~Katarina~

I stare at my mate, rocking our daughter to sleep. It’s been an eventful hour or so, and it has exhausted her. Elder Nadia left some time ago, promising to dig into this incident more. 

I won’t lie and pretend that I’m not scared for my daughter because I am. She seems to be manifesting some powers already, and I’m confused as to why that is. Gold wolves are supposed to get powers until they are marked by their fated mate. I don’t re

    ~Third Person~The door to Deacon’s room flies open, thudding against the wall. Deacon moves into the room and kicks the door, listening to it slam behind him. He tosses Mikayla on the bed, causing her to bounce slightly.Deacon stands at the edge of the bed with his eyes on Mikayla. He takes in all of her features as if he’s trying to memorize her. He wants her, and the lust is evident in his eyes. He moves toward the bed, reaching out to grab Mikayla, but she scoots back. “What’s wrong? Do you not want to do this?”“It isn’t that.” Mikayla sits up with her back against the headboard. She pushes her hair behind her ear and loosely crosses her arms. “I… there’s something I should tell you.” Deacon is immediately nervous. He tentatively sits on the edge of the bed, anxious about what she will tell him.“I’m listening.” Mikayla looks around the room, her nervousness evident. He doesn’t rush her, doesn’t try to push her to talk faster.“Okay, so I know that I’m an Alpha and actively runn

    ~Deacon~As soon as those words slip out of my mouth, she takes a step back and lifts a hand to her neck. WHAT THE FUCK, TY?! WHAT DID YOU DO?!I did what I’m supposed to do. I claimed and marked my mate.WITHOUT HER PERMISSION?! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND?! Ty doesn’t respond and has a look of triumph, as much as a wolf can have any one type of look. I’m practically hyperventilating. My wolf just marked an Alpha female without her permission. It doesn’t matter that she’s my fated mate. This should have been a conversation. Now, we are tied together, and she probably didn’t even want me in the first place. I know that her being marked isn’t permanent. It isn’t like she’s tied to me for life without a way out. She can still reject me and live how she wants. It’s just that a rejection after marking will be much more painful. I would never want to cause her any pain, no matter whether she wants me or not. “You marked me.” Her voice snaps me back to the present. I drop my head, hat

    ~Mikayla~I was grateful that Bruno pulled me out of there when he did. My mind was all over the place, and I knew that I would have trouble keeping it together. I’m a strong woman, but I’m also partly human.My thoughts were all over the place as I changed into workout gear. There’s a part of me that always wanted my fated mate. I wanted to find that perfect match, the perfect person for me. The other part of me knew that a fated mate would be an issue.Too many men can’t handle a woman like me. Too many men want a smaller personality, a smaller person standing beside them. I could never be smaller; I could never be less than. I was always scared that my fated mate wouldn’t want me. Scared that he would take one look at me and reject me. I guess I was right. “Let’s go, cuz.” I sigh and walk out of the room, skipping my socks and shoes.The walk to the training area is silent, and I’m not upset about that. We get there quickly, and I’m kind of mad at myself for missing the journey the

    ~Deacon~I’ve been pacing in the woods for who knows how long now. I didn’t know what to do after leaving the dining room. I just knew that I needed some air.I can’t believe this; I really can’t. I finally find my fated mate, and I won’t even be able to enjoy it. What the hell do I have to offer someone like her? She’s an Alpha for Goddess’ sake, and I’m only a Gamma. I wasn’t even supposed to be a Gamma. I am not of Gamma blood, and I never aspired to be more. I wanted to be a warrior; I wanted to serve my pack. If it hadn’t been for everything that happened with Alpha Aston, I probably would have only been able to become a warrior. When Aston and Katarina were looking for a Gamma, I never thought I’d be a candidate. I didn’t express an interest in becoming more in life. I figured they would find someone they were close to and someone who excelled at fighting. I also figured that Dominic would have a significant say in who was chosen to be the Gamma. I was wrong on all counts, an

    “Good morning, Mikky, Bruno.” Aston’s voice barely breaks me out of my thoughts, but my tongue sours at the name. I’m not trying to be messed up toward my mate, but the name 'Mikky' doesn’t sit well. Also, who the fuck is this ‘Bruno’ character?My emotions are immediately flooded with jealousy. I want to rip that man apart. He’s standing too close to my fated mate, and he seems like he’s too familiar with her. I literally have no idea who he is or what he means to her, but I don’t care. I really want to make him disappear, and I know that Ty feels the same way.They walk over to our table, and every step she takes has me mesmerized. “I told you that I hate when you call me Mikky.” Aston throws his head back and laughs. “I’m Mikayla.” As she looks around the table, her name settles into my bones, and my body vibrates in satisfaction. “Alpha Mikayla Davis.”

    ~Aston~I tighten the towel around my waist and let my dreads down. They’ve grown longer, and I thought about cutting them. Katarina practically had a meltdown when I suggested it. She said I can never change my look so drastically unless I want to make sure that she leaves me forever. I don’t really think she will leave me, but why tempt fate?The door opens, and I hear babbling before I set eyes on them. I turn to find my beautiful mate with our just-as-beautiful daughter in her arms. My heart leaps at the sight of them, but that’s a regular occurrence. “Morning, beautiful ladies.” Skye turns to me and holds her arms out. I slowly walk over to her, never taking my eyes off Katarina. I notice the exact moment that my gaze starts to get to her because a flush moves across her face and her eyes darken. “Good morning, baby girl.” I slowly take Skye from Katarina, making sure to convey my thoughts through my gaze.“Uh

    ~Shawna~My entire world is crashing down around me, and I don’t know how to make it right. I can’t feel my mate, and Sable can’t contact Jett. I’m sure that whatever happened, wolfsbane was involved. I can only hope that my mate is okay, but hoping is just not enough for me.I follow Katarina and

    ~Eddie~My body is thrown on a rickety bed. As I make contact, a cloud of dust floats up, causing me to go into a coughing fit. “I know you were awake.” That's a voice I'd known for most of my life. I don't care how old I get or how long I go without hearing it. It's a voice that has gotten me thro

    ~Topaz~I wish I had that necklace still. There was something about it that irked me but was very familiar. If I could examine it a little more, I could probably figure out where I know it. Damn, I should have taken it with me rather than let that girl have it back.A gold wolf… it’s crazy to think

    ~Aston~It’s been a few days, and I can’t get Katarina off my mind. The evening was perfect, and I was tempted to tell her about our bond so many times. I just couldn’t do it; I couldn’t rock her world that way.It’s crazy, right? Why wouldn’t I just tell her who we are to each other, right? I know
