I could feel us both panting heavily as we stared at each other."Is this okay?" He mumbled, going back to kiss me."Yes," I replied, an edge of confusion to my voice, but I didn't really care, I was too caught up in the moment."I just don't want to rush you into any new experiences." He said, gently kissing my neck where his mark was.It was hard to concentrate when he did that, but I caught onto his words quickly.I stopped him then, "What are you talking about?"He gave me a slight smile, I could almost tell from the look he gave me that he thought I was a virgin."Your innocence." He replied.There it was."Dustin..." I sighed, "I'm not a virgin."He froze then, "What?" He asked in disbelief.I could see in his eyes that he desperately wanted for that not to be true.His hands tightened around my waist, unconsciously bringing me closer as his jealously got the better of him."I said I'm not a—"He cut me off, "I heard what you said," He replied, his breathing suddenly laboured.H

We sat in the back of a dark car, about as apart as you can get when you have to sit next to each other. We were on our way to the Grey Tooth pack to discuss an alliance.I had met the alpha before, he was very arrogant and full of himself but he knew he couldn't take me on, wolves often sensed something dark about me, and tended to avoid me because of it. They would rather be allies than enemies.Despite the silence Dustin had been giving me, he demanded to come with me after hearing that the alpha was not mated. I was trying my best to ignore the fact he wasn't talking to me, but on the inside it was killing me. I might not act like it, but I really did care.I knew I deserved it though, it wasn't fair of me to tease Dustin like I had been, it was just that I didn't know how else to act around him, I wasn't really sure how to deal with my feelings.The journey was long and silent, a pack member was driving us there. But they were separated from us by a partition.When we finally arr

Reluctantly, I lifted my head from his chest, meeting him in the eye without saying a word. After a moment I sighed, looking away. "We have a pack meeting.""Okay." He said, "Do you want me to stay here?""No," I shook my head. And I gently took him by the hand and led him out of the room."If you're going to be a part of this pack I have to introduce you to them, along with Chase and Dawn." I told him, I had already informed them all of what would be happening, they should all be gathered at the meeting place.As wolves, we weren't exactly cold. So the snow didn't bother us, we could have meetings outside and it wouldn't matter.So we made our way to the meeting place, myself and Dustin climbed up on top of the 'stage' which in reality, was just a rather large, flat boulder.Chase and Dawn were stood towards the back of it, following my instructions to stand there, Dustin made a move to stand with them but I tightened my grip on his hand, forcing him to have to stand next to me, faci

I woke up in a comfy bed with something tickling my face and a pair of warm arms wrapped around me. Opening my eyelids, I noticed that the (unusually) comfortable bed was because I was in the new house, the thing that tickled was a whole hoard of feathers that had somehow escaped the pillows, and the arms belonged to my mate.My mate.It sounded very nice. Not that he hadn't been my mate before, but now there was added meaning. He was truly my mate now, in every sense of the word.What came with mating, was the unexpected thrill, the sensation of power that just seemed to be running through my veins.I was strong, but I'd never felt so in control.I smiled to myself, it was lovely. To wake in his arms, and to know that everything would be okay.Well actually, that wasn't strictly true.I had made a promise to myself. I would avenge my packs death. I had to.I could never be happy until I did.Once Dustin woke up — with an overly enthusiastic grin on his face, I might add - he went to

I dulled my sentences, not wanting to feel the pain of death, to feel the pain that Dustin felt as he watched me die. I didn't want to feel the disappointment from my pack that didn't understand my motives. But when I felt nothing I begun to panic. What had I done? By dulling my senses had I accidentally made my death an eternal nothingness? I tried to calm my thoughts, and by doing so, opened up my senses again. The sound of battle. I slowly rose to my feet looking around me, both mine and Ryan's pack surrounded me, fighting off the bloodmoon pack. They were fighting for me? "Cassandra." A voice said next to me, an airy quality to it. I turned to my left, to see a man and a woman next to me. I gasped. "Mom? Dad?" I stared at them in shock, before throwing myself onto them only to reach empty air. They gave me sympathetic looks. "We're sorry, Cassandra . . . So sorry about all of this. We knew your wolf would be special. No normal wolf forms a bond with an alpha like that."
