Fenrir POV.
After calling out to Mia a few times, I decided to wait until tonight. The hotel is pleasant, but it’s not home. We have a few hours before night falls.
“Don’t worry Fen, she will come round.” Theo says as he hugs me from behind as I stare out of the window, watching the humans go about their day. I sigh and place my hand over his.
“How long will it take, though?” I say, I know she will freak out when she finds out what we are and who we are. I need to speak to the only person who I know that has dealt with a scared mate. Titus Blackwood.
Alpha Titus Blackwood of the Venom Fang Pack is mated to my sister, Destinee Shaw. Well, I say sister. Her wolf is the wolf of my twin sister, Selene, the Moon Goddess. So that makes Destinee my sister fucked up, I know. But it makes sense to us.
I am Fenrir, the God of Hell, the Harbinger of Death. My werewolf abilities are not limited to one form, as I can shift into a Lycan or a combination of the two, making me a powerful force to be reckoned with. Like my sister, I have magical abilities.
“Do you fancy going on a brief trip to see our niece?” I ask, and Theo chuckles.
“Well, I would rather have your cock in my mouth, but yeah, why not? Why do want to go and see her?” He mumbles as he rubs his face against my shoulder, and I chuckle at him. Moving my hand, I lift my arm and pull him to my side.
“Well, Titus could help us with this. After all, Destinee ran from him when she found out he was her mate. I think Aura had a massive part to play in that, if I’m honest. But regardless, Destinee may have a solution. Besides, we get to see our niece. What’s so wrong with that?” I tell him, looking down into his deep chocolate brown orbs. He smirks up at me.
Theo is 6 foot 6, he has beautiful dark brown eyes that are like endless pools, his hair is black. Theo looks more like a mafia boss. He is all muscle and comes across as cold. But I know otherwise. Theo was an Alpha, he was the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack in California, but he didn’t want the responsibility and when he met me it came as a shock to us both. But after some time we both warmed up to each other and fell in love. It’s not uncommon for males to be mates and marked to each other. So Theo decided to hand the pack over to his younger brother and we have been together ever since.
“Come on then, the quicker we go, the quicker we get back and we can see our girl again and then I get you to myself. Before the shit hits the fan.” He says with a sigh.
“Ok, you big baby. Have I been neglecting you lately? Am I a bad mate?” I talk in a baby voice, trying my best to coax him when he scoffs, rolling his eyes, and I laugh at him.
“Ok, ok, I was joking. Come on.” I say as I close my eyes and imagine the packhouse of Venom Fang as the air ripples and the portal appears.
I have to be careful where I open portals, especially in the human world. If we were in our world, it wouldn’t matter. But alas, we aren’t. Humans would freak out if they knew. Well some do know of our existence. It’s not uncommon for humans to be mates to wolves but this is different, Mia can’t reject us.
Since the war with the rogues many humans were killed and I had to use my abilities to erase minds and restore towns.
Stepping through the portal, we step out onto the hill by the packhouse. Looking over, I see her Destinee. She is sitting with some of the pack pups on a few blankets, reading to them. I howl and she shifts her gaze to me and Theo. She tries to stand when her female Beta Sadia hauls her up. I was about to question Theo when I see her sporting a baby bump.
Fucking hell, she is pregnant again. Theo takes off running towards her. I chuckle at him. He loves her, and she loves him. He likes to wind Titus up every chance he gets. It is funny, but I know how possessive and protective Titus is.
“Little one, I see congratulations is in order.” I say, walking towards her and she smiles and waddles into my arms and I hug her. I love this woman.
“What brings you here?” pulling away, she looks up at me. I’m about to answer her when I hear her.
“UNCLE FENRIR, UNCLE THEO!” I turn and look at the little girl with black hair and blue eyes running towards me at full speed, Beta Marcus, and Beta Kendra hot on her heels.
Dropping to my knees, I open my arms, and she runs straight into them. I lose my balance and I land on the floor as she giggles, hugging me tighter.
“Hey, Princess. You have gotten big.” I say when she looks down at me and smiles.
Theo lifts her off by one arm, and she squeals at him.
Dahlia is 7 years old, she is like Destinee. Goddess help Titus when she gets her first boyfriend. When that happens, it will be like the scene from Bad Boys when the father and his best friend scare the shit out of the boy who came to take the daughter on a date. I chuckle at the scene from the film.
“Oi brat, what about me? I thought I was your favourite?” Theo growls playfully at her and she growls back and we laugh.
“You both are my favourite…” Marcus scoffs, and Kendra giggles.
“What about me, Princess? I thought I was your favourite?” Marcus asks with a whimper, and Dahlia rolls her eyes at him. Theo puts her down, and she walks over to her Beta and stands with her hands on her hips.
“Goddess, Marcus. I can have more than one favourite, you know. Stop being a baby. Aunty Kendra, how do you put up with him?” Dahlia asks, pointing at Marcus, and I laugh out loud, clapping Marcus on the shoulder.
