Wolfe's Sight...Prologue
Prologue
Teddy could remember every detail as if it were yesterday…
Lance had been his best friend since they were cubs. He had been adopted into the Pack at a very young age. When they both hit puberty and turned into their wolf counterparts, Lance also came into another power at this time. That very evening was the first of many visions over the years. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anyone else in the tribe who would have believed the young men. Anything different was looked upon as wrong.
He and Teddy did everything they could to prevent any of the tragic visions from happening. To the others, they just seemed lucky to have been in the right place at the right time. This worked until their Alpha, a mean brut of a man, started paying a little to close attention to Teddy. Since Lance was always together with him, Alpha Stan started to make both of their lives a living hell.
Teddy had known from the time he was a teen he was destined to have a male mate. This didn’t bother his friend in the least, Lance had known he was gay before he even known it himself. Nothing would change their friendship. Especially not something like who you were destined to love.
Over the summer, the Alpha’s advances had become more violent in nature. To the Pack, he banished anyone who came forward with a Gay Mate. Many of the Pack disagreed with this decision. A mate was a sacred bond, and it shouldn’t have been treated as a punishment.
It was also the summer when Lance met Mandy’s mom. He had a vision after their first night together from the Spirits. A Weir should have never been able to have children with anyone other than their true mate.
During this dream, Lance found out he not only had a daughter on the way from one night of passion, but he wouldn’t live long enough to see her born. This little girl would have a big part to play in the future of the wolves. Lance needed to know his friend would watch over his little girl. It was a lot to ask of his friend. He knew Teddy would have to leave the Pack, and it wasn’t easy for a wolf to be Pack-less.
Teddy didn’t want to believe his friend’s vision, it was insanity to him. He did agree in the end if Lance truly was going to be a father, then he would watch over the little girl in his absence.
It was not even two months after the vision Lance indeed found out he was going to be a father. He set up an agreement with the mother to send money every month if she agreed to have the baby.
Teddy didn’t think she even saw Lance again after the last meeting with a lawyer. It was only a week later when he died protecting him from their Alpha. He had caught Teddy unaware, and after Teddy refused his sexual advance the Alpha told him he would submit or die. He was in the process of trying to tear off his clothes. While Teddy was trying to fight him off, Lance came in and attacked the Alpha.
The Alpha was too strong for Lance, and even after the shocked Teddy tried to help his friend, it was the Beta who came upon the fight and ended up taking down the Alpha. Lance only lived long enough to explain what happened. The Alpha had ripped out his throat, in his insanity to kill him for daring to come between him and his obsession.
Teddy finished up the story. There were tears in Mandy’s silver eyes as he looked deep into their depths.
“Thank you, Teddy, for giving up so much for me. Promise me you will now become a part of Any Pack you desire. I can’t help thinking we were never meant to walk this path without a strong Pack behind us. I never want to stand in the way of you finding your own mate and Pack to support you. I know Haven would be delighted for you to become a member of their Pack,” she told him.
“You are like a daughter to me. Please know—I wouldn’t change a thing. It brought you into my life. Although my time was short with your father before his death—as my first best-friend, and the father of an amazing woman—he will be forever remembered. Honestly, we didn’t know the things which would happen. My only regret was the “Ass” of a stepfather you had growing up. I would have killed him, if I could have,” he told her with so much passion in his voice.
“I know—Teddy,” was all Mandy managed to get out before the dizzy feeling came back with a vengeance. Then she felt herself let-go of her human body. It was as if she was once again in a long hallway. With each step she took toward the light at the end of the tunnel, the more determined she was to find out what the hell was going on! After walking down the seemingly endless hallway, she finally reached the end. Mandy found herself standing before three identical doors. She knew in this moment each one was to a different future. What would happen if she opened the wrong door? Mandy thought with a little fear she wasn’t afraid to admit to herself.
From the sounds coming from each of the doors, it was apparent her friends were in a heap of trouble. Mandy closed her eyes, and let her wolf take over completely for the very first time. She reached for the door, and opened it with a gasp coming from deep inside of her… So this was their future, Mandy thought to herself.
****
It was finally done—she knew his big secret. But something was very wrong. Mandy was swaying in front of him, and then she was falling. Before he could reach out for her, Mandy’s mate flew past him and caught her before she hit the floor. He cradled her within his arms as if she was the most precious thing imaginable. Which she truly was,” Teddy thought.
