Keva-

The test ends, with Ethan leading everyone out. Tobias had been correct, Ethan had an excellent memory and sense of direction. They had moved through the maze without direction when locating the items for everyone, which Ethan had noted each turn.

When they collected the items, they stopped and discussed their exit strategy. As if it were a puzzle he connected each path, and figured out even the areas they hadn’t ventured. Ethan deduced where the exit would likely be and took the lead. He traveled in his wolf form and while many were unsure Ethan was leading them in the right direction, Tobias had followed Ethan with confidence.

The others slowly followed Tobias’s lead, which proved they were already seeing him as their leader. That alone filled me with excitement. I didn’t care that Ethan had been the one to help everyone escape. It was Tobias who had shown the true purpose of the test.

At best Ethan was simply cocky and had a superior complex, which gave me an idea for the nex

    Keva-“What I can’t call my daughter unless there is a problem?” My father sounded offended, but I knew he was teasing me.“Not at all. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” I smiled as I entered my office and shut the door behind me.“Actually, I do have a reason for calling and it is a problem.”“What is it?” I asked as I sat at my desk.“I remembered you telling me that you were going to be doing a leadership test today and would be doing missions.” My father paused and I heard the shuffle of papers in the background. “I have a mission I could use your help with.”“Go on.” I encouraged him as I leaned back in my chair and gave him my full attention.“There is a scientist who is being targeted. His lab exploded a few days ago and he feels like he is being followed. I don’t know how bad his situation is. I planned to send some warriors to him, but I thought it might be better for you guys to deal with it. I mainly need you to contact the scientist, figure out his situation, elim

    Keva-After discussing it with them, they both went quiet until Daxton broke the silence. “I don’t think Lunar Eclipse is related to this. I am not saying we shouldn’t stay vigilant, but this doesn’t sound like their thing.”“I agree with Daxton. I think you might be overthinking this, sis.” Silas added.They could be right, but I wasn’t sure. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was bound to happen. I was tempted to get a professional team together to handle the mission. If Lunar Eclipse was involved, then things wouldn’t just be dangerous, they would be deadly. I wasn’t too worried about their teams, but I had an idiot on my team.“Maybe.” I sighed.“Look, you are under a lot of pressure right now and there are a lot of variables in play. I think that for tonight, you just need to relax and try to clear your mind. Tomorrow we will have a better understanding of what we are dealing with, and we can plan accordingly.” Silas spoke.“We aren’t brushing you off, but we do think th

    Keva-“What?”“When Daxton turned eighteen, he found out that you are his fated mate.”My eyes widened to the point they felt as if they were bulging out of my sockets. “What?”“It’s true.” Jayden nodded. “When he turned eighteen, he felt the bond with you. He tried to deny it at first, due to his history and age difference, but then he stopped fighting against it. He did start avoiding you, but he planned to approach you on your eighteenth birthday. When you ran off, it didn’t just break him, it shattered him. Do you know how painful it is when the one you are fated to, mates with another?”Slowly I shook my head, unable to form any words. I was too stunned and everything he was saying was beyond my current comprehension. I tried to process everything, but it was like my brain had been fried.“Let me put it to you this way…” He took a deep breath and lowered his leg while leaning forward to place his elbows on his knees. “He nearly died. He stopped eating and drinking and started dis

    Keva-Today was the day. I could officially be with my boyfriend, not only as his mate but as the Luna of our Pack, the Stark Growlers. We have kept our relationship a secret for the past two years, but it wasn’t all Ethan’s fault. I had been the one to suggest it.Two and a half years ago, when I met Ethan, he had been an Omega. I saved him from a gang of rogues trying to kill him. I instantly fell in love with him. We weren’t fated mates, but I decided he was the one I wanted to be with.I was only seventeen at the time, so I never knew if I had a fated mate out there, but I didn’t care. I had gone to Stark Growlers to aid the pack under my father's orders. Even at seventeen, I was a skilled warrior. Ultimately, I didn’t keep my appointment because I decided after meeting Ethan I wanted to keep my identity a secret.Not because I didn’t trust him, but because I could see he was prideful. After saving him, he admitted he was weak and shouldn’t have left the pack territory alone. He h

