“I know it seems too quick, but, honey, I love him.”
“But getting married in two weeks?” She hadn’t even met her mother’s boyfriend and now she was getting married! Jane could hardly believe her ears but she wanted her mother to be happy. Her own happiness didn’t matter that much to her.
Her parents had gotten divorced two years ago and Jane had seen her mother cry and mourn like he had died. But he was still alive and less involved in Jane’s life than she would’ve liked.
“Oh sweetie, you’ll love it. He’s the Alpha of his pack and his territory borders on a national forest. They have a great high school in the town where you can finish your senior year.”
Jane regarded her mother. She was a sweet, loving and warm woman. She looked so happy that Jane couldn’t find it in herself to bratty about this move. Marrying an Alpha was a big deal and Sarah’s eyes twinkled when she talked about Kyle, her future husband.
Moving to a new pack meant that she had to leave her current school. Jane smiled because she really had no attachments to her current pack or school. She had no friends anymore and nobody to say goodbye to.
She used to live a peaceful school life until those demon twins ruined it for her. For some reason they found immense pleasure in bullying her every day.
Jane shook her head. No, not for some reason. She knew exactly why they picked on her, but it had been an accident, one she wished she’d never had the unfortunate luck of making.
The two brothers had transferred to her school in the middle of last year. At first Jane was as smitten as every other girl in school. They reminded her of Greek gods with their jet black hair and strikingly clear sea green eyes. They were hot, but the problem was that they knew it.
She had gotten a hall pass right before lunch and hurried to the bathroom as stomach cramps threatened to split her in half. She had pushed open the first stall door in the bathroom and her mouth had gaped open as one of the brothers held Britney against the stall wall, clearly in the middle of sex.
After that she was persona non grata, a nobody, and the few friends she’d had suddenly wanted nothing more to do with her. She was accused of trying to seduce them, which was an utter lie, but that had ended her friendships with everyone.
The pranks started then, the bullying, the bumping in the hallways. They pretended like she didn’t exist and one time a football player actually sat down on her lap, claiming that he hadn’t seen her sitting at the table in the cafeteria.
Jane never told her mother about the bullies. Divorce had brought on so much pain that she hadn’t want to add to her mother’s worries. The nightmare lasted less than two semesters and finally ended when the twins left the pack.
Of course, the girls in school went into mourning, which Jane thought was really ridiculous, but she couldn’t help but be relieved. She shook her head again slightly as she looked at her mother and made a decision.
“I guess a fresh start isn’t so bad.”
Sarah beamed with happiness as she hugged her daughter, talking rapidly about starting to pack and how great their new lives would be in Los Avalos with the Midnight Pack. Jane listened with half an ear as she thought about their new adventure.
One week later Jane stood in the driveway of one of the largest houses she’d ever seen. Even the Alpha in her old pack didn’t live in a house as lavish as this one. Her mother, Sarah, looked at Jane with anxious eyes, wanting her approval.
“Wow.”
“I know, right! You’ll love Kyle! He’s simply the best!”
A man with dark brown hair, broad shoulders and an easy smile opened the front door and hurried down the steps. Sarah’s handbag fell to the ground as the man caught her in a hug and they kissed intensely for a few seconds. Jane cleared her throat as the man broke the kiss off and finally seemed to notice her.
“Ah, you must be Jane! Welcome to Los Avalos and the Midnight Pack. I’m Kyle, the Alpha here.”
Jane bowed her head. “Hello Alpha Kyle.”
Kyle laughed and took her hand. “Call me Kyle please, we’re almost family after all.”
A few maids appeared and took their luggage as Kyle placed an arm around her shoulder and took Sarah’s hand, leading them into the grand house.
Through the double doors, Jane felt like she’d been punched in the stomach. She couldn’t believe her rotten luck. It felt like the air had been sucked from her lungs and for a fleeting moment she thought she was hallucinating.
On the foyer wall were large canvas pictures of none other than Jane’s bullies – Reid and Ryan Heiden. Why were their pictures in her new stepfather’s house? It was a sick joke, right? She was imagining it. But no, the twin demons smiled down at her and for a few seconds she struggled to catch her breath.
“Ah, my sons. You will meet each other later,” Kyle said and Jane was shocked.
Why hadn’t her mother told her that she would have two stepbrothers? Worse than having instant siblings was the fact that they were her bullies! They’d never gotten along even if she’d drooled over them in the beginning.
