Three years later… I want to say that these have been three happy years. There definitely have been some happy moments. Introducing Lauren to my parents. Introducing her to the pack as the Gamma female. Seeing her joy in her job in working with the newly shifted wolves. Anniversaries. Birthdays. Dates. But there were some really difficult times, too. Our connection with Carl never fully disappeared. It had diminished quite a bit, I’m guessing from the fact that he and I had rejected each other and he had rejected Lauren. But it never fully went away. Carl went out of his way to avoid us. Early morning trainings, trips to other packs, showing up to meetings right on time and leaving immediately after so that there was no chit chat. He tried to act like we weren’t even there. Everyone noticed. They seemed to think that Carl didn’t like Lauren, since he stopped even talking to me after she arrived. Clara and Jared especially were upset about it and tried anything t

21 years later… “How much was passed down from generation to generation of leadership about Selene’s mates? I know that Charlie, Zak, Xander, and Devin did not know of this, but once an entirely new leadership is inducted, what is told to them?” Oracle Lucille asks. Zak asked for a meeting with all of the old and the new leadership, along with Oracle Lucille and her oracle-in-training. I had assumed to talk about what would likely happen in a war with Blue Crescent, but this conversation isn’t starting off in the way I would have assumed if that was the case. Jared looks at all of us, confused. “You mean the lore about her mating not only Pan, but a human? I mean, we were told the story, but…it’s just a tale. It’s not real.” The Oracle just stares at him, as if he is a stupid child who was given the answer, but is too dimwitted to see what was right in front of him. “It can’t be real,” Lauren says. “That would mean that mate trios are…” Her thought fades into vapor, but sh

I follow my mates up the stairs, unable to keep my hands off of Carl. He chuckles and looks back at me as I run my hands along his ass and over the planes of his back following closely behind him. Lauren looks back at us to see what’s going on, joy plain in her face. She races ahead of us to the bed and I can’t help but wrap Carl up in my arms and kiss him while standing in the doorway. Carl moans loudly, pushing me into the door jamb. His hands glide over my body, grabbing my ass in his hands and pulling me into him. Our kiss is hot, intense, and mind blowing. I fist my hand in his hair to keep his lips on mine, the other rolling and pinching his nipple. One of his hands moves to the front of my body, cupping my balls and rolling them in his hand before moving up to stroke my already erect cock. I groan against his mouth before he pulls away to kiss down my neck, to the spot where his matemark will go. His mouth sucks at the skin, making me glad that I’m pressed against th

“Where are the files that I told you to get together on the Obsidian Pack? Why are you so incompetent? How do you think you’ll be able to lead this pack if you can’t even follow simple directions?” My father, our alpha, growls at me.Knowing better than to verbally respond, I walk to the desk and pick up the large file from his file sorter. It’s right beside his computer monitor and the exact place that he tells me to put all of his files each time he asks me to create for him. The same place it was when he walked in from lunch. I had also sent a file to him via email and uploaded it to his laptop, so that he wouldn’t have to carry the bulky file with him. But, it’s better not to say that.Since I graduated high school nearly four years ago, I have been in “alpha training” with my father. It mostly consisted of being my father’s personal assistant and on call for him at all hours of the day and night. You would think that he would be happy to retire, having been in his 30s wh

Two days later… I wake up to the sound of my alarm at 5 am. It’s my usual wake up time to make sure that I can get some training in before my father wakes up at 7. Typically he has some inane request for me to complete before breakfast and we get to the office at 9. I like to get my day started on a good note before that asshole tries his best to ruin it. I usually meet Rin and Damien down at the gym. Occasionally we’ll see Severn, when he isn’t away from the pack. He’ll greet us and then go off on his own. He really doesn’t interact with us, which makes it difficult to think about how we’ll all work together. He doesn’t even really talk to Damien and they both have already taken over their positions in our pack. Rin hasn’t been at the gym for the past two days because of her birthday and then the start of her trials. Today is day two for her. I wonder if I’ll get to see her. We haven’t been able to talk alone since her birthday. There’s nothing more I want to do than fi
