“Will you stop meddling! This is your sister’s day!” My mom shouts at me for the third time today. It was no different to any other day. They always preferred Abby. At least this time I wasn’t being hit.
“I’m sorry, okay, but I need to talk to you!” She glares at me with those bright blue eyes of hers.
“What a surprise?! Can you not let your sister enjoy her day without making it about you!” She scolds me again as she hurries about putting the decorations up. The problem was it was never about me. They didn’t give a shit about me and it had been this way since they adopted me.
Abby and I came as a pair. We were not biological sisters but we had been inseparable in the orphanage and she had taken me under her wing. Our parents weren’t allowed to adopt her without me, so they took me too. It would have been better if they had left me behind.
“But mom, please you need to listen!”
Her hand finally reaches out and strikes my face. I don’t know why I expected anything different. I get hit at least once a day.
“That is enough Lana. You are twenty years old. Grow up!”
Staring at her while holding my reddening cheek, I keep my mouth shut. Mom may hit me, but dad, well he did a lot worse.
Mom didn’t even have a clue what I was, as far as she was aware. I was just like her, human! Yet for some reason, I could never stand up for myself against them. Maybe they were the ones who had created a deep hatred for my own kind.
Dad appears, carrying a platter, his deep grey eyes scanning over me. I watch as his face turns from relaxed to one that is full of anger.
“You! Why is she here Millie?”
My mom sighs, but refuses to look back at him. Sometimes I wondered why they were even together.
“Abby wants her here.”
“She isn’t welcome in this house!” He grits his teeth as he glares at me.
Mom may not have known what I was but dad certainly did. Ever since I made a comment about how people had smelt.
I was maybe four at the time, not long after we were adopted. Our family had been invited to a street party. Mom wanted to celebrate that they finally had children. But I ruined the party for them. In one single comment.
“Why do they smell dirty?”
That comment had changed everything. My father knew instantly what I was and he was livid, but he couldn’t get rid of me. What kind of dad would he have looked like? Instead everything was kept behind closed doors, even Abby didn’t know.
He grabs me by the collar of my shirt, ripping me off my feet as he pulls me from the room.
“I told you, you were not to come back!”
“Abby invited me.” I try to stand up for myself but he has always made me feel powerless. Yet anywhere else, I was confident in who I was
His hand wraps into my curls as he yanks my head back. He holds his lips centimetres from my ear.
“You better not ruin this for my daughter.” He throws me down on the ground like I was nothing and boots me in the ribs.
I don’t know why I agreed to come, maybe a part of me hoped they had changed, Maybe they would see I wasn’t such a weak girl anymore. That’s what I wanted to tell them. I wanted to know about everything Abby and I had succeeded in doing. After all, they hated wolves.
The doorbell rings and I hear my mother squeal.
“She’s here, she’s here.” They had never cheered like that for me, ever!
Standing up, my father knocks me to the ground again before going to the door. My ribs are already aching and as I roll up my top, I see the bruising already appearing. I may be a wolf but for some reason. I just didn’t heal very well.
Pulling my top down, I tuck it back into my jeans. I didn’t need Abby worrying about this now. She had always suspected something but had never known the truth. I had managed to keep that from her.
I hear her squeal again and then ask where I was. On cue, I wandered in from the kitchen, plastering a big smile on my face. Abby was my best friend, my sister. She looked out for me and I knew she would come to my defence if she knew about mom and dad. Yet they loved her and I couldn’t break that apart.
She wraps her arms around me, acting like we hadn’t seen each other for months, when the truth was, we were together every night, sometimes during the day too.
I flinch when she squeezes me. My ribs felt like they were going to pop out of place and I see her frown but she says nothing.
“Mom, Dad, this is amazing. Thank you so much!” She quickly pulls her red hair up in a bun, her eyes scanning me as she continues to frown.
“Let’s open presents!” Mom pulls Abby into the small lounge. Where a stack of gifts sat waiting. Abby was turning twenty five but they still bought her everything they could think of. My last birthday, I got a tin of baked beans.
I sit in silence on the floor. I had never been allowed to sit on the sofas. Dad had always told me he didn’t want my wolf stench on them. Here I always felt like a small child, here I hated myself. Abby sits down on the floor next to me and leans into me. This time, I couldn’t help but yelp and she frowns.
“What is it? Did you get hurt last night?”
“Yeah,” I lie, but she continues to frown at me.
“You’re lying to me Lana!”
“It’s fine!” I snap back.
“You’re hiding something. I know you Lana, you don’t get hurt!”
“Abby, it’s your birthday. Just enjoy it!”
“I will get to the bottom of this!” she half whispers, half shouts at me and I can feel my fathers eyes on me.
They had been doing this to me all my life and Abby had never found out. I wasn’t about to let the information out now, because what if Abby takes their side?. What if Abby sees the mongrel that they see??

