I stood frozen in the darkness of my room, staring at my phone screen. The coldness in Jordyn’s voice kept me glued to the spot. I couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was watching me; even though I could not see him, my spine tingled.
Out of fright, I hastily rushed to my window and slammed it shut. His words echoed in my head. ‘We’re not done yet.’
What did he mean by that? I thought this whole charade was only going to last three weeks. Wasn’t that the deal? I was starting to doubt because Jordyn’s voice hinted at something more sinister, as if he was extending the agreed timeframe.
“This is exhausting” I let out a deep sigh, my shoulders slumping in fatigue. I wondered if I had underestimated Jordyn’s intentions, why did I have to be caught up in an Alpha’s world? I had always tried to stay unnoticed, to blend into the background, and not draw unnecessary attention to myself. So where could I have gone wrong?
His words ‘we’re not done yet’ sounded more like a promise, a threat, a warning. And I knew I couldn’t ignore it. I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache brew as I tried to assure myself that I was just being paranoid, and Jordyn was just trying to intimidate me…
A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts just before my mother pushed the door open.
“Hey Mom” I greeted, trying to mask my frustration and unease.
She stood at the door, staring at me without saying anything.
I looked up at her, confused. What could be the issue?
“Are you okay, dear?” She suddenly asked. The question caught me off guard. Why was she asking me that? Could she have noticed what was going on?
I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. “Uhm…” Before I could formulate a response, she walked into the room.
“I just wanted to know if you were okay with it?” She said in a cool voice.
Okay with what?. I slightly squinted my eyes, trying to understand her.
“Can you be more clear, I have no idea what you’re talking about” I retorted. I was starting to get irritated. My mother never cuts to the chase, always beating around the bush.
“Your brother got his wolf yesterday,” she finally blurted out.
I halted in my tracks, my mind reeling from the sudden revelation. ‘Oh, what a bombshell. Should I go bow at his feet?’
“Hmm, yay,” I replied, my voice flat and emotionless.
“Aren’t happy for him?” My mother asked, her tone filled with disappointment.
“Do I look unhappy?” I shot back. My voice dripped with sarcasm as I raised an eyebrow, my expression masked with nonchalance.
I have no concern with whatever she just said, bothering myself about my brother was the last thing I would do at the moment. I already have a lot on my plate.
“Is that the only reason you came here?” I asked, trying to hint that it was time for her to leave.
“Uhm… darling, the thing is…” she stuttered.
‘Oh great. Bad news?’
“Your father… he wants you to undergo training.” The words tumbled out of her mouth like sour grapes.
I stared at her, trying to decipher the meaning behind her words. My ears must be playing tricks on me.
“What training?” I asked, even though my gut told me I already knew.
“Come on Bri, you know what I’m talking about,” she replied. I could see a glint of pity in her eyes, and it made my skin crawl.
Oh, how I hated that expression. I loathed seeing people pity me. It makes my stomach turn. My emotions boiled within me, making it hard to keep them suppressed. I tried to keep calm, but my mouth had other plans.
“What the fuck, mom” I suddenly yelled.
This must have caught my mother off guard, because I could clearly see the surprise plastered all over her face. The look of surprise soon turned into annoyance.
“I’d advise you to mind your language, young lady,” she warned in a stern tone.
“Well, screw that shit,” I rebelled, my anger boiling over. “Is father trying to get rid of me now?, because Eric now has his wolf, I’m not welcome in this house anymore?” My anger grew as I watched my mother’s eyes.
“No, no sweetheart, your father would never do that. He just wants you to get stronger, so he decided you start training at the pack house,” she tried to convince, but her last word rang a bell.
“The pack house?” I repeated, trying to make sure I heard her right.
“Yes, the pack house,” she replied, confirming her words.
Just when I thought my life couldn’t get any more complicated. My father was shipping me off to the one place I wanted to avoid—the den of the Alpha who’d been pestering me. It was like he was handing me over on a silver platter. I could feel my anxiety spiking , my mind raced with all the worst-case scenarios.

