~~Stephanie
Becoming Beta Female was no easy feat. The first week was hellacious.
Half of the male shifters hated me because I was a woman. A woman as a beta or alpha was still relatively a new thing. I mean the USA just got their first female vice president last election. Everyone is seriously behind the times.
The Gamma is in charge of the training and when I try to set stuff up for the pack he completely ignores me. Grayson gets super angry but I tell him not to use his Alpha command on anyone because I want them to respect me and not his words.
The boys are still in daycare everyday. I pick them up in the afternon and head home to take care of the house and the farm. I only eat at the pack house when Grayson and Marissa do.
Today is a particularly busy day. I have to hold a meeting between our top warriors, our Gamma, and Grayson. Grayson is letting me take charge of this meeting so I can get a better handle on our fucking Gamma. Even worse our
~~StephanieI have been doing my Beta job for 4 fucking months. 4 months of mind numbing paperwork and people complaining. Yeah you saw that right.COMPLAINING.Complaining about everything. From the toilet paper in the pack house to the "annoying" cobblestone road in the middle of our small town.I rolled my eyes at the request of getting it removed. Freaking whiny ass people. No wonder Dom needed his poker face. I, on the other hand, have no poker face. When that lady complained about the toilet paper, I laughed.I laughed directly to her face.Grayson wasn't too happy, but at the same time he thought it was ridiculous too.
~~Stephanie Time passes very quickly when you are a single mom. All your time and energy is put in to your kids, your job, and laundry. Laundry does not end. Especially having boys. As you can tell I'm still alone. Dom never came home. Theo and Gregory still check on me. They haven't been back lately though. Saying they were busy trying up lose ends from Dom's last mission with them. I have slowly gotten back to being me. Well as much as I could. I'm almost 21 now. No one ever found my mate. No word after the first year and a half slowly turned into Grayson wanting to do that plaque/funeral. I'm not going to lie. It helped me grieve. But it never took care of the feeling that I
~~Dom When I found myself at our property line 3 days ago I could only watch. My little one was so close and I was so afraid of her being mad at me that I stayed in that spot. She looked small. She had lost a lot of weight. But she looked beautiful regardless. Her brown hair reached her ass now and her black rimmed glasses donned her face everyday now and not just when she was reading. The boys were huge. Blonde hair bounded through the fields, the flower beds, and the house. They were so loud. I heard everything in the house. I heard them laughing, their running, their screaming, their fighting, and the love they gave her. Then I would hear her. A soft voice when she needed to and then a firm scary mom voice when they were
6 years agoI sat in my living room with my parents. Breaking news had just alerted my dad after dinner. My mom's friends were all calling the house phone over and over. If that was happening all the women in the neighborhood knew something my mother didn't.Which was not allowed.My mother was the biggest know-it-all in our entire town. I really wanted to get my phone privileges for the night, my best friend and I needed to discuss a certain boy in our English class. Tall, brown hair, dark skin, brown eyes, AKA the most popular boy in school. And he talked to me today in the hallway!Why couldn't my parents understand this was way more important than some breaking news?When I entered the living room with my brownie as dessert, my mom was crying for some reason. My mom is a drama queen so I didn't think much of it and shifted my attention to the TV. I sat on the couch as my mom sat next to my Dad on their chairs. I just really wanted to watch the
Chapter 2~~DominicAs I watched my mate dance with her friends, I didn't know much about her but I felt the need to protect her. To protect what is now mine in a caveman sense. Her body swayed with the music. I didn’t miss how others looked at her. If she had my mark on her no one would even take a second glance unless they wanted their throat torn out. I grumbled at a few of the party attendees looking at her. They glanced at me sideways but otherwise left her alone. I couldn’t stop staring at her though.She was free with no care in the world but her makeshift family and close friends.Complete and utter opposite of who I am. Always guarded and ready for anything. I blame the military and war. But why would Arto place me with her? I can't deny her beauty. But is she what I need in my life? With my life changing at all times, would she be able to handle it too?As I looked over by the stairs staring at her, I caught the attention of m
~~StephanieMy parents were alive.How in the hell did they survive everything?Why didn't they come for me?Would I even want them to come for me at this point?All of these questions swirled around in my head. Regardless of our differences in how they see the world, they were still my parents. They still raised me and I didn't know who they truly were until I was 12. They didn't abuse me. They still loved me even though we didn't agree on much.But my mate.What if they found out I had a mate? They would be so angry at me. For something that has already changed how I feel in a matter of a few days. I don’t even know if I would want to see them or talk to them if I were given the chance. They turned into horrible people who didn’t have the views of the people that raised me. I was raised on love and acceptance but when it was knocking on our front door my parents changed who they were and what they stood for in life.
