(Kaeleigh POV)
But the impact never came.
There was a rush and a loud crash and I opened my eyes and a bigger wolf, also blond but more of a honey blond, had a struggling Adelaide wolf by the throat. This all happened in less than a second, but I could have sworn years went by.
“Submit now, Adelaide, or I will authorise him to put you down permanently,” the Alpha commanded in his powerful voice. That’s when I noticed that the Beta no longer stood beside him. I looked at the two wolves and realised where the second wolf had come from, silently reminding myself to buy the Beta a drink or something to thank him for his quick reflexes. The smaller Adelaide wolf still struggled against his hold, her eyes on me and her teeth bared.
“I said SUBMIT AND SHIFT NOW!” the Alpha boomed again.
I was frozen in my place, Adelaide’s eyes were still on me. I watched as they
(Kaeleigh’s POV)As I left the main pack house, still smiling, I noticed Jensen was standing at the bottom of the stairs talking to a group of people. He saw me and grinned and said goodbye to the group before jogging over to me.“Hey Kae!” He had a twinkle in his eyes that I couldn’t help but smile at.“Hey Jensen, thanks for…” I hesitated. “... Well, you know, in there.” I waved to the pack house behind me. He scowled briefly.“Well, I kinda feel like it was my fault.” He shifted in his spot, running his hand through his blond hair. “I honestly have no idea what got into Adelaide. And just for the record, we weren’t dating,” he added seriously. “You can ask anyo
(Jensen’s POV)Shit, I was late for dinner. I checked the time on my phone, 7:08pm, before slipping it back into the pocket of my dark grey jeans.Training had been extra intense today. Commander Stanton had been in a bad mood after finding out about the Fischers. He’d cornered me afterwards to find out if the punishment for Brandt had been justified. We rarely use the chains. It’s a cruel punishment, and I know that Alpha Daniel doesn’t come to that punishment lightly. It leaves the punished in the cold dark dungeon, shackled with silver and wolfsbane coated chains. They are unable to shift, to mind link, to heal or to even communicate with their own wolf. They are essentially human.I told Stanton that after what Brandt did to Kaeleigh; he was lucky to still be breathing, and th
(Kaeleigh’s POV)Shopping wasn’t too bad. But don’t tell anyone that. Zoey suggested we drive to the pack shopping centre. I shrugged and said okay; I was good to walk but assumed that the girls would have plenty of shopping, so driving seemed like a solid plan.We headed to the side of Opal house where a black SUV was waiting. A guy, likely an omega, was standing there smiling as he passed the keys to Zoey and started jogging off towards the main pack house. Kierra snatched the keys out of Zoey’s hands and jumped into the driver’s seat, grinning.“I’m the driver.” She proclaimed proudly. Zoey rolled her eyes as we all laughed and filed into the car. I went on to talk about what happened, keeping the details light as I didn’t want to be responsible for pack gossip. I ended it by telling them about the elite training offer and my shiny new pack bank card.
(Kaeleigh POV)My alarm went off at 5am on Monday morning. I jumped out of bed with a buzz of excitement running through my veins. After changing into my workout clothes, I headed down to the basement to the state-of-the-art gym. The house was quiet, and I had the gym to myself. I focused on cardio, knowing full well that I would be getting a full-on intense workout later on today in my first training session. To say I was excited to finally be training with the pack warriors was an understatement. I knew it would be hard and that it was going to hurt, but if it made me stronger and better able to fight, then I was willing to accept the pain.I made my way back up to my room and an hour later I was showered and dressed in black tailored pants, a black collarless blouse and my grey herringbone cropped sleeve jacket. My hair was pulled back into a low bun w
(Kaeleigh’s POV)I followed Marissa to the large glass-walled conference room, which was already filled with people. Sat at the head of the table was Emmerson Kane. I recognised him from all the magazine articles and from other business events. He didn’t even glance at me as Marissa led me to the seat next to him. She passed me an agenda, and I briefly looked through it, familiarising myself with the points. I can see one of the points is my name. Oh yay, attention, I thought sarcastically.Emmerson looked up and around the room and his eyes lingered on an empty seat as a look of frustration crossed his face.“Where is Adelaide?” he asks no one in particular. My heartbeat sped up briefly at the mention of her name. Clearly hearing it, Emmerson glanced my way before looking round the roo
(Kaeleigh’s POV)Chase and I headed out of the pack house to where there was someone standing next to a small black sports looking car. I rolled my eyes as he passed the keys to Chase and then turned around and ran off into the park area.“Geez, does no one do anything around here for themselves? I reckon most packs would fail if you didn’t have the poor Omegas,” I muttered as Chase opened the passenger door with an amused look. I shook my head and slid into the seat. He closed the door and ran around to the driver’s side. He started the car and began to drive away from the pack house.“We do understand the value of our Omegas here you know,” he said as he drove over the bridge and turned left, “i know not all packs do, but we do respect them,”
(Kaeleigh POV)“Adam?” I stuttered. “You scared me” He just stood there not moving, his face in shadow. I moved forward slowly until I was within arm’s reach.“Adam?” I was starting to feel uneasy. Then he stepped forward, and the light hit his face, which was set in fury.“Do you know how long it took me to get there, Kaeleigh?” He moved towards me again and I backed away. He stopped and a slow smile played across his face.“What’s up, Kaeleigh? I thought we were friends?” He took another step forward, and I backed up again.“Adam, what’s wrong?”I felt like I was pre
(Kaeleigh POV)When I woke up, I was in a strange bed in a strange room. And by the looks of it, it was a guy’s room. I looked around the room. It looked like a bigger version of my own room. The furniture was made from a rich dark wood. Other than the bed that I was in, which was seriously comfortable as fuck, there was a large chest of drawers and a desk, both solid looking with clean, masculine lines. Both of them seemed to be covered in random stuff like it had been dumped there. At the far end of the room there was a large TV on a matching dark wood entertainment centre along with several of the latest popular gaming consoles, as well as a few I didn’t recognise. In front of it was a large, light brown three-seater sofa. The walls were a warm beige and had various movie posters and such hung on them. Geez, where the fuck was I?I peeked under t

(Kaeleigh’s POV)*** Two Weeks Later ***I stood on the stage at the former Dark Moon and now Dark Circle pack territory and looked out across the crowd. I felt warmth rush through me as Chase squeezed my hand beside me as we waited for the crowd to quiet down. The crowd was a mix of werewolves, witches and hybrids, although the latter were massively outnumbered by the first two. The last two weeks had been crazy busy as we worked to create some sort of order in everything.The battle had ended in our favour, but we still had losses. I had been upset to learn from Jensen that Zack’s mate had been expecting and watching as she received the news that she had already felt was heart wrenching. I had been told that the death of her mate had sent her into shock. This wasn’t uncommon, as the separat
(Kaeleigh’s POV)I clung to Adam as I screamed for help. There was blood everywhere, and his eyes were fluttering. Dayna was crying.“Why can’t I do anything?” she screamed. “Adam I mean it, don’t you dare die on me, not when I have just told you I love you.” I looked up at her in shock and she looked at me, tears streaming.“Kaeleigh, tell him he can’t die. We agreed. We are choosing each other as mates. He has to live.” She shook Adam as his eyes closed. “Kaeleigh, order him, please,” I shook my head and looked down at Adam in my arms.“Why did you do something as stupid as that?” I cried at him and his eyelids fluttered open again. He looked up and smiled.
