AMELIA POV
The training field is impressive. It has wrestling mats, a track, multiple racks of training weapons, and plenty of wolf form sparing room. There is even an obstacle course that screams difficulty. No wonder the Royals are doing so well in the war. Their training equipment is to die for.
One of my mates sent a pack link calling for the females about 15 mins ago, and I am super nervous about meeting the she-wolves of Riverstone. Will they be pleased with me as their Luna/queen? How are my fighting skills going to match up against professionally trained wolves? If I didn't have the twins on either side of me, I would have already bolted.
Females are trickling into the field consistently and, while my nerves are at an all-time high, it's nice to see this many she-wolves in one place. I wouldn't say the female numbers match the males, but I'm betting it's close. Maybe a 65% to 35% ratio which is fantastic in this time.
Burly number one, who I learned o
PG13AMELIA POVWe both strike up defensive poses and begin to move slowly, circling, closing in tighter and tighter. She makes the first move with a weak punch that I dodge. I send my right fist out in a hard jab catching her directly in the eye. Her head snaps back, and before she can recover, I am on top of her. I spin her body, moving it and mine into a rear-naked choke. She immediately taps, and I release her.The crowd is silent as we help each other to our feet. I glance over at my mates, and my heart soars from the look of pride I'm getting from them."Next," Gordon yells, and two girls attempt to enter the mat."Im going until I lose, Gordon," I say in a stern voice."Then you fight both," Gordon says back with a snap.Jason immediately moves to get in his face, but Jackson grabs him."Get em baby," Jackson says with a knowing look.I turn towards the two females. Eve bounces up, ready to help me move faster and more ins
AMELIA POVEvery single insecurity I had at the beginning of the day is back, plus some. I can't believe I unleashed some kind of Goddess-relatedfighting abilities onto two omegas.Jackson's pretty apology can't erase the fact that he was somewhat correct. I heard them as we had left the field; they were scared of me. No matter if Jason explained or not, they would fear my power. They wouldn't come to me for comfort like most Lunas. They would come to me for protection. Which is okay, don't get me wrong, but I was supposed to be the mother figure towards the pack. Not a third father and protector. They already have an extra King for that. Jackson might have spoken from an angry and frustrated place, but he was still correct.I need to address the pack. I need to explain myself before I receive a reputation of being a bully. Although they know of my heritage and are excited, they are going to wonder why I would use that level of power on two small omegas. I ne
AMELIA POVMy heart is in shreds as Eve howls in pain. We rip through the air, trying to escape the house that we thought reminded us of home. Now it is the home of nightmares. Was she ever in that bed with him.Did they play house somewhere away from Jason?We shift faster than we ever have. Our fur is bright instead of dark black like we are used to, but we don't care right now. Pack members gasp when they see us darting past, but we don't slow down.So many doubts bombard my brain as we move our legs faster than we ever have. I can't even make out the pack member's faces before we hit the woods.26 years. He was with someone else for 26 years. One night stands hurt. Them breeding with others, having pups with others, hurt so bad I thought that was the worst feeling imaginable, but this: a long term, chosen mate.Math crams in my brain as I try to work everything out. He said he was 47 when they met. Meaning he was 73 when she died. He is 115 now
AMELIA POVI grumble out in pain as I rub my head. I have a huge knot on the back of my head thathas crusty dried blood all around it. What the hell hit me?Eve and I were running...Amelia-..Eve? Eve, you thereSilence. My heart rate elevates. If I can't contact Eve, then I am in trouble. I look around and see a typical prison cell. It's mostly clean and even has a toilet. I raise my eyebrows, nice. I check the rest of my body for injuries but find none good. Escaping is easier when you don't have a limp. And someone was nice enough to lend my human body some clothes: a ratty shirt and too big basketball shorts. But at least I am not naked. And I have no arousal smells on me. So they dressed my form honorably.They must have disconnected me from Eve, but no worries, been there, done this. Being a rogue for five years definitely taught me some things. I stand up and head to the toilet. I do my business quickly, not liking the open bars. There isn'
JASON POVI can't do this. I can't go back to a life without Amelia. My whole body craves her presence. Even if she only wants to be our friend, now that Jacks has ruined everything, I will take it.Last night I stayed outside. I can't be near him. I can'tbelieve hispast might have cost us our mate. I knew it was going to be bad, and We both agreed that she would have to know eventually, but he should have waited. If we were mated and marked, she wouldn't have left.I enter our packhouse looking like a homeless person, but I don't care. I just want to hideaway. The office is thankfully deserted. I've spent all morning grieving, but now I need to find her. I need to plead and beg.I sit down behind my side of our L-shaped desk and pick up my phone."Alpha Raymond speaking,""Hello, Alpha Raymond, this is King Jason. Last night, did you by chance have a female rogue enter your lands,"No, My King. But I will have my patrol double-c
ETHAN'S POVI watchJackson make a beeline towards Scott's old house. I feel bad for him. He only ever wanted happiness. I'm glad I had kept my old hands clean in terms of females. I wouldn't know how to tell my Ava that I had had relationships before her. I turn back towards the scum in front of me and sneer.I've always hated this male. I've seen how some females flinch when he comes around. He is trouble. He doesn't deserve the Matthews name. Scott and Lisa would have already ripped his hide off if they heard how he speaks to and about females.I square my shoulders as I begin to address the members. I can feel Ava's presence, and it's so calming. I love the feeling of being mated. My wrist has an intricate band around it, showing that I am indeed mated to a vampire. And I couldn't be prouder. Her neck bares my deep canine scars, and every time I see it, I get physically excited."Today, our Delta verbally insulted his Queen. As previously stated by b
AMELIA POVI stop in a conveniencestore outside the hospital. I need to find out where I am.The store is old but clean. The lady behind the counter doesn't even look up from her magazine when the bell dings over the door. I guess customer service isn't one of her main priorities."Excuse me, do you have maps here," I ask.Her eyes scream boredom as they stare into mine. "Nope," she says before popping her gum."Okay, could you tell me how far from Amarillo I am," I ask, placing my hand on my hip.This chick is annoying. She has a job. A job in customer service, and she acts like the customer is a nuisance. She clicks her tongue and rolls her eyes."You are about 3 hrs north," she answers as if opening her mouth is equivalent to pulling teeth.I just turn and walk away; screw this girl. I spend the next fifteen minutes in a Walgreens down the street. The lady there is extremely helpful, and she tells me which highway runs directl
R RATEDJASON POVI wake up slowly. My body felt like I had replenished it. I can't believe her shirt was ableto provide such comfort that I could sleep so soundly.I stretch my arms up but jerk when my left arm rubs across long hair. I jump up on my elbow, and I feel like my eyes are going to pop out have my skull.Was yesterday a nightmare? A stupid horrific nightmare? Because my beautiful mate is right here in between us like nothing happened. Eros whimpers softly, scooting out from his depressing corner. He crawls in our mind moving to the front to look at her.Eros- it was real Jason, but she is backI lose all restraint and grab her sleeping face in my hands. I place my warm but dry lips on hers. Desperation fills me. I need to feel her, every inch of her. She wakes up with a start. She struggles for a few seconds before responding to my kiss with the same desperate tone.Jackson's gasp from next to us barely registers in my ears
