Christian POV
I can finally get a good look at the mystery girl. She is about 5'8", long red curly hair, blue/grey eyes. She has a very thin body but no doubt that it she filled out a little she would have a knock out body! She is gorgeous to say the least. When our eyes meet I feel this warm flutter in my belly. I smirk at the way she is eyeing me. "Are you done checking me out?"
She quickly looks away and looks at the floor. "Sorry."
She looked so adorable acting all shy and all. I see that she is bout to leave and I can't figure it out but I just have this urge to get to know her better. "Don't be, I like it when a gorgeous woman checks me out!" I can't help but flash her a smile. I can tell that she is hiding something that is causing her pain but all I really want is to see what she looks like when she smiles.
When she returned the smile. I get the breath knocked out of m

Rae POVI was momentarily frozen by fear at the sight of Neil in front of me. Tha uneasy feeling intensified tenfold. There was this little voice in th ebck of my head warning me that I should run. Of course I didn't listen becuase I knew what would happen the moment he caught me! He ALWAYS caught me, there seemed to be nowhere in Helio that I could hide which is why I needed to move to another town or tate out of his reach."Ginny I think that its time we head home...don't you?" Neil feigned concern for the sake of my friends.I saw right through his act though. I wanted to tell him no but all my friends were staring at me and they were unaware that they were in immediate danger! So I did the only thing that I could, I nodded in agreement. "Yes Neil, I will go home."He grasped my left elbow. "Thats my good girl." He whispered into my ear as he pulled me to his truck.
Braxton POV I have been sitting iin my office since I saw my Gamma adn warriors off to escort Alpha Kentwood and his daughter back to the Golden Sun Pack territory. I made sure that Christian understood that he was to keep my Beta and myself updated on anything that happened on his way there. My wolf and I couldn't wait for Tammy to leave our territory! That bitch was too much to deal with! Good fucking ridence to that kray kray bitch! I couldn't stand her, I feel very sorry for the Alpha though. Duece informed me. Why do you feel sorry for him? I was genuinely curious. He has to dal with her crazy ass all the time! I couldn't help but laugh at his comment. I was feeling quite good as my Beta and best friend knocked on my office door. "Enter." "Alpha." He bowed in respect. "Do you have news from Christian?" I ask as he sits op
Christian's POVI was down by the back door to the pack house soon after I messaged Rollings about the little situation we had. "Everyone ready? I don't want to be out all night so lets get this over wiht so we can inform Alpha Kentwood on all the things that will undoubtadly need to be fixed." I say as I look around to make sure that I had those individuals that I requested."Yes, Gamma, we are ready!" A young man says."Alright gentlemen, lets get to it!" We all stripped and shifted. I howled then took off to lead the run around the territory. It had only taken about 15 minutes due to the area being so small. We arrived back at the pack house and shifted then dressed. I was already making a mental list of all the things that needed to be fixed or initiated when I felt a stabbing pain inside my chest. Some thing was happening, something very bad! Duece, do you know what is happe
Virginia POVI have always believed that my life was supposed ot be ona different path. Since I can remember I have felt out of place in this world. My mom always supported whatever beliefs that I had. We had a very close bond, that was until I turned sixteen. I never knew who my father was, he was never in the picture and my mom never talked about him. It had always just been the two of us. When I was eight my mom met my now stepfather, Neil Carrington. At first he was awesome, always treated my mom wonderfully and included me in almost everything they did. We had road trips, andventures, family meals it felt like an actual family...finally. So when Neil asked my mom to marry him and asked for my permission, I jumpd at the chance to have someone in my life I would be able to call dad.Unfortunately I was unprepared for how wrong I was about Neil and his intentions. about six months after my mom and Neil marri
Virginia POV"MOM!" I scream as I am staring at the car that is engulfed in flames in horror. I try to run to it but I am being held in place by heavy chains and all I can do is to watch as I stop hearing her screams! Just as I am about to blackout from the trauma of having to watch my mom burning to death trapped in a car I am jerked awake by something connecting, hard to my jaw! I jolt up into a sitting position on my bed. I look around slowly while I hold my jaw. I freeze when I see my abuser staning a little too close to my bed. He is clencning and unclenching his left hand as I see bruises begin to shadow his knuckles from the contact it made to my jaw.I manage to work out the soreness in my jaw by flexing it from side to side. "What can I do for you this morning, Neil?" I ask calmly, by now I know the drill. I need to not piss him off, which has become increasingly more difficult lat
Braxton POVI woke up this morning feeling a bit anxious but couldn't figure out why. Jackson, what's with all the pacing? You are not helping my nerves at the moment. Jackson just grumbled and blocked the link. I was confused by his behavior but pushed it aside as I hopped in the shower. My beta and gamma were meeting me in my office in about an hour to go over the new trainees we have to place. Then we need to discuss my little side project that I hope will help increase the profit for the pack. For the past couple of years my pack, The Shimmering Falls Pack, has been thriving under my rule as Alpha. They make me a very proud Alpha and I'm hoping that with my side project it will help all of the soon to be warriors get in shape.I shower and head down to breakfast, Doris has been the pack cook for many years, she is almost like a nana to me. I walk aroudn the corner to see her just putting
Braxton POV Rollings and Christian quickly came to my side as I stood from the table to face my fathers worl. "How dare I? How dare you AND mother! You are NOT the Alpha anymore and yet you both still think that you can make decisions for ME!" I boomed, Jackson was pushing his way to the front and I let him just a little so that I still had enough control to reign him in if the need should arise. My father was shaking with fury. "You were told that you HAD to find a mate by your twentieth birthday or forfeit the title!" I stepped closer to him and saw that my mother quickly came up behind her mate to help calm his temper. I stared at him in the eyes, showing him that I will not bow down. "I NEVER agreed to any such deal! I would never settle for any woman that is not MY MATE!" I looked to Alpha Roger before I continued. "Alpha Roger if you wish to make an alliance with Shimmering Fal

Virginia POV I can't help but hug her, Devon and her have been together since junior year. He was really good to her and I could feel sadness in my heart knowing that I will never have anybody or that kind of love. I mean what guy would want to be with someone with so much baggage and is ultimately broken? "Mandy, I am so happy for you and Devon!" She smiles and tucks her hair behind he left hear and that is when I see the ring! I am staring at her, shocked. She sees me and blushes and Chey and Paulette notice what I am gaping at. "BITCH!" Chey yells and yanks Many's left hand across the table. "How could you NOT tell us? When did he pop the question? When is the wedding? Who is the Maid-of-Honor?" Paulette just smiles and congratulates Mandy. I notice sadness cross her face briefly. I make a mental not to ask about that later. Mandy giggles at Chey. "
Virginia POV I always thought that my mom would be here for my graduation day but fate had another plan that left my life in hell! I can't help but think about how things have changed in my life as I wait for my name to be called to receive my diploma. Had my mother not died I wouldn't be living in fear of my step-dad on a daily basis. I just really miss her, she has always been my rock and now I have no one but myself to lean on. I am brought back to reality when I hear my friends names being called. I smile at knowing that they are my besties but guilt creeps in at the knowledge that none of them know that things have gotten worse with Neil. I don't like keeping things from them but I know that if they found out Neil will take it out on me and I know for a fact that nothing will be done to him. I learned that lesson the hard way. I want to tell them about what happened to me this morning but I can't mostly beca
