Winter 99. Burn It Down
Sure enough, as if by clockwork, Hannah was dressed and slammed the door open. She ignored all of us, her head held high as she grabbed the boxes out of the truck. Taking them into the house, she slammed the door. There was some more shouting but for the most part it quieted down.Maddox showed back up at around eleven-thirty with a drink and a smile on his face. We came together, all of us leaning against the cars. Our police were nervously talking amongst themselves. They were worried that they would actually need to arrest their Beta if he decided to make a stand.The front door was thrown open and Hannah set out multiple boxes onto the porch. Maddox groaned as more and more boxes were stacked. Caleb came out and picked up the boxes, angrily throwing them into the truck. This continued for about ten minutes. Rebecca carried her own box out and she looked out at all of us.Her eyes landed on me and the box dropped out of her hands. “You fucking bitch!”Stalking across the lawn, she

I sat on the edge of my bed, or what used to be my bed. My room hadn’t been touched by the attack on the house. Between all of us, the whole house was empty now. I’d gone the extra mile in taking out the kitchen tile since I didn’t think I needed to have another moment looking at it.The floor creaked and I looked up to see Caspian leaning against the doorframe. He was the only one left now. It was getting dark, but the fire was still active outside. It probably wasn’t good for the environment with all that we were burning, but it felt good. Nothing was left but this room.“Did you not want to get rid of this stuff?”Sighing, I shrugged. “None of this did me wrong. It kept me sane. Kept me safe to some extent.”“Maybe donate it?”“Yeah. Maybe.” I frowned. “Did you want to stay here? Instead of the hotel? It would cost less.”Caspian stepped into the room and sat next to me on the bed. “It’s up to you. I can go either way. We will need to at least have dinner here. The fire needs to go

I stood in front of the training center. I had been in it plenty of times, especially after Damian tore down the old one and built this huge gymnasium center. The old one was an old crumbing building built in the seventies and it was a hazard itself. Now, the training center was one of the largest buildings in the territory.There were rooms on either side of the center open air grounds. It was about sixty-five yards across in the main fighting area. It was big enough to do mock battles against multiple opponents. That and we could host challenges for anyone within the pack. Separate rooms lined the halls on either side that were full of equipment or one-on-one training areas. Today though, everything would be empty. Maybe for the first time since it was built five years ago.Everything seemed so real now. I could see some of our pack mulling about inside, a few glancing at me standing out front like an idiot. This morning, Councilor Augustine and Councilor Estella came by the house.

“Dad!” Principal Miles raced up the stairs. “I went to pick you up at the house and you were gone!”“I am perfectly capable of driving myself, Miles. Winter was nice enough to help me to my seat. You make too much of a fuss.”He sighed and ran his hands over his face. “There is too much going on for you to be pulling this now. Everyone is on high alert. They are jumpy and there are a few fights breaking out over the territory.”“So? They should be here if that’s the case. That little shit Galen could only make them party in the town square. Now, we have a real challenge and the whole pack falls apart. Goes to show how strong this pack really is.” Mr. Anderson grumbled.“Something we hope to change.” Maddox stepped up the stairs to us. “Isn’t that right, Winter?”I rolled my eyes. “Stop looking to me. I’m not the one fighting today.”“Where is the Alpha in question?”“Councilor Augustine and Councilor Estella picked him up this morning. I haven’t seen him since.” I sunk my teeth into m

Over the next half hour, more and more of the pack filled the seats. I thought that Damian’s side would be packed to the brim but it was surprisingly more evenly split. I didn’t stand with the Councilors too long, instead, making my way back to everyone. As the arena got louder, I got quieter. Krista shot me smiles when she caught my gaze. Dee came over and put his hand on my head, keeping it there.Everyone hushed again and I thought maybe more of the other Councilors showed up. I was partially right. Councilor Morel and Councilor Dommik stepped in, followed by Damian, Ember, Caleb, Hannah, and Rebecca. We watched as Hannah and Rebecca headed up and took seats in the front row. Neither of them looked good. Dark circles, disheveled hair, and wrinkled clothes; it was my first time seeing either of them like so unkept.Damian, Ember and Caleb stayed down, walking over to the seats that were against the wall at ground level. All of them exuded anger. Councilor Morel and Councilor Dommik

Both of them were breathing heavily as they continued to match each other. The fight was dragging on and I winced when Damian landed his first real hit on Caspian. It was to the side of the head with his fist. Caspian had been expecting a kick, but at the last minute, Damian switched it up and his fist flew at an incredible speed. There were times that I could barely keep up with their movements.Caspian stumbled back, having to set his hand down on the ground for a moment as to not fall back. I felt myself coil up as Damian smirked. He didn’t say anything and there was barely a second taken before he launched into another attack. This didn’t throw Caspian off at all. Instead, when Damian got close enough, Caspian shifted into his wolf.Smiling, I was happy to see the sweet wolf who protected me against Galen a few months ago. I’d never realized it was him until much later. Until one of the times he left a note and raced off in wolf form.He didn’t stay a wolf long though. As Damian o

I walked up behind Caspian. He was staring at the pile that had been left after the fire. We decided to wait until we ordered a dumpster for the remodel to get rid of all of it. It felt weird to just leave the scorched remnants of all the painful memories out the back door. Still, it would be taken care of soon.There were a few people who decided to go out to dinner, but after everything, I took Caspian home. Mrs. St James brought over some food for us. I thanked her while I served us both a plate, Caspian didn’t touch it. I’d taken a shower, only to find him out here.“Cas?”He hummed, turning to me. His put his glasses back on, but not even the thick lenses could hide his pain. Reaching out, I laced my fingers between his. Lifting our hands, Caspian kissed the back of mine.“I’m sorry. I know I should be happy.”Shaking my head, I leaned it against his shoulder. “We won the war, but the cost was high. If you were dancing around, I think I would be more worried.”“I just…don’t under

