TylerIf there was a place where I'd happily sign out as being the Beta of Night Shade Pack, I'd take that opportunity. I needed my vacation. This place was tearing me into bits, and it made me wonder how Logan and Frey survived the pressure of being the leaders. I needed a vacation. They'd be gone for a week. Seven freaking days. I ran my hands through my dark hair and turned to Jax, who had walked into my room. I had asked him to find me here because this was my one in a lifetime opportunity to fix things with him. Not only that, but we needed to oversee the work at the construction site. I knew I loved him. I needed no more confirmation because of what happened when we left the pack to help Aiden. Besides, my father was out of the way of my happiness, so why shouldn't I take it? To be honest, I didn't want to get back to Jax because of my father's absence. I wanted him regardless. “Why am I here?” He asked with a frown. “I want you to meet me in the woods in two hours. Plus, you
FreyRun!I swirled my head to glimpse the creature that was after me, but it was nowhere in sight. The razor-sharp earth stones cursed my feet, and I groaned as I raced through the densely packed forest, maneuvering through the tree branches and skilfully evading the thick brush that consisted of thorns, poison ivy and belladonnas. I didn't know how I made it here, but it felt so incongruous. Someone was after me and the only instinct that kicked in was survival, hence fleeing with my life. Flashes of a dagger and a book haunted and hunted my mind as uncanny images persisted in my brain. A line of blood ran down my nose as I grasped my hair and struggled to keep my breathing intact and respond to my environment. “You can't escape me, Frey, darling.” His hoarse voice erupted through the air accompanied by a rather monstrous laughter. I felt a hand caress through my jet black hair, then a faint whisper, whispers, and my eyes bulged out in instant fright. He’d found me. ~I could reme
Logan My heart skipped a beat when Frey slumped to the floor, and I hurried toward her, sweeping her off the ground and placing her on the couch. Was she having complications with the pregnancy? Was it something I didn't know about? I notified Beta Tyler through the mind link, asking him to get the nurse, Jemimah. We moved her to the healers when the nurse arrived. From Jemimah's expertise, there wasn't anything wrong with her or the baby. If it wasn't something physical, then it might be supernatural, so I called on Shannon to work her magic with spells and ingredients, and try to decipher whatever was happening to my mate. I was standing outside the hospital ward, pacing the floor, waiting with bated breath to hear any news that meant her safety. What if she doesn't wake up? What if it's something completely different? Fuck, I need to get my shit together and be hopeful. “Damn it.” I screamed and buried my fist into the wall.“Logan, you need to calm down.” Tyler said. I left his w
FreyI didn't know how long I'd stayed on the other side, but I'd escaped the man that had tried to murder me for his selfish desires. I'd woken up at the face of an unfamiliar woman and she'd reassured me that everything would be alright. Pulling myself up to the headboard, I placed a pillow on my lap and my mind wandered to what had happened to me in my dream state. The memories I saw of my parents with me as a child. Clearly, my mother has always hated me from birth, and it made me question if she was truly my mother. Logan and Shannon must have unearthed what was wrong with me. That's why we were in this unrecognizable place. Well, at least this place got to pull me out of my nightmare. I rose from the bed and moved to the window, which was slightly parted. I couldn't see anyone outside, but could hear the voices of Logan and Shannon by the porch. How was I going to explain to my mate that I'd been seeing weaves that exuded powerful magic and I didn't care to tell him? Love was
Logan I walked into the kitchen to take my coffee. It was morning, and I'd gone through my daily morning routine with the pack patrols. Today Agatha was arriving, and I had to make sure that everything was all set for Frey. Not like we'd returned on speaking terms, but I had to make sure that everything was flowing right for her. Beta Tyler had left with the Sentinel team to scan the outside borders of the territory to unearth if the hounds were moving closer to the pack. I'd also talked with Keaton about initiating training for all wolf bloods sixteen years and above. And he replied it would be wise if it started after the witches arrived. Normally, only wolf bloods above eighteen years of age train. But what had happened last time was a simple reminder that hounds could attack us anytime, and I wanted every member of my pack to be prepared. I wanted these young wolf bloods to defend themselves. I chugged down the contents of the coffee cup and slammed it on the counter, nodding a
Trigger Warning — Detailed sex scene ahead! Viewer discretion advised! LoganThe full moon had risen to its zenith and wolf bloods of Night Shade Pack had gathered in the Elder Woods to shift for the pack run. Frey was resting at the pack house and was awaiting my return after the full moon run. Agatha cautioned me on how dangerous Frey's power might be. But I had to believe that she had what it takes to, that she could control it. If she couldn't, then I'd seek other solutions instead of letting the woman I love perish at the hands of this power. I stood on the platform to address the gathered wolves, whom I could feel their tether to the moon. Tonight, the goddess would weave the mate bonds, wolves would either accept or reject their mates. Either way, I already knew my fate with Frey. I didn't care about the mating bond because the bond I felt with her was extraordinary. “Wolves of Night Shade. Today is the second shift under the full moon since the Elders crowned me Alpha. Let out
Trigger Warning: Detailed gay sex scene ahead! Viewer Discretion advised!TylerI had returned from the ritual that Agatha had performed for Frey. We’d arrived back at the manor to prepare for tonight's run, and I was making sure that everything was perfect for the night I would mark and claim Jax as my mate. I spent my day with the Sentinel wolves outside the pack territory, tracking the movements of our enemies to discover if they're drawing close to the pack. Nothing! Not even a sign that the hounds were near the territory. I returned with the feedback to Logan and also got informed that Frey was having twins. I’m so happy for my brother. Two Alpha heirs, damn! He was a talented scorer. The full moon was rising through the dark blue cloud and my wolf howled in my head as it prepared for tonight's run. I could feel my tether to the moon getting stronger with each passing second as I grabbed my jacket and headed out of the manor, making a beeline to the Elder Woods. I was almost th
LoganI pulled the white bedsheet to myself, running my hand over the bed. My eyes snapped open when I couldn't find Frey in it. As I shot to a sitting position, I turned to the other side and saw her standing in front of the dressing mirror, brushing her hair. She looked magnificent in that lacy red dress. “Frey. You are awake. Is it 6 yet?” “Logan, it's 10 am. I figured you'd need your rest after last night.” She teased as she bit her lips.“Hmm. I wouldn't ask for any other mate.” I chuckled. I rustled out of bed and walked up to her, caging her in my arms. She smiled as she held onto me, and I buried my face in her neck and inhaled a lungful of her scent. She wheeled to face me and placed her hands around my shoulder. “Breakfast is ready. Tyler took care of the patrol this morning. The kids are in school and we have the entire day to ourselves.” “Yeah. I wanted to talk about something before you leave.”“Sure. I have something I want to say too. But you go first.” She responde
