Alec.“Mate”Sadie and I say at the same time, both of us frozen in shock.Fuck! You’ve got to be fucking me. I feel like I’ve been hit by a boulder. Of all the people to be my mate, the savior of my pack, why did it have to be her?"No,” she snarled, pulling deep breaths into her lungs. “Just fucki
“Why you…” he goes to attack her, but she flings her hand, sending him flying and crashing against the wall behind us.“Well, that’s new,” she murmured, looking at her hands.Jason gets up, and Micah stops him before he can try to launch another attack on Sadie.“I’m not happy about this, and Alec i
Fuck! I did not see that coming. A sharp pain travels along my spine. I swear to the goddess, my legs almost give out.“Did you just reject me?” I asked in shock.I can’t fucking believe it. We managed to keep the news of Lola rejecting me between me, Jason, Micah, and the elders. If word ever got o
No one has ever managed to catch me off-guard, but Sadie has been doing it since I got here. The blows just kept coming one after another, and it was getting hard to keep up with all of them.“Y-you’re the Alpha?” Jason mumbles the words in disbelief.Even Micah looks as shocked as we were. I guess
Sadie.I stared at Alec, and I knew that something was working in his mind. It was quite clear that he didn’t like the fact that I was his mate, or the fact that I rejected him. To be honest, it puzzled me.He couldn’t hide the hate he has for me, and I hate him right back. So why the hell would he
My mind is trying to find out the reason behind his sudden shift. It must be something big. Something he has no control over. Something important enough to make him tolerate me as a mate. Well, that is, until he gets what he wants.The thing, though, is that I’m not the same gullible, naïve Sadie I
“W-what?” I could hear Raven stammer behind, but my mind was otherwise preoccupied.I’ve heard about shifting. We were taught about it. How it is painful because your bones are basically shifting, re-aligning themselves to those of a wolf.There’s always been excitement towards someone's first shift
Less than ten minutes, I get to where I want to be. It’s my spot. My calming spot. The only place in the pack where I can fully let go. The one place I come to think. It isn’t much, honestly. Nothing grand or out of this world beautiful, but there was a pond.Stepping into the open space, I start re
“Do you think?” she doesn’t have to finish the sentence. I know what she’s hinting at.Could it be that the veiled woman Calvin mentioned, and this masked one, are one and the same person?We had gone through the probability of the veiled woman being the one that was making the hybrid, but we never
"Man, she scares me," I heard Jason say behind me, making me smirk. "Remind me not to piss her off."When Micah came back with the torture tools, I got to work. He fought; he cursed, but none of that did anything to me. Nothing was going to stand in the way of me getting my answers.By the time I wa
“Sadie?” Raven's voice pulls me from my wandering mind. “Are you okay?”Am I okay? Definitely not.Alec managed to completely disarm me. Of course, I am not okay. What the hell am I supposed to do? I’d planned on how to deal with him because I knew how his mind worked, but now? Now, he changed the w
Alec and I look at each other, silently communicating. After a second or two, he pulls his eyes from mine and focuses on Aspen, who is holding on to him as if her life depends on it.I can see the struggle in his eyes. He doesn’t want to let go of her, but he also knows that questioning that hybrid
I stare at them, my mind racing at seeing them like this, the new discovery about Nyx temporarily forgotten. Aspen is chatting away like she’s known Alec her whole life. I can’t hear anything because my ears are ringing, but I can tell she’s probably entertaining him with stories of her adventure.A
“Who are the two girls?” I ask, fearing the answer she’ll give.“Me and my sister,” she whispers, brokenly.The air gets stuck in my throat as the words strike my already battered heart in a way I don’t understand. There is something just on the surface, but before I can fully grasp what it is, it d
I wake up a bit disoriented. My mind is a bit foggy and I can’t shake the tiredness that was weighing down my body.I hate it when this happens. You fall asleep finally, thinking that you’ll have the rest your body has been craving, only to wake up feeling more tired than you were the previous day.
I walked into my room and immediately went to the bathroom to take yet another shower. This one, unlike the previous one, was quick. I was hoping that I could wash away Alec’s burning stare and the dirt that came with dragging a hybrid through the forest. I managed to wash the dirt away, but not his
I drag the hybrid’s body, my mind full of unanswered questions. I couldn’t help thinking of the last two hybrids that attacked me and wondering whether these two incidents were somehow related.“What do you think?” I ask Nyx, not caring if the man I was dragging got hurt or not.He doesn’t really de
