Izariah-Looking at the keys still in my hand, I felt weird about accepting such a big gift, but I also felt weird about not accepting it. It was clear that it meant a lot to him if I did accept it, I could see the hope in his eyes. But how could I accept it? I didn’t know the first thing about driving it.“I am not asking for anything in return. Think of this as a gift to a new beginning for us. I would like to put the past conflicts, in the past.” Braxton spoke.When he put it that way, I couldn’t refuse, even if I knew that it would be better if I did. Moving my gaze from the keys, I looked up at him and I was torn by the look he was giving me. It looked as if he were worried that I would reject him.“I don’t know how to drive a standard.” I sighed as I wrapped my fingers around the keys, accepting his gift.“That is easy.” His smile alone made me realize that I made the right choice.Before I could ask what he meant, he reached over to grab my hand. He took the keys from me but co

Izariah-I regretted my decision the next morning when I was woken up by the sound of pounding on my door. It wasn’t that Braxton woke me up like that, no it was the group of strangers that barged into my dorm room behind him. A tall older woman and a group of both men and women herded me to my computer chair and then forced me to sit down.“What is going on?” I asked, looking past the people around me, at Braxton who was standing idle next to my bed.“I thought I mentioned that my party is tonight?”“Uh, no. No, you did not.” I blanched at him, and my jaw went slack as I stared at him.He expected me to change, or whatever he wanted me to do, in less than a day. I couldn’t even mentally prepare myself. I started to panic as if the walls were closing in on me. In a way, they kind of were as everyone that was surrounding me was gathering around me, not giving me any space.They stood shoulder to shoulder, leaning forward as they examined me and touched my face, hair, hands, and feet.

Izariah-Right off the bat and I could hear the condescension in his mother’s voice. My nervousness vanished at seeing and hearing his mother. I was reminded of the dream I saw, and I was filled with resentment for how she treated a child.“I am not even five minutes late mother, just let it go.” Braxton stated as he continued forward, in her direction.“You were supposed to be here before all the guests arrived. Do you know how embarrassing it is to have others wanting to wish you a happy birthday, but I had to explain that you weren’t here? The looks they gave me were full of pity.”“Relax, I doubt they were pitying you. Now, I would like you to meet…” Braxton’s words were cut off when his mother spoke again.“Don’t tell me what they were or weren’t doing. You wouldn’t know since you weren’t here. Just be glad the Alpha King hasn’t arrived yet or his daughter or I would have made sure you regretted this day. Now get inside and stop making me look like a fool.” His mother said just b

Braxton-I was starting to think this hadn’t been a clever idea at all. I knew my mother and if she wanted to make Izariah’s life a living hell, she would do so without barely lifting a finger. I debated on stepping between my mother and girlfriend, but I feared that if I did, it would only create a bigger issue.“Mother.” I whispered, hoping to draw her attention away from Izariah.To my relief, she did step away from Izariah and a smile spread across her face. I let out a long breath and I realized that I had stopped breathing when my mother stepped in front of Izariah. Now that Izariah wasn’t being accosted by my mother, I felt like I could relax.“Now that my son has introduced his girlfriend to us, it would be fitting to have her perform something special for all of us, for his birthday.” My mother spoke to the crowd.I paled at her suggestion, being that I hadn’t prepared Izariah for this. Looking over at Izariah, I expected her to look panicked, yet she looked as cool as a cucu

Izariah-When the dance was over, I smiled at Jace and took a step back. Lowering myself slightly, I curtsied before facing Braxton’s mother. It didn’t take a genius to know that she was trying to do something to make me feel or look inadequate.It didn’t matter to me either way. I might not have had the same education as her son or his friends, but that didn’t mean I didn’t know a thing or two about proper etiquette. My upbringing wasn’t as extravagant but my mother had always tried to get me the same kind of things that other kids had, like dancing, playing music, proper education and so much more.“I see that you are exceptionally talented. I admit that I am impressed. As much as I wish to see what else you can do, I suppose we should get back to the party.” Braxton’s mother said with her fake smile."But can she paint or draw?” A random voice said from the crowd.It was obvious that it wasn’t just Braxton’s mother that was trying to test me. For a split second, I thought I was in

Izariah-“Come on, pick up.” I whispered as I tried to call Braxton again.This was the twentieth time I tried calling Braxton or one of his friends. No one was answering their phones or the text messages I sent to each of them. I was beginning to think that I was being stood up, only because the whispers around the restaurant were getting to me.“Poor dear, it seems as if she is all alone.” One older couple had stated.“Who wears clothes like that to such an elegant restaurant? If I were her date and I walked in to find her dressed like that, I would turn around and walk out.” A female, who was on a date with a man had said.“If she isn’t going to eat, she should leave so others can have her table. It is a shame that she is sitting at the best table and is sitting there by herself, just ordering water.” Someone else said.It was the last statement that I decided I couldn’t stay here and wait. It wasn’t until I was standing outside, waiting for my car, that I let the idea of being sto

