636,743	/src/Template/Ads/index.ctp (line 281) null	No	2024-03-21 16:33	active	300	1098331618108757	Read the Full Version👉	"He's dead," I declared with a huff when the last pack entered the clearing.<br /> <br /> I could practically hear my mother roll her eyes next to me as she flicked me behind the ear, "Be quiet Tate."<br /> <br /> I grumbled under my breath as I watched all the unmated wolves run into the arms of their newly discovered mates.<br /> <br /> Honestly, my mate was as good as dead.<br /> <br /> As everyone gathered around in their own little groups, my mother finally turned to me with a sad smile.<br /> <br /> "He's not dead... he's just not here yet," She suggested as she shrugged.<br /> <br /> "Mom, I love you, but you and I both know you're wrong."<br /> <br /> Today's our annual Mate Meet-Up. Wolves usually meet their mates at sixteen and most of the time their mate is in the same pack. The others usually find their mates in neighbouring packs. Therefore, the Alphas of the four closest pack to our territory all meet up with their unmated wolves so they'll be able to find their match.<br /> <br /> Most of the time, everyone who had yet to find their mate does. However, there were a few that didn't.<br /> <br /> I, of course, landed in that niiche as I have not found my mate yet. This leads me to believe that my non-existent mate is either dead, a rogue wolf, or simply does not exist.<br /> <br /> I'm going with the first since I was a few weeks shy of being eighteen and Mr. Mate still had not shown up.<br /> <br /> "Listen to me," My mom grabbed my shoulder and looked me in the eye, "mates are nice...sure. But you're Tate Blackwood, Alpha's daughter, and warrior extraordinaire. To be honest, I don't know any wolf that'll be able to balance you out."<br /> <br /> "So cheesy," I said as I wiggled my nose, but she just flicked my ear again.<br /> <br /> My mom, Anne, could always make me smile, no matter what.<br /> <br /> "Let me rephrase," I smiled as her eyes narrowed on me. "Very wise words mom. Thank you for being my Yoda."<br /> <br /> That made her laugh because she loatthed Star Wars. Giving me a warm embrace, she made me feel a lot better.<br /> <br /> Mom's hugs were the best. I don't know what I'd do without them.<br /> <br /> "How about you go mingle with your friends while I go help Emery with Luna duties," She suggested, and I nodded as she walked away.<br /> <br /> As I stood looking around the clearing, I watched as my friends and fellow pack members all fawned over their mates and received an equal amount of affection in return.<br /> <br /> It's not that I necessarily wanted a mate...I just wanted to know what it felt like. That bond. The connection. The deep emotional connections formed by some magical powers that were bigger than us all.<br /> <br /> I was curious about it because it wasn't something I could feel or tovch. The only way I could see these strings connecting two souls was through the people around me. My parents and my brother with his mate. Watching them was like watching the most beautiful and most amazing love story unfold before your eyes.<br /> <br /> My parents were as much as in love as they were when I was a child. I'd always assumed that because your mate is your one true love, that you'd instantly fall in love. The superficial notion that one would feel that much passion within a second of meeting someone always made me loatth the concept.<br /> <br /> But that all changed when I witnessed my brother and his mate, Emery. Their story of falling in love was something else entirely. They certainly weren't 'love at first sight' with Emery hating Thane's gvts and Thane refusing to tell her his secrets.<br /> <br /> They fought for it though. Their love was built by them but strengthened by the mate bond.<br /> <br /> That was what I wanted.<br /> <br /> Not a superficial fairy-tale but a roaring fire of passion.<br /> <br /> To be in love instead of loved.<br /> <br /> To experience the thing that was as invisible as air but as necessary as oxygen.<br /> <br /> Just as I started marching out of the clearing, as I'm not needed there anymore, Bailey, the Beta's mate, stopped me in my tracks.<br /> <br /> "Hey, where are you headed off to?" She questioned.<br /> <br /> "To pack on a few pounds in whatever dessert's brewing in the kitchen," I grinned, and she shook her head knowing that was a given.<br /> <br /> "Fine, but while you're there make sure and help out the pack in preparing the guest rooms for the other packs."<br /> <br /> I saluted her and started to trail off again before she grabbed my hand, "And Tate, don't wander off alone."<br /> <br /> Before I could ask, she switched over to her mind link since we were in a field of werewolves, most of who weren't our pack members.<br /> <br /> 'The Alpha of the Oaks Pack hasn't shown up yet, but his Beta said he's expected to arrive soon, so be careful.'<br /> <br /> 'Right Alpha Di-ckhead,' I said in apprehension and she smirked because she created the nickname.<br /> <br /> Alpha Dic-khead, more formally known as Alpha Aiden Oaks was the ruthless, calllous, dangerous, and mate-less Alpha. The one who just so happened to be on a hunt for a Luna.<br /> <br /> He usually skips these meetings and sends his Beta, Rick, in his place but this year, the innfamous Alpha of the Oaks pack has decided to join in the festivities.<br /> <br /> The reason being, he was finally in search of a mate to strengthen his pack.<br /> <br /> An Alpha wasn't an Alpha without a Luna to lead by his side. Two figures leading the pack always made them stronger. But with Alpha Aiden being the arrogant narciissist everyone proclaims him to be, I see why wanting a Luna is of use to him.<br /> <br /> Not because he wants one, but because it will just give him more power. But he hasn't found his true mate yet at the age of twenty-one.<br /> <br /> I mean, sure the Alpha can mate with any other wolf if he doesn't find his mate, but the pack would only be strengthened if the Luna was a true born Luna. This meant that she or he had to be an unmarked mate of an Alpha or an Alpha born male or female. That's the only way he'll be able to reinforce the power and strength of his pack.<br /> <br /> And that's where the Luna of my pack comes in.<br /> <br /> My brother, Thane, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, met his mate Emery a few months back. She's human so they've been moving slow and haven't mated yet nor has Thane marked her. This puts her in the face of danger since Alpha Aiden can challenge my brother for the pack, kill him, and then claiim Emery. Or he can simply kiidnap her and mark her before my brother does.<br /> <br /> Twisted, I know, but apparently, Alpha D-ickhead didn't give a flying f-vc about who he must kill to get what he wants. His main concern was finding a mate and Emery was the only Luna not marrked which made her a prime target. So, until Alpha Aiden showed up and we had eyes on him, all of us were on high alert.<br /> <br /> Was I worried? Hecck yes.<br /> <br /> Alpha Aiden fought diirty, won quickly, and didn't show remorse. I'd be an idiiot to not be apprehensive about him, especially since he wanted something that didn't belong to him.<br /> <br /> My brother Thane was strong but I'm afraid he didn't have the prerequisite of being a crazy killing batstarrd. Now that would have worked out in his favour if Alpha Aiden did decide to challenge him.<br /> <br /> Worst yet, I feared for his mate Emery.<br /> <br /> Since she's human, there's no way she could defend herself against a werewolf, it was physically impossible.<br /> <br /> If something went down, the plan was simple. Take Emery and run for the hills as I was one of the fastest wolves in my pack.<br /> <br /> As I made my way back to our packhouse, I sighed in frustration at the possible sihit show that could go down between now and the next few hours.<br /> <br /> But we couldn't do anything until Aiden arrived, so I followed my nose directly to the kitchen. I greeted some of the pack members in there who were preparing a big meal for our guests since they're staying here for the next two days.<br /> <br /> Instead of offering help, I grabbed a plate of cookies and a soda to induce a diabetic coma by way of sugary goodness. One hundred percent don't recommend unless you're a werewolf and can't get diabetes.<br /> <br /> Just as I plopped myself onto the soft recliner in the living room, snuggled deep into the soft material, popped open my can of soda, and brought a warm cookie to my mouth, my brother's voice echoed through my mind link.<br /> <br /> 'Where is she?! Where's Emery?'<br /> <br /> His Alpha tone made it exceedingly clear what was about to go down.<br /> <br /> "Oh sihit," I cursed as I scrambled to my feet.<br /> <br /> Soda can knocked over, cookie crumbs laying on the floor and my comfy seat long forgotten, I sprinted towards the front door just as Thane busted in.<br /> <br /> His enraged expression warned everyone to back up as he fumed.<br /> <br /> "What happened?" I questioned.<br /> <br /> His eyes were wild as he sniffed the air, "Emery came here looking for you but I can't smell her. Her scent's not here! Where is she, Tate?"<br /> <br /> Panic gripped my insides as I shook my head, "She hasn't been to the packhouse."<br /> <br /> The fear that overtook his face was one I never thought I'd see on his usually relaxed and controlled features.<br /> <br /> Without another word we all rushed outside and tried to find her scent.<br /> <br /> But like a ghsost, she disappeared without a trail. <br /> <br /> An hour later and we still hadn't found her.<br /> <br /> No trail, no scent, no Emery.<br /> <br /> According to Thane, she was on her way to the packhouse, but her scent lingered past the house and towards a small trail leading to the forest. It disappeared beyond that point and now everyone was on the hunt for her.<br /> <br /> 'Tate, go back to the house. If Emery turns up, I want you to take her to the human town. Jane would make sure you get in unnoticed,' Thane mind linked me as and the others ran further into the forest.<br /> <br /> The human town of Fairbairn was where Emery used to live but since she's considered a missing person there, it would be dangerous if she turned up. If the humans knew she was still alive, it would risk the secret of werewolves. She couldn't exactly tell them the mythical beast they've been hunting for centuries was a werewolf who's her soulmate. They'd probably lock her up in a mental institute. Hence the reason why my great-aunt, Jane, who lived there would be able to sneak us in.<br /> <br /> Heeding my brother's words, I ran back towards the house in my wolf form. The cool evening air brushed through my dark grey fur and my paws sank into the warm earth below me. Running in the woods was an indescribable feeling. A sudden rush of endorphins.<br /> <br /> But the fear of the unknown sank its claws into my happy state of mind and left my insides feeling like blocks of ice. This only triggered an undeniable pain in my chsest which was an after effect from a wound I sustained a few months back.<br /> <br /> I was on the brink of death that day, but Emery saved my life. Which is why I owe her my life and my time to ensure we find her now.<br /> <br /> As for my severe chsest pains, it happens every once in a while, which was something I have to live with. According to the pack doctor, nothing's wrong per se, but the pain wasn't right either.