I remained seated, perfectly still as I waited for the Alpha to leave out of the front door. I kept waiting for him to say something in an attempt to get me to go to with him again. But luckily for me, he did not say anything to me. He left out the front door, and it felt like there was a heavy weight that had lifted off of my shoulders. I knew that there was no real reason for me to feel the way that I was feeling, but I couldn't help it. The feeling came naturally, like it would always be there.
For goodness sake, I did not even know his name.I was worried about spending time with a man whose name I did not even know. Surely, that was not right. It was foolish. It was like I was degrading myself, and even though I was not, I could not help but feel like it especially because I had slept with him. It felt like the memory of that was going to be ingrained into my mind for the rest of my life, like I was going to be forced to remember it for the entirety of tI could tell by the expression on her face that she was far from impressed by what I had just done, but it seemed to me like she was not going to fight against the desires of her brother. There was a part of me that was feeling rather anxious about what I was doing, but it was too late for me to do anything about it. I had already made the decision to do this, and there was no turning back now.When I had come downstairs and I had asked her to join me on my jog, my desire to go on the said jog had disappeared the moment that she said that she wouldn't be joining me. And then, instead of having the guts to go back upstairs, I did not want to admit to the way that I was feeling, and that was why I went outside. I had stood on my porch like a man who did not know what to do with his life, like someone who had knocked on the wrong door and was trying to figure out where they were actually supposed to be.Of course, my salvation had come in the form of her broth
Last night when I had been roaming around these packlands, it had felt much different if I had to compare it to now. It was almost as if the pack had been alive with strangers, like the scent of not belonging had been everywhere in the air. It had felt completely normal for me, and I hadn't even thought twice about the fact that I would be considered as a rogue here until we had been initiated into the pack. But now, as I approached the pack house, I could not help but acknowledge the fact that I was hyper aware of it. I did not know what I was feeling, but it wasn't very pleasant. I wanted nothing more than to be able to turn around and go right back where we came from, but I knew that that was something that wasn't going to be happening any time soon. As much as I wanted to pretend that this was not the best thing to do, I knew that there was only so much that could go wrong. After all, we were literally with the Alpha. Anyone who dared to do anything without questioning their own
It proved to be much harder than I thought it was going to be, but I found my own seat at the table. Unfortunately, the plave where I managed to find an open chair, was quite far away from Arthur - it was also quite far away from Alpha Elijah. I was being put in a completely isolated place, and I was going to be thrown into the deep end. I just hoped that no one would try and talk to me, that we would all be able to eat our breakfast in peace. I felt like a child who had joined her parents on a trip to visit relatives who she did not even like. It was a canon event that everyone experienced, but I failed to see why I was being put in a position where I needed to experience it again. I wanted nothing more than to be able to go back to our parents, although I doubted that our welcoming there would be much better than the welcoming that we had here. "What's your name?" I closed my eyes for a moment, realising that I was not going to have it as easy as I would have liked to have it. Wh
"I'm not entirely sure on whether or not I'll be able to pull it off just yet, but I'm hoping to finish the preparations for the initiation ceremony today. That way, I won't need to worry about supervising all of you while you are out of the house.'We were currently on the way back to my house, once again, with Arthur walking ahead of us. He looked like he was in his own world, like his spirits had definitely been lifted in comparison to the way that they had been when we had been on the way back to the packhouse. I didn't realise that breakfast was such an important part of his day. But then again, he was a growing child. I did not have much experience with them, but when I had been young, I had practically eaten everything in the house. Perhaps he was the same.Luckily, I had arranged for some supplies to be delivered to our house later today. I didn't know whether or not it would be enough to sustain them for the entire week, but I did think that it wou
Once we got back to Alpha Elijah's house, he did not even bother going inside with us. He just made sure that there was no one who would pose a threat to us, and then he left us to close the last bit of distance ourselves. It was something that I had found rather odd, but I was in no position to ask questions - and therefore, I did not. And just as well, because the moment that I opened the door, our mother and father were standing in front of us like two vultures who were ready to descend onto their prey."Where have you been?"My fathers voice was curt, his anger quite audible within it. It was something that I had been expecting, but I had gotten so caught up in my conversation with Alpha Elijah that I had forgotten what I was coming home to. As much as I would have wanted the Alpha to come back inside with us. just to avoid all of this backlash, it didn't happen. I would need to deal with all of this by myself, whether I liked it or not."I
"I just don't think that we're going to have the man-power, or even the resources to finish the construction of an entire cottage in the span of a week. You know just as well as we do, that we barely would have finished within the two week mark. Why is there this sudden rush?" I couldn't blame my Gamma for asking all of the questions that she was asking. She had always been on top of things, and during the last few weeks that we hadn't had a Beta, she had filled the role quite well, making sure that we did not feel the loss or the lack of a male second in command. Her opinion was one that I had grown to value and respect, and it was one of the reasons why I was so adamant on making sure that she was in complete agreement with what we were going to do from here on forward. "It's for my own peace of mind. As it turns out, their daughter is insufferable, and having her in my house for weeks on end is something that isn't going to bode well for my temper when it
My heart was pounding in my chest with such an intensity that I was almost certain of the fact that it was about to rip right out of my chest. It was like I had no control over myself, my body and mind both working of their own accord. It understood the intensity and the pressure that I had to deal with due to the situation that we now found ourselves in. I could only imagine what Luke was going to say when I told him that his daughter had been ripped into shreds -and I really hoped that the situation had not gotten that bad.The moment that I was out and in the open, I shifted, knowing that I would be able to find Samantha myself at a much faster speed than our enforcer would be able to relay their location to me - and I was right. The moment that I was shifted, it was like every instinctive part of my body pushed me forward, knowing where I needed to go. I didn't know what it was that made Samantha stand out to me like this, but I did know that it was s
I slammed the door shut as I entered the house, uncaring about the fact that I would be bound to attract the attention of my father and my mother. At this point in time, with the way that I was feeling, I was more than prepared to face them and whatever was left of their temper. I was willing to dish out my own spoon of emotions as well, because I was not going to deal with them. That was not the way that things were going to work this time around.I had walked away earlier, because I had hoped to avoid causing more trouble than all of this was worth, but it was too late for that now. I felt like I had had majority of my organs bruised in one way or another, and I wanted to take it out on someone. After all, I wouldn't have left the house if it hadn't been for the way that they had been treating me.Just as I had been expecting, it took no more than a few moments for my father to make his appearence, coming out of the dining room, which was further down the
