KATE"No, she isn't!" Timothy growled out and Lindon held up his hands in mock defeat, but he was still leering at me.I felt sick to my core."Do you think you were rightfully punished and that your punishment fit the crime?"Lindon shrugged at my questions and thought about it for a second."I mean, yeah my career progression is stagnant and I'll never be able to live up to my full potential, which I've been told is fair. I'll never be able to have my own breeder and have any other children, which isn't fair because I don't get to see my only son. That woman is favoured more."He glared slightly at his Alpha before turning his head away."So, you admit to the first rape, mainly due to your child, and you agree you've been justifiably punished and punished perhaps a bit much, according to you; so, if you could choose something to change about your punishment, what would it be?""I'd like to see my child, have custody and get to get my own breeder. I don't care about my career progres
KATE I felt his hand slide up my under my shirt and cup my breast. I was still groggy from my sleep and groaned as I woke up, which just spurned Lindon on more. He unhooked my bra from the back and then pinched my nipple. He was sort of hanging over me, leering. The pinch woke me up with a start and that was when I took in a deep breath, taking in Lindon's scent. I growled out and Lindon just chuckled. "Oh, hush kitten, you know you want this." He purred and that made me snap. I had never learnt any control over my wolf as she had been so pushed down for so many years and before I knew what was happening, I had shifted. My wolf was pissed and all she saw was red. Lindon was a little shocked for a moment and then he shifted too. He was bigger than I was and he was a dark colour, like his hair. He had bright eyes and they looked menacing. He braced his feet and growled at me, trying to get me to submit, but I beared down and growled back, warning him to go away. He stalked towards
KATEWe'd been jumping from pack to pack for months now; some of them had turned us away due to what Tamara had said, despite what I explained to them, but about 80% of them were happy to hear from me and get to know me. Most of them let me talk to their breeders and I heard a lot of the same that I had heard back in Alpha Reed's pack. Word had spread about me by the time I got to the packs and most people were fascinated by me. Seeing more breeders made me really iron out what I wanted to put before the council.1) Breeders are treated as the lowest of the low, yet we require them for the survival of our species. We should be treating them with a bit more reverence and respect and more laws should be handed down by the council, not by Alpha discretion. Below are some laws I wish to implement:a) Breeders should be more protected compared with what they currently have, which is nothing2) These protection laws would include:b) Any molestation or rapes of breeders should be treated mo
"Kate, baby, come on and wake up." Timothy said softly to me as he stroked my bare back.I groaned as I buried my face into the pillow. I heard him chuckle and kiss my shoulder. He stroked my back with feather light touches. "Come on baby, we need to get going.""Where?""Alpha Tanus has agreed to meet with us today. We need to go to his pack."I groaned again as I knew that this was the Alpha that Timothy had been dying to meet more than anyone else. He wanted answers about me and Alpha Tanus was the oldest Alpha alive. He was around during the last Originals time and apparently is the last Originals grandson. Alpha Tanus, although still called Alpha Tanus is not a real Alpha anymore; his son took over about 75 years ago.Timothy chuckled at my actions and I felt the weight in the bed lessen as he got up. I thought this meant that he was going to leave me be, but then I felt the comforter yanked off my body and the cool air attack my whole, naked body. I gasped and my eyes instantly
LILY"Hey Mabel, wait up!" I shout; struggling to catch up to my best friend's quick pace.Mabel whipped her long, straight blond hair around as she turned to face me. Her light blue eyes narrowed in on mine, indicating she's in no mood to wait long. I rushed over to be by her side, flashing her a bright smile along the way. She rolled her eyes at me and turned to continue walking once I took my place beside her."Where are you headed?" I asked as we hurried down the long hall.Mabel sighed with annoyance and rolled her eyes before giving me an answer. "Lando wants me to change," She mumbled lowly, but I still heard her."Why?" I asked; turning my head just enough to shoot her a look of confusion."Because he thinks my skirt's too short," She answered with a 'duh' tone to her voice.I turned my head to her more and scanned her body. She had on a bright purple 'U' necked shirt, with a laced pink flowered skirt. It reached her mid thigh and I couldn't understand why he though it was too
LILY"No, stop! Just listen," Cecille pleaded and my temper dropped down a notch. "I stepped over the treaty line and I bumped into my mate. The only reason I went over is because something was calling to me; I could feel him near. Anyway, him and I are together now and I'm joining Red Moon's Pack next week!"My mouth dropped again at her words. "You're leaving Dark Moon Pack?" I whispered to her, not wanting it to be true."Yeah, but I'll still visit!" She smiled sheepishly at me, but I wasn't buying it."Cecille, have you told my brother yet?" Her face dropped and I could tell that was a no. "You have to tell him!""About that..." Her voiced trailed off momentarily while she gathered her thoughts again. "I was kind of hoping that you would talk to him for me," She dropped her eyes to the ground and she gave a worried smile in my direction."Cecille!" I whisper/shouted to her, so no unwanted listeners could hear. "My brother hates mates! How in the world do you expect me to talk some
