Wolfbitten Chapter 15
MIRIAM*29 years ago*“What happened was pretty messed up,” Lance said one afternoon, grabbing a snack while I sat at the kitchen table, doing my homework."Just promise me when you're alpha, you won't ever sleep with any of your kids' chemistry partners!" I blurted out. "I'd never be unfaithful to my mate," he replied, taking a seat across from me. "Look, I don't agree with everything Dad does." “You sure had me fooled. You're like his little puppy the way you follow him around." He wrinkled his nose in annoyance. "Do not." I snorted. “Please. When’s the last time you didn’t do exactly what he told you to?”He sighed. “It’s just easier that way. You know how Dad is.”Yeah. I knew.Our dad was brutal, and it was always safer to obey than to push back. Because the alternative was something none of us liked to think about. I’d never had it as bad as Lance, but I knew what it was like to be on the receiving end of our father’s wrath.We sat in silence for a while—him eating, me stari

THERESAIt had been almost a week since the incident. Nikolai was so stealthy that I barely caught a glance at him during all that time. I rubbed at my mark, fingertips pressing against the sensitive skin. My pulse spiked. Would Nikolai say something? Would he just casually mention it in conversation? Oh yeah, Terri’s mark—A shiver ran down my spine.He probably wouldn’t think twice. Why would he? To him, it wasn’t some dirty secret, something that made my skin crawl every time I thought about it. To him, a mark was a mark. A sign of commitment. Something mates did and didn’t hide. No one else in the world thought getting marked was a secret.“Uggghhhh,” I moaned out loud. I knew you weren’t supposed to worry about things you couldn’t control, but I was in anxiety overload. My stomach had been churning nonstop since he saw it. Every time my mom seemed slightly annoyed or frustrated with me, the hairs on my body stood up, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Every passing comment from

THERESAOne day, he said we should go to the gym together. At first, I thought that was a great idea. I was always at the gym, and I loved the idea of bonding over a shared hobby. Maybe he’d even be impressed by all the work I’d put in, and the results I’d obtained after years of hard work. But I soon learned the flaw in my thinking.After warming up, we started with bench press. He had me go first. I layered on some weights for a warmup set. Two fifty-pound weights on a forty-five-pound bar. I swiftly did eight reps and let him take his turn.He got through that just fine. I layered on more weights. On my third set, I decided to finally load the bar up to what I normally lift on an 8-rep day, which was 270 pounds. This was pretty standard, if not low, for a male warrior in my weight class, but I knew it was a lot for a female. My expectation was he would be impressed, the same way Tyce and Trav always were when I worked out with them.But I shouldn’t have been so naïve.When he went a

THERESAA couple days later, my brother Tyce finally returned home with his mate, Gigi. “Tyce!” I screamed as he walked in the door, throwing my arms around him.“Hey, Terr bear,” he replied, messing up my hair as he pulled back from the hug. I pushed his hand off my head and gave him a shove.“Welcome home, Gigi!” I exclaimed to my soon-to-be sister-in-law and pulled her in for an even bigger hug. “Thanks, Terri,” she replied, returning the hug. I didn’t know her well, but I liked Gigi so far. She was good for Tyce. Every time he’d glance her way, a smile would sneak onto his face.As I let go of Gigi, I said, “I feel like I’ve barely had a chance to get to know you. We should hang out tonight, if you’re up for it of course. I know you just got in from a long flight.”“I’d love that,” she replied with a big smile and no hesitation.“Yay! How about we head down to the local pub for dinner instead of staying in?” “Yeah, that would be great!”“You can hold down the fort with the ‘rent

THERESA “Alpha Nikolai doesn’t talk much though. He’s really standoffish.” Why was Gigi choosing him of all people to talk about tonight? “Well, I can understand,” I responded. “He lost his entire family and most of his pack recently.” Stating it out loud made me tear up a bit. Something about this man. He made it so hard to control my emotions and my hormones. Sometimes I thought I was losing my sanity when he entered my consciousness. “Yeah,” Gigi slumped her shoulders and balanced her head on her hands. “That really sucks. I can’t even imagine.” “Hello!” We both jumped as the waitress popped out of, seemingly, nowhere. “Can I start you off with a drink?” Gigi bit her lip. “I’ll have a Sprite, please.” “Nothing harder?” The waitress winked at her. “I don’t think…” “We’re on pack land. If you look like you could be close to old enough we don’t ask. And, besides, you’re about to be luna.” “With vodka,” Gigi said. “Atta girl! And you, Terr?” “I’ll have the same,” I replied. I

NIKOLAIExactly twenty of my pack members showed up to warrior training on Friday morning. Half my pack was now makeshift warriors. Before the war, I’d had more than double—fifty of my strongest and bravest men. Now I was left with a random jumble of people that met the only criteria of being between the ages of eighteen and sixty. As they say, for a poor man and a thief, any clothes fit.I let out a breath as I scanned the group. Perhaps Sasha was right, some breeding among the pack wouldn’t hurt. Not that it was a good time for any of us. We were still mourning the loss of our families. We didn’t even have a home yet. We would soon, but it wouldn’t be equipped with electricity or running water when we’d first settle. We’d be living off the land for who knows how much time before we figured it out. The last thing I could imagine was bringing more children into our dire situation. The ones we had now suffered enough.“Okay, warriors!” I shouted, far louder than need be, considering ho