Lana’s POVWhen I was sent to do the dishes, I already knew that I was in for a rough ride. His footsteps have always haunted me. I had come to recognise his sound, his scent. It always sent a shiver through me.“Fucking scum!” he mutters as he pushes the door open.I keep quiet, just trying to get through the dishes. I just wanted to go home.“I knew as soon as we brought you home, I knew exactly what you were.. That thing on your neck, darkening with each moment that we got closer to home.”I should have turned to face him. I didn’t and that was my mistake. His hands lock around my neck as he pushes me up against the counter. He slowly starts to squeeze and no matter how much I pull at his hands. My fingers did nothing.“Why?” I choke out as the pressure continues.There is no answer, his hands continue squeezing as I desperately gasped for air. Struggling against him, my body is weak, I cannot fight him.“ABBY!” I just about call her name and I hear my father laughing.“She has gon

Lana’s POVIt's been a year since the incident. The voice! Saying he is Logan and he is my mate, he never linked me again. It’s weird, but I soon pushed the thoughts out of my head as I started a new beginning.New city and new apartment and I could smell their stench before I opened my door. Why the hell did they have to smell so vile and why were there so many in my apartment block? This was not what I had signed up for when I moved here.“Shitty wolves!” I mutter to myself.Knocking back some painkillers. I quickly guzzle some water in the hopes that it would prevent a headache from starting. It already felt like it was going to be a long day and I hadn’t even left my apartment.Groaning, I grab my bag and lock the door. Quickly making my way to the elevator. Hoping and praying that I wouldn’t bump into one of them. The last thing I needed is to stink like a wolf all day. It was bad enough it took me hours to get the stench off me last night, it’s like it just clings to me. Yet I n

Logan’s POV“I have a meeting and you're telling me this now!” I was already so angry with my father.“I didn’t want to worry you but…”“But what?”“I can’t link them either.” “Why didn’t you tell me? They are my sisters too!” I lean against his desk, the one that would be mine soon as he chucks another drink back his throat.“I didn’t want to worry you Logan.”“Are you serious? There is someone out there that has been killing wolves for the last two years and you expect me not to worry! How long?””“I’m sure they are fine.”“How long?” I repeat my question, getting more and more frustrated. He was expecting me to be some great Alpha when I take over and yet he wasn’t telling me everything.“Five days.” He groans, shaking his head.“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”“They are sixteen, you know what you were like at that age. You were the one who turned my hair grey!” He wasn’t wrong, I looked up to the grey flecks of hair running through his once dark hair. I hadn’t exactly been a gold

Lana’s POVAbby stays with me until we pull up in front of the large hotel. There must easily be five hundred rooms in this place. Everything from the outside was glass and I don’t really remember seeing this place before, but then Abby and I hadn’t been in town for long.“Wow, fancy!” Abby mutters as she climbs out the passenger door.“Yeah and I can already smell them!”“I think there must be something wrong with your nose. It’s really not that bad!” Abby shrugs her shoulders at me before wishing me luck and waving me off.My boots click clack along the marbled floor as I make my way to the front desk and ask to see Logan Lonecrown. I was just grateful that the receptionist was human. Hopefully a sign that this Logan person was too.“Ah, you must be Miss Decker. Mr Lonecrown is unavailable right now”I roll my eyes, it wasn’t the first time this meeting had been rearranged. I knew what was about to happen. She was going to give me a load of shit about making it up to me.“But Mr Set