LILY"Mabel, Mabel!" I screamed, running down the hall in a full sprint to tell my best friend the best news in the world."What?!" She chuckled, poking her head out of the door to her room."It's Timothy!" I must have been smiling like an idiot, because Mabel was giving me a weird look as she held back a full on laugh."What about your brother?" She questioned, stepping out of her room in skinny jeans and the same purple shirt from before.I stopped running and leaned against Mabel to catch the small bit of breath I lost before answering. "He said I can sit in on his meeting with the Red Moon pack!" I practically jumped for joy while telling her and she began to laugh again, but didn't do as well of a job to hold it back as she did before."Seriously? You get to sit in on a boring meeting. What could possibly be so awesome about that?" She narrowed her eyes as she stopped her giggles."Because there will be unmated males there!" I squeaked with a smile spread wide across my face agai
LILYThe week leading up to our packs meeting with the Red Moon pack seemed to fly by. I spent most of my time with Mabel and Cecille getting ready in every possible way. I wanted this to be perfect and show Timothy that I could in fact act properly around unmated males without anything bad happening. I've waited so long for a day like this and I'd rather die than let not anything ruin it for me.I jumped off my bed in a hurry and grabbed the longest skirt I could find in my dresser. I figure going with the long one is the safest choice, beings it's too hot to wear something like jeans in the spring. The red layers flowed gracefully around my legs, ending at the bottom of my knees. To match it, I put on a brown string sleeved tank top with a gold belt wrapping tightly around my waist. As I began to slip on my gold flats, someone knocked on my door."Who is it?" I sang, practically skipping over to open the door. It was more than obvious that I'm overjoyed by the fact I'll be around un
"Lily!" A voice shouted, pulling me from my sleep and forcing me to wake up."What?" I mumbled, hoping the person would shut up or just go away."You have to get dressed, I was ordered to have you ready an hour ago!" The voice exclaimed, running around the room and knocking things over in the process."By who?" I asked, opening my eyes slowly and letting them adjust to the light.Once I could see clearly, I noticed Rowena frantically moving around to get stuff in order. She held clothes in her hands and a few baskets were on the dresser. I sat up straight, yawning and trying to get myself together for her sake."Alpha Denver will have my head if you aren't downstairs in twenty minutes," Rowena yelled, throwing the clothes at me. "Here, put these on now!" She ordered, her yellow eyes expressing how scared out of her mind she is.Before I could ask her anything or even get another word out, she rushed out of the room. I like Rowena and watching her as a nervous wreck doesn't sit well wi
I woke up wrapped in the arms of another, their heat radiating off their skin and onto mine. I could feel their hot breath against the back of my exposed neck, sending chills throughout my entire body. My body was pressed tightly to theirs and the light struggle I made to move away caused a low growl to vibrate through their chest. As weird as it was for that person to make that type of sound in reaction to me moving away, it also made me feel strangely safe and warm. I slowly lifted my eyelids to take in the room around me. Darkness consumed every corner of the room, giving away nothing as to what's hiding within it. I cocked my head to the side in attempt to see the sleeping person beside me. Although the darkness hid the room, it couldn't hide the one man I've come to know oh so well over the past few days-Denver; my mate. Seeing him laying there so calm and innocent made my heart swoon for him, but I know that's not even close to the feelings I should be having. He's the man who
I can't take this anymore. I'm cut off from everyone and everything. I haven't seen Leon, he hasn't come down since before. People I don't know have been giving me food, dirty looks, then proceed to walk away. How could Denver run a place like this? You're not treated as an equal and I couldn't imagine staying in this pack. I miss my old pack, at least you were treated with respect- well, except for me of course.Why do I always have to be the person who gets crap all the time? I hate everyone and everything in this place! I must sound really whiny and over dramatic, but it's genuinely how I feel.I've been hurt so much over these past few days down here. Denver gave notice to some people that I am not in fact his 'true mate'. A guy I noticed from the meeting before came down to feed me and when I asked him about all of this, his only reply was that I've been rejected. It hurt like hell to hear that, but I guess I saw that one coming all along.I cried out as I banged my back against
