I sighed as Ezra approached me. My mind was twisted with upset thoughts and my eyelids were heavy. My head was pounding with a painful headache that made me want to drop dead. I felt like crap and I definitely wasn't in the mood to be awake so early.

"You doing okay?" Ezra asked me as he walked over. He put his hand on my shoulder, comforting me a little. I glanced past him and made eye contact with Liam. He looked at me guiltily and I tore my eyes away from him.

I hadn't slept all night. The bond with Liam twisted and pulled at my mind for most of the night, and it didn't help that I had nightmares every time I closed my eyes. I was exhausted already. I just wanted to go to sleep.

"Yeah. Just tired," I told him with a nod. Ezra smiled weakly at me and looked behind him. He then looked back to me and sighed softly.

"You still want to visit your brothers or just go home?" Ezra asked me. My wolf felt a little better at the fact that we would see our brothers again. I wasn't missing out

    My brothers stared intensely at Liam. They all looked like they were about to jump on him and beat him to pulp. I was nervous. I wasn't sure if they'd like him.My whole family loved Lauri — Beckett's mate — when she was introduced to the family. Would they like Liam just the same? I hoped they did. It would make everything difficult if they didn't like Liam."Well, yeah, I guess I am," Liam responded. I had already forgotten what Beckett had said to Liam. But seeing as they weren't growling at each other and trying tear out each other's throats, I assumed that it was a reasonable question."Ali! I missed you!" I heard a squeal before I felt arms wrap around me. I wobbled a little but caught the familiar scent of seaweed and salt water and I grinned. I spun around to face Lauri.She grinned at me and hugged me again. I tightly hugged her back and breathed her scent in. Lauri was one of my closest friends in Terialta. I didn't have many and she was absolutely wonderful.We had gotten a

    Time passed uncomfortably slow. I stood by the front door in Liam's arms, listening to the commotion outside as it unwrapped quickly. I didn't hear much talking, only loud growls and angry huffs. I heard snapping teeth, the sound of thudding in the dirt and grass and even a whimper or two.I wasn't even sure who was outside anymore. I stopped paying attention the moment I buried myself in Liam's chest. I didn't want to face what was outside. I didn't want to face the truth or any of the reality.I shuddered a little as I felt anger from several different wolves seeping through the front door. It was strong and felt like a damn firecracker. It was confronting."Woah, woah. Shit," Liam suddenly hissed. He released me quickly and sprinted outside. I heard his feet thudding before halting to a stop. I held my breath as I peeked around the corner.Liam jumped in front of Samaya, pushing him in the chest and away from the guy that he was shooting mental daggers at. I held my breath."Don't

    I woke early the next morning. I wasn't in a rush, so I took my time getting ready. I dressed and pulled my hair up into a ponytail. My beast was giddy for excitement. She couldn't wait to get back into our normal routine again.Most days, we hated the routines, but this particular day, we were especially excited to be getting back into it.I met Lila and Brayleigh outside. I grinned at Brayleigh and hugged her tightly as I bounded down the steps. We rubbed cheeks and I giggled happily. I had missed the female. She was a big part of my life now. I knew that."I missed you. It was boring without you around," Brayleigh told me. I exchanged glances with Lila, who's eyes widened as she laughs."Our time away with quite eventful. I wish I could say it was boring," Lila said with a chuckle. I nodded in agreement and stretched my arms. We were a little early this morning, despite the fact that I took my time."Yeah, Kade filled me in. I'm sorry about what happened in Terialta," Brayleigh tol

    I sat on the dirt and pulled my knees to my chest as I looked out over the water. The waves crashed against there shore and the rocky cliff. I watched, almost entranced by the beauty of it all.I sniffled and wiped my face. The tears hadn't stopped since I started crying about fifteen minutes ago. They just wouldn't stop coming. I felt like a damn waterfall.After the argument with Liam, I ran. I ran so fast and so hard that my legs felt like jelly when I finally stopped. I stumbled over when I started crying. I shifted back into my skin and realised that I'd run out so far that I didn't have any clothes to change into.Hence, the reason why I'm sat on the cliff with my knees pulled to my chest.I didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to go back to my cabin because I knew I'd have to face everyone there. Hell, Liam probably would've followed me all the way back to my cabin too.Who knows who would have shown up next? Probably Kade, and probably even Quo.I didn't feel like having

    I trotted into my room and frowned at the bear skin rug that was on the floor. I stared at it intensely, waiting for it to disappear, but it didn't. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I walked over to it and grabbed it off the floor.I shook it out to make sure that wasn't any dust on it and noticed the note taped to it.I'm sorry - LI huffed and pulled the note off. I breathed in deeply and let Liam's scent dance around my nose. He smelt magnificent and I realised how much I missed him. It had been two whole days since our argument. He hadn't spoken to me once since that, nor had I tried to speak to him.I folded the bear skin and sat on my bed, rubbing my hands along the fur. It was so soft and wonderful. I loved it.I missed Liam. I missed him calling me that stupid nickname and his hand in mine, I missed his warmth and his seductive smirk. I wanted to talk to him, and I knew I would have to eventually, but I could barely face him.If I were to speak to him, it would mean we'd have to t

