Tate’s POVI can’t believe she thought I hated that she was Hybrid, can’t believe I almost fucked everything up. Drake had decided to take her to meet his father although, I could tell she was a little nervous, but she hid it well. We turned down her offer to mark us, it didn’t feel right. Like she was doing it out of guilt. Drake and I actually agreed on something, he felt the same and didn't want the pressures of his father on her shoulders, that wasn’t for her to bear, he would just need to step up.Elias brought us over for breakfast this morning and I asked his sister if she would do some grocery shopping so when she got back, the house was stocked, though I had no idea what she liked. I never pictured her to be one to cook but should have known because she is pretty independent considering she was raised so sheltered by her pack.They were leaving soon and I wanted to go with them, though me being there would make things harder on Drake and her. Besides, knowing his father, a
Lana’s POVI woke to someone climbing in the bed, the bed dipping behind me, the light just breaking through the window indicating it was rather early in the morning. I knew instantly it was Drake, that he came back. His scent hitting my nose as he pulls me flush against him, his face pressed to the side of my neck. I can’t help the shiver that rushes over my body from the sparks bursting on my skin.“I know you’re awake, I heard your heart rate pick up” He whispers before kissing the side of my neck, his arms tightening around me.“Where is Tate?” I ask and he sighs“Downstairs, passed out” He mutters. Nestling in closer to me before his hand moves underneath my shirt making me gasp as his fingertips trail gently over my abdomen.“Do you still want me to go to the packhouse and meet your father”“Only if you want to go” He answers, and rolls over to face him, his hand moving to my hip while the othe
Lana’s POVDrake borrowed Tate’s car, the drive to Black Creek Pack wasn’t long, only about twenty minutes by car before we hit the border. Once we stepped over the border though Drake became unbelievably tense, his knuckles turning white as he clutched the steering wheel. This Pack and town are vastly different. Everything is sleek and modern, almost industrial-like, and very black and white. No color on any of the houses and even the town itself was very plain to look at compared to Tate’s pack which to me looked more friendly and homely with the woods surrounding it and its cottage-style houses. This place looked controlled, heavily controlled, nothing out of place, too clean and organized. Barely anyone was on the streets and the place reminded me of a ghost town.We pulled up to a mansion in the center of town. The place was all white, except the entry which had heavy black double doors and black
Lana POVToday was our sixteenth birthday and of all the days my brother Alpha Ryker had to call an Alpha meeting on his twin sister’s birthday. To say we were pissed off was an understatement. Arial and I watched from the upstairs window as Alpha’s from all over filed out of their cars before being greeted by our father and Ryker. My twin sister Arial hated the meetings just as much as me. It was one thing being twins, it was another being Lycan hybrid twins, and we always found that we copped the most stares. Once we came of age and didn’t get our wolves or shift, we knew we differed from our brother. Our mother was a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess, therefore, so are we.Our brother inherited most of our father’s traits, he shifted when he was twelve and was what we call an early bloomer, but he didn’t share my mother’s Hybrid gene. Yes, he was a direct descendant like us, but for some reason he only received certain traits while my sister and I were exactly like our moth
“Do you think he is your mate?” Arial asks as soon as the door is shut. My younger brothers raced down the stairs toward us excitedly.“Lana, Arial, did you hear the notorious Alpha Tate and Alpha Drake are coming today?” My brother Ace asked, he was obsessed with Alpha’s. I didn’t understand his obsession considering he would one day be one.“Yes Ace, we know. Tate is outside with mum and Dad. Now go with Tyson and play with your cousins. They are in the games room” Arial says, giving them a stern look. They both take off. They were both identical twins and little mischief makers, always up to no good.Storming off upstairs, I head to my room. Sitting on my bed annoyed.“So, do you?” Asks Arial and I roll my eyes.“No, I feel nothing towards him” I tell her, and she nods thinking.“On the plus side he is gorgeous” Arial says, nudging me with her elbow and I roll my eyes. I chuckle, shaking my head. Of course that is all she cares about. I loved my sister, but she could be a little v
Lana POVWalking out I went in search of my cousins and little brothers. I couldn’t sit in that room any longer while they compared dick sizes. What a day, not only do I have one person claiming I am their mate I have two. Like how is that even going to work, and how is it even possible? Arial comes out after a few minutes searching for me.Sitting on the lounge, I watch my cousins play Mario kart in the games room, hoping my mother can sort out this drama for me, so they can be on their testosterone-filled way. Of course, I had to be mates with two people that despise each other.Arial sits down beside me before pulling me against her side. I rest my head on her shoulder. She was my comfort place, always has been, our bond was like no other. Tyson and Ace were the same, always joined at the hip no matter what.“How do you feel?” Arial asks, concerned when I say nothing.“Like this is a bad dream, I don’t want mates. I don’t want to leave you” I tell her. She nods her head and my au
The next morning, I woke up early wanting to leave for school before I had to face them. Quickly getting ready, I raced down the stairs catching my father just as he was getting ready to leave with Ryker. Barrelling through the front door and waving them down as they started to pull out of the driveway.Ryker stops the car and I swing the back door open and hop in. “Is there a reason you are coming to work with us?” My father asks, turning in his seat and looking back at me.“I’m not, I need a lift to school”“School doesn’t start for three more hours Lana”“I know, I just wanted to get there early today” I lied.“More like you're trying to avoid your mates” Ryker says but reverses out anyway before driving down the long driveway.“You know you can’t avoid them forever?” My father asks.“I’m hoping they will get that I don’t want mates and leave”Ryker snorts, shaking his head at my logic.“Pretty sure it doesn’t work like that Sis” Ryker teases as we drive into town. When we drive p
