Blake's POV
It has been over a week now and she still hasn't woken up. Although her wounds were healing and she's starting to look like herself again, she still wasn't coming too. The doctor said he doesn't know why she's still unconscious, he doesn't know when she'll awaken. The poor girl, I knew I should have helped her long ago, but I didn't want to overstep the Alpha. Kyle has been more of a dick lately and I can't understand why. With Zoey not there to be his punching bag I guess he can't let out his anger. . . . .With everyone getting ready for the Alpha meeting that we were about to host, it seems they all forgot about Zoey. Except the maids that had to take over her duties. I can hear them in the kitchen bitching every morning. If things don't start changing around here I'll end up leaving. This has become my home, so it's the last thing I want but I can't stand the way they treat their pack members any longer. Time to have a little chat with Alpha Kyle. Walking up to his office I mind link him letting him know that we need to talk. He reponds saying he'll be in his office waiting. Coming up to the huge double doors on the third floor, I knock just so I don't walk in on him and some omega fucking on the desk like last time. "Come in Blake." he calls. Walking into his office I sit on the sofa against the far wall and lean back. "You look like shit my friend, what's on your mind?" I open my eyes to look at him walking around his desk and leaning on it, his arms crossed. He looks like any other Alpha tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. Nothing special about him. "Kyle, I know we've talked about this before but I just can't take the way this pack is any longer." rubbing my hand across my face I continue "you know I wasn't raised like this, hell you weren't even raised like this. I don't know where all this hatred came from for the lower level wolves but I can't take it any longer, things will change or I will leave." He looks completely taken aback. This is the first time I threatened that I would leave over the treatment of pack members. I've brought up the subject before but never this hasty. He runs the back of his neck and looks guilty. "I know things changed around here after the war, but this is uncalled for and you know it. The treatment your pack members receive is torture, especially Zoey." That one name set him over the edge. He huffs and walks back around the desk. "Blake I understand you come from a family of Alpha's, but you have to understand times have changed." he said, "after the war I realized how weak we were. My father was a strong alpha but he let his pack fall and I refuse to do the same." I've had enough of this. Jumping up I walk around and get in his face. "I know the hardship this pack went through, I helped clean it up remember? But I refuse to allow this treatment any longer." I yell in his face. "you will change your ways or I'm leaving and I'm taking Zoey with me. "I could barely register the punch he threw at my face before I smacked into the wall. "Your overstepping you authority, this is my fucking pack and I'll do as I please! As far as Zoey is concerned, she's lucky I haven't killed her already. The girl was found on our territory the night of the war and I know she was a part of it, therefore she will remain a slave for the rest of her days!". I looked at him shocked. I never knew where she was from just that she was a slave for trespassing. Shes only seventeen now so six years ago during war time she would have only been eleven. "Kyle, why didn't you tell me she was lost that night. maybe she was the rouge's prisoner as well, did you ever think about that?" I asked, "maybe she has a family somewhere that misses her and thinks she was kidnapped or murdered. The whole time, you've held her as a slave."He seemed to think it over and just shrugged. "Oh well, what's done is done. Now get out of my office." " Well, if this is how it's gonna be, I'm leaving. I leave in one week's time and I'll renounce my title as your beta and leave the pack for good!" I said slamming the door as I walked out. He knows I'm stronger and faster than him. I'm surprised he had the nerve to hit me. Well he'll be surprised, I ain't leaving by myself.Zoeys POV Falling into the darkness, I wonder what all she meant because I didn't understand half of what she said. Zara, who's Zara? "Me Zoey, nice to finally meet you." This voixe was coming from inside my head. "Zara who are you?" I asked not understanding why I could hear her in my head. "I'm your wolf, Im now part of you, we are two in one." she answered. Well that makes sence I guess..... I see a light coming at me fast. Well if I wasn't dead I will after I smash into the bottom. Suddenly all I feel is pain, everywhere all over my body. "Zoey it's because your back in your body, it's time to wake up now." Zarah said. Slowly, waking up, blinking my eyes, trying to adjust to light I take a look around. Why am I in the pack hosital, I wonder. The memories start coming back. Being attacked, meeting the Moon Goddess herself and Zara. "Zara can you hear me, are you there?" I ask her, but get no response. Sitting up slowly because of the pain, the door opens. The pack
