It’s been a couple of weeks since he found his bunny girl and he’s been following her. He think she knows he’s following her, but she never said anything. He attends training which has been difficult, Diesel gets very possessive and protective of his mate during training, and she’s had to put him in his place and has taken them down a few times, Diesel enjoys sparring with her. She’s slowly coming to accept him, us, she smiles at him now instead of glaring at him. He has yet to actually be alone with her, she’s still avoiding being alone with him, it’s just a matter of time, I’m slowly weaseling my way into her heart. I leave small gifts for her at her door, they are nothing big, just little things that let her know I’m thinking of her and that I love her. When we sit down for dinner, she no longer scoots away from him and allows him to serve her dinner without protest. “Time to get up, mate is already in the forest for their run
Dakota was pacing the living room of his future-in- laws; Diesel was on edge and was ready to snap. “Dakota, son, please try and relax. I promise that she’ll be back. She may have a few injuries, but she always comes back,” his soon to be father-in-law assured him. “She’s a lot stronger than most give her credit for.” “Kota,” Kolby said standing next to her new brother. He looked down at her, she was worried also, she was hugging her stuffy like her life depended on it. “Here’s one of her shirts you can hold onto it.” She handed him a pink shirt that said, Warrior Princess. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. “Thank you Kolby.” He inhaled his mate’s scent and Diesel slowly let her scent help him relax.“How long do these missions usually take?” Drake asked. “It can vary depending on where and the situation, each is different but this one is close to home so hopeful
“Kydence my child, you need to wake up we have a lot to discuss.” A soft voice called to her. She slowly opened her eyes; she sat up as she adjusted her eyes to light from darkness. “Where am I?” She asked. “I can see.” She gasped looking around the garden she was in. “You are in my garden my sweet girl of course you can see.” Kydence looked up to voice of a beautiful, no heavenly beautiful woman. “Who are you? Why am I here? Where’s my family? The young omegas? What about Dewey?” She started rambling on.“Slow down my child.” The woman giggled. “Everyone is safe and sound, they are with their families thanks to you and the rest of my Guards.” The woman said with a warm smile. “Your family has been by your side since you fell. Your mate has been with you as well. He has refused to leave your side. His brother and yours are making sure that he takes care of himself, which hasn&rsquo
“Kyde!” a sweet small voice cried out. Kadence turned a saw her best friend and cousin, Sofia, Alpha Kelvin’s only child and the first future female Alpha of the Shadow Mountain Pack. “Sofia! she said hugging her cousin tight. “It’s about time you got here.” She grumbled at her cousin. “I would have been here sooner, but those damn male Alpha’s were being dicks.” She grunted. “Sofia!” her dad scolded. “Oh dad, please I’ve said much worse.” She giggled.“Dakota, we need to discuss yo…” Drake started to say but stopped and froze in place. “Uh, Drake, you okay?” Kelvin asked. Sofia walked up to him and placed her hand on his cheek. “MATE.” They both said. Drake pulled Sofia into his arms, leaned down and gently kissed her lips. He buried his face into the crook of her neck, inhaled and said, “MINE.&rd
“Dakota,” a sweet voice called his name, “Kota, you need to wake up.” She said. “What time is it?” He moaned as he stretched. “It’s three-thirty, we need to be downstairs at four, my brother’s and dad are already up.” He opened his eyes and was met by the beautiful eyes and smile of his mate. “If you don’t get up they are gonna come in and drag you out.” She warned. He reached over and pulled her, so she was straddling him as they both laughed. He nuzzled her neck and inhaled deeply. “You smell amazing.” She felt him smile against her neck.“Dakota! You need to get your furry ass up!” Kruz said opening the door without knocking. “Awe dammitt!!” He yelped. Kydence was straddling her mate, and he was kissing and nuzzling her neck. Dakota continued kissing Kydence.&n
He took his index and middle fingers, put them under her chin, lifted her face so that she was looking at him. “There’s nothing weird about you.” He told her kissing her nose. She rolled her eyes at him, “you’re supposed to say that you’re my mate.” She frowned as he chuckled and hugged her close as she tried to wiggle out of his hold. She was one for not showing affection in public and that was something he wanted to work on.“What’s the commotion out here?” Alpha Kelvin asked looking around at his family and new family members. “Everything’s fine, Uncle Kelvin, just a misunderstanding.” Kasper said with KC still in his arms. “Kasper, I hope you have a very good reason why my little sister is wrapped in your arms?” Drake said raising his brow. “Kasper let that poor girl go.” Sofia stomped up to him and w
“Are you outta your mind!” Dakota raised his voice startling Kydence. “Sorry princess. I didn’t mean to startle you.” He said kissing her temple. “Drake are you drunk?! I can’t run this pack.” “Of course, you can. You and Kydence will be Alpha and Luna. Since the King and Queen are going to want you to move to royal pack lands then I will have to figure out who my Beta and Gamma are going to be. Since the Shadow leadership will need to stay together. This would be the best way to make sure everyone is taken care of.” Dakota kept shaking his head no. “Brother, I know you can do this.” Drake assured standing in front of his brother.“Dad...” Kydence called out, “the pack doesn’t even show me respect now; you really think making me Luna will change that?” She asked. “Yes, it will make a dif
“Kyde, my child.” Elder Abby called to her niece. “Aunt Abby, please tell me that he’ll be okay.” Kydence sighed. “Of course, he will be okay.” Her aunt said sounding a little offended. “When have I ever lied to you?” Her aunt scoffed. “Never. I’m sorry.” Kydence answered. “So, after all this over, we will be able to live our lives?” “What’s gonna happen to Andrew.” “He will live and move on, but his future is clouded.” Abby sighed. “What does that mean?” Kydence asked with a frown on her face. “It means that he will need to decide if he will move on with a new mate who is waiting for him but finding her is up to him. It will depend on him being consumed by hate and anger.” Abby said. “But right now, all you need to do is be by your mate&rsq
