"What are you thinking about?" Dylan asked, as he clasped his hand around mine.Hmm... That seemed like a good sign."Why are we out here?" I asked, looking around at the tall trees surrounding us.Dylan continued walking, practically ignoring my question."We'll take longer to get there since we're walking." He replied by changing the subject.The rest of the walk to the lake was quiet. I didn't feel like making conversation and Dylan was deep in thought.Once we arrived at the lake, I'd basically come to terms with the idea of Dylan leaving me. It hurt like hell to think about it, but if that was what he wanted- I would accept it.After all I had put him and the pack through, I deserved to be banished."The water looks nice," I said, dropping Dylan's hand and making my way closer to the water.The sun was high up in the sky, hitting the lake at a perfect angle to make it glitter whenever small currents moved the water."It does," Dylan agreed.He came to my side and put his arm over
I had just made it to the lake when Dylan pounced on me.'You're a cheater, you know that?' I asked him through my mind.'You have been yelling that. It doesn't make it true,' Dylan replied.He was nuzzling his head in my neck. Our fur was such a contrast to each other. While his Wolf was entirely black, mine was white.The only color in my body was from my four paws, which were lightly tinted in black. Other than that, I was snow white."I've been yelling that because it's what you are, a cheater!" I exclaimed, as I shifted into my human form.I lied down on the ground, and Dylan's large Wolf settled himself on top of me."Shift back," I told him, as I held up my arms to give him a push."Being faster than you does not make me a cheater," Dylan said right after he took his human form.His naked body was lying over mine. His hands were on either side of my head, holding his weight on his elbows.Despite the small space between us, I could feel his very hard member pressing against my
I ran away from home. After everything that happened with my family and the pack, I did the only thing I thought to do. I ran away from my life. When I was far away from my home and what used to be my life, I kept running.Being a quitter was frowned upon in most packs, and mine was no exception. When my life gave a 180 turn and things became too much to handle, I decided to give up and start over elsewhere.No one saw it coming. Everyone thought I would stick around and take everything they were throwing my way. In my heart, I knew I wouldn't be the only one to make the decision I took if they were in my shoes.I was the daughter of the Beta in our pack. Without a say, I was to marry the neighboring packs' Alpha. Maybe, I would make the sacrifice for my pack, had the situation not been so twisted.Alpha Nicolas was a 35 year old man. I found a problem in him being 17 years older than me, but I let it go at first. My real problem came when I met him.The first thing he said to me wa
Everything for the past two weeks before I left had been hectic around the pack. I was pampered and beatified every day, in order to please Alpha Nicolas. Not that he cared for any of it. He met me three weeks ago, claimed he wanted me as a wife, and I was to marry him two days from now. Every moment we spent together was full of caresses, compliments, and possibly the best treatment any man could give a girl.The problem: I was aware that everything he did, every present he gave me, and his nice compliments were not for me. They were all for her, for Isabelle- his mate who had been killed by a rogue 6 years ago.It had been early in the morning when I ran away. Now it was almost midnight. I only had with me a backpack with three changes of clothes, my valuables, and some saved money. I knew it would last me a while- at least until I settled down and found a job somewhere.I was given everything when I was at home. Now, things would be a lot harder.I arrived at a town three stat
I woke up to the sun seeping in through the window. I didn't want to get up. Despite sleeping all night, my body was still exhausted. I blamed it on the worry of being away from home.I finally got up and walked to the sliding door that led to a balcony. The view, which showed the back of the hotel, was the beautiful forest that covered most of the area.I thought about what my parents would be doing right now. I had brought shame to my family and to my pack. I had no idea whether Alpha Nicolas already knew that I ran away.I was worried about the repercussions my family would have to face, but I was convincing myself that this was the right decision.After asking Marie for directions to the best place to have breakfast in, she led me to the diner I had seen while getting here. She offered to make me breakfast, which was complimentary of the hotel, but I wanted some fresh air.I was sitting alone in one of the booths toward the back. It was around 10 in the morning, but things seemed
We sat down side by side near the shallow waters of the lake.I took off my sandals and folded the bottom part of my jeans, so that I could dip my feet in the water."You are a very beautiful girl, you know that?" Jace told me, as he caressed my cheek and moved a few strands of hair that had fallen over my face."Thank you," I replied, feeling a light blush falling over my face."I hardly see any rogues who are girls, much less have them traveling alone."I wasn't looking at him. So far, he hadn't tried anything, but my best shot of taking him on, was running. Yes, it had been a very bad idea to come alone with him."Yeah?" I simply asked."Dylan, The Alpha, is not a very forgiving or generous person. But, he is my best friend. I'm sure if you ask permission to be part of the pack, and with my influence, you could stay here permanently."I turned to look at Jace. He was being serious."What would the price for that be?" I asked, knowing I wouldn't like his answer."I really like you.
