Juliette Kerson does not want to fall for the Alpha Kings scheme of luring in Wolves, forcing them to compete for a place in his pack by attending the Thirty Day Trial. She wants freedom, not discipline. But this year, she is nominated to compete, and she is no loser. Free spirited, Juliette catches the young Alpha's eye. But she also is the product of an unspeakable species called Skinwalkers. She's different, but keeping that from an interested Alpha proves harder then it seems, especially with Ace, the deadly Skinwalker with a secret lurking around.
View MoreHe looked deep into her deep green eyes, lightly touching her hair with his calloused fingers.
"I love you," he breathed, bending down. I gasped, knowing his intentions.
"Juliette!"
Juliette lifted her head from her book, her mothers demanding voice startling her.
Her mother usually knows not to disturb her while she's reading.
Setting down the thick love novel Juliette had been so wrapped up in on her desk, she fixed her clothes, and walked out of her bedroom.
Her house is a blanket of warmth she noticed, as she walked down the stairs of her small house.
Being a rouge isn't glamorous; they are treated like dirt, and hated among the pack community.
Juliette walked down the hallway, stopping at the lounge room for which she knew her mother would be in.
She was apprehensive at first, worried that she was in the wrong because she does tend to find trouble easily.
She walked into the cozy lounge, a foreign person sitting on the couch, sipping tea from one of mothers posh cups.
She seemed around early 50's, with light grey hair and wrinkled cheeks.
She had a bright smile, and blue eyes that were barely viewable behind her thick glasses.
She wore a pristine white coat, and polished black shoes
One of her shriveled hands was holding a small metal cart, that had what looked like a safe upon it.
She looked straight up like a nurse, leaving Juliette wanting to trace her steps back up to her bedroom, where her favorite book and bed was.
The old lady and Juliette's mother Karen stood, Karen looking like she just won the lottery.
"Juliette Kerson, my name is Linda and I'm here to inform you about what will happen in the next two months."
Linda's voice was strangely deep for a woman, but calming all the same, as she stuck her pale hand out.
Confused, and equally nervous, Juliette shook her delicate hand.
"I'm sorry, but can you please explain," Juliette asked, glancing at Karen, who was beaming widely, her cheeks bright pink and red.
"Congratulations, you have been chosen for the 30 day pack trial!" she yelped like it was the best thing in the world, while Juliette's heart sank, and her stomach turned over.
"I-i don't understand," she stuttered, looking at her mother then back at Linda.
Juliette doesn't want to be in the 30 day trail, let alone in the nightmare pack.
Every year 100 juvenile Wolves are chosen to do the 30 day trail, and only 50 of those Wolves make it into the Nightmare pack.
At the same time all Wolves over 50 years old in the nightmare pack are kicked out to be rouges like over half the Werewolf population.
Everyone but an Alpha is born a rouge, if you wish to be a pack member, you must work for it.
The nightmare pack is known worldwide for their courage, strength and high number of pack warriors.
"But i didn't sign up," Juliette told her sternly, shaking her head frantically at her absurd idea.
"Oh darling, the rules have changed this year! You no longer sign up, you are nominated!" she cheered, making Juliette turn her gaze to Karen's guilty face.
Karen has always insisted Juliette sign up for the 30 day trial, but she refused, saying she wasn't interested.
Juliette is quite content living as a rouge, with more freedom.
"I'm sorry darling, but i thought it was best," Karen defended herself, putting her hands up to show she was sorry.
"I don't want to go, can i pull out?" Juliette turned to Linda, who shook her head grimly, seemingly confused as to why Juliette wouldn't want to be I'm the nightmare pack.
"No, we have had to many potential She Wolves pull out last year, so the Alpha King has set up a new rule; you must attend."
Linda's stern words made Juliette frown, but mainly want to let the earth swallow up.
She had a sibling it would be fine, her mother would never have forced her to do something she didn't want to.
Linda didn't wait for her reply, but turned to the safe, unlocking it with the key that hung around her neck.
