Nora’s POV I ask Demi what is happening, desperate for answers. Nothing. I pry further, but to my utter confusion, she seems to be gone. No, not gone, I can still feel her presence inside me. She's just, asleep? Yes, that's it! She seems to be asleep like before. I sniff Sam's scent again. It's so peculiar, pleasant and fruity. What could it mean? Was Sylvia right, is he really my mate? If I weren’t so afraid and disoriented right now, the idea would fill me with joy. But at the moment, all I can think is how worried I wake up in this place. Goddess, why does this collapse happen twice to me? As I said, I am not the material to be an Alpha. Ethan, my parents, Demi and Charlotte are all wrong!! "Is she awake?" I sigh with relief at the sound of my uncle's familiar voice. My tension is eased by him, I guess. Ethan and Sylvia rush into the room, along with a professor who I swear I've seen before, but cannot quite place. Perhaps he taught a class I took before. "She passed out duri

Nora's POV "Wow, your hot uncle looks pissed ten ways to hell right now," Sylvia says into my ear. I have nothing to add to her observation. Ethan does look pissed ten ways to hell, and he looks pissed at me. "There's two types of people I hate," Ethan slides his phone in his pocket. "Deserters, and people who lie to me." I turn red with shame. "I'm so sorry..." I say meekly. “Oh, I bet you're sorry, Princess,” Ethan says. “Everyone’s always sorry once they get caught.” “I'm not sorry I got caught, I'm sorry I ran away,” I say. “I thought I told you I hate liars,” Ethan grits his teeth. “I'm not lying!” I say. In truth, I'm not sure if I'm lying. I am sorry I ran away, but I probably wouldn't be sorry I ran away if I hadn't been caught. "Because of you, now I'm stuck on this campus for much longer than I ever intended,” Ethan says. "What do you mean?" I gulp. "For your training, Princess," he says. "Training? This is a school, there's no place for us to train h

Nora's POV I wake up to my 4:30am alarm the next morning, feeling nothing but dread and aching pains. I find myself sleeping in my bedroom, and Sylvia still sleeps in that air-mattress on my bedroom floor. Okay, I sleep, or sink into a deep coma the whole day. Yesterday's training was brutal, I don't want to even imagine what Ethan has in store for me in the future. Groaning, I roll out of bed and shake Sylvia awake. "Bitch, get off me," she rolls over. "I'm trying to sleep." "Sylvia, I wanna get the fuck out of here," I whisper. "Let's sneak out and go back to school." "Are you serious?" Sylvia sits up and rubs her eyes. "Yes, I'm serious! Screw this alpha training, I can't take it." Sylvia looks at me sympathetically. "Alright, girly-pop, let's pack our shit." As quiet as possible, we get dressed and stuff our suitcases, tip-toeing down the staircase and out the front door of my family's house. "Stop!" Sylvia and I turn to see one of the guards on my family's

Nora’s POV I hide out in my bedroom, burrowed under the covers and thinking about Sylvia's words. I guess I never considered just how lucky I was, being elected as the next alpha of my pack. The level of responsibility sounds daunting, but in spite of my anxiety and general opposition to the matter, I can't help but feel just a little excited at the thought. Me? The alpha of the Blood Moon Pack? Knock knock. There is a sound at my bedroom door. "Come in," I say. To my dismay, Ethan opens the door and walks into my room. "Hey Princess," he sits on the edge of my bed. "What do you want," I reply coldly. "I've spoken to your parents," he begins. "And I think we've devised a pretty solid plan for your alpha training." Oh. Right. I was so caught up in appreciating my parents for choosing me as the next alpha, I forgot about the part Ethan's playing in my training. “How did you agree with this? Don’t you have your own things to do?” “Decided by my father and your parents

Nora’s POV "Try and recall where you were in the week before and who you spoke to. Then, you will find your mate...." Demi's words echo in my ears. In my mind, I trace back my steps over the last several days. I remember going to Alpha Aaron's son's party, then home, then back to school for some time. Fuck, that leaves with with a plethora of people to choose from. It's no bother, I think, I can narrow the possibilities down. I know whoever is my mate was not at the ceremony last night, so that eliminates a lot of young men from neighbouring packs. Perhaps my mate is a student at my college. Yes, I decide, that is the perfect place to start looking. I agree I run between school and home constantly these days, but as long as it works, I will continue to move in the direction of my heart. "Mama," I walk into the living room, where my mother is lounging on the couch and listening to music. "Can someone drive my back to school today?" "Today?" my mother sits up, stopping the r

Ethan’s POV The Moon Goddess has a funny way of going about things sometimes. And by “funny,” I mean sadistic. But I guess that’s just her sense of humour. I remember when my sister invited me to my niece’s 18th birthday party several weeks before. I wasn’t expecting anything particularly eventful, just a chance to see my sister and catch up with my niece. After all, I hadn’t seen the girl since she was just a little kid, maybe ten or eleven years ago? I don’t recall exactly. I decided to drop by Alpha Aaron's son’s party before visiting my sister. Alpha Aaron is a respectable figure, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to be familiar with him. Besides, the party was on the way to my sister’s place anyway. That ended up being the worst mistake of my fucking life. I remember having drinks and making small talk with Alpha Aaron's son, a fine young man, much like his father, when my wolf picked up on the most enticing scent. I followed it into an upstairs room, where, in the darknes
