Mag-log inLayla My mind was swirling with everything that'd been thrown at me. This is NOT how I anticipated the day would go when I woke up this morning. After learning about Aunt Rhi and Uncle Seth's decision to step down, I decided to find Cyrus. As I made my way towards the closest gazebo, the wind blew his scent of gunpowder and sandalwood towards me, making my heart flutter as I inhaled deeply. "Can we pack tonight?" Phoenix asked with a pleading whimper. I swear to the Moon Goddess I'm going to go take a cold shower if you don't stop acting like a hussy. "All these years you forced me to behave while everyone else got to have fun!" Phoenix replied angrily before going quiet. I shook my head and looked up to see Cyrus walking towards me. "I knew you wouldn't leave me hanging," he said with a grin as he winked at me. I have never wanted to punch AND kiss anyone so much in my life ...... "When did you first find out that I was your mate?" I asked him as I crossed my arm
Rieka Seth, Jo, Sam, Sylvia, and I had a brief conversation with Councilman Walter Bishop before we went looking for the kids. Walter really did impress me. Not only was he a reasonable man, but he had a kind look about him thanks to his soft, hazel eyes and short, light blonde hair. But let me tell you what, when he got pissed off, he didn't hesitate to let his anger show, like when we heard Stacy question the decisions Selene and Fenrir had made. "I'm going to ignore the fact that you have a blue wolf right now," Walter said to Maeve, breaking up the tension between her and Sam. "Is the God of the underworld really your mate?" Maeve looked into Luke's dark eyes and smiled as she nodded her head. "And you," Walter said as he pointed at Layla. "Your mate is the son of the lycan God?" Layla crossed her arms over her chest just like her father does when he's trying to hide his emotions. "I haven't accepted him yet." A large smile formed on Cyrus' face. "You haven't rejecte
Maeve "MAEVE?!" my brother yelled my name as Kayin ran towards the voices of those who were disrespecting us.I didn't exactly plan on shifting in front of everyone like this, but obviously, my wolf has a temper. As Kayin rounded the corner, she came face to face with Darin, Shane, and Stacy. Their eyes widened as they stared at my wolf. I want to think that it was out of fear, but I suspected it was because Kayin was blue. "What the fuck are you?!" Stacy asked, making sure to keep her distance from my wolf. Kayin lowered her head and let out an angry growl as she took a step towards the tanned-skinned asshole, his brunette best friend, and their bleach-blonde bitch who was hiding behind them. Before Kayin had a chance to make her move, the scent of peppermint and chamomile captured our attention ..... and without looking I knew our mate was here. "Don't do anything I'd do, love," Luke said quietly as he placed a hand on Kayin's back to help calm her. Kayin may have
Layla Phoenix was carrying on in my mind like a crazed animal, begging me to go to the strange man who just crashed the meeting. But instead of listening to my wolf, I used every bit of strength I had to keep control over her, and I quickly made my way to the kitchen and out the back door. Finding my mate on my eighteenth birthday may have been what I wanted; it's what every werewolf wants. But now that it had actually happened, I was overwhelmed by emotions. It wasn't the romantic encounter I thought it would be. Instead, it was VERY public, and the thought of running off with or being rejected by my mate as my parents were getting ready to leave the pack cut deeper than I anticipated. It was too much .... just way too much ..... "Layla?" Aiden called out my name with concern in his voice as I hurried along the back of the building. "Layla, did you see him?! He's SOOO handsome!" Phoenix cooed in my mind. But I continued to ignore my wolf .... why the fuck is the banquet
Rieka I hated summits. As if it weren't bad enough that I had to be surrounded by so many people, I needed to dress somewhat formally as well. The dress I had on was an ombre color, starting black at the top and transitioning into a mixture of soft earth tones at the bottom. I hated how fancy it was, and was jealous of the fact that Jo had a simple blue dress on that matched Sylvia's hair, while Sylvia was wearing her bohemian tiered rainbow dress. "It's not going to kill you to dress up once in a while," Lupa said with a sarcastic chuckle. I ignored my wolf as I sat in front of Jo's large antique mirror, staring blankly at my reflection as Mia and Jo did my hair and makeup while Sylvia patiently waited for them to finish so that we could leave. At least I wouldn't be alone in my suffering. Normally, only Alphas, Lunas, and their children were involved in the summit meetings. But since Seth and I didn't have any children of our own, Freya, Falco, Layla, Maeve, and Aiden we
Rieka Seth and I were holding hands as we walked quietly towards the banquet hall. It was such a relief when the last of the Alphas and Lunas had finally arrived. I'm sure most of them were preparing for tomorrow's meetings, but the only thing I cared about was getting something to eat and then returning to our room. "You know we don't have to go to the buffet. I can take you out for dinner if you want," Seth offered. I shook my head. "The banquet hall is closer, and the buffet food is already cooked. Which means I get food in my stomach quicker. When we get back to our room, I want to see if I can find something in Gram's books about her involvement with what happened." "Good luck with that," a familiar man's voice said from behind us. Seth and I stopped walking and turned around to see Peter, Alice, Chris, and Chloé approaching us. Thanks to Peter being a demonic vampire and marking Alice, they didn't age a day. But Chris and Chloè have. Chloé had visible gray in her gre
Rieka Seth and I were sitting quietly at the long wooden desk across from Jacqueline Tubbs, waiting for her to say something .... anything at all. We had told her that we were interested in helping rogues in need get back on their feet. But instead of being happy, the beautiful, curvy woman with
Rieka The crisp morning air was thick with the scent of autumn. I inhaled deeply as Seth and I walked over to the land that used to belong to my family so we could see how the new construction was coming along. "I can't believe that Roxie and Blue are moving out after this weekend," I whispere
Jaycee After I took a shower at the gym I made my way back towards the packhouse. I wasn't oblivious to all of the glances others sent my way, only to catch them looking away as soon as I made eye contact with them. I knew that I needed to handle things on my own, regardless of how uncomfortab
Rieka When Roxie and Blue walked into the meeting room, I couldn't believe how much she was already showing. She didn't have a huge baby bump, but it was very obvious that she was pregnant. "Don't look at me like that Rhi. I know our terms aren't as long as humans', but this is crazy," Roxie s