Logan’s POVUncle Liam links me before I even make it to the training ground. Gut instinct tells me that he is about to ruin my fun!“I need you to come see me, now.” I roll my eyes, ready for the warning he was going to give me.“I’m on my way to training. ”“There is no training taking place today.” There’s worry in his tone. It wasn’t like Liam to ever be worried. He was usually so chilled.“You need to come to my house. Now!”“Fine, I am on my way!” I snap through the linkTaking a detour, I make my way to his house, where he is sat nursing a glass of whisky. His eyes flicker up to me as he kicks out a chair and tells me to sit. His brow is wrinkled as he concentrates on his glass. His frown makes him look old. Is this what Alpha life held for me?“Where are the others?”His house was normally packed with the rest of his brood, but he was here, alone.“You’re aunt has some news about the twins.”“Aunty Kendra is helping?” I was shocked because I was more powerful than her and yet
Hunting the Alpha Seven.
Lana’s POVI had heard him. He knew we were there. That same voice from before. It had made my body vibrate as he screamed into my head. We may have taken it too far this time. I think we have pissed off the wrong wolf.How did he know it was me and why did he choose that moment to shout at me?“Here!” Abby hands a glass of wine to me. The twins had been young, probably the youngest I had ever killed. I still hadn’t told her about the voice. I needed more information before I told her.“Why don’t you stay here tonight? There are no wolves and we can plan the next step. Plus you seem a little bothered.” She tilts her head as she watches me.“They were so young.” I mutter“It’s another step closer to the Alpha!”“It doesn’t bother you that they were practically children?”She takes a huge swig of wine and doesn’t answer my question. So I decide not to push it. Abby was older than me and she quite often knew better.“Can I at least shower?” I ask“You know where it is.” She knocks back

Logan’s POVDealing with the death of my sisters was the hardest thing that I had ever done. I had known about this hunter for some time and instead of standing up and taking charge. I listened to my parents. Believing that my father was right.Watching my parents mourn over their bodies was heartbreaking and yet I was so full of rage. I had warned Lana and when I find her, she will regret the day she tried to fuck my kind over. I didn’t care that she was my mate. I would never accept her.I see Seth standing by the trees, gesturing to me. Making my way over to him, I shake my head, now was not a good time. If there was a problem he needed to see Uncle Liam.“I know this isn’t a good time Logan, but there is something you should know.”He holds out his phone to me, a photo of Lana sat in reception in one of my hotels. If I had just looked at it quickly, I would have thought it was Aunty Kendra.“Why do you have a photo?” I snap, my anger was pretty close to the surface. I’m pretty su

Lana’s POV “Mr Norman, what are you doing here?” I quickly slip the blade up my sleeve as I stared at him in surprise. Why had he broken into my home? What reason did he have to be here? “Please, call me Seth,” he stands with a smile and hands me a glass, it was full with a brown liquid. Whisky. I’m not stupid, I wasn’t going to touch a single drop. Placing the glass down, I see him suck in his cheeks, he had put something in it! “That still doesn’t tell me why you are in my home!” His hazel eyes run over me as I stand my ground. “Please sit. I wanted to make sure you were okay. You seemed a little out of sorts.” “I’m not the one who is out of sorts. I haven’t broken into someone’s home!” I feel like I have every right to be defensive. This was my home and I had not invited him in. “You’ve been crying, anything I can help you with?” He takes a long swig of the whisky in his glass. Ignoring his comment, I ask him again. “Why are you in my home?” my fingers sat tightly around the

