Beta Bethany 1 year later... "I'm so nervous Brooke!" Between the nerves and excitement, I feel like I'm about to pass out! "I know how you feel sweetheart, I was exactly the same!" Her loving smile always warms my heart but it's doing nothing to help my shaky legs. "I can't believe it's been 4 months already; it's gone so quick!" She nods agreeing before she fixes a stray hair that's escaped her updo as there's a knock on the door and my stomach dips as Joesph, Liam's dad walks in looking smart in a three-piece suit and bow tie. "Oh wow, Bethany you look incredible!" I love this man so much, he's like a second dad to me and will always hold a special place in my heart. "Thank you, Joesph, you look very handsome!" His kind eyes bore into mine as he steps up to me with his arm outstretched. "Are you ready sweetheart?" "As ready as I'll ever be!" The butterflies in my stomach are torturous but I'm so ready for this moment. Brooke, Katie, and Ashley step outside the r
Bethany "Bethany, Beth wake up baby!" "Momma, what's wrong?" "Rogues, we're under attack. I need you to take Bella to the safe room and don't come out until I come and get you, ok? Promise me you won't come out until it's safe Beth!" "Ok momma, I won't I promise!" "Good girl, now run and don't stop, protect Bella. I love you, Bethany." "I love you too momma." I take a sleeping Bella from my mom's arms and run out of my bedroom, down the hallway, down the stairs, through the living room, and finally reach the kitchen. I pop open the door as the growls and pain-filled howls start to get louder and I'm just grateful that Bella is sleeping through all of this. Finally, we reach the safe room. I lock the door once we're inside and lay Bella on the mattress on the floor. This room has everything we need, there are two mattresses on the floor with blankets and pillows, torches within reach just in case the power goes out or we need to keep the main light off, and a cupboard wit
Bethany The women, children, and elderly are still in here... but they're dead. HOW? How did anyone get in here? How could anyone kill these defenseless people? those poor babies! What have they been through? What did they see before they were murdered? I can't hold back my tears; I start looking around praying there's someone still alive but the longer I'm here the less hope I have. I call out quietly begging someone to answer me and someone does, I can't believe it. I move quickly to where the sound is coming from to find Mrs Thompson my best friend Carly's mom. "Mrs Thompson, are you ok?" "Beth dear hi, no sweetheart I'm bleeding pretty bad!" "Oh Mrs Thompson we need to get you help now; do you know where Carly is?" "No, it's too late for me Beth, as soon as I stand, I'll bleed out, I don't have much longer left. Beth sweetheart Carly... she's... gone... She's dead!" I knew in my heart that she was gone but hearing it out loud still feels like a knife tearing my heart
Future Luna Brooke The music is pumping, the dancefloor quickly filling, the drinks are flowing and the food is endless, this BBQ is going great. My mate certainly knows how to throw a party. The Alpha of this pack is one incredible leader, he's everything an Alpha should be and would lay his life down for any one of his members. He's been Alpha for the last 2 years after he took over the position at 18 when his dad was ready to retire. A lot of Alphas won't retire until the future Alpha has found his Luna but Alpha Calvin wasn't getting any luck and his dad was ready to retire so he took on the role without his Luna by his side. He finally met his Luna 3 weeks ago; it turns out the reason he hadn't found his Mate before was that she lived in a different pack that he had never visited. I don't know what I did in life to deserve him as my mate, never imagined I'd be a Luna but I honestly couldn't be happier. "Is my Luna enjoying the BBQ?" His strong arms wrap around my waist as h
Beta Liam I'm sitting in the Alpha's office running through everything that needs doing today. Our poor Luna is understandably devastated after the news she received this morning and as always, she can rely on Alpha being at her side. We can all rely on him, he is an incredible Alpha and mate. It may only have been 3 weeks since he met our Luna but he honestly treats her like a queen. I've not found my mate yet but honestly, I can't wait. It's been 1 year since I turned 18 and could find her but so far, no luck but I'm not giving up hope not yet after all Cal is 20 and only recently met his mate. I can't believe out of the whole pack there are only 2 known survivors from moonshine and best of all it's Brooke's 14-year-old sister and 6-month-old niece. I know Brooke said she was one hell of a fighter but the fact that she got herself and a baby out of there is insane. I've got to admit Brooke's sister is a strong brave girl she not only got her and the baby away from the pack lands
Marcus For as long as I can remember I have always been different from my family, my pack. They were kind people, always helping where needed and I knew they would die for any one of the members but that wasn't me, isn't me. Sure, I put on the act of being kind to others and willing to fight for any one of them but truthfully whenever I did anything nice for any of them it made my skin crawl. I kept up the protective and loving act well in front of my parents and sister but the truth is I couldn't stand them. They were Omegas weak and pathetic. I may have Omega blood in me but I've always known I am more than a mere Omega, worth so much more than them. I've always hated anyone telling me what to do and whenever I had to submit to the Alpha and obey his every order, I'd feel so angry, how dare he order me around! how dare anyone tell me what to do like a mere peasant! I'm the one who should be giving out the orders, I'm the one who should be being obeyed, not them and certainly not h
Marcus At 4 am this morning the plan went ahead. I met with the Rogues just outside the pack border and we made our way to the pack lands ready to end everyone, ready to claim what's rightfully mine. I was shocked when I turned up to meet the Rogues, I knew I hadn't met them all but there were over 300 of them. My plan was going to be even smoother than I thought. We all split up into groups all based around the pack lands and house and started our attack. We had a huge advantage because most of them were sleeping. It was one hell of a fight, there was blood shit, and piss everywhere, body parts sprawled across the floor and I was loving every second. I had told the Rogues beforehand I was to be the one to kill the Alpha and that's exactly what I did. I will say he put up a fight for an older man but he was no match for me, I sunk my teeth into him and ripped his fucking throat out. It was glorious and every time I relive it, I get goosebumps from the excitement I felt. I was also
Bethany Once Bella and I are in the SUV with Alpha Calvin's men I finally allow myself to breathe. We're safe now, I may not know these men personally but if Brooke trusts them to come and get us then I know we'll be safe. I fed and changed Bella before we left so she should nap soon. One of the warriors Jake is driving while Gamma Jack sits up front next to him. Callum, David, and Scott are sitting in the row in front of me and John is sitting in the same row as me with Bella in between us. The closer we get to my new home the more I seem to calm down. I can't wait to see Brooke and I can't wait to not feel alone anymore. I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Bella crying as she stirs from her sleep. I check the time to realize we have been on the road for 4 hours already and I'm internally grateful for how quickly the time has gone. "Shh shh, baby girl." "Beth, there is a diner 5 minutes up the road would you like to stop for something to eat and to see to Bella?" Gamma Jack calls f