*BRIANNE’S POV*“Why do I have to train at the pack house?, can’t I train somewhere else?” I asked as my anxiousness skyrocketed.“So you’ve agreed to train?” My mother asked, her tone laced with surprise.I held myself from rolling my eyes. “Did I have a choice in the first place?” I retorted.“The pack house is the best and the safest,” she said, her mood seemed to have been elevated. “You could even get the chance to be trained by the Alpha’s mother. Then maybe you could transform into your wolf form” she continued, the last part came out in a whisper.“Not again” I groaned in annoyance. “ do we have to do this all the time?” I stomped.“You need your wolf Bri,” she persuaded.“No I don’t,” I said, the volume of my voice going higher as I took a step back. “Why can’t you see me for who I am instead of sending me off to some combat training? I can’t shift... Wolf wolf wolf, You all make me so sick. I don’t need my wolf,” I yelled.“Then you’re nothing more than a human,” my mother y

*BRIANNE’S POV*“That is bad news,” Mary said.I rolled my eyes at her. “That’s the whole point, of course, it’s bad news,” I said perplexed.Mary chuckled. “Your life is full of unexpected surprises, Bri. You have to admit, it’s never boring” Mary added, her voice laced with sarcasm.I groaned. “They are driving me nuts, Mary. Just because my brother now has his wolf, my father suddenly decided it would be better for me to train at the pack house?” I complainedMary tried to offer a reassuring smile. “Your father might just be trying to push you to your full potential” she tried to reason with me.“Full potential?” I repeated, my voice rising. “You know as well as I do that people training at the pack house all have their wolves already. They are not struggling like I am” I said, devastated.“This whole thing is weird” Mary’s voice became low. “Do you think he told your father to make you train at the pack house?” Mary’s question sounded more like she was talking to herself.“I doub

*BRIANNE’S POV*I stood at the entrance gate, my heart beating fast in my chest.My gaze locked onto the sign above, the logo of the silver-black pack. The metallic letters gleamed in the sunlight as my mind clouded with a sense of unease.I glanced back, my anxiety taking the better of me.The line was longer than I expected, I guess I wasn’t the only one training. The realization only added to my unease. I gripped my gate pass and training form firmly, trying to keep the papers from rustling too much.“Brianne Preston..”I almost jumped when I suddenly heard my name. Without hesitating or wasting any time, I rushed forward.The chubby lady scrutinized my forms, her eyes scanning through the pages with curiosity. Then she looked up at me, her gaze navigating my face and body with a discerning intensity. I felt a slight flutter in my chest as she seemed to take in every detail, her expression unreadable. Her eyes lingered on my face as if searching for something. I straightened my po

Their waiting eyes stared back at me, gleaming with anticipation.His thunderous voice boomed again. “You, pretty girl, Come up here”The lady turned to me with a faint but encouraging smile. “Go on, show us what you’ve got”My legs stayed rooted to the spot. ‘But I’ve got nothing to show’“I..sorry I think I’ll pass,” I said shakily.The lady chuckled. “You don’t get to pass.” She said. “Be an honorable wolf and go on” She encouraged.But how…how do I tell them I don’t have my wolf? How do I tell them I’m not strong enough? I tried to move my legs but they stayed stuck to the ground, refusing to budge. I knew that once I stepped into that ring, my fate was sealed.The crowd’s cheers grew louder, but their enthusiasm wasn’t for me— It was for my opponent. A tall, slender girl in her mid-20s. She snarled, glaring at me with a fierce intensity. Her eyes seemed to dare me to step forward.My legs fi

*JORDYN’S POV*I was in a deep conversation with Josh in my office when a sudden, intense sensation washed over me, sending waves down my spine. My senses came to life all at once, It was as if my senses had been hijacked, and I was hit with a familiar sweet scent. That unmistakable scent.It was her!! The sweet smell that hasn’t left my nostrils since the very day I met her. It was Brianne.This weird feeling—I could feel my wolf on a total rampage.But wait… what is she doing in the pack house?As I struggled to regain my composure, a chill crept up my spine at the mere thought of seeing her.“You okay bro?” Josh’s voice suddenly pulled me out of my confusion.I turned to him, but my mind was blank and unable to form a coherent response.“What’s wrong?” He asked, the concern visible on his face. “You seem out of it lately, I think you need some time off” He advised.I exhaled awkwardly, “yeah… I think I need some time off” I agreed unhesitatingly.Josh nodded “So I’ll see you later,

*BRIANNE’S POV*He carried me to a room, his strides purposeful and swift. He carefully laid me on the bed, his touch gentler than I expected.I didn’t know what to say to him, my mind raced with uncertainty. Should I apologize? Explain? Remain silent? I didn’t even know if I should say anything at all. His eyes flashed with anger and his jaw clenched.As he towered over me, his gaze pierced through me as if searching for answers to the questions that filled his mind. I felt a shiver run through my spine under his intense scrutiny.He walked to the telephone without saying anything and made a call.“Call in Doctor El” I heard him say over the phone.I wondered why he was calling a doctor—we werewolves heal quickly, and I could already feel my wounds closing, which was a painful, slow process for me. My healings are always excruciating and prolonged, unlike others of our kind.After making the call, he turned and leaned against the table behind him. His eyes fixed intently on me. His g

