The rest of the evening passed by as a blur of anxiety and awkwardness. I found it difficult to focus on anything that was going on around me, I was so worried about shifting into my wolf. What if I did it wrong and ended up getting hurt, or even worse I ended up being the Omega I always thought I was going to be?

Jasper might not care if I end up having an Omega wolf but I was sure his parents would. They had plans for me and I wouldn’t be able to fulfil any of them if I was an Omega. For some reason, they were pinning all their hopes for the future of our pack on me taking the role of the pack’s next Alpha. It was a lot of pressure. I had never trained to take on that kind of responsibility and I wasn’t sure I even wanted to be an Alpha.

Jasper and Adam spent a couple of hours trying to keep me occupied by playing films and feeding me popcorn. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that their fussing was only making me feel worse. At times like this, what I really nee

    Jasper HartfordLizzy and I were tired from our run when we got back home, so tired that we fell asleep almost instantly. It was a shame, she seemed more confident when she started to tease me before her shift. I had been hoping we could come home and explore that newfound confidence together.Waking up slowly, I reached over to wrap my arms around her. It was strange, normally when I woke up Lizzy’s head would be resting on my chest and our legs would be intertwined. I was missing the heat from her body and the soft tingles I felt when my skin touched hers. Now that Lizzy’s wolf was awake all of these sensations were so much more intense and I craved her touch so much more.As I reached across the bed, I realised that Lizzy’s half of the bed was cold. My eyes shot open. She wasn’t in bed with me any longer, panic filled me as my eyes scanned the room. She was nowhere to be seen but her scent was still strong in the room so she couldn’t have gone far.Springing out of bed I followed he

    Elizabeth SummersI wasn’t sure I wanted a party throwing for my benefit but I couldn’t fault the pampering session that Jasper’s mom had organised for me. When I arrived at the Alpha’s mansion Patti was there waiting for me. She ran up to me, wrapping her arms around my neck and squealing excitedly.Jasper’s mom rolled her eyes and ushered us both upstairs to one of the spare bedrooms. At some point while I was gone it had been converted into some kind of beauty studio. There were dressing tables all along one side of the room and they were covered with more make-up and colours of nail varnish than I have ever seen in one place before. Patti looked incredibly excited when she walked into the room to see everything lined up and waiting for us, but I found so much choice a little overwhelming.I was so grateful to have Patti and Jasper’s mom here to help me because I felt more at home in a library than in a beauty studio. They knew more than I did about this kind of thing and Jasper’s m

    Jasper HartfordAdam seemed to do everything wrong when it came to his mate but I couldn’t fault his results. He had only been trying to win over his human mate for a few weeks and he had already marked her. So why was this so difficult for me? Lizzy seemed happy enough to be in a relationship with me but she seemed nervous about letting me mark her.Lizzy was tending to her friend, making sure she was comfortable on the bed. Adam was lying on the bed beside his mate and refusing to let go of her hand. Patti was already sleeping and she probably wouldn’t wake up again until the morning, at the earliest. It could be up to a month before her wolf would make herself known but she would start to notice changes in her body a lot sooner than that.Lizzy was adjusting the pillows under Patti’s head when my mom came running into the room with the pack’s doctor at her side. The young doctor tried to approach Patti but Adam growled at him in warning.“Adam, you are going to have to let the docto

    Elizabeth SummersWhen Jasper’s father told the whole pack I was wolfless I almost lost control of my wolf. Hazel was such a strong wolf and she hated the idea of anyone thinking of us as weak. She wanted to take over my body and show everyone exactly how strong we really were. I wasn’t used to controlling my wolf yet and had to use all of my energy to keep Hazel from pushing her way forward. That meant I didn’t have any energy left to argue against what Jasper’s father was saying about me. Perhaps that was what he was relying on when he came up with this plan.He took back his words after Frankie and his mom were arrested but it was too late. People were questioning my ability to be Jasper’s Luna before he said what he did, it was going to be much worse now. There would be people who would still believe Jasper’s father’s original statement and there wasn’t anything I could do to change their mind. If I shifted in front of them it would only raise more questions, and they weren’t ones