    Keva-“Natalie Black.” Ethan announced with a voice of pride.My head snapped around so fast that it cracked. My body went numb when my eyes landed on another female in the crowd, illuminated by a bright spotlight. I couldn’t say or do anything as I watched the female smile sweetly at everyone as she walked forward.Once the female stood beside Ethan, he wrapped his arm around her, hugging her to his side. Staggering back, I barely managed to keep myself upright. In my wildest dreams, I never expected this.“This is Princess Natalie Black. She has been the one helping me improve the pack. With her and the help of her family, we have even received an invitation to attend a banquet held in my honor. With this banquet, Stark Growlers will be a recognized pack in the community.”My mind stalled as I remembered my brother telling me that my father was planning to hold a ceremony. But why did Ethan think it was because of Natalie? Still unable to move, I stared at the man I had loved and sa

    Keva-When I woke sometime later, I was chained to a wall in a dank basement that smelled of mold. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the dimly lit space. When I could see clearly, Ethan and Natalie stood a few feet away, with Natalie tucked under Ethan’s arm.“Where am I?” I groaned as I pulled at the chains that bound my wrists above my head.“It doesn’t matter where you are.” Natalie snorted. “You won’t survive much longer, so why do you care?”“Why are you doing this?” My eyes went to Ethan.Although he has shown his true colors, a part of me still hoped that there was a part of him that cared. Yet, as I looked into his dark brown eyes, all I saw was disgust. Pain exploded inside my chest as I looked at the man I had loved with all of my heart.“When we first met, I admit I did want to be with you. Not out of love but because you were the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I never loved you. You were nothing more than a trophy I wanted to win or a vase I wanted to collec

    Keva-“No!”A scream echoed in my mind as I suddenly woke up and sat up straight. It took me a moment to realize that I was the one who had screamed, as remnants of my nightmare raced through my mind. Taking in my surroundings, I came to the unsettling realization that it hadn't just been a nightmare; it had been real.“Kev, how are you feeling?” My father's voice was filled with intense emotion and profound sorrow.“Daddy.” I sobbed and launched myself into his arms.His warm embrace filled me with an even deeper sense of regret. Hiding my face in his chest, I let my tears flow freely. It felt as if it had been a lifetime since I was held by someone who truly cared for my well-being.“You’re safe now.” My father’s tone was soft as he rubbed my back like he did when I was a child.My tears slowly dried and I calmed down. After sniffling a few times, I lifted my head and pulled away from him. Using the back of my hand, I wiped away the tear stains on my face. Glancing around the hospit

    Daxton-“How about we leave you to get some rest? Carter and I will head home with Dad, to set up things. The doctor said you would need to stay here for a couple of days.” Silas’s gaze moved from Keva to me. “How about you stay with her for now?”“Sure.” I hoped that Keva didn’t notice anything in my voice.“I will be fine on my own.” Keva argued.“Nonsense.” The Alpha King, Charles, shook his head and patted Keva on the head. “After what they did to you, I will not allow you to be alone until you return home. I will feel better knowing someone is here to protect you. I don’t know what you have been through these past two years, but your body and wolf are weak.”I tried not to seem obvious that I wanted Keva to agree to let me stay. Since the moment she woke up, I have done my best to seem indifferent. I don’t know what she went through with Ethan, but I could tell by the condition she was in when I found her, that it was bad.If I had known that she would meet someone like Ethan, I n

