The next day I am sitting in my office while Wyatt, Phil, and our dad go over some finances. I am trying to focus on what they are saying and doing... something about an off shore account that seemingly disappeared overnight? I can’t focus, my mind just keeps going back to what I found last night. Going through hundreds of posts regarding the ‘Demon’ made it impossible for me to sleep. One of the latest posts described how he mangled and disfigured another alpha over a disagreement! How ruthless and horrible! And the whispers were even saying that he found his mate recently! Some of the newer pictures kept showing the same amber colored wolf close by whenever the Demon was caught on camera. The poor woman! There were also supposedly videos of the Demon in action, but I couldn’t talk myself into opening them. I don’t think I want to see some of things that were described in those posts. Goddess, if those stories are true then what am I supposed to do at this meeting? My tho
*Abby* “Oh of course!” I nearly squeaked out. “Please, sit!” I motioned to the chairs as I sat back down. Beta Violet and Jake sat beside my brother while Samantha sat beside me. Around me I couldn’t help but notice eyes watching me. Samantha seemed oblivious though as her mate helped slide her chair under the table before sitting himself. “So, tell me, Alpha Abigail.” Samantha started. “How long have you been alpha for?” My heart jumped into my throat. “Uh, um. Not long.” I admitted. “Not quite a month.” “And is this your first major meeting?” “Uh... yeah.” I blinked. She only nodded. “I see. I can tell you’re a little nervous.” She smiled warmly. “No need to be, not around me, anyway. I don’t bite.” She giggled. I go to open my mouth when a loud voice sounds close to where we were sitting. “Alpha Sam Silver!!! The Demon himself!!! What are you doing sitting with that weakling?!” Looking up another alpha in his twenties is looking at us and sneering. I can’t help the gro
Wyatt messaged me as he was reading through the contract. I replied. Beside me Samantha started to giggle. “Sorry, I don’t mean to make you more nervous....” “Oh no! It's not that!” I nearly studder out. “It's just that... this is a lot.” I admitted. “But we would be very happy to work with you.” “So, we have a deal?” Samantha smiled and reached out her hand. “Deal.” I nodded, grasping her hand and shaking it. “That’s my sister in law for you, doesn’t waste a second to close a deal.” I looked up as an unknown man walked up to our table. He had dirty blonde hair cut very short on his head. Behind him was a smiling brown haired woman. “Well, you know me. Straight to the point.” Samantha chuckled. “Alpha Abigail, may I introduce my brother in law, Benjamin and Jake’s older brother, Alpha Christopher Sheilds and his Luna, Laura Sheilds from the Black Hill pack. Chris, this
“What do you mean, he won’t leave you alone?” “Just that, he is trying to take his rejection back. But I know it's because he just wants the title.” I sighed. “And what makes it worse is that I can’t command him to leave…” “Did you accept it?” Samantha asked. “The rejection?” I nodded. “Yes, as soon as I woke up. I felt him disconnect from me… then I felt a massive wave of power… like something was holding me back.” “Hmmm….” Samantha mused. I noticed her look at Violet, they must be sending a mind link about me. I bet they are rethinking their treaty with me now. “I’m sorry. I should have told you up front what a disaster I am. If you want to cancel our agreement I understand.” But Samantha smiled and shook her head. “No, I’m not going back on my word. But I must admit, I have never heard of an alpha either rejecting their true mate or being rejected who felt stronger afterwards. Normally it should leave you feeling drained….” “You think the Goddess has already chosen her se
*Abby* We are all standing outside, the alpha here was instructed to clear out the training area for the fight. It’s been half an hour since the council’s ambassador sent each of the fighting teams to the pack house to get ready. My heart was racing as I looked around. Many of the wolves were taking bets, and a couple were laughing. Wait, what was that? They were wondering if Samantha would give another ‘lesson?’ What are they talking about? “You’re in for a treat.” Christopher laughed as he walked over to where Wyatt and I stood near the front of the crowd. “I don’t know what I’m more excited about... Samantha fighting or what she is asking for....” “I bet she is going to ask for his pack.” Ron mused as he and Orla followed over. “Want to take a bet on that?” Luna Luara laughed as Orla smiled to herself. “Sitter duty for a week?” “Okay! And when I win...” Ron stopped and thought to himself. “I can finally start those treatments you are getting from Samantha!” Chris laughed.
A command in wolf form?! That is impossible unless the alpha is commanding someone from their pack! What is going on?! I want to think that the answer is just that I am terrified of the overwhelming aura and power that is radiating from who many call the ‘Demon,’ but for some reason that I cannot explain I can’t believe that. I have been on the receiving end of many commands in my rebellious teenage years, and this feels exactly like that! I glance at Wyatt whose face is pale and his eyes wide as he stares straight ahead. A growl and a bark from Samantha bring me back to the fight, now Fredrick is face down on the ground, trembling and struggling to get back up. He was still trying to fight back??? The overpowering aura that was radiating from the field was staggering and he seemed oblivious! Was he trying to get himself killed?! Samantha bared her fangs again and the silver from her teeth reflected from the moon. If Fredrick were to get bitten by those teeth.... “Fredrick, comp
*Abby* I sighed as I looked at the ceiling of my hotel room, the events of tonight still reeling in my head. After the punishments were carried out many of the other packs left the pack grounds to return home. We had planned to return to our own pack as well tonight, but Samantha asked me to stay back and meet with her for a little longer. Sighing, I looked at the clock. The sun would rise soon, but I still couldn’t sleep. The conversations we had kept replaying in my mind, but I was grateful for new friends and allies. With a huff, I turned over and closed my eyes, falling into a deep sleep. ~~~ Ah, the clearing again. Overhead the moon was full and bright. Brighter than I ever noticed before. I stood and stared at the giant orb in the sky for what seemed like hours. “Ki-Kitten? Are you there?” I gasped as the all too familiar voice rang out. It sounded pained, was he hurt? “Yeah, where?” I looked around frantically, where was he? I hurried over to the old log and gasped as
*Abby*The next week was wearing me down. The piles of paperwork in front of me just seemed to climb higher and higher. I haven’t had any more weird dreams lately and as strange as it may sound, I am disappointed. Even if all of those interactions with a strange man who called me ‘Kitten’ were just figments of my imagination, my subconscious, they still made me feel better.To have someone care for me like a mate should... it was something I desperately wanted and craved. But it just seemed like it wasn’t in the cards for me. Sure, I know that second chance mates are real, and Samantha told me to trust the Goddess but I don’t know what to do.I’m lonely.“What do you think, Shadow?” I asked the cat who mewed back at me. “Should I wait and trust?” Suddenly, Shadow jumped on my desk, causing the papers in front of me to go flying! “Shadow! What has gotten into you?” I scolded as Shadow jumped down. All of the documents were scattered on the floor, and only one single envelope remained o
