Greyson rushed into his house and went straight to the infirmary, Indianna's weight in his arms didn't slow him one bit. "Doc!" Greyson yelled, kicking the door open with his boot. "Doc, where the hell are you?" He laid Indianna on a bed and turned just as a middle aged man with greying hair entered the room."Oh my-" He looked at Indianna who was shaking violently and Greyson clenched his hands into fists."Don't just fucking stare at her, Doc! Help her!" He growled and Doc nodded, hurrying over to Indianna's side."She's... She's starting the process. I wasn't aware we had any shifts happening soon."Indianna screamed out in pain as her stomach felt like it was being ripped apart by knives. She wasn't unconscious, but she wasn't in control of her body. She could feel herself shaking, but she couldn't find the energy to move any part of her body. All she felt was pain."She's not a fucking pack member, help her now, Doc!" Greyson ordered, power oozing from his voice."Not a pack memb
*Indianna's eyes opened and she winced at the bright light above her. She groaned and rubbed her eyes, jumping when there was a sudden cough."Rise and shine, sugar." Indianna looked at Greyson and bolted upright in the bed, but he was in front of her immediately. "Stay calm and don't try to run off," he warned. *I know what you're going to do before you do.*"Let go of my wrist," Indianna said, looking at Greyson's hand. He did as she said and she took a long breath. "Let me leave.""How do you feel?""Let me go home.""Answer the question.""Like shit, can I go now?""Sugar, Doc says you can still have a fit at any random time, you had four while you were sleeping, if you feel one coming then you need to tell me.""Let me go home, Greyson!""No.""Then give me answers.""I can't right now, not until the others get here.""Greyson-""You need to stay calm, Indie. You are still at the beginning of the process and the pain and fits can start again if your heartbeat rises.""What the f
Indianna sat on the bed with her knees pulled up to her chest. She was glaring at Greyson who was seated at the end, talking on his phone. He hung up after a few minutes and looked at Indianna."You're shaking," he frowned. "Are you cold?""I'm fine," she muttered, but Greyson stood up and shrugged his jacket off. He walked over to Indianna, but she flinched away from him. "I'm fine."Greyson ignored her and draped his jacket round Indianna's shoulders and then sat back down. "You don't seem so full of questions anymore, sugar.""I want to go home, Greyson.""You can't until the first stage of the process is complete.""What is this p-process?" She asked quietly and pulled Greyson's jacket tighter around her."It's the process preparing you for your first shift," he said and Indianna's eyes widened."W-What?""You aren't human, Indie.""No," Indianna shook her head. "No!""Your father was an Alpha of a very powerful pack, you inherited the werewolf gene from him. Females rarely inheri
Indianna sat down in the library and fanned herself with her hands, blowing air out of her mouth. "Hot?" Cassie wondered, sitting down next to Indianna.Indianna nodded and closed her eyes, trying to forget about the piercing migraine that was developing."Are you okay?" Cassie asked. "You don't look too good.""I'll be fine," Indianna said quietly and opened her eyes. "I'll be fine."*No, you won't,* Greyson's voice said smugly in her head and she sighed. *You always say that and you're always wrong.**This time will be different.**Oh really?* He chuckled.*Really,* she snapped.*I'm in the canteen, sugar,* he said.*Good for you.**Stop being fucking stubborn and come downstairs,* he said.*I don't know what's making my head hurt more, this migraine or your voice.*Greyson chuckled in her mind. *It's been four days and each day it gets harder for you, I told you that you couldn't fight this.*Indianna ran her fingers through her hair and groaned. She was in pain. She had been for t
Indianna gasped and pulled away, looking up at Greyson with wide eyes. "The whole school is watching, aren't they?" She groaned and Greyson chuckled."Yep.""Fuck," she cursed buried her face in his chest. "Stop them staring, please.""What makes you think I can do that?""You know you bloody well can, everyone is freaking scared of you!""What about you?" He mumbled, resting his chin on Indianna's head."I can't be," she whispered. "Ever since you marked me, it took the fear away."Greyson looked down at Indianna and smirked. "Good.""They're still staring.""I am aware," he shrugged and his eyes flickered around the room. "Take a fucking picture, it will last longer!" He yelled suddenly, surprising everyone in the room. "If I see anyone staring at us, I will personally rip your eyes from their sockets and shove them down your throats!" Everyone immediately looked away and Greyson chuckled, looking at Indianna's slightly surprised face. "What?""You're not a very nice person, are you
"Greyson," Kirstie said when he and Indianna walked into Kirstie's class. "Glad you could grace me with your presence.""Don't expect it to be a common occurrence," he shrugged and Kirstie rolled her eyes."Feeling better, Indianna?" She smirked and Indianna pursed her lips, ignoring Kirstie's smug look."Amazing," she said sarcastically and Greyson chuckled, leading Indianna to the back of the classroom."Have you spoken to your mother?" Greyson asked as they sat down.Indianna tensed and narrowed her eyes. "No.""Indie, you need to talk to her.""She brought me up and refused to mention that my father was murdered by freaking werewolves!" Indianna hissed. "I don't need to do anything that involves her.""She's your mother.""You say that like it supposed to mean something," she muttered. "Drop it, Greyson.""No. I'm not saying you need to become best friends, but you need to give her a chance to explain herself.""She's had 16 years to tell me about werewolves and all this other shi
"Indianna, please talk to me."Indianna gritted her teeth and closed the door behind her. She looked at her mother who was standing in the doorway to the kitchen.She looked desperate."Please.""Five minutes," Indianna said sternly and followed Iris into the kitchen. She took a seat at the table and Iris sat opposite her."Would you like a tea, or a coffee-""Answers," Indianna said. "I want answers.""To which questions?""Why did you keep it a secret?" Indianna asked. "Why hide me from this world?""To protect you," Iris said softly. "This world can be dangerous. I didn't want you to be a part of it.""That wasn't your choice to make.""I know," Iris sighed and shook her head. "And I now know that no matter what I could've done, it wouldn't keep you away from this world. Not when you have a mate in it.""What do you mean?""Mates always find each other," Iris said. "No matter what happens their paths always cross. Mates are part of each other. They are the other half to each other'
"Hiya," Brooke said happily and set her bags down next to Indianna in the girls changing rooms the next day. "How are you, sweetie?""Fine," Indianna nodded."So, do you want to sit with me and the girls at lunch today?""I... Er-""It won't be with Greyson," Brooke chuckled and lifted her top over her head. "Just the girls.""Maybe," Indianna said and Brooke smiled. "Brooke, I didn't know Harry had marked you.""Oh," Brooke said, looking down at her collar bone and then back to Indianna. "Yeah, he has. I try to keep it covered," she scratched the black swirls that were branded onto her skin. "I don't like it. It shows to other werewolves that I 'belong' to someone." Brooke shook her head and rolled her eyes. "I don't belong to shit. Us girls gotta stick together, yeah? No matter what Greyson says to you, you are independent. We are both strong, independent females in a patriarchal society. It's tough being a girl in a werewolf world, but we can deal with it." Brooke pulled a top on a
