a bit shorter than usual, but I had a dentist appointment today and my oldest asked me to dye his hair red. I use manic panic, so it doesn't damge his hair. i hope it works, though. his hair is pretty dark.
Raiden’s pov“Every time I see one of her scars, I think about killing the people who made those scars.” I admitted it out loud for the first time.Every time we're in bed after some mind-blowing sex, usually I will cuddle my little mouse and point to a part of her body that has a scar or mark. And I’d ask what happened. She would tell me, and I’d kiss the spot and make it better. I would be calm when she would tell me, and I tried to act like I wasn’t plotting everyone’s death in detail. But everything they had done to my mate, they’d get back in tenfold.An eye for an eye, like the humans often say.“You have a list?” Suzie asked.“Sure do. It begins with the motherfucker that’s leading the bunch, general Sweets, but not far behind him are her parents. I usually don’t kill women, but for mommy dearest, I am willing to make an exception.”Suzie chuckled nervously, “you’ve become dark.”I shrugged, “maybe I’ve always been this way. But now I have people to point my anger at.”“Like Zev
Zev’s povI want Lana back.It was a simple thought that popped up in my head a few days ago after Suzie’s call, and it’s been like a virus taking over my brain.It's all I can think about right now.I’m not even sure how, but I want her back. No, I need her back, and I will do whatever it takes for how long it takes to get her back in my arms.‘And Raiden?’ Rishi asks.I sigh internally. I can’t tear them apart. I know they’re a package deal, and I also know winning back Lana is going to be much easier than getting Raiden to forgive me.He hates me for what I did, and I can’t blame him.I had many excuses why I did what I did, but they all seem meaningless now. I wanted to hurt her back, and I chose to do it in the way that would be the most painful to her.‘But you didn’t physically hurt her.’ Rishi reminded me of this, as if it were something to take pride in. Oh, wow, Zev, you didn’t abuse a defenseless rejected mate of yours. Great job! You’re less evil than your father.I stared
Atalanta’s povI am no stranger to feeling guilt, but this is a type of guilt I am new to. How could Zev’s father cheat on his mate? How could it not eat him up inside, because I feel like I’ve just betrayed Raiden and I only talked to Zev?‘Only talked? I think there was a bit more to it.’ Artemis said.She was right. The tension between us was unbearable. I had wanted to run away, but it was like I couldn’t. Is this the mate bond between us? Or have all my attempts to stop being in love with Zev simply not worked?Whatever the reason, it can’t happen again.‘You were meant to have two.’My wolf had always been the most vocal about Zev’s treatment toward me. She always said I didn’t deserve what he was doing. Why was she the one urging me to give him another chance?‘Because at the time he wasn’t ready to be your mate. I am not saying to let him into your heart right away. But he and Rishi are my mates too. Maybe they can prove themselves worthy of us.’Worthy…Am I really worthy of t
A few of you have asked me about the new story for the Iron River pack and I had this idea this evening and decided to write a chapter.I would love to hear your opinions. This is just a draft and I haven't figured out most of the story.anyway, here it is...Nivia’s pov“You…” He growled lowly.I did not want to turn around, recognizing the voice of the person I had grown to hate over the past few months.The whole evening I had searched for this delicious scent of burned wood and marshmallow. It’s a scent that isn’t just delicious, but there are memories tied to it. Memories of having smores with my great grandparents and my grandparents.Memories of them sharing laughs and drinks around the fireplaces while I listened to their stories.My favorites were the love stories, and second came the ones of war.While war isn’t something to celebrate, they told their stories in such a way that made the fighting almost sound romantic. They weren’t just fighting to protect themselves, but thos
I need two chapters from both their pov for me to have a story idea. But I will try to write whenever I have time and add chapters slowly.in the mean time, I will continue to try and post at least five times a week for Hunting for Our mate. Because there is a lot more to come!I will start on chapter 94 right now. So the update should be up in a few hours if all goes well.Oh, and don't hate Ford too much. I'm sure there's a nice guy in there somewhere. lol.I have tried to make him sound british. As a dutch person I watch a lot of british and american tv, so that's helped with my English. But Ford isn't just british, he's a snob as well. So it takes a bit of looking online for synonyms to get his way of talking right.- - - - - - - Ford’s povThe gall of this young lady.‘Your mate.’ Callum, my wolf reminded me.How could I forget?I looked up at the moon as Nivia Evelien Leia Omari ran in her wolf form, her white wolf moving so quickly that it almost looked like a stripe passing by
Raiden’s povI knew something was up. I always do. But I also know my little mouse sometimes needs time to process. She is not used to voicing her thoughts or saying what she wants or needs.It’s my job to be her safe place. To allow her to come to me when she needs to.And I know when my mate is lying and she isn’t lying, she’s trying to find the right words."Does it not bother you that she's still not able to speak freely?" Atlas asked.It does. But maybe that’s on me. Or on her parents. Yeah, of course I get insecure when she doesn’t talk to me. Especially because I know if Zev wasn’t an asshole, she’d be able to confide in him.‘What if that was still, -‘Nope. Not even going to go there. There are some things that are unforgivable. Rejection is not something you can just do, change your mind, and then take it back. A rejection is permanent. It hurts for a reason.Your heart isn’t merely breaking; it’s severing the connection, the bond, to your mate.I am glad Atalanta hasn’t had
