ALPHA KANE’S POV I was sitting at my desk looking aimlessly at these papers in front of me while Savannah was working on the computer right across from me. When her phone rang, I thought she would just ignore it since she was working, but she answered it. She kept working while she answered it though, so I didn’t mind. But when I heard her mother’s voice screaming at her on the other end I couldn’t help but snap my head up to look at her. Savannah looked at me with this strange and embarrassed look on her face and she got up from her chair and she left the office. I knew that her and her mother had a really close relationship so why the hell would her mother be screaming at her on the phone like that for no apparent reason. “Daniel.” I mind linked. “Yes Alpha.” “Are you still in the packhouse?” “Yeah. I’m in the kitchen.” Daniel said. “Savannah is in the hallway outside my office. I can’t hear because she closed the door and this room is soundproof. Try and hear what she’s
SAVANNAH’S POV I woke up to the sun shining in the windows of the car and my phone was vibrating in my pocket. I felt my cheek and it was still really sore and tender. It hurt to touch. The claw marks were definitely still there. It didn’t feel like they had started healing at all. ASHER - Hey, are we jogging this morning or not? ME - No. Not this morning. Not up for it. Won’t be at school either. ASHER - Is everything alright? ME - Just not feeling well. I’ll talk to you later. I sat up and I got in the driver’s seat and I went home. I pulled up outside the house and stared at the house before I got out of the car and I went inside. I saw my mother sitting at the kitchen table but I ignored her and I went upstairs to my bedroom and I slammed the door and locked it. Making sure that she got the hint not to talk to me. I heard her leave for work a little while later so I came out of my room and I went to the bathroom and I had a shower. When I got out of the shower I looke
ALPHA KANE POV I sat there staring at Savannah, thinking of what I could possibly say next. There was so much going through my head and so many questions that I couldn’t get them straight. It made no sense. Why would he let them leave if he wanted to kill them. They didn’t get his permission to leave. They are runaways. It is wrong for another pack to take in runaways from another Alpha, and that’s why she was so scared when she first got here. But it looks like she’s not holding back anymore. She obviously didn’t want to keep that secret from me anymore, and I was starting to wonder why. Why is she willing to tell me all of this? She knows that she could be banished from my pack if I think that they are a danger and if I think that they have broken the rules of the werewolf council. I can’t put my pack at risk, but at the same time, I am not letting her leave this pack knowing that she’s got a target on her back. I don’t care about her mother. I will gladly throw her out afte
SAVANNAH POV I wasn’t sure what time mom was going to be home tonight. And I really didn’t want to see her when she did get here. I wanted to be anywhere but here. She broke the biggest promise to me that she has ever made. And on top of that, I have cuts on my face to prove it. I wasn’t going to forgive her for this. At least, I wasn’t going to make it easy for her. So when I finished eating that night I went to the hospital and used the spare keys to her car that I had and I got in it. I sent her a text message and told her that I was taking the car, because I’m not a complete bitch, and I left the hospital and drove straight off the pack territory. I know that it is stupid and reckless, but at times, I just don’t care about being stupid and reckless. Sometimes that’s the only thing that keeps me going. The only thing that does keep me sane from all the insanity in my life. So I drove to the nearest human town and stopped at the bar just on the outskirts of town. Knowing that
I sat there practically frozen in place as Alpha Kane stalked towards me. The murderous look in his eye had me scared for my life right now. He bent down and grabbed my bra and shirt and threw them at me. “Get dressed.” He growled. And he walked outside of the room but I could hear him in the hallway outside. He wasn’t leaving until I did. I got dressed as fast as I could and I got up and walked to the hallway where he grabbed my arm and he dragged me out of the clubhouse. By now, there was a crowd gathered outside the bar and they all backed off as soon as they saw the size of Alpha Kane and the look on his face. I tried to pull my arm free a couple of times, but he only gripped it tighter and he dragged me to the car and he opened the passenger door for me to get in. He then got in the driver’s seat and he sped out of there like a bat out of hell. I was surprised that he could see anything with that murderous look on his face. Almost like he was seeing red. I didn’t know
####TRIGGER WARNING - SEXUAL ABUSE REFERENCES#### “My dad was an asshole. He used to beat my mother and she used to cope with it by drinking and taking pills. So she was off her face most of the time and didn’t know what was going on. Dad started beating me because he was sick of beating my mother. She was usually unconscious anyway, so he got no joy out of it. The scars on my back are from a silver whip. Dad and Calvin took it in turns. When the council found out what dad was doing, he had to take off. But it didn’t sober my mother up. Calvin kept up the abuse. It was just physical at first. But afterwards, it turned into more than that. He called me to the packhouse one day while I was at school. I had to leave class and go to the packhouse. I assumed that he was just bored and needed someone to beat. I thought that’s what it was. But when I got there I was told to go up to his room. I’d never been to his room before that day. He was waiting for me up there. And when I walked in, h
