Actions and Consequences. Judging by his roar, Trisha had informed him immediately and I have ruined his birthday night out. We can hear arguing outside when the other boys join in and tell the girls a few home truths. “Bloody hell Melody…how could you? What if that was you alone in the woods with a wolf near by?” Kai yells at Melody. I had suspected for some time that Kai and Melody might be mates. Although they were both spring borns so they wouldn’t find out for a few more months. The mate bond doesn’t present itself until both are at least eighteen “What if Aida had been attacked? How could you live with that?” Eli shouted at her too. If she was Kai’s mate, she had her work cut out with Eli. He seemed to despise her. Every so often twins shared a mate but I doubt Eli had anything to worry about. “Always with the drama!” Saskia makes a dig at me as she turns on the spot and rushes out of my room to no doubt support her sister. “I need to search the woods to see who the male w
A Fated MateMy dream didn’t return to me last night, but I think that was more from not being willing to re-enter a deep sleep. I couldn’t not think of Trisha. My guilt for her impending punishment kept me up most of the night. Although awake, I stay in bed until 6am and get ready to return to training at 6.30am. Andrei seems to be gentle with me today. He includes weapons in today’s session. Daggers, swords, guns and an axe. I thoroughly enjoy aiming for the targets with the guns and even more so when I am allowed to use throwing knives. Andrei doesn’t communicate with me much, he barks orders at me as per usual but he doesn’t tease. By the end of the session my aim is almost on target, something I am quite proud of.“Well done Aida, you’ve shown potential with weapons. I’ll up the ante for next time.” “A cannon would be fun?” I joke to him. “I’ll see what I can do!” He chuckles at me. Okay he was acting really weird. I decide to race back to the Alpha house after training before t
Broken Strings, Broken Body, Broken Soul.Deep down I always knew I was alone. Caleb tried to resurrect me but I died that day, and should have stayed dead. Mum’s life would have brought more joy and I would have been briefly mourned and then only yearly by my loving mother. My life’s light was now almost extinguished. I could see my candle, barely burning, just holding on to the last piece of wax. Skylar was Caleb’s fated mate. Not chosen, but fated! I can’t compete with that. He’ll say he isn’t interested in her, that he doesn’t love her but the cruel mate connection will start to weave it’s magic soon enough. She may leave but then if Caleb and I have children and she returned, they would grow up in a broken home. And I’ve experienced enough of that for two lifetimes. She truly hates me! She is punishing me for the sacrifice that my mum made. There isn’t a day when I do not wish I could go back and touch that orb. I could have been at peace. Now I was living another nightmare a
Cut All Ties. Beta Williams assist me walking down the stairs. Every one of my footsteps is heavy and if he wasn’t holding me up, I would be crawling along the floor. We make it to my brother’s office downstairs for 10am. As I enter, he doesn’t even look up from his paperwork. “Thank you Beta, you may leave!” He commands to William. William nervously looks at me before mind-linking me. “I’ll be outside the door.” I don’t sit, I stay standing holding onto the back of the desk chair adjacent to my brother. This used to be father’s office. It has a dark navy feature wall and faint grey matching walls. I notice that by the window is another desk with a pink laptop, top of the range. No doubt where Saskia sits pretending to be just as important, just as skilled. Henri takes a long sip of a cup of coffee before he looks up at me. His eyes are still cold, emotionless. I am no longer his sister, I am the disposable pack member that attacked his precious Luna. “The punishment for attack
Trying to avoid attention. Trey grabs my duffel bag and throws it over his shoulders. He rests his arm around my shoulder and whispers into my ear. “Do you want me to break you out?” “You’re joking but I might actually have to call in a favour!” I chuckle back to him. “Are you both new recruits?” A strong commanding voice bellows to us from behind. We both turn to find three incredibly tall Lycan men walking towards us. The one in the middle is bulky and I would say in his fifties. The one to my right is shorter than his two comrades and younger than the man in the middle. He is covered in tattoos and piercings. I stare at his nose ring, I little bit too long. The third Lycan almost takes my breath away. He is tall and muscular yet slim. He has dark brown hair and orange-brown eyes that look like they are on fire. I can just make out the outlines of a six pack under his tight army green T-shirt. “No sir, I am the driver!” Trey responds trying to keep his voice at an even tone. Tr
Starting to make friends. “Fuck off Spike!” Tucker shouts back just as loudly. Oh great, my aim of literally blending in isn’t going well. This Spike who looks just like his name, with spiky bleach blond hair and spikes through his ears stands up looking at Tucker. “Make me?” He smirks with a growl. “I’ll punch your fucking face in that your mouth won’t be able to say another word!” Tucker springs up and threateningly leans on the table. “Don’t worry, I’ll be so far deep in your new friend’s pussy that she’ll shut me up enough.” Did I just hear what I thought I heard? No one has ever made such a disgusting comment at me that my wolf takes true offence to it. She stands up, growling at this Spike. I’m lost for words, can she not see the size of him through my eyes. Then something odd happens. The doors slam open and Lycan three walks in with someone else. Lycan three must be a high ranking soldier as the atmosphere in the room takes a dark suffocating change. A growl leaves his
An uneven fight. Spike walks towards me with an evil grin on his face. The term ‘cat that got the cream’ came to mind, well he wasn’t having my cream. Prick! He probably stood back waiting for me to be his partner. “Come on she-wolf let’s see what you’ve got!” He gestures to a spare mat and I follow him. “This she-wolf has a name!” I say back to him. I didn’t want him to think he had a one up on me because I was a she-wolf and he was a lycan. Clearly he was going to win this, clearly I wouldn’t last long. But I still demand respect! “Positions!” Alpha commands to us all. I take my place at the opposite side of the sparring mat. My mind is going a thousand miles per a second. I try to calm myself down to think out a strategy. He is strong and arrogant, he will want an easy finish. So I’ll have to dance around him a little bit.A loud horn is sounded and each lycan growls as the sparring session begins. Spike the idiot, comes straight for me. As I thought, more brawn than brain. He w
A trip into Town. I was conscious to shower quickly, however, my shoulder still ached but the hot water provided some relief. I quickly put on a deep green T-shirt dress, black tights, Chelsea boots and a leather jacket. It was October and starting to get colder, but not cold enough with my she-wolf blood running through my veins. It kept me warm in winter and cool in the summer. I add some mascara, bronzer and lip gloss to my look. More to hide the pale look from the pain of my shoulder than to impress anyone. I step outside of Building B and find Axel is waiting for me in the courtyard. He smiles at me as I walk towards him. “You look beautiful Aida!” “Oh…thanks!” I tuck my long dark brown hair behind my ears and put my head down. I wasn’t used to compliments, only Caleb gave them to me. I wobble on my feet at the thought of Caleb and Axel steadies me with his arm. “You ok?” He asks with a frown. “Yes, thanks, just lost my footing. So where are we headed?” I guiltily push Caleb
