Bonnie

"Are you ok, Bonnie? Alpha's voice brings me back to the present and along with it a wave of embarrassment that I zoned out in the presence of our Alpha. "Sorry, Alpha. Yes, I am great, thank you. How are you doing today?" He nods smiling. "I'm perfect thanks, Bonnie. Please take a seat. I'd like to discuss something with you. I know you and Blue have school, so I won't keep you long."

I nod at Alpha Harold and then take a seat next to Blue. She treats me the same as my dad and brother, but it's the obvious seat to sit in. "Is everything ok, Alpha?" I can see the confusion on my dad's face as to why the Alpha is here. Usually, as a Beta to the pack, he would know about any issues that need raising before the Alpha either personally address them or has him do it, but it's clear to see that he has no idea about what's going on right now, and I can imagine he is pissed about it.

"Yes Beta, everything is fine. We have already spoken about this issue, but I just wanted to personally address it and see if I could be of any help," I watch as realization washes over him, and for a second he looks pissed, but he does his best to quickly mask it. He knows what this is about and he isn't happy.

"Bonnie, this is Elder Royston. He is visiting on some formal business and decided to join me here today." I don't know if my dad has met this Elder, but I'm pretty sure the rest of us haven't. "There's nothing to worry about, so please relax. I just wanted to stop in and remind you about all the ball at the Diamond Pack this weekend and I also wanted a quick chat with you, Bonnie."

How could I forget about the ball? It's all anyone has been speaking about, especially at school. The Alpha of the Diamond pack is hosting the annual Blue Moon Ball this year and everyone is crazily excited. The Blue Moon Ball is hosted every year by different packs. It's a ball designed to help unmated wolves find their mate and, as far as I know, it's usually pretty successful, which is why it has been held once a year for over 100 years. Throw in the fact that the Alpha of the Diamond pack is also unmated, and you have thousands of she-wolves everywhere melting.

"So Bonnie. I have been informed that you will not be attending the ball?" You're not allowed to attend the ball until you are 18, so this year is the first year that Blue and I are allowed to attend but, of course, my dad had already informed me that I wouldn't be attending. In his words, he won't have me embarrass him and, besides, it's not like my mate is going to want me anyway, so I should stay home and save both myself and my mate from any embarrassment.

"That's right, Alpha. I won't be attending." He gives me a puzzled look before shaking his head. "But why?" I take a moment to think of a reason while also holding in a wince as my dad pinches my hip from around the back of Blue. "I just don't feel up to going Alpha. We're almost finished with school, and I'm working hard on my last assignment, so I figured that I would stay here and finish that instead."

It's not a lie as such. I am working hard for school, but that's because I am finishing Blue's assessment. I've already finished mine and handed it in. Hopefully, he doesn't know that. I've also got my own plans for while they are gone. Plans I don't want to cancel.

"You have always been a hard worker when it comes to school, Bonnie. And while I admire that, I'm afraid that your assignment will have to wait until you come home, as I'm here to inform you that, as of this year, it is now mandatory for all wolves of age to attend the Blue Moon Ball. There would need to be a major reason for not going and, sadly, homework isn't it." Fuck!

I bite back a response and instead smile and nod my head. He gives me a genuine smile and then rises to his feet with Elder Royston following. "I'm glad that it is settled. Try and look forward to it, Bonnie. I have a feeling that you will have a lot of fun." I smile, encouraging his words as he says his goodbyes and exits the house, leaving me confused and well scared. Scared of what my dad's going to say.

It won't matter that the Alpha himself is the one who told us about this or that this is now a new wolf law and that I have no choice but to go, it will still somehow be my fault, and he will make me pay for it. After the beating, I received last night and again this morning, I don't think I can handle any more pain right now, but that won't matter to my so-called dad, he will do as he sees fit. It wouldn't be the first time that he blessed me with several beatings in a row and I doubt it will be the last. He'll beat me until I'm unconscious and then just leave me on the floor until I come around so he can restart his torment.

Before the Alpha has even made it out of the house, I try to make a quick exit out of the living room and away from my hell-hole family in the hopes that I can get out of here before they start their shit with me again. Thankfully, I was smart enough to drop my bag by the front door when I came downstairs and could leave without any fuss.

Of course, I'm far from dull, and I know that I'm going to pay for all of this later, but for now... for now, I'm just going to hold my head up high and head to school. There's only one more week left of school and I can't wait to finally be done. Done with school. Done with my so-called family and done with this pack for good!

