I am not sure where I had found the courage to ask him to stay, let alone the courage to tell him I wanted him. Something had changed the moment I had marked him. Orla had been desperate to be alone with him too. We were now marked, both of us, we should be mated too. I had wanted him long before we knew we were mates, but this was an added need for him. One that was so difficult to ignore… all so new to me. Something I was not used to. I think he knew that. He had to be feeling the same things, right? As I wander across the room to him I see his eyes not leaving mine, the rise and fall of his chest has quickened, telling me he is more than a little flustered. “You have had hell of a day Ev, are you sure about that?” he says quietly, offering me his hand. Wait… is he trying to put me off? Did he not want me? My heart drops at the thought, and my wolf, Orla is whimpering within my mind… I have hesitated at the edge of the bed, and it has clearly made him aw

I had walked from Evelyn’s room with the weight of the world on my shoulders. Why would she not give us the time together we needed to try to resolve all of this? If this prophecy was in fact written about us, then we had to work together to decide how best to work on this. Create some sort of a resolution. Instead all we seemed to do was anger her, though perhaps my behaviour was a little out of character… I cannot describe the feelings this is bringing to me, the constant pressure on my mind at the thought of having to share her with two other men. It turns my stomach. You were always raised to believe the matebond was sacred, that your mate belonged to you and you alone. That any relations outside of that matebond was sacrilege on the bond that our goddess created for you. And why would anybody want to do that to their mate? Though sadly many did. But I never thought that was right. I considered the matebond pure. Sacred. To be respected the way it was meant to be

I awoke the next morning, cosy and warm in my bed, but I was terrified to find a heavy pressure upon my chest. My heart was pounding, as I struggled to open my sleepy eyes. It was only as I had eventually pried my sleepy eyes open that I realised Cayden was laid next to me in bed. The heavy pressure I felt was the weight of him half laid across my chest, his arm slung across me… I had no clue how he had ended up laid like that, he could not be comfortable, surely? Yet, that is how he was laid, and that is how he was sleeping. How had I forgotten he was in bed with me? My new mate. That had to be one of the best night’s sleep I have ever had. Until he had decided to try to smother me with his weight, of course... Being snuggled up against him, tight within his arms had felt so good. I felt safe and I felt secure there, like I belonged. A feeling I had not felt since being a child. I did not want that feeling to end. Though, I have to say, right now, he was crushing me und

I thought the atmosphere whilst sitting as we ate breakfast with Evelyn and her other two fated mates was awkward, but wow, the cold chill settling upon the room as Ariella had walked in was something else… I had just been offering to mindlink her as it seemed she had a mind-block on Jackson, which I have to say tickled me a little, because I could feel her link through the pack links, so that tells me I should be easily able to mindlink her. Which means he is likely correct in his assumption she was intentionally blocking him. And also in his guess it was more than likely to irritate him. She did not like the fact he ridiculed her gifts and made it clear in his beliefs, so I don’t think I can blame her. But still, the air within the room as she walked in here was unsettling… “Oh, how lovely.” Her voice cut through the room, as she stood at the doorway, Jackson had his back to the door so was unaware of her presence as she spoke. I tried not to smile as I sa

I sit with the four of them. The ones who will change our region. Bring peace. Bring security. I cannot help but smile at their naivety as they all seem shocked at the prospect of pups. They are fated mates after all. Three men to one she-wolf. Surely they had to realise the likelihood of pups? Two Alphas, one Beta, they would have always planned heirs had they not? Yet I mention pups and the shock across their faces was amusing. Shock and a look of fear. The sweetness is quite touching really. Yet I know the group of them shall make wonderful parents, bringing this pack some wonderful heirs to continue this strong and powerful pack. Some handsome Alpha wolves like their father's, not to mention beauty of a she-wolf, to light up a room like their mother. I can feel the strength coming from this young she-wolf, yet she seems completely oblivious. Quite bizarre. How had her wolf not told her of their abilities? Their fate? Her wolf had to have known… So why was it le