    After my second run for the morning, I returned to where Alfie and I usually met. He was rugged up, warm inside his jeans, long sleeved shirt, hoodie and vest. He wore a beanie and had his fists shoved inside his pockets."You cold or something, Alf?" I cocked my head at him playfully. Alfie rolled his eyes at me and kicked his leg out. I dodged his foot and he rolled his eyes again."You'll be cold when I throw you in the damn river, girl," Alfie retorted. I smirked teasingly and crossed my arms as I looked around. There weren't many people training this morning. Not even Lila was out. She linked me this morning to complain that it was too cold to go outside."Bunch of babies. Half of them don't like the cold so they refuse to come out," Alfie muttered under his breath. I rolled my eyes at him.I felt Liam's presence before I actually saw him. He was around somewhere, and I felt his eyes on me. I sniffed but the wind confused my nose and I wasn't sure where he was standing.But I ign

    I woke in the morning to a painful burning sensation on my arm. I shot upright in my bed and looked down at my bicep. There was a mark on my arm, and my gut twisted in pain as I realised what it was. I wasn't stupid.Veronica was with Liam again.I looked next to me, where Liam had slept last night. He wasn't there anymore, but his scent was. I was covered in it and so was my bed. I felt more than relieved to have his scent around me. It was comforting.I sighed and got up. I got ready and then sat down on my bed to pull on shoes and socks. On my nightstand, I noticed a folded piece of paper.My beast purred as I reached for it. It had 'SUGAR' written on the front. It was from Liam. He was the only one who called me that. I didn't understand the nickname, but clearly it made sense to him. I kind of liked it too.I opened the note and read over it with eager eyes. Liam's handwriting with messy but easily readable. He was left handed, judging by the smudges on some of the words on the p

    "Ali, I'm so glad you're okay. I heard that there were rogues and I thought you were dead or something ridiculous!" Lucas' voice exclaimed as arms wrapped around me. I winced in pain as the male crushed my open wounds.He quickly pulled away, sensing my discomfort and I smiled weakly at him. Lucas looked down at me, studying me for injuries. Behind him, I saw Leon and Quo jogging towards us.Quo's father was the head tracker of the pack, and Quo was following quickly in his father's footsteps even though he was still a trainer for the warriors. I saw his nostrils flare as he began to sniff at the air."Follow the scent before it fades in the wind! Go! Go!" Henry shouted, waving his hand. Several wolves, including Quo rushed off, tracking the scent of the rogues.My mind was wild with thoughts as I watched everyone run around like headless chickens. No one was calm. Rogues had somehow made it into the territory without anyone noticing. It was almost impossible for it to happen.With th

    "Sleepy head, it's time to wake up," a voice pulled me from my sleep. "Come on."I groaned softly and rolled over, burying my face in my pillow. I felt hands shake my shoulder gently. Shocks and tingles made their way up my arm and torso. I smiled to myself."You have to get up if you want to see your brothers today," Liam told me. I sighed and shook my head."I can see them another time," I mumbled to him. Liam chuckled and pulled the blanket off my body. I kept my eyes shut."Sugar, I'll make you get up. You've got to shower," Liam said.After another ten minutes of him trying to get me out of bed, I finally gave up and got out of bed. Liam forced me in the direction of the shower and I walked into the bathroom and shut the door."You sure you don't need any help in there?" Liam asked me. I rolled my eyes as I turned on the water. My beast rumbled. She would love to be helped."Not from you," I replied cheekily. I undressed and then got into the shower.After showering and eating a

    Liam licked his lips as he dunked the plate into the soapy dish water. He scrubbed the plate and then handed it to me. I use the dish towel to dry the plate and then placed it back in the cupboard. Jenny was humming a song from the dining table. She was reading over the human newspaper whilst Ezra was playing a puzzle game on his iPad.I took another plate from Liam and dried it before putting it away. Liam flickered his eyes to me again and then held my gaze when I looked back at him. I raised my eyebrows at him and he winked."The bedroom is ours after this," Liam told me hotly. I widened my eyes at him and felt a tingling sensation in my belly."Then hurry up," I told him cheekily. Liam smirked and continued washing the dishes. We worked a little faster and then wiped down the bench."Liam, have you found out when that meeting is yet?" Ezra asked as we were about to leave. I held back a groan. I just wanted to spend some time alone with Liam while I had the chance.Cass and Leon ha

    I wiped the sweat from my forehead as I joined the group again. Lila held out her water bottle to me and I took it. I drank greedily and then handed it back to her half empty. She sipped it on slowly and flashed me a smile.The sun was beating down on us. We were all cooking under the bright rays. But it was good and refreshing. Plus, it was better than the freezing cold that we had just gotten away from. "You've all done great today. I think you all learnt something new out there. But now, to finish off the day, I'd like to get you all sparring with each other. I'll pair you up with someone and then you can all go straight to the rings," Quo told us. I grinned at Lila who looked straight to Lucas who was smirking mischievously. He wanted to try and kick my butt badly."Lucas and Austin," Quo said, beginning to read out the pairs. Lucas groaned and shot me a look. He jutted out his bottom lip and folded his arms. I giggled and poked my tongue out at him playfully."Lila and Kerri-Ann

