All Saints Ball ***Day Forty-Seven*** The four of us arrived in the Blood Moon pack lands a few hours before the ball started. Visiting packs were given cabins on the outskirts of the land to prepare and stay the night in. Ours was a two-bedroom cabin with a kitchen and living area. More than enough room for four people.Audrey and I got dressed in one room while Evander and Mason took the other roomI tried to calm my nerves while getting dressed but it was impossible. I’ve been gone for almost six weeks. I was excited to see everyone. Although I still couldn’t fathom why Godric invited us here, I was happy he did.A light knock at the door let us know the men were ready. Mason greeted Audrey as she answered the door. His hand was stretched across his chest giving the impression that his breath was lost in her beauty.Whatever attraction Mason felt towards her, he was no longer intere

Late Nights My emotions were everywhere. On one hand, my need to be with Godric was still strong. And on the other hand, I know we could never be together. But my heart couldn’t take seeing him with another.When we pulled up to the cabin, I exited the car alone. When the rest of the group exited, I heard Mason say, “We’re going to take a walk. It’s too nice of a night to waste inside.”He and Audrey made their way towards a wooded trail.I walked inside the house with Evander hot on my heels.He snatched my arm turning me to face him, just before I made it to my room. “I’m not going to ask you again. What is wrong with you?”I sulked for a moment before answering. Crossing my arms across my chest. “I’m just tired of not getting what I want in life.”“And what do you want?”“For once, I would like the person I like

By Any Means ***Sixty-Two Days Ago*** Godric’s POV Last night my intuition became true. Zaya was in fact, my mate. From the moment I saw her I felt an attraction. And the longer she was with our pack, the more I started to care for her. But I still wasn’t sure that she was my mate until last night.I left the birthday party after giving her the ring. A specially made ring I had Miss Gillery make for Zaya. I lied and said it was a gift to honor her for the sacrifice she was making. But honestly, it was something I designed for her before she became the tribute.Watching her put it on and smile, was the first highlight of my night. But then she hugged me and I lost it. Her scent enveloped me, and I could not take it anymore. She smelled like lavender and vanilla. Every part of me wanted her.Then she started rambling on about Sophie and I had to walk away from her. The imag

The Night Of ***Present Day*** Zaya POV A pounding at the front door stopped Evander from taking one more stroke.  “Attack! Commander. We are being attacked!The pounding became louder and more frequent. I couldn’t believe my ears.Our bodies already began to untangle. The heated passion between us quickly cooled as the banging continued.  “Did they just say we’re being attacked?” I asked pulling the sheet over my naked body.“Get up and get dressed.” Evander was already on his feet and putting on pants. His movements were fast.I ran to my room and threw on a shirt, pants, and tennis shoes. By the time I was coming out of my room, Evander was already at the bottom of the stairs.“Stay here and hide.” I heard him shout. He opened the door and several soldiers were awaiting his orders. If he waited any longe

The Alphas Room ***Zaya POV*** We arrived in the Blood Moon pack lands the next morning. Audrey still wasn’t saying much in front of the guys. I could tell more was on her mind but she wasn’t ready to say. I figured she would tell me when the time was right.When we pulled up to the house, Anna was waiting to greet me. But her happy eyes soon turned to concern when she saw Audrey. But she didn’t let that stop her from hugging me. She quickly put two and two together and welcomed Audrey with a hug.“Welcome back Audrey.” She said recalling her name from the night of the Ball.“Thank you,” Audrey spoke in an awkward tone. She wasn’t a hugger. Especially with people, she didn’t know.Luna Ariel was also there waiting to greet me along with a few Elders. Although, I believe the Elders were there to see the outcome of the battle.“My ch