<br /> <br /> Shifting behind the packhouse, I hunched over as I breathed through the pain as it sent riipples of pain through my upper torrso. They don't usually last more than five minutes, which I'm grateful for as I pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt stashed in a hollow out tree.<br /> <br /> Before I could go inside, however, I heard shouting coming from the clearing where everyone was gathered. My chsest eased as I briskly walked in the direction of the drama.<br /> <br /> Breaking through the trees and into the clearing, I saw Beta Lucas holding a man to the ground and yelling in his face.<br /> <br /> "Where the hel is she? Tell me!" He shouted as he lifted the man's shoulders and sllammed him back into the ground.<br /> <br /> My eyes picked up the angry wolves from Alpha Aiden's pack who were growling lowly at Lucas. As I neared the men, I realized it was Rick, Aiden's Beta, who was currently being knocked around by Lucas.<br /> <br /> "As I told you already, I don't know what you're talking about. Let me up man, before I report you to your Alpha," Rick seethed.<br /> <br /> "Whose orders do you think I'm under? You're honestly lucky it isn't Alpha Thane or else you'd be dead by now."<br /> <br /> Rick narrowed his eyes at him, "Is this how your pack treats guests? By threatening them after they've been civil?"<br /> <br /> "If you answer the question, I won't have to threaten you."<br /> <br /> "You're forgetting that I don't know what the hel you're on about."<br /> <br /> Lucas attacked the man again, but this time with a fist to his cheek, "Your Alpha kidnapped our Luna. Tell me where they are, now wolf!"<br /> <br /> "I told you, we don't know. And trust me you'll know when my Alpha arrives," Rick spat some blood out from his busted lip.<br /> <br /> "You little-"<br /> <br /> "Wait!" I grabbed Lucas's wriist before he punched Rick.<br /> <br /> They both turned to me. While Rick was taken aback by my involvement, Lucas was fuming in anger.<br /> <br /> "Tate, what the hel are you doing?" Bailey, Lucas's mate, queried.<br /> <br /> "Prevent Lucas from sending us into a war," I grumbled, and they all seemed rather confused. "Geez guys, think about it for a second. Why would Alpha Aiden leave his Beta and pack members here at the mercy of our hands while he kiidnaps Emery? It doesn't make sense because he would and should know that we'd kill them for that. Would he really let his Beta die for this?"<br /> <br /> When everyone lifted their eyebrows at my contradiction against our Beta, I realized it may not have been as obvious as I assumed.<br /> <br /> "Look, I'm not saying they're to be trusted, but I don't think he'd leave his second in command to die just to get a mate." My eyes flickered to Rick, "Would he?"<br /> <br /> "He wouldn't," He answered before turning to Lucas. "From one Beta to another, would your Alpha leave you to get murrdered by a lesser pack?"<br /> <br /> Lucas stole his hand away from my hold and punched Rick again.<br /> <br /> "Jesvs dvde, shut your Jell-O hole would you!" I said exasperated by his stvpiidity.<br /> <br /> He chuckled but held his hands up in surrender, "Okay fine, I concede. But you know she's right. My Alpha doesn't have your precious Luna."<br /> <br /> Carson, my father, stepped in and placed his hand on Lucas's shoulder, "Tate is right, I don't think he knows what happened to Emery. Let him up and go help Thane track her down."<br /> <br /> He nodded and headed off towards the forest.<br /> <br /> I gave Rick my hand and helped him up from the ground as he gave me a thankful smile.<br /> <br /> Before he could pull away, I tightened my hold on his hand and lowered my voice to a deadly tone, "If you're lying and take my trust for granted-"<br /> <br /> "I'm not and I won't. You have my word."<br /> <br /> "It means very little to me," I said as I dropped his hand and backed up as he nodded.<br /> <br /> "While we're not going to kill you right now," My dad started, "it doesn't mean your pack is free. I must insist that we keep you in our packhouse until we find our Luna or your Alpha. It's either that or our Crypt."<br /> <br /> Rick wiped some blood off the cut of his cheek as he agreed, "My Alpha's innocent but lead the way I guess."<br /> <br /> "You're Alpha doesn't exactly have a clean track record," I noted, and he smirked.<br /> <br /> "That he does not, which is why I won't kill your Beta for putting his hands on me."<br /> <br /> A few of my pack members growled at his words and I cut him a look, "You really need to learn to shut up dvde."<br /> <br /> "Forgive me..." He trailed off as he waited for my name.<br /> <br /> "Tate," I answered.<br /> <br /> His brow rose, "You're Alpha Thane's little sister."<br /> <br /> I narrowed my eyes at him, "Very strong and fast sister, yes."<br /> <br /> Sure, I was Thane's little sister but that shouldn't overshadow the fact that I could kick his a-ss.<br /> <br /> Not Thane's sister or Carson's daughter. Just Tate; destroyer of rogues and master of bad luck.<br /> <br /> Has a ring to it doesn't it?<br /> <br /> "Come on, I'll show you to the packhouse," I gestured to him and his pack before turning to my father. "I got it over here, you can go help with the search."<br /> <br /> Taking orders like a champ, he went off as I escorted Rick and the other wolves of his pack back to the house.<br /> <br /> "I must ask," Rick started, "why did you help me?"<br /> <br /> "As I said, I was trying to prevent a much bigger problem as I don't believe your Alpha took my Luna just yet," I threw him a questioning look.<br /> <br /> "Good call," He nodded approvingly.<br /> <br /> "Well, I for one am not in a mood for a war with your pack."<br /> <br /> Then I stood before the members of the Oaks pack and announced, "Welcome to the packhouse. Your pack will be staying in the left hall on the second floor and your bags are already there. Until we find our Luna, everyone's required to stay in here. I assure you, if you break our one rule, my Alpha won't take kindly to it."<br /> <br /> A few snarled at my threat but Beta Rick snapped them into line with one look before they all nodded and dispersed around the house.<br /> <br /> "I hope I can trust that you ensure they stay in the house?" I asked Rick as I watched the foyer clear out.<br /> <br /> "Trust me, Aiden would chew them out if they get themselves thrown in your pack's Crypt. Plus, he keeps everyone in line, so they know when to follow rules. Considering how much they've all been working back home they're probably happy to stay indoors for a few days," Rick answered.<br /> <br /> "Isn't your pack the largest in the country? Would you all not have shifts that are far between?" I asked with sudden curiosity.<br /> <br /> His eyes were shielded, and I knew pack business wasn't something he was about to discuss with an outsider.<br /> <br /> "It's complicated," he finally said. "I think I'll go join the others in the game room."<br /> <br /> And just like that, the conversation ended abruptly.<br /> <br /> "Of course, let me know if your pack needs anything," I said as curiosity burned through me.<br /> <br /> He nodded with secrets hidden behind his eyes as he walked away.<br /> <br /> Something was up with their pack, that was pretty obvious. But from everything I know they don't have any issues aside from missing a Luna.<br /> <br /> But what if the sudden need for a Luna was connected to what's happening behind the scenes?<br /> <br /> The only information I know about their pack is that it's settled deep in a forest nestled by thousands of old oak trees, hence their pack name, and there aren't many rogues around, so they don't have issues with wild wolves. I also knew for a fact that their pack had at least a thousand wolves so even if there were rogues, it wouldn't be an issue.<br /> <br /> Was it none of my god dann business? Of course.<br /> <br /> Was I still going to figure it out? Mhmm.<br /> <br /> There's a link with needing a Luna to make their pack stronger and whatever's going on, that's as far as I've got.<br /> <br /> Well as far as I've assumed. Unless of course Alpha Dic-khead really is a condescending leader and just wants more power. But if they really do plan on taking Emery, this could be vital knowledge.<br /> <br /> I may not be a conversationalist, but I am good at observing.<br /> <br /> You'll be surprised at how easily anyone will diivulge their deepest darkest secrets when they think no one's looking. It could be a jagged breath, a nervous laugh, a moment forgotten to blink, or a hesitated answer. The key was to listen more than you speak. Talkers always tell more than they hide.<br /> <br /> If only I could get some blackmail material. Just enough to make a difference to prevent Alpha Aiden from taking Emery.<br /> <br /> As I stepped towards the living room where most of the Oaks pack trailed off into, I heard a loud commotion in the backyard. I went on high alert as I took a detour and I stalked down the long hallway.<br /> <br /> Halfway to the back door, I caught the scent of sea-washed mahogany and fresh waterfall. The calmness that spread through me felt exceedingly foreign in my body but oddly fitting. It was as if a missing piece of me that was stolen all my life was finally returned.<br /> <br /> The scents drove my mind to a picturesque coast with sky blue waters and sugar brown sand. It didn't go unnoticed that I'd never been to a beach before but somehow knew what it would feel like.<br /> <br /> My feet moved as my mind entered a hazy, almost opiate state, and I shuffled hurriedly at the door knowing the scent meant one thing.<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> My mate.<br /> <br /> My presumably dead mate.<br /> <br /> Well, living mate now.<br /> <br /> Fumbling with the handle, my palms became sweaty as I felt nerves rushed through my body and caused my heart to thud in my chsest like a thunderstorm.<br /> <br /> I closed my eyes, sucked in a breath, and count to three before grabbing hold of my distorted mind.<br /> <br /> Rubbing my sweaty palms on my jeans, I grabbed the handle one more time and pushed the door open as the scent hit me with its full force.<br /> <br /> My eyes fell on the man standing in the backyard with my brother, Emery and Lucas.<br /> <br /> His ocean eyes snapped towards me as I nearly stumbled down the steps.<br /> <br /> His dirty blonde hair, however, was a dead giveaway of who he was.<br /> <br /> Alpha D-ickhead.<br /> <br /> Alpha Dii-ckhead is my mate.<br /> <br /> I felt my breath catch in my throat. My mind was definitely playing tricks on me as it showed me the man who was supposedly my mate.<br /> <br /> Pounding my chsest and letting out a sound that could only be described as a squaawk from a dying dvck, I gaped at him.<br /> <br /> "Mate," He whispered, and I caught the deep timbre of his voice.<br /> <br /> Aiden.<br /> <br /> Alpha Aiden.<br /> <br /> The Alpha of the Oaks Pack.<br /> <br /> He's my mate.<br /> <br /> The Alpha who's known for killing people if they hover around him too long. The friicking Alpha who planned on kiidnapping my brother's mate if he didn't find his own.<br /> <br /> Who wanted a mate? I did. Who got a mate? I did. Who got an eviil mate? Ding-ding-ding ladies and gents...