“Your room’s on the second floor along with Kyle’s boys.”
“What?” She caught her mother’s stern look. “I mean, excuse me?”
“Come on.” Kyle smiled as Sarah took Jane’s hand and led her upstairs to her new bedroom.
Jane stopped short in the bedroom. It was easily three times the size of her old bedroom. There was a large canopy bed with a flatscreen television mounted to the wall. The walls were painted a light green colour with a comforter set a shade darker than the walls. She had a vanity, a desk and she noticed two other doors.
“You have your own bathroom and a dressing room!”
Jane looked at her mother. Her excitement knew no bounds and Jane smiled as she realized that her mother really was happy.
Jane steeled her resolve because she only had to survive for one year, right? One year of living in the same house as the demon twins. She could do it. She would do it! In one year she’d go to college and be free.
She smiled when she saw her luggage and a few of her boxes already in the room. She needed to unpack but she was dazzle by the room and its size. Large French doors led to a private balcony and she couldn’t wait to explore it later.
“Do you like it?”
Jane turned towards her mother and smiled. “I love it.”
“Fantastic! Kyle said you can redecorate however you want it.”
Despite the fact that she loved her room, it would’ve been perfect if the demon twins didn’t have their room across from hers. Jane looked at the closed door across from her open one. Werewolves were strong, the strongest species in fact and if they wanted to, they could break into her room easily enough.
Another lock on her door would help her anxiety and she could sleep more peacefully at night before her big escape in one year. Yes, that’s what she’d do. She’d add another lock on the door and have some inner peace amidst the turmoil.
“Thanks, actually I’d like to add another lock to the door and then we probably have to talk about …”
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation as Kyle appeared in the doorway. “Sorry to intrude. If you don’t like the colours, you can change it. You can change anything you don’t like. Sarah said you liked green, but … it’s too much, isn’t it?”
Jane smiled, genuinely touched by this big Alpha’s flustering words. “It’s perfect, thank you Kyle.”
“The twins are right across from you and we’re on the third floor. Please make yourself at home, Jane.”
‘Great, just great,’ Jane thought to herself as her mother and Kyle stared into each other’s eyes.
“Dinner’s in ten minutes if you want to freshen up quickly.”
Jane nodded her head as they left her room and she closed the door behind them and leaned against it. She really hoped that the twins would leave her alone. She had no intention to be their victim again this year.
She was ordinary looking, with chestnut brown hair and large green eyes that she mainly hid behind her glasses. She didn’t really like contact lenses and she preferred to dress for comfort rather than style. She didn’t show cleavage or skin like the twin’s girlfriends did.
Her lack of fashion sense and her glasses had earned her the nickname of ‘nerd’. She tried to keep to herself and rarely bothered anyone. She sighed as she realized she couldn’t hide in her room forever and if she was totally honest, she was starving.
She descended the stairs and followed the smell of food to the dining room. Kyle sat at the round table and there was one empty chair, right in between the twins. She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart and sat down as each twin stared at her.
“Jane, this is Reid and Ryan, my sons. Boys, this is Jane. I hope you’ll all get along.” Kyle smiled as he looked at each of them in turn.
They were dressed in dark wash denims with tight black t-shirts stretching across their shoulders. She wished they weren’t so good-looking. She felt ordinary and plain in comparison to their god-like physiques.
“It just occurred to me that the twins lived in Brackwater Pack with their mother for a while. Do you all know each other?” Kyle looked expectantly at them.
The twins didn’t look up as their father spoke and Jane caught his gaze.
“No.” Her hurried lie had the twins smirking but Kyle was already glancing at Sarah with loving eyes as he took her hand.
She looked down hurriedly as both twins looked at her and she could feel her cheeks redden with embarrassment. They ate in relative silence as Kyle and Sarah talked in low voices. Every now and then one of the twins would brush against her arm or leg and she wished she could escape.
Jane took a bite of her spaghetti and resisted the urge to moan as the basil and tomato blended together perfectly. She opened her eyes to find Kyle watching her with a smile. “Sarah told me you like spaghetti so I had the chef prepare this as a welcome dinner for you.”
“It’s the best spaghetti I’ve ever had.” Kyle smiled broadly as everyone ate in silence and Jane averted her gaze from the twins.
