Charlene and Jessabelle walked around the large dining room with porcelain plates held firmly in their grasp. They wandered on opposite sides of the vast mahogany table that stood proudly in the center of the wide room. The crystal chandelier above their heads caused the dinnerware to gleam in the bright light. The room was tense and silent as the two females placed the dinnerware in their hands onto the sleek table, behind them Griffon and Aiden were placing silver utensils and crystal wine glasses and so the four of them set the dinner table. Other pack members hurried in and out of the room as the chefs in the kitchen cooked up the feast their Beta had requested at Charlene's behest. The leader of the pack had been annoyed when she stormed into his office, he had been very busy nursing the headache his disobedient son had caused. The man tried to dismiss the older woman after he had recovered from his shock at her presence, but Charlene was having none of it. She had walked arou

Aaron Black sat in the large black leather chair behind his dark wooden desk with his head being cradled between his hands. His son, Aiden, sat in the leather chair on the other side of the desk with a grim expression on his face. Aaron was still fighting a migraine as he tried to soak in all that he had learned in the short amount of time he and his son had conversed. “You couldn’t have chosen a simpler mate, could you?” he rubbed his hands across his face before sitting back and looking at the young man before him. Why did things have to be so complicated? “It’s not like I had a choice, Dad,” Aiden replied, his back was stiff in that leather chair. “And you are certain that Griffon saw Luna Jean?” His son’s mate just had to be the daughter of their leader; Aaron sighed. “Yes,” “Very well. The road from here on out will be a difficult one,” he stood from his seat behind his desk and stalked over to the cabinet where amber liquor sat glinting in a glass decanter, begging for him

After his little excursion in the shower, Aiden made quick work of washing himself and jumping out of the hot spray. He wrapped a grey towel around his waist and padded with soaking feet back into his room toward his wardrobe. He pulled a black shirt and a pair of jeans from his closet, along with a clean pair of underwear which he hastily pulled on. Just as he buttoned his blue jeans a knock resonated from his door. Without thinking Aiden called out to whomever was on the other side of the door allowing them to enter his room. Griffon strode in comfortably but stopped three paces into the room. He took a deep breath in, and his head shot towards the bathroom door with an alarmed look in his eyes. Aiden, whose back had been turned to his guest, heard the startled gasp and spun around to stare at his best friend. It took him a moment to realize why the man had such a dumbfounded look on his face. “It’s not what you think!” He rapidly shouted, embarrassment blooming in his chest. “

It had been a beautiful day to all but the two Stilinski brothers who both found the sunshine and smiling faces quite redundant and disdainful. The nurses went about their mundane tasks on this quotidian day. They came and went from the rooms on their rounds, doctors checked up on patients, and family members visited on and off as the hours ticked by. Raymond Stilinski had been placed on the third floor of the small institution this backwater town called a hospital. In all his time wandering the streets of this lilliputian settlement he had never been as irked as he was now confined to a stiff hospital bed. The only enjoyment he had was when the beautiful promiscuous nurses tended to stray into his room every now and again. Ray had played his part to a tee and was rewarded with news of a certain brunette who roamed the through the health care center. He entertained himself with the giggling care workers who ogled him and pouted over his tragic ‘accident’. Sure, he desired to make

Thirty minutes, that’s all it would take to change a person’s life forever. Just a mere thirty minutes and a once bright future would ruined. But before that, the moon goddess in all her glory shone her light down on the world. That soft silver glow filled her subjects with peace and tranquility as she softly guided them to sleep. Aiden and his father had returned home an hour before dusk after being chased away from the hospital. Luna Jean had agreed to come back to the pack the following day to continue a discussion they had been having in the room while he and Griffon had distracted the girls in the room. Griffon and his mother decided to remain in town whilst father and son made their way back into their wooded home. “She seems like a fine young woman, son,” Aaron had stiffly commented, the situation was so bizarre he was unsure of how to approach it. “Thank you, father,” the young black-haired male replied awkwardly, “I think she’ll be a great Luna,” “Yes, I could see her fa
