I sacrificed a full day of lessons to get that place organised, but it was worth it. Every part of me ached as I scrubbed the full room. Big enough to house six, its rusted bunk beds, whilst not shining, were at least clean and germ-free. There were no broken windows at least, just the busted door lock. Even so I slept like a log. A run seemed the best way to start off this new phase. At least I could artificially boost my mood by getting out into the wilderness before the sun made it unbearably hot. In just my black sports bra and black fitted shorts I tied the door shut with some string and set off. Like a misty morning’s fog burning off to reveal the blue sky above, my mind cleared. Every kilometre I felt braver, more like myself. This whole thing was a temporary setback. I can run to the nearest town from here, I’ll be able to get a job. Maybe Rhett will be able to lend me a bicycle. I turned from the path into one of the surrounding orchards. Following the strict straightly pl

Dex looked around to make sure we were completely alone before continuing, his olive skinned arms glistening in the sun. I wanted to concentrate fully but that black edge of his tattoo continued to peek out from under the hem of his t shirt. “So, Alpha Austin of Greenway Pack…last Conference he implied that a section of the widowed Lady Gwyneth’s territory should be returned to his pack. It’s a lie. He’s testing the water to see who would stand up for the Highton pack.” Managing to switch the lustful, hungry side of my mind I off I listened properly, as if it was my job, “How did the leaders fall?” “I openly disagreed with Austin but it is my fathers move to make. Luna Madeline and Alpha Frank are clearly on Austin’s side. Eduardo challenged in the meeting but he would never stick his neck on the line. Not even for me.She’s on her own.” “But you want to help her?” He kicked the dirt as we got back onto the track, heading past some other rundown accommodation blocks. “I do, not on

“Dex,” she said, shivering under my caresses. At hearing her whisper my name my soul soared. Alba was pushing, urging me to wrap her up tighter to me, to keep her safe from every dickhead out there. As she kissed me back, her lips softly sought out my neck and collarbone, her little slim fingers toying with my hair in a way I didn’t even know I adored. “Let me help Kate, I’m not going to hurt you.” “Just…make me forget all the other stuff,” she whispered into my neck, as my hands continued to feel all the bare skin her running gear displayed. Earlier, when Alba sensed she was running by me I felt like a bolt of lightning had struck. I was frozen, watching her move through the tree line, honey hair bouncing in a ponytail, that beautiful figure of hers athletic yet moving like a dancer. I’m an Alpha, I run for nobody and yet I found myself chasing down a girl who until two minutes ago insisted she hated me. /Won’t she need to get clean for classes/ Alba suggested, giving me pos

Reluctantly getting dressed and heading towards my remaining classes I told myself it was a good thing Dex left the way he did. It took all my willpower to break that link, to remind myself I had more to myself than falling into his bed. I need to pass this Assessment. Because while Dex likes me now, I could lose everything if I were to gamble on him and let the Assessment slide. His dark eyes glimmered with emotion, his body tensed as if he could tear down the walls in one stroke. Through his soaked t-shirt I had finally made out the pattern of his tattoo. I had assumed it was small, peeping out of his sleeve hem, however a huge swirling intricate black pattern of snakes, moon, stars, and a dozen other tiny little features travelled down across shoulder blades. I’m never going to get to ask about that now. Little things like that made me wince with regret. I was torn between my brain, logic and reason and the very depths of my soul. Tenderly wrapping the towel around my body,

I don’t give a shit about what Kate thinks she has going on with Alpha Dex. She has no idea what passed between us at that bonfire. How close I came to making those night-time fantasies a reality. When I finally felt the heat of his gaze, his eyes and smile only for me my core practically exploded in longing. I was ready to go, there and then, fluttering my eyelashes, his gaze floating down my curves. He fucking loved it. He did. Had his stupid Beta with the hair like a shaggy dog not whisked him away who knows where the night would have taken us. Kate is being ridiculous to suggest she has been seeing him. Maybe she's saying it just to hurt my feelings. /But why would she lie? Kate doesn’t lie/ Bree whined annoyingly. I enjoy my chats with Berlarot a lot more these days. I sometimes shift, head the far borders of the pack and just vent to him. His oozing black form is bigger than a large dog now, leaving a slick trail of oil behind. Curiously he still has no face, in the bla

The only good thing about getting chewed out by my father so viciously was that I got to miss Rose’s dinner party. Honestly she doesn’t realise the whole bunch of them are only there to suck up to her. It’s a competitive, bloodthirsty world up at the top of the rankings, all hoping the right words of flattery will seal the deal. It was at that dinner party last year that Seraphine made her move if I recall. I had been talking to Rose when she suddenly became quite ill. I offered to escort her to the bathroom, as soon as we were out of sight she grabbed me and pulled my lips to hers. Who was I to say no? As she expertly sucked my cock in the packhouse bathroom I thought of it as a win. Her blue eyes had gazed up at me as I twisted her dark brown ponytail around my fingers. it makes me cringe. I expect everyone in the compound to respect me as yet I have acted pretty shabbily. If anything good at all can come of Kate breaking things off, it’s me improving as an Alpha. Shaping up.

