I heard the front door open, and I continued to lay completely still - just as I had been before the door had opened. But I was no fool. I knew that there was still a possibility that the person who had come through the front door was not Gwen. It was also a risk that I was not willing to take. I was in a position to protect myself against the threat, so that I could do was to hide from it. And I would continue to do so until I was certain of the fact that the person who has just come through the door was Gwen. I held my breath as I heard the footsteps makes their way up the staircase. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard Gwen walking up the stairs in this house before, otherwise I would’ve been able to piece together the pieces of my memory to figure out whether not it was her. All that I could do now, was to wait. I knew that it was very unlikely that it would be anyone other than Gwen, but it was a risk that I just wasn’t willing to take. The footsteps made their way past the bathroom,

I had been expecting Gwen to jump at the opportunity to speak to me, to tell me about all of the traumas that she had endured during her shift, but instead of that happening, she merely just continued to sit there and look at me, clearly contemplating whether or not it was a good idea for her to speak to me. I, on the other hand, felt somewhat irritated by the fact that she was even hesitating in the first place. After all, what reason could she possibly have not to talk to me about all of this? If there was one thing that would make all of this better, that would make the energy between the two of us somewhat normal, then it was this conversation. It was something that would be able to break the ice, that would be able to keep us talking to one another until we were comfortable with one another again. I thought about prompting her, about saying something extra that would encourage her to start talking and explaining what was happening. But even as the thought entered my mind, I kne

After we had had that rather deep conversation, Gwen decided that she needed a moment to process everything had just happened. And the worst part of it all, was that I could understand why she would need a moment, why she would need some time away from me. If our roles had been reversed and I had found myself in her position, then I would have done the exact same thing. I didn’t even think that I would have gone as far as sharing my story, even if it would have been beneficial to my relationship with someone. And once Gwen was out of the bathroom, I decided that it would be best for me to get out as well. The itching on my arms and legs were starting to get much worse now that there was nothing to distract me, and I had no interest in adding more hot water. If I just stayed here the whole day, I would end up looking like a prune - and I was already halfway there. It took quite some time, but I managed to drain all of the water out of the bathtub, and then get myself into a standing

Despite the strange energy that I had picked up on when I had arrived here, I felt like it was safe for me to say that there was nothing happening here that felt amiss. Everything carried on as usual, with no rogue sightings - something that I was eternally grateful for. If ever there had been a day where I wanted nothing more than some peace and quiet, then today was that day. I was already under so much pressure because of Samantha, and I did not want something else to worry about. I knew that Beta Luke would be coming here to relieve me of my duties in a few minutes, and I had to admit that I was not feeling as apprehensive about all of that as I should have been feeling. I knew that he would be pummelling me with questions about Samantha and why I was not with her, but I felt like I would be able to handle it. Almost as if thinking of him had magically conjured him into existence, I caught sight of him approaching me. I had split up from the other two a while ago, before their o

I took my hand off of Samantha’s forehead, relieved to find that she was not running a temperature, and that the fact that she was laying on the couch with her eyes closed, could actually just mean that she had actually just fallen asleep. As much as I knew that I needed to fret and fuss about her, I also knew that she was more than capable of communicating that she was unwell. I did not want her to feel like a child. I had just been about to go back to the kitchen to put away the food that I had made that she would now not be eating, but the front door opened, startling me to the point where I practically jumped through the roof. But as soon as I registered that it was Alpha Elijah walking through the front door, I could tell myself to relax - but that was something that was easier said than done. I had been on the verge of greeting him, but the words caught in my throat as I took in the expression on his face. I felt like it was safe for me to say that he was far from happy, a sto

As much as I would have liked to hang around, and to wait for a miracle to happen, I knew that the chances of actually being able to do so, were slim to none. With the way that Alpha Elijah had stormed upstairs, I could not help but think that he would not be coming downstairs any time soon. And that in itself, was the only reason why I was still here. I didn’t know whether or not it was a wise decision for me to leave Samantha here alone, when there was no guarantee that Alpha Elijah was here to look after her. As confused as I was, I was still able to think clearly and decide what was best for me to do because I was well aware of the fact that there would be repercussions for my actions. If I just decided to get up and leave, without saying anything to anyone, and Elijah had actually wanted me to stay here with Samantha, then I was going to be in deep shit. But if he had wanted me to leave, then it would be a lot simpler, because then I could still just get up and leave. It wouldn’

I made sure that I laid completely still, for I knew that a single move from me right now, would betray the fact that I was awake. The fact that I had even managed to fool them for as long as I had was a miracle in itself, but I was not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. The fact that I was overheating this conversation changed everything, created so many more problems than the ones that I had initially thought to be present. “You can go home, Gwen. Thank you for staying here and trying to talk to me about everything. I appreciate it. I just wish that it would have made me feel better about everything.” I could tell by the tone of Elijah’s voice, that he meant every word that he was saying. All of this was weighing heavily on his heart - that much I was certain of. But I could not help but feel like I was missing something - after all, why was this such a big deal? I knew that he would be bound to face countless judgements from his pack, but he was their Alpha. He would be abl

After the comment that Elijah had made, I did not really know what I was supposed to say to him, but luckily for my sake, it seemed like he considered this conversation between the two of us to be over and done with. It was either that, or he was simply just too desperate to get away from me out of fear that I would somehow start asking him questions about the very matter that he had been speaking to Gwen about. I knew that he was simply being paranoid, but that did not make it any easier for me to pretend that I did not know what was going on. There was a part of me that wanted nothing more than to be able to tell him that I had been awake and that I had heard everything that he had said. I wanted to tell him that I had taken a scent blocker to try and save myself from trouble, especially in the event that he was not my mate. But there was so much more that had fueled my need to save myself. And I knew that he would not be able to understand all of them, even if I explained everythi

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
