Devin's POV
"Where the hell have you been?" I yell as my brother gets out of the car. "Devin I can explan," he replies. I stop him. "You didn't even call and you turned your phone off," I cross my arms. Then out steps a teenage girl. "Devin meet my mate Hannah," Thomas says with a big grin.
"Oh so that's wh you were late. I guess I can give you a break," I say. Even though I am mad at Thomas finding your mate is near impossible so I understand why he couldn't leave. "Nice to meet you Hannah, welcome to the family," I extend my hand out to shake hers.
She is so small and frail. I think I detect a hint of rogue smell. "Yes bro I have got lots to tell you... lots," Thomas says.
Thomas finishes telling me the events of t he past two days and I am shocked. A witch helped Thomas. What? She bought him back to life. She used mind control on rouges. head was spinning. This witch was powerful. She didn't even live in a coven. I had to tell Cole.
Cole was our Alpha and he would know exactly what to do with this information. What my brother and the other wolves dont know is that our pack has been under attck by witches using black magic. Dead wolves have been found around the territory with their hearts ripped out and turned to sludge. Weird symbols were carved into their bodies.
I walk to his office and knock. "Come in" he says. I walk in "Cole we need to talk" I say. He frowns "This must be serious. What's wrong?" I tell hi the story my brother told me earlier. Cole says nothing just sits there thinking about what I just said.
"Bring her to me. We need her," he says. "What if she won't coe. It doesn't sound like she is someone to be messed with," I reply. "If she won't come on her own we will need to use other methods." He says as he hands me a bottle. "Drug her?" I ask eyes wide. "I said bring her to me." He got the final word.
I left his office. I guess I will be making a trip to Chicago. I look at the bottle in my hand. I will not be using this though. I throw out the pills.
I head home and tell Thomas about the trip. "Bro don't stare too hard at her, she is gorgeous," he tells me. I laugh at his suggestion. I have never stared at a woman before in my life. They always come to me. I haven't fucked anyone for a couple of months though it has been a dry spell for me. I have been too busy.
I don't even pack a bag because I know I won't be there that long. I plan to see Stella and use my charm to get her to come back to me. I wear my tightest shirt that makes my muscles pop. I ask Thomas to give me a discription. Tall and blonde. Thomas smirks at me. "Trust me Devin you will know when you see her dude."
I drive to the City and head to Stella's apartment. Suddenly I see a tall blonde walk out the front door with another girl. I can't really see her that well from this distance so I get out and follow her. She heads into a crowded bar. I decide to take a seat opposite her. Holy shit! Thomas was right. She is gorgeous. I realize my mouth is gaped open and shut it. This is not good.
Stella's POV I got home around 6 from work. I was supposed to go for drinks with Tiffany tonight. Tiff had become one fo my best friends since moving to the city. I picked a high waist skirt and a sexy crop. I was going to turn heads tonight. I had not had much male attention since Tyler and I decided to take a break a few months ago. He still calls me every week though. It has been hard, but I get the feeling lately that I didn't love him like I thought I did. I ended up curling my hair and did a light makeup look. Tiffany comes running in. "Damn bitch you look hot," she says. I just laugh, "So do you." as she twirls for me. Tiffany is a cute redhead who pretty much comes to my sholders. She is sexy and curvy. I give her a little smack on the ass. "Okay pre-game time," she says as she grabs the vodka. She pours each of us a shot. "Here is to getting lucky tonight," she says and we both down the shot. We get to the bar around 10 and it is
Stella's POV I wake up with the sun shinning through the curtians. Oh, it's 10am. I hop out of bed and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I put my hair into high pony becaukse I know it's going to be hot out there, 95 degrees according to my phone. Shorts and a tank top it will be. My stomach starts to tell me I need food and I also need to let Tiffany know that I haven't been stuffed in someone's trunk. I head downstairs and spot Thomas on the couch watching TV. "Damn! You scared me." I said. "Sorry my brother gave me a key." He replies with a cheesy grin. "I could have killed you; you know?" I narrow my eyes at him. "Yeah that's true I have seen you fight," he laughs. "Food?" I ask. "Duh I'm alway hungry." He smiles as he flips through the channels. I cook us up some toast with eggs and bacon. As we sit down to eat, I ask Thomas. "So why did you tell your brother about me?" His eyes widen trying to think of what to say.