636,991	/src/Template/Ads/index.ctp (line 281) null	No	2024-03-21 16:33	active	300	1130833244604251	Read the Full Version👉	"He's dead," I declared with a huff when the last pack entered the clearing.<br /> <br /> I could practically hear my mother roll her eyes next to me as she flicked me behind the ear, "Be quiet Tate."<br /> <br /> I grumbled under my breath as I watched all the unmated wolves run into the arms of their newly discovered mates.<br /> <br /> Honestly, my mate was as good as dead.<br /> <br /> As everyone gathered around in their own little groups, my mother finally turned to me with a sad smile.<br /> <br /> "He's not dead... he's just not here yet," She suggested as she shrugged.<br /> <br /> "Mom, I love you, but you and I both know you're wrong."<br /> <br /> Today's our annual Mate Meet-Up. Wolves usually meet their mates at sixteen and most of the time their mate is in the same pack. The others usually find their mates in neighbouring packs. Therefore, the Alphas of the four closest pack to our territory all meet up with their unmated wolves so they'll be able to find their match.<br /> <br /> Most of the time, everyone who had yet to find their mate does. However, there were a few that didn't.<br /> <br /> I, of course, landed in that niiche as I have not found my mate yet. This leads me to believe that my non-existent mate is either dead, a rogue wolf, or simply does not exist.<br /> <br /> I'm going with the first since I was a few weeks shy of being eighteen and Mr. Mate still had not shown up.<br /> <br /> "Listen to me," My mom grabbed my shoulder and looked me in the eye, "mates are nice...sure. But you're Tate Blackwood, Alpha's daughter, and warrior extraordinaire. To be honest, I don't know any wolf that'll be able to balance you out."<br /> <br /> "So cheesy," I said as I wiggled my nose, but she just flicked my ear again.<br /> <br /> My mom, Anne, could always make me smile, no matter what.<br /> <br /> "Let me rephrase," I smiled as her eyes narrowed on me. "Very wise words mom. Thank you for being my Yoda."<br /> <br /> That made her laugh because she loatthed Star Wars. Giving me a warm embrace, she made me feel a lot better.<br /> <br /> Mom's hugs were the best. I don't know what I'd do without them.<br /> <br /> "How about you go mingle with your friends while I go help Emery with Luna duties," She suggested, and I nodded as she walked away.<br /> <br /> As I stood looking around the clearing, I watched as my friends and fellow pack members all fawned over their mates and received an equal amount of affection in return.<br /> <br /> It's not that I necessarily wanted a mate...I just wanted to know what it felt like. That bond. The connection. The deep emotional connections formed by some magical powers that were bigger than us all.<br /> <br /> I was curious about it because it wasn't something I could feel or tovch. The only way I could see these strings connecting two souls was through the people around me. My parents and my brother with his mate. Watching them was like watching the most beautiful and most amazing love story unfold before your eyes.<br /> <br /> My parents were as much as in love as they were when I was a child. I'd always assumed that because your mate is your one true love, that you'd instantly fall in love. The superficial notion that one would feel that much passion within a second of meeting someone always made me loatth the concept.<br /> <br /> But that all changed when I witnessed my brother and his mate, Emery. Their story of falling in love was something else entirely. They certainly weren't 'love at first sight' with Emery hating Thane's gvts and Thane refusing to tell her his secrets.<br /> <br /> They fought for it though. Their love was built by them but strengthened by the mate bond.<br /> <br /> That was what I wanted.<br /> <br /> Not a superficial fairy-tale but a roaring fire of passion.<br /> <br /> To be in love instead of loved.<br /> <br /> To experience the thing that was as invisible as air but as necessary as oxygen.<br /> <br /> Just as I started marching out of the clearing, as I'm not needed there anymore, Bailey, the Beta's mate, stopped me in my tracks.<br /> <br /> "Hey, where are you headed off to?" She questioned.<br /> <br /> "To pack on a few pounds in whatever dessert's brewing in the kitchen," I grinned, and she shook her head knowing that was a given.<br /> <br /> "Fine, but while you're there make sure and help out the pack in preparing the guest rooms for the other packs."<br /> <br /> I saluted her and started to trail off again before she grabbed my hand, "And Tate, don't wander off alone."<br /> <br /> Before I could ask, she switched over to her mind link since we were in a field of werewolves, most of who weren't our pack members.<br /> <br /> 'The Alpha of the Oaks Pack hasn't shown up yet, but his Beta said he's expected to arrive soon, so be careful.'<br /> <br /> 'Right Alpha Di-ckhead,' I said in apprehension and she smirked because she created the nickname.<br /> <br /> Alpha Dic-khead, more formally known as Alpha Aiden Oaks was the ruthless, calllous, dangerous, and mate-less Alpha. The one who just so happened to be on a hunt for a Luna.<br /> <br /> He usually skips these meetings and sends his Beta, Rick, in his place but this year, the innfamous Alpha of the Oaks pack has decided to join in the festivities.<br /> <br /> The reason being, he was finally in search of a mate to strengthen his pack.<br /> <br /> An Alpha wasn't an Alpha without a Luna to lead by his side. Two figures leading the pack always made them stronger. But with Alpha Aiden being the arrogant narciissist everyone proclaims him to be, I see why wanting a Luna is of use to him.<br /> <br /> Not because he wants one, but because it will just give him more power. But he hasn't found his true mate yet at the age of twenty-one.<br /> <br /> I mean, sure the Alpha can mate with any other wolf if he doesn't find his mate, but the pack would only be strengthened if the Luna was a true born Luna. This meant that she or he had to be an unmarked mate of an Alpha or an Alpha born male or female. That's the only way he'll be able to reinforce the power and strength of his pack.<br /> <br /> And that's where the Luna of my pack comes in.<br /> <br /> My brother, Thane, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, met his mate Emery a few months back. She's human so they've been moving slow and haven't mated yet nor has Thane marked her. This puts her in the face of danger since Alpha Aiden can challenge my brother for the pack, kill him, and then claiim Emery. Or he can simply kiidnap her and mark her before my brother does.<br /> <br /> Twisted, I know, but apparently, Alpha D-ickhead didn't give a flying f-vc about who he must kill to get what he wants. His main concern was finding a mate and Emery was the only Luna not marrked which made her a prime target. So, until Alpha Aiden showed up and we had eyes on him, all of us were on high alert.<br /> <br /> Was I worried? Hecck yes.<br /> <br /> Alpha Aiden fought diirty, won quickly, and didn't show remorse. I'd be an idiiot to not be apprehensive about him, especially since he wanted something that didn't belong to him.<br /> <br /> My brother Thane was strong but I'm afraid he didn't have the prerequisite of being a crazy killing batstarrd. Now that would have worked out in his favour if Alpha Aiden did decide to challenge him.<br /> <br /> Worst yet, I feared for his mate Emery.<br /> <br /> Since she's human, there's no way she could defend herself against a werewolf, it was physically impossible.<br /> <br /> If something went down, the plan was simple. Take Emery and run for the hills as I was one of the fastest wolves in my pack.<br /> <br /> As I made my way back to our packhouse, I sighed in frustration at the possible sihit show that could go down between now and the next few hours.<br /> <br /> But we couldn't do anything until Aiden arrived, so I followed my nose directly to the kitchen. I greeted some of the pack members in there who were preparing a big meal for our guests since they're staying here for the next two days.<br /> <br /> Instead of offering help, I grabbed a plate of cookies and a soda to induce a diabetic coma by way of sugary goodness. One hundred percent don't recommend unless you're a werewolf and can't get diabetes.<br /> <br /> Just as I plopped myself onto the soft recliner in the living room, snuggled deep into the soft material, popped open my can of soda, and brought a warm cookie to my mouth, my brother's voice echoed through my mind link.<br /> <br /> 'Where is she?! Where's Emery?'<br /> <br /> His Alpha tone made it exceedingly clear what was about to go down.<br /> <br /> "Oh sihit," I cursed as I scrambled to my feet.<br /> <br /> Soda can knocked over, cookie crumbs laying on the floor and my comfy seat long forgotten, I sprinted towards the front door just as Thane busted in.<br /> <br /> His enraged expression warned everyone to back up as he fumed.<br /> <br /> "What happened?" I questioned.<br /> <br /> His eyes were wild as he sniffed the air, "Emery came here looking for you but I can't smell her. Her scent's not here! Where is she, Tate?"<br /> <br /> Panic gripped my insides as I shook my head, "She hasn't been to the packhouse."<br /> <br /> The fear that overtook his face was one I never thought I'd see on his usually relaxed and controlled features.<br /> <br /> Without another word we all rushed outside and tried to find her scent.<br /> <br /> But like a ghsost, she disappeared without a trail. <br /> <br /> An hour later and we still hadn't found her.<br /> <br /> No trail, no scent, no Emery.<br /> <br /> According to Thane, she was on her way to the packhouse, but her scent lingered past the house and towards a small trail leading to the forest. It disappeared beyond that point and now everyone was on the hunt for her.<br /> <br /> 'Tate, go back to the house. If Emery turns up, I want you to take her to the human town. Jane would make sure you get in unnoticed,' Thane mind linked me as and the others ran further into the forest.<br /> <br /> The human town of Fairbairn was where Emery used to live but since she's considered a missing person there, it would be dangerous if she turned up. If the humans knew she was still alive, it would risk the secret of werewolves. She couldn't exactly tell them the mythical beast they've been hunting for centuries was a werewolf who's her soulmate. They'd probably lock her up in a mental institute. Hence the reason why my great-aunt, Jane, who lived there would be able to sneak us in.<br /> <br /> Heeding my brother's words, I ran back towards the house in my wolf form. The cool evening air brushed through my dark grey fur and my paws sank into the warm earth below me. Running in the woods was an indescribable feeling. A sudden rush of endorphins.<br /> <br /> But the fear of the unknown sank its claws into my happy state of mind and left my insides feeling like blocks of ice. This only triggered an undeniable pain in my chsest which was an after effect from a wound I sustained a few months back.<br /> <br /> I was on the brink of death that day, but Emery saved my life. Which is why I owe her my life and my time to ensure we find her now.<br /> <br /> As for my severe chsest pains, it happens every once in a while, which was something I have to live with. According to the pack doctor, nothing's wrong per se, but the pain wasn't right either.