“How about we all go for a walk after dinner? I’d love to show you both some of our territory.” Kyle’s sincerity was obvious and Jane thought to herself that she could really like the man despite his two evil demon spawns.
“It’s been a really long day and I still have to unpack my clothes. Maybe another time?”
Kyle nodded his head. “Of course. I didn’t think how tired you must be.”
“Are you alright honey?” Sarah asked.
“Absolutely Mom. Have fun on your walk. I’m going to have a shower and get into bed. I don’t want to be late for my first day at school.”
“Oh that reminds me. Reid and Ryan can take you to school tomorrow and show you around.”
Jane glanced at Reid. He didn’t look too pleased with being tasked to drive her to school. ‘Me neither,’ Jane thought. She could only nod her head since she hadn’t had time to finish her talk with her mother, not about the evil twins or the extra door lock.
Jane hurried up the stairs as her mother and Kyle headed towards the front door with the twins. Back in her room she locked the door behind her and leaned her head against the door. How the hell was she supposed to live in this house with them for a whole year?
She realized with a start that her cellphone was still on the dining room table and she quickly unlocked the door and pulled it open, only to find Reid and Ryan leaning against the wall in front of her door, looking intently at her.
The front door to the football house opened and Jane looked at Cliff. His eyes widened slightly when he saw her and she felt relief that it was someone she knew. Her heart was pounding and her blood was pumping through her veins. She only knew that she had to find them.“Are you okay?”“Is Ryan here? Or Reid?”Cliff frowned as he took a step toward her. “No, they moved out this morning. They live off campus now. They didn’t tell you?”Jane felt her heart sink. Why would they move off campus? It dawned on her suddenly. They’d done it for her. Ryan had told her that they were a package deal. All three of them. They’d moved so they could be together, all three of them.“I don’t have time to explain now but I really need to find them, it’s life or death,” Jane said. Cliff must’ve seen something in her eyes because he nodded his head.“They got a house over on Blakeley Road. It’s the last one in the cul-de-sac. It has a red door with the forest behind it.”Jane grinned then. “Thank you, Cl
Her dorm room was empty and it was nearing five am. Jane let out a breath of relief. Nobody would know she hadn’t been here the whole night. She lowered her head in shame as she thought back to the previous night.Would they tell people what had happened between them? She felt like a notch on their bedpost. She tried to remember what Ryan had said, she hadn’t been concentrating, she’d heard his voice but not the actual words.For all she knew he could’ve been telling her to smile for the camera. She shivered, goddess, she hoped there wasn’t a camera. She could still smell their scents on her as she lay back on her bed and closed her eyes.She sat upright again as her phone started ringing and she frowned at the private number that was displayed on her phone’s screen. “Hello?”“Did you really run away from us?” Ryan asked her.“Look … I’m not sure what happened last night … I know what happened last night but it shouldn’t have. I don’t know what I was thinking and …”“What are you talk
Jane closed her notebook and placed it back into her bag. So far college had been a blast. Summer had passed painfully slow and she hadn’t seen Reid or Ryan again since the night of prom. Ryan had left sometime during the night because she’d woken up alone the next morning.She’d spent her summer holidays with her father and his wife. Reid and Ryan had spent it at some Alpha camp and she’d gone back to Midnight Pack a week before she had to leave for college. She had a dorm room and she spent most of her time in the library.She didn’t see her roommate often and some nights she’d fallen asleep on the couch in the library when the tie was around their doorhandle, which meant her roommate, Shelley, had company. It was the only part of college she hated thus far.She’d made a few friends and she’d actually been invited to a party. It was a football party but still, it was a party. She was excited and care-free and she loved her life at Camden. There weren’t any bullies like in high schoo
Jane looked at herself in the mirror. The silver dress she’d chosen fit her perfectly, showed off the curve of her hip and the back was so low that she’d actually debated buying it. It swept the floor and her silver heels sparkled in the light.She’d swept her hair up with silver pins, leaving her neck bare, except for the diamond necklace Kyle had given her for her birthday. She matched it with the earrings she’d received from the twins and her make-up was subtle, except for the bright red lipstick.She had five minutes before Kenneth was due to pick her up and she grabbed her small clutch and ventured out of her bedroom door. She felt beautiful, knew that she looked beautiful too but she was waiting for her mother’s reaction before letting happiness completely fill her.She took a deep breath when she reached the staircase and four pairs of eyes latched onto her. Her mother gasped and Kyle’s eyes narrowed just like she knew her father’s would have. Reid and Ryan stood watching her,