Stella's POV After my lunch with the boys I have Thomas take me to get some wine. We talk about Hannah and how she has enrolled in school. She has a lot of catching up to do. By the time we pull up to the cottage it's about 3:30. I head to the couch and pull out my laptop thinking I might as well get my grad school applications out of the way. I work on the applications for a few hours and decide to give it a rest my stomach starts to rumble again. I head to the fridge to see what I can whip up. Spaghetti with garlic bread and salad it is. I stat cooking when I hear a knock at the door and it's Devin. "Hey, I wanted to apologize for my over reaction earlier, you guys were just having fun," he says. I give him a stern look then a smile "apology accepted," I say putting my hand out for him to shake it. He has rough hands whcih means he works hard. I do like a hard-working man I think to myself. "I am making dinner and I am all by myself. D
Cole's POV Two of my most powerful warriors are dead. Their heads ripped from their chests and turned to black sludge. Witches, I can smell them. Their black magic symbols hang in the trees and the stench of their maagic is heavy in the air. "What do we do here Alpha?" My Gamma Bryan asks. "We need to figure out where these witches are and destroy them," I reply. Anger overcomes me and I let out a loud growl. I begin to pace back and forth trying to control my wolf Stephan." "Hopefully, the witch I have hired can help us find the and get rid of them" I said. "You hired a witch?" Bryan asks. "Yes, a very powerful one," I add. Bryan looks at me intrigued. "Alright boys load them up we need to take them back home to thier families." I am not ready to lie to another family about how their loved one died. I know it is what I have to do for now until we figure out what is truly going on. I am ready to be home and meet this witch. I call Devin
Cole's POV I reach my office and swing open the door. I am so angry I throw everything off my desk. I roar into the air so loud that I am sure the entire pack could hear me. Devin walks in. "Bro are you okay?" he asks. "No, I am not okay, this is not good." I reply as I start pacing the floor. "I don't want a mate damn it! She's the witch, isn't she?" I shout. Devin looks at me with an expression I have never seen him give me before and there is a sadness behind it. "Her name is Stella." I really did not like the way he said her name, there was something going on. I swore I saw a flash of something in his eyes. I move on. "I am supposed to marry Alpha Leo's daughter from Blood Moon and now I have a mate," I yell. My wolf Stefan growls, he does not like my tone when speaking about our mate. Truth be told I did not like my tone either. Pacing around like this makes me think about her more. Her soft skin and those beautiful pouty lips. Damn I want her ri
"Cole Anderson that is not cool. You shouldn't call your mate a witch even if she's not that nice," Elise scoffs. "No, Elise she's a witch like an actual power wielding witch!" I exclaim. Her eyes grow wide "Really!" She is shocked. Elise looks deep in thought. "I would still like to meet her. The Moon Goddess does not make mistakes Cole, she was meant for you," she says. "You also know I have always been interested in magic," she smirks. "Absolutley not"! I snap. Austin runs in soaking wet. "Why are you wet?" Austin replies nervously. "Well, I took her out back to the guest house. She tried to leave to go see Devin. When I tried to stop her, she used her powers to throw me in the pool." I run out the back door. Anger and jealousy are all I can feel, my mate wants to see Devin. That can never happen. I can smell her intoxicating scent coming from the direction of the woods. I catch up to her a couple of yards in. I grab her and slam her up against a t
"Give me your hand." She doesn't hesitate giving me her hand. "Close your eyes and clear your mind. Think of a bright light surrounding you," I say. I lay my hand on top of hers. A warmth radiates through my body. The crickets get louder, and electricity grows thick in the air. I close my eyes and search deep within her mind. "He has blonde hair and crystal blue eyes," I tell her. "I can see him" Elise squeals. Suddenly we are standing on a pier. Elise is holding my hand. It is foggy out and I can hear foghorns from boats in the distance. Water laps against the pier. "This has to be somewhere in the northeast." I say. Suddenly he is walking toward us and Elise's body jolts. "Sebastian"! Someone says behind him. A girl runs over to him and grabs his arm. Sebastian smiles at her. Elise Growls "Oh no! He has found someone." There is panic in her voice."Hey little sister!" Sebastian says. I feel Elise relax. "Are you ready for your alpha cer
Cole's POV The next morning, I wake up. I ask Austin and Jane another warrior to bring Stella to the meeting place. I don’t want to be close to her. When Austin pulls up, she jumps out of the car. What is she wearing? She has on some tight black yoga pants that hug her ass so well and a tight white tank that shows some cleavage. She finished off with a pair of hiking boots and a backpack. I catch her beautiful scent and I have to turn away. I notice all the warriors staring at her. “Whoa who is that hottie?” one of my warriors Chad says. He starts to walk over to her. I throw my hand out to block him. “Don’t even fucking think about it, she’s not for you,” I say growling. “Sorry Alpha,” he says shrinking away. I feel like I keep inching my way towards her. Devin pulls up with two more warriors. Things between us have been tense since yesterday. “Devin"! Stella calls as Devin starts towards us. “MINE” I growl. I grab Stella by the arm and