<br /> <br /> Shifting behind the packhouse, I hunched over as I breathed through the pain as it sent riipples of pain through my upper torrso. They don't usually last more than five minutes, which I'm grateful for as I pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt stashed in a hollow out tree.<br /> <br /> Before I could go inside, however, I heard shouting coming from the clearing where everyone was gathered. My chsest eased as I briskly walked in the direction of the drama.<br /> <br /> Breaking through the trees and into the clearing, I saw Beta Lucas holding a man to the ground and yelling in his face.<br /> <br /> "Where the hel is she? Tell me!" He shouted as he lifted the man's shoulders and sllammed him back into the ground.<br /> <br /> My eyes picked up the angry wolves from Alpha Aiden's pack who were growling lowly at Lucas. As I neared the men, I realized it was Rick, Aiden's Beta, who was currently being knocked around by Lucas.<br /> <br /> "As I told you already, I don't know what you're talking about. Let me up man, before I report you to your Alpha," Rick seethed.<br /> <br /> "Whose orders do you think I'm under? You're honestly lucky it isn't Alpha Thane or else you'd be dead by now."<br /> <br /> Rick narrowed his eyes at him, "Is this how your pack treats guests? By threatening them after they've been civil?"<br /> <br /> "If you answer the question, I won't have to threaten you."<br /> <br /> "You're forgetting that I don't know what the hel you're on about."<br /> <br /> Lucas attacked the man again, but this time with a fist to his cheek, "Your Alpha kidnapped our Luna. Tell me where they are, now wolf!"<br /> <br /> "I told you, we don't know. And trust me you'll know when my Alpha arrives," Rick spat some blood out from his busted lip.<br /> <br /> "You little-"<br /> <br /> "Wait!" I grabbed Lucas's wriist before he punched Rick.<br /> <br /> They both turned to me. While Rick was taken aback by my involvement, Lucas was fuming in anger.<br /> <br /> "Tate, what the hel are you doing?" Bailey, Lucas's mate, queried.<br /> <br /> "Prevent Lucas from sending us into a war," I grumbled, and they all seemed rather confused. "Geez guys, think about it for a second. Why would Alpha Aiden leave his Beta and pack members here at the mercy of our hands while he kiidnaps Emery? It doesn't make sense because he would and should know that we'd kill them for that. Would he really let his Beta die for this?"<br /> <br /> When everyone lifted their eyebrows at my contradiction against our Beta, I realized it may not have been as obvious as I assumed.<br /> <br /> "Look, I'm not saying they're to be trusted, but I don't think he'd leave his second in command to die just to get a mate." My eyes flickered to Rick, "Would he?"<br /> <br /> "He wouldn't," He answered before turning to Lucas. "From one Beta to another, would your Alpha leave you to get murrdered by a lesser pack?"<br /> <br /> Lucas stole his hand away from my hold and punched Rick again.<br /> <br /> "Jesvs dvde, shut your Jell-O hole would you!" I said exasperated by his stvpiidity.<br /> <br /> He chuckled but held his hands up in surrender, "Okay fine, I concede. But you know she's right. My Alpha doesn't have your precious Luna."<br /> <br /> Carson, my father, stepped in and placed his hand on Lucas's shoulder, "Tate is right, I don't think he knows what happened to Emery. Let him up and go help Thane track her down."<br /> <br /> He nodded and headed off towards the forest.<br /> <br /> I gave Rick my hand and helped him up from the ground as he gave me a thankful smile.<br /> <br /> Before he could pull away, I tightened my hold on his hand and lowered my voice to a deadly tone, "If you're lying and take my trust for granted-"<br /> <br /> "I'm not and I won't. You have my word."<br /> <br /> "It means very little to me," I said as I dropped his hand and backed up as he nodded.<br /> <br /> "While we're not going to kill you right now," My dad started, "it doesn't mean your pack is free. I must insist that we keep you in our packhouse until we find our Luna or your Alpha. It's either that or our Crypt."<br /> <br /> Rick wiped some blood off the cut of his cheek as he agreed, "My Alpha's innocent but lead the way I guess."<br /> <br /> "You're Alpha doesn't exactly have a clean track record," I noted, and he smirked.<br /> <br /> "That he does not, which is why I won't kill your Beta for putting his hands on me."<br /> <br /> A few of my pack members growled at his words and I cut him a look, "You really need to learn to shut up dvde."<br /> <br /> "Forgive me..." He trailed off as he waited for my name.<br /> <br /> "Tate," I answered.<br /> <br /> His brow rose, "You're Alpha Thane's little sister."<br /> <br /> I narrowed my eyes at him, "Very strong and fast sister, yes."<br /> <br /> Sure, I was Thane's little sister but that shouldn't overshadow the fact that I could kick his a-ss.<br /> <br /> Not Thane's sister or Carson's daughter. Just Tate; destroyer of rogues and master of bad luck.<br /> <br /> Has a ring to it doesn't it?<br /> <br /> "Come on, I'll show you to the packhouse," I gestured to him and his pack before turning to my father. "I got it over here, you can go help with the search."<br /> <br /> Taking orders like a champ, he went off as I escorted Rick and the other wolves of his pack back to the house.<br /> <br /> "I must ask," Rick started, "why did you help me?"<br /> <br /> "As I said, I was trying to prevent a much bigger problem as I don't believe your Alpha took my Luna just yet," I threw him a questioning look.<br /> <br /> "Good call," He nodded approvingly.<br /> <br /> "Well, I for one am not in a mood for a war with your pack."<br /> <br /> Then I stood before the members of the Oaks pack and announced, "Welcome to the packhouse. Your pack will be staying in the left hall on the second floor and your bags are already there. Until we find our Luna, everyone's required to stay in here. I assure you, if you break our one rule, my Alpha won't take kindly to it."<br /> <br /> A few snarled at my threat but Beta Rick snapped them into line with one look before they all nodded and dispersed around the house.<br /> <br /> "I hope I can trust that you ensure they stay in the house?" I asked Rick as I watched the foyer clear out.<br /> <br /> "Trust me, Aiden would chew them out if they get themselves thrown in your pack's Crypt. Plus, he keeps everyone in line, so they know when to follow rules. Considering how much they've all been working back home they're probably happy to stay indoors for a few days," Rick answered.<br /> <br /> "Isn't your pack the largest in the country? Would you all not have shifts that are far between?" I asked with sudden curiosity.<br /> <br /> His eyes were shielded, and I knew pack business wasn't something he was about to discuss with an outsider.<br /> <br /> "It's complicated," he finally said. "I think I'll go join the others in the game room."<br /> <br /> And just like that, the conversation ended abruptly.<br /> <br /> "Of course, let me know if your pack needs anything," I said as curiosity burned through me.<br /> <br /> He nodded with secrets hidden behind his eyes as he walked away.<br /> <br /> Something was up with their pack, that was pretty obvious. But from everything I know they don't have any issues aside from missing a Luna.<br /> <br /> But what if the sudden need for a Luna was connected to what's happening behind the scenes?<br /> <br /> The only information I know about their pack is that it's settled deep in a forest nestled by thousands of old oak trees, hence their pack name, and there aren't many rogues around, so they don't have issues with wild wolves. I also knew for a fact that their pack had at least a thousand wolves so even if there were rogues, it wouldn't be an issue.<br /> <br /> Was it none of my god dann business? Of course.<br /> <br /> Was I still going to figure it out? Mhmm.<br /> <br /> There's a link with needing a Luna to make their pack stronger and whatever's going on, that's as far as I've got.<br /> <br /> Well as far as I've assumed. Unless of course Alpha Dic-khead really is a condescending leader and just wants more power. But if they really do plan on taking Emery, this could be vital knowledge.<br /> <br /> I may not be a conversationalist, but I am good at observing.<br /> <br /> You'll be surprised at how easily anyone will diivulge their deepest darkest secrets when they think no one's looking. It could be a jagged breath, a nervous laugh, a moment forgotten to blink, or a hesitated answer. The key was to listen more than you speak. Talkers always tell more than they hide.<br /> <br /> If only I could get some blackmail material. Just enough to make a difference to prevent Alpha Aiden from taking Emery.<br /> <br /> As I stepped towards the living room where most of the Oaks pack trailed off into, I heard a loud commotion in the backyard. I went on high alert as I took a detour and I stalked down the long hallway.<br /> <br /> Halfway to the back door, I caught the scent of sea-washed mahogany and fresh waterfall. The calmness that spread through me felt exceedingly foreign in my body but oddly fitting. It was as if a missing piece of me that was stolen all my life was finally returned.<br /> <br /> The scents drove my mind to a picturesque coast with sky blue waters and sugar brown sand. It didn't go unnoticed that I'd never been to a beach before but somehow knew what it would feel like.<br /> <br /> My feet moved as my mind entered a hazy, almost opiate state, and I shuffled hurriedly at the door knowing the scent meant one thing.<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> My mate.<br /> <br /> My presumably dead mate.<br /> <br /> Well, living mate now.<br /> <br /> Fumbling with the handle, my palms became sweaty as I felt nerves rushed through my body and caused my heart to thud in my chsest like a thunderstorm.<br /> <br /> I closed my eyes, sucked in a breath, and count to three before grabbing hold of my distorted mind.<br /> <br /> Rubbing my sweaty palms on my jeans, I grabbed the handle one more time and pushed the door open as the scent hit me with its full force.<br /> <br /> My eyes fell on the man standing in the backyard with my brother, Emery and Lucas.<br /> <br /> His ocean eyes snapped towards me as I nearly stumbled down the steps.<br /> <br /> His dirty blonde hair, however, was a dead giveaway of who he was.<br /> <br /> Alpha D-ickhead.<br /> <br /> Alpha Dii-ckhead is my mate.<br /> <br /> I felt my breath catch in my throat. My mind was definitely playing tricks on me as it showed me the man who was supposedly my mate.<br /> <br /> Pounding my chsest and letting out a sound that could only be described as a squaawk from a dying dvck, I gaped at him.<br /> <br /> "Mate," He whispered, and I caught the deep timbre of his voice.<br /> <br /> Aiden.<br /> <br /> Alpha Aiden.<br /> <br /> The Alpha of the Oaks Pack.<br /> <br /> He's my mate.<br /> <br /> The Alpha who's known for killing people if they hover around him too long. The friicking Alpha who planned on kiidnapping my brother's mate if he didn't find his own.<br /> <br /> Who wanted a mate? I did. Who got a mate? I did. Who got an eviil mate?