“She knows everything now? Maybe it was just too much for her with everything happening to her today.” Simon pulled her close within his arms. He was thankful they were in a private room. This would have been hard to explain to the humans who were having dinner within the main part of the restaurant.
“Yes—but really I only just began to tell her of my past, and how my life was so intertwined with her own. I had no idea she would turn out to be a Seer. She had always just been my very proud friend. You will not find a more independent woman than our Mandy.
Teddy just hoped they were going to be okay. He valued her friendship more than he could ever say.
It was Mandy’s movement that pulled him out of his thoughts.
“Are you okay?” Teddy asked his friend as her eyes focused on him. She had given quite a shock passing out like that.
“Yes—I just had a vision, and it overwhelmed me is all. I am fine. You can put me down Simon.” She told the man who was holding her so effortlessly. Although, she would much rather have stayed right where she was, she thought. Did that make her shameful? After the day she had, honestly she couldn’t care less. Wow, she was truly starting to like this new assertive side of herself. Even if it was only in her own mind for the moment as she sighed to herself.
“What if I don’t want to let you go,” he whispered into her ear. He loved the way her checks flushed red in reaction to his words. She was more precious to him by the moment.
“Now—you two are making me blush just looking at you. Simon I think of Mandy as a daughter, so please don’t make me act like a protective dad. I don’t even need to remind you of the mating ceremony. This something I know her dad would have insisted on, even though it is a little old fashioned. It was one of those traditions which had gone by the way side. Teddy knew if he ever found his mate, then he would want to go through the ceremony himself. He would have to talk to Alpha Haven to see if they practiced it within his pack. If not it was about time they did!” Teddy thought.
“I think Teddy’s idea is perfect. In fact I am going to talk to Alpha Haven just as soon as we return my beautiful mate. Mandy would do me the honor of agreeing to a Mating Ceremony.” Simon asked. His hands were sweating like he was some young wolf.
“What exactly is a Mating Ceremony?” She asked.
“Well it is the Weir Communities form of a marriage. It is performed by the Alpha of the pack, and you exchange vows much like a human marriage. The only difference is the blood bonding which is at the end of the Ceremony. It is rumored when Mates are blessed by the Spirits with identical tattoos on each of the mates. Honestly, I haven’t seen one done since I was a boy. It is past time we took back this tradition.” Simon told her.
“It sounds so romantic. I would love to go through the Mating Ceremony with you.” Mandy told him with so much emotion shining in her silver eyes for the man before her.
For the rest of the evening they enjoyed each other’s company. Simon talked about his family and business back in California. Stopping to assure Teddy he was indeed happy to move his business here to Washington and make a home in Haven’s Pack. The evening flew by as the men got to know one another better. As both discovered they had a lot in common themselves and were on the way to becoming friends.
Mandy was so glad her best friend, and mate were getting along so well. They would all need each other in the coming months if her vision rang true. It was something she needed to think about before discussing it with anyone. She wanted to make sure it was indeed a true vision. Until Wolfe returned from his latest mission she wouldn’t know for sure. If she heard Haven right the other day, then he wouldn’t be back for several weeks.
For now though she would just enjoy her new-found love, and learn just what it meant to be a Shifter and a Seer. Her friend would fit right in with the guys, and she would let nature take its course. She wouldn’t mind a little romance herself, and she had no doubt Simon would show her just what it meant to be loved…

Chapter One of Forever Levi...
Please keep in mind this copy hasn't been edited.
Forever Levi
Prologue
Excerpt from Held Tight:
“Levi has been kidnapped!” Ramos shouted to Prince Braxton over the phone!
“Our cars were attacked by a dozen Rebels. Everyone started fighting and I told Levi to stay close to me. Of course, he refused. When we were all fighting, I was still keeping an eye on him. I saw a man come up behind him, but I couldn’t warn him. He pulled out a needle and thrust it into his neck. Then he went down like a ton of bricks. I’ve never seen anything like it. Then all the five of the Pack attacked me. Shit, there was nothing I could do but howl for my pack. Son of Bitch, I’m going to tear Trace apart when I get him in my hands.” Ramos swore!
“Shit, have you fully mated yet, and formed a link?” Braxton asked.
“No, he didn’t want to till he officially joined the pack. I’ll call an emergency meeting, and we’ll come up with a way to find him. Can I count on you?” Ramos asked.
“Of course we are! Now where are we meeting?” Braxton asked.