Blake's POV I was in my room packing when the pack doctor mind linked me. "She's awake and alert Beta." that I was not exoecting. I stopped what I was doing and told him I was on my way. Took my about 5 mintues to walk to the pack hospital. It was pretty much right next door to the pack house. Everyone greeted me when I walked in, just ignored them. I needed to talk to Zoey while she was awake. Arriving at her door, I took a breath breath and knocked. "It's open." came her voice from the other side. Here goes nothing. When I opened the door she was sitting propped up on a mound of pillows and eating jello. Couldn't help but to chuckle to myself. She gave me a werid look when I pulled up a chair beside her and sat down. "I have a few things to talk to you about, now that your awake." I said. She tilted her head to the side as if telling me to go on. "Now for starters, the night you were attacked. Do you remember anything about it?" She seemed to think for a moment befo
Zoey's POV "And then nothing after that, I woke up here." Blake sat there quietly and listened to me tell the events of that night and didn;t say a word. I always liked him. He was the only person in this pack that ever treated me like more then a slave. Everyone hates me because Kyle convinced them I had something to do with the attack that killed half the pack. I didn't though, I was merely a orphaned child who stumbled across the wrong land, at the wrong time. He sat there staring at me, not saying a word. His brown hair hanging in his green eyes. I had to admit he was good looking. "I have a question for you Zoey." he said. "I"m leaving within a week, and I know you've wanted to leave for awhile, I was thinking that maybe you could come with me." I was not expecting him to say that. I didn't even know how to respond to that. Of course i wanted to leave, but to where? "Where are you going?" He said he was going pack to his old pack. Now tell me why I didn't even think of t
Three days later, I was finally being realeased. I was in the bathroom connected to my room, changing out of this stupid hospital gown when I looked into the mirror. Staring at myself I realzied I looked differnt but not in a bad way. My raven dark hair looked more alive and brighter then ever before. My green eyes were popping against my pale skin. My usually bruised arms and face were completely clear. For the first time since I can remember, I looked decent. Not anywhere near beautiful like a normal she-wolf but diffently better then I normally did. Throwing on the shorts and tank top that Blake had brought me the day before, I walked out and threw the hospital gown into a can by the door. A knock at the door grabbed my attention. Answering it Blake was standing there with wheelchair. "What the hell do you plan on doing with that?" I know damn well he did not plan on putting me in there. "The doctor and I have decided it would be best if we fake your recovery. Have you stay hiddd
Blake's POV We had just stepped foot out of the hospital doors, when I noticed Zoey was crying. "Hey now what's wrong?" I ask. I don't have a clue what just happened. She was completely fine and now shes sobbing. Like really sobbing. She shakes her head and doesn't answer me. I mean i guess if she ain't gonna talk to me I ought to just take her home. The walk didn't take long at all but i realized Zoey couldn't stop her head from moving. Trying to look everywhere at once. "What's up with you, your actting strange?' I can see her wipe her tears away before she turns and looks at me. Well not at me move like at my chest, for some reason she won't ever meet my eyes. She took a breath deep and said "I can't remember the last night I've been outside during the day. I can't remember the last time I've felt sunlight on my skin." Well that would explain the sobs. I dont say anything just start walking slower as I make our way to the house. Once inside i push her to her room, or I should
Zoey's POV Four day's, four fucking days. I'm gonna be locked away in here. At least it will give me time to adjust to the fact I was finally getting out here. Yet, that thought scares me so much. I don't understand why though. All my time here as been torture, between the daily beatings, the starvation, and the touching. I prayed everyday I would be able to finally leave and now that I am, I'm super nervous. Werewolves aren't supposed to be like this. We are some of the most powerful, beautiful creatures on earth. We're suppose be living our best life's, yet I've never had that. I don't remember much before I came here, just that I was a orphan. Then made into a slave here. I crawl onto my cot and try to remember everything I had dreamed about in the hospital. The moon goddess and her realm. I know it was a dream now because Zara ain't here. She's not real. The dream felt so real though. I felt like I was connected to Zara already. Now I'm back to being alone, at least until Sunday