NIKOLAII took some steadying breaths. At least this was a start. They wouldn’t be shit forever. And what are the chances we’d have to defend ourselves any time soon? We were in another country now, where no one knew of our pack. At the moment, we were protected within the Jade Moon Pack. By the time we’d set out on our own, everyone would be far more trained.But definitely not trained enough.Yep, we were fucked.I entered the storage room to grab the TRX straps I’d seen Tyce’s warriors using on one of the days I’d come in to do my own workouts. Before I’d even taken a couple steps in, I was confronted by that scent—that delicious, sweet, erotic scent that wouldn’t leave my dreams. Without meaning to, I let the door shut behind me. Terri was on her tippy toes trying to reach something up high, but the sound of the door slamming shut distracted her, and she promptly turned to face me.“What are you doing in here?” she asked, and her voice almost seemed accusatory. She placed her hand

THERESAWhat had just happened? I brought my hand to my racing heart, even though I was well aware the gesture was not going to steady it. I had planned to finish my workout with some ab exercises, but now I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to stick around. Would it be wrong to just take the roller home with me? It wasn’t like I couldn’t just bring it back the next day.That moment between Nikolai and me had been so strange. I couldn’t figure out if he hated me or not. And when we’d touched, the oddest feeling came over me. It was like tingles where our bodies connected. I’d never felt anything like it. My whole body had reacted—an involuntary shiver running down my spine, a rush of warmth spreading from where our skin met. My fingers twitched at my sides as if they wanted to reach for him again, just to see if it would happen a second time. Was I imagining things?He was hot. And he was making my body react in all sorts of unexpected ways. I could still picture his imposing stature. The

NIKOLAITyce’s hands trembled at his sides. His shoulders rose and fell unevenly, like he was barely keeping himself together. For a moment again, he looked young and lost, like a boy whose world was unraveling piece by piece. But he quickly shook his head and straightened his shoulders."I’ll do my best. I promise." Tyce’s voice was raw, quieter than before. His fingers flexed at his sides before he turned away, blinking hard. I recognized the move. The sheer, bone-deep exhaustion of trying to keep it together when everything inside you was falling apart. Finally, he turned back and said, “Give me something with her scent on it. Alpha Nikolai will help too.”Sophia’s father rushed back into the house, returning seconds later with a winter hat. He handed it to Tyce, who passed it straight to me.I took a deep breath, inhaling the Sophia’s scent, locking it into memory before handing it back.I was sure Tyce felt the same as I did. Someone had reached Sophia before we could. And now, s
Wolfbitten Chapter 89
NIKOLAIThe silence between us stretched thick and suffocating, broken only by the rhythmic tapping of Tyce’s fingers against the wooden desk and the occasional muffled sound of a voicemail message cutting in and out.Every few minutes, he tried again. Calling. Mindlinking. His expression flickered between frustration and outright fury every time the connection failed.Each passing minute felt like an hour.Tyce was relentless. Again and again, he dialed, pressing on the chosen contact of the moment, only to be met with the same voicemail box recording. Calling and mindlinking like a maniac.I couldn’t deny I wouldn’t have done the same. I just didn’t have the same means to attempt contact. So, I determined, my job, albeit impossible, was to attempt to keep him calm.Honestly, I wasn’t doing any better. My mind screamed for action, but all I could do was sit there, forcing myself to remain still. I kept blocking out the worst-case scenarios. If I let myself think about Terri in the ha

GINGERAs I woke, I fought against a dull, aching exhaustion pressing down on me like dead weight. My eyelids felt impossibly heavy. My mouth was dry, my head pounding. Every muscle in my body throbbed with soreness, as if I’d run a marathon the day before.This has to be the worst hangover of my life.Slowly, the fog in my mind began to clear. I inhaled the scent of crisp air and wet earth. Was I outdoors? I groaned, trying to roll over. A sharp clink echoed through the silence.My eyes snapped open.Coldness nipped at my skin—no, at my fur. My stomach dropped as my sluggish brain scrambled to make sense of it.The room—was it even a room?—was cloaked in darkness, the only illumination coming from the faint glow of my red night vision. The outlines of my surroundings took shape: cold, empty space, stone walls, and metal bars blocking the only exit. The scent of damp earth and frost hung heavy in the air.I tried to move, but the harsh clink of metal stopped me short. I looked down. M

