Damien POVI was very hesitant on leaving Rose this morning but I had blown off training enough since I found her. My father burned into my head at a young age “A pack is o Lu as strong as it’s alpha.” I train to my hardest everyday with my warriors. Unlike other packs, I train my warriors like they are alphas themselves. That is what has guaranteed my pack to be the strongest in the US. When is woke up I excepted Jackson to be awake, but instead he was out cold cuddled into Rose’s back. I decided I would be nice and let him sleep until I was done in the shower. We are both in for a rude awakening from our almost two week vacation from training. The hot water cascading down my body felt amazing against my tight muscles. I have been so stressed being worried about the condition I found Rose in to all the events that have unraveled me since I brought her back to my pack. I knew finding my mate wasn’t going to be easy but I never would have guessed in a million years it would be this ha
Damien POV After our ten-mile run, we went on to do two hundred push-ups and sit-ups. Two weeks ago I could have blown right through all of these but today I feel like my muscles are turning into jello. Jackson doesn't seem like he's doing any better than I am. I started to regret not sticking to training but my mate needed me and I will always be there when she, well they, need me. "Alright, guys! Pair up. We're going to do some sparring. After 15 minutes you will switch partners. Once everyone has cycled through once, you will switch from offense to defense and so forth!" Darius bellowed through the crowd. "Alpha, you will start with me. Beta you will start with Jermone." Darius said with a smile. "You know, I have never understood why you like to spar with me." I chuckled to him getting into my defensive stance. "Because if I want to be able to defend my pack to the best of my ability, then I need to be able to fight like an alpha and I need to be able to take blows from on
Rose POV When we got to Damien's office, the door was cracked open and I could see a man sitting inside in a chair. The closer I got to the door the better I could see the man. From a distance away I thought he was an older man but he can't be any more than 26 years old. He has short black spiky hair with piercing blue eyes. Even sitting down, his muscles bulge right out of his shirt. He looks like he doesn't have a nice bone in his body. Everything about him screams respect, yet his aura doesn't hold a high-ranking title. While I was lost in my thoughts, Jackson dragged me into the room and was already pulling me down to sit on a couch. The tension is so high in here I swear you could cut it with a knife. Damien stared at the man in the chair, while the man in the chair looked everywhere in the room but at one of us three, and Jackson kept looking between the two of them. "So what is the reasoning behind this?" Jackson asked like he had no idea what this was about. "Darius sai
Jackson POV Everything changed so fast, my brain couldn’t even process it. One minute I wanted to string Darius’s mate by her head for having a part in the rogue attack against my pack. The next I’m petrified my mate is going to burst into flames. I knew when a witch starts to come into their powers they are out of control, but I didn’t think it was this out of control. When she started to glow I thought she was going to start shooting off magic like fireworks. I’m all my time I have spent around witches, I have never seen any make blue fire like that. I was more amazed then I was terrified. I have the most magnificent mate there is. When Rose demand we hide Hazel here and let her train her in magic, I was furious. But I was also in awe of her. She wants to protect the witch that helped Max try to kill her or whatever it is he wants with her. I understand why she feels that way, she knows better than anyone what Maximus is capable of. When Rose left the room, the energy of the room
Rose POVWhen I walked out of Damien's office I was furious. I'm not as fragile as they think I am. I'm not surprised that Maximus is coming after me. I was always his favorite doll to play with because I wouldn't break easily. He thrives off of making others weak. I stomped all the way to Damien's room, well my new room, mad at the world. I have never done anything to anyone that was so wrong for me to have to deal with such misery. Alpha Maximus did say during one of his play times of "how close can I push Rose to death", what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.So many things should have killed me and didn't but I don't feel like I'm any stronger. I have been surprising myself with the new backbone I have recently gained. I never in a million years would have thought I would ever talk to anyone the way I have my mates. Or even spoke up about those two evil bitches.When I got to the bedroom door, I grabbed the door handle so tight, I heard metal start to crunch. I shoved the door
Rose POV The looks on Damien and Jackson's faces was pure admirement. They both were even blushing. But who could blame them, the moon goddess is the most beautiful woman ever. I couldn't help but laugh when she started to chuckle at the boys reaction to seeing her. "How did we get here?" Jackson asked. "Rose brought you of course." She said smiling at me. "But how? No one has ever been able to come to your realm." Damien stuttered out, still gwaking at her. "She is a very special creature. My star child if you will. I'm glad she brought you guys with her this time, it saves me the trip of having to visit your realm." She smiled warmly. "But how do I keep coming here?" I asked her confused. "I will tell you that in all do time. Right now, I have some things to discuss with the three of you." She said. "Why can't you tell me now? Why does everyone love to hide things from me?" I shouted at her. "Rose! You can't talk to the Moon Goddess that way!" Damien spit out. "It's quite
Rose POV Just as quickly as we left the office we returned. I pushed myself up onto my elbows and turned my head to look at the back of my legs. Seline was right, I’m completely healed! I got myself into a sitting position and looked at Damien and Jackson. They were sitting on the floor in a daze. “What is wrong with you two?” I asked them. They both snapped their eyes to me. “Did we really just..” Damien started to say before Jackson cut us off. “That’s where you go all the time!?” Jackson shouted jumping up onto his feet. I couldn't help but laugh at the two of them. "Yes, it is very calming and relaxing. It brings me a sense of peace that I haven't had since before my parents died. It's weird that we went there, I was thinking of the last happy memory I have of my parents, so I'm not sure why we went there." I told them confused. "She did have a lot to say." Damien said while he looked ahead at nothing in particular. "Are you okay, Damien? You seem a little off." I asked hi
Rose POV After an hour of soaking in the bath, I got out and went to work on my hair. In all my time of cleaning around the pack house, I had my fair share of watching all the girls there do their hair in every kind of style you can think of. I decided I would let my hair dry with its natural curls and pin it up in a bun. I don't want to deal with the hassle of it being in the way while they are marking me. I guess I don't know if it being down will be a problem, I have never done this before or seen this being done. It's the one thing that werewolves are very strict about. Marking your mate is something that is private and is to be done behind closed doors. Marking your mate solidifies your bond of eternal love. I'm going to leave it down and I'll just wear a hair tie on my wrist so if it becomes a problem I can just throw it up. I squirted some hair product for curls and scrunched it into my think waves before I started to get dressed. I decided I would wear a white lace matchin