(Asher’s POV)“Well, look what we have here,” I snarled as I walked into the clearing. “If it isn’t my not so loyal Beta.” I had seen Cade just as he had snapped the neck of that imbecile Fischer. As I got closer, I saw him holding his mate. I watched them as he comforted her. He was so gentle and caring. Before her, Cade had been a different sort. He had always been ready for a good time with the supply of Omegas that we kept around and I could pinpoint to the day that he had met his mate. Everything changed. He stopped drinking as much, stopped going out. He disappeared on weekends on private business.I got why. A fated mate is an awful weapon in the wrong hands and my father had taken a dislike to Cade pretty much after his own father had left the pack. If my father had known that Cade had found his mate, he would h
(Zoey’s POV)“I gotta go,” I hissed, watching the blond streaks as they flashed through the woods. “I got a score to settle.” I started walking towards the last place that I saw the bleached blond trash. I could feel Cade’s presence behind me. I wasn’t sure whether he was there to protect me or to protect her at this point.I woke up crying almost every night after reoccurring dreams about what she did. Dreams that repeated over me held in silver chains and her smirking face as she… I shuddered at the thought of it. I had never been so violated before in my life. I still struggled with intimacy with Cade. The irony of the fact that for the first time in almost five years I could be open and not hide my love for my mate and yet I couldn’t stand to be touched by him. Cade had tried to talk to me about w
(Jensen’s POV)“My Hero,” Tatum grinned at me, and I couldn’t help but grin back.“Yeah, well, let’s not need that anymore,” I said as I helped her to a sitting position.“What about Jeremy?” Tatum asked and Elaina called over from where she was sitting next to the unconscious wolf.“He’s gonna be fine. It’ll take some healing, but werewolves do that quickly.” I looked at Tatum, who looked relieved.“Where’s Luke?” Tatum asked, looking around.“Your brother is as silly as you are,” the other witch, who I was unfamiliar with, said, glaring at the entrance to the n
(Tatum’s POV)I rushed into the entrance of the nook where I could see the evidence of magic flying around everywhere. I knew Jade and Luke were close behind. I surveyed the area and saw Chase on the ground next to a big black wolf and a woman with jet black hair. The woman was tending to the wolf as he laid on the floor, panting. At the other end of the nook I could see the redhead witch Isabella and my mum. There was a redheaded man standing between me and them and from the magic he was using, I could tell he was a sorcerer. I glanced at Luke, who nodded and he cast a slow down spell. While he did that, I felt for my new-found powers and sent out energy, or whatever it was, to the surrounding trees asking them for help. I felt the connection and began to bend the trees to my will.Jade appeared as well as Jeremy and I grinned. The sorcerer, on the
(Kaeleigh’s POV)“ATTACK!”I watched as thousands of bodies appeared from the surrounding area, some in human form, some in wolf. They reached the outer edges of the town in a matter of seconds, so they must have been in the immediate area and the woods surrounding. I drew my eyes back to Asher who was watching me with an intense look. He smirked as his eyes found mine and then pulled his shirt to reveal the mark again.I rolled my eyes before closing them and blocking everything and everyone around me out. I envisioned my army of wolves, the symbol of my Alpha power and the reason I would never bow to anyone. I pulled the energy from that power and pulled it in tight. The tension alone was enough to make me feel like I was going to burst. I opened my eyes, knowing that right now they shone g
(Kaeleigh’s POV)Three hours later, a now mobile and newly sealed Cade was sitting on the sofa in the living room with Zoey on his knee and I was inspecting Tatum’s wrist. She and Jensen had emerged from his room a few minutes before and Tatum was jumping around excitedly. They had completed the bond last night and through the night Tatum had completed the transition into a Hybrid, much in the same way as Chase had with me. I looked at the pattern that had formed on her wrist and saw it was an extension of Jensen’s pattern. I smiled. I still didn’t know how everything worked, but I was loving finding out.“Oh, and watch,” Tatum said, suddenly very excited. She turned and looked around and then focused on a dying houseplant that a scowling Luke was standing by. She walked over and placed her hand on the soil and, slowly
