The Elites

2024-10-29 19:42:56“I say we throw another party.” Ky picked at some flowers sprouting up in between the grass. “We could host it.”
The night after the party, we’d gone home to a concerned pack. Apparently in our absence, our parents had discussed action towards the most recent events. My father had ordered us to stay home from school for the next week, given the circumstances. The other youths hadn’t complained and they were loving their time off, but I was losing my mind. It was now Wednesday, and I hadn’t spoken to Hugo or Byron since the party. I shot them both short texts explaining that I wouldn’t be in for that week and both boys had responded but I hadn’t even read the messages. My phone was tucked away in my drawer, untouched for the last few days. In all honesty, the youths patrolling had taken up all my time. We spent most of our vacation in wolf form, running along our borders all day, looking for signs of intruders. My fa

I sat uncomfortably on my couch as they stepped inside. I would have much rather been in the forest, but I could see the relief in my father’s eyes when I’d returned. The youths sat around me, highlighting the strength of the future pack to be formed from Shadowfang. The Elites were followed in by the youths from Redclaw, who took their place on the floor around us. The Shadowfang elders were positioned all around the room, but mostly in the kitchen. Byron say beside me, looking straight ahead. He didn’t even look up to greet his friends as they joined us. Four Elites joined my father in the middle of the living room. My father lowered his gaze as they stared at him. “Chano Flores, what an honor.” A thin, redheaded woman stepped forward and held out her hand. I caught sight of the Redclaw elders I’d seen at the bar slinking into the kitchen to join my pack elders. I didn’t have time to question why they were here. My father took the redheaded wom

“So, party at our cabin?” Ky leaned back in his chair, popping a gummy bear into his mouth. After the week we’d had off, school felt like it was lasting years. I longed to be home, running through the trees once more. I wanted nothing but to be in wolf form, among my fellow packmates. I saw Mel’s fingers twitch as she stared into empty space and realized she must be thinking the same thing. I squeezed her shoulder comfortingly and she smiled up at me. “I’m sure your pack would love to welcome a bunch of strange human youths into their territory to drink and make a bunch of noise.” Damien flashed him a mocking smile. “Let it go, man.” “Oh, come on.” Ky sighed. “You’re all dragging me down.” “We could throw our own party.” Ava smiled at him. “Just the pack. We could even get a keg; we all know how much you like those.&rdqu
Alpha's Honor The Truth
“My name is Cassidy, or, that’s what everyone calls me.” He offered me a small smile. We’d left the park and were headed to a more secluded place, as he’d put it. He was willing to talk, I could see it in his eyes, but he wasn’t sure he trusted me just yet. I wasn’t sure I trusted him either. In retrospect, we were both playing it smart and dumb. I wasn’t sure who was the player and the played in this situation. He led the way into the abandoned warehouse and I almost choked on the stale air inside. It was fairly chilly outside, but in here, it was freezing and impossibly decayed. The walls were crumbling, after years of abandonment. The floors were caked in dust and spattered with unidentifiable fluids. The entire building was covered in graffiti, left behind my intruders. Someone had left this ruin to rot on its foundation a long time ago. He led me up a flight of stairs to the second floor, which looked jus
Alpha's Honor Ch 20
By the time I’d left Cass, school was out. We’d spent hours talking and I’d come to find him intriguing in many ways. Even though he’d shared some of his life with me, I could tell there was so much more he was hiding. I didn’t mind, seeing I was doing the same. We had a mutual understanding, but that didn’t mean we trusted one another. I headed the way of the library, knowing I wanted to see Hugo as much as I needed to work on the project. As soon as I stepped into the building, I could smell him. His scent was as fresh as the face sitting behind the counter. The librarian smiled up at me briefly before returning to typing on her laptop. I’d never noticed her before and she must have been new, because I was sure her scent was unfamiliar. Not that I knew very many people in town. I shrugged it off and headed to the lounge area, where I knew Hugo would be. As I approached, he glanced up from the book he was
Alpha's Honor Challenged
I awoke earlier than the others, for intended purpose. I was itching for a run and I needed more than wanted to do it alone. My wolf barely let me get down the stairs before it surfaced, shifting mid-stride. I stifled a howl, one that desperately wanted to be let out to express my joy. The clouds in the sky were so close to pouring down on the forest, I could smell it. Rain would be on us within the hour. This was my only thought as I ran through the trees, farther away from my packhouse. Returning home hadn’t been as hard as I’d thought. My father was so caught up in the rouges he didn’t even know I’d skipped school. I wasn’t a rebellious teen looking for attention, but it had struck a nerve. My paws padded against the earth as I slowed to a walk, letting the scents of the forest wash over me. It took me a moment to realize where my wariness came from. I lowered my muzzle to the ground and tested the air, noting the dried blood.
Alpha's Honor Moving On
There were no books in front of him this time and he wore a look of worry on his face. As soon as he saw me he leaned forward in his chair and waited for me to find my own seat. I sat beside him, taking care to keep my distance. “Are you okay?” His words were so genuine, so sincere, I almost forgot about the things I had to say to him. Almost. “You can’t sit with us anymore and you need to stay away from the other wolves.” The words blurted from my mouth in a rush. They were followed with a long silence in which I was sure he’d yell or scream. He did neither, instead staring at me with a blank expression. “But Mel and Fyn…” “Mel and Fyn know their place and it’s with the pack. I know you were just being friendly, but it ends now. Stay away from them and stay away from Byron. Don’t talk to any of them, don’t look at
Alpha's Honor Confrontational
“We need to up the rounds as much as we can.” Benton, Mel’s father and my father's Second, clenched his fists in frustration. “We’ve already done that.” My father looked stressed. “A boy is missing. Do you want one of ours to be next?” Benton continued. I listened intently as they discussed the means of Casey’s disappearance. It had been three weeks since the day in the library, but Hugo’s words were fresh in my mind. I thought of him a lot, even catching myself glancing at him in class from time to time. He stayed true to his word and kept his distance. That only made it worse, for me anyway. My pack was content with the distance. They’d gone back to their usual happy selves, enjoying in each other’s company when it came. Lane and I had reconciled and I learned he was actually an interesting character. He and Axel were the least trusting of the all the youths of
Alpha's Honor Tracking the Truth
On a normal Saturday afternoon, I would take advantage of my free time and go for a run or join the patrol. The last few Saturday’s had been spent hanging out with the Redclaw youths, but not this one. That Saturday, I needed some time to think. I hadn’t told my pack about Lance’s informative story, and definitely not Bryon’s pack. It seemed like the secrets were piling on top of each other. I waited until my pack was busy with their weekend tasks and told my father I was going to the library to do homework. The town was busy so it was easy for me to blend into the crowd on the sidewalk. I shoved my hands into my jacket pockets and kept my eyes ahead. I tried to appear as an aimless window shopper, though I’d never window shopped and I felt like I was doing a horrible job at pretending. I caught a familiar scent and my eyes flickered to a coffee shop where Quinn and her friend group were emerging from. She sipped from a steaming cup