Zev’s pov"Ethan, you can't possibly be allowing Raiden to do this." Once Raiden had left the room with Lana, Steve spoke.Raiden had looked at me, as if he were trying to make me jealous. As if he were trying to show me what I could never have. And it worked to a degree. I was jealous.Alpha Ethan sighed, “I am not letting Raiden do anything. He’s an adult, capable of making his own choices. We’ve always noticed Raiden and Stephen didn’t get along as well as we wanted to.”“Yet you did nothing to fix that.” Steve replied.“I am still the alpha, Steve.” Ethan growled. “Don’t test me right now. Like Grace said, we are not making any rash decisions. Suzie isn’t of age yet, so while she is here she can join Stephen during his beta training. It will give her a chance to make a decision, and if Suzie decides not to accept Raiden’s offer, it means Stephen won’t be behind in training.”“You want him to work together with her?” Steve looked at Suzie as if she were worthless. I wish I could min
A short chapter so i made it free, because it feels wrong charging so much for only 1300 words.It's my youngest birthday, today. He's six.- - - - - - - -Raiden’s pov“I’ve been hiding something from you.” I admitted to my little mouse.When I had walked into the room today, she had quickly hid something in her closet. This had not been the first time this week. I had been busy helping dad, but I made sure to spend time with my mate. It helped Suzie was here because it meant there was another person looking out for Atalanta.Unfortunately, Suzie was occupied with her training to become my beta. So my mouse was still alone a lot of the time. Mom spent some time teaching her some Luna stuff during the day; I made sure to train her every morning, and Suzie went on runs with Atalanta as well.But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to be here all the time.I couldn’t get rid of this nagging thought that my mate wasn’t okay. That she needed me.There was something going on.Yet s
Zev’s pov“Do you want to do the honors?” Lana asked me.“Shouldn’t you or Raiden tell everyone?” I replied as I played with my mate's hair.Raiden smiled at me, “well, you did all the hard work, so you deserve it more.”I laughed, “hard work? Weren't you the one who started complaining one month in because you were getting tired of having sex multiple times a day?”“While it was hard work, it was also very satisfying…." Raiden said, staring at our mate with lust in his eyes. "But you were doing the real hard work, watching me come inside our mate for months while you couldn’t.” Raiden replied with a wink. “But now we can go back to our regular positions!”“I think that might make him even happier than me being pregnant,” Lana giggled.“Almost, little wolf of mine, almost.” Raiden bended over to kiss Lana. He stood back up straight and looked at me, “Hey, man. I was thinking. We should let all the kids have the same last name.”“All the kids? How many do you think we’ll have?” I laugh
Okay, I know, I was supposed to write the final chapters, but then I suddenly thought about the twin brothers. and I started coming up with another idea and I had to write two more chapters....So. Now you can choose lol.Either Kiana or Kai.This story would be called Hunting my rogue or something along those lines.It starts a bit sad and is about second chance mates.chapter 1:Liraz’s pov“You need to run, Lee.”“No, Mom… You’re strong. You can do this! Just fight it.” I tried. I didn’t want to go. She had held it back for so long.Mom shook her head as tears ran down her face. Her hands had begun to turn into claws, and fur began to appear on her skin. “No, sweetie. It’s time. Go, please.”“But, -““Liraz!” Mom growled. “You listen to your mother for one damn time!”I bared my neck in submission, feeling the power of her growl. “I’m sorry, Mom, I’m just…”“Don’t apologize, Lee. Just run!” Mom said. I could hear the pain in her voice as she was trying to hold her wolf back."Maybe
Once again, don't read this if you don't want any possible spoilers.This one is a bit shorter, I am probably going to add some more to it once I really start writing. But for now it's enough to paint a picture of Torin I think. And pleae let me know what you think.......chapter 2 : BetterTorin’s pov‘You need to be more careful,’ Troy, my wolf, said the third time the vermin fell off his back.I could have let him handle the run. He would have been more gentle with the girl. But she needed to learn her place.To her, my hatred probably came out of nowhere. But I had learned to hate her family from the moment I had been born.For appearances sake, I had to show respect to the alpha heirs. I could even tolerate the brother. Ruan seemed to know his place and opted to attend gamma training instead of alpha training. But the vermin especially got on my nerves.Ardale used to mean something. It was a school exclusively for future alphas and betas. Then they let future gammas join
So, I was thinking if I should write a spinoff about one of the trio's kids. But to do that, I needed to come up with their names, how many kids they have, and a bunch of other stuff.I can't write an ending and then change some of the story for the sequel.So I decided to write two chapters, just to see if it could work.This isn't set in stone, and it kind of depends on your comments if this becomes canon. If it does, I'll use what I've written in these chapters as a basis for the end.So if you would rather not read any potential spoilers, you can skip these chapters.The story would be called "Hunting My Bully" Or something along those lines.Chapter 1: Vermin.Kiana’s pov“There she is….I told you you don't belong here.” Torin growled. His eyes locked with mine and in them was pure hatred. “Vermin, you can run, but I’ll find you…”Honestly, I thought my time at Ardale would be different. My siblings all went here and had a great time. As a matter of fact, two of my brothers still
Raiden’s pov“So how long do you think it will take?” I asked after fucking my mate for the fourth time today. “Not that I’m complaining, but I’m not sure we can keep this up.”Atalanta giggled, “are you tired, Raiden?”“No!” I scoffed.“He is,” Zev said.“No, you are!” I shouted at my friend, who just came out of the shower.“I’m ready to go again and again.”Zev and Atalanta both laughed, “it’s fine to admit you’re tired.”“I’m not fucking tired!” I argued. “I just need, like, a tiny break. Just like a day or so? No, not even a day. Like an afternoon? Or an hour?”Atalanta kissed me, “I actually read it’s better not to do it too much because of something to do with sperm count? Once a day should be enough, but I was enjoying all the attention.”“Greedy little mate, aren’t you?” I replied, kissing her with passion as I slipped my tongue in.“Hey, you asked for a break!” Zev scoffed.“See! You’re worn out too,” I said, as I broke away from my beautiful mate.Zev shrugged, “fine. I am.
