FEYREAgreeing to stay without having anything to do was a bad decision. I didn’t know that till much later in the evening when I got tired of looking around the room, looking out the window and checking out every nook and cranny of the room. The room is quite large—okay, very large, much bigger than mine back at the pack. Not that it is a surprise, Darkmoon pack is much bigger than ours and they have more members. It is only sensible that their pack house is large enough to fit all their members.At least I’ll be very comfortable for the month I’ll be here. The thought still makes the hairs at the back of my neck stand at attention. I didn’t expect Alpha Zade to even act like he knows I‘m present, he hasn’t disappointed because since our stare off earlier before he stormed out, I haven’t laid eyes on him. It is all good though, it is not like I want to see him and what would be better than him ignoring me for the duration of my stay. That will just make my job easier, so I hope he k
FEYRETalking to Dylan was easy, he was welcoming and friendly. I didn’t bring up Gracie for a reason I can’t explain and we ended up talking about many different things. We have a lot in common, not just our titles and jobs and speaking to him about pack stuff, while being careful not to let any information slip, was…fun. Extremely fun might I mention, I didn’t know how or at what point I ended up sleeping but when next I woke up, it was pretty late.I didn’t bother checking the time, just making a rough estimate in my head and thinking I must have slept for more than a few hours. Dylan is sprawled on the floor beside the couch we’d been sitting on while we played games, I don’t know how he ended up there either but seeing how I can’t remember when I fell asleep, I’m not surprised.Moving quietly, I get to my feet and head to the door, walking on just my toes. I open the door with a bated breath, it opens easily without any noises and I’m very grateful for that, nothing happened and
FEYRE“Thank you,” my face heats at the compliment and I thank her, for that and the seat she said I should take. I haven’t realized that many people know about me. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only female alpha in the world though, maybe just the most popular because of our pack being healers.“I’m Gertrude, the cook.” She motions to the stove and I chuckle, settling into one of the bar stools around the counter, again making sure I’m not facing the man at the end of the room.“Everything smells great,” I tell her and she laughs, the sound airy and free. Someone clears their throat and grumbles, Alpha Zade gets up abruptly, Gertrude looks at him questionably and he mutters something I don’t make out. He carries his plate that is still half full and makes to dump it in the sink but a loud voice stops him, making him hold the plates suspended in the air.“What do you think you’re doing?” Gertrude shrieks in horror. The sound reminds me of an old widow, who always knits and yells at kid
FEYREAfter Alpha Zade left, I got up and sat back in my chair, trying to look as normal as possible. Gertrude gives me a look but I shoot her a smile and dig into my pancakes. I moan on the first bite and give her a thumbs up, she finally smiles and goes back to looking normal.“You don’t seem to like the alpha very much,” she observes a few minutes later, taking the seat next to mine. I stare at the last bite of my pancake and lift my shoulder in a shrug. She seems to be his fan and I haven’t studied her enough to know how she would take that. “I know he may seem like he isn't the nicest person, but he has a good heart.”I shrug again because really, what can I say to that? She doesn’t know what is between us and if what happened a few minutes ago says anything, it is that we aren't going to get along at all.“Are you staying here for long?” I purse my lips, chewing slowly and give her a nod then I shake my head.I swallow a little and mumble. “Not really. I’m not sure.”Her lips br
FEYRE“I’m not going anywhere, what are you talking about?” I ask him, sitting up and bringing my legs down. If he didn’t look like he was serious, I would have said he did that just to get me to bring my legs down from his desk.“What do you mean, ‘what am I talking about?’ you’re going to be there for long, how do you want to work as a beta and a luna?” he gives me a look that suggests I’m crazy when he is literally the one spewing rubbish.“It is just for a month!” I retort pointedly. Asher still gives me that look and I huff. “It is the deal I made with him, I get to come back and deal with my beta job because I’m not uprooting my life just for that asshole,” he opens his mouth and I already know he is about to argue so I don’t let him speak. “And besides, you can’t get a step-in beta. Jerry is busy with his gamma work. You can’t do this alone especially with all the plans we have for the new trainees. You need me here.”I was born a beta. The role was tailor-made for me and he kn
FEYREThe energy in the Darkmoon pack feels different after what I experienced earlier. I check the window again after I park my car where it had been and stay in there for a lengthy moment, waiting to feel what I did or see the blinds move again. Nothing happened, I kept staring at it, not wanting to miss when it finally happened but nothing. I give up and get out of the car, convincing myself it was just a figment of my imagination, or at least, trying to convince myself.Probably just my head making things up and my not liking new places. I drag the single suitcase I’d packed from my old things back in my pack and start dragging it with me to the main house. There are more than enough clothes here for me to use, but the brand new pajama pants will never be as comfy and homey as my old ones that have holes in them. I am too attached to let it go at this point.I was surprised when I saw the new shampoo in the bathroom is the brand I use and so is the shower gel. I roll my eyes, rea
ALPHA ZADEFeyre wiggles beneath me, I would have enjoyed this thoroughly if my wolf hadn’t blocked me out. I knew letting him get close to her was going to be a big fucking mistake, I wanted to put her in her place and see where that took us.“Let go of me you fucking asshole,” I can’t help it, I smirk a little and Cassian, my wolf does too. He has a thing for women with a dirty mouth. although you can smell the innocence on her, it is so fucking potent I feel the need scrunch my nose up whenever she is close. How she survives as the beta of her pack, I have no idea. She is too innocent for the things we do to help our pack and our people survive.“No,” Cassian replies harshly. I feel her anger rising and I know she is about to snap, a part of me wants to act like this thing never happened. Take back control from and just leave.Like the episode this morning, I lost it after staying close to her for too long. It can’t happen again.“I’ll count to three,” she blows a breath, trying to
FEYREIn my twenty-two years, I’ve never been humiliated, disgraced and belittled like Alpha Zade just did, and he doesn’t know this but he just started a fucking war. The first thing I do when I get to my room is head to the shower. I hadn’t bothered to wear anything after I shifted back to my human form, entirely too annoyed to even think of nudity or them having security cameras in the hallway.Nudity is second to us and not many people care for it, it doesn’t mean I’m fine with strange men looking at me, just that I couldn’t be bothered with it because of the mood I was in thanks to that freaking asshole.Just, how dare he? I can’t even begin to explain how humiliated I felt. Not only did my wolf betray me, he had to go and use his damn alpha dominance over me. That is so wrong.I shouldn’t have expected right from him, he probably wouldn’t know it if it slapped him in the face.I scrub my body raw that by the time I step out of the shower, I look bright red. I dress in my familia