I woke up to loud knocking on my door. I tried to fix my hair and look decent enough before opening the door. I found a grinning Jace standing there, looking wide awake.He looked me up and down slowly, his grin morphing into something else. I looked down to what I was wearing and tried to walk away into the restroom. I had on some short shorts with a singlet.Jace had looked at me that same way he did yesterday while we were getting in the lake.I came out after changing into a pair of clean jeans, leaving the singlet on."How are you doing?" Jace was lying down on his back in my bed, with his hands under his head."I need to buy some clothes," I told him as I looked inside my back pack for my toiletries."I'll take you to the mall today. The closest one is about half hour, so we should leave soon." I looked at him, weirdly, but nodded my head.The mall was packed with people. I didn't expect any less, it was the mall after all. I went through several stores and settled with five
"I think this guy wants to kidnap me," I told Jace, while half hiding behind his back.The Alpha growled when he noticed my movements and glared at Jace."I was going to tell you yesterday, but now is a good time as well. Leila wants to join the pack," Jace told the Alpha."Actually, I'm leaving later this afternoon," I said, while staying behind Jace."The hell you are!" The Alpha yelled, before Jace could open his mouth."What? Why?" Jace asked me, holding my hands in his. The Alpha moved to stand between us and ripped my hands from Jace's hold."Mine!" He snapped at Jace.Jace looked between the Alpha and me with a shocked expression."Dylan, she's- your mate?" Jace slowly asked him, keeping his gaze on me."Yes, and I will not allow you or any other male to touch her," he replied to Jace, in a commanding tone."Understood, Alpha," Jace said, nodding his head and looking at me with a defeated expression.The Alpha, Dylan, grabbed my hand in his and started walking away.I yanked my

Three weeks later...."Want some?" Liam asked, as he offered me his spoon filled with peanut butter dipped in melted chocolate.I scrunched up my nose, while Eric laughed at me."Don't knock it till you try it," Liam said to me."It's pretty good," Eric agreed with a shrug."Ah, the pup's got good taste," Liam said, grinning at Eric.Eric frowned at him, like he'd been doing for the past three weeks.I didn't understand what it was with guys and insulting other males by calling them 'pup'."You're not even that old," Eric told Liam, not impressed with Liam's nickname to him."I'm older than you," Liam said, not bothered by Eric's comment.He grabbed another spoonful of peanut butter and dipped it in the melted chocolate."Where's Dylan anyways? I thought Jace said they were all taking the afternoon off today," Liam asked, looking mainly at me.I shrugged, and felt myself frowning.Dylan had been acting pretty strange these last couple of days. He seemed distracted, and slightly parano
Dylan's POVLeila preferred walking to the doctor's office. I wasn't sure why, but she usually wanted to walk instead of shifting or driving there."Let's go!" Leila said, pulling on my arm, trying to hurry me.Her tugging and pulling hardly made a difference, but I did speed up just for her amusement."If you want, I can drive," she told me, already standing on the driver's seat.I laughed, wondering how she could find time to joke."I'm serious," she said, pouting at me.I took no time in closing the distance between us.I loved everything about her. Her enticing scent, her soft pale skin, her beautiful features- everything about Leila was perfect. But whenever she gave me that look, both my Wolf and I just wanted to bow down to her and do as she said.I groaned once I had her in my arms. Holding her in my arms was enough to satiate my Wolf and me, at least for now."I'll drive," I told her, as I walked her to the passenger side of the car."Fine, but you better hurry up. He's awake
The black Wolf was Dylan.We were in the back of the stores, and there weren't people around. It was still slightly dangerous if someone saw a group of oversized Wolves fighting.Dylan didn't wait for anyone before he came to our help and began attacking Alpha Nicolas. By this point, Alpha Nicolas was already fairly injured.Liam had made a number on him, and it didn't help that Alpha Nicolas was hardly defending himself.When Dylan arrived, Liam backed off and he pushed on the side of my body with his snout.I couldn't move away though. I was too enthralled watching as Dylan basically ripped Alpha Nicolas to pieces.As soon as he was dead, Alpha Nicolas' body automatically shifted him back to his human form. He lay there, motionless. I didn't want to look at him, but I was still in my Wolf form and she was getting a kick out of everything.I willed myself to shift back, but my Wolf didn't want that. She continued staring at Nicolas' body, which was ripped apart. It was all so bloody