“Well, we all have to put up with his moody baby behaviour.” I look up and see him. Alpha Titus Blackwood.
“Brother, it’s been a while. Any joy finding her?” Titus asks as he walks closer. He wraps Destinee up in his arms and kisses her forehead and Dahlia makes the vomit sign and I chuckle at her antics.
“Yes, we have found her. However, I need your advice.” They all gasp and Destinee laughs. I glare at her with a growl and she bites her lip.
“Brother, I’m probably better at this than Titus is. What is the problem?” I look towards Theo and he shrugs, great.
“Beta Kendra, can you take my Princess away? This is not a conversation for little ears.” I tell look at Kendra and she looks at Destinee and she nods.
“Dahlia, go with Aunty Kendra. I need to speak with you dad and uncles.” Destinee speaks softly but with a hint of authority in her tone and Dahlia nods her head at her mom. No-one dares to piss Destinee off and with good reason. She can be a handful and that is even when Aura isn’t riling her up.
“Are you staying for dinner, uncle Fenrir? Uncle Theo?” she asks and I nod with a smile.
“Yes,” she fist pumps, the air bouncing on her feet. “I will go and bake cookies with Aunty Heather then, come on Aunty Kendra, baby Marcus.” I stifle the laugh that threatens to leave my lips.
Watching Marcus pick her up and she squeals as he tickles her. They walk out of view and earshot.
“Ok, here’s the problem.” I tell Titus and Destinee everything. Destinee’s eyes change to Aura’s and I gulp. When she speaks.
“Brother, I get the dreams, but you have a bigger problem. She is human. No wonder she fucking freaked out. You rocked up after revealing your face and you both called her ‘mate’ Goddess help you. Mia sounds like she is more of a handful than both me and Destinee.” She says with a chuckle, and I growl at her.
She growls back, and I stop. Aura is more powerful than I am, even when she isn’t pregnant.
“What do we do?” Theo asks her, and she turns her gaze to him and smiles before she sighs.
“The only thing you can do is let her come to you. When you tell her the truth, don’t be surprised if she runs and hides. It’s a lot to take in.” she turns to face me again. “I’m sorry Fen, I don’t know why Selene mated you with a human. But I will say this: approach this the same way you did when you found Theo. Take your time. She won’t be able to reject you so good luck.” Aura retreats and I stare with my mouth open.
“Well, thanks Aura. That is all the encouragement I need.” I say, rolling my eyes.
“Instead of playing with her in the dreams, take a different approach. Sit with her and talk to her. She won’t be that freaked out when you see her again then, hopefully. Oh, I know, why don’t you bring her here and I will speak to her.” I look at Destinee and Titus shakes his head with a chuckle.
“What? She sounds really fun, besides she is my sister-in-law. Human or not.” Titus kisses her head and I look at Theo and he nods with a smirk on his face.
“That could work. Once she knows the truth and is comfortable, I will bring her to meet you.” I tell her and she smiles.
Selene, you must be laughing you fucking arse off with this one.
Mia POV.I’m laying on the familiar bed, but I don’t see them anywhere. Something is wrong. Looking around my surroundings, I realise I’m actually in my bedroom.“Hello, anyone there?” I call out and my voice echoes into the darkness. Pulling myself up, I shuffle to the side of the bed and stand.“Mia,” I hear it echo and I turn around, looking around for him. The man from the diner.“Mia,” I follow the voice in a trancelike state. I see a door up ahead. I move towards the door and place my hand on the handle and push the door open and I’m blinded by pure bright white light. Shielding my eyes with my arm. I let my eyes adjust to the light. Before shapes take form.I’m standing in a field on top of a hill. Looking out over the area, it is beautiful. I take a step forward; the grass is soft under my bare feet and the air is warm; the sun is high in the sky and there are no clouds in sight.“Mia,” I turn my head to the side and I’m standing at the treeline. The trees are enormous. They l
Fenrir POV.Coming out of the dream, I know Mia has woken up. I look over at Theo, who is still blissfully asleep. We need to monitor her; I know something is going to happen to her. I can feel it in my gut.Hearing a groan from my side, I turn my gaze to Theo, who is grinding his hips against my leg, and I chuckle.“Good morning, mate.” I say to him, and he grunts in response before he moves closer to me. I watch him as he sits up, rubbing his eyes, and a yawn escapes his lips.“Morning, well, last night went well.” He says as she snuggles closer to me and I sigh.“It could have gone better. I think you scared her a little bit. Maybe tone down the moody Alpha vibe you give off. We need her to come to us willingly, not run for the hills.” I tell him and he pouts and folds his arms over his chest.“I am not moody, nor do I give off an Alpha vibe. That mister is all you,” he says, poking me in the chest. I chuckle at him.“Yeah, sure, whatever you say, Alpha Moody.” He growls at me and