    The first day of spring came faster than anyone anticipated. There wasn't anything more exciting to wake up in the morning to a warm breeze and a beating sun. It was relieving for the snow to have finally melted and for the warmth to have returned.No one wanted it to go away ever again.Not to mention, it was the day Liam was returning from a business trip and the day to get back into routine.Winter had been a train wreck. It was fine when it started in north with Liam's family. It was perfect, actually. When I returned, the first week or two had been a little rocky, but after that, it eased up nicely.I had spent most of the winter cuddled up with Liam in bed or on a couch in front of the fire. If I wasn't with Liam, I was with the girls. I felt like I was changing, becoming a different person.I felt like I was getting stronger, evolving and becoming a better wolf. I hadn't trained in months but I was stronger, mostly mentally. Ezra even mentioned to me often that my veins hummed

    I slowly treaded through the snow. My four feet were freezing from the crunching cold, but I barely cared. My heart hurt and I felt terrible. I felt like someone had repeatedly smacked me in the head with a brick and I felt like I could drop dead.I looked up as I heard voices. There were people walking around tending to their morning routines and duties. I noticed Alfie walking with a group of warriors and even Kade, Lila and Brayleigh by Lila's cabin. I wasn't in the mood for talking.I lowered my head as I walked. My fur was damp from the cold of the night before. I was cold and I needed a hot bath immediately."Hey! Ali!" The moment I heard Lucas, I turned sour. I didn't want to talk to anyone.I looked up and snapped my teeth at him as he bounded towards me. He stopped in his tracks and watched me pass him. I knew I would need to apologise later, and I would.I headed into the house, the door already open from where Ezra and Jenny were standing on the front porch. They watched me

    The blizzard was in full swing. The cabin often creaked against the strong winds and I even feared that a window would cave in and smash. But the cabin was sturdy and held well in the wind.The snow was falling hard. I was sure that by the morning, it would be too deep to walk in. The temperature had dropped wildly, and it was below freezing outside. But Ezra had lit the fire in the living room and the cabin was warm and toasty.I sat with Ezra and Jenny at the dining table and we began to eat. They were both quiet at first, exchanging glances with each other. Then, Ezra cleared his throat."Princess, did you speak to Liam today?" Ezra asked me. I shook my head at him, starting to eat my soup. The smells swirled around the room and my belly rumbled.Being angry at Liam was draining. We weren't arguing but the angry and upset feelings toward him were draining enough. My chest hurt and my head was spinning.The bond ached and throbbed. It begged for us to be together.Damn pull."No," I

    "Good morning, Alfie," I greeted the male as I approached him. He turned his head and looked up at me with a wide grin. I had missed him.Alfie pulled me into a tight hug. He held me close for a few moments before he pulled away and grinned some more. I offered him a smile also."Ali, so glad that you're back. It gets a little boring around here without your constant complaining," Alfie teased as I walked with him. I chuckled a little and rolled my eyes."Well you won't have to put up with me for much longer, since this snow doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon," I huffed out. I was bitter about the snow. I wanted to train and I wanted to get better, but I knew this winter was going to be a long one."Very true, kiddo. Where are you off to? There's going to be a storm tonight, I think," Alfie asked me. I smiled up at him and motioned towards Lila's cabin."Lila, Brayleigh, Cass and I are having a girls day," I told him. Alfie snorted at me. He shook his head and I giggle

    "Feeling better now, Ali?" Cass asked me as she brushed her fingers over my arm. I smiled and nodded at her as I sipped on my coffee. The female shot me a small smile and then begun to make her own coffee.After the incident yesterday, I stayed in the doctor's hut for a few hours before they let me return back to my cabin. I spent all day lying in bed with Liam who cradled me and stroked my hair. He licked my wounds and they had mostly healed overnight because of it.After dinner, Nicolas and Christian came over to talk to me about the incident. The tracker wolves couldn't find a single scent of the rogues. They had disappeared completely. Not to mention, the damn bodies had disappeared too. The first two rogues I killed were towards the pack more. Their blood was there, but there weren't bodies and their scent didn't trail off anywhere else. Someone had come through and taken the bodies without leaving a trace.It didn't make sense.Apparently, the rogue that they'd spared wasn't tal

    When I woke the next morning, Liam was still sound asleep. His arms were wrapped tight around me, his face nuzzled into the crook of my neck. His legs were tangled in mine and it felt good. He never let me go during the night. We always slept in each other's arms. It was perfect.I shifted a little and then I felt it. The stiffness of his pants.I shot my eyes open and tried to look back. Liam stirred in his sleep and moved a little. I felt his body push a little more against mine and bit my lip.He was hard against me and he was unaware. But I couldn't say that I hated it."Liam," I whispered his name. He stirred some more."Liam," I whispered louder this time. He groaned softly. Liam hated people waking him up. He was good at waking up early on his own, but otherwise, he sucked."Liam, I have to go to the bathroom," I lied. Liam sighed and kissed my neck gently before he released me. I jumped out of bed and rushed out the room, moving past the bathroom.I made my way into the kitche
