The morning after the night before. Before I can stop myself, my teeth sink into him, causing him to spill his seed into me. He freezes still as my chest warms, stretching wider with his emotions. My mind racing as images flash through my head until I see myself, as he does, in my own mind. The love is holds for me is unconditional, I can sense that now. He would literally wipe out packs for me. He groans as my teeth sink deeper, cutting through muscle. I’ve milked him for all of his seed and slowly remove my teeth from his skin, as he pulls out of me. “Aida…what did you just do?” He places a hand to his neck, touching his neck where by morning a bite mark will be, not a full mark yet. I’ve claimed him, I’ve marked him as mine. But when his mate comes, my mark will be removed and her mark will be a permanent symbol on his neck. “I’m not sure what took over me!” I confess, shocked at my own actions and also dreading his reaction. “It must have been my heat.” I start to panic, my

Guardianship I was in a trance for the next two days. I was a robot. Alpha asked me to do something, I did it. Without fear, without thinking about it. I acted like a warrior. His constant smiling was evidence enough that I was doing what was expected of me. Axel was now back on Aida Watch. He tried to soothe the tension between us and for him it worked, I was old Aida again. One step forward, always two steps backs. But this time felt like five steps back. He left a note, he had enough time to write a note but not enough time to physically come and find me to say goodbye. His note said he was training with Blake’s brothers, going back to basics on their plentiful land in wolf form. That I need not worry and he will be back soon. That he loves me and couldn’t wait to mark me, he just has to control his emotions first. Lorrel tried to make conversation with me over meal times, but I just couldn’t respond. My mind still going back to when I marked him. How weak I am that I can’t eve

Fighting alone. I gently place Olivia back on the floor and stand up to talk quietly to the teachers. Realistically I was the closest thing to a warrior. I was the only one trained enough to defend all these children. “Have you heard from either of the Alphas?” I whisper to the male teacher. “No, I can’t get through.” Damn what I would give for a mind-link right now. “Why would intruders be breaking into the school?” I whisper. “We don’t know.” Mrs Townsend responds in a state of nerves. Yep, I literally was the only one trained to fight. Whatever comes through those assembly hall doors would have to kill me to get to these children. “Okay…is there anywhere safe to hide the children? I ask the collection of teachers. “The bunker…but it’s near the pack house.” The male teacher responds. “If I cause a distraction and you see a chance, take the children there.” I command at the teachers. “They aren’t meant to get through the school, if they can get through the school…they can g

Bruised and Silent. With my breathing restricted, I pull my eyes back on the wolf on top of me, as my mind starts to sink into darkness. Before my remaining eye closes I hear monstrous growls, Lycan growls. At first I panic, thinking that they did have lycan rebels on stand by. But then his scent hits me, toffee and plum, the richness of his scent just as strong as ever. It’s the best way for me to go. Knowing he was close by. I turn my head slightly to see Axel, Tucker, Mav and even Ricardo have entered the school assembly hall. Ricardo is surrounded by seven males I didn’t know but judging by their similar looks, these were Blake’s older brothers. They didn’t hold any terror in their eyes, just a thirst for blood. An almost competitive look to who can kill the most rebel rogues. The Lycans are like a tidal wave, wiping out everything in their path, without hesitation. I thought for a moment that Lance was coming to me, his scent was closer but then it becomes slightly distant agai

A revelation in the woods. My wolf had a very strong feeling to go to the tree line when I noticed activity on night watch the night before the attack. I couldn’t explain it, it was just a gut feeling I had. But I knew I couldn’t go alone, I would never do that to Lance or Axel. Florence and Jade wouldn’t have me making my own food, so they were currently putting a massive luncheon on the dining table. Typical shifters…the smell of food and they come running. Within minutes, Axel and I were joined by the lycans, Tate, and the Mulder family. Lance lovingly kissed my neck but then went on to pick out sausages, burgers and bacon. He went for the French fries but a growl from my chest made it very clear I had first dibs. He chuckled at my behaviour before standing me up, sitting on my chair and then pulling me into his lap. Chairs had clearly been borrowed from pack member’s homes to fit all the guests around the table. I waited until they at least had some food in their bellies before I
