Shift Chapter 85
It had been shocking going from the garage to the main floor but this room was too much. For a moment I thought I stepped through a portal to a medieval castle. The gothic style windows to the black walls were incredibly polarizing to the very white rest of the house. Even the bed was four poster carved wood, a covered top, and the black sheer fabric hanging off it. Somehow though, none of it looked tacky, which you would expect. It looked expensive and elegant.Walking over to her bed, I placed her gently on it. She was covered in dirt, leaves, and blood. I doubted she would appreciate being under the covers like that but also I wasn’t about to change her. Mate or not, we didn’t know each other and as Niru said, she was not of age. We had our lines. The fact that she had been sold off before her eighteenth birthday was disgusting enough.‘On par from what we have heard about Alpha Cross.’I hummed and checked her forehead. She w

Stepping back, I sat down on the chair. Skylar sat up slowly and looked around before her eyes fell back to me.“What are you doing here?”I cocked my head to the side. “I…brought you back. You passed out and you had a fever. Do you not remember…?”Her exasperated sigh filled the room. “Let me rephrase my question. What are you still doing here?”“I…” I cleared my throat when my pitch went a little higher than normal. “I wasn’t about to just leave you when you passed out. You were really weak. I wanted to make sure everything was okay.”She blinked at me a couple times and I could read her confusion loud and clear. I realized it might be because no one else has shown her care. That made my heart sink. Skylar swung her legs over the edge of the bed and when she got up, she started to sway. I quickly stood and grabbed her arm, steadying her. The look she g

“Now that we have introductions out of the way, sit down so you’re not standing there like an awkward turtle.”I was struggling not to laugh as she ordered me around. Skylar went back into the kitchen and I sat down in the chair at the kitchen island. She filled a pot with boiling water and set it on the stove.“Do you have any allergies or stuff that you refuse to eat?” Skylar didn’t look at me as she asked.“No allergies. Not a fan of carrots though.”This made her turn, an eyebrow raised. “Carrots? That’s like…a basic vegetable.”“I know. My Grandmother used to make this dish every time we would come over. I guess she thought I had issues eating my vegetables and so made something sweet for me? I don’t know. She would roast carrots until they were pretty much mush with maple syrup. They were disgusting.”The look on Skylar’s face made me laugh

Niru was chuckling in the back of my head. ‘Told you.’ Sighing, I nodded slowly. “I do.” Grabbing the shirt I was wearing and holding it up to my nose, I took a sniff. “This is his, isn’t it?” The fork dropped on the floor and Skylar looked at me, surprised. “How…?” “I can smell him. Mint and Lime. He’s of age then?” She stared at me for a long time before answering. “Yes. He’s twenty-four. He was actually starting at the knights training just when you were leaving. There would have been a chance to run into each other but I guess you never did.” “No. I would have known if I had.” I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. “When did you find out?” Skylar diced up the seasoned chicken and threw it into a hot pan on the stove. “Recently. I thought Justin might be our mate. It just…was a feeling. Plus Raine felt it as well. But once you entered my dreams, there really wasn’t anyone else you could be. I could smell you too. Like cloves weaving into the dream where it didn’t belong. I’m

I let out the breath I had been holding. For now, I felt like I was safe. There was a distinct feeling that I needed to thank her wolf for giving me a chance. Skylar’s personality was very much independent and willing to push anyone away. Raine must be snipping at her to try and make some kind of effort with me.Skylar got up and took her plate around but I rose as well. She started to put the leftovers in a container while I rinsed and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Her curiosity seemed to get the better of her and she chortled behind me.“Do you normally do dishes?”I nodded. “Depending on the day. We don’t keep staff on except for one of the cleaning services out of town. We hire them to come in and clean a bit. The cooking and everything else is left to the three of us living in the pack house.”“Is that…usual? ‘Cause it definitely wasn’t in our pack.”This made me laugh. &ld

‘How the hell did I get here?’I stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling. It was the same color as my ceiling at home but the room was completely different. Honestly, just in terms of color, furniture, and art, everything in this room was better than my room at home. It felt…good. Not that I belonged here but that I didn’t get the weird feeling. That feeling I was somewhere I shouldn’t be when I slept away from the pack house. It was still disconcerting.‘You’re overthinking this.’ Niru was annoyed as my mind continued to run.‘I’m not. If I got used to this…if this felt normal…then I wouldn’t mind spending time away from the pack.’Niru grumbled. ‘It’s good to step away once in a while. Take a vacation. You never relax.’‘Of course not! I’m Alpha! I never…’‘Your
Shift Chapter 91
Pacing my office, I ran my hands through my hair for the umpteenth time. Niru was silent but only because I had pushed him back over a hour ago. Was it too soon to text her? What did I text her? Would it just be a normal conversation? Or would she think I was imposing too much? What if she didn’t even answer? Would I need a reason to text her? Could I think of something stupid? Or maybe just say I needed some information to give to Heath?There were so many questions that kept me from reaching out to Skylar. It had been three days and I hadn’t heard a single peep from her. We exchanged numbers so she could text me if she needed to be on territory, but there was nothing from her. Was I supposed to reach out to her first? Was there some kind of etiquette that I didn’t know about?“You’re going to go bald if you keep doing that, sweetheart.”I nearly yelped as my mom stepped into the office. Her eyes widened and she covered her m

Despite my mom being excited about the new incoming items, she still ordered one of her favorites; the Cedar Plank Salmon. Dad went with the twenty ounce ribeye and I decided on the Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin. They both ordered a bottle of wine but I passed on the wine, ordering a beer instead. “So, what is the situation with the Alpha King?” My dad asked. I only shrugged. “He did reach out and told me that he heard his mercenaries were taken out. I told him that after he left, I headed up to see the damage and what I needed to clean up.” I shook my head, taking a sip of beer. “I also expressed my irritation that I didn’t know what was going on before hand. That I’m not a fan having to scramble to clean up his mess when he already was going against what we talked about as an alliance.” “You didn’t!” My dad looked shocked. “Of course I did. The only reason he did it on my territory was because he knew I wouldn’t snitch to the other guys. It doesn’t