It's been two day of nothing but this room and I'm over it. I would rather being doing chores then locked away. At least when I could leave my room I could also sneak out at night and enjoy the forest, enjoy the moonlight. Blake has been by three times a day, just like he said bringing me food. That's the only person I've seen since I've left the hospital, besides wa;ling to the pack house. God, what I wouldn't do to sneak out one last night. I would if everything wasn't at stake. I can't risk getting caught, not being able to leave with Blake, I just can't. Two more day's, I can last two more days. Blake has been telling me little by little of what his plans are when it's time to leave. He's gonna go meet everyone and start saying goodbye. Once he renouces his title that cut's his ties with Kyle, he is gonna send me a text. I'm to meet his brother at the bottom of the steps with whatever I'm taking with me. Once his brother loads me in the car. He will tell Kyle that he is leavin
Finally today is the day. I've waited my whole life for this day. The day that I would leave this shit hole to start a new. Blake came by last night and told me everything I would need to know to get out of here. He's gonna shoot me a text before he breaks his ties with this pack. It's only 5am, but I'm so excited I can't sleep. Maybe it's just the fact that I feel like something is gonna go wrong, and I get forced to stay here. My stomache is turning, I feel like I'm gonna puke but it won't come out. I'm just laying here staring at the ceiling in the dark when I hear footsteps. Hmm... Blake shouldn't be there this early but maybe he forgot to tell me something. Not even a knock. I'm sure it's Blake, why did he just stop walking and not even knock. Before I can hollar out, my door knob slowly starts turning. This boy sure is drawing this out. "Will you just come on in already, I know you here." I say and giggle to myself. This boy is not sneaky, I'll tell ya. It's takes a s
Blake's POV After getting ready for Zoeys surprise party, Pasiley just told us about it. I walk into the foyer, noticing I'm the only one here. Joey comes down not too much later, matching me in a black tux, with a white button-up underneath the jacket, which he closed. I decided to leave my open. He walks up to me, wiggling his brows. "You ready for tonight bro, you know there is bound to be a bunch of mateless she wolfs." Rolling my eyes, I don't even reply. He knows how I feel about touching another she wolf before I find my mate. It ain't happening. I'm saving myself for her and her only. I don't even reply, and I just turn towards the elevator when I hear it ping. The doors open to reveal dad standing there in a black tux also, except he paired his with a matching black tie. He steps over and grabs both our shoulders. "Boys this is a very important night for Zo, and I don't want either one of you fucking it up. You both best be on your best behavior." Rol
Blakes POV Pay grabs my elbow and tells me that since Zoey has Uncle Mike to escort her to the party, I could be Pays escort. All four of us walk outside in the afternoon soon sun and see a huge black hummer limo sitting in the drive way with 2 men standing beside the back door. Has we begin walking down the front steps into the drive one man who I now see is Andrew, one of the pack warriors opens the door. His partner Liam, is also one of the pack warriors. I'm assuming this was also Pay's doing. I don't know how this girl can plan a party this quick but she did. With all the bells and whistles. From the decor inside, to the food, the clothes, and now the limo that is being driven by two pack warrios. I can only imahine how this venue is going to look. Not nearly has good as Zoey looks, that's for sure. I knew she was beautiful, but having seeing her cleaned up and dressed up for the first time ever. I could see
Seems like hours later that Pay told me I could get up to see how I look.All three ladies were working on me at once to get it done faster. The nail tech even put my shoes on after she was done with my pedi. Standing up, I almost fall over. Never having worn heels before, I didn't exactly know how to walk in them. Pay gives me a hand and helps me catch my balance. "Don't worry, babe. You'll get it in no time. Let's have a looky Lou real quick, then you can walk around the room while I get touched up." "I don't think I'll ever get used to this. These things are huge, Pay. Did you have to go for the tallest pair?" Looking down at the gold heels, I realize they might actually only be about 2 inches tall. Looking up at her, I just shrug my shoulders. They felt tall, ok. She stops just before the floor-length mirror in my closet. "You look absolutely amazing Zoey, if you dare mess up anything we just did, I will kick your ass. Now take a deep breath and have a look." She steps as
Standing in my closet, I look at myself in the mirror. I honestly can't believe that she would even remotely think I would wear this dress out in public. I shake my head while pulling the dress off. Laying it back across the island. I pull the red dress on, stepping over to the mirror to take a look. Oh my God..."That's it, that's the dress. Zoey, you're wearing that one for sure." Zara popped out of nowhere, saying. Apparently, she loves this dress as much as me. Looking at the mirror , I'm still completely blown away. It has one strap only, hanging off my right shoulder, not a deep neckline, just a decent amount of cleveage. A slit that stops mid thigh, again not too much skin. I turn around to admire the back, and it's open from my neckline all the way to the top of my butt. To be honest, I even like that. Taking a deep breath, I decided to show Paisley since I could hear her in my bedroom, making as much noise as possible. Like I wasn't coming back. Opening the door, I step
