Ch 1 Introducing Winter Frost
She woke up it was 5am. She had training at 5:30. This was the first full moon. After turning 18, she was excited to see if she was going to find her mate.
The full moon was setting a 9am this morning. "A waning gibbous," which means it sets in the morning, and the moon can be seen all day, 12 hours. It was a beautiful site. 3 wolfen packs arrived last night they will be a ball tonight to celebrate any matches made today. She did notice 1 pack hadn't arrived with the rest of the packs last night. They were a new alliance, and it was their first time here.
She got dressed for training. All black was her normal. She heard her phone ring. She answered. Hi dad, how are you?
"I'm good, my little snowflake. I'm truly sorry I can't make it this full moon. " Dad said, sounding sad. It's okay. "No, it's not okay. Your mother would be yelling at me right now." You can't help war, dad. "I know, but I wanted to come , but another battle started in the kingdom, and since I'm...."
She's knows it is your job. A high in demand war general wolf. "Snow flake?" Dad, she gets it. Yeah, she's disappointed that you are not here, but she knows you do an important job. She'd come visit you but... "No, please don't it's not safe for you to do that. Especially after what you all are,"
She knows, "Right, let me speak to my other girls." Aspen pushed forward and spoke."Hi, pops," she said. "Hello, my little wolf. Are you excited about your first moon? " he asked. "Yes, but is this pack ready for me?" Aspen said.
"I feel sorry for the poor bloke that has to tame you," he said. "I'll keep him on his toes," she said. Dad laughed. Aspen receded, and Skye pushed forward. "Hi Daddy," She said. "Hello, my little cub, are you alright?" he asked.
"Nervous, what if he's a wolf and won't accept Winters bear side?" she asked. "Well, then he will have me to deal with me. You, my little cub, have the sweetest heart, the most loving paws. Your mother would be very proud of you. I love you all, " Dad said.
We all said the same "We love you, dad." He hung up. Aspen and Skye were quiet. Are you both okay? "Yes," Aspen said. Skye? "Nervous," she said. Come on, let's go punch some things.
Training was good it was great to get some energy out, but she did notice out in the forest a few already mating. She headed back to the pack house. Most of the unmated young adults live in the large apartment building in town, but with what she was and who her parents were, she had a suite on the 1st floor.
She climbed into the shower. She needed to get dressed for the full moon breakfast that was being set up in the dining hall for the full moon. She was under the hot water when she felt hands go around her waist. Kissing her shoulders, "morning gorgeous," his husky voice.
Morning, we will be late. "Who cares?" You should be you, the Alpha's son, remember. "All I want now it you." His hands went straight to her breast, caressing them. She mourned. Yes, let's be late. She spun around and kissed him back and wrapped her legs around him.
"3 2 1. Moon has set," Tanner stopped and just stared at her, and she him. She scented nothing. He looked hurt. She's sorry Tanner, they were no guarantee we were going to be mate's. "I love you, tho." He said. She knows, and she does, you too.
She pulled his face down and kissed him. Don't let it stop you, tho. He smiled at her. He started to kiss her neck. She mourned, "Don't stop." Then he plunged his fang into her neck she tried to pull him off, but he pushed them in deeper.
Tanner, no stop. When he finally pulled away, she punched him in the face, with all her shifts force. What the hell is wrong with you? she stormed out of the bathroom with just a towel around her. He followed her out doing the same.
"Win, mark me back." Tanner, no, she will not. She's not your mate she's not your luna.
"Well, you are marked now. Let's finish it." She just stared at him. He was completely serious. This wasn't a moment of madness he was serious. She had to end this now.
"I Winter Frost rejected your chosen mate mark Tanner Malton. I do not want to be your mate. I reject you," He stumbled backwards and touched his chest. "I can't believe you did that,"
She's sorry, Tanner, but she's not your mate. Please leave now. "This is not over, Winter. i will have you," he yelled at her, struggling to leave her room. Go now, Tanner. He slammed her door and broke it.
She quickly got dressed and headed for the alpha's door. She needed to explain this before her father found out. She knocked on his door. "Come in,"
Sorry to interrupt alpha, but she has something important to tell you. Then she smelled aniseed and sweet oak and turned to see a man at least 6.5 height dark brown hair shaved sides and long quiff on the top.
He was in a suit very tight. He clearly had muscle under that suit. He had blue eyes that looked very angry at her. Why was he angry. She actually said it out loud. Why are you angry?
"You're marked, and you're meant to be my mate," He was yelling at her.
"Right, let's calm down." It was Alpha Kane. "Winter, why are you marked what happened?" he asked.
That's why she's here. She was in the shower having s*x with.....Tanner your son, her now ex-boyfriend, and we discovered we weren't mates, and he was hurt and angry by this she told him to continue she meant the s*x. She turned to look at her mate he was still angry. She continued. Tanner marked her. She ran from the shower after hitting him.
