Abby's POV
"Well, ladies, you did well tonight." Beau says to Kayla and me. I start laughing, "I'd say we have officially hit badass fighter status. We both managed to knock the pack Gamma on his ass!" Kayla and I laugh as we high five. Beau shakes his head and laughs, "I guess you have. I'm really proud of both of you". I give him a big hug, "Thanks dad number two! You have no idea how much you and mom number two mean to me!" Then I turn to Kayla, "I gotta get home and shower. I feel like I smell like a wet goat!" Kayla scrunches her nose, "Your feeling would be correct". We both laugh as I walk out. I text my dad letting him know I'm on my way home. He hates it when he doesn't know when to expect me home. It's only two blocks, but he worries.
Five minutes
"Mom, if I have to wear a dress for my birthday, I would prefer this one" I say as I hold up a knee-length, off-shoulder black gown with sequined accents around the neckline. We have been arguing about the dress for 20 minutes. Every time I would try one on, one of us would gush over it while the other three would scrunch their noses. I was really getting tired of trying on dresses. Suddenly a saleslady comes over with a dress that is in a black garment bag, "Ladies! I have the perfect compromise for all of you! This gown has a little bit of everything each of you want. Plus, it's an original design by one of our employees. Noone else has ever worn this dress!" Leah's eyes light up, "That's what is going to set her apart from every other young lady on Earth that day!" I roll my eyes and follow the saleslady to the dressing rooms. As she unlocks one of them, she hands me the dress and says, "This is the perfect compromise. It's floor length, so your mother will be hap
It has been 4 days since my shopping trip, and I am really starting to dread my birthday. I had a particularly hard day at school today. I managed to get supper fixed, then limped up to my room before my parents got home. I know I have some broken ribs and my leg is broken from being kicked and stomped on by Dina and her groupies. She kept saying something about me trying to take Adam from her. I tried telling her I don't want him, but she didn't believe me. I look in the mirror and my face is really bruised up too. One eye is swollen shut, my nose is broken, and my lip is split. Thank Goddess for werewolf healing. I should look normal by morning. I just need to stay away from my parents until morning. I change into a tank top and shorts and sit at my desk to do some homework when my phone vibrates. It's Kayla: K: How are you feeling? M: Hurting like hell, but I should be better by morning. K: I told dad you wouldn't be able to m
I wake up at 6am, on my own, wondering why my mom didn't wake me up before she went to work. I smell the air in my room, and it smells like someone has been in here. Specifically, it smells like Adam's scent. But why would he be in here? It makes no sense at all. I go to stretch and feel a pain in my ribs. I guess those aren't completely healed yet. Maybe I should think about staying home from school today so I can at least start my birthday injury-free. I walk downstairs and find my parents in the kitchen drinking coffee. I look at them with a confused look. Might as well tell them about my suspicions. "Morning," I start as I pour a cup of coffee, "I had a really weird night last night. I woke up about an hour after going to bed last night after I thought I heard a few camera clicks. I took a sniff of the air in my room, and it even smelled like someone had been in my room while I was sleeping. The scent is slightly there now". My dad jumps up and runs to my room. My mom ju
Adam POV I woke up this morning to a text from Dina wanting me to take her to school this morning. I told her I was walking and tossed my phone. Then the mind link started, "But Alpha, I really want to talk to you today," she whined. "Dina, if you can't fucking talk like a fucking adult, leave me alone. It's too early to listen to you whine". That was all I heard from her and I was glad for it. I picked up my phone again and pulled up the pictures I took of Abby last night. I get furious all over again. I know Dina is behind this, but I will confirm it with Abby and Kayla today, then I will have Dina punished to fullest extent possible. Nobody deserves this. I know Abby did nothing to her to deserve it. She never does. I get out of bed and g
Abby's POV Kayla and I went to my room while our parents talked for most of the morning. We just talked about the upcoming fight and my birthday tomorrow until I receive a text from Adam. A: Fight will be 6pm at the clearing. I have required all pack kids in high school to attend. M: Thanks. I will let my dad and Kayla know. A: You were right. She wanted to bring 2 friends who were human. I told her 1 friend who had to be a wolf. She chose Xavier. Are you sure about this? M: Even better! I'm positive. She's trying to intimidate us before the fight even starts. She wants me to back out. She also wants to try to make sure she has the advantage. I'll be ready. A: I hope so. I don'
I imagine you're asking how there is a clearing in the middle of a big city. Actually, it's not a real clearing. It's a spot in a local park where the local police department knows we do things like this. When our pack lets them know, they block it off so that no humans are allowed to go there. It's usually an area where human druggies go to get high, so they normally dismiss it as a bad trip if they stumble upon us. It's another safety issue for both us and the humans. After we eat, Kayla and I change into our matching butterfly leggings and black sports bras and do some warm-ups. At 5:30, we head over to the clearing and there is already a huge crowd forming. I start to get nervous and dad notices. He puts a hand on my shoulder and says, "This is what we've trained so hard for. If that girl in the middle is Dina, you got this. You've knocked me and Beau on our asses. You can definitely take her out. Just remember what we went through today in case she shifts". "I remember,
Adam POV Okay, my mate is a complete badass! Never, in a million years, did I expect what I just saw. She must have been training with her dad and Kayla's dad privately. A lot of those moves looked like their signature moves. I don't care how they trained, I'm just glad they did. "Are you sure about that?" Max asks, "you said you wanted a submissive mate. It looks like our mate is anything but submissive". "At this point, I don't care. So far, everything I'm seeing in her is perfect." I chuckle. I approach Abby and Kayla after they are done hugging their dads and say, "That was one of the quickest fights I have ever seen. You ladies made quick work of them. I was glad to see it. Xavier is going to catch hell at school tomorrow for getting his ass kicked by a sh
Abby POV It was almost 8 pm when we got home from the fight, and I was exhausted. Every time I feel this tired, I know I'm going to get a visit from the Moon Goddess in my dreams, The fact that it's this early, tells me she has a lot to talk to me about.I tell my parents goodnight and go to my room. I take a hot shower and let the steam relax my muscles for a bit. I get out of the shower and dry off. I walk into my room and put on a tank top and shorts. I brush out my hair and put it in a loose braid to keep it from tangling like crazy overnight. I brush my teeth and turn off my light and get in bed. I f