####TRIGGER WARNING#### I started walking up to the house and I was surprised that Alpha Kane was following me. I expected him to start walking back to the packhouse since it was our car that he was driving. He obviously wasn’t going to take it with him. But he was walking with me towards the house. I didn’t say anything to him, but I opened the front door and I heard my mother get up from the table and I stopped at the kitchen doorway. “Who the fuck do you think you are? Who told you that you can just take the car without asking me and make me walk home from the fucking hospital?” She yelled in my face. She then heard heavy footsteps behind me and when Alpha Kane stood right behind me, she straightened up and backed away from me. “Alpha Kane. What a pleasant surprise.” Mom said. And I looked behind her to see an open Vodka bottle and a bottle of pills sitting next to it. “Having a party?” Alpha Kane asked. “It’s just a little something to take the edge off after a hard day
I went downstairs and I walked around for a little bit before I finally found the kitchen. I had never lived in a house this big before so it was strange walking around the packhouse like this. It was dead quiet and I am sure that I am the only one awake. There weren’t even any omega’s walking around in the kitchen or anything. Which I thought was strange. I thought there would be some here already making breakfast or something like that. I made myself a coffee and I found my way out the back door and I sat on the patio furniture to have my coffee while I was looking around at how quiet it was. Considering how big this pack was, I was expecting to see at least a few people walking around. But there was nothing. It was peaceful and I sat there staring off into the woods. Trying to keep my mind focused on more important things, other than my nightmare. I raised my hand to my face and I felt that there were still marks on my face, so I decided that I wasn’t going to school again to
As I sat on the chair looking from cell to cell, all three prisoners were looking back at me, fear evident on their faces. And as Kane walked down between the cell's behind me, they knew that he wasn't going to be any help to them. He stood back and folded his arms, and let me have my way. "So, your my grandparents and you served your own daughter up to this son of a bitch on a silver platter." I said. "I told you she was evil." Dominic said. And I snapped my fingers at Dominic and forced his voice to disappear, because I wasn't talking to him. I wasn't ready to talk to him. "We needed someone that could control her." "She wasn't out of control. It's not her fault who she fell in love with." I said. "She was having a baby with a vampire." Elijah yelled. "Yeah. And who's fault is that? If you hadn't have had a baby with a faerie then my mother wouldn't have been able to get pregnant to that vampire." I said. And they both looked at each other. "What are you talking about?"
I woke up in our bedroom, a little confused as to what happened and Kane was laying next to me with his arm draped over my waist. "What happened?" I asked, trying to sit up. "Take it easy. You used a lot of energy today." Kane said, stopping me from getting up. I could feel worry in my stomach, but it didn't take me long to realize that it was Kane who was worried. Not me. I was feeling everything that he was feeling. "I'm alright. I really am. I just feel a little weak." I said. "The doctor was here. He said that you were physically fine. But after hearing what you did, he's not surprised that you passed out. Last time you used your powers, it took a lot of energy out of you as well. When you attacked Nicholas." "I didn't pass out that time though." I said. "I know. Because he was a vampire. This time you took on a faerie. It's a little different. You needed to use everything that you had." Kane explained. And I nodded in total agreement. I knew what I was doing while I was doi
As the living room of the packhouse started shaking and the furniture was moving across the floor of the room, I knew it would be so much easier to just simply give in to the anger instead of fighting it. And that was exactly what I wanted to do. In this very second, that's what I wanted to. Until I heard his voice. "Savannah. You need to calm down. Please?" Kane yelled from across the room. I knew that if I lost control now then I would lose everything that I had worked so hard for. My mate, my pack, my new family that I was forming here. And I couldn't do that. I knew that I couldn't do that. I closed my eyes and I took deep breaths, trying to push Millie and Elijah out of my head and I dropped to the ground with my legs crossed and I wrapped my arms around my body. Getting my body as closed in as I possibly could while taking deep breaths and I felt the room slowly stop shaking. But only the room stopped shaking. I didn't. I was shaking after I realized what I was about to