Thankfully, I make it out of the door, and I'm soon on my way. "Hey, Bon." I look up and smile at Lilly as she comes out of her front door. Lilly has been my best friend since her family joined the pack when I was 4, and I couldn't imagine my life without her. She knows everything about my life, she's never judged me or my situation and has always been there for me. Until Lexi came along, Lily was the only good thing in my life and now that I have both of them I feel blessed. I know it probably sounds dull considering the life that I live, but it's true. I wouldn't want to be without either of them.

Lilly is also the reason why I'm still here, the only reason, even though I turned 18 seven months ago. You see, while my life is hell, so is hers. Her dad is also an abusive man who bullies her every day. He was also abusive to her mom until she sadly passed away a few years ago. Just like my situation, the Alpha knows nothing about the abuse, and her dad keeps her injury to where it can be hidden, as does my Dad. While her dad doesn't hit her as often as my dad hits me, I've often wondered if there's more to her abuse than mine. I'm not sure what it is, but there's just something that doesn't quite sit right with me, and one day I hope she confides in me about it.

Since we've been 9 years old, we have planned to leave the pack once we turned 18. Yes, we could run away before then, but that also means they could search for us, and if they found us, we would pay dearly, whereas if we left once we were 18 they couldn't force us back here, and whereas I turned 18 seven months ago, Lilly is still 17, so that's why I'm still here. Although Lilly is turning 18 in two days, it's almost time to leave. We have had our plan in place for several years, and we're all ready to go.

"Bon, I know we were supposed to leave this weekend while everyone was gone, but what if we just use the ball as our getaway?" I give her a confused look, but she starts speaking again before I can say anything. "Think about it, Bon. The Diamond Pack is 4 hours away from here. If we can make a new plan and get away from there the night of the ball, we will be able to get a good head start before anyone will even notice that we are gone. I doubt anyone will come looking for us, but still, if they do, we will already be far away. I don't want to wait any longer than necessary. I can't."

The pain in her eyes is raw and goes straight to my heart. It may be riskier running from the ball, but I also get why she doesn't want to wait any longer because neither do I. "You're right, Lil. Let's do it. Now we just need to get a new plan together." She smiles while giving me a side hug. "Leave it with me, Bon Bon."

    Alpha Nicholas"This ball is just stupid! What happened to mates just meeting in the usual way? At parties or normal balls like Alpha ceremonies and so on. Why does there need to be a ball just for mates to meet and why the fuck does every pack have to take it in turns to host it? Surely it should be the Alpha's choice!""Nice to see your usual happy personality glowing there, brother!" I flip Shane the middle finger while he laughs his ass off at me. "I swear the older you get, the more grumpy you become." I snort at his words while my parents walk into the room, both laughing. They've clearly heard our conversation. Stupid werewolf hearing! "Fuck off. I'm a dream to be around!" I grunt while I drink my coffee and try to block his annoying voice out."Are you complaining about the ball again, Dad?" Lottie, my daughter, asks as she walks into the dining area and takes a seat across from me. Lottie will be turning 16 in a few weeks and is my whole world. She has the typical teenage atti

    BonnieI wake up with a thick layer of sweat covering my entire body while I struggle to catch my breath. It's not often that my father's abuse finds its way into my dreams, but when it does, it's hell. It's usually the worst kind of beating that haunts my nights and, after the beatings that I received Tuesday night, I'm not surprised that I'm dreaming about it. I have for the last two nights and I don't see it stopping any time soon.Yes, you heard me right. I said beatings, as in more than one. You see, I knew and had accepted that I would be punished after school. One because my dad hadn't finished with me in the morning before Alpha Mind linked him and two because I sneaked out for school without saying a word. I knew that it would make my dad even worse, but I just needed to get away.However, what I wasn't expecting was the kind of revenge he would get on me. Physical or mental abuse along with starvation and taking away my clothes were standard practice for my dad, but this time

    BonnieThe journey to the Diamond Pack is long. Between stopping for toilet breaks, refueling the cars, and a food stop, it's been almost 7 hours, and we're still on our way. A delay on the highway added on an extra hour, which I was grateful for. Being stuck in a car with my dad, brother, and sister, you would think that I would hate it, but the truth is it's the complete opposite.I love to travel, even if it's just by car. I love watching the scenery and all the beautiful things that are out there in the world. And the best part about it is that when we travel, my dad is busy driving while Rowan takes the passenger seat and Blue always has her headphones on while she listens to something, so that means that I get left alone.I wish I could use this time to read the one book that I own. It's my favorite, it was my mom's and while over the years my dad has managed to take away everything that matters to me, that is the one thing that he hasn't managed to find and destroy. And if this