I was left completely shocked right after I opened the door to our room. Seeing how clean and organized everything was, reminded me that Dylan had wrecked the room right after the fight.I was standing right next the door, looking at the neatly done bed, the new decorations, a not broken coffee table, and a new set of black leather couches. The couches sat in front of a bigger flat screen TV than the one we had before."I uh, had the room- house actually- cleaned out," Dylan said, sounding slightly uncomfortable.I turned to face him, his dark eyes gone. Grayish blue orbs were staring at me, looking like he was waiting for me to say something."I love it, thank you!" I told him, as I closed the distance between us and jumped into his arms, wrapping my own around his neck."I figured it was probably good to get everything new. My mom said you'd, uh, like it," he said.I giggled against his neck, enjoying his little pauses."Thank you," I said again, kissing the crook of his neck.His f
We'd been in the dining room eating the food that Blake and Christy had brought.Dylan had been telling me to eat, and I was trying to force down the food for his benefit. I wasn't really hungry- especially with everything that had happened."We're leaving right after this," Blake said, keeping his gaze on me."You are?" I asked, feeling my heart sink. I'd been hoping they would stay longer."As you know, the Rogues and Jackson attacked my pack first. We had a few causalities. Michael's taking care of things, but the pack is asking for me," he explained."I understand. You should be with them," I said, smiling at him.Being here with Dylan and Blake- it was comforting. I just couldn't stop thinking about Eric. I already wanted to get back to him.I wanted to be there when he woke up."I was hoping Dylan would give me a few minutes with you," Blake said, now looking at Dylan."No," Dylan stated.They stared at each other defiantly. While I remained quiet, Christy was starting to look a
I was surprised when he ran toward the trees, and came back seconds later wearing a pair of shorts."Don't fucking touch my mate!" Dylan growled, as he roughly took me from Blake's arms."Then fucking take her to the doctor!" Blake replied with a growl of his own.They both stared at each other menacingly. I tried to keep up with what was happening, but I could already feel myself drifting away."Shit! Take her, now!" I faintly heard Christy yelling, before everything went black.I woke up feeling disoriented. My mind was awake, but my eyes were closed and I couldn't manage to open them.I kept my breathing even- slowly attempting to open my eyes.Dylan's scent was all over the place. The room was lit- letting me know that it was day. I could tell that I was in the guest room where I usually ran to whenever I got mad at Dylan.I propped myself up in the bed. My muscles felt sore, like if I hadn't moved them in a while."Leila," Dylan's voice came from my side.I looked at him, and mem
Just like it had been before, another fight broke out. We were outnumbered two to one. This time however, it didn't seem like it would be as easy. The pack Wolves were bigger than the Rogues Liam and Eric had taken care of before. If that wasn't enough, my dad was the Beta of Staten pack. He was one of the strongest Wolves I knew.My dad had just been watching- as Liam, Eric, and Christy took to fighting the Wolves. This time, Eric wasn't able to protect me. He was too busy attempting to fight off three Wolves while trying not to get killed.Whenever I tried attacking any of the Wolves that came with my dad, they would push me away- but they didn't harm me.After my fifth attempt at fighting them and them not doing anything, I figured I could use that to my advantage.I was trying to help Eric fight off the Wolves. It was easy, since none of them touched me. I could only guess that Alpha Nicolas had given them an order not to hurt me.Liam was fighting with all he had. He was doing w
