Chapter: Chapter Twenty-seven: A Familiar Stranger Kendra relaxed back on the bed like a cat lazing under the afternoon sun as she listened to her sister converse with their mother. “Where are you, Adira?” Luna Grace asked from the other side of the phone, her voice tinged with concern. Many eyes watched her intently, waiting to hear about the whereabouts of the Alpha family’s youngest. Knowing her whereabouts could provide insight as to where the other kids disappeared. Neither the Alpha youngest nor her friends could be found in the dinner set in her honor, and her parents are worried and keen to know where their offspring jetted off to. Adira stole another look at her eldest sister, wondering if the brunette cared if their mother knew where she was. They were actually in the middle of something, and Adira would like to get back to it. “I am fine, Mum, don't worry about me.” She ended the call before her mother could say another word. “Where is she?” Alpha Conor demanded as soon as his mate got off the phone. The older

Chapter: Chapter twenty-six: Blowing hot and coldAdira blinked in shock when she saw the blood dripping down her sister's body. You are hurt! She exclaimed, running to her sister without a second thought. When she got to her, she bent toward the wound to inspect why it was bleeding. "What happened?" She asked worriedly, her slender fingers tracing the edges of the newly opened wound. Kendra flinched from the warm touch on her skin, not because she was in pain but because of the warmth that traveled over her body at Adira’s touch. Thinking her sister was in pain, Adira quickly withdrew her hand and stared up at her, her green eyes radiating warmth and concern. "Does it hurt?" She asked innocently, unaware of the battle raging within her sister as she fought to control her desire. Adira gasped audibly at the quick transformation of Kendra’s eyes. The blue orbs looked fiery and tinged with gold. It wasn't just Kendra anymore, but her wolf as well. The hunger she glimpsed in her sister’s eyes sparked a flame of desire between Adir

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-five: Tension in the roomAdira tried to be calm as her family and friends celebrated her and Jake's mateship, but she felt so uncomfortable inside that even Snow paced restlessly in her mind. It felt so wrong, the whole thing. Adira flew to her feet, unable to cope anymore with her guilt. Eyes turned to her, curious. The Alpha heir looked agitated, and everyone wanted to know what was bothering the young woman. “Honey, what is wrong?” Luna Grace asked the question, which echoed in everyone's mind. “I am fine, Mum.” Adira flashed a teeth grin at her mother that didn't reach her eyes. “But I need some fresh air.” Adira hurried out of the room before her mother or anyone else could say another word, leaving everyone glancing at each other, wondering what was wrong. Adira's friends all got serious about eating the food before them. None wanted anyone to ask them what was wrong with their friend as they couldn't answer. Jake got up as well and followed Adira out, further worsening everyone’

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-four: A party in their honorJake encountered his friends before he and his father got to the door. He excused himself from the beta to speak to his friends, who did the same with their families. “Do you know what this is all about?” Nate asked, slipping his hands into his pockets. Like Jake, he had a suit on, though he let the buttons of the red shirt under the black suit run free a few buttons down, exposing his neck tattoos. Night surrounded the friends; the only illumination was the stars littering the sky. Jake shook his head with a clueless expression. “Mum just told me to get dressed and that we are having dinner here.” he shrugged his broad shoulders. As they talked, Meredith drove in and parked beside the other cars in front of the Pack House. She stepped down from the car and walked toward the boys in heels. She has yet to notice them, but the boys did. Nate stiffened at the sight of Meredith, which didn't escape the notice of his friends. “Dude, what is going on between you two?” Dylan

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-three: A New Friend in the ParkNate slipped the phone back into his phone and let out a tired sigh. He didn't want to deal with his friends, especially her. He took a step to continue his work, only to run into someone. He reacted quickly and caught the person before they could fall. He started to apologize even before he knew who he held. “I am so…” Nate stopped abruptly when he saw a pair of twinkling green eyes belonging to a stunning face with a crown of gorgeous red hair. He lost his train of thought, which the red hair in his arms found amusing. "Are you gonna let me go?" she teased, a beautiful smile playing across her lips. Nate’s face assumed the same color as his hair. “Of course,” he said shyly, letting the girl go like she was hot. She is hot—something every part of Nate acknowledges. The girl exudes unwavering confidence and seems to find Nate attractive as well. “Gloria.” she stretched her hand to Nate. “N-Nate,” Nate stammered, shaking the girl’s hand while kicking himself inside for ac

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-two: You messed up Outside her sister's room, Adira rested against the wall, her head raised, her eyes closed as she blinked back the tears that filled her eyes. She won’t cry, she thought strongly, her fingers folding into a fist. She gave herself a few seconds to gather her composure, then leaned off the wall and headed toward the lift, determined to forget what happened in her sister’s room. Jake paced like a caged animal as he and his friends waited for Adira to join them. Dylan sat at the driver’s side, the door open, his feet outside, and his ears plugged, his attention flicking between his pacing best friend and his phone. He tried to get Jake to calm down, but Jake ignored him like he was invisible. The dark boy is worried about the repercussions of his actions, and no matter how often he tells himself that Adira is not mad, he feels double the amount he is deluding himself. He might be a foot taller than the blonde, but the blonde, when angry, scares the shit out of him, and he is
