 years old but she has already graduated high school. She is very smart and is pursuing a job in early child development.”“So you figured it out too, huh.” I chuckle. “How long will he be stuck in limbo?”“She turns 18 in February.” Samantha
(Ben, approx age 8-9)I hear screaming and laughter as I get out of Beta Matthew’s car. My dad sent him here with some work and my dad let me come too. I look around cautiously, I don’t see ‘her.’ Violet catches my attention by waving at me and calling my name, smiling I run over with my bag to the porch. “Hey Vi!” I use the same nickname that Sammy uses.“Hey Ben!” She takes my bag and puts it in the packhouse. “Aren’t you excited? For the slumber party, I mean?”I sigh, “Yeah! Anything to get away from Chris and Jake for a while!”Violet frowns. “Did you remember what I told you before? How to deal with Jake I mean?”I sighed. “Yeah, I got him once but then the next time Chris jumped in... threw me in the mud and told my parents I fell and got mud all over my new clothes.”
Breakfast was somber, it seemed even the other pack members were quieter than normal. Penny was openly crying, a start contrast to how she was yesterday. Nick didn’t leave our sides all night, we woke up and he had slipped into our room overnight. We found him on top of the bed with us, tears running down his cheeks in his sleep.I could feel Samantha’s sadness again, I gripped her hand under our table and squeezed it reassuringly. She gave me a sad smile and nodded. “Hey Nick, we bought you a present.” She said as she handed him a small box. “Ben and I thought you would want it.”I looked on approvingly as he opened it, the new cell phone we bought him staring up at him. He looked at it in awe. “We all added our contacts on there.” I added as he turned it on. “Call us anytime.” He nodded.“All of us got together and loaded a bunch of pictures too.”
Samantha buried herself in her work, try as I might to get her to smile again, she only gives me halfhearted ones. Thoughts of her father and Nick flood her mind, and I hear her mumble in her sleep about them. I sigh, usually the anniversary of the Alpha’s ascension is celebrated pack wide; it was in my parents’ pack. June 2nd we all would party and celebrate until dawn. But here, it was somber.I find her again in her office and I bring our dinner; she has only left her office to sleep for the past three days. Something tells me that if I wasn’t here, she wouldn’t be eating either. I made sure the kitchen made her favorite, hoping she would eat more than a few bites. Opening the door I frowned, she was typing away on her laptop and not paying attention to anything else.“Love?” I start, walking over to her. “Hey Love?” I put my hand on her shoulder and she jumps back. “Hey, I brought din