    Jasper HartfordLizzy’s head was still resting on my chest when I woke up the next morning. She was snoring softly and her legs were tangled in with mine. Our bond felt so much stronger now that we had marked each other and I couldn’t be happier. I wanted nothing more than to close my eyes and fall back to sleep for a few more hours in her embrace.“Jasper? Are you in there?” My father shouted through the door. Lizzy was starting to stir by my side, I stroked her hair to soothe her and keep her beside me.“I’m here,” I replied.“Good. I need to talk to you in my office, we have so much that we need to discuss.” His words were followed by the sound of his footsteps walking away from our room.Garnet growled in my mind. After claiming Lizzy and her wolf as his, he wanted to spend the whole day exploring our connection. He really didn’t like the idea of us being stuck in a meeting with my father, talking about war.‘We can keep him waiting for a little while.’ Garnet suggested. Without th

    Elizabeth SummersJasper’s lips moved slowly along my neck. We had only just made love a few minutes ago and yet his erection was already pressing against my pelvis. Over the last few days, since we had marked each other, we had been insatiable. The need to strengthen our bond was incredibly strong and we were both more than happy to give in to it.“We should probably start getting ready for college,” I suggested.It was the last thing I wanted to do but we had missed a couple of days already and we needed to at least try to get back to normal life. However, that would mean I would somehow have to keep my hands off him for a few hours.“No way. I need at least one more day before I am ready for that,” he replied, pouting at me.He leaned forward and pressed his lips firmly against mine while rolling me onto my back. As our kiss became more passionate I felt his weight on top of me. It was impossible to resist him now, I needed to feel him inside of me. I moaned and thrust my hips upwar

    Jasper HartfordLizzy had been quiet since the meeting with my father yesterday, I didn’t like it. I wanted her to tell me about how she was feeling, I didn’t like being shut out like this. It was my job to look after her, how was I supposed to do that if she wouldn’t even talk to me?One thing she had mentioned to me was that she was trying to think of a way of getting out of the arrangement my father had agreed to on her behalf. That was pretty much the only thing on my mind too. Even if I wasn’t a strong Alpha like my father, I still had to protect my mate from people who were trying to hurt and use her.“What is wrong with you? You have been distant all day.” Nico said as he sat down beside me. I had somehow made it to the last lesson of the day without really speaking to anyone other than Lizzy. Although I was disappointed I couldn’t make that last for just one more lesson. Also, why was my supposed future Beta the only one who couldn’t tell when I didn’t want to be disturbed?“It

    Elizabeth SummersThere was something off about Michael even though I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. He seemed to be nice enough as he spoke to me in the back of Jasper’s car but there was something in his voice that sounded put on and fake. Even the questions he was asking about my life didn’t seem to come naturally to him. He was acting like someone who was learning how to have a conversation for the first time.“What food do you like to eat?” Michael asked as he placed his hand on top of mine.Jasper sighed. I could feel his anger through our bond even though he was trying his best to hide it from Michael and me as he drove us home. He wasn’t trying hard enough though, we both saw him roll his eyes in the rear-view mirror. Michael smirked before turning his attention back towards me.“I personally like ice cream and cake the most.” He continued. Jasper sniggered.“What are you, ten years old?” Jasper replied.“That was mean. There is no need to be mean to me, I just ha

    Elizabeth Summers’ POVWe had only been at our new pack for a few days but it was already clear that it was going to take a lot of work to get this town back to its former glory. The town had been abandoned over ten years ago and a lot of the buildings were well on their way to falling down. I didn’t care about that though, this place already felt more like home than my old pack ever had. There was nobody telling me that my omega parents made me inferior to other werewolves. Everyone here respected each other and worked together. I would take that over the alternative any day. There was no denying that it was hard work though. There was so much physical work required to get the buildings fixed and then there was everything else that needed to be done. Our pack members needed to find paid employment and I had to spend countless hours forming alliances with the surrounding packs. It was exhausting. “What are you doing in here, baby?” Jasper asked. “I’m making you dinner.” He had bee

