I reached the pack house and Alpha Allen was already waiting for me in his office. I walked in and knocked. “Come in Natalie,” he said. I stepped in and closed the door behind me. He gestured for me to take a seat. “I want to apologize for Christian’s behavior, Natalie. What he did is unacceptable. You did amazing out there. I think you shocked the entire pack if you ask me. As your Alpha, I am proud of you,” he calmly said. I was on the verge of tears. “Thank you, Alpha, but that will not erase the embarrassment and disrespect he emitted.” My voice croaked and I knew he could sense the pain and sadness in my words. “Alpha…I didn’t come here for that. I came here to request…well actually plea, for you to sign me up for Special Forces training so that I could enhance my combat skills. With all due respect Alpha, I was about to denounce my pack a few minutes ago (I sighed). With your permission, I would like to leave the pack for a while…” I swallowed hard as I continued. “I can not
Waking up this morning felt strange, an unexplainable feeling if so. It may be because by this time tomorrow, I’ll be miles away.I got out of bed with no alarm today. I know it's weird huh? I went to the restroom and began to get ready. I decided today to wear skinny jeans, with a tight black crew-tee tucked in, and a denim jacket. I paired it with a nice set of black and white Converse.I put on some blush, lip gloss, mascara, and black eyeliner in my inner eyes. I leave my hair down, with loose curls making this look perfect. I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs. My parents were waiting for me with a hefty breakfast and boy did it smell delicious.After eating, I hugged them both and headed to the front door. I was searching in my bag for my keys when I stepped outside. I finally found them in a small pocket, looked up, and I froze. The nerve of this guy.“Natie, can I talk to you?” Christian looked like he was sleep-deprived. His blonde hair looked tousled making the guy look m
Saying goodbye was the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. Evie noticed I was silently crying, but she didn’t ask questions. Somehow I feel that Jerry and her knew Ivan was here to see me.I’m glad though, I couldn’t complain because I got to see him. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, but it was for the best. Soon he will find his mate and I will find mine too.“Evie…” I said sadly. “Do you think you could catch a ride with Jacob tomorrow? I’m not going to school tomorrow. My parents want me to stay home.”“Sure Natie. I can ask Jacob. He’ll be thrilled though Jerry won’t be.” She giggled. “Is everything okay? I saw Ivan leaving your car.”I side-eyed her and she got nervous. “Yes. Oh, I’m sure you did.” I said, smiling and shaking my head.___________It was 1:30 in the morning. My alarm was going off to ‘Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park.’ I packed a large duffle bag with clothes and two pairs of shoes.As the song played, I felt melancholic. In the past, I’ve quest
A werewolf is destined to have a soulmate. One that you’ll have an intense connection with, your other half. You feel deeply drawn to that person. For us wolves we get hints, but for some reason, Alphas get those signals stronger than others.I believe Striker when he says, Natalie belongs to us. He says it with such affirmation. So far with Natalie, there is mutual respect and understanding. I feel this sense of comfort with her like no other. When I touch her or when I’m near her, it feels right and natural. The tingles are probably part of that and the way our hearts beat for each other, makes it more suitable.However, when another male, especially an Alpha, is after your girl, you’ll find that it brings an uncontrollable possessiveness and jealousy within you. For us Alphas, we get a hormone-fueled territorial behavior, an instinctive need to assert dominance over his mate, his girl.He began telling me that there was a ‘warrior tryout or tournament’ that took place on Saturday a
Two f*cking weeks have passed. I’ve been miserable without her in my life. Not seeing the attractive rare beauty, the smell of her delicious scent, and the feel of her soft skin. Striker has been in a foul mood as well.I’ve been snappy with everyone finding it difficult to control this emptiness. Camila has kept her distance and I appreciate that. School hasn’t been the same without Natie and it doesn’t take a blind eye to see that Christian has been feeling the same way.The jacka*s seems to take out his anger on others and it pisses me off that he is acting this way when he’s the f*cking reason for Natalie's absence. F*ck face still thinks she belongs to him.I haven’t been performing well during my basketball practices and games due to my crummy state of mood. It's even affected my academics. Even at home, Dad has noticed my dark glowering disposition.Leslie, my sister, tries to cheer me up but there is nothing and no one to snap me out of this dour state. Only Natie can change t
It was Friday night and I was in bed about to enter a serene state of mind. Tomorrow we had a meeting with Alpha Styles and his son Landon. I was about to close my eyes when Jerry startled me, ‘Ivan, are you asleep?’What the hell? ‘No, but I’m in bed trying to do exactly that. What is it?!’ I asked.I then heard a soft knock on the door, ‘It’s me, let me in, I have crucial information to tell you!?’ He whispered-yelled.I got up and put on my basketball shorts and opened the door. “Dude…do you know what time I have to get up tomorrow?” I asked as I yawned and rubbed my face up and down irritated.He walked in, “Well make yourself at home.” I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. “What Jerry, what is it?” His mannerisms triggered my wolf and I suddenly became concerned.“So remember we talked about Beta Taylor's estranged wife?” “Yeah, what about her?” I sat down on my couch.“Dude, he killed her when he captured her. Apparently, she never told him about their daughter’s whereabouts and h
We walked into the dining room and Connor sat at the head of the table while Landon and Angel sat next to him on his right side. Dad, Raul, and I sat on the left side, Raul sitting next to me. Dad was across from Landon and I was sitting across from Angel. Angel smiled slightly, but I didn’t return the gesture. His face then became impassive glaring at me. I couldn’t pretend to be nice to this fool after learning what he did to his mate. I don’t condone violence on women unless she is a rogue and they are trying to kill you. There had to be a damn good reason for Natalie’s mom to leave him. A mate just doesn't get up and leave without logic. Connor cleared his throat causing me to drive my eyes away from Angel. “So Ivan, have you found your mate yet?” Connor asked. “No sir,” I simply replied. “He hasn’t but he thinks he has an idea of who she is. Isn’t that right son?” Dad said arrogantly. Seriously!? The nerve of my Father sharing my business. I gave him a side glance and fist
I was running so fast that I could hardly feel my paws hitting the ground. I ran through the hills covered by thick forest, gliding past the trees as they became a blur with only one focus on my mind…get there faster than a speeding bullet, there was no time to waste.The closer I got to town, I could feel the connection to all my fellow pack members. But then there it was…individual links breaking due to their sudden death. Striker howled.The moment I set foot there, the scene was something you saw in a war movie. Blood, body parts, and organs from our pack members and rogues everywhere. My heart thundered in my chest.‘MOM, LESLIE, AXEL, JERRY, CAMILA, ANSWER ME!’ I yelled through the pack link.Landon and the warrior running with me started fighting. I ran inside the pack house searching for anybody when a black wolf hit me on the right side of my torso. I got right back up on all fours and lunged forward, ripping his neck out. I helped other warriors fight off rogues making my wa