Zev’s pov“I’ve missed you!” Suzie said, as she gave Lana a big hug.“And what about me?” Raiden scoffed.“Yeah, not so much.” Suzie replied with a sly smile. “I actually like running this pack without you. It’s much easier.”“Shut up.” Raiden chuckled.“And Zev?” Lana asked as she let go of Suzie. Raiden immediately snatched our mate under his, tucket into his armpit. Greedy guy.‘Well, you did get her to yourself for two whole days…’ Rishi pointed out.“I missed Zev a bit.” Suzie admitted with a wink. “Mostly to help out with Ven. He was really busy all the time. I didn’t realize how much work you two do.”“Really?!” I jokingly scoffed. “We do most of the work!”“Uhm… I’m the damn Alpha. I do most of the work.” Raiden said, making himself even bigger than usual. If he were a gorilla, this would be the moment he’d slap his chest. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if he still might do it.“Yeah, whatever you think, big guy.” Suzie said, as she rolled her eyes. “But tell me everything;
Raiden’s pov“Can we talk?” Zev asked me, as he stepped into my office.Suzie and our little wolf were out shopping. One of Atalanta’s brothers had a birthday coming up, and my mate was worried her gift wouldn’t be good enough.No matter how much Zev and I tried to reassure her, she was still worried.I didn’t really get it, but, well, I wasn’t raised by psychos.Things were well. Atalanta had asked me and Zev yesterday if we thought her dad would like it if she started calling him Dad instead of Tharon. We both said yes; that man obviously loved her. He's probably going to cry when she does call him dad.And so did the rest of the family.I must admit, Tharon’s mate Mara wasn’t exactly thrilled at first. It was just a shock to her to realize her mate had fathered a child with someone else. But like anyone, once she got to know Atalanta, she loved her.Her brothers were funny, though. Especially the oldest seemed very protective of Atalanta. And her little sisters love Atalanta and fo
Zev’s pov“So, how did it go this time?” I asked Lana.She smiled at me, a real smile with her eyes squinting and her cheeks so adorably round. “Good. Really good.”She has gone to see her father a few times now, and he has introduced her to the rest as well. Every time, either Raiden and I both went with her or one of us did. This time it was Raiden’s turn, while I kept an eye on the pack with Suzie and Stephen.Things were good. Not just between Lana and her father, but inside the pack as well. Even outside of the pack.We had formed a plan with our allies. We were done hiding from the hunters. We weren’t actively going to hunt them, but we were done playing defense.So the moment a hunter was spotted in one of our areas, we made it our mission to find the hunters and take them out. Soon the hunters started realizing their chances of actually beating us in a fair fight weren’t that high.Taking us out one by one was easy, but taking out an entire pack? None so easy at all.With Lana
Atalanta’s povMy head was still spinning from everything that had happened. It had been hard to focus on the meeting when I was replaying everything Alpha Tharon, my biological father, had said.He is either my dad or my stepdad. No, he doesn’t even deserve the title of dad in any way or form. That man who raised me, even though he’s dead now, still has an effect on me.My mother hated me, so did my brother, but there was something different about the way that man treated me. Maybe deep down he knew I wasn’t his.But now I have a chance. And part of me wonders how badly this will go when another thinks it can’t be worse than what that man that held the title dad all these years did.It can only go up, right?With Raiden and Zev by my side to keep me safe, there is only a chance things will be better, not worse.I am not used to feeling hopeful about my family.But for the first time in my life, I see my value and see that I deserve more than what I had.It felt nice to know that even