TYSONI finally understood what it meant to straddle the edge of sanity and madness.I hadn’t slept in days. The world around me felt surreal, like I was walking through a dream—or nightmare. Every time I bumped into a wall or grazed a piece of furniture, I’d catch myself wondering why I hadn’t just passed through it. I felt like a ghost, a shadow of myself. Losing Gigi was like losing my purpose. Without her, what was the point of any of this? I scrolled through our old messages, rereading the last text she sent me:Gigi: Love you, send you some snaps laterAs if the words might change. As if they could tell me where she was now.But the screen remained the same. No new messages. Just a string of my frantic ones.They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Well, here I was, proving it. I must have called and texted both Gigi and Terri a thousand times. At this point, my fingers were moving on autopilot. The result
Wolfbitten Chapter 86
NIKOLAIAs feared, by the next morning, Tyce still hadn’t heard from Gigi or Terri. The thick and suffocating dread was settling in. It was looking to be less and less a case of a couple of lost cell phones.While everyone else was at the morning temple service, Sasha and I met Tyce in his office, where he was seated in the same spot I’d left him the night prior.Tyce looked exactly how I felt, like hell. His eyes were bloodshot, shadowed by dark circles. His hair was even more disheveled than it had been the prior day. Overgrown stubble dusted his jawline. He appeared a ghost of his former self—an alpha taken down by his biggest weakness.He arrived in the same clothes he’d worn the prior day, now wrinkled from his clearly sleepless night. The muffled sound of a generic voicemail box rang through the air.He let out a heavy breath and rubbed his temples before running a hand through his hair. “Flight conditions are still a no-go,” Tyce muttered in a voice that was rough with exhausti

NIKOLAITyce leaned back in his chair, dragging his hands back and forth through his dark hair. The movement left pieces of it sticking up in all different directions.“I just wish…” He trailed off, exhaling sharply. “I just wish I’d marked her.” His voice cracked. “I wanted to. But she was adamant about waiting until marriage. She didn’t want to look bad in front of our parents.” He let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “That shit’s so outdated. It’s not like they don’t already know what we’re up to.”His shoulders sagged as he let out a heavy sigh. The weight of his regret was palpable. “If she were marked,” he rasped in a raw voice, “I’d at least know where she is. I could feel her. I’d know she was safe. But…” His voice faltered, splintering into something dark and helpless.Crack! With a strangled roar, he slammed his fists against the desk. The violent sound shot through the room.I flinched. Not at the outburst, but at the raw emotions and vulnerability it exposed. I knew e

NIKOLAI“I don’t understand! Where the fuck is she?” Tyce’s booming voice echoed down the hallway as I stepped through the front door on Sunday evening, sweat still cooling on my skin after hours spent pushing my body to exhaustion. I walked further into the packhouse and his voice became louder as I proceeded. “We need to get that plane out tonight. I need to go to Anchorage immediately.”I followed the sound of his shouting, rounding the corner, to find a red-faced Tyce with bulging eyes in the common area, fists clenching and unclenching at his sides.Across from him, Beta Liam stood firm, arms crossed, with a calm but unreadable face.“Tyce, it’s not possible,” Liam said with a measured tone, a stark contrast to the storm raging inside the alpha.Tyce’s chest heaved. His nostrils flared. “I don’t care if we crash the fucking plane,” he snarled. “I have to get to her. Do you understand? She’s out there, and we’re just standing here, doing nothing!”Liam’s jaw tightened, but his voi

GINGERShe walked off, joining the line for the bathroom down the hall. I was about to take a seat when Grace appeared beside me.“Hey, can I get you something else to drink?” she asked.“Oh no, I’m good. This is probably my last one,” I replied.“How’s your friend?”“She’s fine. She just went to the bathroom.”“You’re not leaving, are you? We just got here!”“No, no, she wants to stay,” I assured her. “I can introduce you when she gets back.”A man approached us and stood next to Grace. I struggled to remember his name. Bill? Brian? Ben? Something with a B.“Hey, do you wanna?” he asked, tapping his right nostril meaningfully.“Gigi, have you tried it before?” Grace placed her hand on my arm in a friendly gesture.I shook my head.“Oh, you have to. It’s amazing—it makes you feel so good, like you don’t have a care in the world. You’ve gotta try it!”The idea was tempting. I’d missed out on trying coke at my bachelorette party, which I’d always hoped would have been much wilder than i

GINGERBy the time we made it to the party, Terri seemed to be in a much better mood. I felt pleased with the progress I’d made. She was opening up more and actually laughing, a huge contrast to earlier that afternoon.“Let’s go get some drinks!” I exclaimed and led her into the kitchen of the small house we’d come to. They had a huge bowl of jungle juice set out, so I filled our Solo cups with generous pours. We clinked our cups together and made it out to the living room where music was blasting and different students were gathered. I sniffed around, but only humans seemed to be in attendance so far.“How’d you hear about this party?” Terri asked.“It’s kind of funny,” I said. “I met another one of our kind earlier today at school. She gave me her number and said there’d be more of us here tonight.”“Oh,” Terri replied, but didn’t seem as enthusiastic about it as I thought she’d be. “Do you know what pack she was from?”“I couldn’t tell,” I replied. “And she didn’t say.”“It’s usual