*BRIANNE’S POV*“You will no longer go out there to train,” He decreed, his voice firm and authoritative. “Not until you’re fully recovered,” He said.I flared up at the command, my instinct rebelled against his attempts to control me. “Who says I’m not fully recovered?” I asked him. Obviously, he wanted a reason to keep me captive, because he could clearly see that I was healed completely.His stone cold gaze roamed over me, ravaging my body before finally resting on my face, “you know I could lock you up here and your parents won’t be able to do anything about it” He threatened. The air seemed to vibrate with tension as we engaged in a silent stare-down.His threat did something to me, it wasn’t fear that I felt, but a thrill that ran through my veins like a spark of electricity. The way his eyes traveled my body as if claiming ownership, made my skin tingle with a sensation I couldn’t quite explain. He has a way of shutting me up every time, rendering me speechless with just a gla

Is this also some kind of exercise?I sneaked into the arrangement, trying to blend in and avoid drawing attention to myself.“Alright!!” A female voice resounded in the open space. “I’m gonna tell y’all why we’re doing this,” she said, standing in front of the crowd.“I got orders from above” she continued, her eyes scanning the crowd before finally landing on me. “We’re going to start the basics of combat training,” she said, her voice firm and authoritative.The crowd murmured, the complaints visible on their faces.Some people turned to me, which made it even more awkward. It was as if they were blaming me for what the instructor just said.“Silence,” The instructor yelled, tuning down the murmuri

I could still hear Mary’s voice in my head, teasing me about how I owed her a proper date. It played on repeat as I sat on the couch, flipping through ideas for something special. I wasn’t the type to go all out—fancy dates and grand gestures weren’t really my thing—but for Mary, I wanted this to feel different. She deserved different.The past few days in the clinic had been torture, not because of the pain, but because I couldn’t stop thinking about her. The memory of her hand in mine, the way her cheeks flushed when I’d asked her to be my girlfriend, was burned into my mind. She’d told me to wait, to get better first, but that didn’t stop me from imagining her answer.With a plan finally forming in my head, I grabbed my phone and sent her a quick text.Me: Don’t forget, Friday night. Dress fancy.Her reply came almost instantly:Mary: It better be worth it.I laughed under my breath, shaking my head. She always knew how to keep me on my toes.*** Friday rolled around faster than I

*MARY'S POV*I stood outside Josh’s room in the clinic, the door slightly ajar. It had been two days since the accident, and though his wounds were healing, I still couldn’t shake the image of him lying unconscious and bloodied. I’d barely slept since Brianne called me with the news. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him in that state.The sound of his voice pulled me from my thoughts.“Mary, you planning to just stand there, or are you coming in?”I pushed the door open, trying to mask the relief that flooded through me at seeing him awake and smirking. Typical Josh—always ready with a grin, even when he was banged up.“How long were you watching me?” I asked, stepping in and closing the door behind me.“Long enough to see you pacing like a worried mom,” he teased, his voice hoarse but warm.I rolled my eyes, pulling the chair closer to his bed. “You’re insufferable, you know that?”“And yet, here you are.”I couldn’t argue with that.*** *JOSH'S POV*Mary looked tired, like she ha

*MARY'S POV*Walking into the room, I felt my chest tighten at the sight of him. Josh was lying on the bed, his face pale, his breathing steady but shallow. Bandages covered his arms and chest, and there was a faint bruise along his jawline.I pulled up a chair beside his bed, my eyes welling up with tears. “You idiot,” I muttered, my voice shaking. “Why did you have to be so reckless?”He didn’t respond, of course. He was unconscious, his body working overtime to heal itself. I reached out, hesitating for a moment before taking his hand in mine.“You’re going to be fine,” I whispered, more to myself than to him. “You have to be. I’m not done yelling at you yet.”*** Hours passed, though it felt like days. Brianne came in to check on me a few times, offering food or water, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave Josh’s side.As the first rays of dawn filtered through the window, I felt a slight movement in his hand. My heart leaped, and I leaned forward.“Josh?” I whispered, my voice ba

*MARY'S POV*I groaned again, burying my face in the pillow. “Why am I like this? Why can’t I just enjoy it and move on?”It wasn’t like I hadn’t been with other guys before. But with Josh, it felt different. There was a connection, something deeper that I couldn’t quite put into words. And that scared me.“Do you think I’m falling for him, Mr. Fluffy?” I whispered. The teddy bear, of course, didn’t respond, but I could almost imagine him giving me a knowing look.I laughed softly, shaking my head. “No, no, no. This is just… it’s a phase. A momentary lapse in judgment. I’ll get over it. I mean, it’s Josh. He’s annoying and cocky and—”My phone buzzed on the nightstand, cutting off my train of thought. I reached over to grab it, my heart skipping a beat when I saw his name on the screen.Josh: Hope you’re not overthinking last night. I know I’m irresistible, but try to focus on other things.I rolled my eyes, though I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips.Me: You wish. I’m pe

