Flashback: Night of Aimee’s 18th birthday
Sam POV
I was just sitting at my desk in the packhouse, just staring at the clock. It was almost midnight, I needed to go to bed but I have so much work to do. Since my father passed away and I became the Alpha I haven’t been sleeping well. The clock struck midnight, I felt it as soon as the chimes started. I knew what I was feeling was the mate bond pulling me to her.
“Shit, I have to go!” I yelled to my beta.
I raced out the packhouse and to my car. I had to be with her right now. I hope she isn’t awake for this. We haven’t explained anything to her about what she is. She is a werewolf just like everyone in our town. We had to keep it from her because she is special. A Blue Moon wolf said to unify our world under one alpha. After a few minutes, I was in front of her house. The moment I touched the doorknob the door flew open revealing her father David just past it. Suddenly a blue light filled the house. We all looked at each other wondering what had happened.
I was the first to move, taking long strides up the stairs to her room. I opened the door to Aimee’s room slowly. There stood in magnificent blue light, the mother of all our kind, Selene the moon goddess. she was one of the most beautiful beings I had ever seen, second to my Aimee. Her hair was white as snow and she wore the most elegant dress, it swirled around her like it was alive. My eyes flew to Aimee, who was floating in a mass of swirling blue light. Selene raised a finger to her lips,
“Shh, don’t worry she is okay. You know why I’m here, it is time for your destinies to come true.” Selene finished and turned back to Aimee.
She began whispering and holding her hands up towards Aimee. The light grew brighter as Selene finished her incantation. We all just watched happily as Selene bestowed all the powers of our kind and awakened Aimee’s wolf.
I was taught by Nichole that Selene would come on this day for this. I was in awe, it was an honor to see Selene again. I couldn’t do anything but smile as she finished and Aimee descended to the bed. Selene turned to us and ushered us downstairs after closing her door.
She motioned for us to sit, and began to speak in the most heavenly voice, “As you all know I have awakened her wolf. She will contact her soon.” She paused and looked at me. “She will need your love and protection even more now. You must be by her side everyday when she is not with her parents. You will know when her wolf has contacted her. You CAN NOT touch her until her wolf has explained things. Her scent will become stronger as the time nears. Be with her at her scent’s strongest, listen to your wolf he will know when the time comes.” She finished and smiled. She opened her arms to us. Wrapping her arms around us she disappeared in the same blue light.
I felt so relieved to know the time had come, we won’t have to keep anything from her anymore. Michelle was the first to speak, “We will mind-link her location every day, Alpha.” She hugged me and left to go to bed leaving David and me alone in the living room.
“I will try my best to not be found out before the time comes, sir.” I said.
He just smiled placing a hand on my shoulder, “I know you will son, and thank you Sam.” He said while walking me to the door. We said our goodnights and I got into my car. Driving slower than before back to the packhouse with a smile plastered on my face.
Flash back end back to present
“Alpha,” Michelle said to grab my attention through the mind-link.
“Yes Michelle.” I answered.
“Aimee has left for the café on her bike.” Michelle relayed. Her favorite place to read and people watch, I smiled knowing exactly where she was.
“Thank you for that, how strong was her scent?” I asked.
“We could smell her clearly all the way downstairs and in the kitchen while she was asleep. We think it might happen today.” She said I could sense her anxiety in her voice. I know she was trying to control it.
I jumped up from my office chair, “Thank you” I said quickly and closed the link. I ran a full sprint to my car. I need to get there before her. I have a bad feeling if I don’t something may happen to her.
When I arrived, I looked around to see if her bike was locked in its usual place. It wasn’t so I rolled down my window and waited in my car for her to come down the road. Not long after I rolled down the window I was hit with her honeysuckle and lavender scent. It was coming from the direction of her house. I didn’t spot her at first, two blocks away I saw her. Damn her scent is so strong. Her mother was right it might happen today. I watched her ride past my car and go to lock her bike up. But a group of unmated boys that I hadn’t noticed until now was in her way. I could hear what they were saying to her.
