“You insolent child! After everything…!” Francesca tried to speak up first but Father put up his hand, silencing her.“Anastasia, you have disappointed me.”I rolled my eyes. “Damn. I was aiming for higher. I guess I’ll have to settle for only disappointing you.”“Pup, don’t test me. Need I remind you that you are not the one with the power here.”My eyes slipped to Emmett, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. “Neither are you.”My father growled but Ethan pulled me back, growling and baring his canines. “Watch yourself, Alpha Cross.”“Who is the pup baring his canines at me?”Alpha Alan stepped up, putting a hand on both Ethan’s shoulder and mine. “My son and current Alpha of the Red River pack. As well as Skylar’s mate.”I watched with a sense of satisfaction of the horrified looks from Francesca and my Father. Caleb looked shocked but it was Emmett that I kept my eyes on. He was furious as Alpha Alan moved my hair just a bit to show the mark. My fa

‘You, mostly. About Alpha Moore and what it means to have mated with Ethan.’I hummed and nodded. Taking Justin’s hand, I walked into the chaos. My father with his red face and Ethan with the blank look on his face he pulled out when he was especially livid.“Girl, you think you are off the hook but I swear, you will be punished for running off.” Francesca tried to grab me by my hair but Justin was quick to pull me to his side, out of her reach.“We will have none of that, Luna Francesca. Skylar is Luna of the Red River pack. I suggest you treat her with the same respect that you would be afforded.”I snorted. “If she wasn’t such a bitch all the time, she might know what that felt like.”The slap I was ready for the moment I let the words fall from my lips. Justin I could hear sighing in the background as Ethan’s growl reverberated throughout the pack house.“You touch my mate again, and I will see that you hang by your fingernails, Luna Francesca.”Surprisingly, Father pulled her bac

The sun shone through the window and I winced at the brightness. Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes and looked at Justin and Ethan. The two of them were both still asleep. They stayed up later than I had, making sure that no one could get into the room and steal me away in the middle of the night. Eventually, they must have agreed it was safe and came to bed.Slipping out from under the blankets and looking out the window, there was an entire set-up in the backyard. Complete with hanging lights, a couple smokers and tables all over the back yard. I wondered how many people they intended on inviting to this ‘welcome home party’ but from the look of it, a good portion of the pack that was housed in the city could fit.I quickly took a shower and dressed, but somehow didn’t disturb the two sleeping beauties in the bedroom. Quickly closing the guest door behind me, I looked around the hallway. It was quiet but there was a lot of yelling and talking downstairs. Not wanting to brave whatever was

The party officially started at four. I stood near the back porch of the pack house, away from the crowds. It was mostly made up of the people who Francesca deemed her circle or my Father’s head warriors. Then sprinkled in were my team, their families, and a few other people I knew from the pack. Caleb was talking with Snow White and I smiled. Maybe they would be good for one another. At least Caleb could pull himself up after that bitch Alice.Ethan and Justin had taken it upon themselves to act like my security guards. Alpha Alan was actually being social and speaking with people but there was something he was digging for as he spoke with people. My eyes widened when I saw Helen headed towards us.Throwing my arms around her, I hugged her tight. “Helen. Thank the goddess you’re okay.”She chuckled. “A little dungeon time never killed anyone.”“Don’t start.” My eyes narrowed. “You’re okay though?”Helen nodded and pulled me into a hug again, dropping her voice low. “I’m just sorry yo

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the warrior shift his claws and put them to her neck. She whimpered and I nearly did too. Kat didn’t deserve this. What I did see was a partially shifted Alpha Alan stalking through the crowd. I quickly looked back at Emmett.“Em, I’m not going to be Alpha. Caleb is going to be Alpha. He is going to be good for this pack.” I tried my best to smile as I took another step towards him, keeping his attention. “I don’t need to be anything and neither do you. You are better than all of this.”“Better? No. I’m weaker. But with you, together, we can become the most powerful pack. Together we can take down whoever we want. You and me, we will take on the world like we talked about when we were little.”I shook my head, sadness filling my heart. “That’s not what it meant; to take on the world. I’m not fighting the whole world, Em. I wanted to see the world. Travel and get to experience different foods and cultures. Together we were going to see the world and t

I didn’t look at Emmett. I couldn’t. My tears fell as I shifted my hands into claws.“Sky…what…?” Emmett’s voice sounded confused.“I’m so sorry, Em.” I chocked out a sob. “I failed you. I fucking failed. I’m so sorry.”My claws tore into his back, digging in deep as I held onto him tight. He cried out, trying to pull desperately away. Crying, I held him tighter to me.“Don’t…Em…don’t fight me. Please.”Taking a breath, I opened my eyes and looked up at Emmett. His eyes were looking at me in fear and pain. My eyes reflected red in his.“This isn’t you. This never was you. You’re not a monster. I am.”“Sky…what…are you doing?”I smiled sadly. “I’m taking it all away.”His emotions shifted from confusion, to fear, and then anger. “You can’t!”Swallowing hard, I pulled him closer. The tendrils of darkness started to lash out at me. Their poison and acid trying to corrode me. I shook my head, not even flinching as they attacked.“You can’t hurt me. This isn’t your darkness, Em.” Pushing

Emmett hesitated, his head starting to shake and his eyes filled with tears. I reached out and cupped his cheek, brushing away the tear that fell. The darkness was gone. His wolf was gone. All that was left was his soul. My hope was that it hadn’t done permanent damage to him.The problem I now faced was that I was his weakness. I was his crutch. This wasn’t the first time I’d see the power I held lure him in. I had to make sure this was the last time. If he was truly to heal, to move on and be able to thrive like he should, I would need to remove myself from him. The thought bite my lip as it shook.“I…Sky…what do I do? Do you…” He shook his head. “You should kill me. It would be easier that way, right?”“I’m not going to kill you. I can’t.” I let out a heavy sigh. “It would be easier but since when do we ever do the easy way out?”Emmett let out a breathy laugh. “That’s true. So, my punishment is losing Marrok.”It wasn’t a question but I slowly started to shake my head. “This isn’t
Shift Chapter 172
I woke up screaming and my eyes flung open. Everything was hazy and I didn’t know where I was. All I could remember was the all consuming feeling of the darkness. How sticky my hands were from Emmett’s blood. The last sound that came from Marrok as I killed him. My heart sped up as I started to hyperventilate, as my stomach started to roll.“Hey! Sky! It’s okay. You’re okay. You’re safe.”A hand brushed my cheek but I flinched away from in.“Shit. Hold on. I’m pulling over.”I felt bile start to come up but I just coughed, forcing myself to not throw up. I hadn’t realized we were moving until the motion stopped completely. It helped a bit for my stomach but I still felt like I couldn’t breathe. Hands slipped under my arms and pulled me up from my laying down position. My head fell heavily against Ethan’s shoulder and arms held me tight.“You’re okay. I’ve got you. I’m right here.”That broke the damn. I started to cry as I grabbed onto the front of his shirt, balling it up between my
