I opened the front door with ease, and I let out a sigh upon the discovery that it was open. I didn't know what I would have done if Samantha had locked it. I assumed that she would have gone to sleep already. I didn't even want to know what the time was. I could tell that the sun was threatening to rise on the horison, which led me to believe that I was well into Sunday. It felt like I was about to fall asleep at any moment now, like I could no longer keep myself awake. I didn't even think that I would manage to make it all the way to my bedroom. At this point, with the way that I was feeling right now, I was convinced that I would need to be moved with a crane when I went to sleep. And I thought that I would go and sleep on the couch. After all, it was right here and it was out of the way - the only problem with that idea, was the fact that Samantha was already sound asleep on it. The television wasn't on, which made me wonder whether or not it had been her decision to sleep here.

Waking up the next morning proved to be much harder than I thought it was going to be. I knew that I hadn’t done much in terms of sleeping, but I also felt like I had slept enough and that I wouldn’t be able to sleep for longer. But, now that I was actually trying to get myself to move and to get out of bed, my body was protesting. Whether I liked it or not, I would have to come to terms with the fact that I was not going to go anywhere. At least not now.Last night had also taken longer than I had prepared for it to take, despite the fact that Samantha had ended up waking up. I didn’t know whether or not the fact that she had been awake played a role in it, but if she had still been sleeping and I had simply been able to carry her up the stairs, things wouldn’t have taken so long. I would have been in bed and asleep in a matter of minutes.It was in this process of allowing myself to get caught up in my thoughts that I was able to realise that there was a considerable amount of light

I was laying in bed at the moment, trying to build up the courage to get up, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I felt like I hadn't gotten enough rest last night, which didn't make sense, because I had gone to sleep early in order to counter the fact that I had had such a late evening the previous night. But, I was now being forced to acknowledge the fact that that might have been a waste of time. I might have gotten enough sleep but I didn't feel rested at all. I felt like anyone who saw me today would be able to see that for themselves. "If you lay in bed any longer, you're going to be late." I turned towards the door and found that Gwen was standing in the doorway. I didn't need to ask to know that she was waiting for me. Elijah had already given me a breakdown yesterday and explained to me that Gwen would take me to school - but that was also all that she would do. Once she was gone, I was going to be on my own, and I was practically going to be thrown into the deep end.

I had convinced myself that none of this was going to be even remotely as bad as I was prepared for. I did not know what it was that had made me believe this factor, but I was thankful for the optimism. But, as always, my optimism did not last long. I was too much of a realist to be taken for a fool, because I knew that there were many things that could go wrong while I was here. I just hoped that I would not need to deal with them - although, I also had the feeling that my hope was misplaced here. Gwen was still standing beside me, which was something that I considered to be somewhat of a miracle in itself. I did not know how long she was going to be here, but I was thankful for her moral support. It was one of the few things that were keeping me in check at the moment, helping me stay grounded. Internally, I found like I was about to collapse from the pressure that I felt, but with her standing here, I was feeling a bit better. One thing that I kept in mind, was the fact that I was

“Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. We’re surprised that you’re actually dressed today, considering what you were wearing this weekend.” The boy who spoke to me laughed, acting like he had just made the best joke of the century. And what was even worse, was the fact that his friends seemed to have no problem with laughing with him. I failed to see what was so funny about his statement, but I was going to indulge him. If he carried on, I would very quickly make his realise that I wasn’t going to be bullied by the likes of him. I was the one who was going to do the bullying. I would need to make my stand sooner rather than later. “I had to leave an impression, did I not?” I found myself thinking that this was the safest comment to make for now. It meant that they had an opportunity to save themselves from what they had started to do, and if they didn’t, then I knew what to do next. It was as simple and as complicated as that. “I think I speak for all of us when I say tha

As far as I had been told, our training area was outside. It meant that everyone had more than enough space to work with, and no one would get in each others way. And at first, I had the feeling that Jace was not leading me to the right place. And, the suspicion that I had felt in regards to his intentions when he had first made that comment, came back like a tidal wave. But, as it turned out, I had merely been jumping to conclusions. He had simply been taking me to a different exit, one that was obviously used specifically for the gym class, because there were a few other students who went through it before us, as well as after us. “I was expecting more people.” It wasn’t a lie. The training classes in our old pack had been packed to the brim. And we didn’t train outside. We used the gymnasium for training sessions, and more often than not, those training sessions happened after school hours. It was something that wasn’t supposed to interfere with your educational time. But, thing

To my surprise, Jace did not cower away after being directly addressed by Elijah, and that in itself was a miracle to me. I knew just as well as anyone that there were certain ways that people tended to behave around Alphas and this wasn’t necessarily one of them. But Elijah didn’t notice it. Or perhaps he just chose not to notice it in order to keep the peace? But, he did continue to come towards us, coming to a standstill beside us. I didn’t know whether or not he was trying to make his presence imposing, but regardless of that, it was one of those things that did not really matter to me. As far as I was concerned, there was no problem with what I was doing. Absolutely no problem whatsoever. And therefore, Elijah didn’t really have any reason to be here, especially if he was just going to lecture me. “Unfortunately, today you’ll be sharing the spotlight with our new pack member.” I had to admit that I was surprised that Jace was speaking so confidently, that he wasn’t shaking in

Once Jace walked away, I could feel some of the muscles in my body start to relax. It was like the strings of a guitar that had been strung too tightly, and were now being tuned correctly. It was something that I wouldn’t be taking granted of for the rest of the day, because personally, I tended to forget how nice it was not to be worried about anything. But I knew that this relief that I felt would be nothing but short lived. It was something that would only last while I was here, and once I left, it would be back. It was something that I was certain of, especially since I knew that Samantha would be available for Jace to talk to again. I should have known that it would only be a matter of time before he tried to sink his claws into her, but I had hoped that it would be a task that was hard for him. I knew Jace much better than I wanted to know him. And it was not because of a good reputation. On the contrary, it was for the exact opposite, and I had a feeling that Samantha had bec

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 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