I sat in the cell crying for hours. No one came around; no one checked on me. I was left all alone to sit there, crying over a man who I thought was supposed to love me. I hate to admit Timothy is right, but he is. He warned me this would happen, but I didn't listen. I hope he can forgive me, I want nothing more than to just go home.Sadly, my mate turned out to be crap. Denver thinks he can make me act and talk exactly how he wants. He thinks he controls me and that keeping me down here will give him more power. The truth is, it does. The longer I'm down here, the more broken I feel. I can't believe that my own mate played me. He talks down to me and has no care in the world for how I feel.This wasn't supposed to be like this, it was supposed to be magical. I was supposed to have a mate who would sweep me off my feet, love me no matter what and always take care of me. I guess you can't always get what you want and right now I'm not even sure I even know what I need.I just want to l
"Lily, is it true then? Did Alpha Denver leave Miss Winter for you; his mate?" Rowena questioned me with confused, grey eyes."Miss Winter?" I retorted, not at all recognizing the name."Winter, Alpha Denver fiance... The girl you just told off?" She asked, looking at me with a puzzled stare."Oh, that's her name? Well I've only ever heard of her, but I guess it makes sense..." I trailed off."Makes sense?" Rowena pressed, not liking my vague attitude.I shrugged my shoulders, not really liking the idea of going into details with her. "I don't know, it's just that with her kind of personality it's more than obvious why your Alpha left her."I know that Denver and I aren't in the best of places, but that chick is crazy! She got all worked up over the fact her Alpha found his mate. I know some people treasure power and all that, but to me it seems like a complete waste of time.Rowena's mouth dropped open at my words. Her eyes flickered to a pale shade of white, practically bugging out
LILYI stayed put in the room, afraid to go anywhere else and encounter strange and unfriendly people. I can't believe Denver just left like that, did I do something wrong? He's been gone for so long and I don't know if I should go search for him, or just hang out in here until he comes looking for me.It took me some time to calm down after everything that happened between us. I can't help but feel guilty; almost like it was all my fault he reacted that way. I'm just not ready to go that far with someone; mate or not. Denver's voice keeps replaying in my mind. Every time I shut my eyes, he's there in my head. All I see are his beautiful blue eyes gazing lovingly into mine, then switching back and forth to something entirely different. I need to see him, I need him to come back for me! I can't sit here and wait any longer. I can't just wait to see if he hates me or not; it's eating at me too much!"I'm sorry Madam, I didn't see you," A voice called from the other side of the room.I j
LILYTorin walked down many hallways with me hanging over his shoulder. Lots of people stopped to take a look at me- mostly guys. Whenever a girl would stop I would get a dirty look, but when a guy would stop, eyes of lust were directed my way. I bent around to see that my shorts had ridden up to exposed the bottom half of my ass.There it was, half of it hanging out in all its glory for everyone to see. On top of that, my white cotton shirt keeps going up from me being hung upside down. No wonder guys keep looking at me like that; I'm practically half exposed! I just hope Torin walks quicker so I can just see my brother, apologize and get the hell out of here."In here please," A voice guided Torin into a room, stepping in with me over his shoulder still. "The Alpha will be here momentarily," And like that, a pair of doors shut and left us alone.I bit my lip nervously at the thought of how this is going to go. Timothy will hopefully see me exposed, kill Torin and then proceed to loc
LILYLetting go of the tree to face the voice. A tall man stood near the trees, his long black hair shining under the moonlight. I scanned his body up and down and decided I have no chance with taking this strong, scary man on. His black eyes bore into mine and I felt frozen with fear just looking at the man."What's your name?" His question came out more like a demand with his cold, deep voice.I took a gulp, trying to get my thoughts together and open my mouth, but I couldn't. I stood there dumbfounded by him and my mind couldn't pull anything out to say. I just stared at him with wide eyes and a shaky body.He smiled at the sight of my fear and I cringed as he took a few steps forwards. "You're far from your pack Lily Shaw," He spoke, inching closer and closer to me.My mouth dropped in shock. "H-how do you know w-who I am?" I asked with a shaky, breathless voice. My body still recovering from all the uncommon exercise I forced on it.Stopping only inches away from my body, he lean
LILY"Lily!" Mabel squealed through my mind link."Ugh, what?" I asked her, more than annoyed from being confined in this tiny room that seems to grow smaller with each passing day.I've been stuck in this room for four days, ten hours and 8 minutes and I've completely lost it. I do nothing all day, but sit here and play with make up or something. I have no television, cell phone; not even a laptop or computer. Timothy thinks I'll look into something or get ideas, but I honestly think he wants me to go crazy."You found your mate?!" Mabel questioned, her voice filled with joy and excitement."I don't wanna talk about it," I mumbled back to her, hoping that's good enough for her to back off."No! Lando told me what happened, but where have you been?" She asked with worry."Look Mabel, I'm done. Love, mates, everything like that is just out the window... I give up," I sighed, losing my last bit of pride left as I explained to my best friend how weak I truly am.Mabel was silent for awhi