“Touch of Italy in fifteen.”
You can count on us….
Chapter 1
Prelude:
Levi thought back to the ambush they had just gone through. Someone had gotten the better of him. He had let someone sneak right up behind him. What kind of fighter am I? He thought back to everything as if it was happening all over once again…
Well Shit—it looks like all HELL had broken loose around them, Levi thought to himself. They were on the way back to Levi’s home, when out of nowhere several vehicles forced their vehicles off the road. It was well planned at a unavoidable place on the narrow road. There were only the two of them in Ramos truck. The SUV had the four usual guards.
Unfortunately, though the six of them where no match for the thirty or so Rebel Dogs who attacked in human and animal form. Ramos insisted Levi stay by his side, and he really wanted to do what his mate asked of him. He wanted nothing more than to help keep his mate safe, while he was by his side. It was impossible thing to ask though, as they were both quickly overwhelmed. In a matter of moments the Demon Dogs had put a considerable distance between the two of them.
Ramos was one HELL of a fighter, but even as strong as he was, the sheer numbers of the enemy were packed against him. Levi was holding his own against the two Demon Dogs; fighting hand to hand wasn’t new to him. All this time he was keeping an eye on his mate as well. Maybe the look on his mate’s face should have warned him of the danger approaching, but it didn’t.
Levi didn’t even see the man sneak up behind him or the huge needle until it pierced his neck. The effect was instantaneous, and he knew nothing more.
Until only the moments ago when he awoke in this room, and his mate was nowhere in sight. What the hell had happened?
Right now though he was playing possum, and his captor didn’t seem to be aware of his small advantage. Whatever, Shit —someone had given him some lethal stuff to him with a needle, no less. He had gone down, “like ton of bricks.”
Levi knew his mate was probably really pissed because he hadn’t listened to him. He couldn’t just stand there and let his mate defend them. Levi had jumped into the fighting, and quickly they had managed to put distance between him and his mate. Then he had felt pain in his neck, and the feeling of falling--then nothing.
The next thing Levi knew he was waking up in this strange place. As he watched the man across the room, he wasn’t anyone Levi had met before. He couldn’t move very much, he was strapped down on the table. Honestly, it wouldn’t have mattered how strong the straps were though. Whatever the man had given him, took away all of his vampire strength. He was as helpless as a new born baby.
For the first time he wished they had completed their bond instead of waiting until the Destiny Pack accepted him as the Alpha Supremes’ Mate. Levi had truly only been thinking of the Pack members reactions to a Vampire Alpha Mate. It would be hard enough winning their respect without it being forced down their throats. Shit—they hadn’t figured on him being kidnapped either…
Just what the FUCK was going on!
“Well- well my prisoner is finally awake. It is great to know the new experiment I’ve been working on, worked so well. Actually, better than even I dreamed it could! I just needed a Genie Pig to try it out on, and you fell right into my lap. When I overheard the Rebels in the pub, talking about taking down some Vampires I could miss out on the chance. So I followed them."
“Shit—I’m just glad I went. I might have missed the chance to further my research.” He told the helpless Vampire with a laugh. He was getting close to fulfilling his promise…
Levi did have an advantage it seemed. This crazy man didn’t seem to know he was Ramos’s fated mate. Levi just didn’t know what the man planned to do with him in the meantime. He was a little too eager to sample his “creations” on Levi. He reminded him of one of those Mad Doctors on television, who was willing to do anything in the name of science and learning.
Levi was a very smart man, but right at this moment it wasn’t doing him the least bit of good. He was stuck with no means of escape. When he looked over at his captor again, the man was once again filling up a large needle with a yellowish fluid. He released the drug into his IV only moments later. It was up to his mate to find him, was his last thought…
****
Steven watched the vampire go back to sleep after the shot. When he had started on the formula to incapacitate a vampire for his vengeance, he was determined more than anything to see if it could be done. So far he hadn’t taken the completed formula back to their Rebel Leader or “Boss” as he liked to be called. Something was holding him back, and damn-it for the life of him he didn’t know what it was. When he looked into the “Boss’s” eyes he could see the instability leering there. It was a look he knew well himself.
It was a part of himself he didn’t always like. The difference between right and wrong seemed to blur at times. Only the hate he felt for Vampires filled his soul, and kept this feeling so right. Steven and the Rebel Leader did have something in common. They had each lost family to the Vampires. Which led him to study medicine, and ultimately to where he was today…