Izariah-“While they are working on what they are doing, I am going to explain how you can still fight against a werewolf, without a wolf. It isn’t like you are entirely without a wolf, you just can’t access it. If you were completely human, then what I am about to tell you wouldn’t work.” Lex motioned for me to follow him.“I doubt I would do better than a human.” I grumbled, but I followed him anyway.“Don’t think like that. You are much stronger than you realize. Have you forgotten you attacked Braxton? Not only did you surprise us all, but you did injure him. If you were human, you wouldn’t have the strength to so much as bruise us, let alone draw blood as you did.” Lex guided me to the back of the building, through a door that I hadn’t noticed until he opened it.He let me enter first and my eyes nearly popped out when I saw the contents of the room. It was a large gym, with mats covering the center of the room. It had to be at least the size of a football field or at least half

Jace-“Ugh.” I groaned as I leaned back in my chair.I was sitting at my desk, trying to find a way to get access to a lot of wolfsbane. I have tried everything I could think of, including the back market. I hated the idea of Izariah even risking anything like this, but we needed to get Braxton out before he gets killed.“Anything yet?” Sebastian asked, from where he was sitting at his desk.“Nothing and I am wondering if it’s because Brax’s mom got it all. The only other way I can get some is to contact a werewolf hunter, but that isn’t an option.” Looking at the screen on my computer, I watched as it timed out and the screensaver came on.“I haven’t found anything either. We might need to come up with a different solution. I would hate to expose Izariah to the wolfsbane without knowing how she is going to react to it. This isn’t a good situation, and I am at a loss of what to do.” Sebastian sighed.“What if we take her down and sneak as close as we can just to see what would happen?

Three Years Later Izariah- “Will you hurry up already? You don’t want to be late to your own graduation!” Rachel, my new best friend and Jace’s mate yelled from the front door of the house that I lived in with Braxton. After we officially moved to the pack, we stayed in the packhouse with his father for a bit. On the day of Braxton’s graduation, which had been two years ago, he surprised me with the keys to our own house. He explained that he hadn’t wanted to live with his father or in a house that had too many bad memories. “I am coming!” I yelled from the bathroom, where I was putting the finishing touches on my hair. As I inspected my reflection, I was reminded of the first day that I met Braxton. That morning I had been running late to class and my old friend and roommate had yelled at me to hurry. I had just barely made it in time to take my finals that day. I guess no matter how many things have changed from then until now, there were still some things that were never goin

Braxton- When we arrived at the lake, where her childhood best friend died, I wasn’t sure what I could do for her. I could sense she was hurting inside, as she experienced being back here. We were all standing in a group, near the lake, no one saying a word. When she started walking forward, I decided that this was something she was going to need to face on her own. Putting my arms out, I stopped the others from following her. If she looked back then I would join her, but her gaze remained on the center of the lake. “Just wait. If she needs us then we will be there for her, but I think the best thing for her is to support her from back here.” I explained. “Do you think that it will work? What if she is never able to shift?” Jace asked. “Then I will make sure I am always by her side to protect her.” I said with certainty. “Even without a wolf, I believe she is stronger than any of us realize.” Sebastian spoke in a faraway tone that made me glance at him. His eyes were focused on

Izariah- Taking a deep breath, I gathered my courage as I opened the car door. I barely had time to close the door before I rushed by Gwenna. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly. “I knew the moment I met you that we had a connection. I never would have suspected it is because you are my sister!” She exclaimed, speaking a little too loud in my ear for my liking. I was a little confused about how she already knew that I was her sister when I hadn’t spoken a word yet. Since I had been looking forward to this moment as well, I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her just as tight. Between her and the Alpha King, she was the one that I had been the most nervous about seeing. Meeting my biological father was scary, but it wasn’t like I needed a new father, as I already had one that I absolutely adored. Having a sister, on the other hand, was something I have always dreamed of. Seeing that she was just as thrilled with the idea, I relaxed. Not wanting to break the mom