I felt myself reach out, but it was also being controlled by someone else. Together, we reached our arms out for Caspian. He surged forward, climbing onto the bed and into our arms. Wrapping around him, I pulled him into a kiss.“I love you.”He hummed, but it sounded more like a growl. After I leaned back to breathe, his lips pressed against my skin everywhere. My head crushed the pillow and I nearly screamed as his mouth found my nipple. I wasn’t new to touching my nipples for sexual pleasure, but nothing could prepare me for how it felt when he did. His tongue swirled around before Caspian took the stiff peak between his teeth.Spots fulled my vision and I shook, my chest rapidly rising and falling. Caspian’s head cocked to the side for a moment before he smiled. I was mortified. He’d simply touched my nipple and I’d climaxed.“Winter…did you…?”“Shut up. Please…don’t make this worse…”I squeaked when Caspian kissed down my stomach and nuzzled between my legs. My hands reached down

Winter Epilogue 2
‘Your mate thinks you’re mad at her.’Ignoring Onan, I stormed into the store. Grabbing a few things here and there, I tossed everything into my cart. Wrinkling my nose, I grabbed pasta and some chicken thighs. I knew Winter’s tomatoes were ripe, so she could use them and make a full pasta dish with this. We also already had spinach so that would be fine.“Alpha!”My eyes shut for a moment before I turned around. “Beta.”“You doing alright? You like a little…” I waited to see if he wouldn’t finish his sentence. “…pissed?”Running my hands through my hair, I smiled a little too wide. “I’m fine, Dee. Is there something you needed?”“No. Just wondering…” He glanced at my cart. “…when you were coming back to training. Luna has been coming three times a week lately and I feel like it might be a bit much. You guys seemed to swap schedules. Everything okay?”“Yeah. Good. You’ll have to ask Winter what’s going on.”Dee pursed his lips. “I tried to get Krista to talk to her. She and Jackson ar
Winter Epilogue 1
*** Caspian’s POV *** I winced as I heard a bottle shatter in the kitchen. Standing up from my lean, I looked out through the glass door. Shaking my head, I slipped the parchment paper in between the pages of the book I was currently translating. Walking around my desk, I opened up the door, the seal breaking as the door opened.It really was amazing how soundproof Winter had made my office. Castiel was standing in the kitchen next to his sister, crying. Shyla was about to cry, her hands holding onto her dress tightly. The whole house now smelled like cherries and a hint of vodka. Winter was kneeled down, quickly wiping up the glass from the floor.My mate looked up at me and I could see a smile playing on her lips. It wasn’t serious and it looked like no one had been hurt. Clearing my throat, the two of the turned and I raised my eyebrow. That’s all it took. Shyla dissolved into tears and Castiel held onto her dress, crying with her.‘He’s crying in solidarity.’ Kamari added and I w
Winter 109. Until Your Last Breath
Caspian chuckled, grabbing another chocolate donut from the box. “I have to meet with Alpha Bitters while you’re gone. What did you want me to say?”“That’s rude, Alpha.” Dee spoke with his mouth out. “Calling the wolf bitter.”“Dee!” Both Caspian and I called him out. “That’s his last name!”I turned back to Caspian, pinching the bridge of my nose and trying to ignore Dee’s sassier attitude since becoming Beta. “I would say, for now, that we have a potential mating option for his youngest. If that would be something he is open to. Rebecca doesn’t turn eighteen until next month. She’s also already set for remedial classes after school is done. So, it’s going to be a few months. I don’t want to set expectations, but I would like the option there.”The room quieted for a moment. Hannah and Caleb were found guilty. Their sentences were being served. However, it wasn’t something that the Council would tell us. Only that, they would not be coming back to pack. Rebecca was actually under Ca
Winter 108. Change
“There would need to conditions.”I nodded.“You need to get your diploma. GED or graduate high school. That comes first.”I nodded again.“I will need to know how long you are leaving for, where you will be, who will be with you, as well as you calling me every night.”I nodded again.“We need to make sure that the pack is transitioned and that we are covered in case something did happen. I don’t want their Luna not being on territory making the pack feel uneasy.”Pressing my lips together, I fought to keep the smile taking over my face as I continued to nod.“One more thing, Winter. Before I agree to any this, you need to agree to this.”“What is it?” My heart pounded in my chest.He stared at me for a minute before a wicked grin filled his face. “You choose our Beta and Gamma.”My mouth dropped open. Onan roared in laughter and Kamari even snickered. Blinking at Caspian, he was smirking as his head cocked to the side. His eyebrow rose as he looked at me.“Agreed?” He held out his h

‘‘Winter…’I hummed and shook my head.‘Winter, you need to wake up. You’re worrying our mate.’‘Five more minutes, Mom.’The voice laughed. ‘Oh, Winter. I am not your mother.’My eyes flung open and I sat up. The head rush made me press my palm to my temple. Blinking, I looked around my room. Outside was completely dark and I didn’t see Caspian. The blankets had been pulled over me and I was tucked in. Groaning, I leaned forward and rubbed my eyes. Did I really pass out after sex? Was that a thing?‘It is. Especially when you do something like breaking a magical seal.’I sucked in my breath. Tears filled my eyes and covered my mouth. Choking out a sob, I squeezed my eyes shut.‘You…you are my wolf.’‘I am, Winter. I am Kamari.’Barking out laughing, I shook my head but I couldn’t stop the tears. Caspian threw open the door and took my head in my hands. He forced me to look at him as he searched my face. Tears continued to fall but I smiled.“She…she’s there.”Caspian’s eyes widened.