I’ve fallen out with Roxie in the past but never for this long. A full week of silent treatment, neither of us ready to say a single word. In the orphanage it was impossible, we slept in the same room, had limited places to go. In the Compound I could quite easily avoid her completely apart from the classes we shared. I was relentless in my note taking and revising. I lived in the library, its white plastered walls and long lines of shelves as familiar to me as the damp, depressing walls of my new home. I knew where I could quietly be left alone, free from the whispers and pointing of others. I’d revised so hard. I am even fairly competent at some Dark Arts now. The next exam focused on witchcraft. The differences between them and shifters. How a shifter using the natural, Moon Goddess approved spirits that surrounds us was different to the manipulation used by witches. Although called Dark Arts, it is more a form of meditation, connecting to the Moon Goddess on a higher level for

Another scalding hot outdoor session of fighting beckoned. This was our first exam to involve shifting. I’ve spent the past week avoiding the orchard, instead allowing Raya to just go nuts in the opposite direction. Heading out of the compound the way we hiked on our second day, getting right into the heat and dust. Seeing as I had nobody to spar with, nor had I ever fought in wolf-form beyond the training sessions the best I could do was improve our fitness. Raya was a lovely little wolf, all brown fur and honey-coloured eyes. /We are getting stronger, you never know we might do well/ she had crowed happily, enjoying being in her natural, spiritual state. Shifted, I understood the Dark Arts a lot more as well. Embodying a wolf pushes you infinitely closer to nature. Every scent, echo, swirling cloud of dust catches the senses more intensely. So of course, why wouldn’t one want to encourage that bond, to get closer to nature. Standing in my training gear with everyone else we await

Anything For The Alpha EPILOGUE
###ONE YEAR LATER###KATESo I’m Luna Kate now. We had a big, outdoor ceremony that everyone appeared to see. Dex wore all black, looking absolutely unreal. I wore a long fitted red gown, in keeping with the ruby in his eyes and the colours of Fyrestone. Almost everybody was there, of course Roxie was not.Dex and I have taken the bike to Verna a few times since that first outing. I think it’s his favourite thing to do when life gets a bit much. We also haven’t made it back once without having stopped mid-way home. Something about the adrenalin of the tattoo gun I guess.I did get a tattoo added for Roxie in the end. It took me a while to think about what I wanted but in the end I had a twisting, mixed up lightning bolt. Not a cheesy, pointy outline, but the crackling, thin shards that splinter across a dark sky. It is on the side of my ribs, surrounded by the constellations of the Fyrestone compound.It stood for all the lightning and thunderstorms we sheltered in together as children

Just for a while we switched off. There was a whole world of shit to deal with back at the packhouse. Dex hadn’t yet mentioned the gigantic black opal ring of his fathers that was now on his hand either. The drunken bonfire blowout tonight sounded absolutely perfect to be honest, it wasn’t even something I usually enjoyed doing. So much had happened it sounded amazing to just relax for a few hours.I knew he was stressed about Rhett being so weakened, the fact there was no way Glenn and Ariel would be able to live happily under the scorching sun of Fyrestone. However right now, tearing along the red dust ground at a dangerously fast speed it didn’t matter for a while.He took the bends with rough, sharp leans that made me hold my breath and cling onto his chest for dear life as we raced across the desert plains. His leather jacket smelt so delicious, the bonfire scent that first captured my heart fast becoming a permanent part of me. I wondered if he found himself smelling of grass e

Finally, after what feels like weeks we are back in Fyrestone. The whole campus turns out to greet our return. Matt and Felix are treated like living gods, one blonde girl with red lipstick, Cherry I think, particularly clinging onto Matt as the student feted two of their own winning a war.The cars that arrived to fetch us from Foxton were gratefully received. The men were tired and ready to recuperate. Of course, it was only what was expected of them. To be classed as a Warrior meant to risk your lives and battle for the pack. Fyrestone had lost several men as well. A lot of them nearer my fathers generation, men he was reluctant to let out to pasture. My selection of younger, sleeker warrior students and recent graduates had all survived. My father and Rose were waiting at the Packhouse for us, alongside a scarily-slimmed down Rhett. His ashy blonde hair tied in a topknot and a smile brimming on his ridiculously bushy beard. If he had looked almost feral before, he certainly did