Alpha's Honor Take a Chance
Hugo prepared to pounce again, steady and stealth. As little experience he had with this form, it came so naturally to him. I might have admired it, if he weren’t about to attack Byron. I snapped myself out of my daze, my instincts screaming to move. Move where? This wasn’t my fight. Hugo had challenged Byron for the pack. For me. This wasn’t the human; this was the wolf. Pure wolf instinct. Doc had said not to engage. Maybe engaging is what had prolonged Hugo’s conscious state. He was supposed to have passed out by now, but then again, he was not the average wolf. He was an Alpha. I wasn’t even sure that was possible, but everything about the midnight wolf told me otherwise. I watched his body tense, but just before he jumped, he slumped to the side with a whimper. Byron’s ears perked up, not understanding. The midnight wolf was Hugo again, and Hugo was unconscious. The episode was over. It took us all several seco
Alpha's Honor Mine
I was the first in the room, followed closely by Cass and Hanon. The other wolves, rogue or pack, didn’t move past the entrance. They peered in with morbid curiosity but couldn’t bring themselves to experience this up close. This room looked to be a second living room, with one couch and a tv set up on the opposite wall. Hugo had been set on the couch initially, but with all the thrashing and screaming, he had to be moved to the floor. “There’s a bed upstairs…” Hanon began, but Doc cut him off. “One hit from him in this state could be lethal. He doesn’t have control of himself. We can’t risk it, for the sake of everyone he will remain here.” Hanon nodded, but I was wondering how Doc knew that. No one else but Doc would come close to his son, except me. I knelt beside him and he handed me a warm rag. “Wipe his forehead but be watchful of his hands.”
Alpha's Honor Stand Down
The rogues had recruits come in soon after the fight had died down. The elders ended up trading places with my youths, having their wrists and ankles bound. My pack didn’t make a move towards me, but I could see they wanted to. I hadn’t moved from my place on the floor, cradling Hugo’s head in my lap. He hadn’t moved since the injection, but his breathing had gotten stronger. I could see the wound already working to heal. Whether or not he made it, my blood was a natural remedy for his wounds. Byron’s youths took seats on the stairs, watching the rogues warily. They weren’t bound, since they hadn’t made a move to attack. I wanted to know what he was thinking, but I couldn’t bring myself to ask. I’d come too far from the girl he thought I was, there was no going back. From the corner of my eye, I saw the rogues ease into the sofas. All except Doc, who sat near me, and my father, who’d taken to guarding the Redc
Alpha's Honor A change
It wasn’t until I heard his voice that I noticed his scent entwining with the others in the room. There were so many werewolves in such an enclosed space, it had been so easy to miss at first. He stepped from around the corner. No one moved. This made him smile as he reached for the door. Several Redclaw elders entered, stone faced and ready. They were followed by the Redclaw youths and…my father. If I hadn’t been fearful before, I definitely was now. My father didn’t look at me; he looked through me. I heard commotion and seconds later, my pack was pushed through the door. They were not coming in willingly. This was a relief as much as it was horrifying. Fyn came in last, his bound hands tearing at the Redclaw elder that held onto him. I saw his nails slash across the elders face and bright red blood appear. Enraged, the older wolf shoved him as hard as possibly able. Fyn hit the ground with a sickening thud. My instinct was to rush to him, but I was
Alpha's Honor New
