12 - Ryker I let off enough energy to sleep at least. I’ve never really had any woman capture my attention and oral s*x is just a form of tension release. Alphas tend to have a high s*x drive, so even at a young age we explore and test the waters. I spent more time alone in my room than anything, but many of my friends at school had plenty of stories. So I experienced vicariously through them. I was always pretty quiet about my personal life, you could never be too careful. Even with your closest friends, you never knew who might be listening in for gossip to spread and cause trouble. So I learned to keep my mouth shut and just listen. My friends took that as a sign of unacknowledged confirmation of conquests. I never corrected any of them. My bedroom antics are not as colorful as everyone says, but I’m also no saint. I just let the rumors work in my favor. I met with Edward this morning for breakfast and he looks a little worse for wear. I really think he has been holding out to ma
13 - KennedyI’m not totally over the attack on my olfactory nerves when the omega opens the door to my room to let me in. I stop dead again. I shouldn’t be surprised at the grandness anymore but my room is borderline ridiculous. I’m an 18 year old high school senior, I should not have a room that looks like this. I could fit two of my bedrooms in here and still have space and my room at home is not small.The forest green on the walls doesn’t make it feel confining, but adds to the overall feel of this place. All the furniture is a warm cherry wood. There’s a dresser and vanity on one wall and a very ornate desk on another. One wall is full floor to ceiling windows looking over the forest behind the packhouse. I discovered one window is actually a door that leads out to a balcony. Oh man, I may never want to leave. The view is endless and the smell of the forest is so calming and peaceful.Walking back inside I look at the massive king sized bed in the middle of the room. T
14 - RykerEdward’s celebration ceremony at dawn was heartfelt and moving. He really loved his pack and put his whole heart into its survival. His Beta introduced me as their new Alpha so there was a face to go with the name and the voice.I met as many people as I could and offered any who wanted to join me the option to run the pack border putting one final scent trail to secure the border before I returned home and as a final goodbye to Edward.Almost the whole pack joined. A few stayed back to watch the pups too young to shift, but it was powerful. A true statement of how tight this pack is. I shifted into my jet black wolf which is twice the size of their Beta and I know my wolf’s red eyes are terrifying. Many kept their distance, but didn’t turn tail and run. I’m not sure if that was out of loyalty to the pack or fear though. Once we were done everyone dispersed to their various parts of the pack and I headed to Edwards office with his Beta, Gamma and Delta.I sit behind the
PrologueWhat do you do when you're a human in a wolf pack and your best friend is the next Alpha? You join in that's what. Or you join as much as a human can. Kennedy and Jeremiah have been friends since birth. Their moms were best friends in college and passed on the friendship to their kids. When a tragic accident claims her parents but somehow leaves Kennedy alive and no family members will take on the burden of a teenager with no large inheritance. The one person closest to her mom steps up to claim her.Kennedy and Jeremiah have been inseperable ever since. She has spent the last two years learning pack ways and pack values, but is set on going to college and experiencing human life outside the pack she knows and loves. She’s a human and knows she won’t be a wolf’s mate. She is prepared to leave the pack and live in the human world. She aspires to take over the fitness studio her mom started with Jeremiah's mom. It's a legacy that keeps her parent's memory alive. She has
1 - KennedyThe peeling sound of screeching tires. A loud thunk and an explosion of glass. An invisible force throwing me forward. But no control over anything, nothing to grab as my hands fly through the air. I hit a solid surface and jolted up. I gasp as I blink my eyes open. I’m in my room. I am always in my room. I can still smell burned rubber and gas though. The pungent fumes still burn in my nose. This nightmare will never go away. It’s the same thing every night. It has been for two years. I take another deep breath in, trying to clear the smell from my nose and the sight from the back of my eyelids.My door bursts open and my best friend comes flying at me. At this point I think we should just share a room, with the amount of time he spends with me here. He says nothing, just climbs under the cushiony down blanket and wraps me in his arms, placing my head on his chest. His heartbeat and smell is comforting enough for me to fall back into a dreamless sleep.I have
2 - Kennedy“Hey Kennedy! Looking good girl! I think you get hotter every time I see you.” “Tommy. You saw me yesterday…at training…when I kicked your ass.” I didn’t actually kick his ass. I just didn’t get beat, and gave him a run for his money.“That’s better every time too.” He closes his eyes and smiles and we all just laugh.“You are so stupid!” I say to our future Delta. “Does that line work on any girls?’“I save my best lines for you, until I find my mate of course. Then I won’t need any lines, she will love me no matter what.” He puts his hand on his heart.“Lucky girl.” I pretend to vomit on Jason, who just laughs.“You’re lucky the Moon Goddess is going to force someone to be with you forever. Otherwise, I don’t know if anyone would put up with you that long.” Ben huffs a laugh. I don’t know if I have ever seen our tough-as-nails friend really show any emotion outwardly. He’s actually a really nice guy, when you get to know him, but to the outside world he’s stern
3 - Kennedy“So, the cat’s away. What are the mice going to do?” Tommy taunts.“This mouse has some homework to do and the Beta gave me something to test this weekend so we are playing hide and seek.” They all look up at that? Shocked faces tell me I am going to have to work for my freedom.“Not a good idea, Ken. You heard Jeremiah. He’s going to lose his mind if he finds out we let you off in the woods by yourself.” Ben tries to shut the idea down before we even start.“It was your dad’s idea! Come on Ben! Please?”“Uh, no.” “Jason, help me out. It was an assignment from the Beta, you can ask him yourself.”“I can guarantee that he would not assign you something the same weekend the Alpha, Luna, Gamma, Delta and Jeremiah are all gone. Even he knows what Jeremiah will do if any of us allow that. And he will be too busy running the pack for two days to supervise. Not a chance. I love you Ken, but I like my balls more.” He laughs.“Ugh, Tommy? What do you say?”“If they a
4 - KennedyWalking into the gym and flipping on the lights I, at least, think to warm-up a little first. I crank some angry rock music, grab a speed rope and start jumping to get my blood flowing and my muscles warm, still letting the rampant negative thoughts run wild. Weak, Orphan, Alone, Replaced, Unwanted. Just a repeating loop every time the rope hit the floor a new word would pop up. Once I had a decent sweat going. I moved over to the heavy bag, checked my wrapped hands and started running through our usual hitting warm-up then I just started wailing on the bag adding in kicks and full body movements, until I couldn’t feel my limbs any more. I stopped when I couldn’t push my body any further and leaned my forehead on the bag breathing hard. My weak human self doesn’t have the same natural stamina my werewolf friends do. Another wave of irritation washes over me. Not Enough, my internal voice taunts me.Ben walks up next to me in his own workout gear and hands me a water bo