    Keva-With a sigh, I settled into a chair in the control room we set up. The loyalty test was officially over and had lasted a little longer than I planned. Technically the test only took three days, but we had to wait an additional two days because one member had been injured.Everyone in charge of the testing was assigned three members, although Jayden only had two. We had a few members fail, but everyone in Daxton’s, Jayden’s, Carter’s, and my group passed. One member Silas had tested failed, but it wasn’t a member who failed is why we had to wait two more days before beginning the next test.No, Daxton decided to take things a little too far with one of his testers. The person passed, but he had caused him to be injured by torturing him after an arranged kidnapping. Up until that point I had avoided Daxton, but then I was forced to deal with him.I hadn’t been mad at Daxton due to what happened between us, but I was struggling to wrap my mind around it. After his latest stunt, how

    Daxton-After getting dressed, I attempted to stay with Keva to calm her down, but she uncovered herself and threw a pillow at me. Thinking it was better to retreat than make her even more mad, I left the room. Once I was in the hall, I was startled when I noticed Silas leaning against the wall with his arms folded over his chest.“While I am glad you and her finally got together, it isn’t going to be that simple.” Silas smirked.I didn’t need to ask what he meant. I knew exactly what happened. I shouldn’t have let things get as far as they had, but something came over me and I couldn’t hold myself back. Originally, I just planned to tease her so she would let down her guard a little more.When I caught the familiar scent of a blood pill, I took advantage of the situation. I knew she had been intoxicated by vampire blood, which was as effective as a sexual arousal drug. Because of that, I hadn’t marked her, but I had desperately wanted to.I had asked her if she was sure and if she wo

    Keva-“What are you doing?” I gasped as I took a step back from Daxton.“That is my question. What are you doing?” Daxton’s voice was low and slightly husky as he kept moving toward me with each step I took away from him.“I…” My mind was blank and I couldn’t think of a reasonable excuse.“This time you provoked me.” Daxton quickly closed the distance between us, wrapping one arm around me, while grabbing me behind the neck and pulling me toward him. “Don’t think you can run little wolf.”As his lips crashed against mine, I only had one thought running through my mind. I no longer wanted to run from him. I could deny it all I wanted, but the truth was, his touch, his taste, and his scent, made me crave him in ways I never thought possible.Now that I wasn’t holding back, it was like the floodgates of hell opened up. My hands swiftly moved to his shoulders and I gripped them tightly as I pulled myself closer to him. It felt as if my body was coming alive, even if I didn’t quite underst

    Keva-As if we had been caught doing something we shouldn’t have, Silas froze, with one foot on the first step and I tensed. Tobias didn’t seem surprised to see Silas carrying me on his back. He also didn’t say or do anything until after Silas regained his composure and continued walking up the few steps to the porch.“Put me down.” I whispered in Silas’s ear.Silas didn’t protest as he put me down, but I could sense that he was on edge as he placed himself between me and Tobias. “What are you doing here?” He asked Tobias.I was about to tell Silas he didn’t speak, but to my surprise, Tobias answered. “Two reasons.” Tobias pulled a hand from his pocket and extended his arm toward me, with a pill bottle in his hand. “To give you this and to speak to you.”“I thought you didn’t talk?” I lifted my brows and looked at the item in his hand, unsure if I should take it.“I do, but I don’t speak unless I have a reason to.” Tobias shrugged.“Makes sense.” I said as I accepted the pill bottle.

    Keva-“Their conditioning is weak. At this rate, I doubt a single member will make it through.” Silas sighed as he stood next to me and watched pack members struggle to keep standing.It has been thirty hours since the end of the first test. The following test was to test their endurance. I only planned to have them endure for twenty-four hours, but Silas convinced me to do it for three days. As for the test, it was nothing more than standing on the field without sleep, food, or water.It might seem harsh, but even if a member isn’t a warrior if war breaks out, this would be common amongst our kind. We would be unable to get food or water, and sleeping could cost us our lives. Technically warriors are trained to be able to endure days of not sleeping, eating, or drinking, but that just proved that the standards of this pack, prior to me becoming leader, were severely lacking.“Don’t you think we are being a little too cruel?” I asked as I watched two members collapse and be carried of
