Hearing my new mate pretty much admit to the fact she has been mistreated in her previous pack has sent my emotions into overdrive, not to mention sending my wolf Rey crazy too. He is wanting to go to their pack now and rip them all apart for hurting his mate. I guess I am going to have to get used to this protective streak coming out more often now. It was already there for family and close friends, but it seemed even stronger for Lola. I seriously feel like I want to go and kill these bullies from her old pack, I am just glad that she allowed me to mark her and that she will be with me here from now on so I can ensure she is safe. Maybe we need to consider having her family move here too, I did faintly hear my Dad mention it to her when I was making the drinks, and that makes a lot of sense. The more things she mentions about her pack, the more I think it is an unsafe place to be, so perhaps it would be better for her family to get away from there. Though if Knox does r

I had headed to the Beta office with the warriors. I had intended to let Jake deal with all this but I wanted to let him know what my Dad had said. It looked like Jake, Manny and Lola had already been there along with Gabe and Manny’s Dads in preparation for the meeting. I am sure they just want to get down to Crimson Night Pack and get this show on the road, deal with this situation so Manny and Lola can be together with no worries hanging over them. Because I imagine it must be lingering over their minds right now how this Alpha was going to accept that they had marked and mated one another without his permission. Not only that, but they were also massively worried about Gabe and his well being, as they had seen how he was struggling with the situation he had found himself in. “Right, let's get this started” I say as I stand at the front of the room, which is now feeling very full with a couple of warrior teams, as well as the others that were already in here, and me a

Hearing Lola say her Alpha likely had a mate lined up for her makes my blood boil. I do my best to hold in my temper. Most people would say I am chilled out and sweet, and yeah I guess I am, though, obviously, as a warrior I have a switch I can flick to turn myself into a fighting machine if needed. That is how we have been trained. Gabe is the same. But the thought of my mate being with another man makes me angry, like nothing else I have ever felt before. And the thought that an Alpha believes he has the right to have arranged this infuriates me. It is not normal, and it is not right. This prick needs punishing, and the sooner the better in my mind. Plus, the sooner the better I get my mate away from that place, in my opinion. I think we need to find a way to get Esme away from there too, because I hate the thought of my cousin’s fated mate being subjected to that if the werewolf council are not able to close the pack down. “Stubborn as always then” I hear Lola’s Dad s

I had been busy in University all day, completing multiple classes and doing some coursework that needed completing too. I was heading out of the classroom block to walk to my apartment on campus to carry on with some more coursework to make sure it was done for the deadline later in the week. Two of my tutors, Mr Braxon and Mrs Dawson, were walking the same way and began chatting to me as I walked, so as much as I wasn’t really paying attention I made polite conversation and smiled nicely at them. The sun was shining gloriously outside, which was definitely not a bad thing. It meant I could maybe sit outside on the small balcony with my laptop to do my coursework for a little while to enjoy the sun. Or even go for a drive and let Kya out for a run, assuming she wanted to, she was still in a mood with me….. I don’t know how long the silent treatment was going to last after me walking out on Gabe. She clearly saw me as being to blame for that, despite the fact I was doing my best

I am shaking as I take in his words. He wants me to reject him? I look to him. He is looking me right in the eyes. He doesn’t look angry. If anything he looks hurt, he looks scared. Does he want me to reject him? Or is he scared of me rejecting him? “Do you want me to reject you Guapo?” I say softly. “Well, that is what you do when you don’t want to be with someone, isn’t it?” he says, the nerves are evident now in his voice. I am sure of it. “But I do want to be with you though. More than you realise, I think Gabe.” I say, biting my lip after speaking, nervous of his reaction. “Ok, so you say, but you say we can't be together, Esme, you say we can’t be mates, so surely you should just reject me? You don’t need me” he says. I swear he is struggling to hold back tears. I know I am hearing his words. I know what he is saying makes sense. My parents asked me if I had rejected him when I had called once I had got home and told them I had run out on him. They had assume