Hunting the Alpha Epilogue.
One year laterLana’s POVI never heard from Blake after that day. It was impossible for him to link me after I broke the bond between us. But it didn’t stop his wolves trying to locate me.For the first six months, it even made the news. That there was a new Alpha of Alpha’s. They gave my name and description, promising a reward if I was returned to them. But as time went on, my appearance on the news became less and less. The humans were losing interest. I was never spotted. I had had my hair permanently relaxed so I didn’t have to deal with the curls. I wore shades when it was sunny or brown contacts when the weather was rubbish. If I went out, I never went out alone. I was always with Dillon. A human.It had taken a couple of months before we officially became a couple. Though that didn’t stop us fooling around before then. Not once did I feel pressured with him. Not once did I feel like he was hiding something. He never hesitated to answer a question. He was different, he wasn’t

Lana’s POV“I already know that.”“No you don’t. Not entirely.”Switching off the car engine. I turn to look at him properly. “What do you mean?”“Blake controls what he wants to control.”“I don’t follow.”“You really are naive, Lana. They told me that you were hard to convince. That you didn’t understand pack life. But you really can’t see what is right in front of you.” He pulls open the jeeps door, grabbing my hand, he places it on his chest. Just like Blake, he had no heartbeat.“How?” I mutter“We are all the same. Anyone that is under Blakes leadership ends up like us.”“Why would you follow him?” “Because it’s always too late. By the time we realise, there is no turning back.”“I don’t get it?”“Holy shit, Lana.” He shakes his head at me. “Are you just not willing to see it, is that it?”“See what? Blake said he made a deal.”“And you didn’t think to question it. He is the reason you killed Logan. He is the reason you chose him. He is the reason for everything.”“Why?”“Becau

Lana’s POVLogan leans into me, gasping for breath. The Blade slips further into his heart. I couldn’t believe that I had done it. That I was the one to kill him. That I was the one to finally stop him.Xavier had told Blake that I was in the back of the car. Blake had talked me through the plan. He made it clear that I could not speak back to him. That if I were, it would give me away. That Logan would know.He told me that they were tracking me, that I would have to take a chance and throw myself from the car. I did exactly what I was told. The moment my feet hit the ground, I run into the forest. Logan had been steps behind me. If he had lunged forward, he probably would have got me. But Blake somehow pulls me away. Lifting my feet off the ground as he placed a hand over my mouth. He wasn’t alone. I could just make out Xavier and Abby hiding among the trees. Abby's eyes were looking in the direction I had just come from. Her lips moving.As Blake hands me the dagger. I felt the sa

Logan’s POVShe had given herself to him. I could smell his stench all over her as I held her close. But she would be mine again soon enough. She doesn’t scream, she doesn’t fight me, even when I pin her against the door. She doesn’t even try to link Blake. In fact she does everything that I ask. Pulling her out of the window, I drop us to the ground. Checking that we were entirely alone before heading into the forest.Blakes men were stupid. They were easy enough to get past undetected. It helped that Lana followed me like a sheep. That she did everything I asked.Pushing her into the back seats of my hidden jeep, she still remains quiet. There was no heavy breathing, there weren’t even any tears. She looks back over her shoulder as I drive away from the new pack that Blake had created.“Don’t you dare link him.” I warn her. If she had already done so, there would be no chance that I would get out of the pack grounds alive.Her head moves up and down. Her brown eyes wide as they lo

Lana’s POVHe was so angry. The grey of his eyes deepened as he snapped at me, pointing to the door. He must have seen the vision too. It was the only answer as to why he was so angry.“I don’t want to see Freya. I want to know what the vision means. I know you saw it too.”“It’s you.” He takes a step back. “It was never Logan. It was always you.”“I don’t know what you mean!” I did though. He had seen it as clearly as I had. The dead bodies piled up underneath me. The blood that was streaked across my face. How he and Logan were both looking up to me.“You know exactly what I mean Lana. Don’t try and play the fool now.”“I’m not… I…” I had no idea what to say and sit myself back down in his office chair. “I would never.”“Wouldn’t you? It’s not like you are sin free is it? You have killed wolves in your bid to find him. Your aim was to stop him.”“I didn’t, that was Abby. I was just… just there. I don’t want to do that. That isn’t me.”He lets out a sigh and shakes his head at me. “I

