Once I heard his voice, the sound carrying as clearly through the air as if he had been standing right beside me, I could not keep myself from stepping to the side, from looking past my father, who had turned around to face him. It seemed like the statement had been just as shocking to him as it had been to Gwen and I, because neither one of us had been expecting Elijah be back here as soon as he was. It was safe to say that I was in shock. I did not know what was happening, but even though Elijah was quite some distance away from me, from all of us, I could not help but pick up on the magnetic pull that I had towards him. I didn’t know why I hadn’t been able to pick up on it before, but then again, for all I knew it had something to do with the fact that my father had been here, that his dominating personality had forced me to do nothing more than sit here and listen to what he had to say. As Elijah continued to close the distance between himself and us, his scent started to drift
Hello! I'd like to thank all of you for reading this story as far as you have, and I hope that you have enjoyed it thus far. Please note that we have now concluded with Book 1! Can you believe it? It feels like it happened in the blink of an eye. I would like to encourage all of you to read Book 2, which will pick up exactly where we left off. It will be free for an extended period of time (I thought that might be better than keeping this book going). The title is: The Alpha's Heir Let's hope that that doesn't give too much away!
"I have to admit that I was not expecting you to arrive today. After all, it was not the date on which we had settled. I have not yet prepared anything in terms of the initiation ceremony."Under ordinary circumstances, I would have been biting off the head of the person who had dared to do this. But I couldn't do that this time around, because there were not the ordinary circumstances in which we found ourselves. The man in question, was no one other than my Beta - or rather, my soon to be Beta, considering the fact that mine was a female who had gone to the pack that belonged to her mate. It was nothing for her to be ashamed of - but this was definitely something for him to be ashamed of. His arrival had been untimely, and had created a lot of trouble amongst my border patrol. I was in the right frame of mind to send him pack to where he had come from, but I knew that that would only come back to bite me in the ass at a later stage. There was no need to create any unnecessary discom
I found myself turning around, both convinced and irritated by the fact that I hadn't gotten rid of him as I had thought that I had. He seemed to think that he was entitled to bother me. Was that what all attractive men did? They believed that they had a right to engage you until you gave in to them? I was no fool. I had been around the block once or twice, and I knew that there weren't many reasons why a girl was stopped and approached in a club like this one. The couples who were already fucking around us, was already proof enough of that.There had been two people outside, the girl pressed up against the wall, and I had seen another at the bar, with the girl spread out on the table with the mans face between her legs. A chill went through my body as I thought of it, feeling my own arousal start to surface. I had considered myself to be quite strong-willed, but when it came to sex, I was just as weak as the rest of my kind was. It was normal for us. It was a need. "Guys like me? Wh
"Where have you been? I almost sent Arthur out to look for you."When I opened the door to the house that we were staying in, I was instantly made aware of the fact that my father had been waiting for me to get back here. It was something that I hadn't really prepared for, but I assumed that it meant that my mother had been found, and that I was now the only one who had given them reason to worry. I took a deep breath as I stepped through the threshold, telling myself that none of this would be as bad as I was mentally preparing for.One thing that I could vouch for, was the fact that my father was a worrier. I said this, because he never had a moments worth of rest when it came to our family, and even when he could, he didn't take it. It was like he was always waiting for something to go wrong, for something bad to happen. My mother was an alcoholic, and having to look for her every night could be exhausting. And when you were in a new place, and you did n
As I stepped onto the porch, the light shining through the living room window reminded me of the fact that for the next few days, I was not going to be able to enjoy the comfort of my home, for it was not going to be mine alone. I was going to have to tolerate the fact that there would be other people living with me, who would have no problem sitting and watching television until god knows what time. I could do no more than to continue standing outside and processing what was going on. If I had a choice in the matter, I would have wanted nothing more than to be able to go and sleep somewhere else.But I did not have that choice.As much as I wished that I did, I knew what the reality of this situation was. It was something that I had needed to deal with for quite some time in the past, but I had never had an entire family living in my house. After all, there was a reason why it only had two bedrooms. One was mine, and the other was for a single guest. Not an enti
I could tell by the expression on the Alpha's face that he was uncomofortable. I could see it in his body language, pick up on it in the way that he was looking at me, and I knew that he was not going to stick around here for much longer. And could I blame him? I could not. If I had the choice to leave, then I also would not hesitate to do it. But I did not have the choice, and that was why I remained seated where I was. If I had any intention of getting out of this situation without embarressing myself, then I would need to stay here. "I would like to take a moment to apologise for her behaviour. I am sure that she did not mean to offend you. She did not know who you were." I watched as the Alpha clenched his jaw, the action visible to me. He was still looking at me as if he was trying to look right through me and I found myself questioning whether or not I was going to find myself in a heap of trouble. I knew that I couldn't allow my father to find out that
Of course, I should have known that my bravery would be a fleeting thing.By the time that I managed to get to the Alphas' bedroom door, I had already chickened out of doing what I was supposed to be doing. Just because I was still standing here, and I wasn't going back downstairs, did not mean that there was still some kind of magical chance that I would open the door and go inside.Maybe I would.At least, that was what I was telling myself. Maybe I was braver than I thought I was, and I just needed a moment more before I would be able to do what I needed to do.I took a final, deep breath, telling myself that it was going to be now or never. I couldn't just stand here and talk to myself, and try to convince myself that this wasn't necessary. Because it was. I doubted that I would have come all the way up the stairs, risking being caught by my father, just for something that wasn't necessary.And for a moment, it was as if