    Alpha Nicholas"All final checks have been done and everything is set and in place for tonight." My brother, Shane announces as he walks into my office with Will right behind him. Not only is Shane my brother, but he's also my Beta while Will is also my brother and Gamma. It's a right family affair. Our youngest brother, Robbie has been offered a title more than once, both Shane and Will are more than happy to share their roles with him and with him having Alpha blood in him he's more than capable of fulfilling both roles but he doesn't want it, never has.He enjoys training with the warriors and helping to train the kids too. Several months ago he came to me asking if he could officially become a warrior and so I granted him that. He knows that he can come to us at any time to change it, but we all see how happy he is and I dont see that changing anytime soon. The moment he became a warrior he became the top warrior of the pack and no that wasn't because of who his family is.After of

    BonnieAfter a few more minutes of chatter, Gamma will escort half of the wolves outside the packhouse, while Beta Shane escorts the rest of us to our rooms in the packhouse. With such a high number of wolves staying here on top of those that already live here, there are a lot of people room sharing but it's only for one night, so I don't see how it will be a problem. Right now, I'm just exhausted and more than ready for a nap in a real bed.We are soon shown to our room, and I'll admit, considering this is just a quest room, it still takes my breath away. There's a massive bed running along the back wall that could easily sleep four people, maybe more. The walls are painted in an off-white color while the carpet, curtains, and accessories are all a deep red.Of to the sides, there are two doors which I assume lead to the bathroom and closet and there's a humongous TV on the bottom wall. I swear it has to be at least 70 inches big. The room itself is huge and more than big enough for

    Alpha NicholasI ran. I saw my mate and I ran. I ran from her, and now I'm currently hiding in my office. I'm a coward and a bastard. What kind of Alpha am I? What kind of man and an Alpha, at that meets his mate and runs? And if that wasn't bad enough, she saw me, and I'm pretty sure she knew who I was. "She did. Her wolf sensed us. She knew we were their mates and you fucking ran!" This is the first time Storm has spoken to me since it happened almost 30 minutes ago. He is furious with me and I get it and I don't blame him for being mad."I'm sorry Storm, I am. But I can't... I just can't." Before he can reply, my office door flies open as pissed-looking Will and Shane stomp in. "What the fuck is going on? Is something wrong?" I was about to chew him a new ass for just storming in here, but I quickly realize that he's not only pissed but concerned, both of them are.I knock back the rest of the top-notch whiskey that I've been nursing this whole time and enjoy the burn as it slides d

    BonnieHe ran, my mate saw me and ran, and the worst part of it all was that a small part of me felt shocked. Stupid girl! Growing up every wolf hears the stories of how mates meet, of how they have an instant love, instant connection and are immediately glued at the hip and yet my mate saw me and ran away from me like his ass was on fire and I allowed myself to be disappointed with that, why? Why did I do that to myself when let's be honest, both my wolf and I already knew that our mate wouldn't be interested in us so what just happened shouldn't be a surprise."Hmm, no way missy. You're the only one who thinks that, so don't drag me into your negative thoughts." Lexi practically growls causing my head to thump. Ok, so maybe she is right about that but so am I, because he did exactly what I knew he would, exactly what my family has always told me would happen. "Maybe it was just a shock and he needed a moment to gather his thoughts. Maybe he wasn't expecting to meet his mate tonight a

    Alpha NicholasAfter two hours of playing nice and actively avoiding my mate, it's time for the sit-down meal part of the night and of course, I have to make a speech and I'm not looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong I love being Alpha and I love all of my pack members even more, and it's always an honor to have other packs go out of their way to come here but I just hate all the mindless conversations that I have to entire, and the times that I have to play nice with someone that I do not want to.I get on with most of the people that I come across in life but now and again I get a strange feeling towards someone, a feeling that they are bad and the worst part of it is that in the past, when it has happened, I have ended up being right about them. Tonight I have had the same feeling with two wolves that I have met, one of them being the Beta to a fucking pack. I got talking to him and another guy, a warrior in the same pack and I swear that they made my skin crawl. Don't get me wr

    BonnieI'd be lying if I said that hearing those words out of Lottie's mouth didn't break my heart and I can both sense and feel that Nick feels the same. There are so many things that I want to say to her right now, but I hold back both wanting and feeling that Nick should take the lead here.He takes a deep breath while keeping his eyes locked with hers. "If that's the truth, then yes, that's what I want to hear. We need to get to the bottom of whatever is going on, no matter how hard it may be for you to say or for us to hear." Nick tries to remain calm, but I can feel his emotions, and they are all over the place. "So, is that the truth?"She nods her head as she wipes more tears away from her eyes. "Why, sweetheart? Why are you feeling jealous?" She stares at Nick, but I can see it in her eyes. She is struggling to word what she wants to say, but I'm pretty sure that I have it figured out, so I just go with it and blurt it out. "Lottie, am I right in thinking that you're jealous