“I want to kill them right now. How dare they speak to her like that.” My wolf Stephen growled in my mind.
“I do too but we can’t.” I said back to him
Right then I saw them approach her and her recoil. My body moved before I could think to. I was there in a matter of seconds, between these hormonal males and my mate. A growl rumbled through me when I faced them, quickly stopping it before she could hear it. Shit, she can’t know yet.
I turned to her holding her bike’s handlebars, “Go ahead inside. I’ll lock up your bike for you.” I said gently to her. She smiled and entered the café. As soon as she was inside I turned back to them. Grabbing the one who spoke to her with that disgusting look in his eyes by the neck, lifting him from the ground. I growled lowly so she wouldn’t hear me.
“Mine!” I yelled in my alpha tone. I continued “NEVER, EVER, talk to her like that again. Or I will kill you in the utmost brutal way possible.” I spat and threw him down to the ground. The rest kneeled bearing their necks to me. “GO!” I ordered, they sprung to their feet, they grabbed their friend and tucked tail and ran away from the café.
I locked her bike up and tried to calm myself. Walking into the café I was surrounded by her scent which calmed my wolf instantly. I didn’t have to look for her because I already knew where she was. I turned the corner and there she was as I expected. Sitting on the couch by the bay window that overlooked the garden. It was her spot ever since we found this place. my heart skipped a beat when she lifted her eyes from her book and her soft features turned into a smile when she spotted me. I smiled back and strode towards her. Moon Goddess thank you for her, I love her so much.
Sam POVHer eyes went wide, as did mine then concern. Her eyes greyed over before she could answer me. Her wolf is finally making contact. I’m fighting the urge to touch her and carry her myself to the planned area. I know I can’t touch her right now. I got to get her father here, he will be able to move her. I mind-link her father, my father’s beta even though he is an alpha.“David, I need you here right now. Her wolf is now contacting her. We are still in the café, in the back.” I said.“Yes, Alpha.” He said then closing the link. It didn’t take long before he was here. He grabbed her up and we both sprinted to my car. He gently placed her down on the back seat. We both hopped into the car and drove to their house. When we got there, we were greeted by her mother Michelle as soon as we pulled up. She directed us through the house to the clearing in the backyard. She had a blanket on the grass for David to lay her on. She also had prepared robes for if any of us had to shift to prov
Aimee POVI could feel the earth between my toes, the trees nearby, and every animal in the vicinity. I took a deep breath smelling everything nature had to offer. My senses intensified as I concentrated on my surroundings. I slowly opened my eyes to see the faces of my dear ones. I was a magnificent blue wolf and I also gave off a magical blue glow.“Oh my god! Aimee your wolf is gorgeous!” my mother exclaimed. I could see the look of admiration reflecting in their eyes. I quickly preened and then sat majestically wagging my tail patiently waiting to see their wolves.My mother was the first to shift. She made it look so easy, within seconds she had shifted. A beautiful maroon wolf was standing in front of me where my mother once stood. She wagged her tail and yipped at me. She came up to me and rubbed her head against mine. All I could feel was the love and admiration she had for me through that small gesture of affection. She sat next to me lookin
Sam POVOn the drive home, I just couldn’t stop the smile that was plastered on my face. My life is now complete. I’m so happy that she wasn’t scared or closed off when she found out. It makes this whole experience a lot more pleasant and easy. When I arrived at the packhouse my mother was standing at the front door waiting for me.“Mother! Did you feel it?” I asked as I came up the stairs.“Yes, I did Sam. Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. Where is Aimee? Did she not come with you?” she asked.“I… well I think we are just going to start everything tomorrow. I told her there was a lot we needed to talk about.” I told her.She nodded in understanding, “Are you hungry?” she asked.“No, I ate with Aimee and her family.” We sat down on the porch swing and watched the trees sway as if they were celebrating.“I’m going to head to bed.
