Thirty One

Blake’s PovThe sun hung low in the sky, a small wind tossing about down the driveway in front of the pack house. I stood beside Elaine on the front porch, the scent of fresh pine and distant rain heavy in the air, the kind that promised a summer storm later tonight. But I could be wrong, because I had been wrong about something like this before in the past. It had been four hours since Roman had taken the SUV to pick up Julia and Nina, and judging from the way Elaine kept adjusting the collar of her blouse and tapping her fingers against her palm, she was just as anxious to see her daughters as I was nervous to meet them.Mine was worse though, because not only was I nervous to meet them, but also anxious about how I was going to be received by them. For all I knew, they could act like that… wait, what was that woman’s name, the one in the common room that first day I was introduced to everyone at the pack house, or almost everyone? And the last thing I wanted was to have to deal

Blake’s PovThe room they had tucked me into was quiet, and yes, it was different from the one I had been staying in. It was like unsettlingly quiet, and not a single creaky floorboard, no murmuring voices outside the door, not even the faint hum of distant pack chatter.Just… quiet.And in that silence, my brain was doing what it did best… panicking. Spinning every possible scenario about the so-called “mating ceremony” that was happening tonight.According to Ridge, it was simple.According to me, I was about to be symbolically and spiritually bonded to a six-foot wall of muscle and alpha dominance, in front of an audience that may or may not still think I’m a human-shaped liability.So yeah. Simple.I didn’t even know what to wear. Was there a dress code? Should I bring something to sacrifice? Did I have to chant? Was nudity involved?A lot of things passed through my mind of what this could be like, and then my mind went back to the nudity thing again. Was that even possible or c

Ridge’s PovI knocked once against the door of the room, making sure it sounded soft, and respectful, and then I waited but there was no answer. That wasn’t unusual, I told myself. Maybe she had fallen asleep. One of the preparation women had told me she was in her room or probably still in the bathroom soaking. That bath blend Julia recommended was potent as hell, and I knew that was what they used. It had become a kind of tradition to use that for pregnant women, or people who haven't slept in a while. It was also used before major event like this.Damn, I didn't want to disturb her, but I had only came up here to check on her, explain a few things, and drop the news about the dress. Simple stuff like that, the logistics and all. I wasn’t expecting… whatever this was going to turn into.I pushed open the door, slowly, careful not to be loud in case she really was asleep. Damn, I needed to sleep as well for a few hours right before the ceremony, so I don't look upset through it.

Blake’s PovI didn’t remember leaving the bathroom. One second I was staring into Ridge’s not-Ridge face, watching the bones in his arms shift and stretch, his voice growl out my name like it wasn’t a name at all but a warning or a vow. And the next… I was gone.My legs moved before my brain did, the towel I had grabbed earlier clutched tight around me, feet splashing across the tile and then slapping against hardwood. My hands grabbed for the clothes I had discarded in the room… leggings, a loose tee, and somehow I got them on without even thinking. The next thing I knew, I was running out and towards my old room. Soon, I got there, the one they had first given me when I came here. The one that didn’t smell like Ridge like the one I had just left. I locked the door and for a moment, my back was plastered against it, as I closed my eyes to catch my breath, then I climbed into the bed and sat there.I sat still ans quiet, my eyes wide and my breathing shallow.But that wasn't the onl

Ridge’s Pov“I'm so sorry, Ridge. I know you shouldn't forgive me, but I didn't do that to spite you.” Blake said. I stood in front of her in her room, the one she had ran to, reluctantly I must add, because the last thing I wanted was to make this hard for her, or make things weird. “It's fine.” I said, trying so hard not to sound harsh, or anything. She shook her head. “No, it's not fine. I acted brashly, like you were about to do something bad to me. I acted like you were a monster when I shouldn't have.” she said, rubbing her hands together. She was still sitting on the bed even long after my mother had gone. It was an hour to the ceremony, and the only thing I was glad about was the fact that she had not somehow ran away from here. The guests were already arriving. What was I supposed to tell them if she just up and disappeared? I was also glad I was able to keep it under wraps. I had gone straight to my mother to explain what was going on, and she had told me it was

