All Chapters of Scentless Bonds: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Tori’s POVWhen hearing Lilyanna’s voice does Rune move to growl. Clearly not a huge fan of hers from all her years of torture and pain. My body slowly shaking at the thought of her being there. Jake’s arm still wrapped around my waist gently as Zak and Alex move to stand closer. Neither one of them happy with her presence.“Lilyanna… what a nice surprise. What brings you here?” questions Layla to the girl who now stood within the doorway. My mother clearly shocked at seeing her as Lilyanna never once came to any of my past birthdays. Only my mates.“I just wanted to wish Tori a happy 18th birthday, Gamma Layla. I hope that’s okay” admits Lilyanna, her eyes still locked on mine even as she speaks to my mother.“Of course. We actually hoped that more people would have shown up today as it’s Tori’s big day. After all, turning 18 only happens once and we wanted it to be special.”Special? More like nightmare. Mom has no idea just how much she bullies me. Between her, her friends and of c

Jake’s POVWhen continuing to hold Tori’s gaze with my own do I manage to catch a glimpse of Rune within his beautiful amber color eyes. His eyes a smidge darker and with tiny specks of orange. Rune clearly wanting to take over but knew better than to do it. Not unless Tori was in absolute danger, only then would Rune be able to take over.Sighing, I move to speak up. “Look Tori, I know your scared and I know what Lilyanna said frightened you. But we all know she’s a liar as well. And no one is going to kick you from the pack, because I am the new Alpha. Maybe not officially yet, but I have the final say on who comes and goes and you little mate, are not going anywhere.”Watching Tori begin to relax by my words do I move to set down his duffle bag. Only doing it once positive that he wouldn’t instantly bolt from the room as Zak and Alex both move to approach us.Alex now flanking my left side while Zak flanked my right. Each of us now trained on Tori and his gorgeous amber color eyes.

Unknown POVI can’t believe I have to stay here and play babysitter to a worthless runt. I mean, not only is he completely useless, but he has no scent. Plus, from my understanding, he also has no wolf either.Groaning at my internal thoughts does my phone move to buzz. Having been stationed at the pack as a spy, it was my duty to report back to the Elders whenever they called. Like now. My eyes now glancing to my phone. Elder Ellis now appearing across my screen.Sighing, I move to see what his message had said.Ellis: What’s your status? Has the Alpha banished Tori yet?Me: No. He still resides within the pack, Sir.Knowing that wasn’t what he wanted to hear do I wait to hear back. As Elder Ellis was one of 5 Elders who was currently pushing 50 and always tried to enforce the old ways among many of the reigning packs.Beliefs that were vastly forgotten over time as he believed that only Alpha’s of the pack should mate with only those within their inner circle. Or how males weren’t a

Jake’s POVIt’s late into the night once we’ve successfully escorted Tori back home. Zak having offered to stay the night with him so as not to be left alone as his parents were out on patrol. And while I might have been just a tad jealous, I knew Zak was with him which left me feeling less tense.‘Relax… he’s going to be just fine’ whispers Vox, knowing that our Beta had things under control. Alex having gone home for the evening which left me to my own devices for the rest of the evening. My mind remembering how Tori reacted to each of us touching him under the moon and sky made me wish he was here with me right now.‘I know he does… it’s just I really want Tori… I want him here… with us’ is all I move to say to him, deciding that I really needed to speak with my father about the details of the Elders and making it rightfully clear that Tori was mine and Luna of our pack.Determination now rising as I move to head for my father’s office, knowing that he would still be wide awake lik

Chase’s POVWhen watching my son move to tell me no more mates I couldn’t have been prouder of him. A soft smile soon rising as I move to nod my head back slowly.“Of course son. No more mates.”“Thanks dad” replies Jake, just before moving to leave the room. Now leaving me to my own devices as he moves to head for his room.‘He’s going to be a fine Alpha someday’ whispers Kodan, a hint of pride now rising within him as he does.‘Indeed, he will. And when that time comes, I’ll gladly give him the reigns’ I move to say back. Now deciding to call it a night as well before my Luna and mate came looking for me like she always did when I couldn’t sleep throughout the night.~Jake’s POV~‘Do you really think that our father will keep his word and stop giving us mates?’ asks Vox as I slowly move to head for our room.‘Yeah, I think he will. Father isn’t usually one to go against people’s wishes unless he absolutely has too. So yeah, I think he’ll honor our wishes. Especially when I’ve placed
