Kristy POVI wake up to an empty bed. I reach for my phone on the nightstand and look at the time. 1 P.M. SHIT! It is already noon and I am still in bed. I rush out of bed to my closet and grab the first thing I see. A pair of purple leggings with a blue sweatshirt. doesn't really match but who cares. I rush downstairs and notice the Alpha house is completely empty. Axel is not in his office and not in the kitchen or living room. I put the kettle on to make some tea. In the meantime, I try to mindlink Axel but he blocks me out. I walk up to the refrigerator to grab some milk when I notice a note stuck on the refrigerator. "I will be back before dark xx" I sigh, take the note off the refrigerator, and put it in the trash can. Is he for real? A note? What is he up to now? Why so suspicious 'Will be back before dark' What is that supposed to mean? Why not let me know where he went? How long has he been gone for? My own mind is starting to drive me crazy with all these questions I am as
Axel POV.It is currently still dark. I wake up from someone shouting my name. I look next to me and Kristy is fast asleep. I walk up to the window but I see nothing."Axel" I hear again. I look over to Kristy but she has not moved an inch."Alpha!" Then it hits me that I am being mind linked. I rub my face trying to wake up."Yes?" I reply still standing in front of the window."I have something. I needed to contact you when I found something in Hunter's blood. Can you come to the lab?" Now I realize that it is Dr. Spine that is contacting me. What time is it? I walk over to my side of the bed and grab my phone to look at the time. It is 4.30 A.M. "Dr. Spine do you have any idea what time it is?" "I know Alpha and I apologize for waking you up. I would not contact you if it could not wait until the morning. I have been working all night and finally found something. You need to see this for yourself.""Fine, I am up already now. I will meet you in the lab." I close the link and put
Axel POV I wake up in the middle of the woods. It is still dark outside, I have no idea what time it is. I look down and I am completely naked covered in mud. Onyx must have had his fun in the woods. I look around and notice that I am close to home. I feel drops falling on my face. It is starting to rain, of course. It starts with a few drops, the leaves on the trees hold back the rain a little bit. I look up and regret it instantly because it starts to rain as if the gates have opened and someone threw a bucket of water on earth. I make a run for it and quickly get inside. I go to the first level, to one of the bedrooms. I don't want to wake Kristy up. I turn on the shower and quickly hop in. After washing myself I walk over to the laundry room. Luckily there are some clothes in the dryer. Jeans and a sweatshirt but no socks. Do I risk going upstairs and potentially waking up Kristy? No, I guess no socks today. I quickly get dressed and go outside back to the clinic to get my car
Kristy POV. It is almost dark when I hear Axel's car pull up in the driveway. My grandmother is still here. I have been nervous all day. I am pregnant. I don't know how to tell him. I don't know if I have ever been this scared before. What if he doesn't want it? We have a lot on our minds right now. I wish my mom was here or Olivia. I don't feel like I have anybody here. I know I have Axel and my grandmother. I am grateful for them, but it is not the same. The pack members are family, but I don't have any friends here. I don't have anybody to turn to. Not like how I can with Olivia. She would always cheer me up or distract me from all the shit that is going on. I miss her so much. Now we are divided. I did not imagine that I would ever be without her. We were supposed to share everything. When the time would come that we would have children, they were supposed to grow up together and be best friends, just like us. I would have been the first female Alpha of the pack, and she would
POV. Kristy.Summer has come to an end. This is my last school year. Unlike my classmates, I am not studying for a job. Being the alpha's daughter, I am next in line for Alpha. Standing outside the big white building with my bag over my shoulder. Teenagers laugh and catch up with each other about their summer. Seems like a normal school, right? Only we are all werewolves. We have our own community. A pack.In the corner of my eye, I see someone waving with excitement. I turn around and see Olivia. My best friend. She runs up to me, hugging me. “Long time no see," she says. Olivia is a tall blonde. She is Delta’s daughter. “Ready?” she asks, looking at me with frowning eyebrows. I am still staring at the big white building. “Yes, let's do this,” I say, while I straighten my back. I let a deep breath go.We walk into the school building, where the halls are filled with laughing and chatting teenagers. Everyone moves aside as we walk by. Since I am the
Matthias walks over to me. I am backed up against my locker, still in my towel. He slaps his hand next to my head against a locker. He looks down at me. “You embarrassed me" he growls. “Ah, you angry you couldn’t win from a girl boohoo,” I say in a mocking voice making tears with my hands against my eyes. He slams the locker with his hand coming closer with his face towards mine. “You’ll be my mate. Mark my words. I won’t be tolerating this behavior once I am alpha". “Ha, right" I laugh at him. “ I am scared already” I fake shiver and turn around to get dressed. “Now get lost I need to get dressed,” I tell him waiting for him to leave. He growls at me and leaves. I hear his heavy footsteps walk out the doors. I put my long dark brown hair in a ponytail and put my shorts and shirt on.When I walk out of the shower building I see my dad waiting for me.“I’ll give you a ride home.” He says leaving no room for an argument.The ride home is quiet. Driving
POV Axel.I stare at her as she disappears into the Forrest. Finally, I have found my mate. But she is Jack’s freaking daughter. Why her? I ask myself as I walk back home. What was she doing on our side of the border anyway? And why would she think I am a rogue wolf?I walk through the back door and I am headed to the kitchen. As I walk into the kitchen I see my beta Hunter with a pack of milk in his mouth. “What happened to you,” he asks almost choking on the milk. “Nothing, shouldn’t you be in bed?” I reply while opening the fridge looking for something to drink.“Says who?” Hunter repliesHe has a point. Hunter is my beta and also my best friend. Basically a brother. His parents died when he was 8 years old. My parents took him in like he was their own. We grew up together.“So are you going to tell me what happened?” He asks staring at me as I pour a glass of orange juice. “Fine," I tell him knowing he won’t give up until I tell him what had happened.
POV Kristy. I arrive at school. I walk through the hallways searching for Olivia. I need to find her and tell her what happened. I need to tell someone, I don’t know what to do. I walk into the girl's bathroom. There she is, finally.“There you are I have been looking all over for you. I need to tell you something.” I tell her as I check to see if there is anybody else in the bathroom. Olivia looks confused. “I found my mate.” I whisper, still afraid someone will hear us. “O my god! That’s amazing who is it!?”“Shhh.. not so loud it’s not that amazing. It’s Alpha Axel.” “Alpha Axel? What. Why. How did you find out?” Olivia askes confused.I tell her everything that happened last night.“Your dad is going to kill you. Or him. Or both.”“I know. What should I do? Obviously, I can’t tell him.”“But if you don’t tell him you found your mate, he will let Matthias mark you.”Shivers run down my spine at the thought alone. No, I don’t want that either.