Sitting down at the bar, I decided to at least enjoy this food. grabbing a little bit of everything, I start munching. Blake and Pay are talking about Saturday and what's left to plan there, etc. All while I'm sitting quietly, stuffing my face. I know I'm looking like a fool. When I finish I put my plate in the sink and decide to find the head trainer to get my laps out of the way so I didn't have to do it tomorrow after training, but Pay stopped me. "Um, excuse me? Where do you think you're going? You need to change before we do anything!" Looking down at my outfit, I ask, "What's wrong with this? I missed training and am heading over there to start my laps." Pay gets up from her stool, grabs my hand, and starts pulling me out of the kitchen. "Actually, you don't have laps. It's your birthday. You get the morning off. Besides, I have a ton of stuff planned today, and you need to change into appropriate attire." Plans? "Appropriate attire? To do what exactly?" I ask while follo
Beep...Beep....Beep....Rolling over in bed, I slam my hand around on the bedside table until I find the alarm and hit the off button. Well today is finally here, my birthday. I can officially find my mate today. I couldn't dread it anymore then I do. God, I hope I don't find him today, I don't need all that right now. my life is just getting good. Rolling over in bed I snuggle under the covers, I wonder how much trouble I would be in if I skipped training today. I never skip training so it shouldn't be too much. I do everything I'm asked and more. Besides it's my birthday. My bed just feels too good to leave. Yep! I'm going back to bed, the most that could happen is having to run extra. Plus I know Paisley is planning something so I'll need the extra rest to deal with whatever it is. Totally worth it. I'm going to sleep in today. *. *. * Come eleven a.m. I'm awake, turning the shower on. I figured I might as well. get completely dressed and ready for today. Coming downs
Zoey's POV Training kicked my ass today, with being late and having to run the extra miles. I had just finished and was walking to pack house to shower when I seen Paisley walking into house. She was with about four other people, they were all carrying bags and boxes of stuff. Damn that girl really knew how to shop. I started walking slower in the hops that I wouldn't be dragged into helping carry her shit inside. I was just to tired, plus needing a shower and food. God I was hungry, AGAIN! After they all went inside, I gave it another minute, then went it. Being as quite as I could I made my way upstairs to my room. God these stairs sucked, but I didn't want to use the elevator, it was loud when you're trying to sneak in. Walking into my room, i starting ripping off these soaking wet clothes, making my way to the bathroom. I turned the cold water on and stepped into it. The heat was about to kill me. I wonder why no one ever talks about all this when your getting ready to
Blake's POV Tomorrow? Was she serious? No wonder she ate that plate in under a couple mintues. She honestly told me not to tell Paisley too? They've become best friends, there is no way I can keep this from her. She would literally kill me. She has been waiting her whole life for her eight-teenth birthday, to be able to find her mate, to live happily ever after. Like a fairy taile in a story book. Then, to top it off, we have the ball this Saturday for unmated wolves. I have this inky feeling that she won't want to go either. Yup, need to tell Paisley so she can plan a little something for Zoey, plus help her find a dress for Saturday. We can go together if anything. I mind link Pay and tell her to meet me at the packhouse sortly, that I have some news she would be very interested in hearing in person. Within ten mintues, she busting in the door as I am finishing up the dishes. We have house keepers but I do my fair share of cleaning up after myself. "Where you at Blake
Zoeys POVI wake up Wednesday morning at five am. Training starts at six so I still need a shower, before I can think about breakfast. For some reason it seems like I can never stop eating. After a quick shower to wake me up. I put on a black sports bra and matching spandex shorts. I tie my hair up in a high pony and slip on my Nike's. I jog downstairs to the kitchen, almost running into Blake rounding the coner. He saves me from falling by gripping my shoulders. "Wow there killer, slow down. Where are you off to in a hurry?""Oh, sorry. Training starts at six. It's five-fourty five now. I'm starving and need breakfast before getting my ass kicked."Laughing he pushes me to one of the bar stools. He sits me down then grabs a plate and pushes it infront of me. Oh hell yeah, bacon, runny eggs, toast, hashbrowns. I'm in heaven!I smile and start breathing in my food. "Damn Zoey, if you were that hungry, you should have been down here sooner." He's staring at me. Great.I swallow,