    BonnieI hate the feeling that everyone is currently against Lottie, or having any kind of bad thoughts against her, and while I know it's stupid given the situation, I just can't help it. There is already a protective streak inside me when it comes to Lottie and, regardless of the situation, it's hard to switch off."Lottie, would you like to tell your grandparents and uncles what you have done, or even better why?" Nick asks her, although it's more of a command than a question. Lottie's face slightly pales while everyone in the room just looks confused, and I get it.While Lottie is a typical 16-year-old girl with hair, makeup and talks about finding mates being a part of her daily life, from what I've been told and come to learn myself since I've been here, it doesn't appear that Lottie has caused a lot of trouble in her life. She seems to be a pretty well-behaved girl, so I can only imagine that everyone is a bit confused right now.I grab my mate's attention and lean into him, ke

"Lottie, She said that you don't want any more children. She said that you have never wanted any other children aside from her." What the fuck is my daughter playing at?While I know that my daughter isn't innocent because let's be honest, no children are, I still can't imagine her ever being mean to Bonnie, especially over a baby, and her baby brother or sister at that. Growing up, she had always wanted a sibling, so why would she react like this now? Whatever her reason, I'm fucking angry and my pregnant mate is completely heartbroken, and I want this shit sorted out right now!"Where is she?" I growl. I'm trying to keep my anger under control, but it's so fucking hard right now. "I don't want this to... I..." Before she can finish her sentence she breaks down crying once more, and I swear that every single tear that she shreds feels like it te

    Bonnie After not feeling well for a few days, I was starting to get a little worried. Werewolves don't generally get ill, but here I was constantly tired. I was sick in the mornings and my appetite was all over the place and yet, I still didn't put the pieces together, but Nick's mom did. Earlier today, while the guys were down in the cells, she came to see me. Nick had gone to her worried about me and, because so far I had refused to see a doctor, he had asked her to come and see me, hoping that maybe he could figure out what was wrong with me.Of course, within minutes of me telling her what was wrong, she had worked it out all while a massive smile appeared on her face. The moment she told me that she was certain that I was pregnant, I wanted to pass out. Of course, looking back now, I realize that the symptoms were all there screaming in my face, but for some reason, I had missed them all.I generally hadn't even thought about the possibility that I could be pregnant, which was s

    Alpha NicholasThe moment I step on to the Alpha floor, I feel my body instantly start to relax and, after a quick chat with my parents, my dad ushers her, the girls and the guards out of my lounge and off my floor, clearly sensing my need for alone time with my mate, which I appreciate. Before he left, he insisted on having the guards stationed at the bottom of the stairs that lead to my floor, which I have no problem with. They are close enough for our protection, more importantly, the protection of my mate, but also far enough away not to impose on any of my alone time with my mate. The stairs that they are now guarding are the only way to gain access to my floor, so I can finally allow my mind to settle and forget about all the shit that's going on, even if it's only for a few hours.When I first stepped on to our floor, I could faintly smell Bonnie's scent, but the moment I entered our bedroom it hit me in the face like a hammer, and I'm instantly in need of her.

Shane asks Alberto as I sit back and let him take the reins. "That's what I was hoping for," he grunts."What? Why?" Robbie asks, taking the words right out of my mouth. "I figured that while I couldn't come to you off my own back if you caught me while we were trying to hide and escape, then it was out of my control." I'll give it to him, it wasn't the smartest move in the world but not the worst either."So you hoped that we would find you and bring you here so that you could tell us what was going on? Maybe hoped that we would help you?" Shane asks. Alberto nods, agreeing while shifting himself in his seat, looking uncountable. "There's no way that you didn't think that there was a chance that we would kill you for the betrayal before you could even tell us anything. What if our men had kil

Is he relieved that he told us? My reaction to his words is to call bullshit but something inside of me holds me back. I think Nick was right to want to listen to him before acting because, while I’m not sure if he’s 100% telling me the truth, I’m also not sure that he isn’t.There’s something in his voice and a look in his eyes that leads me to believe that he could be telling me the truth, but if he is, then how the fuck have they managed to get their hands on her? How did any of this happen?“I don’t understand… you’d better start explaining this, Alberto. And by explain I mean from beginning to end and not missing out on anything. I want every single detail."

They hurt people that they have worked alongside for years. People that they have stood side by side with during good and bad times.