Unknown POVI caught a whiff of her scent so I sprinted in that direction. Soon I came to a small little house, I could smell her all over, this is the place. With one swift kick, I knocked the door down. Peering in I saw her, sitting in a rocking chair.“Ah, nice to see you again, Nichole.” I hissed, grinning at her I began to slink towards her.“Ugh, Alester, you are so predictable.” She said rolling her eyes and shooting me a look of pure disgust and hatred. In a flash, I had her by the neck a foot off the ground. I was taken aback for a second when fear didn’t appear on her face.“Where is she?” I snapped out, extending a claw and grazing her neck to emphasize my lack of patience.“You’ve already lost, they are together now. Not long now and they will be one, unstoppable.” She struggled to get out smiling with victory. Impossible, I was to awaken once her powers came to her.&ld
Aimee POV“Oh sweetie, we are so glad to have you here. Your union will make our pack stronger.” Amber, Sam’s mother said.I smile widely at her, “I’m happy all my dreams are coming true. You know I have always loved Sam. Deeper than I could ever understand, until now.” I said as I sat in front of the vanity.Linda and Amber got to work on my hair, setting long curls pinned up with a beautiful blue hair comb. It had sapphires and platinum gold roses along the edge. Amber put a light foundation on and gave my eyes a slight smoky effect. She finished my makeup with pale pink lipstick.“There we are, perfect.” Amber said before going to the closet to get the dress. It was a powder blue silk dress. It was floor length with a slit up the right leg to the midthigh. I got up and walked towards it.“It’s gorgeous, are you sure it will fit?” I ask.“Of course, it will silly. Your
Sam POVFUCK! FUCK!Why is this happening now? Ten more minutes and we could have finished the mating process. But no, someone just had to attack tonight.“Who is attacking?” I yelled through the door while I grabbed some sweats and a sweater for us.“Rogues, Alpha. They came out of nowhere.” Said the young warrior. Well at least it is not Alester, I thought to myself.“Alright, get all the civilians in the safe house. Your Luna and I will take care of it.” I ordered“Yes, Alpha.” He replied. I could hear him leaving, I walked back over to the bed. " Darling, we have to go downstairs to take care of this. I will do most of the work since you don't know how to use your powers yet. Just stay behind me and stay hidden. They may be here for you." I said trying to hide my unease."Let's do this." she said with enthusiasm I could not mirror. We made our way outside where once a party was going
Aimee POVI open my eyes but I don't see our room. I see the forest where I first met Ash. I look around but I don't see her. I just see the moon, full and bright, like it's smiling at me. The moon begins to glow and a shimmering light descends from the moon.It's Selene, she is the most gorgeous creature I've ever seen. Her flowing light blue dress ripples as she moves. "My dear Aimee, it is so good to see you again." she said as she brings me into her embrace. Again? Has she seen me before? "Yes dear child, I have known you since before you were born. You and your mate are my precious creations." she answered me before I could ask. Looking down at me with love and adoration in her eyes, she guided us to sit by a calm river."Why are you here?" I asked as I sat next to her."I'm here to teach you how to hide yourself. Alester will be able to feel your power and smell your scent." she said. Although I was confused, I sat up straight like a good student wa
Alester POVI gathered the wolves in the courtyard. "Follow me. We will be attacking the Full Moon pack." I ordered and the wolves howled in response. I began my shift, it was very painful. I felt very odd on four legs. Determined to end this quickly, I strutted to the front of the ranks and howled to signal our advance. I turned, and using her power as a compass I began to run south. Hearing the pounding of paws on the earth, I grinned and increased my speed. We should be there in a matter of hours.I could feel that we were close. Hearing the cheers and howls, I signaled the wolves to stop. My ears perked up when the sweetest voice was heard, my blue wolf was addressing her pack. I purred at the sound, I will have her soon. I could sense she had left the area, I crept a little closer staying hidden in the forest. I suddenly felt her arousal peaking, I had to act fast. She can't complete the mating process or it will become difficult to separate them.I signal
