Fire and Ice (The alliance Book 1)

    Calista Fai. The procession of cars that drove from our home in Oak creek to Blackrock was impressively long, and I wondered not for the first time just how big the Blackrock pack house must be in order to hold so many shifters from four different packs. There must be at least sixty travelling from our pack alone. “What’s it like at Blackrock?” I asked my parents out of curiosity having never visited the packs territory before. My parents had travelled down to Blackrock four years ago for some pack union party when the new Alpha took over, but the party had been for of age wolves only, and there had never been another occasion for any of us to attend. My two oldest brothers had been invited to attend the mating days since they themselves became of age of course, but neither of my brothers were looking to bond yet. “It seemed nice.” My Dad uttered from his seat behind the wheel of the car. “The pack house

  Cali “Oh, my goddess Cali!” My Mums voice pulled me out of my daze, still stood staring at the door through which my mate had just disappeared. How was it even possible to be so affected by such a small thing. “Tanya. Please remember that Cali is a Luna now.” My father’s voice cautioned behind me, closer than my Mum had been but quiet enough that I could barely hear him. Confused by the words however I turned with a frown to see my parents stood directly behind me and beyond them, dozens upon dozens of unfamiliar faces, all of whom were staring at me with a mixture of expressions, although I was pleased to see that for the most part, they appeared happy or just curious. “Luna.” A tall dark-haired man greeted with a bow of his head and a wide smile fixed on his face. “I am Beta Roman Kundo, second in command to Alpha Leroux and at your service.” He greeted overly formally, and I worried for a moment that he was taking the piss b

  Alpha Tristan LerouxWe stood in silence for the next hour, and I worried that I had discouraged her from asking her questions, which was worse than her asking. A Luna that did not know what she needed to know, was a dangerous thing. I mentally took note to address this later on when we had more privacy. For now though, the day was coming to a close and more and more couples were approaching the row of Alphas.A sudden squeeze of my shoulder had my attention pulling from the couple walking away to my mate behind me, I ignored the desire to pull her on my lap and followed her gaze to the couple stood before Alpha De ‘Maine. The Girl was a member of my pack, a sweet innocent young teacher. I frowned at the worried look on Cali’s face.“What is it?” I asked on a whisper.Her gaze strayed from the couple to me and back again as she quietly contemplated something for a moment.“D

 Calista FaiAmber turned out to be a wealth of knowledge about the pack, although I expected I forgot half of the information as fast as she told me it. I heard all about the leadership and how the hierarchy worked here, as well as a small amount of information about the last Alpha and his Luna.By the end of the hour that we spent together her tears had dried up, she was smiling and laughing and I could honestly say that I felt we could be good friends.She left around 3pm saying she was expected to attend the meal this evening and that she needed time to get ready I let her out of the room and immediately retreated to the on-suite bathroom for a quick soak in the huge tub to get ready myself.I was completely lost in my own thought’s half an hour later as I climbed out of the tub and wrapped one of the huge towels around myself, feeling completely relaxed I had almost forgotten all about the day’s events. For t

  CaliThe minutes ticket by as I paced the elegant wooden floor of the perfectly decorated ballroom. Eventually, just as I thought I was going to throw up with nerves, Amber rounded the doorway with her father in tow.“Is there anything else I can help with Luna?” Trent asked and I smiled.“No, thank you for your help. Are you attending this evening?” I asked and he shook his head.“No Luna, the meal and reception are designed for unmated and newly mated wolves. I will be at home with my mate this evening.”“Okay, well thank you again. And enjoy your evening with your mate.” I smiled, I watched as he gave one last nervous glance at his daughter who stood before me looking nervous herself as she played with her own fingers, before he left.“Amber, thank you for rushing down, I am so sorry to interrupt you. You look beautiful by the way.”