636,734	/src/Template/Ads/index.ctp (line 281) null	No	2024-03-21 16:33	active	300	427734776413276	Read the Full Version👉	"He's dead," I declared with a huff when the last pack entered the clearing.<br /> <br /> I could practically hear my mother roll her eyes next to me as she flicked me behind the ear, "Be quiet Tate."<br /> <br /> I grumbled under my breath as I watched all the unmated wolves run into the arms of their newly discovered mates.<br /> <br /> Honestly, my mate was as good as dead.<br /> <br /> As everyone gathered around in their own little groups, my mother finally turned to me with a sad smile.<br /> <br /> "He's not dead... he's just not here yet," She suggested as she shrugged.<br /> <br /> "Mom, I love you, but you and I both know you're wrong."<br /> <br /> Today's our annual Mate Meet-Up. Wolves usually meet their mates at sixteen and most of the time their mate is in the same pack. The others usually find their mates in neighbouring packs. Therefore, the Alphas of the four closest pack to our territory all meet up with their unmated wolves so they'll be able to find their match.<br /> <br /> Most of the time, everyone who had yet to find their mate does. However, there were a few that didn't.<br /> <br /> I, of course, landed in that niiche as I have not found my mate yet. This leads me to believe that my non-existent mate is either dead, a rogue wolf, or simply does not exist.<br /> <br /> I'm going with the first since I was a few weeks shy of being eighteen and Mr. Mate still had not shown up.<br /> <br /> "Listen to me," My mom grabbed my shoulder and looked me in the eye, "mates are nice...sure. But you're Tate Blackwood, Alpha's daughter, and warrior extraordinaire. To be honest, I don't know any wolf that'll be able to balance you out."<br /> <br /> "So cheesy," I said as I wiggled my nose, but she just flicked my ear again.<br /> <br /> My mom, Anne, could always make me smile, no matter what.<br /> <br /> "Let me rephrase," I smiled as her eyes narrowed on me. "Very wise words mom. Thank you for being my Yoda."<br /> <br /> That made her laugh because she loatthed Star Wars. Giving me a warm embrace, she made me feel a lot better.<br /> <br /> Mom's hugs were the best. I don't know what I'd do without them.<br /> <br /> "How about you go mingle with your friends while I go help Emery with Luna duties," She suggested, and I nodded as she walked away.<br /> <br /> As I stood looking around the clearing, I watched as my friends and fellow pack members all fawned over their mates and received an equal amount of affection in return.<br /> <br /> It's not that I necessarily wanted a mate...I just wanted to know what it felt like. That bond. The connection. The deep emotional connections formed by some magical powers that were bigger than us all.<br /> <br /> I was curious about it because it wasn't something I could feel or tovch. The only way I could see these strings connecting two souls was through the people around me. My parents and my brother with his mate. Watching them was like watching the most beautiful and most amazing love story unfold before your eyes.<br /> <br /> My parents were as much as in love as they were when I was a child. I'd always assumed that because your mate is your one true love, that you'd instantly fall in love. The superficial notion that one would feel that much passion within a second of meeting someone always made me loatth the concept.<br /> <br /> But that all changed when I witnessed my brother and his mate, Emery. Their story of falling in love was something else entirely. They certainly weren't 'love at first sight' with Emery hating Thane's gvts and Thane refusing to tell her his secrets.<br /> <br /> They fought for it though. Their love was built by them but strengthened by the mate bond.<br /> <br /> That was what I wanted.<br /> <br /> Not a superficial fairy-tale but a roaring fire of passion.<br /> <br /> To be in love instead of loved.<br /> <br /> To experience the thing that was as invisible as air but as necessary as oxygen.<br /> <br /> Just as I started marching out of the clearing, as I'm not needed there anymore, Bailey, the Beta's mate, stopped me in my tracks.<br /> <br /> "Hey, where are you headed off to?" She questioned.<br /> <br /> "To pack on a few pounds in whatever dessert's brewing in the kitchen," I grinned, and she shook her head knowing that was a given.<br /> <br /> "Fine, but while you're there make sure and help out the pack in preparing the guest rooms for the other packs."<br /> <br /> I saluted her and started to trail off again before she grabbed my hand, "And Tate, don't wander off alone."<br /> <br /> Before I could ask, she switched over to her mind link since we were in a field of werewolves, most of who weren't our pack members.<br /> <br /> 'The Alpha of the Oaks Pack hasn't shown up yet, but his Beta said he's expected to arrive soon, so be careful.'<br /> <br /> 'Right Alpha Di-ckhead,' I said in apprehension and she smirked because she created the nickname.<br /> <br /> Alpha Dic-khead, more formally known as Alpha Aiden Oaks was the ruthless, calllous, dangerous, and mate-less Alpha. The one who just so happened to be on a hunt for a Luna.<br /> <br /> He usually skips these meetings and sends his Beta, Rick, in his place but this year, the innfamous Alpha of the Oaks pack has decided to join in the festivities.<br /> <br /> The reason being, he was finally in search of a mate to strengthen his pack.<br /> <br /> An Alpha wasn't an Alpha without a Luna to lead by his side. Two figures leading the pack always made them stronger. But with Alpha Aiden being the arrogant narciissist everyone proclaims him to be, I see why wanting a Luna is of use to him.<br /> <br /> Not because he wants one, but because it will just give him more power. But he hasn't found his true mate yet at the age of twenty-one.<br /> <br /> I mean, sure the Alpha can mate with any other wolf if he doesn't find his mate, but the pack would only be strengthened if the Luna was a true born Luna. This meant that she or he had to be an unmarked mate of an Alpha or an Alpha born male or female. That's the only way he'll be able to reinforce the power and strength of his pack.<br /> <br /> And that's where the Luna of my pack comes in.<br /> <br /> My brother, Thane, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, met his mate Emery a few months back. She's human so they've been moving slow and haven't mated yet nor has Thane marked her. This puts her in the face of danger since Alpha Aiden can challenge my brother for the pack, kill him, and then claiim Emery. Or he can simply kiidnap her and mark her before my brother does.<br /> <br /> Twisted, I know, but apparently, Alpha D-ickhead didn't give a flying f-vc about who he must kill to get what he wants. His main concern was finding a mate and Emery was the only Luna not marrked which made her a prime target. So, until Alpha Aiden showed up and we had eyes on him, all of us were on high alert.<br /> <br /> Was I worried? Hecck yes.<br /> <br /> Alpha Aiden fought diirty, won quickly, and didn't show remorse. I'd be an idiiot to not be apprehensive about him, especially since he wanted something that didn't belong to him.<br /> <br /> My brother Thane was strong but I'm afraid he didn't have the prerequisite of being a crazy killing batstarrd. Now that would have worked out in his favour if Alpha Aiden did decide to challenge him.<br /> <br /> Worst yet, I feared for his mate Emery.<br /> <br /> Since she's human, there's no way she could defend herself against a werewolf, it was physically impossible.<br /> <br /> If something went down, the plan was simple. Take Emery and run for the hills as I was one of the fastest wolves in my pack.<br /> <br /> As I made my way back to our packhouse, I sighed in frustration at the possible sihit show that could go down between now and the next few hours.<br /> <br /> But we couldn't do anything until Aiden arrived, so I followed my nose directly to the kitchen. I greeted some of the pack members in there who were preparing a big meal for our guests since they're staying here for the next two days.<br /> <br /> Instead of offering help, I grabbed a plate of cookies and a soda to induce a diabetic coma by way of sugary goodness. One hundred percent don't recommend unless you're a werewolf and can't get diabetes.<br /> <br /> Just as I plopped myself onto the soft recliner in the living room, snuggled deep into the soft material, popped open my can of soda, and brought a warm cookie to my mouth, my brother's voice echoed through my mind link.<br /> <br /> 'Where is she?! Where's Emery?'<br /> <br /> His Alpha tone made it exceedingly clear what was about to go down.<br /> <br /> "Oh sihit," I cursed as I scrambled to my feet.<br /> <br /> Soda can knocked over, cookie crumbs laying on the floor and my comfy seat long forgotten, I sprinted towards the front door just as Thane busted in.<br /> <br /> His enraged expression warned everyone to back up as he fumed.<br /> <br /> "What happened?" I questioned.<br /> <br /> His eyes were wild as he sniffed the air, "Emery came here looking for you but I can't smell her. Her scent's not here! Where is she, Tate?"<br /> <br /> Panic gripped my insides as I shook my head, "She hasn't been to the packhouse."<br /> <br /> The fear that overtook his face was one I never thought I'd see on his usually relaxed and controlled features.<br /> <br /> Without another word we all rushed outside and tried to find her scent.<br /> <br /> But like a ghsost, she disappeared without a trail. <br /> <br /> An hour later and we still hadn't found her.<br /> <br /> No trail, no scent, no Emery.<br /> <br /> According to Thane, she was on her way to the packhouse, but her scent lingered past the house and towards a small trail leading to the forest. It disappeared beyond that point and now everyone was on the hunt for her.<br /> <br /> 'Tate, go back to the house. If Emery turns up, I want you to take her to the human town. Jane would make sure you get in unnoticed,' Thane mind linked me as and the others ran further into the forest.<br /> <br /> The human town of Fairbairn was where Emery used to live but since she's considered a missing person there, it would be dangerous if she turned up. If the humans knew she was still alive, it would risk the secret of werewolves. She couldn't exactly tell them the mythical beast they've been hunting for centuries was a werewolf who's her soulmate. They'd probably lock her up in a mental institute. Hence the reason why my great-aunt, Jane, who lived there would be able to sneak us in.<br /> <br /> Heeding my brother's words, I ran back towards the house in my wolf form. The cool evening air brushed through my dark grey fur and my paws sank into the warm earth below me. Running in the woods was an indescribable feeling. A sudden rush of endorphins.<br /> <br /> But the fear of the unknown sank its claws into my happy state of mind and left my insides feeling like blocks of ice. This only triggered an undeniable pain in my chsest which was an after effect from a wound I sustained a few months back.<br /> <br /> I was on the brink of death that day, but Emery saved my life. Which is why I owe her my life and my time to ensure we find her now.<br /> <br /> As for my severe chsest pains, it happens every once in a while, which was something I have to live with. According to the pack doctor, nothing's wrong per se, but the pain wasn't right either.<br /> <br /> Shifting behind the packhouse, I hunched over as I breathed through the pain as it sent riipples of pain through my upper torrso. They don't usually last more than five minutes, which I'm grateful for as I pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt stashed in a hollow out tree.