Tanner wanted her to mark him back she said no and officially rejected him, but as it's only been 10 minutes ago, it hasn't fully faded from her neck. She said, turning angry towards this mate that hasn't asked any questions of her like her name or what his bloody name is.
Alpha Kane exhaled. "I'm sorry, my son did that. Winter, he's loved you for a long time. I think he expected you to be his mate. He shouldn't have marked you against your will. He will be fully punished."
She doesn't want that, but she does think she should leave as soon as possible. He's never going to move on with her here. "So you think you're moving with me," her mate said, finally spoke.
Did she say she was going with you? you haven't even acknowledged her, claimed her, or marked her. Why the hell would she go with you. You haven't even introduced yourself, so no, she won't be going anywhere with you.
"Winter, this is......" Alpha Kane started to say.
No, she doesn't want to hear it. It doesn't matter. When she's sorted something out, she'll inform you, Alpha, thank you for being understanding. Please don't be too harsh on Tanner.
"Thank you for not hating him or being angry with him." Kane said.
She left, and it didn't even look back at this mate of hers. She sat down on her bed. Aspen? Skye? "Well, he's an asshole a hot asshole but still an asshole." Aspen said. That he is."We didn't ask to be marked. " Skye added. It's fine, Skye it's his loss.
She pulled her phone out and called her auntie Connie she lived with her mate in another pack. "Hello, my sweet girl. What can I do for you? " Hello Auntie, would it be possible for her to come stay with you possible live?
"I'd have to ask the alpha, but I don't see why not. What's happened? I've been asking you for the past year to come live with me. What's changed? did you find your mate? Did he reject you? Who's ass am I kicking?. I'm as strong as your Father. I have strong warrior blood in me too, "
Auntie calmed down. Tanner marked her this morning, and he's not her mate. "Oh," is all he said. It's not a good idea to stay here now. She's felt it for a while now. This has just given her the push to leave.
"I'm sorry, sweetheart, you've been friends and a couple for a long time."
Yes, will you ask your alpha. "I will, but he's not here at the moment. He's at a new alliance mating ball." Her heart froze it can't be the same person. No, she would know this is her home pack. Do you know where?
"No, they are due to come to us next time. Why?" she asked.
What does he look like? "Winter, why?"
Crap erm when she went to tell the alpha Kane about his son. He had another Alpha in his office. She actually scented him as her mate. He's not happy about it.
"What makes you think it's my alpha?"
We were told a new alliance was coming, and she's never seen this alpha before. What does he look like?
"He's tall, handsome. Don't tell your uncle that. He has blue eyes and short brown hair with a bit of a quiff on top. Tattoos but not something you'd see he's most likely wearing a suit,"
That's sounds like him. Oh s**t, Auntie, what is she going to do?. "Did he not claim you?" No, he was rather pissed off that she had a mark on her neck from another Alpha he didn't even introduce himself or ask her name, just yelled at her.
"Oh no. You need to go speak with him. Win," she said. Why should she? He doesn't deserve her. Auntie exhaled,
"Not everything is how it seems Win. Go talk him then call me back,"
She hung up the phone to a knock at her door. She opened it to Alpha Kane and her so-called mate.
"Win, can we come in, please?" Alpha Kane asked.
Of course. What can she do for you both.
"I believe my son ruined your mating bond. I don't want that, and a proper introduction wasn't made, I'm sorry for that, and I don't want you to make any rash decisions. " He said.
It's not your fault, Alpha Kane. It was a situation taken out of her hands. She was surprised as you were when she told you.
"Okay, let's start again. Alpha Caspian Sullivan, this is Winter Frost, your goddess gifted mate. Winter this Alpha Caspian of Golden Oak forest his pack is in the wolfen realm.
Caspian was just staring hard at her she didn't say anything to him and looked back at her own alpha. He's... she started to say. Kane nodded. Does her auntie know?
"No, she hadn't a chance to tell her." Kane said.
"What am I missing," Caspian finally spoke. His voice had a little sexy tone to it.
"Sorry, Alpha Caspian, our fathers didn't get along. We've now hopefully ended that. Winters Auntie lives in your pack she met her mate by chance. We haven't had a ball together in 30 years. I haven't had a chance to tell her. Now her niece and Alpha are mates, and she'll be very happy. I think it was the goddess who is bringing our packs back together. Why don't you two sit and get to know each other. I'll have food sent up, " Alpha Kane said, leaving.
She sat down, and he did the same. "Where would you like to start?" He asked.
"Oh, his voice is so silky kiss him." Aspen said.
No, she bloody will not. A knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts.
She got up to answer the door. She took the food from the omega and sat down. She handed him a plate. Both are still in silence. Well, this is horrible she hadn't realised she said it our loud. He looked more annoyed, just great.
