Although he never took much notice of his brother, Ethan could tell inside him that the wolf was not in a good mood and the tension in his body was noticeable. Also, his pheromones were all around them like a dense cloak that made all the wolves near them as they passed move away or shuffle their heads in submission.He was about to let out a sarcastic comment, but he restrained himself from doing so, he wasn't so stupid not to realize that the subject they would touch on was delicate as everything about his mate. And from the tone Dixon had used... he had better be prepared.After a few minutes and they had wandered so far into the back woods of the herd, near the boundary they finally stopped and the alpha turned in the direction of his brother.-I hope the conversation is interesting enough for us to go so far away from the house. I don't like the idea of leaving Clara alone, especially after all she's been through. Nor so close to Will, he's another male. She's like salt, she's sl

The she-wolf, standing there in the middle of the room watched the one who was her moon cry like a frightened puppy afraid of the outside world. She clicked her tongue under her breath and turned to leave. She wouldn't deal with her. It was amazing how low they had sunk.-What's going on here?- the door suddenly opened and the beta of the herd appeared.The she-wolf opened her mouth to tell him that no one was allowed to enter that room, but closed it when she saw the wolf's gaze. He warned her that it was better not to say anything.-Get out. I'll take care of this- Will turned his gaze in the direction of the trembling she-wolf on the bed and approached her as soon as he heard the door close.He sat on the edge and waited for Clara's attention.-You don't have to go to the ceremony if you don't want to.Clara's eyes sparkled at those words, although there was still uncertainty within her.-May I be absent?Will nodded in agreement.-I'll talk to your mates. I'm sure they will unders

The two brothers thought about the idea. If Clara showed herself as they had seen her lately, where she seemed more confident and possessive than the image they had now inside the room, it would surely be a good surprise for the pack. They would only have to deal with the issue of her red orbs, but she seemed to have that under control.-Ethan smiled and pushed his hair back.-What are you going to do?- Dixon this time was the one who grabbed his arm tightly so as not to let him go.-I'm not going to fuck my mate right now so let go- his twin shook his member free with some work, -I'm going to work my magic.Dixon grunted and was about to stop him when two guards appeared at his side.-Alpha- they lowered their heads in submission so as not to look directly into his intimidating golden eyes.-What do you need?One of them held out his hand and showed a written paper. Dixon took it and read it. His brother stood next to him and craned his neck looking at the contents.-Well little brot

Clara took off the quilt that covered her from head to toe and let out a big breath of air.-Damn this fearful she-wolf- there was stubbornness in his voice.She had had to force herself to go out again, although thanks to the blood she had consumed from Dixon she was not as tired as before. Still, she needed a few minutes to get full control of her body. The other Clara had already retreated into her corner in her mind. He couldn't blame her, this one was losing strength as she grew stronger.That meant only one thing. Soon that body would be completely hers. And that was what she wanted, even though a throbbing in her chest left her without oxygen. She had spent so long caring for this Clara to the point that the internal and mental wounds were so deep and pitifully marked, that imagining herself alone was something... uncomfortable.No, she had to focus. The other Clara was completely rejecting her mates. She, needed them to live and would not allow her years to be curtailed if she

Dixon grabbed Clara's hand intertwining his fingers with hers, and pulled her to his side. Even if she wouldn't be by his side for much of the ceremony, he wanted to at least show her off in front of the others as his wolf. And luckily it was the strong part of her that was awake, that made the process easier. And so he advanced with her at his side through the midst of all the pack members in the direction of the area where the ceremony would take place.At her side Clara advanced with a fluid step, with her hair dancing on her shoulders... and a delicate smile, without being exaggerated. Most of the members were dumbfounded by her presence and how she looked in general, plus she didn't lower her head. Her chin was up next to the alpha. And there was no fear in her gaze.And they couldn't deny it, she looked really good next to the alpha of the pack.Ethan, who was walking behind them, was growling, especially at those males who stared at Clara for too long. From what she had found o

Moonlight illuminated the forest paths. The sound of pounding footsteps was the only thing breaking into the quiet night along with the wet panting of running wolves. The pack run was underway.And all the members followed their new alpha at some distance but without losing track of him. Only Clara, his proclaimed mate, was running almost effortlessly alongside him. So many years running for his life from the savages had been worth something to him.She was still shocked that Dixon had let her run along with him at the pack's starting point, but yes, there she was. The wolf had come down from the dais with his huge jet black body begging for her size and had stood beside her rubbing his large head along her neck. He had licked just behind her ear as a show of affectionate possessiveness so to speak. In that way he was indicating to her that she needed to be next to him. He had even poured pheromones all over her almost erasing his brother's that had so far marked her body.But it wasn

The fall into the lake had been so brutal that Ethan's consciousness was affected. Even with his mate between his legs, clutched tightly against his chest and his instinct dictating that she was the first thing he should protect, that didn't stop them from going down. Only when his lungs tightened and through the bond he felt his mate almost on a thread of life did Ethan open his eyes and force every part of him to move.He forgot the pain he was in from the blow and the wounds and began kicking in the water, with his hind legs in an attempt to pull them both afloat. Against him his partner was inert and panic began to assail him. He kicked harder until the edge of the moonlight-splashed water was in front of his eyes and he was through.Ethan took a deep breath of air as he surfaced and forced his body to transform as fast as he could feeling his bones creak outrageously under his skin. His now held tightly to Clara who was unconscious in his arms and... not breathing.Crap. I hadn't

Clara wasn't going crazy was she? Although now that she thought about it... she remembered being at the ceremony, standing next to the pack, standing next to Ethan, then Dixon... starting to run and... and... her mind was blank after that, until now that Ethan had sort of woken her up.She didn't know what expression she had had on her face to make Ethan embrace her and press her to his chest enveloping her with his pheromones.-Shh, quiet.She was calm, just confused, really confused. She didn't quite understand what was going on. It wasn't that the other Clara had taken control, she would have known, besides, the other one was kind of locked by herself deep inside her mind. Then.... What it had been, was something she could not answer. Now she could no longer feel that sound in her head, but it had not been her idea that it had been there before.-Lame- Ethan's hand was placed in front of her again, and the smell of his blood reached her nose, stimulating her taste buds. The blood f
