Storms POVWe had gathered everyone in the mess hall of the pack house. They’re chatter was excruciating as it pounded in my head. I closed my eyes and touched my temples. I felt Jared move beside me before I finally called out with my Luna voice. “All of you hush!” The room quickly fell silent you could hear a pen drop. I opened my eyes and took a deep breath. “Listen I know there’s a lot of confusion going on let me explain…”Then I went on about the mysterious outsiders that had wanted Diego and I’s powers for a reason unknown. The false deal that was struck, Diego’s sacrifice. They stood in shock looking at me heads bowed joining our mourning.“What will happen now?” One of the older members asked. “Jared will resume the position of Alpha by my side until the triplets are old enough to run the pack. It is the will of the goddess…she has bound us together.” I bit my lip trying not to cry. The loss of my mate all too new to think about a new mate bond with someone else. “And wh
Storms POV I was tossing and turning. Dreams running through my head. Images ran past my eyes in a blur. It was as if I was spinning around and around but then my mind stopped and settled. It started out completely black but then a tiny flame popped up in the distance. I walked towards it. The closer I got the bigger and hotter the flame burned and the more I could see. The fire it climbed up a building. People that looked like shadows were running frantically trying to get away but the fire it engulfed them. Finally I could hear, people were screaming and crying. Trying to escape in every direction. I followed the lines of fire they all went back to one spot. Someone was standing there head to the sky and arms to their sides. The fire it flowed out of their body. I gasped. “Diego?”The figure whipped its head around and looked at me. It was Diego my poor Diego. His hair was out grown, his face scruffy his eyes devoid of the spark they once held. “I’m sorry I’m so sorry.” Was all t
Jared’s POVI had put out SOS invites to all the nearby packs hoping they would respond with urgency. I asked them to meet in two days time we would be set up in the clearing. I kept raking my hands through my hair slamming my hands on the table. I could feel the hurt and anguish pouring in from Storm. She wasn’t trying to hide it. A part of me was grateful. We had a strong bond but she was always holding a part of herself back. One I would never blame her for though. I was thinking of her and the boys. I just wanted them to be safe. So many plans and arrangements would have to be made. If they found out we had left our pack unprotected would they come back for the boys? I certainly needed help guarding everything I loved here and what was right in front of me. I couldn’t let anything happen to Storm, I would stay by her side. She was going to have to do the hardest thing ever, I most certainly don’t think I would have been able to do it. Hours went by I just sat in the office sorting
Jared’s POVMy phone on the night stand began to buzz constantly. It pulled me out of my slumber. I fumbled for it my fingers finally making contact I looked at the screen squinting. They were messages from the main surrounding clans. They agreed to meet. Some even disclosed they had seen weird beings in red robes lurking about their territories, eyeing their pure members. Even sightings of Diego were being sent. I closed my eyes and exhaled then I peered over at Storm she was still fast asleep I gently stroked her hair for a moment. Then ventured out of bed as I heard the boys starting to coo as they were awake and screaming “dada” over and over in unison. Storm began to stir. She rolled over sleepy. “Where are you going?” She whispered. I smiled at her. “The boys.”She listened for a minute and shook her head at their dada mantra. “I’ll be there in just a second.”“Take your time.” I said and went to each of their rooms getting them out of their cribs. They began to crawl around,
Storms POV The day was lovely. Not too hot and not too cold. I could feel the air rushing through my hair giving me new life. The boys giggled in their stroller at the birds, bees, butterflies that they saw. Just as soon as I felt at peace I heard footsteps coming quickly. My whole body tensed ready to attack but then I felt Jared’s presence. “What are you doing out here?” I wondered surprised. “I wanted to spend time with my family. With everything going on I’ve neglected it for far too long.” He then wrapped me up in his arms and buried his nose in my hair as he took a deep breath in. I felt not just mine but his tension as well leave our bodies. He let me out of his embrace and held my hand and together we pushed the stroller through the trails talking about when we were growing up, old friends, all the things we should have done so long ago but we got caught up in a whirlwind of chaos. As we ended our walk and made it back to the pack house I rested my head on Jared’s bicep.
Storms POVI was running through the forest at break neck speed. The trees were a blur as I jumped and dodged their roots that jutted out of the ground. The wind was whipping through my fur, the ground shifting beneath my paws. My wolf Rain and I were panting as we tired out. But we didn’t want to stop oh we loved to run. When we ran the world ran with us. The sun was beating down fueling us with its rays. Coming upon a stream we decided to rest and bask in its warmth. Curling up in a near by meadow we rolled around and then found a comfortable position. It was days like this we wished to go undisturbed. But we knew it would come to an end shortly. Mom and dad never let us stay out too long especially not in wolf form. Hi I am Storm and my wolfs name is rain. Why the name Storm? When I was born I came out with a full head of hair that was so light it was practically white I had one grey eye and one black colored eye. I was marked by the moon Goddess herself with a cres
Diego’s POVI woke to a pounding on my door. It was loud as if they were angry. “Alpha don’t make me break down this door!” My Beta Jared yelled. “Go away and let me sleep!” I whined back. “It’s 3:30pm my dude. The ball starts at 7pm and it’s going to take us two hours to get there. Get your ripe ass up and go get ready I can smell you from behind this door.” He scolded me. “Piss off!” I threw a pillow at my door and groaned as I rolled out of bed. I wiped my hands across my face as my wolf Asher started doing circles inside my head. ‘Can you calm down in there I just woke up.’ I said. ‘No you need to get up and get going right now! I can feel something. I think we are meeting our mate today. You need to get ready! Make us look handsome!’ He retorted at me. ‘You said we would meet our mate last year.’ I rolled my eyes at him. ‘I’m 25 buddy we still have time.’‘NOW!’ He growled.
Storms POVI couldn’t believe it our mate! We met our mate! Rain was so happy she was prancing around in my head. He was tall, tan and very handsome his eyes were deep green with amber flakes in them like fire flakes, his hair looked thick and wavy. I wanted to run my hands through it. ‘Later Storm later when we ride him off into the sunset and he marks us tonight.’ Rain said in my head. ‘Rain! You dirty bird.’ I gasped but didn’t mind the idea myself. I blushed as I realized I was still holding his hands thinking these dirty things. I slowed my pace down as we neared my parents house. It wasn’t a bad house but I was suddenly embarrassed that I wasn’t richer. “We’re here.” I said sneaking a peek at him. He was looking at the house with a twinkle in his eye. “You grew up here?” He asked. “My whole life.” I replied. “I love it.” He said squeezing my hand. It gave me some reassurance. I lead him up the porch steps and my parents threw op