“Where is Alpha Elijah? Is he deliberately avoiding me, or do you have something to do with it?” My heart felt like it was sinking into the pit of my stomach, my father’s presence on the front porch being more than an overwhelming factor. And what made the situation so much worse, was the fact that he knew that he had the upper hand here, knew that there was a certain effect that he had on me that would always be superior. And all that I could do in that moment, was to freeze and stare at him in disbelief.Thankfully for my sake, it seemed like it would not be necessary for me to do much else other than to be present, because Gwen appeared beside me, seeming to be more prepared for what was going on than I was. I could not help but be thankful for the fact that she was intervening in the situation, because there was no way in hell that I would have been able to handle the situation. “Beta Luke. I must say that I’m rather surprised to see you here. Did Alpha Elijah request to see you
I got out of the bathtub and wrapped a towel around my body, feeling the ache that was starting to set into my bones due to the run that I had just been on. Gwen had put me as a patrol check, which meant that I had to make sure that all of the deltas that she had assigned to the border patrol squads, were there. And thankfully, up until now, there had been no one who hadn’t been where they had needed to be and I had to admit that it was something that made me feel quite relieved. I knew that it would only be a matter of time before Gwen arrived here in order to find out if everyone was where they were supposed to be, and in all honesty, I hoped that it would take her much longer than I thought it would. I wanted to be able to get to my room, and at least get into a clean set of clothes. After all, if I was dressed and comfortable, I would be able to lie to anyone who came here looking for Elijah. Lying to the pack was something that was becoming harder and harder, but between Gwen, M
There was a knock on the door to the room that I was in, and even though I had been half asleep, it was enough to wake me. And, it seemed like my visitor did not need permission to come inside, for the door just opened, before I had the chance to make myself presentable. Even though I must have been sleeping for quite some time – why else would it be dark outside? – I didn’t feel like I had been resting at all. It just proved how exhausted I actually was, but I had just been ignoring it instead of addressing it.My guest turned out to be no one other than the Alpha’s son. And he looked a lot more presentable now, than he had been before. I had to admit that it was something that I was thankful for, although I could not tell him that. I doubted that he would be very happy or impressed with me if I were to make a comment about his earlier lack of attire. I knew how to pick my fights, and picking ANY fight while I was here, would be like signing my death
All too soon, I found myself following the boy - who seemed to be quite comfortable with his nakedness - through their packlands - and it was safe to say that I was starting to understand why it had been possible for them to have so many wolves on patrol. Their pack was larger than anything I had seen before - twice the size of mine, with even less space. It was something that made me feel rather uncomfortable, like I was walking through a suburb instead of a town. They seemed to be unphased by it, but how could they be bothered by something that they lived with on a daily basis? I was keeping quiet as I walked behind him, for I was painfully aware of the fact that he was not the person whom I needed to be speaking to at this time. There were two other wolves walking on either side of me, both of them seeming to be more than prepared in terms of defense. It was almost like they were waiting for me to do something, like they wanted a reason to injure me. I, on the other hand, did not
I had been running for what felt like an eternity, but I knew that it would only be a matter of time before I reached the Northern Pack. It had not been an ideal route that I had taken, but I knew it to be the fastest one, and luckily for my sake, I had not come across any problems along the way - and by problems, I meant rogues. It was a small mercy that I was incredibly thankful for. But I knew that it must have been because the Moon Goddess had mercy on me, because she knew that I was going to have quite a hard time when I entered that pack. I would be under attack as if I was a rogue, and the only way for me to prevent that, would be to speak to them and tell them who I was.But even so, Samantha had warned me that even though her father had left the pack, he still had more than enough members in the pack who acted as spies for him. I did not want information about my research to get back to him before I managed to get back to the pack. I wanted to be there to confr
I could tell that my statement had caught him off guard, because his eyes widened slightly as he looked at me. I had to admit that it was a rather satisfying sight to see, and I could only hope that I would somehow be able to keep my composure while I spoke to him. If he started to challenge me, I was sure that I would struggle, but until then, I was going to be brave about it. I sent a silent prayer to the moon goddess, asking her to make sure that I had the strength that I would need to stand up to him for as long as I possibly needed to. ‘What did you just say?’ The shock in his voice was as vivid as it was on his face, and I knew that he was not going to like what I was going to say to him. But that was the point of it, was it not? I was disobeying him, and it wouldn’t be for the first time. The only thing that made this different, is that it was actually upsetting him this time around. And I wanted to know why. ‘I said that I’m not going to listen to you. I’m not going to stop
I found myself standing outside Elijah's house, watching it from a distance and finding myself to be rather indecisive. I did not know whether or not I was supposed to go inside, or whether I was supposed to go back to Gwen's house. I knew that it would not really matter where it was that I went, because no one would be able to tell that that was where I was, but it was merely one of those things that I had no control over at the moment. The only way for that to change, was to wait it out. And whether I waited it out here, or in Gwen's house, I doubted that it would matter. As long as I was somewhere where I could be found, I doubted that it would be much of a problem. I wanted nothing more than to be able to shift back, and take a bath - I could feel the dirt between my toes and the sand in my fur, but I also knew that the chances of me being able to do that, were somewhat slim to none. I would need to wait until someone could explain to me how I was supposed to shift back. And unt