The rest of the trip home was silent, as soon as the car pulled up, I bolted for the house, running straight to my room. My mother's voice reached me as I ran up the stairs.“Lana is that you?”“Yes, going to my room” I scream back not even slowing. I heard them come in and heard the front door shutting but I quickly rushed to my room, closing the door and locking it. A few seconds later, I heard a knock on the door.“You know you can’t avoid us forever” I hear Drake's husky voice call out to me. I can fucking try, I thought. I hear his footsteps leave and sigh only to hear the bathroom door open. My head snapped in its direction and walks Tate and Drake.Shit, Arial must have forgotten to lock the bathroom door. Of all the rooms ours had to have a two-way bathroom.“Get out” I snapped at them; they both ignored me. Instead moving into the room and sitting on Ariel's bed.I glare at them; can’t they see I want nothing to do with them? I am not leaving my sister, especially for a man,

Lana’s POVI just got out of the shower and was halfway through getting changed when the bedroom door opened. Drake walked in, a strange look on his face before noticing me.“Shit sorry,” He says shutting the door. I quickly got dressed, confused as to why he was back already. My clothes are sticking to me from not being able to dry myself properly, nothing worse than squeezing into tights while wet.“You can come in, I am decent” I call out to him and he opens the door sticking his head in before opening it wider.“Sorry, I didn’t realize you were about to get dressed, Tate said you haven’t come out of the room. Are you hiding in here?”I shake my head and point to my suitcase. “No, just unpacking,” I tell him standing there awkwardly. Why does this have to be so weird? I ask myself. Drake sits on the end of the bed before lying down.“I thought you had to speak to your father?”His eyes snap to mine a worried look on his face. He runs his hand down his face before sitting up and br
Drake POVElias dropped me off at the border, I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to remain with my mates, help her settle in but I had no other choice other than to go confront my father. He was in the middle of a meeting when I walked in with his Beta, both of them standing around his oval desk looking at some maps. My brothers lounging on the couch looking incredibly bored which I understood my father tended to drone on and on over the little things. Walking in, my youngest brother Chase looks up, a smile slipping onto his face at seeing me before moving over on the two-seater he was sitting on.“What are they talking about?” I ask, sitting down.“You would know if you were here” My father spits at me, I fight the urge to growl at him, knowing it's pointless to argue back with him.Last time I tried he had three pack warriors force me out the packhouse and to the cells. They hated it, they didn’t understand why I put up with his shit.My father ordered them to whip me. All were relu
Lana’s POVWe drove for what felt like hours and I couldn’t wait to get out of the car and away from Drake. He had two years to prepare, so to find out I was some secret he had kept ticked me off. When he took a turn off heading along a dirt road amongst the trees, I knew we must be getting close. Drake suddenly tensed in his seat, straightening up and he looked nervous. We followed the dirt road which is surrounded by a dense forest. It was quiet out here. The only sounds were nature. Everything was lush and green and completely secluded the further we drove. We came to what looked like a watch post. I could see a few men standing next to the wooden building. They look up as the car drives closer. Drake pulls the car to a stop beside them, and two men walk over looking in the windows. Drake winds his window down, but I don’t pay attention to what they are saying instead my eyes focus
Drake POVI was finally taking her home, well as close to home as I could. I still hadn’t told my father I found her. Titus was worried he wouldn’t approve and despite being now 27 he still hadn’t handed over the Pack which was starting to irk me and our pack members. My father was getting old and they were starting to worry he wouldn’t hand the reins over. They were also starting to question why.Lana sat in the back completely ignoring us trying to engage in conversation with her. I know she was upset about leaving her family, but we gave her time, time to get used to the idea. Time to grow up yet she still denied the mate bond. Hopefully, Tate could convince her.Our relationship had become more strained as the years passed, we struggled being in the same room with each other. The only time we could talk without arguing was when it came to Lana. She sat completely unaware of the effect her scent was
Lana POVOver Two years laterI hadn’t seen them in two and half years, I managed to stretch out more time, telling them I wasn’t ready. But today was the day. Drake refused to wait any longer, saying I was weakening his wolf, weakening his pack. Tate was willing to wait till I came on my own and managed to convince Drake to wait. I had plans that didn’t involve being mated to two Alpha’s. I wanted to go to university, wanted to travel but not even my mother could delay them anymore. She believed I had made them wait long enough, and tried to convince me this was a good thing, that once I had been marked I would understand fully what it was like to be fated to someone and to feel the effects of the mate bond in full force. That scared me, I didn’t like having my future chosen for me. It seemed old and barbaric, an arranged marriage in a way.I just finished packing and flopped on the bed beside my sister. S
Drake POVLana was everything and more than I had hoped for in a mate, yet I had to leave her behind. I could understand her mother’s concern and understood that Lana didn’t feel we were her mates. I honestly thought I was always doomed with the mate I had until I laid eyes on her. Perfect that was the only way I could describe her, yet I had to leave her behind. My wolf whined as I hopped in my car.Putting the key in the ignition, I tried to turn it over but all it did was wind. “Fuck” I curse. I knew I should have fixed the darn thing before I came here. Just my luck. I try again when Tate taps on the window. I open the car door and he peers down at me. “Send for a tow truck, I will drop you back,” He tells me, and I run my fingers through my hair before sighing. Not like I had much choice.Great, now I had to spend hours in the car with him. Not how I wanted to spend the rest of an already horrid day.