Juliette watched nervously, her hands sweaty and her heart racing steadily against her ribs.
Juliette yelped as she pulled out a small needle, and a paper looking thing.
"What is that?" Juliette asked hoarsely, swallowing a large lump in her throat.
"Before you go to the 30 day trial, two tests must be done, and the one i do is the blood test."
Juliette shivered at the word blood; the word she hated most in the whole world.
Linda grabbed Juliette's thin wrist, which she tried to snatch away, but Linda wouldn't let go, her nails digging into her skin.
"Don't struggle or it sill hurt," she growled, her calm stature gone.
Juliette couldn't help the whimper that left her mouth as Linda dabbed her wrist with some chemical that burned slightly, and grabbed the needle between her fingers.
"Now, this test to make sure there is no diseases in your blood that could be passed into the pack," she sang, her cheery voice coming back, as she pricked Juliette's pure wrist.
The pain wasn't as harsh as expected, only leaving a small sting that lasted around five seconds.
"What happens if I'm diseased?" Juliette asked through gritted teeth, looking as her blood spread around the silver needle.
"Someone else who was nominated will take your place," she said simply, placing the little pad over the wound, then lifting it.
She popped it into a little bag, with Juliette's last name Kerson written on it.
A glimmer of hope showed beneath her words, Juliette hoping she somehow had some disease to get her out of it.
Putting a plaster on, Linda left the house with Juliette's blood in a safe.
~SierraI lay my gun on the table in front of me.He stands in front of me, his arms folded. Maya kneels beside him, looking down. The way she fiddled with her fingers showed she was anxious."We should move in now, their King is in critical condition. They have no chance now," he said softly, sweeping a hand through his ginger hair. I saw Maya wince."Our plan is going perfectly. Everyone suspects Juliette is Delani's killer," I say. He nodded, a slim smile lighting up his features."Perfect, and Ace?""The resistance poses no threat to us. We just need to worry about Jaxon and his pack," I state."But Jaxon is nearly dead?"
~Day Sixteen, MondayJuliette stretched out in bed, feeling oddly warm and sated. She sat up, looking at the wall of Jaxon's room. She looked to her right, and gasped as she saw a half naked Ace lying there, watching her."You finally woke," he said softly, a slight smile playing on his lips. Juliette blinked in confusion, sliding away from him slowly."Ace? What are you doing?" Juliette asked nervously, trying not to let her eyes drift from his. He tilted his head, looking equally confused."I was watching you sleep," he muttered, trying to move closer. Juliette squeaked and went to jump off the bed, but Ace's hand shot out and grabbed her arm, stopping her."Where's Jaxon?" Juliette questioned, looking around while trying to shake from Ace's grip. They were in his room, in his bed, but he wasn't there."He left," Ace said softly, pulling Juliette closer. Bl
Part Two, Sunday"Jaxon..." Juliette warned, her eyes narrowing back at the Kings dispassionate gaze."I will take care of this, while you stay here," he proclaimed, raising a eyebrow. Juliette snorted in dismissal. He didn't know where the resistance was, nor what he was dealing with. He needed to step back and let her or Ace take care of it."Jaxon seriously," Juliette huffed, as Jaxon blocked the door with his massive torso. He stared down at her, completely adamant."You will stay in this room, sleep and let me worry about Blaise. He is my responsibility, considering I may be his possible Alpha," Jaxon exclaimed. Juliette folded her arms. She much preferred to fight for herself, not have someone do it for her."Don't think you can keep me locked in here like your goddamn Princess
-Part One, SundayJuliette flipped the towel over her arm, as she entered the girls shower room. Due to the fact that she had slept with Jazz back in there old room, she had to use the public showers; not a favourite.Feigning innocence last night was easier then she thought. Sure she wasn't supposed to let Jaxon mark her, unless she wanted him dead. But she wanted to kill Ace like he killed Chris. He had bailed straight after his interruption.Juliette had decided that it would be easier if she slept back with Jazz for he night. Jaxon wasn't to keen on that idea, but allowed it once he decided that Juliette knew nohing, and that he needed to think.Juliette waded through the steam in the room, seeing on one figure in the bathroom. Bella.She was brushing her curly blonde hair, staring a herself in the mirror. She had just a towel wrapped around her body.Jul
