LOGINI stopped walking.The mountain towered behind us, disappearing into the evening mist. Every instinct inside me begged me to turn around, to climb back to the place where I'd seen her, where I'd seen the city hidden beneath the stone. But I couldn't.If I looked back, I wasn't sure I would ever find the strength to leave.For several minutes neither Gorm nor I spoke. The only sound was the wind weaving through the pine trees and the crunch of our boots against loose rock.Finally, I broke the silence."I know what I'm going to do."Gorm looked at me, waiting."The vision..." I whispered. "It wasn't just a vision. It felt real. The city... it was alive somehow. Not with people exactly, but with purpose. It felt like it was waiting for someone."I could still see the towering stone gates, the glowing crystals, and the woman with eyes so much like my own."The First Priestess said the gate would open when my mate remembered."The words echoed through my mind over and over again."For alm
Kellina's POVThe mountain had never frightened me before.It should have.Its jagged cliffs reached into the gray sky like the claws of some ancient beast waiting to drag unsuspecting wolves into its mouth. Fog wrapped itself around the rocky peaks, swallowing entire sections until they disappeared from sight. Even after almost two years, I had avoided climbing it.Today felt different.My dream would not leave me alone.I had seen Rogan standing there.Not clearly.Just enough to know he had been looking toward me.His hand had reached forward before crimson mist swallowed him whole.I couldn't shake the feeling that it hadn't simply been another dream.It had felt...Real."So," Gorm said, stretching his arms behind his head as though we were simply taking a pleasant afternoon stroll. "We're climbing the creepy death mountain."I glanced sideways at him."You don't have to come."He snorted."And let you wander into whatever fresh disaster you've managed to attract today?"I rolled
The cold air hit my face and felt like a knife going over my cheeks. I inhaled the deep breath of the cold and let the piercing cold into my lungs. The coldness of the mountain air and the weather outside hurt my insides but it also let me know I was still alive, still breathing whether I wanted to or not. It still felt better than the hollow pain inside that ached throughout my body every day. I listened to the noises of the mountain now and heard the howling of coyotes, wolves far away, and the night silencing the cackling laughter I kept hearing in my sleep. I looked up to the moon as it continued to grow each and every day and prayed to the moon goddess that this pain would be silenced even just a little. I stared into her glow and felt her light shin down on me but still the pain, the numbness, and the vision of watching my mate kiss the woman who had taken every piece of me that was left then heard her cackling after like the witch she is. Weeks had gone by and still nothin
“Fuck man going easy on me!” Erin bellowed as I plummeted to the ground in the sparring room for the 100th time today. I reached my hand out to help him back up. “Sorry just trying to take out some of my frustration.” I mumbled out. “Damn I know man, I know but remember I’m the one who should be pissed at you.” I glared at him quickly and he laughed. “Sorry I know shit is weird with what my mate being the fucking evil Alpha from hell and your mate well nowhere to be found.” As soon as he said it I felt the rage in me again and I punched the punching bag nearby so hard it flew into the wall behind it. I turned to see Erin’s eyes wide open again. “Shit Sorry.” I mumbled again. “So, uh maybe we should talk about it instead of me letting you kick my ass for the last couple weeks,” he said quietly and hopeful. I turned to him and took this brown-haired fool in. Erin was the only one who believed me that I was myself again. I couldn’t get anyone to really trust me except for my li
“He kissed her! He fucking kissed her!” I kept yelling in my brain as I raced up the stairs. I needed Rollo, I needed the Alpha and I was going to end this. I arrived at the door of the Alpha’s office and told the guard I needed the Alpha now, not a moment later Rollo arrived throwing his shirt on quickly. “Kellina my dear what is it? You don’t look okay?” Rollo checked me over and I knew he could see the bruises on my arm which out of just wanting to avoid the conversation I put my hands behind my back. “Rollo I need to talk to the Alpha now and need Corgan there.” “Corgan, what?” He questioned me but then stopped. “Okay, whatever you need my sweet girl.” He then turned to the guard. “You heard him go get Corgan now!” He barked and the guard jumped racing up the stairs. At that moment the door opened up and the Alpha stood there, “What the fuck is going on?” “I need to talk to you about the deal we made now please and” I turned to Rollo, “I need to make sur
The door creaked open and inside was the same setup as was in my previous cell. I could feel Kellina beside me breathing so heavily I was worried she would hyperventilate but when I turned to her she took a deep breath and then gave me the blankest smile. I knew it wasn’t real but she was there standing beside me as she always had. Part of me wanted to tell her everything right now that the kiss we had shared had filled in a thousand gaps in my memory and I knew now she was my mate but I couldn’t just yet because of the hold Athena had on me had to be released before I could even begin again with the beautiful white wolf with burgundy tangles of hair intertwined. I heard my wolf in my head. Mine it said and only that. I knew what my wolf wanted and so did I but the burning in my flesh from the fake mark Athena had given me had to be released because my whole self felt as if it would explode at any moment. I then turned to Athena’s true mate Erin and I couldn’t help but think ho
We set off quickly after the tense moment and went out of the doors of the very large pack house. I turned around to look at it and really it looked more like a large compound and became more of that in my mind as we took the road walking towards a smaller entrance. There was a garage for heavy-d
I tried to ignore the hard erection I got just by the way she had looked at me. I could feel her being turned on and smelled it just as much. By the time I made it to the bathroom, I was so fucking hard it was throbbing. I could not hold in the growl and hoped she and the other pack members who
“Kellina, I don’t think we can do this much more.” The Alpha couldn’t even look me in the eye as he spoke. “I don’t know who that man in there is.” He motioned to the room where Rogan was held. “I mean he turned wolf on his damn mother and what is worst is she would have let him kill her.” I c
I watched quietly listening to all the anxious breathing of Athena as Kellina approached the elderly woman and bowed to her in respect. Kellina was excellent at being proper and respectful likely from the many years of treatment she got from that fucking other white priestess Hannah who tried to ma
