At my request, the driver stopped at the corner of my street to avoid any drama with my aunt, or, at least, that was the plan. As soon as I stepped inside, my aunt turned and glared at me from the couch. “Where have you been?”With a shrug, I replied, “around.”She shut off the t.v. and stood. “Around? What kind of answer is that?”“An honest one.” Technically, I wasn’t lying. I had been around places: School, in a car, on the other side of town, in a vampire den. So I had actually been around.“Young lady, I demand you tell me where you’ve been and what you think you’re doing coming home this late.”This late? It wasn’t even eleven yet. Alisha and Declan both stayed out until around midnight. Unable to help myself, I said, “What do you care?”“Of course I do,” she said, and I caught the hints of a lie. “You are under my guardianship, after all.”“That didn’t matter to you a couple of days ago when I called you and you hung up on me.”My aunt scoffed, crossing her arms. “I did not.”“

The humidity hit me in the face like a boxer’s right hook as soon as I left school. It was yet another gray day threatening rain. Hell, with the amount of humidity already in the air, it might as well have been raining, anyway. I walked a few feet from the door and nervously waited for Shaun.I didn’t want to break my promise to him and I knew it was going to make him upset, but I needed to learn more about what I could do and the only one who around here who seemed capable of teaching me was Alec. Though the question was how to explain that to Shaun. I wasn’t sure I was ready to tell him about of this yet. It was bad enough that the pack looked down on me because of whatever my father had done in the war and, of course, I was an omega. I didn’t want to give people more reasons to hate me.Five minutes passed, and I had seen no signs of Shaun. With a sigh, I started the walk home by myself. I turned and crossed the parking lot when he came jogging up next to me. “Hey, you weren’t thin

I dropped onto my bed and let my head fall back. Shaun’s ‘I guess so’ kept replaying over and over in my mind. It hurt to hear him say that, because I knew how my cousin thought and she’d think that was him saying okay to a semi-date.My more rational side tried to assure me that Shaun didn’t mean it like that. I wasn’t in the mood to listen to my rational side at the moment. However, I wasn’t in the mood to go over and over everything Shaun said, either. Needing a distraction, I pulled out my English book to get started on homework. I’d just finished the first half of the assignment when there was a knock on the window. When I looked up, Shaun waved at me. What was he doing there? I set aside my text book and opened the window. “What are you doing here?”“Wanted to check up on you,” he said, crawling through the window into my room. “You seemed upset when you left.”“Because I was,” I admitted and sat back down on my bed. “Alisha was flirting with you and you did nothing.”“Of course

My plans for Saturday were to spend most of the day with Shaun, tell him about my abilities and what Alec was teaching me, but he texted me in the morning that between his dad and practice, he was going to be busy all day. So instead, I spent the day studying until it was time to meet up with Alec. It was a dark late afternoon, thanks to the thick clouds and the rain it dropped over the town. I huddled under my umbrella as I walked down the street toward the woods. Dreading the muddy mess I was going to be when I reached our meeting spot, I didn’t notice the car until Alec’s voice cut through the noise of the rain. Never in my life had I ever been so happy to see a car before in my life. I got in, then cringed as water dripped onto the seats. “Sorry.”“Didn’t I tell you to stop apologizing?” Alec said with a small shake of his head.“But your car—”“Is just a car,” he said and nodded to the driver. “I heard about your altercation with some vampires during your visit to my home.

I leaned against the wall where my headboard would go if I had one, half watching a series on my laptop and half bored. At least the rain stopped, I thought as I glanced out my window. Just as another episode started, my phone lit up with a text. Weird. No one texts me. When I grabbed it, a smile broke out across my face. Shaun. How did he even get my number? Though, if I was honest, I didn’t care. He was asking me to meet up with him for lunch. I texted him back asking where to meet him and then tried to decide what to wear. I wanted to look good, yet did not seem like I was trying to look good. Once I was getting near the twenty-minute mark, I decided to dress in a muted rose t-shirt with jeans and black converse. I also brought my black hoodie in case the temperature dropped with all this humidity. Once I was ready, I read his reply, then re-read it. He wanted me to bring the pieces of the book with me. Why should I bring the book with me? Guess I’d have to wait and find out. Wit

