Semua Bab Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?: Bab 151 - Bab 160

The run had been everything it was meant to be. Sunshine teasing through the treetops. Warming us up... Ruby had loved every moment of her freedom. Yapping and yelping in pleasure as she darted through the trees of the forest. I loved to experience my wolf running. I just wished it was something she had been able to do more often. Today had felt heavenly, because it had felt like so long since we had done this. It made me feel blessed once again that I finally had my wolf...She was so elegant. Fast. But she loved the fun of playing with the smaller animals within the forest too. Hunting prey, only to allow it to go as she terrified it. I hung back to allow her the freedom of being out and being herself. Simply enjoying the happiness Ruby exuded in the moment. This was how her life was meant to be. How our life should be. Happiness. Fun. Warmth. Everything we had been denied.The forest was silent. Not another person in sight. So the timing of our run could not have be

I was returning to my office after a very much unneeded late lunch with my mother and father. God-damn, that man had an attitude about him. Though, according to him, that was me. I was, in his opinion, a stubborn little fucker, who was not willing to listen to a man who knew what he was talking about. That man, obviously being him. The almighty wealth of knowledge... a walking encyclopedia that was my father, our former Alpha; and he was doing what he could to try to influence me by suggesting I look at discussing training my cousin to take my place as Alpha if the position became too much for me. Something I was not in the right state of mind to consider at the moment…And, if that had not been enough torture to endure, I also had to endure the delights of my mother. Of course, my mother, who had been very forthcoming in expressing her opinions on my current situation, and the fact that I found myself once again alone. Desperate to know if there would be any hope of t

With the eyes of my father once again upon me, anger lingering there, mindlinking Leo had been the most sensible thing I think I could have done. He had half the pack looking for me in an instant. And, within moments, there were a handful of warriors walking in the direction of my father and I, just as his hand had gripped hold of my hair in an attempt to pull me closer to him, but, with the sound of their footsteps closing in upon us, he released my hair and stepped back.“Alright boys. Nothing to see here.” He smiled smugly in their direction, his darkening eyes falling on me. ‘Your time will come, little girl.’ He added silently through the mindlink, knowing that not one of the men there to protect me would hear his threat.“Come on Mari.” One of the warriors I recognized as a guy my brother went to high school with spoke up. “Let us walk you back to the packhouse. Your brother was looking for you.” His uncertain eyes

Seeing Carter today had been the last thing I had expected, so to be hearing all the things he had to say was becoming harder to comprehend. He was like a changed man, and he was suddenly finding all the words I had needed to hear before I left Obsidian Storm Pack. Sharing all the reassurances I had needed to hear. Finally.But, as I took in his handsome profile, his words slowly sinking in, I was terrified to accept them. A small part of me was wanting to question them. This was not the man I had come to know, no matter how much I wanted it to be. Carter had always been one to hurt me….“I changed it?” I whispered. “Because I caused too many issues?” I suggested, knowing that he had thrown that in my face many a time during my time within his pack.To my surprise, Carter chuckled. His face not blanching the way I expected at my bluntness. “Well, I don’t think I can argue with that, my love…” His words falt

I was so desperate to have Carter’s touch upon me that as he looked down upon me, telling me how much he had missed me, I could not help but suggest he show me just how much. With his eyes locked upon my own, memories of our night together flew through my mind, and I craved his touch once more. I needed to feel his skin upon mine. Recall the feelings he could create within my body. I could feel his heart pounding against my own, and I knew he wanted me now, as much as I did.I had been hating Carter for the pain he had caused me, but he had admitted the truth to me. He had been battling grief and that was his reason for pushing me away. As much as it had hurt, I did not think I could hold that against him. The hate had dissipated, and made me question if there had ever me hate there at all. I needed the man in front of me, and think a part of me perhaps always had...A force stronger than I was able to understand had brought the two of us together, and I could no