*JOSH'S POV*Mary stirred slightly, her lashes fluttering against her cheeks before her eyes opened. The sunlight caught her hair, making it shine in soft waves, and for a moment, I just stared. She blinked a few times, her gaze landing on me, and a sleepy smile curved her lips.“Morning,” she murmured, her voice husky from sleep.“Morning,” I replied, leaning against the headboard, my arms crossed casually. “You’re not a morning person, are you?”She stretched, groaning softly as she did. “Not in the slightest. You’re lucky you’re cute, or I’d complain about how bright it is in here.”I smirked. “Noted. Next time, I’ll keep the blinds closed.”Her head tilted, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Next time, huh?”“Well, that depends,” I said, my tone teasing. “Do I get a ‘next time,’ or was this a one-time deal?”Mary propped herself up on one elbow, her expression playfully stern. “Don’t fish for compliments this early, Josh. It’s too much effort.”I laughed, the sound filling the room

*JOSH'S POV*We walked back to the car in a comfortable silence, the sound of the waves fading behind us. Mary’s steps were light, her head tilted slightly as she took in the surroundings. I couldn’t help but watch her, admiring the way the wind played with her hair and how her eyes seemed to hold a certain spark.When we reached the car, she turned to me, crossing her arms with a mock-serious expression. “So, Mr. Beta-Hybrid, what’s next on this grand plan of yours?”I smirked, opening the passenger door for her. “You’ll have to wait and see.”She raised an eyebrow, sliding into the seat. “You’re enjoying this way too much, aren’t you?”“Absolutely,” I said with a grin before shutting the door and walking around to the driver’s side.As I started the engine, the warmth of the moment lingered. The drive back was quiet at first, the soft hum of the car filling the air. I could feel Mary glancing at me every now and then, her curiosity practically radiating.Finally, she broke the silen

*JOSH'S POV*“After I was born, there was a lot of fear about what it would mean to have a half-human wolf in the pack. The elders were worried about what people would say, how they’d react. Jordyn’s mother—well, she was the one who stepped in. She wanted to protect me from the inevitable gossip and judgment.”Mary’s eyes widened. “So, she just… hid it?”“Sort of,” I said, leaning forward to rest my elbows on my knees. “She went to a soothsayer. Someone with strong abilities. They found a way to mask the hybrid part of me. That’s why no one’s ever been able to tell I’m different. No one can smell it or sense it. As far as anyone in the pack is concerned, I’m just a regular beta.”“That’s… incredible,” Mary whispered, her voice filled with amazement. “But why? Why go to all that trouble?”I sighed, running a hand through my hair. “Because being a hybrid in the wolf world isn’t easy. Humans and wolves… they’re not supposed to mix. If people knew, there’d be questions, doubts about my lo

*JOSH'S POV*“Actually… there’s something else you should know,” I said, swinging my hands in a playful manner as we strolled across the beach. The breeze was gentle, the sun starting to dip lower, casting a golden glow across the waves. We walked in comfortable silence, but I could feel the weight of what I needed to share building inside me.Mary glanced at me, her curiosity piqued. “Oh? More secrets, huh? You’re full of surprises.”I chuckled, though this was heavier than the usual banter. “Yeah, and this one’s… kind of a big deal.”Her teasing smile faltered slightly, but she stayed lighthearted. “Don’t tell me you’re some sort of vampire-werewolf hybrid. ‘Cause that’s too much for me to handle today.”I laughed, though her joke hit closer to the truth than she knew. “Not quite that dramatic, but close.”We eventually found a shaded spot under a large tree near the shoreline. The wind rustled the leaves, offering a quiet retreat from the rest of the world. I sat down on the sand,

*JOSH’S POV*I reached the pack house and headed straight to Jordyn’s office. He was already behind his desk, looking over a set of documents when I walked in.“Morning,” I said, stepping inside and closing the door behind me.Jordyn glanced up, raising an eyebrow. “You seem in a good mood.”I shrugged, trying to play it off. “Just a good night, I guess.”He didn’t push for details, which was probably for the best. I wasn’t sure I was ready to explain why I couldn’t stop grinning like an idiot. Instead, he handed me a file, the lightness in the air quickly replaced by the seriousness of pack duties.“Here,” he said. “Take a look. We’ve had a few reports of rogue wolves in the north, near the river. We need to adjust the patrols in that area, make sure we’ve got enough coverage.”I nodded, flipping through the papers, but the focus I usually had for work was a little off today. No matter how hard I tried to concentrate, my thoughts kept drifting back to Mary.Jordyn must’ve noticed bec