With a heavy heart we had to leave. Cliffrill, Foxton and other packs needed Dex’s presence. When I told Roxie she was almost enthusiastic at the prospect of being left. “Go, go be the Luna, it’s fine. I don’t want everyone here watching me scab over anyway.” she had insisted.I did wonder how much of it was getting rid of me, or knowing that the sooner we left the sooner Felix would be gone. He tried again to talk to her but Mina had to show him out when Roxie refused to see him.Now Mina and Olaf are mated, very happily so by the sounds ringing out day and night she is coming with us. So we have had to entrust Roxie’s final healing to Etherly. Still a petite, sour faced little thing I sat her down for a talk as we prepared to leave.“Are you happy Austin has gone?”“Not particularly,” she said with a scowl, her petite features against twenty years every time she creased up so sourly. “I had a good life here.”“There is nothing to stop you having a good life elsewhere. This place was

Fuck me I owe Olaf a drink. Maybe ten. He can have every jewel in this shithole.The sight of Kate standing there in the gardens, not that she was really eyeing up the silent giant was enough to make Alba go wild. The green silk slip she wore was fluttering softly in the breeze, her eyes so brown and soulful combined with that honey hair. I was rock hard before I even stood behind her.Now I’m watching as my mate keeps her eyes on me, unzipping my pants on her knees. I know it’s maybe immature, enjoying the risk of being outside but it’s something Alba and I have in common. Fuck, it’s clearly something Kate likes too, she’s been bent over a balcony howling before now so this is junior league in comparison.When she started teasing me, suggesting things I could do to her she had no idea how wild it drives me. Or maybe she does know exactly what she’s doing, in which case she deserves my cock in her mouth even more.Her plump perfectly pink lips kissing and wrapping around the head of m

The tender-hearted bear of a man who waited outside the door was soon replaced by a different beast entirely. On waking up he flexed his Alpha authority with ease. Ordering his collection of men into different brigades, plus reserves arrived with supplies and information. Almost twenty hours after the battle was won and the dust was starting to settle.A constant flurry of decisions had to be made. Dex, now sat in the library answered dozens of questions. Dispensing supplies, where everything needed to go and handling every kind of diplomatic crisis. We received an update on Rhett, he had been successfully taken by the Fyrestone and was under care.Glenn would still be heading back to Foxton to inform Luna Madeline but a scout had returned from his group to confirm Eduardo was being held captive. His pack were apparently only too happy to place him under arrest. It was peculiar how no local rebellion occurred. Fyrestone’s warriors were allowed across the territory without difficulty.

Hours of chanting, each of us holding Roxie’s charred hand or foot as Olaf mixed herbs and guided our voiced was exhausting. My head dropped, fighting waves of tiredness after days of running from Foxton. Olaf and Felix had battled too, their red wounds matching Roxie’s battered form. It was peculiar to feel the ebb and flow of her body. I would feel warmth and a pulse only for it to simmer away. Her breathing was barely there, her chest flickering instead of rising. Her wolf was pushing itself to the limits and there was no way of knowing what would happen.On the sofas, rapidly staining with blood as her wounds seeped, we surrounded her with our love. As dawn broke over a new day Mina looked around and clanged the cymbals.Olaf began to shake his head in failure, the herbs, hair and peculiar rocks he had procured moved to one side. He was accepting defeat. I couldn't. I gave my last bit of energy, chanting louder, closer to her ear praying with everything I had that she would choos

After swimming in the blackness, for what could have been years or seconds I was calm. Unable to form a thought, feel any pain I simply existed in a pool of darkness. That almost-tumbling feeling of falling asleep, when you’re just on the brink of accepting tiredness, was the only sensation. Then the pungent, unmistakable scent of burning hair entered the darkness.The first emotion and clear thought that dripped into my awareness was the fear that the smell was sulphur. That Berlarot even in death remained tied to me.As my senses slowly strengthened, like a slow turning up of volume I found my inner voice. Another thought occurred when I realised it was not Berlarot, was the assumption that the burning smell was my own hair. Perhaps the tower was burning, maybe Kate had done something marvellous and saved everyone.Kate. My sister.I’d left her. I’d jumped and left her to the mercy of Austin. A coward till the end. Death is the correct path for me.Thoughts swam around in the black

What the hell has happened here. We’ve saved the fucking day and I’m getting shit for it.As she vanished around the corner the blonde girl with blue eyes approached. “I’m Mina, I did not want to get Kate’s hopes up but I think…Roxie needs a healer. She might not be completely gone yet.”I groaned, rubbing my face. We’re just a collection of fighters, “Azus, do you?” knowing the answer would be a no before he walked off to check on his injured men. Then, as quiet as a tiger through the trees Olaf came into view. He was completely naked, his grey hair shorn, eyes shimmering gold and yellow.He walked down the grassy path, all of us staring at his intimidating presence. Was he some kind of fucking sun god? Blessed with serious muscles and abs behind all that weird grey hair it felt as though we were all meeting him for the first time.Ignoring everyone’s stares he fixed his eyes on the tall, blonde Mina. We all saw her breath catch, her eyes widen as she fell under some kind of spell. F