As soon as I walked into the school, I could feel it. Stress and tension. It filled the halls and made it hard for me to breathe. If I didn’t know the full moon was tomorrow, I would’ve known just from that alone. With the full moon so close, our wolves were at unease and eager to be let loose and feel the moonlight on their skin. The fact there wasn’t yet any moon light to feel didn’t seem to matter to them. So naturally, everyone was cranky and on edge. With a slow breath, I started walking to my locker. As I waded into the crowd, the emotions washed over me. They grated on my skin like a cheese grater and pushed down on me like a ton of weights. After a moment, I slumped forward, wincing at every aggravated comment as it sent a wave of tearing emotions into me. Okay. So this wasn’t so cool. How was I going to get through the day like this? I forced myself to take a deep breath and stand up when I reached my locker. There had to be a way I could put up some walls or something. I

“A vampire,” my aunt exclaimed, then looked at me and I caught a sense of betrayal. “You’re consorting with them… I… I got to tell the alpha!”“I… I got to tell the alpha,” Aunt Lauren said, her eyes wide. She turned to rush into the house, but only took a step before stopping. In a blink of an eye, Alec was in front of her. She gasped, jerking back, but when she met his eyes, my aunt relaxed and didn’t move. Aunt Lauren only just stared back at him.“What did—” I started, but he held up his hand.“You didn’t see a vampire here tonight,” Alec told my aunt. “Robin came home like she does every day. Now, go inside and spend your evening as you do.” Aunt Lauren nodded and walked into the house. I watched her until the front door closed. My stomach twisted into knots. “What did you do?”“I persuaded her to forget,” he said, walking over to stand next to me. “Neither of us wants the alpha knowing about our meetings.”“I see, and that’s it. You did nothing else?”Alec gave me a flat, almost

“Don’t do something you’ll regret,” Alec told Shaun as he took a step towards him.“You don’t scare me, vampire,” Shaun said in a growl and took another step. Violence sparked off both of them. This was going to end badly. I jumped in between them, holding my hands out to my sides to keep them from getting closer to each other. “Hey, hey, hey,” I said, pressing my hand into each of their chests. “We’re not doing this. Not tonight. I can’t deal with this tonight. Okay?” They both glared at each other, but each took a step back. “Alec, can I take a rain check on that coffee?” I asked once the level of violence radiating off them decreased. Alec looked away from Shaun to me. “Of course, but you have my number if you need it. Don’t forget who you are,” he said before disappearing or, at least, it looked like he disappeared. Shaun growled again. “Why do you have his number?” His anger made me wince as it grated across my skin. “Can you stop?” I asked him and realized my tone was angry

I could tell Shaun had all kinds of questions, but he didn’t ask a single one of them. Instead, he held on to my hand as he drove through the town. He parked the car in a small park on top of a large hill. From nearly every angle of the park, we got a spectacular view of the town. “So what’s this abut the pack bonds,” Shaun asked as we took a seat at a picnic table. “I can see them now.” Taking in the view, I took a moment before answering. “I didn’t before, but last night after I shifted, I could see them.” For a moment, I thought about telling him about the poor state that they were in, but I waited and gauge his reaction. His brow furrowed, and he mussed his hair as he thought. “I’ve never heard of anything like that. Are you sure the vampire didn’t do something to you?”I leveled him with a ‘really?’ glare. “What could he have done? Vampires have no power over our abilities. Despite they can use their vampiric persuasion on us, they can’t force us to shift or not to shift. It’s

Why would the alpha hate me so much if he didn’t even know who I was? I didn’t have a clue, and I didn’t think I’d get one tonight. The alpha was too busy demanding Shaun go with him to join the full moon run. I expected the alpha wouldn’t know who I was or perhaps give me a second thought if he did. I was the bottom rung of the pack hierarchy, but his emotions were intense; like he had a reason to hate me. “Understood, Dad,” Shaun said, then turned to me. “Hope you have a good run tonight and stay close to pack.”His dad looked confused, but I got what he meant. Stay away from vampires. “Right, of course,” I told him with a nod.“Let’s go,” his dad demanded and got back into the carShaun mouthed one last ‘bye’ before joining his father. I watched the car drive off, the question of why still bouncing around in my head. “You need to be careful around him,” Alec said, making me jump.I turned to find him standing right next to me. “What are you doing here? The alpha was just here. He