<br /> <br /> Before I could go inside, however, I heard shouting coming from the clearing where everyone was gathered. My chsest eased as I briskly walked in the direction of the drama.<br /> <br /> Breaking through the trees and into the clearing, I saw Beta Lucas holding a man to the ground and yelling in his face.<br /> <br /> "Where the hel is she? Tell me!" He shouted as he lifted the man's shoulders and sllammed him back into the ground.<br /> <br /> My eyes picked up the angry wolves from Alpha Aiden's pack who were growling lowly at Lucas. As I neared the men, I realized it was Rick, Aiden's Beta, who was currently being knocked around by Lucas.<br /> <br /> "As I told you already, I don't know what you're talking about. Let me up man, before I report you to your Alpha," Rick seethed.<br /> <br /> "Whose orders do you think I'm under? You're honestly lucky it isn't Alpha Thane or else you'd be dead by now."<br /> <br /> Rick narrowed his eyes at him, "Is this how your pack treats guests? By threatening them after they've been civil?"<br /> <br /> "If you answer the question, I won't have to threaten you."<br /> <br /> "You're forgetting that I don't know what the hel you're on about."<br /> <br /> Lucas attacked the man again, but this time with a fist to his cheek, "Your Alpha kidnapped our Luna. Tell me where they are, now wolf!"<br /> <br /> "I told you, we don't know. And trust me you'll know when my Alpha arrives," Rick spat some blood out from his busted lip.<br /> <br /> "You little-"<br /> <br /> "Wait!" I grabbed Lucas's wriist before he punched Rick.<br /> <br /> They both turned to me. While Rick was taken aback by my involvement, Lucas was fuming in anger.<br /> <br /> "Tate, what the hel are you doing?" Bailey, Lucas's mate, queried.<br /> <br /> "Prevent Lucas from sending us into a war," I grumbled, and they all seemed rather confused. "Geez guys, think about it for a second. Why would Alpha Aiden leave his Beta and pack members here at the mercy of our hands while he kiidnaps Emery? It doesn't make sense because he would and should know that we'd kill them for that. Would he really let his Beta die for this?"<br /> <br /> When everyone lifted their eyebrows at my contradiction against our Beta, I realized it may not have been as obvious as I assumed.<br /> <br /> "Look, I'm not saying they're to be trusted, but I don't think he'd leave his second in command to die just to get a mate." My eyes flickered to Rick, "Would he?"<br /> <br /> "He wouldn't," He answered before turning to Lucas. "From one Beta to another, would your Alpha leave you to get murrdered by a lesser pack?"<br /> <br /> Lucas stole his hand away from my hold and punched Rick again.<br /> <br /> "Jesvs dvde, shut your Jell-O hole would you!" I said exasperated by his stvpiidity.<br /> <br /> He chuckled but held his hands up in surrender, "Okay fine, I concede. But you know she's right. My Alpha doesn't have your precious Luna."<br /> <br /> Carson, my father, stepped in and placed his hand on Lucas's shoulder, "Tate is right, I don't think he knows what happened to Emery. Let him up and go help Thane track her down."<br /> <br /> He nodded and headed off towards the forest.<br /> <br /> I gave Rick my hand and helped him up from the ground as he gave me a thankful smile.<br /> <br /> Before he could pull away, I tightened my hold on his hand and lowered my voice to a deadly tone, "If you're lying and take my trust for granted-"<br /> <br /> "I'm not and I won't. You have my word."<br /> <br /> "It means very little to me," I said as I dropped his hand and backed up as he nodded.<br /> <br /> "While we're not going to kill you right now," My dad started, "it doesn't mean your pack is free. I must insist that we keep you in our packhouse until we find our Luna or your Alpha. It's either that or our Crypt."<br /> <br /> Rick wiped some blood off the cut of his cheek as he agreed, "My Alpha's innocent but lead the way I guess."<br /> <br /> "You're Alpha doesn't exactly have a clean track record," I noted, and he smirked.<br /> <br /> "That he does not, which is why I won't kill your Beta for putting his hands on me."<br /> <br /> A few of my pack members growled at his words and I cut him a look, "You really need to learn to shut up dvde."<br /> <br /> "Forgive me..." He trailed off as he waited for my name.<br /> <br /> "Tate," I answered.<br /> <br /> His brow rose, "You're Alpha Thane's little sister."<br /> <br /> I narrowed my eyes at him, "Very strong and fast sister, yes."<br /> <br /> Sure, I was Thane's little sister but that shouldn't overshadow the fact that I could kick his a-ss.<br /> <br /> Not Thane's sister or Carson's daughter. Just Tate; destroyer of rogues and master of bad luck.<br /> <br /> Has a ring to it doesn't it?<br /> <br /> "Come on, I'll show you to the packhouse," I gestured to him and his pack before turning to my father. "I got it over here, you can go help with the search."<br /> <br /> Taking orders like a champ, he went off as I escorted Rick and the other wolves of his pack back to the house.<br /> <br /> "I must ask," Rick started, "why did you help me?"<br /> <br /> "As I said, I was trying to prevent a much bigger problem as I don't believe your Alpha took my Luna just yet," I threw him a questioning look.<br /> <br /> "Good call," He nodded approvingly.<br /> <br /> "Well, I for one am not in a mood for a war with your pack."<br /> <br /> Then I stood before the members of the Oaks pack and announced, "Welcome to the packhouse. Your pack will be staying in the left hall on the second floor and your bags are already there. Until we find our Luna, everyone's required to stay in here. I assure you, if you break our one rule, my Alpha won't take kindly to it."<br /> <br /> A few snarled at my threat but Beta Rick snapped them into line with one look before they all nodded and dispersed around the house.<br /> <br /> "I hope I can trust that you ensure they stay in the house?" I asked Rick as I watched the foyer clear out.<br /> <br /> "Trust me, Aiden would chew them out if they get themselves thrown in your pack's Crypt. Plus, he keeps everyone in line, so they know when to follow rules. Considering how much they've all been working back home they're probably happy to stay indoors for a few days," Rick answered.<br /> <br /> "Isn't your pack the largest in the country? Would you all not have shifts that are far between?" I asked with sudden curiosity.<br /> <br /> His eyes were shielded, and I knew pack business wasn't something he was about to discuss with an outsider.<br /> <br /> "It's complicated," he finally said. "I think I'll go join the others in the game room."<br /> <br /> And just like that, the conversation ended abruptly.<br /> <br /> "Of course, let me know if your pack needs anything," I said as curiosity burned through me.<br /> <br /> He nodded with secrets hidden behind his eyes as he walked away.<br /> <br /> Something was up with their pack, that was pretty obvious. But from everything I know they don't have any issues aside from missing a Luna.<br /> <br /> But what if the sudden need for a Luna was connected to what's happening behind the scenes?<br /> <br /> The only information I know about their pack is that it's settled deep in a forest nestled by thousands of old oak trees, hence their pack name, and there aren't many rogues around, so they don't have issues with wild wolves. I also knew for a fact that their pack had at least a thousand wolves so even if there were rogues, it wouldn't be an issue.<br /> <br /> Was it none of my god dann business? Of course.<br /> <br /> Was I still going to figure it out? Mhmm.<br /> <br /> There's a link with needing a Luna to make their pack stronger and whatever's going on, that's as far as I've got.<br /> <br /> Well as far as I've assumed. Unless of course Alpha Dic-khead really is a condescending leader and just wants more power. But if they really do plan on taking Emery, this could be vital knowledge.<br /> <br /> I may not be a conversationalist, but I am good at observing.<br /> <br /> You'll be surprised at how easily anyone will diivulge their deepest darkest secrets when they think no one's looking. It could be a jagged breath, a nervous laugh, a moment forgotten to blink, or a hesitated answer. The key was to listen more than you speak. Talkers always tell more than they hide.<br /> <br /> If only I could get some blackmail material. Just enough to make a difference to prevent Alpha Aiden from taking Emery.<br /> <br /> As I stepped towards the living room where most of the Oaks pack trailed off into, I heard a loud commotion in the backyard. I went on high alert as I took a detour and I stalked down the long hallway.<br /> <br /> Halfway to the back door, I caught the scent of sea-washed mahogany and fresh waterfall. The calmness that spread through me felt exceedingly foreign in my body but oddly fitting. It was as if a missing piece of me that was stolen all my life was finally returned.<br /> <br /> The scents drove my mind to a picturesque coast with sky blue waters and sugar brown sand. It didn't go unnoticed that I'd never been to a beach before but somehow knew what it would feel like.<br /> <br /> My feet moved as my mind entered a hazy, almost opiate state, and I shuffled hurriedly at the door knowing the scent meant one thing.<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> My mate.<br /> <br /> My presumably dead mate.<br /> <br /> Well, living mate now.<br /> <br /> Fumbling with the handle, my palms became sweaty as I felt nerves rushed through my body and caused my heart to thud in my chsest like a thunderstorm.<br /> <br /> I closed my eyes, sucked in a breath, and count to three before grabbing hold of my distorted mind.<br /> <br /> Rubbing my sweaty palms on my jeans, I grabbed the handle one more time and pushed the door open as the scent hit me with its full force.<br /> <br /> My eyes fell on the man standing in the backyard with my brother, Emery and Lucas.<br /> <br /> His ocean eyes snapped towards me as I nearly stumbled down the steps.<br /> <br /> His dirty blonde hair, however, was a dead giveaway of who he was.<br /> <br /> Alpha D-ickhead.<br /> <br /> Alpha Dii-ckhead is my mate.<br /> <br /> I felt my breath catch in my throat. My mind was definitely playing tricks on me as it showed me the man who was supposedly my mate.<br /> <br /> Pounding my chsest and letting out a sound that could only be described as a squaawk from a dying dvck, I gaped at him.<br /> <br /> "Mate," He whispered, and I caught the deep timbre of his voice.<br /> <br /> Aiden.<br /> <br /> Alpha Aiden.<br /> <br /> The Alpha of the Oaks Pack.<br /> <br /> He's my mate.<br /> <br /> The Alpha who's known for killing people if they hover around him too long. The friicking Alpha who planned on kiidnapping my brother's mate if he didn't find his own.<br /> <br /> Who wanted a mate? I did. Who got a mate? I did. Who got an eviil mate?