~~Stephanie The click of the lock made me shudder. I knew what I wanted and I have been wanting it since the day I met him. This mate bond wasn't letting down or fading off. It got stronger every second of every day. Every moment I spent with him made it harder to resist him. His lips were sinful and I would confess all day long if it meant I got to kiss him. I needed this. I needed him. I couldn’t take this back and forth anymore. I needed to be alone with him and show him that I wanted this. I was terrified in the beginning because it was all new, but it didn't matter anymore. All that mattered were the two of us and completing the mating bond. I turned to look at him, his eyes were almost fully black as he licked his lips. His blonde hair tousled from running his hands through it showing his frustration. "Hey Yano...wanna come play?" I asked deeply. His growl gave me all the permission I needed to jump in to his arms. My han
~~Stephanies POV Marissa was an orphan just like me. We had run into each other 4 or 5 times over the past few years. She was always so sweet, but I hadn't seen her in about 2 years. I had feared the worst, but was so excited to find out she was mated with the Alpha of our new pack. But could I even call myself an orphan anymore? I had a family. Just not in the same sense of a good mom and dad. I had Dom, his mom, Marissa, and maybe even the Alpha on good days.

~~Stephanie I stared at the two men in front of me. They had just exited the SUV after coming through my gate at the house. The two worn down men both looked at each other before turning their attention on me. "Theo? Where is he?" I asked softly. My voice getting louder with each word. "Oh sweetie." He whispered, his voice only holding sympathy in its tone. Both of them in front of me were marred with scars, a broken leg, and 2 broken arms between both of them. Huge gashes on both of their foreheads made it even worse. They were all stitched, bandaged, wrapped, and scarred. Whatever had happened had definitely not happened the way they thought it would.
A/N Some violent ~~Dom It was dawn and we were all getting ready to shift. I stood there staring out in the distance. Something's wrong. Yano growls in the back if my mind. I know. But she's in good hands. I roll my eyes at his antics. As time goes hy the mate bond suffers but my little one is strong. Not her. She will be ok. It's us. Yano barks out. Why us? We are almost done and then we can go home. I question him. Yano has been restless all night which means I
~~Stephanie The next morning came too quickly. I didn't sleep at all. Bags under my eyes and the caffeine restrictions were a major pain in my ass these days. And for the highlight of today my lovely babies have chosen back pain for today's inconvenience. And it hurts like hell. All good though. I can push through and make it. Last day of school too. Thank God. I don't move around a lot today, the faculty gave me a small baby shower in the teachers lounge. Reese included. Him and I only talk at work lately. Probably because he knows he screwed up big time. I can't trust him and I have too much going on to deal with his drama. I have never been one for drama and I get later in this pregnancy my bullshit monitor is always at an all time high.
~~Stephanie "Pumpkin! Mousse!! Stop fighting over that damn ball!!!" I yelled at two of my dogs. They whined and came into the kitchen to wait on their dinner. "I Prevail" played in the background on the speakers in my kitchen as I moved around the kitchen slowly. I "sang" along with the song as I made dinner for everyone. My stomach was huge and I was growing more tired everyday. It was definitely a struggle to move around my stomach these days. Sometimes I didnt even try. Every day was a new adventure for me though. I didn't know what new pains would be going on or where my body would aching. My feet were swollen all the time and I constantly took baths to relax. I was getting closer and closer to my due date. Yes, pregnancy is
~~Dominic I stare out at the valley below us. A few hidden spots in the woods had humans running through them. Some of them were women and children. We needed to make sure we attacked the right group. So far it had been easy to get through these groups. We had a few scratches, broken bones, and the start of some scars to prove we had been victorious so far. One of my new scars on my human body actually matched Yanos on his eye and I have a rather large one on my back. I wasn't focused in that fight. It's been 3 months and I haven't spoken to Stephanie. Marcus mind links his wife every few days with an I love you. It's very quick and never long enough for a reply. But I'm too afraid to even do that.
