LOGINHe watched her in the distance, his mind clouded over in confusion. How could he, one of the coldest Alphas in the country, have a mate?The thought of having to take care of someone for the rest of his life haunted him. He always thought he was meant to run the most powerful pack that had no weaknesses; once his wolf becomes attached to hers, nothing can tear them apart. It is known to be the cause of the deaths of many great Alphas, and yet here he stood, unable to tear his eyes away from her.Her soft, shimmering lips stood out to him from across the clearing, occasionally being grazed by her soft, silky golden hair. Her delicate fingers brushed a strand from over her crystal blue eyes as they continued to gaze over the leather-covered book resting in the center of her lap.A soft breeze flowed over her bare shoulders, sending her scent right in his direction. A shiver traveled up his spine as his eyes rolled back into his head. A low growl erupted from his chest, wondering why she was all alone in an empty clearing. She seemed like a prize he had yet to win.
View MoreMonday came a lot sooner than Celus had hoped. This pack has been his home his entire life, and guilt filled him. He didn't want them to think he was ditching them.Salen was very helpful for everyone as they prepared to say goodbye. She made sure everything was in order before they left, even setting up ways for Safiya to contact Brady and come visit while they are gone. Safiya has been bawling her eyes out, but she was supportive of her mate. She knew this was a big opportunity for him, and she wasn't going to be the one to stand in the way of that."Are you okay?" Brady asked, emerging from his room with a bright blue suitcase in his hand. He smiled wide, but an empty feeling was already starting to form in his stomach at the thought of being separated from his mate for so long."I'm fine. I'm just thinking." Celus grumbled, taking one last look around the pack house with dread."It's going to be okay. Your pack will be fine." He patted him on the shou
Celus gripped his phone in his hand, building up the nerve to call his uncle. He felt foolish denying him a few days ago only to call him up and asking to come later.Salen sat supportive across from him in one of his office chairs. Celus set the phone down on his desk with a sigh before picking it up again and holding it to his ear. He dialed his uncle's number before he lost the nerve and listened to it ring."Hello?" His uncle's deep voice echoed from the other end. Celus straightened up in his seat and cleared his throat."This is Alpha Celus." He winced at his formality. There was a silence on the line, the only sound passing through was rustling from movement. The sound of a door clicking made his ear perk."Sorry. I had to go somewhere private. So, what can I do for you?" He asked, his voice becoming lighter.With a sigh and an unsure look to his mate, Celus spoke, "I'll do it."This caught his uncle's attention. "That's great!" He ch
Celus locked himself in his office again as soon as they got home. Brady just gave Salen a shrug, taking Safiya's hand in his and leading her to their room."I'm sorry. Try and talk to him." He called over his shoulder, leaving her bummed and alone. With a deep breath she ascended the stairs and tucked her shaking hands into her pockets.The office door was cracked so it made it easy for Salen to peak in. The once well put together room was now destroyed. His desk was flipped over, paper and books scattered all over the floor. The curtains were ripped from the wall and paintings were shredded.In the middle of the chaos, Celus sat with his head in his hands on the floor. He gripped his hair while streaming curse words. Reaching down in anger, he grabbed the closest book to him and whipped it at the wall leaving a dent.Salen jumped at the loud crash catching his attention. His head snapped to the door, catching a glimpse of her light blonde hair."
Salen enjoyed shopping with Safiya and Brady. Her mate's Beta had a really good taste in clothes which came as a surprise to all of them. They were now using him to judge the outfits they were trying on to decide what to buy.Celus insisted Salen spended as much money as she wanted. He wanted her to get whatever she wanted to make her feel more comfortable in her new home.Safiya emerged from behind the curtain of the changing room wearing a bright pink tanktop and white mini skirt. Celus didn't enjoy this part. He sat lazily on the couch they provided, waiting patiently for Salen. She had only come out in one outfit so far that Safiya picked out, earning an immediateno from both of the guys. It was a very short black dress paired with a jean jacket and nude stockings."What do you think?" Safiya asked, twirling around in her short skirt as she tried to finish tucking in her tanktop."Safiya, honey," Brady sat up with his elbows resting on
