I feel my rage boiling as I stand watching our wolves unload the dead wolves from the APCs and putting them on the funeral pyres. I’m standing on the back veranda, looking down the hill into the empty field that will be used tonight for the funeral services. Two hundred and fifty dead wolves. Two hundred and fifty mates feeling the link sever forever, families torn apart, by what? One asshole’s bigotry? Because one guy didn’t agree with someone else’s life choices, all these wolves died.
Granted other packs joined him, but would they have started a war if he hadn’t? Or would they have just grumbled about it? Would these wolves still be alive if Mathias had never come to my territory? If I hadn’t insisted that we wouldn’t hide our mates?
“Lollipop, what’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” I fee
Hey friends! You guys did it again, meeting another challenge. It helped me make a decision. Starting next week, I will be posting 3 days per week - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with possible bonus chapters over the weekend. I mean, you guys are basically getting that anyway, might as well make it official. See you tomorrow!
“Are you sure about this?” I ask Isaac. Devin, Xander, and I had accompanied the groups that had gone to the Shadow Pack to help move the pack and the injured wolves. We brought Isaac with us to send him back to the Blue Crescent Pack. After we beat him.This morning, when we left Diana territory to come to the Shadow Pack, we chained him at wrists and ankles with silver to cause the burning that would be expected on a prisoner. Every jolt, every turn, every change in speed caused the cuffs to shift. Isaac tried to hide it, but there is no wolf that can remain truly impassive to the effects of silver. Three fucking hours of that torture and he never once complained, just did it for the cause.Yesterday, it was decided that Isaac would continue his undercover work in the Blue Crescent Pack. He would act as if
I’m standing in front of my new pack, Lily and Diego on either side of me. The pack oracle, Jenny, along with Gamma Rue, and Delta Sam were standing with us. Beta Alessandra was seated in a chair on the stage with us, having just returned to the pack after her injuries. Next to her was her brother Carlos. It was time for Lily and my ascension to luna. Though it was unheard of for a pack to have two lunas, at least in recent history, Diego wouldn’t hear of one of us just being an alpha mate. “This pack is both of yours, equally. You are both my mates, equally. So the title is both of yours. Equally.” That announcement from him led to a fun time in bed, with special attention paid to our wonderful alpha. At the same time, Sandra was going to transfer her title to her younger brother, since she wo
The party after the ceremony is popping. The Diana pack knows how to party! We ate and we danced, though Lily insisted that I limit my dancing to “conserve my energy.” Each time she said it, a leer would come over her face and her eyes would stray to my breasts, which I had made sure were on display tonight.During a slow song, Liam asks if I will dance with him. I agree, putting my hand in his and he leads me to the dance floor. I wrap my arms around his neck and his hands go around my waist, pulling me toward him.“Goddess, you look so sexy tonight,” he says to me. I’m wearing a deep pink, halter top, bandage dress. The dress has a deep “v” that goes below my bustline and hits me at knee-height. I’m wearing four-inch stilettos and have my hair tumbling down around
Holy shit, I forgot how good the first mating feels. Bhakti and I have been together for three years and, though sex with her has always been amazing, nothing compares to that first time with your mate. Bhakti and I have had a happy mating, but the lack of pups has put a strain on us and our pack. Three years is unheard of for an alpha couple to go without having pups. The kicker was that the doctor’s said that there was nothing wrong with either of us. There was no physiological reason that we couldn’t have pups and it wasn’t like our wolves were opposed to our mating. Then, when we came to Diana Pack territory, we learned more about the trios. About how there were no pups until the trio was complete. It gave us hope, though it was a slim c
We stumble into our room, wrapped in each other’s arms. I have no idea how Liam managed to unlock the door with one hand up my skirt, rubbing my clit and Sandra’s hand wrapped around his cock, but he did it. Never doubt the determination of an alpha. Especially this one.Alpha’s tend to have a higher sex drive than most wolves because they have a greater need to procreate, not just for the good of the species, but also for the good of the pack. An alpha needs to produce an heir. But Liam’s sex drive is even more intense than most alpha’s. We routinely have sex three to four times every day. Not complaining! Far from it. Just stating fact.Slamming and locking the door behind us, Liam uses his alpha tone on us. “Strip.”
It’s been a week since Issac left and I still haven’t heard from him. Lacey was nearly despondent the first few days, only allowing me to spoon feed her when I reminded her how the pup she carried needed food.Thank the Goddess that Carmen gave birth to Tomas a few days after Isaac left. I took Lacey with me to see the new pup. He is adorable. Beautiful large brown eyes, a small button nose, and a head full of jet black hair. His little mews and noises are heart meltingly sweet and he immediately had everyone wrapped around his little finger. Especially Lacey.She’s been to Carmen’s house every day, helping in any way that she can: playing with Amelia, making meals, doing laundry. As long as she eats and comes home long enough to get eight hours of sleep, I let her do whatever she can to ke
To Arya’s phone: Arya? It’s Seth from the Blue Crescent Pack. Arya: Seth? You mean the hacker kid? Where the fuck is Isaac? How the hell do you know that he’s communicating with me? Seth: Not exactly a kid. I mean, I’m only 3 years younger than u. Rude. Arya: SETH! WHERE IS ISAAC? Seth: Right, right. My bad. He got here 3 days ago. Mathias was pissed he was alone. U know there were betas and an alpha in those groups? Did u see a fucking huge all black wolf? That was the Luminus alpha . Whoever killed him is an alpha. I stare blankly at the phone. Could it be the wolf that Sandra saved me from? The one that I killed?&n
We had been waiting for Dev, Xander, and Arya to arrive, but they just linked saying that they had gotten a text from Isaac’s phone and that they would be late. We decided to start the meeting without them.We were in Meredith, Gael, and Hakeem’s suite at the top of the packhouse. It was tastefully decorated in the blues and silvers of the pack, with touches of gold and black. The sofas were large and plush, the furniture obviously new but homey. The walls were conspicuously bare of photos, but who has time to take family photos when there are wars to plan?From my understanding, Gael and Hakeem had lived in what basically looked like a frat house before. Though Meredith was a practical woman, she pretty quickly got some decorators and painters in the room and changed it.In
