~Christian’s POV~***Earlier on Friday***It was almost noon and I was already anxious to go home. I couldn’t shake this strange feeling away, especially knowing that Natalie would be home soon. Dad did say the first week of February, and still, there was no sign of her. I swear, the week was taunting me going by slowly.I got happy and excited for a second when Natalie’s parents told me they were heading out of town. I thought for a moment they were going to go pick Natalie up, but I frowned when they said they needed a day off and wanted to spend time together alone. I mean, they wouldn’t lie to their Alpha, would they?‘Christian?’ Jay rang in my head. ‘Jay. What’s up?’ I answered.‘Umm…so I just got a text from one of the warriors at home and you're not gonna believe it.’ Jay said nervously.‘Is something wrong?’ Jasper's ears perked up and I got a little worried.‘Christian, he said Natalie is there and is training with them.’ ‘THE F*CK DID YOU JUST SAY!??’ The class was now sta
My parents watched me pace back and forth in the living room. “Christian, you need to calm down. She is smart and understanding.” I was f*cking nervous.The doorbell rang, “They're here, remember let's start with the story of the missing child.” They both nodded.~Natalie’s POV~My parents were acting weird this morning. They seemed nervous and that made me anxious. Now, I was really worried about the purpose of this meeting.“Guys, are you okay? You two are starting to make me worry.” I said pulling them back.“Yes, baby.” The answer was short.We reached the pack house and Dad rang the doorbell. Summer opened the door, “Good morning! Come in.” All three of us walked into the living area.“Good morning Natie, Drew, and Iris,” Christian said.“Good morning Alpha.” My parents said and I nodded.They sat down. Summer began to speak, “Natalie, I’m sure you're confused and anxious to know why we are having this meeting. I can sense it, well I think we all can.” I raised my eyebrows.“Me?
I was lying on my bed watching the ceiling fan spin. My right arm was resting on my forehead while I sighed for the hundredth time. My whole world was shaken by the revelation about my past. I couldn’t even process the fact that I, Natalie Adams, was meant to be a Beta, but what made me sad was finally hearing the truth that my parents were not my parents. I mean, something deep, deep, deep inside told me that they weren’t, but I hoped it wasn’t real and that my inner voice was mistaken. As I lay there, I tried digesting all that was said to me and honestly, I didn’t know how to handle it, especially finding out how my real mom was killed. My own Father took her life. A tear rolled on the side of my cheek and I rubbed hard to wipe it off. That man was no Father to me. He was going to pay for what he did to her. Who does that to their mate?! Summer said she had scars on her body that didn’t heal well. I had one objective and that was to avenge her death and I would make sure of it.
I was staring at the wall in the Men’s restroom. A few minutes passed before he spoke, “When did you get back?” I didn’t answer. “Natie–” I growled, cutting him off, “Natalie to you.” I know it's childish. “NO!” He turned me around. “Do you know how long I waited and waited? You never called me or even thought to text me? I thought I meant something to you! You made it seem that way. I told you I liked you and that I wanted to get to know you and…” He pulled his hair in frustration. I glared at him with a murderous look. I couldn’t say anything and instead pulled my arm away from his touch because the sparks were blasting intently up my arm. The sparks from before were nothing compared to the ones I was feeling right now. Anger does obstruct your senses. “DON’T. TOUCH. ME.” I said through my teeth. He stepped forward, closing the distance between us. “You come near me again, and I’ll reject you.” He frowned and hesitated to step back, but he did. Zoe growled pacing back and fort
It didn’t take long with Ms. Slate, but she was a bit nosey and I only told her what she needed to know. After our conversation, I headed to my locker and that’s when I heard my best friend whom I hadn’t seen in ages run up to me and knock me down on the ground, literally. “NATIE!!!!!” She squealed. She bombarded me with kisses all over my face. I couldn’t stop giggling. “I missed you too, Evie! I don’t think Jerry will like the fact that his girl is kissing another girl though.” I chuckled. “Oh, I don’t know, if anything I find it as a turn-on,” Jerry said laughing out loud. Of course he would, he’s a man. “I’m so thrilled to see my girl happy again. She missed you, Natalie, even I missed you.” He said as he gave us a helping hand. “Thank you. I missed you all so much too, Jerry. Thank you for taking care of my best friend here while I was gone.” I said, squeezing my friend so hard. “So…did you find your mate? Your birthday was last month, so did you find him!?” Her question surp
I was surprised to see how Christian behaved during class. He made several jokes, making me snort a couple of times, almost getting me in trouble with the teacher. I have never seen this side of him and admittedly, I enjoyed it. I wish he was more like this before he began to pursue me. I hope that whoever is mated to him will make him happy and vice versa. I wished for him–happily ever after. The bell finally rang and we were heading to the lunchroom. I was laughing at Christian’s remark regarding the teacher. Zeo and Eric were stunned at Christian’s behavior with me because it was such a huge difference from before. “Uh Natie, why is Ivan wearing his gym clothes?” I turned around and I saw Ivan coming down the hallway. I took a deep breath and inhaled his delicious scent. ‘He took a shower?’ Zoe snickered. ‘He did and I’m glad. He looks good in his gym uniform, but I won’t tell him.’ His black hair was still wet from the shower and I loved the look it gave him. My eyes roamed to
I held onto his hand the entire time. I could sense her uneasiness as I walked into her class. I felt the glares of other students, but I kept my cool. Ms. Martinez is a wolf and I am sure by now, she figured that Ivan and I are mates. Never have I ever asked my parents or anyone about how the mate bond works, making me wish I had. I was so occupied with my training and school that it never occurred to me that it was as important as a sex education class. I thought turning 18 was just finding your mate and feeling loved by the one person who was chosen to be with you forever. Boy was I wrong. Damn, those sparks, more like electricity, were intense and doing their job. Now that I think about it, whatever I felt before when I was with Ivan, intensified tenfold. The moment we were close to each other, the bond made my senses stronger. Right now, I feel like my fury is more powerful. I did feel a sexual tension between us both. Holding his hand was doing things to my body and I could
Landon was checking me out with a mega-watt smile. Christian growled, making Landon take his gaze away from me and face him, “So this is the famous, Natalie Adams, the one I’ve been hearing so much about?” I cocked an eyebrow. ‘Famous? So much?’ Ivan did say he was friends with him. He stepped forward and acknowledged the rest. When he stood in front of me, he held out his hand and I gripped it giving it a shake. His hand lingered a few seconds too long. “So you're my Beta?” He asked, grinning. Werewolves are all good-looking, but Alphas and the rest of the high ranks were even more alluring. Landon was handsome. He had chocolate-brown hair, with dark bushy eyebrows. His eyes were dark brown, with a sharp jawline, and medium plump lips. He was 6 '4 a few inches smaller than Ivan and Christian. Landon gave me a very young Steven McQueen vibe. “Yes,” I responded. “Styles!” Christian warned. Landon pulled his hand away, “Calm down Allen, I’m just intrigued here. I’ve heard so much o
