I turned to look back at the white faced Nina and the screeching pack of girls around her. She was trying to battle back, but you could tell she had lost steam. Suddenly, there was a loud beep that went through the air. Everyone froze, and I turned back to Wendy and she mouthed the word, ‘Announcements’. I just nodded and turned back to the line to wait my turn to pay. “Good evening students.” Alpha Vince’s voice came over the speakers, and I had to stop my eyes from rolling. “It has come to my attention that there are a lot of students claiming that they were the ones that donated the money to the student body. I wanted to clear up some facts, so that there were no more infighting.” I turned wide eyes to Wendy, and she winced. “He wouldn’t.” I whispered, but knowing him, he would. He would one hundred percent claim the donation for Brandon or himself. “Let me be very clear about this. The person who donated the money wanted to stay anonymous. And anyone that has made the claim tha
I made it back to my room, and I wanted to collapse. I dropped my bags at the door, and took off my shoes. I grabbed the bags and put everything away. I left the sushi to have for dinner and put the rest into the fridge. I grabbed my laptop out of my bag and set it up to watch a show while I ate dinner. Once I was finished eating, I took a quick shower and had crawled into bed when I remembered I had to call the king. I groaned as I pulled myself out of the bed to the safe. I punched in the code and unlocked the lockbox inside, and grabbed the phone. I crawled back into bed with both of my phones. Ronnie had saved his number into my main phone, so I had to get the number off one for the other. I saved the number under King Rowan, pulled my main phone in, and then dialed.I was hoping he wouldn’t pick up. I checked the time, as the phone rang for a third time and realized it was nearly midnight. I winced as the phone call connected and a deep voice, rough with sleep, answered. “Hello?
The next few weeks flew by. With classes, training and the calls with everyone, I was insanely busy. Most nights, I did my homework, ate a quick dinner, and crawled into my bed. The calls between Rowan and I became a weekly event. Usually, on the day of class, we would talk about what was going on in the packs. He told me about the unrest. More and more packs were being targeted for some unknown reason. But my father’s pack was targeted the most. One Friday, I got a call from Cass. “Hey! How’s mated life treating you?”“Honestly, it’s been amazing. Greyson has been so supportive.”“I’m so happy for you.” I truly was. “You deserve the world.”“Thanks, but I didn’t call to catch up.” Cass’s voice dropped low. “I was told not to call at all, but since I wasn’t commanded, I think Ronnie understood was I was going to do.”“What’s wrong?” My stomach dropped. “We have been attacked three times since you left, Amy. All rogues, all knowing our old security runs. Ronnie, Greyson and you dad h
I scoffed when I turned away from the door and walked back to my bed. “What did he just say?” Rowan asked again. “He said that he wanted to be with me and dating and fucking my sister was a mistake. The romantic of the year here.” I plopped down on my bed and steered the conversation back to the problem at hand. “Anyway, I think I know why the attacks amped up.”“We are going to revisit this declaration of this boy. But why?” I could hear him settled back into a chair. He must have stood up at some point. “Because the shaman and his newly awakened daughter, just fled to my father’s pack.” I whispered it. I knew my magic was still in effect because I could feel it, but I still felt the need to whisper it. I could hear the groan of wood on his end of the call. “Please tell me you are lying.”“I wish I could.”“The shaman had a child?” “A five-year-old daughter.” I bit my lip.“She’s too young.” His voice held disbelief.“Yet, I held her as she had her first vision before I left Vinc
I walked out of class and headed straight to the forest. I needed a run. I was frustrated. These past few weeks have been frustrating, and I didn’t know why.Yes, you do. Nix’s voice was amused. “No, I don’t.” I ran the rest of the way to the forest trail. I needed the wind on my fur, the dirt under my claws. Megan rolled her eyes at me. Yes, you do.I stumbled to a stop and threw up my hands. “No, I don’t.” I screamed and had a few people stare at me. I shook my head and apologized to everyone. I ran the rest of the way and shifted into Nix. She took off. She wove in and out of trees, jumped over fallen ones and skid under bushes. “You know why you’re angry. You just don’t want to admit it to yourself.”Just get to the point, Nix. Rowan. Megan sat back on her haunches beside me. You haven’t seen or heard from him since the last call. She looked over at me. You have had a sub in class and he hasn’t called you back, so you haven’t called him.Well. He should have called me back lik