~SaturdayAce walked slowly, deliberately. He crossed the main hall at a good pace, his eyes trained on the massive chair at the top of the stairs.As he made it close enough, he knelt down on one knee, which pressed against the cold marble."Sir."He bowed his head, staring down at his shoe. Silence stretched across the room."You have failed me Ace," a voice said from behind the chair, embroidered with gold and red. Ace swallowed, but didn't move a single limb.More silence."Juliette Kerson was placed in situation of danger due to your lack of guidance," they spoke again. Ace suddenly had a flash back to the day Maya tried to kill Juliette."Have you secured Maya Green's position?" His boss asked, his voice low and dea
-Day Fifteen, FridayA jolting pain in Juliette's side woke her from her slumber. She groaned and rolled over, her hand finding her side.It was wet. Juliette screamed and retracted her hand, looking to see it covered in her own blood. Juliette looked down, and screamed again when she saw she was stark naked.And in the middle of the woods.She looked around, her eyes searching for something, anything. This was surely a dream, and her dreams always had some moral.Suddenly Ace stumbled into view, his black eyes wide with fury. He looked at Juliette, who backed away till her back was against a tree. Juliette tried covering herself, afraid of him seeing her naked. He was shirtless, his torso covered in scratches and cuts, blue blood weeping from the wounds."Kill him Juliette, show me that our love is forever," Ace muttered, his head lolling to the side. He poi
~Day Fourteen, ThrusdayJuliette sat up, gasping for air.Where am I?She looked frantically around the room, to see she was no longer alone in the cabin of the resistance, but in her and Jazz's old room. She sighed and slipped from bed, her feet finding the familar carpet."It was only a dream..." Juliette muttered softly to herself. Skinwalkers, she had never heard of them. She looked down to see she wasn't in her uniform, but a pair of black trackpants, and a blue shirt she had never seen in her life."What the-"Juliette looked up, and screamed as she saw Ace, sitting on the edge of Jazz's old bed, his eyes on Juliette. She sighed and held her hand to her chest, feeling her rapid heart."You scared me," Juliette snapped, glaring at him. Ace chuckled."You look better this morning, the cut on your side has healed w
-Day Thirteen, Wednesday"Stay in bed with me..." Jaxon groaned, grabbing Juliette's hips. She laughed and fell back into the bed. She was in a good mood from not having a single nightmare last night. And Jaxon seemed to be in a pretty good mood as well."I have class," Juliette giggled, rolling over so she was on top of Jaxon. He watched her with amusment, his silver eyes alight with excitment."And the Alpha King shouldn't be the one keeping me from school," Juliette stated, tracing her finger down Jaxon's strong jawline. He was really handsome, even in the morning. His fluffy black hair, as dark as obsidian, his silver eyes, so bright and luminious."Hmm true, I do want you to make it into the pack," Jaxon said softly. Juliette gazed at him for a moment, before smiling gently. Her finger trailed down the base of his neck, and to the neck line of his shirt."Why, so you can keep an eye on me?" Jul
~Day Twelve, TuesdayJuliette groaned. It was another dream, it had to be. Although she wasn't in her original dorm room, but in Jaxon's room.She was standing at the foot of the bed, staring at the covers. Everything seemed hazy, and she had a sudden urge to pull the covers away. Instead, she she tried all the doors, to find them locked.She glared at the covers. Suddenly they moved and she screamed a little, backing up till her back ht the door. Jaxon pushed the covers back. He was alive in this dream."Juliette, what are you doing?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. His silver eyes were glazed over. Relief flooded through Juliette."I thought I was having a dream..." she explained, advancing on Jaxon."Where did you get that knife baby?" he asked, his voice oddly monotone. Then she realized he wasn't looking at her, but behind her.Juliette turned slowly, t
