“I can’t believe it’s you.” I say to him as he wraps his hands around me and holds me tight. It’s really him. As I have his hands around me, it takes me back to how we used to be—the intimacy we shared and how we found each other despite all.He places his hands on my cheek and stares into my eyes as if he hasn’t seen me before. As if he defied death to meet me and the moment I realized that he snuck into the pack to meet me.I gasp. I let go of his hands and run towards the door to make sure it is locked. Cult, it is dangerous for you to be here! I whisper but yell at the same time.But you are here! You came here so that the bastard wound come against the rest of us. Come on, we would go to my relatives pack. They are waiting for us. Cult says.No, Alejandro will follow me wherever I go. I say to him, looking outside the windows of the library.Still, I cannot stand the fact that you have to stay here to protect the pack. I am the alpha, you shouldn’t be the only one protecting. He
Cult.I follow Alejandro out and his intruders block me from having the smallest access to him. The way they protect him makes it hard to throw a punch but if I wanted to—I’m sure my claws could do damage.Alejandro stops and faces me. There is a scowl in his face and my brows arch in curiosity. I don’t plan on being the first to explain why he deserves to die and suffer.Did you really have to ask her if she enjoys sex with me? Well, I will answer that for you because her moaning and wanting more from me is all I hear all day. Do you care for that information or not? I am going to tear your face off! I yell at him and he moves back, raising his hands in the air.Oh! I am sacred! It’s the almighty Cult who doesn’t even have a place to call home that wants to attacks me. Alejandro says and his intruders chuckle at my defeat. I tighten my fist as I stand surrounded by then.Didn’t your mother tell you Cult? Alejandro asks me and I don’t quite understand where is going with it. About?
Nineteen years later.The Blood pack—formerly known as the Sovereign pack. Asker.It doesn’t matter where I go.“By the Crest on my neck, people pay me respect when they realize who my parents are and what pack I come from.” Although, my high school doesn’t accept tattoos, I have never received a notice of complaint against the one I have on my neck.Lucas, my best friend walks into the changing room just after we finished and won the football game that made everyone cheer for our school.Asker, damn! Did you see girls? They were screaming at us so much. I could hardly hear what anybody was saying. Lucas says, he is my father’s beta son and we grew up together as children.I chuckle as I put on a white, clean t-shirt and grab my bag to head out. Lucas, you have a girlfriend. Why do you keep looking at these other girls? I ask and he places his hand on my shoulder.Well, Quinn isn’t my fated mate! Can you believe it? Very soon, we will recognize our fated mates and our fathers will
Mary.As the beta’s daughter of the Sovereign pack, whatever impact takes place in the life of the alpha’s family. I have to be a part of it. We moved back to a city that banished us once before but now, we have arrived strong. Although, we are not here to fight or prove that we have power.“We are simply here because the Alpha’s daughter, Bloom, daughter of Alpha Cult and luna Makaila wanted to attend the high school here.” My father, Beta Irish adopted me from an abusive pack and he treats me just like his daughter.Luckily, we are in the same class and even our lockers are assigned together. I really didn’t want to even come for the game tonight but Bloom wanted to meet more people especially since the mate hunt is starting soon.She is obsessed with finding her mate and I, on the other hand I’m here to find out where I come from. I stayed in an abusive pack since I was a kid and I didn’t have any memory of who my parents were. I have a scar at my neck which indicates an accident a
Asker.That was weird.Everything about how it felt to meet that girl was weird and I don’t even know how to explain it. Lucas and Simon are behind me after we head out of the school—we consistently take walk in the woods because of how quiet it is. And as we are walking, about to get call it quits and head back to our car that is packed at the side of the road. I hear a painful howl and we all snarl at the sound. It sounds like a wolf who is in pain and in that instance, my heart literally fold as is I could feel the pain too.We are not sure what direction it came from, but we turn around and are ready to take on anything that stands in front of us. With our night vision and heightened senses, we begin to search for where the sound emanated from.I growl as I get a whiff and a tree snaps.Hey, don’t hurt me! It’s a girls voice and her eyes are filled with tears. I recognize her from an hour ago, she collected the phone from me that was dropped on the floor. “My friend…my friend is
Mary.Wake up, Mary! I open my eyes to see Bloom over me and she helps me get out of Asker’s room.What is going on? I ask.“Your dad, together with my mom and dad just drove into the pack.” They are here to get us. Bloom says.I get up from the bed and floor Bloom out. Although, my pants are stained with blood at my foot side..,my leg is better and not bleeding like it was. I see Asker and he gazes at me.There is something about his eyes and how he looks at me but I cannot explain. However, behind him there is a man who has similar features to him and by the energy surrounding him…it looks like he could be the alpha of the pack. Asker’s father.I cannot even maintain eye contact with him because of how dangerous his expression looks. Fiona, Asker’s mom helps me down the stairs and I really appreciate it.“Our parents are here.” Bloom says and the door opens revealing my dad who is devastated to see my leg but worst of all, the room is dead silent. Bloom! Luna Makaila ask.Dad? Mom
Asker.I could hear my parents disagreement as I left this morning. It was good obvious that they know something about Mary’s family and Bloom’s. I am thinking about it and there is no justification towards how they couldn’t even be hospitable.It must be a serious problem. As I get to school, Lucas and Simon have been waiting for me. Even they could sense the tension in the cold air but at this point, the first person I see in school is Mary, placing some books into her locker.I am about to say hi as I pat my hair and adjust my shirt.Asker! Lucas shouts my name and she raises her head, staring at me.After announcing my presence, I walk towards Mary as she closes her locker and I’m not sure what to even say first. “Your leg looks okay.” I say to her, placing a hand on my neck and hoping that our parents awkwardness will not do the same for us.It’s fine. Asker, I really have to thank your mom. And you guys too! She says referring to Lucas and Simon.Oh, it’s alright! I’m Lucas. H
Mary.I enter into the girl's bathroom as I pull my shirt off and stare at myself into the mirror. I cannot believe that I am having this as a second day. This is so stupid and I don’t have the patience to deal with this. If Bloom was here, it would have turned out to be a fight but I have too much patience.I am in my bra as I put on the tap and try to get the stain off my shirt. I look up and I see Asker, he is holding a t-shirt for me but the problem is, he walked into the girls bathroom and I’m in my black bra.He turns his face away and I take the plain shirt from him. I don’t even know what to say but I just want him to go away as fast as he can. He leaves and I look at the shirt he has brought to me.“Rolling my eyes, I pick up the shirt and i wear it, after leaving the bathroom, I didn’t expect to have Asker waiting for me at the side of the girls toilet.” I am about to walk away, embarrassed by the fact that he saw me in my bra.“I’m sorry.” I forgot that I was in the girls b