This time when she walked back into the meeting room, she walked in with Ryan and Reid next to her. They all went to their respective seats. Ryan hadn’t wanted to tell her what the Council had said to them about their part in everything and now she was more worried than ever.She took a deep breath and sat down, her heart beating erratically, her blood rushing through her veins and the sound of it drowning out everything else around her. She looked up as everything quieted down and the three Council members walked in and sat down in front of her.“Welcome back, everyone. We’ll start with Clarissa and Roxanne,” the first man said again.Clarissa and Roxanne both stood up behind their table and Clarissa sent Jane a scalding look. It spoke of contempt, malice and she seemed to enjoy the predicament Jane currently found herself in. Jane looked down, not wanting to look at her any more.“Your current status of omega will remain in place for six months after which your previous status’s wil
Jane woke up to a cold and empty bed. The bite marks on her shoulders had healed and she could feel them pulse inside her. She closed her eyes and focused on Ryan and smiled. She could sense him, his emotions were stable and she turned her thoughts to Reid. He was happy and that made her smile more.Jane showered and got dressed, ready for a new day. She hadn’t been to school in more than a week and she really didn’t feel like going back but the knock on her door told her that Joseph was probably ready to leave.“Morning,” she said with a fake smile and Joseph grinned at her when she opened the bedroom door.“We’re not going to school today,” he said as he leaned against the doorway.“Why not?”“Alpha Kyle has called for a meeting,” Joseph said.Jane straightened up and looked at him with a serious expression on her face. “Do you know what it’s about?”Joseph snorted and furrowed his brows. “Really? Did you really just ask me that?”“Oh, come on. You know everything that goes on aroun
Jane looked at the faces around the dinner table. Her mother, Sarah, was holding Kyle’s hand. She wondered what Kyle had told her about Callan, but whatever it was, she was supporting him now as he faced his sons.Neither Reid nor Ryan were happy sitting there. Ryan was still pissed off and Reid wanted answers. Jane knew that any discussions they would have that night would probably end up in a fight and she wasn’t looking forward to it.“You kept this from us for eighteen years,” Ryan spoke first.“With good reason,” Kyle said and Jane turned her head as the door to the dining room was opened.“He’s here, Alpha.” Kyle nodded his head and stood up from his chair.Callan walked into the dining room and Ryan’s jaw was clenched tightly together. Callan smiled when he saw Jane and she gave him a small smile. “My men have orders to burn your pack to the ground should I not return alive.”Ryan was in Callan’s face in seconds and he slammed him against the wall. “If and when you die, it will
Jane sat in the backseat of a large SUV with two men on either side of her. She’d gone with them willingly, not wanting anything to happen to Joseph or Travis. She knew they’d follow her and probably raise the entire Midnight Pack army to follow as well.“Where are we going?”“We’re taking you to speak with our leader, Alpha Callan.”Jane didn’t recognize the name but her heart rate increased when she realized they were driving towards the Moonstone Pack territory. She had no idea what had happened to the people of that pack, hadn’t even thought to ask since their Alpha was incarcerated.Warriors were posted throughout the territory and the SUV parked in front of their pack hall. It was a large building, not as large as theirs but still impressive. Their territory didn’t look like it had been attacked and Jane had to wonder what exactly was going on here.She was led out of the SUV and into the pack hall. It was deathly quiet and warriors stood on either side as her footsteps echoed i
Ryan led her into Reid’s old bedroom, right across from where Rein lay sleeping. Reid closed the door behind him and Jane looked around. She’d never actually been in Reid’s bedroom before and his scent overwhelmed her senses.“Why did you do that?” Reid’s intense stare was fixed on her and Jane didn’t really know how to answer him. She had mixed feelings about everything, Rein included.“The omegas are busy and she needed a bath,” Jane said. Reid shook his head but the smile on his face resonated sadness and Jane wished she knew what was going through his mind. She hated feeling like this, so unsure of herself, so insecure about her own future.“What did you want to talk about?” Jane looked at Ryan first and then back at Reid as she asked that question. She wasn’t sure she was ready to talk about everything.“Britney’s death has left Reid free to ascend with me,” Ryan began. She couldn’t decipher the look in his eyes.“I’m sure you’re both glad about that.” Jane felt uncomfortable. T