“Nix. Stop.” I growled out as my head snapped to the light grey wolf of Alpha Vince came sliding into the clearing. “Please.” The other wolves gasped as he gave that inch, but his wolf wasn’t stupid. I was twice his size, and just as vicious.I turned my head back to the others and sat. “They attacked me.” Was my only answer.“We did not.” Nina, or her wolf, yelled back, but Vince ignored her and turned to me.“What happened?” His preference was noted by everyone there. “I was chasing after a deer. I thought in these woods, as a student, I was safe to roam.”“And you are.” His answer was swift. I felt my eyes widen in surprise. “Then why did the little brown wolf, the one I haven’t met, why did she intercept me? Why did they surround me?”“Who is this bitch?” Nina’s response was vicious, and very confusing.How does she not know who I am?Nix and Megan looked at each other and then answered. We changed your scent when you shifted into Nix. That way, if you wanted, you could stay ano
I watched as they all shifted and covered themselves. “Please don’t make us do this.” One small brunette asked. But I scoffed. “You attacked me. You teamed up on me. You were going to force me to leave a place that I was allowed to be and now you want mercy?” I called out and turned. “We are sorry.” Another called, and they dropped to their knees. “Nina told us there was a rogue wolf out here, and we needed to protect the school.”I whirled. “In what world does that make sense?” I stalked back to the naked women. “You are all weak, untrained, mostly unranked wolves. You caught me unaware because I thought I was safe to hunt in these woods. Which honestly was my fault. But if it really was a rogue, you would have died. Nina knew the wolf out here was either a student, but based on my size, she probably assumed it was an alpha male out hunting and she wanted to stand out.” I cut a glare at her. “I can only assume she knows who the alpha male is, and knew he would be out here today. Sh
She chased after the deer and ignored the male, who was still trying to get some attention. He nipped at our heels, chased after us, and tried to get us to play the entire time, but we were on the trail of the deer. She skidded to a stop, with Erubus stopping next to me. He opened his mouth, but she sunk down and edged under the bush in front of us. The deer was in a clearing, ears twitching, eyes alert. She felt him sink next to us and he went on alert when he saw the deer. We separated and then circled the deer, working together to get the deer. We both lunged as if we were one unit. She went for the neck while he landed on the buck, taking him down to his belly. I pulled back as our teeth dug into the buck’s neck and I felt the first gush of blood hit our mouth. Megan cackled at me, gagging as Nix focused on the kill. You don’t have to hunt with us. Megan’s voice was cheerful. You can pull back enough that it is just her.I know. I pushed my hand deep into her coat. But I want to

“Who the fuck do you think you are?” Nina stepped closer to me. “Who are you to talk down to me?” She snarled in my face, but I couldn’t help the laugh.I raised my hands again with my basket hanging from one. “Listen, who I am isn’t your concern. But it just seems very convenient that you are taking credit for something that was supposed to be anonymous.”Nina stepped closer. “Just because Professor R stood up for you doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you. Professor R is a man. And like any man, his attention will drift, but let me make myself very clear, he’s mine. He might support you now, but he will come back to me.”I looked up, met her glare, and started laughing. “What the fuck does he have to do with you claiming to donate money?”She stepped closer. “I just want you to know that just because he stood up for you today doesn’t mean he will cover for you now.”I had to bend over; I was laughing so hard. “He knows who donated the money. As does Alpha Vince and Mrs. Sandlewood. Somethin
