I had lost track of the days. They all felt the same. Rafe had gone. My fated. The one I held so many dreams upon. I had not even had a chance to speak to him. I did not even get to know the man the Moon Goddess had chosen for me. And now I was back to a cycle that I now knew would be endless. My life. Stuck here within my pack. Trapped by my very own father. I was not even sure if life was worth living any longer.

But I continued to function, even if only on auto-pilot. My body becoming numb to the things around me. And no longer going out of my family home. My life at present was staying within my room, and completing my family chores. There was little else. And certainly nothing of purpose anymore.

I wiped the counterside within the kitchen as if in a trance. Cleaning up, again, ensuring all my chores were done whilst my Dad and my brother were at the offices within the packhouse. We may have had a major incident occur within our pack when Rafe was killed here, but life within pack

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 116 - Mari

    “Alpha!” I groaned from my place on the bathroom counter top, my head falling backward, resisting the urge to grip at Alpha Carter's hair, and gripped at the sides of the counter instead. I wiggled a little at the sensation coursing through me, moaning out once more at his touch. The coldness of the countertop was a startling contrast to the heat rushing through my body. It was not a place I should find myself sitting, I didn't think. Nor a place I expected to find myself with my new Alpha, I had to admit. Things had become far weirder than I could ever have expected them to.Alha Carter chuckled, like he found my discomfort amusing. “Just sit still, Mari.” He mumbled, while running the first aid wipe he had over the area, making me wince again. I swear the fucker was trying to make me cry. "You make it worse my moving."“That hurts!” I hissed.“Yeah?”“Nooo…” I snarled sarcastically. &ldq

    Mari smiled at me again. That same gentle smile. “I said it is okay.” She whispered, resting her head upon my shoulder. “Just forget about it. If I am staying, we don’t need you feeling uncomfortable.”I faltered at her words. The fact she spoke up clearly meant she had sensed my unease once more and believed I was feeling uncomfortable because of me kissing her. I sighed. Maybe it was better for her to believe that than know the truth right now. She held so much hope her pack would put right the wrongs they had allowed to happen. Knowing what was happening would only make things worse for her...I nodded. “I’ll try.”She moved her head so it was right next to my face, and she was near staring at me. “No. You won’t try, you will do!” She hissed playfully, and that, combined with the creepy-ass staring she was doing, made me laugh.“Okay, okay. Don’t want you going all psycho on

    Shit. I kissed her. I fucking kissed Mari. A moment of madness came over me and I kissed the damn girl! Only as she seemed to move into the kiss did I snap back to reality and edge away, realizing just what I had done. I was trying desperately to avoid thinking of the fact that she had appeared to respond to my kiss. That was a whole other matter, and one I could not afford to process right now...But, instead, Mari and I were looking at one another awkwardly, as I stuttered at her. “Erm… I am sorry… I…” But the words I needed to find were lost somewhere between my brain and my mouth. All normal functionality seemed to have failed me, while Draven chuckled within my mind. I swear my damn wolf was out to terrorize me today. I would not be surprised if it was him that somehow forced me to kiss her…‘Nope, that was all you buddy.’ Draven chuckled again, clearly enjoying my discomfort.I shifted uncomfortably where

    I could sense a slightly different aura, I suppose you could say from Alpha Carter at my words. He seemed more calm. Gentler almost. There appeared to be almost tenderness within his eyes. Was that even possible for a man with no heart?Ruby giggled. ‘I think you are a little harsh on the man. He has a heart. It is just shattered. Into so many pieces, it may be irreparable. A little like a near impossible jigsaw…’ She began.‘The kind you do and then realize there was a piece missing all along?’ I offered, trying to understand what my wolf meant.Ruby giggled again. ‘Oh, so you are planning on doing him?’‘Ruby!’ I admonished, not expecting my wolf to twist my words that way. She was so bad!It was only as I felt color rush to my cheek, that I felt the curious gaze of Alpha Carter, or potentially even his wolf if he continued to linger, still focused upon me. I swallowed heavily, quickly turnin

    I paced the kitchen as I brewed the fresh coffee. My mind was awash with thoughts of the conversation I had just had with Mari. Of the sight of seeing her having a nightmare, and how vulnerable she looked. And, the worst thing of all... the feeling of longing as I released her from my embrace. The sense of loss as I craved the heat of her body against mine. Draven was once more pushed forward. His presence looming beneath my skin, though this time not in panic. He was curious about my reaction to how I felt. Though, truthfully, so was I…I did all that I could to focus on the task in hand, moving the mugs from the mug tree to the counterside. While desperately attempting to fill my mind with other thoughts. "Emails. Training. Discuss updates with Eldermoon pack. Call my parents. Speak to Hudson about how the pack is running..." I began to list the things I planned to do in the coming days, but thoughts of Mari continued to break through, and I released a heavy, frustra

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 111 - Carter

    Having the girl within my home and knowing she would be staying felt unnatural. This place had become my home. Mine. My safe haven. The place I escaped to. Even my friends rarely come over now, more often opting for their homes or the lounge of the pack house if we were hanging out. But hearing the doctor speak of Mari, I knew I had to look after her. Who the hell else did she have here? Not to mention my wolf was pestering the shit out of me to bring her here…“Lounge is through there, go sit yourself down.” I all but ordered her as we walked into the open hallway, and motioning toward the doorway of my large open-plan living space. “I will grab you a drink.”“Thank you.” Her voice was barely a whisper, and Draven pushed forward with almost panicked curiosity. The way his presence rippled beneath my skin with an anxious unease made me feel almost nauseous. I was used to his presence, of course I was, but this was something else.‘Does she sound weak again to you?’ He demanded. ‘Do yo