Izariah- “Chill out, I am Millie’s boyfriend.” The man spoke in a tone that indicated that he didn’t care who I was or why I was here. “Don’t lie to me. Tell me who you are, now!” I demanded. With everything that was going on, he was the least of my problems. I have already dealt with enough, so I didn’t have time to deal with a little punk too. He was probably a few years older than me, and I could sense he was an Alpha, which didn’t explain why he was in my room. “I am not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself. She just left to get some ice cream, but she should be back any minute.” He said with a yawn as he leaned back and went back to playing a game on his phone like he had been doing when I entered. Not sure what to do at this moment, I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. He seemed harmless, but I still didn’t believe him. I knew Millie had a crush on Sebastian, so why was this dude claiming to be her boyfriend? Just then Sebastian barged into t

Izariah- The moment we drove through the gate that surrounded the territory; I was completely speechless. Eric, who had been driving the car, had to slow down to a crawl, as members of the pack surrounded us. It took me a moment to understand that they were all celebrating. “What is going on?” I asked, not sure what the reason was for all of this. “Two things. They are welcoming their future Luna and celebrating that their old Luna is no longer here.” Braxton answered. “Do they know it is me?” I asked. I didn’t need to ask why they were celebrating Tabitha being gone, as I am sure many hadn’t liked her. There were only a select few that knew what I was though. As far as everyone else was concerned, I was still a wolfless Omega that worked with the pack doctor. Granted, no one at the pack had cared or treated me terribly over it. There had been one group of teenage girls that had made a comment about it, but it hadn’t escalated. Braxton had been with me when I heard it and he had

Izariah- “I will grant you something, but it won’t be to find another mate. If I have learned anything, is that I don’t make mistakes twice. You have shown me that you are undeserving of love, for you don’t know the meaning of love.” As my mother speaks, she walks closer to Tabitha. “I did love them!” Tabitha yells, but my mother is unfazed by her outburst. “The fact that you think that is love, shows me that I can’t allow you to love another soul. It would be wrong of me to torment anyone with the kind of love that you have to offer. No. Instead of that, I will give you something else.” My mother places her fingers against her chin and taps them a few times, appearing to be deep in thought. “What are you going to do? I promise I won’t cause anyone any more trouble if you just let me go.” By now Tabitha looked truly scared. “And what? Allow you to roam free and give you the chance to not repent for your actions? Even if I allow you to go free, you still won’t learn anything.” She

Braxton- Seeing my father enter the room, I was a little confused about why he was here. My eyes moved to Izariah, who didn’t seem surprised at all. Moving my attention back to him, I hoped that he was here to help and not to make things worse. “My love, what are you doing here?” My mother asked innocently. “Save it. I heard everything just now.” My father growled as he stomped toward her. “You don’t understand, it isn’t like that.” The panic in my mother’s voice revealed that if there was one person in this world, she both loved and feared, it was my father. My earlier assumption that she was in control of their relationship was wrong. Now that I thought about it, it had simply been my father giving in to my mother because of his love for her. I completely understood because I would do the same for Iza. Not that I would have to worry about that, because I doubted there was a single bad cell in her body. It was also apparent that my father hadn’t known about the things my mother

Izariah- “I was wrong, I won’t do it again. Please give me another chance. If I had known she was the daughter of the Moon Goddess, I wouldn’t have tried to break them up.” Braxton’s mother pleaded with my mother. “Do you honestly believe that I care? It shouldn’t matter who someone is. All that matters is that they love each other. I chose your son for my daughter, not because of who his family is or how much money he came from. I did it because I knew they would be good for each other. If we only based someone’s standing on if they were good enough, then do you think I would allow my daughter to be with someone when his mother is so awful? Despite your beliefs, I don’t think someone’s past will define who they are.” “Then you can understand that I was only doing what I thought was best for my son. I love him and I want him to succeed in life.” Luna Tabitha seemed to have given up pleading with the Moon Goddess, as she met her gaze with unwavering certainty. “Best for him?” My bi

Izariah- Unfiltered strength flowed through me, not only mine but Braxton’s as well. Had I known that having Braxton mark me would awaken my wolf, I would have let him do it sooner. Not only had I unlocked my Goddess abilities, but I have a wolf. I still had a bit to go before I could fully be who I was meant to be, but right now none of that mattered. I would figure it out in time and once I could let go of my fear of water, I knew I would be able to shift into my wolf. My birth mother had been right, but now I knew it. Full of confidence and brimming with untapped power, I held Braxton’s hand in mine as I stepped around him. The look of shock and then anger that passed over his mother’s face was everything I had hoped for and more. When she came in and assumed that he had marked Gwenna, I couldn’t wait to prove her wrong. No longer did I fear her. Compared to me, she was nothing more than a power-hungry werewolf that couldn’t hurt me or Braxton any longer. Her threats were meani
