I didn't know whether or not it had something to do with my facial expression, or if there was something else that was giving away my true feelings in regards to seeing my parents, but I could tell by the expression on my mother's face, that she was far from happy to see me. That made me feel even less optimistic about this encounter than I already was, and I was going to end up feeling even worse if this continued. And the fact that Arthur was not with them, gave me the impression that this wasn't just going to be a friendly visit in order to wish me luck for tomorrow. "Welcome. I was starting to think that you might not make it." It was Elijah who spoke, and even though he was not standing close to me, he was now much closer than he had been before. It seemed to me like he was slowly starting to make his way to the door, but I didn't understand why it was taking him so long. As far as I was concerned, he should have been here to open the door for them. And maybe he should have tol

I sat in my room, feeling the weight of every minute tick by as if I was carrying it on my shoulders. Elijah had practically disclosed to me what it was that they were discussing down there, but that did not make it any easier for me to be up here. On the contrary, it seemed to make it even harder, because now I didn’t know what was being said. I didn’t know who was speaking in my favour and who was not. I didn’t think that I would be this bothered and disturbed by it, but it seemed like I was still capable of surprising myself. It wouldn’t have been even remotely as bad as this of Arthur had been down there, because I knew that he wouldn’t have dared to spare a moment before he would tell me everything that they had discussed behind my back. The more that I thought about it, the more I was forced to acknowledge the fact that that might have been the exact reason why he hadn’t come with to start with. “Excuse me, Alpha Elijah requests your presence downstairs.” I was somewhat start

For all the confidence that I had had the moment that the Omega had come to call me, it slowly started to dissipate as I made my way down the staircase. On the contrary, I was starting to feel rather apprehensive about going to them. What were they going to say? If they were even going to say anything in the first place. But even though I was thinking as logically as I could about what was going on, I knew, without a doubt, that I would not stop feeling the way that I was feeling until everything started. And even then, it would be dependent on what route the conversation took. I didn’t know whether or not I had been walking to slowly down the staircase, or even if I had hesitated for a moment, because the Omega cleared her throat from behind me, urging me to keep going. I might not have been in any rush to get downstairs, but she definitely did not have any problem with being there. I should have waited for her to walk first. That way, I wouldn’t have had to deal with her rushing me

I would be lying if I claimed to know why Samantha was acting in the way that she was, but if I had to take a guess, I would say that it had something to do with the fact that her father was here. I knew that it was too soon for me to just make a decision like this, but it was something that I simply couldn’t help. And the fact that I was somehow managing to keep myself from directly asking Samantha what was going on, was a miracle in itself. I knew that I possessed more self-control than those around me but it was only in instances such as this one where I was actually reminded of it. “Samantha-““I think it would be best if we did not get ahead of ourselves here. After all, none of us came here to fight. We came here with the intention of placing Samantha and that is what we’re going to do.” It was harder for me to cut off Luke than I had thought it would be, for he seemed to be as determined to speak as I was. But luckily, he did not need to be reminded of my title as he had so e

I knew that I needed to thread very carefully, that I needed to be careful when I spoke. At the rate things were going, I could tell that Samantha was determined to get me to tell her what it was that had forced me to make this decision. But that was where the problem came in - no one had forced me to do this. It was a decision that I had made on my own, and I had simply gotten her father to agree to it. I knew that the right thing to do, would be to tell her that, but something told me that taking the sole blame for this was not going to help me at all. It might’ve been the cowards way out, but my Beta and I would have to share the blame for us - and essentially, the consequences thereof as well. “Samantha. It does not matter what it was that made us come to this decision. The point is that we have decided that this is what is best for you. You might not be able to see our reasoning behind us, and that is fine. But it is not going to make us change our minds.” I had to admit that I

I sat down again, realising that this was not going to be an argument that I would easily be able to win. I had already done what I could, and I had literally gotten nowhere. But even though I was able to acknowledge this factor, I knew that there was absolutely nothing that I could do in terms of making myself feel better. I still felt like I could take each of them on, but I also knew that that would not help my case. I was trying to get them to make a decision in my favour, and maybe I was doing it the wrong way. But regardless of that, the point of the matter remained that I had already done what I had done and said what I had said. The chance that I would be able to redeem myself right now, was practically slim to none, and I was perfectly fine with those odds. After all, it was not like I had intended to redeem myself at all. I wanted them to know what I had meant everything that I had said, and I would mean it even if they were to change their minds. I stared down at the plat

The Omegas cleared the plates off of the dining room table, and I was instantly made aware of the fact that everyone was expecting me to dismiss them. I hadn’t thought about it until now, but I realised that I was not ready for all of us to go our separate ways. There was merely too much that still needed to be discussed, but even so, I also knew that these people were in no position to discuss anything of actual importance with one another. It made me wonder how all of them had managed to stay in the same house for eighteen years to begin with. “I would like to be dismissed. I still have a final assignment that I will need to submit tomorrow, and I do not wish to be up too late working on it.” Samantha’s question was directed at me, and I realised that I had instructed her that she would need to be dismissed by her parents and not by me. I didn’t know whether or not this was a test and she was merely waiting to see whether or not I had said that as a joke. I decided that it would b

As I walked Luke and Julie to the door, I could hear the bath water running, and I knew that Samantha was going to be occupied for quite some time - not that I minded. The Omegas were still going to be here for a while in order to clean up, and by the time that they left, Samantha should have had some time to think about everything that had happened this evening. I did not yet know whether or not I would go and try to speak to her about the matter, but it would only be a matter of time until I was able to make a decision. “It was a pleasure to share your company this evening, Alpha Elijah. I apologise for Samantha’s reaction to your decision. I hope that she will come to her senses soon enough.” The comment came from Luke, and I had to admit that he had some nerve that not even I would have had. There was no guarantee that Samantha wasn’t able to hear us, and to speak so freely was rather disrespectful. I wouldn’t have been surprised if Samantha came running towards us with a machet

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
