Chapter 61
Opening my eyes, I saw a very large grey wolf headed towards us. He shifted as pulled on pants and a shirt. As he got closer I was able to make out his features. He was older than my father but I didn’t know by how much. His hair was fully grey but there weren’t enough lines in his face to call him an old man. I bet he referred to himself as one. He was still in shape and as he came closer to the two, I realized he towered over them. Trying to swallow the lump in my throat, I jumped out of the seat and shut the door to my car. I tried to look nonchalant as I leaned against the front of Thing and crossed my arms over my chest. He patted the one guy in human form on the shoulder before coming closer to me.
‘He’s just an Alpha. Not even as strong as you, even with his age. You got this.’ Raine tried to give me a pep talk and this one actually worked a little.
“I am Alan Williams, previous Alpha to the Red River pack. The boys s

“Why now? You obviously managed to get away from the pack. Why come here?” I locked my jaw, looking from Luna Katerina to Alpha Alan. The two of them were close, his hand was holding her tight and I swallowed. “I…um…I…some things happened. Requiring me to leave. Red River was on my way. I thought, I could…um…try and t-t-track…” My voice was shaking. Who was I kidding? This woman absolutely was our mother. She looked like all of us. I could see Rin in her eyes. I could see Cal in her face. I could see Emmett in the way she was forcing her smile, and how she held herself. I saw myself in her build and really, most of her features. What was I supposed to do now? I’d found her. I’d found her and she had no idea who I was, what I had gone through. ‘You’re starting to waver, Sky. Focus. He’s right. Why? Why did you want to do all this?’ Raine was filling me and starting to help hold myself up. ‘I…I wanted to maybe save her? I wanted to…fuck! I don’t know, Raine. I don’t know! I’m so fuc

We were quiet for a moment and she let me take a few breaths without feeling like my lungs were being squeezed in a vice-grip. Her hand came up and brushed a stray hair behind my ear. “You are so beautiful. I can’t even believe I get to see you. I never thought…I always hoped you would be free but I could never even dream that one day I would get to see you.” I let out a soft chuckle. “All of us look like you. There isn’t a single ounce of our father in our features. It’s actually pretty hilarious. It got so bad that he had to order people to stop talking about it.” She smiled. “Tell me about them? Your siblings.” “Caleb is the eldest. He is the one who is supposed to take over the pack. He’s pretty tall but not as tall as Father. His hair is always short but it’s blonde and brown eyes, like mine. Catherine is next. She use to be a free spirt and wanted to travel the world but now…” I sighed. “She’s mated to an awful wolf and she’s become this incubator. She loves her kids though,

Tapping the numbers on the keypad, the lock to the shop door clicked and beeped before the light turned green and allowed me to open it. I shouldered my duffle bag and pushed the heavy door open. Inside was like a dream. The exact dream Emmett and I pictured.Everything was shiny and new, the floor was the non-slip acrylic floor with the sprinkle of traction. Instead of the usual black and while flecks though, they were gold and blue. A deep midnight blue and an old worn gold color. The colors were littered around the shop in the tool chests, the car lifts, even the pictures on the wall. Everything we had picked as we scrolled through thousands of options. Seeing it all together, physically, was both thrilling and painful. It was supposed to be Emmett and I. It wasn’t supposed to be a fly by night rush but a road trip of epic proportions. A ribbon to be cut and party thrown. Not coming into a dark shop, silence engulfing the space, and reminding me that I was completely

Flopping down on the bed, I’d ordered an Alaskan King, the largest bed possible. A whole 108” by 108” of memory foam that boasted the best cooling air flow to cool even the hottest werewolf down. Or so the representative I spoke to advised. It was nice, softer than anything I’d slept on in my entire life. Luxurious couldn’t even begin to describe how I felt in this room. It was like a dream. A dream that if I woke up from, I’m not sure I could take the pain of it all.‘You’re not dreaming. You’ll need to get used to it. Fill out the closet and buy good clothes. Spoil yourself a little with the money you saved up. You deserve it, Sky. After all you’ve been through, this is but a fraction of what you deserve.’Raine stated it so matter of factly but it was easy for her to say. Less easy for me to believe. I curled up on my side and closed my eyes. The world started to spin, and after a few choked

My eyes flung open and I pulled my knees up, burying my head in them. I’d felt that presence before. An unknown just at the edge of my dreams. The same one each time but now I was able to see him. I was able to feel him for the first time. Then the look on his face when I rejected him.‘I don’t know what you were expecting, Sky. The Moon Goddess chooses our fated. There is a reason for that.’ Raine wasn’t judging. She would sometimes sound more like she was a mother and this was another one of those times.‘Oh? And Justin was just a fling? For you and for me? This new person is actually out mate?’ I felt my heart squeeze, the thought of Justin. His own look of madness as he tried to stop me from leaving. Raine was quiet though.‘Raine?’‘I believe they are both our mates, Sky. I have the same feelings coming from both of them. As though both of them are tied to us.&

“Alright, that should be it. Just confirm all the information and you will be all set.”I looked over the information on the page and nodded. He smiled and typed a few things on his computer. Handing me my card back, I shoved it in my wallet. Printing out a few pages, he stapled them together and handed them to me.“I’m glad I was able to help you out. We can’t always match the drummer with their set. I’m glad we had the option of grabbing the one you’re more comfortable with.”“Th-Thank you. Seriously.”Nodding, he motioned over to the other kits on the floor. “If you want, you can those out. The one set up in the sound booth right now is DW Collectors Edition. It’s about six grand. Sometimes it’s fun to play on an expensive instrument.”I smirked and nodded. He came around the counter again and opened up the door to the sound proof room they had in the corner of t

I sat at the kitchen counter with the tablet, laptop and phone spread out on the kitchen counter. It had taken hours this morning to get everything set up. I’d decided I was just going to organize my closet yesterday and cook dinner before working out in the downstairs gym before heading to bed. There was just too much stimulation yesterday and I needed to have an outlet for it.Today though, I was going to learn and set up all my devices. I thought it would take me an hour at most but apparently, the phone and computers I were used to working on were last century compared to the ones I got. It was a completely learning curve. My email and music were now on all three devices but then it was getting everything else together that was a pain. I wanted some of the business things that Em had set up on the laptop but that was apparently crazy to try and do.Sitting up and stretched, I sighed. Moving back over to my new phone, I had inputed all the phone numbers I knew

We were driving back and the sun was going down. I had done a little shopping, grabbing a bomber jacket and a couple other single items of clothing to continue filling out my closet. It had been another really good day. Pulling into the garage, there was an 1961 Starfire Oldsmobile parked in the lot. I covered my heart as I turned off Thing and got out.“Hey, do you know the owner of this place? I’m looking to see if they have a part for my car.”I smiled. “Y-your looking at her.”“You?”I nodded. “W-what you looking for?”“I just…was having some issue with a rattling noise when at idle.”Looking over the car, the guy had taken excellent care of her over the years. Even the convertible top looked new.“D-did you check the harmonic balancer? Sometimes they separated. The rubber between the ring and the pulley has dried out.”“I…didn
