Luther Val took the time to introduce us to all the vampires present. He could have just introduced Lexi but I saw he made a point to include Ryan and me. I do believe the guy is trying. If he succeeds only time will tell. You don’t just stop being an asshole that was wantinng to rule over all shifters. He has got some work ahead of him. Ryan and I will be watching for him to screw up. I don’t think Lexi will let Valerose fail. After we got done with the vampires Lexi led us over to the wolves. Lexi kept Valerose close by holding his hand. The other hand was firmly in my grasp. Ryan had his hand on her back. All of her mates were touching her just the way she liked it. Lexi was attempting to talk to all the wolves present when Tyler, Jesse, Melissa and Billy came to us. The girls were giggling so I knew they were up to know good. My gut is telling me in the fun way. They bow to Lexi and us. “ My kings. We insist on stealing the queen for a few minutes.” Melissa giggled. Billy al
Valerose I feel like I’m in one of my dreams. I have Lexi in my arms, pressed against my chest dancing. She is smiling up at me. The look in her eyes. It is what I believe is love. Since I have never seen that look directed at me I’m not sure. I have had women look at me with lust or fear. But never love. I have however seen this same gleam in Lexi’s eyes when she looks at Ryan and Luther so I’m pretty sure it is love or at least the beginning of it. I will know for sure when I hear the words from her mouth. For now I’m just going to enjoy the real Lexi pressed against my chest. No longer a dream I have the real thing in my arms. It is better than all my dreams combined. I wasn’t sure if I would ever get to do this. There was a good chance Lexi would reject me. She still can. “ She was never going to reject you without giving you a fair chance. That’s who she is.” Arya says in my head. Am I ever going to get used to that? “ You are going to have to. As for Lexi rejecting you in the
Lexi I took Valerose to Ryan’s packhouse since it was technically the closest. I could feel how anxious Val has been to get me alone. I don’t think he realizes it yet that I can feel his emotions even though we haven’t mated yet and he hasn’t marked me. I know he wants me alone. Yet, he has shown incredible patience. For the stories I have heard patience is not something Val is known for. Rumors, hearsay, is all that is. I need to put all that aside and get to know Val, the man, my mate. The person he is beyond what others think they know. I get the feeling there is so much that he doesn’t show the world. Some he may not know himself. We will figure it out together if that is the case. As we are driving I see Val looking around like he is trying to get his bearings. I know he has never been here before. I take his hand and cradle it in my. Val turns to me with a curious look. “ I can’t thank you enough for how patient you were back there.” I told him. Val smiles. A true smile. On
LexieAt first glance, you would think I’m just an average nineteen-year-old girl. There is nothing about me that stands out if you aren’t looking. I work in a family-run diner in Gwinn, Michigan. I go to the university here to study Zoology. I live by myself in a small two-story house at the edge of town. See plain and simple and until recently I would have completely agreed with you. My name is Alexandria, Lexie for short. And this is the story of where my life changes into a magical story you only see in movies or books.It started on the first day of the snow season and the ground was already coated in a foot of fluffy white stuff and was steadily coming down. “ So this is light snow flurries,” I say to myself shaking my head. I pull my coat closer around me and get in my midnight blue nineteen ninety eight Chevy Silverado. Don't laugh, my dad bought it cheap for me when I got my license. We fixed up together to get it running like a dream. I toss my backpack in the passenger se
Lexie After I shook Aiden’s hand he nearly ran back to his friends. I brought them their order and left the check. They were all suddenly acting weird. They pretty much chugged their coffee and then left like their asses were on fire. Aiden wouldn’t even look at me, not that I expected him to after what happened when I touched his hand. It was like nothing I have ever felt before. As soon as I touched his hand I felt a warm pleasant pulse go through my body. And suddenly everything around me smelt like pine and smoke from a campfire. Then there were the emotions I felt. Lust, comfort, confusion, anger, doubt, denial, and attraction. But who’s emotions they were, I couldn't be sure. I don’t know how but I think I could feel Aiden’s emotions mixed with mine. And the birthmark on my left shoulder started to burn a bit. Which made an already weird situation weirder. I finished all my closing work, grabbed my things, and locked up. I stood at the door looking around. If it wasn’t so co
Lexi Even though I had the heat on full blast I was still cold by the time I arrived home. I jumped out of my truck and raced inside. My home is a simple two story home. The first floor has my living room with hardwood floors and my favorite part, a fireplace. I have a love seat, a recliner and a desk. Since it is just me I don’t need much. Then there is my kitchen and the dining room I never use. I don’t even have a table in it right now, so it is just an open space. I tossed my backpack on the love seat and hung up my coat. I ran up the stairs where I have three bedrooms and one bathroom. No, I don’t have a roommate even though I have the space for at least one. I got this house on such a great deal I don’t need one. I ran to the bathroom and turned on the shower to the hottest setting it would go. When the steam floated in the air I stripped out of my uniform as fast as I could and jumped in. The water instantly soothed me as well as warmed me enough for my teeth to stop chatte
Lexi I made a quick stop at the grocery store before going home. After putting all my things away I noticed I still had two hours before I had to get ready for work. I've had a weird feeling since my run in with Aiden. And it followed me to the grocery store. I kept feeling like I was being watched but there was no one around. It made me feel restless. There was nothing I could do around the house to help calm me. The house was clean and all the laundry was done. I knew I couldn’t focus on studying but I needed to clear my mind. I grabbed my new coat and walked out onto my pack porch and grabbed a shovel. Maybe some physical work that I don’t have to think about will help. My porch isn’t very big. Just big enough for a built-in bench, a small grill and garden table for two. It didn’t take me more than ten minutes and my mind was still cluttered. It might have taken most people longer but for some reason I have been strong and faster than most people I know. It started in my early
Lexi I had another odd dream last night. I don’t remember much of it. There was howling, fangs, claws, red eyes and yellow eyes. I could feel the claws scrape down my arm. I was terrified. Then suddenly I saw that goofy wolf from earlier today and Aiden’s ice blue eyes and a chocolate wolf and I wasn’t afraid anymore. I felt safe. Then my left shoulder started to burn right at my birthmark. It hurt but not bad. All of the sudden it stopped and was replaced with a soothing voice. “ Follow your destiny. Find out who you are. We are all here to guide you. Trust in yourself. Trust in your guardians. Trust in your mates.” It was a calming woman’s voice. I felt a sense of peace wash over me and it chased away the horrors of before. When I woke up I was so confused. What did the voice mean? What guardians? What the hell are mates? And who are we? I swear I’m losing my mind. It is just a dream. That is all. I must be over doing it with school and work. It is causing my mind to play tric
