LOGINIsabella I stood at the edge of the large pond, glaring into the dark water. Irritation was coursing through my veins as I impatiently tapped my foot on the ground. "DAMIAN MICHAEL KAVANAGH REYNOLDS!" I yelled out loud, as well as over mind link, not giving a shit who heard me. Ace quickly linked me back. "I'm sorry, but Sir Damian is not able to come to the link right now, if you could please ...." I crossed my arms over my chest. "Sir Damian?! You have got to be kidding me?! Ace! I swear, if you make me come in after you I'm evanescing you out by the scruff of your neck!" Ace whimpered and I knew he was bringing Damian forward. The nerve of Ace .... hole! "We just went for a quick swim!" Damian said defensively over link. "You know that we have a meeting! It's our last one as part of this pack, for crying out loud! Add in the fact that you left the laundry on the bed for me to take care of so you could, what, go for a dip?! I liked it better when you were afraid of t
Julia (flashback) Everything around me was on fire. I watched as countless evil souls moved around, heating the outer core of the Earth as they awaited their final trip to the inner core, where they would meet their demise. Oh, how I loathed being down here, surrounded by hatred and negativity. I could feel it latching onto my skin like tiny parasites, desperately trying to make their way into my heart and mind. I wanted nothing more than to get the hell out of here, no pun intended. But if I couldn't even force myself to do this simple task, there's no way that I could go through with anything else that will need to be done. I closed my eyes and took a couple of slow, deep breaths, finding the loud voice that I knew I needed to use. "DIS! HELL-OOOO! HADES! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" It didn't take long for Dis to appear before me. "What do you fucking want, Julia?" Dis had an extremely irritated look plastered across his face, but that didn't bother me as much as the cond
Zane The guys and I decided to let our wolves out for a midday run to have a little fun and blow off some steam. But before we shifted, there was a view none of us could seem to turn away from. "Hate to see them go, but damn do I love to see them walk away," Aiden said as we watched the girls walk down to the barn. "That's gross, Aiden! What's wrong with you!" Manny said as he shoved Aiden.Aiden quickly turned around and put Manny in a headlock. "Excluding my sister, you sick fuck!" Aiden replied as he fought to keep Manny in a headlock. "That's ok, Aiden. I'll be more than happy to watch her!" Manny blurted out before he started laughing.Aiden quickly released his hold and shoved Manny away from him. Kaden snorted and shook his head. "You know who her mate is. You may want to watch your mouth." Aiden crossed his arms over his chest and tried to make himself look taller as he glared at Manny. "Dis will be the least of his worries if he keeps his shit up."We stood
Layla It had been a couple of days since the whole Freya, Maeve, Aunt Rhi thing went down, and a few of us decided to go on a trail ride for some much-needed girl time. Thankfully, my wolf agreed to go to the back of my mind and only come out if necessary. Sometimes, I just needed to gossip with the girls, minus her judgment. Freya, Maeve, Jessabelle, and I took turns playing rock, paper, scissors to see who got to take Dub out this time. Jessabelle, who is the daughter of Dominic and Arrah Summers, started jumping up and down when she ended up being the victor. Her dark blue eyes sparkled with glee as her brown hair bounced, matching her enthusiasm. "YES! I NEVER win!" Jessabelle said with excitement as she started to get Dub saddled up. Amar groaned while he laid down out of the way. I swear he rolled his eyes at her giddiness. "So. Maeve. What was it like?" I asked as I glanced in the direction of her and Bishop, the blue roan quarter horse that she was tacking up. "
Rieka I woke up alone in bed with just my t-shirt and underwear on. I had to admit, I felt pretty damn good. "You should feel good with the amount of sleep you've had. I've been trying to wake you up for hours. Seth took off your bra, shoes, and pants so that you'd be comfortable, then he went to work. He's angry. Hurt, but angry, " Lupa said. I sighed as guilt sank in. As I reached over to tap my phone to see what time it was, the bedroom door opened, allowing a little bit of light to enter the dark room. Seth's lavender and oak scent found its way to me before he even entered the room. He turned on the dim lamp that was on my nightstand, and the glance that he gave me was more than enough to tell me how he was pissed off. "Nice to finally see you're awake," Seth said with a placid tone. I sat up in bed and lowered my head in an early defeat. "I'm sorry, hun, I really should have been more open from the beginning." Seth didn't bother looking at me as he sat down on
Maeve I could tell by the familiar feeling that I was lying on my own bed, and though I was relieved to be back in the present, the sharp throbbing pain in my head made the whispers that I heard sound ten times louder than they were. "What in Goddess' name did the four of you think you were doing exactly, anyway?!?" Uncle Seth asked in an angry, whispered tone. My head throbbed with every word I heard. Jackie immediately snapped back. "We were trying to figure out what the hell is going on with your mate, that's what!" "You'd be wise to watch your attitude with me right now," Uncle Seth warned. Jackie quickly returned the warning tenfold. "And you'd be wise to watch yours! Keep in mind that despite being a member of this pack, I am so only out of my own free will. I might like you, I might respect you, but I won't tolerate being blamed for something I didn't do! I have no problem leaving and bringing half this pack with me!" Uncle Seth let out a growl that was just a ha
Damian The only thing that was going through my mind was how much I had missed Bella and how badly I wanted her. I felt like such a moron for having ghosted her the way that I did. But that's exactly what I was. A young, dumb moron who freaked out because I fell in love and worried about what
Rieka "Hey, Rhi ....." Seth's voice whispered my name sweetly from next to me as he gently rubbed my shoulder. I wrinkled my nose as I rolled away from him, making sure not to kick Amar, who was lying at my feet. I really didn't want to wake up this early today. "Do you want me to tell Jo tha
Rieka We all quietly sat at the dining room table, staring at Izzy and Damian while we ate our lunch as their fresh mating marks stuck out like sore thumbs. "And here I thought that getting horses was crazy, " Blue said as he took a swig of his beer. "I can't believe that you've been living
Isabella "A Gonakadet?! You're part water fairy?! And you NEVER once thought to mention it?! You want me to trust you? You want to work on rebuilding us? But you don't even have the fucking decency to tell me the truth?!" I yelled my questions as I made sure to keep my chest covered. Hypocritical