Mia POV.The men that have been coming into the diner today have been strange. Strange as in, they are fucking massive. I’m surprised they managed to fit through the door, but the weird thing is that they keep looking at me and I mean full on staring. It made my skin crawl; I shudder again.“Gee, I need to get out of here.” I tell her through text and she gives me the side eye. She walks into the kitchen and texts me back.“Pretend to take the trash out back and go. Something is off with those guys. They look like they want to eat you or something.” I send a quick reply.“Ok, what about my stuff?” I pretend like I’m doing something, not looking up at them at all. I need to get out of here.“Trash bag, put your stuff in one and pretend it’s trash to take out, then run.” She replies and my eyes widen as I look for a clean trash bag and I find one. I bend down and open the bag, stuffing my things inside it.Standing back up, I take my things and the actual trash out. Heading into the kit
Theo POV.Humans, yuck. I don’t like the humans; they are vile disgusting creatures, so you can imagine how I felt when Fen told me were in fact mated to one. I shuddered and became angry at Selene. How could she do this to us? This is some joke to her surely, First she mated me to a man and now a human. It took time to get my head around the idea of not just Fen but also the human. Mia our mate.But, here we are. She is the only human I am fond of and yes; I come across as being a prick, but that is just me. If anything, Mia should be more scared of Fen than me.Tilting my head to the side as I peer down at her, she visibly gulps and I sigh, running a hand through my black hair.“We mean you no harm, Mia. I know you are scared of me, but I will never hurt you. Sit up and let’s talk about this.” She frantically shakes her head and I move around the table and sit down next to her head. Looking down at her and she is shaking. Fucking great.“Why are you here? What do you want with me?”
Fenrir POV.Walking through the front door of our personal haven. Our home is secluded close to the base of the mountain and it is surrounded by dense forest. There is only one way in and out and it is hidden, well unless you are me who can portal anywhere, that is.Walking into the living room, I place Mia down on the sofa and look at the bruising on her face. “She won’t want our blood to heal her. We will have to wait for her to wake up and decide what she wants to do.” I say, looking down at her. Finally, she is here with us.Granted, this is not how I envisioned her being here. But we didn’t know where she lived and besides, that psycho will never find her here, so in my justification she is safe.Placing a blanket over her, I leave the living room and head into the kitchen. We don’t have a first aid kit with being shifters. We don’t need one, especially with my blood. But considering Mia is human, there is a lot of things we are going to have to buy to accommodate her.Theo passe
Mia POV.Running through the forest, all I see are trees, no roads or building. Nothing. I scream in frustration before I change direction and carry on running. I’m breathless, but I don’t stop. The burning in my lungs forces me to stop and clutch my knees, taking big gulps of air and I look around again and realise I’m staring back at the house.“FUCK!” I scream out. I won’t give up. I turn and smack my head into a war of muscle. Staggering back, I rub my forehead. Wiping my eyes and I hiss as my cheek stings. Fenrir takes my face in his hands and I swat them away and step backwards. They are not good fucking people at all.“Stay away from me.” I grit out at him when Theo comes from the side of Fen. Taking steps back, I don’t take my eyes off of them. They are both walking towards me, herding me back into the prison they call their home. No, fuck that.I turn and walk back to the forest. “Mia, you can’t get out of the forest. Just give it up. We need to take care of your bruises and
Fenrir POV.This is my fault, but she needed protecting, more now than ever. Her ex is despicable to do that to her with her own mother and then say what he did to her. I knew she was speaking the truth. I would have known if she was lying to us.I can’t let her go back. It’s not that I wouldn’t be able to find her again. Of course I could. Her scent will always call to me. Her scent is a delicate mixture of strawberries and watermelon.During the dreams we could never pick up her scent but when we saw her in the diner, her mouth watering scent hit us and so we will always be able to find her. However, with her ex being around, it is for her safety.“Yeah, keep telling yourself that Fen, you and I both know it’s nothing to do with her ex. It’s because of you. You can’t bear to not be around her and so you have brought here and now she is refusing to eat or speak to us. This is on you, Fen.” My wolf has to butt in, but he is right, of course.For too long, we have searched for our mate
Mia POV.Waking up, I can taste chicken soup. When did I eat that? I remember throwing the bowl against the wall and it smashing to bits.That bastard fed me while I was unconscious, oh just you wait Fen. I climb down off the bed and stagger to the door. Ripping the door open, I come face to chest with a man I’ve never seen before. He has a scar on his face and I scream, slamming the door and stagger back, crashing into the chest of drawers.The door rips open, and Fen and Theo come running into the room. My hand is covered in blood. I caught my side on the corner of the drawers and fell. Fen takes my hand, and I snatch it back and shuffle away from him.“LEAVE ME ALONE!” I scream at him before I whimper and hiss from the movements. I move my hand back and lift my top with shaky hands. Black dots dance in vision, but I blink them back. Anger surges through me and I glare at them, my captors.“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, GET OUT, GET OUT!” I scream and my head feels light and I collapse on