Wolves usually meet their mates at sixteen and most of the time their mate is in the same pack. The others usually find their mates in neighbouring packs. Therefore, the Alphas of the four closest pack to our territory all meet up with their unmated wolves so they'll be able to find their match.<br /> <br /> Most of the time, everyone who had yet to find their mate does. However, there were a few that didn't.<br /> <br /> I, of course, landed in that niiche as I have not found my mate yet. This leads me to believe that my non-existent mate is either dead, a rogue wolf, or simply does not exist.<br /> <br /> I'm going with the first since I was a few weeks shy of being eighteen and Mr. Mate still had not shown up.<br /> <br /> "Listen to me," My mom grabbed my shoulder and looked me in the eye, "mates are nice...sure. But you're Tate Blackwood, Alpha's daughter, and warrior extraordinaire. To be honest, I don't know any wolf that'll be able to balance you out."<br /> <br /> "So cheesy," I said as I wiggled my nose, but she just flicked my ear again.<br /> <br /> My mom, Anne, could always make me smile, no matter what.<br /> <br /> "Let me rephrase," I smiled as her eyes narrowed on me. "Very wise words mom. Thank you for being my Yoda."<br /> <br /> That made her laugh because she loatthed Star Wars. Giving me a warm embrace, she made me feel a lot better.<br /> <br /> Mom's hugs were the best. I don't know what I'd do without them.<br /> <br /> "How about you go mingle with your friends while I go help Emery with Luna duties," She suggested, and I nodded as she walked away.<br /> <br /> As I stood looking around the clearing, I watched as my friends and fellow pack members all fawned over their mates and received an equal amount of affection in return.<br /> <br /> It's not that I necessarily wanted a mate...I just wanted to know what it felt like. That bond. The connection. The deep emotional connections formed by some magical powers that were bigger than us all.<br /> <br /> I was curious about it because it wasn't something I could feel or tovch. The only way I could see these strings connecting two souls was through the people around me. My parents and my brother with his mate. Watching them was like watching the most beautiful and most amazing love story unfold before your eyes.<br /> <br /> My parents were as much as in love as they were when I was a child. I'd always assumed that because your mate is your one true love, that you'd instantly fall in love. The superficial notion that one would feel that much passion within a second of meeting someone always made me loatth the concept.<br /> <br /> But that all changed when I witnessed my brother and his mate, Emery. Their story of falling in love was something else entirely. They certainly weren't 'love at first sight' with Emery hating Thane's gvts and Thane refusing to tell her his secrets.<br /> <br /> They fought for it though. Their love was built by them but strengthened by the mate bond.<br /> <br /> That was what I wanted.<br /> <br /> Not a superficial fairy-tale but a roaring fire of passion.<br /> <br /> To be in love instead of loved.<br /> <br /> To experience the thing that was as invisible as air but as necessary as oxygen.<br /> <br /> Just as I started marching out of the clearing, as I'm not needed there anymore, Bailey, the Beta's mate, stopped me in my tracks.<br /> <br /> "Hey, where are you headed off to?" She questioned.<br /> <br /> "To pack on a few pounds in whatever dessert's brewing in the kitchen," I grinned, and she shook her head knowing that was a given.<br /> <br /> "Fine, but while you're there make sure and help out the pack in preparing the guest rooms for the other packs."<br /> <br /> I saluted her and started to trail off again before she grabbed my hand, "And Tate, don't wander off alone."<br /> <br /> Before I could ask, she switched over to her mind link since we were in a field of werewolves, most of who weren't our pack members.<br /> <br /> 'The Alpha of the Oaks Pack hasn't shown up yet, but his Beta said he's expected to arrive soon, so be careful.'<br /> <br /> 'Right Alpha Di-ckhead,' I said in apprehension and she smirked because she created the nickname.<br /> <br /> Alpha Dic-khead, more formally known as Alpha Aiden Oaks was the ruthless, calllous, dangerous, and mate-less Alpha. The one who just so happened to be on a hunt for a Luna.<br /> <br /> He usually skips these meetings and sends his Beta, Rick, in his place but this year, the innfamous Alpha of the Oaks pack has decided to join in the festivities.<br /> <br /> The reason being, he was finally in search of a mate to strengthen his pack.<br /> <br /> An Alpha wasn't an Alpha without a Luna to lead by his side. Two figures leading the pack always made them stronger. But with Alpha Aiden being the arrogant narciissist everyone proclaims him to be, I see why wanting a Luna is of use to him.<br /> <br /> Not because he wants one, but because it will just give him more power. But he hasn't found his true mate yet at the age of twenty-one.<br /> <br /> I mean, sure the Alpha can mate with any other wolf if he doesn't find his mate, but the pack would only be strengthened if the Luna was a true born Luna. This meant that she or he had to be an unmarked mate of an Alpha or an Alpha born male or female. That's the only way he'll be able to reinforce the power and strength of his pack.<br /> <br /> And that's where the Luna of my pack comes in.<br /> <br /> My brother, Thane, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, met his mate Emery a few months back. She's human so they've been moving slow and haven't mated yet nor has Thane marked her. This puts her in the face of danger since Alpha Aiden can challenge my brother for the pack, kill him, and then claiim Emery. Or he can simply kiidnap her and mark her before my brother does.<br /> <br /> Twisted, I know, but apparently, Alpha D-ickhead didn't give a flying f-vc about who he must kill to get what he wants. His main concern was finding a mate and Emery was the only Luna not marrked which made her a prime target. So, until Alpha Aiden showed up and we had eyes on him, all of us were on high alert.<br /> <br /> Was I worried? Hecck yes.<br /> <br /> Alpha Aiden fought diirty, won quickly, and didn't show remorse. I'd be an idiiot to not be apprehensive about him, especially since he wanted something that didn't belong to him.<br /> <br /> My brother Thane was strong but I'm afraid he didn't have the prerequisite of being a crazy killing batstarrd. Now that would have worked out in his favour if Alpha Aiden did decide to challenge him.<br /> <br /> Worst yet, I feared for his mate Emery.<br /> <br /> Since she's human, there's no way she could defend herself against a werewolf, it was physically impossible.<br /> <br /> If something went down, the plan was simple. Take Emery and run for the hills as I was one of the fastest wolves in my pack.<br /> <br /> As I made my way back to our packhouse, I sighed in frustration at the possible sihit show that could go down between now and the next few hours.<br /> <br /> But we couldn't do anything until Aiden arrived, so I followed my nose directly to the kitchen. I greeted some of the pack members in there who were preparing a big meal for our guests since they're staying here for the next two days.<br /> <br /> Instead of offering help, I grabbed a plate of cookies and a soda to induce a diabetic coma by way of sugary goodness. One hundred percent don't recommend unless you're a werewolf and can't get diabetes.<br /> <br /> Just as I plopped myself onto the soft recliner in the living room, snuggled deep into the soft material, popped open my can of soda, and brought a warm cookie to my mouth, my brother's voice echoed through my mind link.<br /> <br /> 'Where is she?! Where's Emery?'<br /> <br /> His Alpha tone made it exceedingly clear what was about to go down.<br /> <br /> "Oh sihit," I cursed as I scrambled to my feet.<br /> <br /> Soda can knocked over, cookie crumbs laying on the floor and my comfy seat long forgotten, I sprinted towards the front door just as Thane busted in.<br /> <br /> His enraged expression warned everyone to back up as he fumed.<br /> <br /> "What happened?" I questioned.<br /> <br /> His eyes were wild as he sniffed the air, "Emery came here looking for you but I can't smell her. Her scent's not here! Where is she, Tate?"<br /> <br /> Panic gripped my insides as I shook my head, "She hasn't been to the packhouse."<br /> <br /> The fear that overtook his face was one I never thought I'd see on his usually relaxed and controlled features.<br /> <br /> Without another word we all rushed outside and tried to find her scent.<br /> <br /> But like a ghsost, she disappeared without a trail. <br /> <br /> An hour later and we still hadn't found her.<br /> <br /> No trail, no scent, no Emery.<br /> <br /> According to Thane, she was on her way to the packhouse, but her scent lingered past the house and towards a small trail leading to the forest. It disappeared beyond that point and now everyone was on the hunt for her.<br /> <br /> 'Tate, go back to the house. If Emery turns up, I want you to take her to the human town. Jane would make sure you get in unnoticed,' Thane mind linked me as and the others ran further into the forest.<br /> <br /> The human town of Fairbairn was where Emery used to live but since she's considered a missing person there, it would be dangerous if she turned up. If the humans knew she was still alive, it would risk the secret of werewolves. She couldn't exactly tell them the mythical beast they've been hunting for centuries was a werewolf who's her soulmate. They'd probably lock her up in a mental institute. Hence the reason why my great-aunt, Jane, who lived there would be able to sneak us in.<br /> <br /> Heeding my brother's words, I ran back towards the house in my wolf form. The cool evening air brushed through my dark grey fur and my paws sank into the warm earth below me. Running in the woods was an indescribable feeling. A sudden rush of endorphins.<br /> <br /> But the fear of the unknown sank its claws into my happy state of mind and left my insides feeling like blocks of ice. This only triggered an undeniable pain in my chsest which was an after effect from a wound I sustained a few months back.<br /> <br /> I was on the brink of death that day, but Emery saved my life. Which is why I owe her my life and my time to ensure we find her now.<br /> <br /> As for my severe chsest pains, it happens every once in a while, which was something I have to live with. According to the pack doctor, nothing's wrong per se, but the pain wasn't right either.<br /> <br /> Shifting behind the packhouse, I hunched over as I breathed through the pain as it sent riipples of pain through my upper torrso. They don't usually last more than five minutes, which I'm grateful for as I pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt stashed in a hollow out tree.<br /> <br /> Before I could go inside, however, I heard shouting coming from the clearing where everyone was gathered. My chsest eased as I briskly walked in the direction of the drama.<br /> <br /> Breaking through the trees and into the clearing, I saw Beta Lucas holding a man to the ground and yelling in his face.<br /> <br /> "Where the hel is she? Tell me!" He shouted as he lifted the man's shoulders and sllammed him back into the ground.<br /> <br /> My eyes picked up the angry wolves from Alpha Aiden's pack who were growling lowly at Lucas. As I neared the men, I realized it was Rick, Aiden's Beta, who was currently being knocked around by Lucas.<br /> <br /> "As I told you already, I don't know what you're talking about. Let me up man, before I report you to your Alpha," Rick seethed.<br /> <br /> "Whose orders do you think I'm under? You're honestly lucky it isn't Alpha Thane or else you'd be dead by now."