Kane shut the door and we both got dressed pretty quickly and we left the bedroom and we walked towards the staircase but I stopped before we started walking down the stairs. Kane turned to look at me and he asked me if everything was alright? But I just looked at him with worry in my eyes. I only just found out who these people were and now they were in my house. I didn't think that was a coincidence and I didn't know what to do about it. I didn't know what to think about it. I was scared to walk down those stairs because I didn't know what they wanted. I wanted to learn more about them before I met them. I don't know if they are good or bad. I mean, my mother was half faerie, which means one of these two are faerie. That's all I knew about them and I didn't know a think about faerie's. I didn't know if they were good or evil. I wasn't going to let fairytales fool me about real life. Kane held my hand, relaxing me slightly and he gave me a look, to let me know that everything w
When Kane pulled away from me I felt like something was already missing. Like he was too far away, yet he was right in front of me. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him towards me again, bringing his lips down to mine and he smirked against my lips. He wrapped his arms around my back and pulled as close as humanly possible to his body and I couldn't help but let the moan escape my lips as he started moving across the room with me still in his arms. He gently laid me back on the bed and he laid over the top of me, resting his arms on the sides of me while he was still kissing me and I wrapped my arms around his back. He sucked my bottom lip into his mouth, letting out a little growl at the same time. Exploring my body with his hands. Sparks shooting up from everywhere he touched me and I couldn't help the moans escaping my lips at that moment. He slid his hand under my shirt and started running his hand up the side of my body until it got to my breast, where he stopped a
When I woke up one morning I rolled over and saw that Kane was missing. I didn't know where he was and his side of the bed was cold, so I knew that he had been up for ages. I went downstairs and looked around for him but one of the omega's told me that he had already gone out to training for the day. So I made myself a coffee and Landon was sitting at the table working on the computer as he was doing every day. "Have you made any progress?" I asked. "Yeah. I found your real grandparents and where the pack that they are from. They came from a place in Oklahoma. But their parents before that came from somewhere else." He said. "Yeah. You'll probably be tracing dozens of people all around the country to find out where it all started." I said. "Yeah. I believe I will be. It's going to take time, but I'm slowly making some headway." "Finally. Thanks for doing this. Just keep me updated...Hey, have you seen Kane today? Do you know where he is?" I asked. "No. He left pretty ear
We charged at the wolves attacking the bus and Kane claimed that he didn't recognise them or their scent. They weren't from around here. Which made us all question what they were doing here. But we didn't have time to ask that question. I jumped clear across the wolves on the ground and I barreled into the wolves that were on the side of the bus, trying to get their paws in the window to attack the kids. I stood on top of the bus for the kids to see, and they all stopped screaming when they saw me there. I was probably the largest wolf that they had ever seen. But I gave them a softer look than the others and then I heard them on the ground getting ready to attack again. So I lunged off of the bus and I attacked the two wolves that I just knocked off of the bus. "These people are human. We can't kill these wolves because they will turn back into their humans. We can only injure them and make them retreat." Kane ordered through the mind link. If we killed them and they turned bac
I stood at the top of the stairs that led to the basement because I really didn't want to go down there and face Dominic. Kane knew that I didn't want to go down there, and I hesitated for a long time. Long enough for Kane to know that I was there and he came up the stairs to see me. "I know that you don't want to see him. And I am really sorry for this." Kane said, holding my hands. "Can't you just get the names and tell me?" I asked. "He said that he will only tell them to you." Kane said. "Of course he did. Always needs to be in control, that son of a bitch." I said. He had a bad habit of that. He was always pulling the same shit with my mother. If she didn't want to do something, then he would manipulate her and he would do whatever was necessary to get her to do what he wanted. And a lot of the things that she didn't want to do were very well founded. Just like the morning when I found a strange woman walking out of my parents bedroom and my mother walked out afterwards a
Within a flash I saw Kane rush Dominic across the room and slam him up against the wall by his throat. Dominic was trying to breathe and looking around frantically while I just stood there watching Kane crushing his throat. He looked at me with pleading eyes but I just stared at him. "You have a lot of fucking nerve coming to me and asking for refuge." Kane growled in his face. "I didn't know." Dominic choked out. "What didn't you know?" Kane asked, loosening his throat slightly. "I didn't know that she was here." Dominic said. And he let go of Dominic's throat, but kept a tight grip on his clothing. "What the fuck does that matter? You beat your mate and your child." Kane said. "She's not mine." Dominic said with disdain and Kane punched him across the face, causing blood to started dripping from his nose. "Does it really fucking matter? She was a child." "Who is she to you anyway?" Dominic asked. "My fucking mate." Kane glared him in the eyes, and Dominic realized