Ridge’s Pov The moon hung heavy above us and it was full over the clearing where the ceremony was set to take place. Lanterns lined the path from the pack house to the heart of the woods, their golden light flickering like fireflies, and they were soft against the cool night. The scent of pine and moss hung in the air, mingling with something warmer; sandalwood, lavender, wildflowers crushed underfoot. Then there was her scent, Blake’s. It was so strong hers overshadowed them all. I stood near the edge of the gathering, dressed in the ceremonial blacks my father once wore, the fabric tailored to my frame now, though it still felt too tight. Not on my body, but in my chest, just as if it was holding something in, something enormous. My hands were clenched behind my back, my posture straight, my wolf pacing just beneath the surface. Wolfe was quiet, and watchful, but he was not as restless as I thought he would be. At least, not like he had been all week. Tonight, he was… ready,

Thirty Seven

Blake’s PovThe house seated silent, and I could no longer hear the ceremonial chants that had gone on for far too long after the ceremony had ended and we had started dinner. Now, I stood in the middle of the room Ridge had given to me the first time I arrived, the one I had ran to when I got confused earlier today, the one I had later gotten prepared in. Julia had walked me back here after the feast, pressing a soft kiss to my temple and whispering that Ridge would find me soon, that I shouldn't worry about him leaving. I knew she had intended pun in her words, but I had just nodded, because I was truly worried. As a matter of fact, a lot of thoughts had gone through my mind about why he had left. I was thinking that perhaps, that was all there is, and we would live separately until the wedding again or something. But Julia had assured me that Roman had only pulled him away for something urgent, not because they wanted him away from his mate. Urgent.That word had settled like a

Blake’s PovFor a long time, Elaine said nothing, I wouldn't if I were her, and I expect we don't talk about this anymore. I was really not going to let them make my father think he was more important than he already did back then during the trial when he got all of that attention. At last, Elaine spoke. “I’m sorry,” she said gently. “I know what he did. But the ritual isn’t about him. It’s about you. Your bloodline, your path. This step helps sever the old ties so the new ones; your life with Ridge, are clean.”My stomach turned, and I turned back to face her. “I don't think you understand what I'm saying. My father murdered a women, Elaine, plenty of them. I turned him in. I testified in his trial about what I saw when I came back home early, what was in his basement. I was fifteen.” My voice cracked. “So no. You don’t get to ‘honor’ that. I don’t care how old your traditions are.”Elaine watched me as I sat on the bed, her eyes full of quiet sympathy. “We don’t do this for him, no

Thirty Nine

Blake’s PovDeep in sleep an hour after Elaine left, I stirred, and even though I was not sure why, I knew something had woken me up. I wasn’t fully conscious yet; as I was half caught in a dream, but some part of me sensed the shift in the room, the change in energy, the faint sound of movement.Footsteps I heard were soft and careful, then I felt the bed dipped behind me.A moment later, an arm slid around my waist, strong and familiar, drawing me back into the warmth of a body of the person I had come to know. My spine curved into the hold instinctively, my muscles recognizing him before my mind did.I exhaled slowly, the tension in my chest loosening. “Ridge.” I called his name, as if to confirm.He didn’t say anything at first and just buried his face into the crook of my neck, breathing me in like he had been waiting to come here to me all night. His scent; pine and earth and something darker, settled my nerves in a way nothing else could. I realized how badly I had needed that

Ridge’s Pov“Thank you, Roman. Please, take them to the mall.” I said and he nodded, then he started to walk away, but then he stopped at the door and called. “Alpha,” I looked up from the screen of my laptop, the financials in front of me, and I titled my head to the side as I saw the look on his face. “What?” I asked. He opened his mouth for a moment, and then he closed it. “Nevermind.” he said and that made me furrow my brows. I could tell he wanted to say something, but I could also tell he was scared to say it. “Just out with it, Roman, what is it?” I asked him. Roman glanced behind him for a moment, then he closed the door and walked back into the office. “I know this might seem like I'm overstepping, Alpha, but I heard that Elaine already discussed the gifting of the token to Blake’s father. Do you think that's good enough?” At that, I sighed, pushing the laptop away from me for a while, and focused on him. “I know it's not good enough, but she has no other family excep