    Jasper HartfordI had been suspicious of the black vehicle following us ever since I first noticed it, shortly after leaving the forest. It looked like one of the cars my father would give to people who worked for him so I was sure it would be one of the pack’s warriors. That was until it continued to follow us for the next half an hour without trying to stop us or being joined by vehicles. If it was one of the pack’s warriors then they wouldn’t have let us get this far from the pack.“Someone is following us,” I said. Lizzy glanced in the mirror, I had no doubt that she recognised the vehicle just as I did because concern crept over her face.“What are we going to do? Can we lose them?”“I don’t think so,” I replied.I could try speeding but they would only increase their speed too. If they had been instructed to follow us then they wouldn’t let us out of their sight. Trying to outrun them was only going to endanger Lizzy’s life, I couldn’t do that when we were so close to obtaining o

    Elizabeth SummersJasper had spent the last week reassuring me that there would be at least a few Omegas who wanted to join our new pack. I never really believed him. I thought all of the Omegas in our pack would be too afraid of getting caught to take a chance on us, but as it turns out he was right.There were hundreds of them crammed into the small clearing we were using as a meeting place. Many of them were people who our pack had classified as Omegas just because one of their family members was an Omega. In most other packs they would have remained unranked and not had to endure the treatment that packs like ours forced Omegas to endure.They were probably coming with us in the hopes of getting a better life for themselves and their children. It was a huge risk on their part but I could understand why they would take it. It was probably the only chance they had of gaining their freedom, I would have done the same thing in their position.“Shouldn’t Sasha have arrived by now?” Nico

    Jasper Hartford“Did you pay attention to anything I said?” Michael complained.The answer was no, although I would never admit that to him. He was looking at me across the dining table as I was trying to eat breakfast. The smug look on his face was putting me off my food, and I could really do with having a good breakfast this morning.I was up till late last night finalising all the plans for our escape later this afternoon. I was exhausted, much too exhausted to deal with Michael’s bullshit. If he was going to insist on talking to me then I was going to need a lot more coffee.“Of course I was listening, you were talking about your pack,” I replied.It was a guess but it was a calculated one, he was always talking about his pack. Trying to convince Sasha that her life would be better if she came back to his pack with him. Not that he was planning to give her a choice. He had made it clear on many occasions that it didn’t really matter to him what she thought. He was going to take he

    Elizabeth SummersIf I thought Michael was annoying before he realised his ex-mate was here then I was mistaken. I clearly had no concept of how annoying Michael was capable of being. He was still following us around everywhere but now he was bringing a reluctant Sasha along with him. He kept one hand on her at all times even though it was clear to everyone else that his touch repulsed her.“Michael, please let go of me, I have to help with breakfast.” Sasha objected as Michael tried to pull her with him into the dining room.“No, you aren’t an Omega any more. You are my Luna.” Michael pulled her over to the dining table and sat her down beside him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and placed a kiss on her cheek. Sasha responded by shuddering and trying to put some distance between the two of them, I wasn’t sure if it was from fear or disgust. Other Omegas were flooding into the room, bringing everything we would need for breakfast with them.“I’m not worthy of being your Luna.

    Jasper HartfordMichael was quickly becoming the bane of my very existence. He was refusing to allow Lizzy and me any time alone together, yesterday morning he even managed to come crashing into our room while we were having sex. Lizzy was about five seconds away from reaching her climax when Michael broke the lock on our door and tumbled into our room. Lizzy screamed in frustration and threw the covers around us so he wouldn’t be able to see anything but she was incredibly pissed off with him. If she hadn’t been naked then I am sure she would have strangled him right there and then.Later that day, once I had managed to calm Lizzy down somewhat, I confronted him about it. He claimed that he had heard screaming and thought that I was hurting her. It was a clear lie, he was trying to do anything in his power to annoy us so that we would retaliate. I hated how close he was to getting what he wanted almost as much as I hated him.In contrast, my parents seemed to be completely enamoured w