<br /> <br /> Rick narrowed his eyes at him, "Is this how your pack treats guests? By threatening them after they've been civil?"<br /> <br /> "If you answer the question, I won't have to threaten you."<br /> <br /> "You're forgetting that I don't know what the hel you're on about."<br /> <br /> Lucas attacked the man again, but this time with a fist to his cheek, "Your Alpha kidnapped our Luna. Tell me where they are, now wolf!"<br /> <br /> "I told you, we don't know. And trust me you'll know when my Alpha arrives," Rick spat some blood out from his busted lip.<br /> <br /> "You little-"<br /> <br /> "Wait!" I grabbed Lucas's wriist before he punched Rick.<br /> <br /> They both turned to me. While Rick was taken aback by my involvement, Lucas was fuming in anger.<br /> <br /> "Tate, what the hel are you doing?" Bailey, Lucas's mate, queried.<br /> <br /> "Prevent Lucas from sending us into a war," I grumbled, and they all seemed rather confused. "Geez guys, think about it for a second. Why would Alpha Aiden leave his Beta and pack members here at the mercy of our hands while he kiidnaps Emery? It doesn't make sense because he would and should know that we'd kill them for that. Would he really let his Beta die for this?"<br /> <br /> When everyone lifted their eyebrows at my contradiction against our Beta, I realized it may not have been as obvious as I assumed.<br /> <br /> "Look, I'm not saying they're to be trusted, but I don't think he'd leave his second in command to die just to get a mate." My eyes flickered to Rick, "Would he?"<br /> <br /> "He wouldn't," He answered before turning to Lucas. "From one Beta to another, would your Alpha leave you to get murrdered by a lesser pack?"<br /> <br /> Lucas stole his hand away from my hold and punched Rick again.<br /> <br /> "Jesvs dvde, shut your Jell-O hole would you!" I said exasperated by his stvpiidity.<br /> <br /> He chuckled but held his hands up in surrender, "Okay fine, I concede. But you know she's right. My Alpha doesn't have your precious Luna."<br /> <br /> Carson, my father, stepped in and placed his hand on Lucas's shoulder, "Tate is right, I don't think he knows what happened to Emery. Let him up and go help Thane track her down."<br /> <br /> He nodded and headed off towards the forest.<br /> <br /> I gave Rick my hand and helped him up from the ground as he gave me a thankful smile.<br /> <br /> Before he could pull away, I tightened my hold on his hand and lowered my voice to a deadly tone, "If you're lying and take my trust for granted-"<br /> <br /> "I'm not and I won't. You have my word."<br /> <br /> "It means very little to me," I said as I dropped his hand and backed up as he nodded.<br /> <br /> "While we're not going to kill you right now," My dad started, "it doesn't mean your pack is free. I must insist that we keep you in our packhouse until we find our Luna or your Alpha. It's either that or our Crypt."<br /> <br /> Rick wiped some blood off the cut of his cheek as he agreed, "My Alpha's innocent but lead the way I guess."<br /> <br /> "You're Alpha doesn't exactly have a clean track record," I noted, and he smirked.<br /> <br /> "That he does not, which is why I won't kill your Beta for putting his hands on me."<br /> <br /> A few of my pack members growled at his words and I cut him a look, "You really need to learn to shut up dvde."<br /> <br /> "Forgive me..." He trailed off as he waited for my name.<br /> <br /> "Tate," I answered.<br /> <br /> His brow rose, "You're Alpha Thane's little sister."<br /> <br /> I narrowed my eyes at him, "Very strong and fast sister, yes."<br /> <br /> Sure, I was Thane's little sister but that shouldn't overshadow the fact that I could kick his a-ss.<br /> <br /> Not Thane's sister or Carson's daughter. Just Tate; destroyer of rogues and master of bad luck.<br /> <br /> Has a ring to it doesn't it?<br /> <br /> "Come on, I'll show you to the packhouse," I gestured to him and his pack before turning to my father. "I got it over here, you can go help with the search."<br /> <br /> Taking orders like a champ, he went off as I escorted Rick and the other wolves of his pack back to the house.<br /> <br /> "I must ask," Rick started, "why did you help me?"<br /> <br /> "As I said, I was trying to prevent a much bigger problem as I don't believe your Alpha took my Luna just yet," I threw him a questioning look.<br /> <br /> "Good call," He nodded approvingly.<br /> <br /> "Well, I for one am not in a mood for a war with your pack."<br /> <br /> Then I stood before the members of the Oaks pack and announced, "Welcome to the packhouse. Your pack will be staying in the left hall on the second floor and your bags are already there. Until we find our Luna, everyone's required to stay in here. I assure you, if you break our one rule, my Alpha won't take kindly to it."<br /> <br /> A few snarled at my threat but Beta Rick snapped them into line with one look before they all nodded and dispersed around the house.<br /> <br /> "I hope I can trust that you ensure they stay in the house?" I asked Rick as I watched the foyer clear out.<br /> <br /> "Trust me, Aiden would chew them out if they get themselves thrown in your pack's Crypt. Plus, he keeps everyone in line, so they know when to follow rules. Considering how much they've all been working back home they're probably happy to stay indoors for a few days," Rick answered.<br /> <br /> "Isn't your pack the largest in the country? Would you all not have shifts that are far between?" I asked with sudden curiosity.<br /> <br /> His eyes were shielded, and I knew pack business wasn't something he was about to discuss with an outsider.<br /> <br /> "It's complicated," he finally said. "I think I'll go join the others in the game room."<br /> <br /> And just like that, the conversation ended abruptly.<br /> <br /> "Of course, let me know if your pack needs anything," I said as curiosity burned through me.<br /> <br /> He nodded with secrets hidden behind his eyes as he walked away.<br /> <br /> Something was up with their pack, that was pretty obvious. But from everything I know they don't have any issues aside from missing a Luna.<br /> <br /> But what if the sudden need for a Luna was connected to what's happening behind the scenes?<br /> <br /> The only information I know about their pack is that it's settled deep in a forest nestled by thousands of old oak trees, hence their pack name, and there aren't many rogues around, so they don't have issues with wild wolves. I also knew for a fact that their pack had at least a thousand wolves so even if there were rogues, it wouldn't be an issue.<br /> <br /> Was it none of my god dann business? Of course.<br /> <br /> Was I still going to figure it out? Mhmm.<br /> <br /> There's a link with needing a Luna to make their pack stronger and whatever's going on, that's as far as I've got.<br /> <br /> Well as far as I've assumed. Unless of course Alpha Dic-khead really is a condescending leader and just wants more power. But if they really do plan on taking Emery, this could be vital knowledge.<br /> <br /> I may not be a conversationalist, but I am good at observing.<br /> <br /> You'll be surprised at how easily anyone will diivulge their deepest darkest secrets when they think no one's looking. It could be a jagged breath, a nervous laugh, a moment forgotten to blink, or a hesitated answer. The key was to listen more than you speak. Talkers always tell more than they hide.<br /> <br /> If only I could get some blackmail material. Just enough to make a difference to prevent Alpha Aiden from taking Emery.<br /> <br /> As I stepped towards the living room where most of the Oaks pack trailed off into, I heard a loud commotion in the backyard. I went on high alert as I took a detour and I stalked down the long hallway.<br /> <br /> Halfway to the back door, I caught the scent of sea-washed mahogany and fresh waterfall. The calmness that spread through me felt exceedingly foreign in my body but oddly fitting. It was as if a missing piece of me that was stolen all my life was finally returned.<br /> <br /> The scents drove my mind to a picturesque coast with sky blue waters and sugar brown sand. It didn't go unnoticed that I'd never been to a beach before but somehow knew what it would feel like.<br /> <br /> My feet moved as my mind entered a hazy, almost opiate state, and I shuffled hurriedly at the door knowing the scent meant one thing.<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> My mate.<br /> <br /> My presumably dead mate.<br /> <br /> Well, living mate now.<br /> <br /> Fumbling with the handle, my palms became sweaty as I felt nerves rushed through my body and caused my heart to thud in my chsest like a thunderstorm.<br /> <br /> I closed my eyes, sucked in a breath, and count to three before grabbing hold of my distorted mind.<br /> <br /> Rubbing my sweaty palms on my jeans, I grabbed the handle one more time and pushed the door open as the scent hit me with its full force.<br /> <br /> My eyes fell on the man standing in the backyard with my brother, Emery and Lucas.<br /> <br /> His ocean eyes snapped towards me as I nearly stumbled down the steps.<br /> <br /> His dirty blonde hair, however, was a dead giveaway of who he was.<br /> <br /> Alpha D-ickhead.<br /> <br /> Alpha Dii-ckhead is my mate.<br /> <br /> I felt my breath catch in my throat. My mind was definitely playing tricks on me as it showed me the man who was supposedly my mate.<br /> <br /> Pounding my chsest and letting out a sound that could only be described as a squaawk from a dying dvck, I gaped at him.<br /> <br /> "Mate," He whispered, and I caught the deep timbre of his voice.<br /> <br /> Aiden.<br /> <br /> Alpha Aiden.<br /> <br /> The Alpha of the Oaks Pack.<br /> <br /> He's my mate.<br /> <br /> The Alpha who's known for killing people if they hover around him too long. The friicking Alpha who planned on kiidnapping my brother's mate if he didn't find his own.<br /> <br /> Who wanted a mate? I did. Who got a mate? I did. Who got an eviil mate? Ding-ding-ding ladies and gents... I did.<br /> <br /> My title as master of bad luck was certainly showing itself to be true.<br /> <br /> Please click to download and continue reading in APP<br /> You can search for "4192" and read more about this book<br /> Book Title: The Alpha's Secrets	LEARN_MORE	https://api.noveltells.net/landing-page/h5?id=171&	111004378604126	HeyNovel	https://facebook.com/100090794150496	704	1	370,119,112,566,556	2024-03-20 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	0	1	Learn more	HeyNovel	120207041993470390	api.noveltells.net	NONE	video		https://api.noveltells.net/landing-page/h5?id=171&yy_appname=HeyNovel&_btid=527351559176329&bacid=ad57acad207392f830bafdd91f5da2ebaac6a8c6b9a64a0cf75d0785387fad7bef8e6eb0f9c0076d&badid={{ad.id}}&		2024-03-20 00:43	https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/433057407_882526730339462_8658409398999098095_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=V7xSeVhWytgAX9j2qj2&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00_AfCMWnc52UureSnitrkDT-1LVjfnzoNKRXcVP_xS0n7_-A&oe=6600ED25	person_profile	HeyNovel	https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/433056989_764753608962437_4316067250935189932_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=ApNv5Zgn8BIAX8x6RLY&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.xx&oh=00_AfDSJDjdXhg8v30Vq-LMJDuUJufJQZfHGuvF6KMSJNPSYw&oe=66025C72	3	HeyNovel	2024-03-19 02:00	View Edit Delete