Blake’s POVIt was like we had never been apart. Everything came flooding back. Every inch of her body was just as I remembered.Hurrying up the stairs, I run into Freya. She frowns and then asks if I had seen Lana. She didn't normally speak to me unless Calvin or Lana were around.“Yes, I’m just retrieving some clothes for her.”Her frown deepens until her brows suddenly shoot upwards, a big smile on her face. “Could you just tell Lana that I need to speak to her, like urgently.”“Is there a problem?”“Not exactly. Maybe, I guess. Nothing to do with Logan or anything thats happening.”She spins around and I catch the extra scent on her. She was pregnant.“You want me to tell Lana that you’re pregnant?”She turns back to me. Her eyes wide. “How did you know?”“I’m not stupid, your scent has altered to accommodate the hormones.”“I know you don’t like me Alpha Blake, this wasn’t supposed to happen. Not now, not ever.”“Have you told Calvin?”She shakes her head at me.“Then maybe start

Lana’s POV“Logan is recreating the Blood Pack.” I mutter, casting my eyes in Blakes direction.“I warned you, Lana. I warned you about this shit. You should have stuck with the plan.”“The witch finally says something that I can agree with.” Blake sits on a bench against the furthest wall.I pull the collar of my tshirt down, “Can you get rid of this?”“It’s a mate bond, only rejection can.”“It’s not a true bond.”She gazes at me with her brown eyes, “He never confirmed it?”“No.”“He finally fucked up.” She mutters to herself. A smile spread across her face. “Lana, he screwed up.”“What do you mean, witch?” Blake spits on the ground. Clenching his teeth together.“That mark. He was supposed to confirm it. Kendra put it on you when she saw his mark. She used his blood to form a bond between you. Replicating his mark.”“Kendra? How do you know this?”I had had the mark for as long as I could remember.“Before she figured out the danger of what Logan could do. She thought connecting y

Lana’s POVThere were talks every day. Some that I was shielded from, others where they encouraged me to talk. But I never had anything to say. Other than feeling like my head was going to explode.Blake was growing more and more pissed off when no one could come up with a plan. What Blake wanted to do was use me. I had agreed to it. But so many of the pack hated the idea. They thought that I would turn on them, or that Logan would use me to get exactly what he wanted.It didn’t help that Logan continued to call to me. He seemed to think that he could talk to me whenever he wanted. It was impossible for me to block him. He would never ask me how I was. It was always questioning me about Blakes plans. When I didn’t answer, he would grow mad and cut me off. And for a moment, I would find relief. He was choosing the Blood Pack over me.I had stopped trying to fight it or trying to hide it. Blake would always know. He had already said that Logan was trying to break me down. I finally beli
Hunting the Alpha Ninety.
Blake’s POVFive days had passed and there had been no sign of him. It was like he had fallen off the Earth. I sent people out everyday. But there wasn’t even a single piece of evidence that suggested he had returned home or that he had come anywhere near my pack.Lana wasn’t herself either. She would wander the house. Often deep in thought. I tried to talk to her but it was like talking to a brick wall. Anything that I said just didn’t sink in. Sometimes I would find her in a corner, muttering to Freya. They would stop talking the moment they saw me.I didn’t like the witch being here, but I had very little choice in the matter. Calvin had already marked the witch. If I threw her out, then I would have problems with my brother and Lana. It was a shitty scenario that I was trying my hardest to ignore. Aiming to focus on the bigger problem of Logan.More and more of my pack from Europe turned up everyday. New homes were constantly being built on the land. It was expanding quickly, but