Doc hurried upstairs to retrieve the man I’d heard so much about. I didn’t know what made me more uncomfortable; Hugo walking home when Redclaw could be stalking for him at the very moment or knowing the man who convinced my mother to betray her pack and the Elites was right above my head. I tensed as the stairs creaked. It was almost dramatic, how his feet appeared, then his legs, then his torso, and finally his face. He was a broad man, every inch of him screaming Alpha. Equal. This was the silent confirmation. He was my equal. He was an alpha. An alpha without a pack. When he stepped into the living room and looked up, his face paled. It was such an odd sight to see. His face didn’t look like it drained of color very often. I watched him with unease. Doc and Cass stepped into the hall, leaving me alone with this man. He took a step towards me and I took a step back, my lip pulling in a snarl. He put his hands up, realizing his mistake, and nodded affirmingly. “You’re Natalia.” He
Alpha's Honor The Big Man Himself
I knocked on the door for the third time. I knew it was only my impatience, but it felt like it was taking too long for them to answer. They had to be home. They had to be. I strained to hear past the door, but there was nothing. Silence. Deafening silence. My wolf paced in the corner of my mind, whining at the anticipation. Finally, I heard the latch on the door unhook and watched the knob turn. Doc’s face peeked at me through the small opening, but this wasn’t an invitation for me to come in. No, he was staring at me with confusion. “Natalia?” I froze. My heart stopped. The undeniable stench, foreign to an average human home, hit my nose like a warning. Wolf. Move. Trying to be as kind as I could manage, I shoved my foot into the opening and pried it open. Doc’s eyes widened but I kept going until there was enough room for me to slip in. I put my fingers to my lips when I saw him about to speak. He reached out a hand to grab me, but I shrugged him off and continued into the ha
Alpha's Honor Ch 31
It wasn’t until Byron leapt on me and I fell hard on my back that I realized what was happening. I shifted instantly; my wolf already prepared. This is what I’d been trained for. This is something I knew and understood. Attack. Fight. Defend. I ignored the pain from my fall and twisted my body, eventually getting a decent enough hit to Byron’s underbelly to make him jump back. He landed lopsided and scrambled to gain his balance again. It was only a few seconds, but it was enough for me to get to my feet and prepare for the second attack. It never came. Byron’s wolfish eyes met mine and he stilled. It was only then that I realized he hadn’t made a sound the entire attack. His lip wasn’t curled back the way mine was. His muscles weren’t tensed. In fact, he looked almost at peace. This unnerved me. He’s not your friend, Natalia. His thoughts came so clearly to me. Because yo
Alpha's Honor Ch 30
I shot out of my seat. “Excuse me?” My father raised a hand to silence me. “Cedric and I have been trying to put together a meeting to talk about the union. We didn’t think something like this would happen, but this has been planned a week in advance.” “Reschedule.” I gritted my teeth. My father’s eyes hardened. Even from where I stood I could feel the power coming off him. His wolf had awakened by the challenge, but my father was calm. He had many years on us and knew how to control himself better than we did.. “Not an option.” He said coolly. “We aren’t in any mood to see Redclaw today.” He shrugged. “That’s your issue, not mine. The union must be discussed. It’s business, Natalia. I have a deal to uphold.” “No, you mean I have a deal to uphold. You need me to hold this meeting and I’m telling you to reschedule.” “Luckily for me, you’re not my Alpha.” He

Fyn draped an arm over my shoulder as we pushed through the cafeteria door. It was a friendly gesture to us, but it drew a few eyes from surrounding tables. I saw Fyn smile, enjoying the attention. I glanced back enough to see Jace take Mel’s hand; the gesture was so subtle but I knew I was seeing the beginning of something. I caught sight of Byron, leaning back in his chair and smiling at Claire, who sat beside him. The Redclaw wolves didn’t look uncomfortable around Chelsea’s friends; the same group they’d spent most of the last three years with. This triggered me, knowing that they’d nearly torn into Shadowfang for befriending Hugo and his friends. So, only they were allowed to hang out with humans? Not likely. We came upon a table that was erupting in laughter. The group of humans were enjoying themselves and their break time. It was only the sight of us sliding into the empty chairs around the table that silenced them. I sat beside Hu
