Chapter 14: Something Extra

Author: Margaret Savoy
last update Last Updated: 2025-07-31 00:16:15

The job that took me far away from Huntsville was not an accident. I need solitude to process my relationship with Esmerelda. A human was not meant to be in a shifter’s community, not to mention a sick human.

Once complete, the mating bond would make me miserable if it didn’t compel me to follow her into death. The fates had placed me in a no-win situation. Having tasted her scent and known her kind nature, I knew I was doomed. Her allure was irresistible.

My wolf scolded me for my unnecessary adventure. Magnus’s interest in her was a constant threat. My wolf wanted to challenge him and fight my pack brother to the death. Knowing our life would be incomplete without Esmerelda, I had to accept that the deal was done. Now, I needed to overcome my fears and bury my hesitations.

I thought I could fool the Fates and only had to keep my little human safe to satisfy the bond. Following her undetected was odd behavior, and a waste of time. My wolf was going mad in her presence. The war betwee

  • The White Wolf   Chapter 30: The Round Table

    I was not made of delicate glass. Ghost and the rest of the occupants at the compound seem to think otherwise. The trauma of transforming into a wolf still freaked me out, but being mated to Ghost was spiritually enchanting. Beyond the amazing sex, the connection we had was unreal. I had longed to be cared about so deeply. As far as predetermined mates went, I hit the lottery. Ghost was so thoughtful, kind, intelligent, and off-the-charts handsome. Every mannerism and movement was so sexy and confident that it drove me crazy. The insecure part of me wondered if our bond was more of a belief than true love. Would he tire of me like everyone else did? Was responsibility being misinterpreted as love?“Esme?” Ghost caught me again in stasis. The emotions and information I was processing were overwhelming. My body would shut down, diverting more energy to my brain. I couldn’t understand the turns my life had taken recently. Understanding what was fact and what was disingenuous was challeng

  • The White Wolf   Chapter 29: Fated Mates

    Jane, the romantic, had packed a picnic lunch for us to take down by the lake. We needed the fresh air and a break from the room. Jane had also organized a battalion to give the suite a good cleaning and wash the bedding. Esmerelda and I hadn’t talked much over the last few days. The crazed lust between us was ebbing, and we had begun to make love, exploring the more passionate side of our bond.My brothers had begun to mill in the background rather than stay completely hidden. Esme didn’t seem disturbed by their presence. We walked hand in hand toward the grand lake, surrounded by sweeping views of the mountain range. Distant pastures looked like a patchwork quilt on some mountainsides, while others were covered with evergreen and deciduous trees. The last of the fall foliage sparsely hung to the trees, signaling the transition to winter soon.I laid a decorative striped wool blanket on the grass near the water’s edge. The wind made light ripples over the lake’s surface. Esme curled

  • The White Wolf   Chapter 28: Two Auras

    As the morning sun broke over the eastern ridge, the rumble of Cyrus’s truck echoed through the valley. The engine hummed through the trees, silencing the warblers hunting for their breakfast. During the night, Esmerelda had shifted into her human form on her own, probably unknowingly, while in deep sleep. My control was practiced for over a decade. My wolf and I had built trust and were excellent partners.Esme heard the truck, too, but failed to move. Her breathing became irregular as Cyrus approached us, carrying clothes and a sheet. She stayed curled in a fetal position while I quickly dressed in sweats. “Thanks, man.” I took the sheet from him and wrapped my mate, scooping her up and carrying her close to my chest. “How did you find us?”“Gunnar took a phone in his mouth and followed your scents. He called us when he found you asleep.”“His shadow skills are improving.”“I think you were a little distracted.” Cyrus led the way toward the truck, opening the back door for me to cli

    Condemnation was slow to form. I took my mate without her consent. She sank into my grasp as our orgasms retreated. We were floating outside our bodies in pleasure.“Ghost.” My name on her lips so reverently gave me hope. “What was that?” She purred at me.“I marked you as my mate.” The strength of my conviction waned as she tightened against me.“You bit me?” Her hand went to her throat to find the evidence. Fingers grazed over the four punctures, marring her beautiful skin. “Why did you do that?”Before I could answer, her hands gripped her stomach as it lurched. She looked at me in horror. “What did you do to me?” She shrieked in terror and jumped off me in time to vomit in a shrub.“What’s happening?” Her body shook and forced her onto all fours. “Ghost! Jake! What’s happening to me?” Pain and fear edged her words as I stood in my own shocked despair.Bones broke as they rearranged themselves for the first time. Esmerelda screamed and cried through the transformation process. Shif

  • The White Wolf   Chapter 26: The Supermoon

    The next month, I was happy playing house with my little witch. We still hadn’t discussed everything the Doc disclosed about her genetics or mine. She didn’t know shifters existed in the world. I had a suspicion she was aware of her abilities, even if just subconsciously.Our routine was firm. She slept through most of the morning while I worked until lunchtime in my office. We would have a long leisurely lunch, and afterward, Esme would spread her schoolwork out on the table and work until dinner. Short strolls around the property triggered her hunger, and we spent the night cooking and eating together. We slept entwined around each other all night.Her Friday and Saturday night shifts at the bar were the only deviations from our routine. Despite her insistence that she could handle the effort, I couldn’t help but worry. I sat at the bar, my eyes never leaving my girl all night.The school allowed her to finish Statistics and Psychology online, but she had to go in two afternoons to

  • The White Wolf   Chapter 25: A Theory

    Dr. Sawyer had Adam moved to his own room so we could have our privacy. Esmerelda was still under observation for her injuries. My body enveloped hers as we slept together on the small hospital bed. My mind raced from all the information I had learned. Witches were a lore I didn’t know truly existed. I began to wonder what other enhanced creatures there were in the world.For Dr. Sawyer’s research, I allowed him to take a sample of our blood. I trusted the information would stay safe since he and his son were also participants. I’ll have to meet with Cyrus tomorrow to update him on everything and my speculation about the shifter murders in the valley.“Ghost.”“I’m here, baby girl.”“I’m hungry.”“Cheeseburgers?”“Yes, please.”Deisal was still positioned outside the room. I shot him a text giving him our order. He sent back a thumbs up.“Deisal’s on it.” She turned in my hold to face me. Her mouth pressed on my neck, making me shiver. Soft kisses trailed toward my mouth. Our proper g
