2024-10-29 19:42:56Claiming that I was not caught off guard by his statement would have been an outright lie. And although I was good at lying, I had never really taken an interest in lying to myself. I knew that it would not get me anywhere, that it would be more detrimental to my sanity than anything else. I didn't know whether or not I had managed to keep my composure, or whether there had been something on my expression that had given it away, but I hoped that Elijah did not realise how I felt in this moment,
My eyes were still closed, and majority of my face was submerged in the water, coming up to just beneath my nose. Luckily, it hadn't been necessary for me to speak just yet, but I knew that I could not stay silent and ignore him for the rest of the time that he was here. I had been able to pick up on the fact that he was as determined as can be, that he was going to talk to me about all of this, whether I was willing to, or not. And as much as I could tell myself that I didn't wa

The next few minutes passed by in a blur, happening so fast that I didn't really know what hit me until it had already hit me. It seemed to me like this was the point in the conversation that Elijah had been waiting for, the one that he had been aiming to reach. I wouldn't have guessed it to be the case, but once he knew that I was fully aware of what he had meant with that statement, he got up and walked out of the bathroom, like he hadn't even been there in the first place. I didn't know why he chose then to leave, but I wasn't going to get up and go after him in order to question him, either. As much as I was interested in knowing what was going through his mind, I knew that I was in no position to do so. There were aches and pains everywhere in my body, and all that there was for me to do, was to lay here and recover from it. The water had turned a murky brown colour, something that I was only able to see thanks to the opening around my face. I was no genius, but if I had to tak

Despite the fact that I had more than enough to distract myself with when I got to the infirmary, I simply couldn't manage to get my mind off of what Gwen had said. I knew that the fact that she had stayed with me all of the way did make a big difference, but surely it did not make that much of a difference. When she had initially mentioned it, I hadn't even considered the possibility that I would be this bothered by it, but now, things were being proven otherwise. We had already left the infirmary, and I was follwing behind Gwen. The verdict had been what I had been expecting - there was nothing major wrong with me, and all that the doctor prescribed me, was rest. He said that my body was likely preparing to shift, and if I felt any intense emotional urges, it was likely to blame on my hormones. He also blamed my physical state on that, because apparently, looking for trouble was something that females tended to do when they were going to shift. It was the strangest thing to hear s

When I stepped into the gymnasium, I knew, without a doubt that Gwen had managed to get it right to get Samantha to spar with her. It was something that she had suggested to me through the mind link, and since I had been fully convinced that Samantha would not indulge something like this, I had agreed to it. But now, I found myself questioning whether or not I had made the right call of judgement in regards to Samantha. After all, why would she be sparring with Gwen when she had just come from the infirmary? It was like she was asking for trouble. And Gwen wasn't exactly the nicest person when it came to sparring either. The two of them were bound to be going neck and neck, exhausting one another. And judging by the crowd that had formed around the floor of the gymnasium, I knew that my assumptions were definitely on track with what was actually happening. I did not know what I was going to do about it just yet, but I did know that I could not break it up. That would be more of an em

I started pressing my staff harder onto her collar bone, making sure that she felt the weight of my threat. For her sake, I hoped that she was going to submit to me, because I would not hesitate in doing the damage that was necessary. But there was something in her eyes that was daring me to do it. It was like she didn't believe that I was actually capable of all of this, and honestly speaking, it was somewhat triggering for me. I didn't like it. It made me all the more determined to hurt her. "I think that we can all agree that there is a clear victor here. There will be no need for anyone to submit to anyone." I clenched my jaw, willing myself not to turn around to see who had just spoken - because I knew who had spoken. It was Elijah. He had come here, and now he was exercising his right as Alpha to call shots on matters that he had no business in. I could not deny the fact that I was quite bothered by it, but I knew that there was nothing that I could do other than to step away

As it turned out, Elijah had wanted to go home - or perhaps he had been under the impression that I wanted to go home. I didn’t bother questioning him about it, because I did not feel like there was a point to it. If he believed that it was what had been needed, then so be it. I was in no position to question his decisions. If there had been any actual reason why he had wanted us to come here, I wasn’t able to pick up on it either. It was like he had just come here for the sake of it, to remove me from the gymnasium. He didn’t even bother speaking to me, or anything. He retired to his bedroom and that had been the last that I had seen of him. And it had been quite a while since we had gotten back here. I had done what I could in terms of staying busy, but all too soon, my list of options had run out. It was something that I blamed on the omegas, for they had taken the liberty of unpacking all of my belongings and putting them in my room. It was something that I would have considered

I had to admit that I didn't want to leave Samantha alone, but when duty calls, it does not give you much of a choice. I knew that I hadn't really been spending any time with her while I had been home - on the contrary, I had literally gone to sleep - but it was a principle. I had been there with her, and I had known that she was safe and it was enough for me. Well, up until now, it had been enough for me. Now, I wished that I had been able to bring her with me, that I wouldn't have had to leave her alone, but unfortunately, it was too late for that. It was something that wouldn't have been possible in the first place, especially since she was a part of the initiation ceremony. No one was supposed to know who she was or who her family was, and yet, we had already crossed some boundaries by taking her to the infirmary, and then to the gymnasium as well. She had already made a name for herself - and that was the main problem. Usually, when it came to initiations, it was teh first imp

“I’m surprised that you’re still here.” I wished that I could tell her that I was surprised to see her here, but I knew that doing so would not yield any rewards for me. Admittedly, I had been expecting her to be here much sooner, but Elijah had clarified to me that he would only be sending Gwen here once she had completed her duties for the initiation. I took this as a sign that she had finished all of those things. Of course, there was a chance that I was wrong, but I didn’t really think that it would create much of a problem. “And why is that?” “You don’t seem like the kind of person who stays cooped up in a house the whole day.” I lifted my shoulders in a shrug, once again feeling like I was at a loss for words. I hadn’t been aware of the fact that I was so easy to sum up, but I hoped, for my sake, that Gwen had a good opinion of me. I didn’t know why, but there was a part of me that felt like I was going to be seeing a lot of her, and it was just better for all parties involv

I didn’t know what to expect when I told Samantha that this wasn’t going to be any ordinary event. She needed to dress appropriately, and not just arrive there in a tank top and shorts - because if I hadn’t told her, that was exactly what she would have worn. It was something that had shocked me beyond measure, but I decided not to question it. One thing that I was starting to learn about Samantha, was that she tended to think about herself first. And although there were other people who might view that as a major character flaw, I did not. I considered it to be a major advantage, because instead of considering what would be in it for you, she considered what was in it for her. It was quite a selfish way to go ahead with life, but it was also something that made me it easier to get her to do things. But the one thing that I was actively struggling to get her to do, was to wear a dress. I had easily managed to pick one out from her cabinet, but she didn’t want to know anything about

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!

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

“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 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
