"I said I don't want to talk about it, Neo!" I sighed, pulling my legs up under me as I watched the world whizz by through the passenger side window.
"I didn't wanna drive three hours to get your ass out of trouble again, but shit here I am, sis! So how about you drop the attitude and start telling me what the fuck is going on?" Neo scoffed, his eyes briefly leaving the road to check my reaction.
"Damn, big brother, how long has dad been dead, three months? And already you are sounding... just. like. him." I muttered, squeezing my legs tighter to me and rubbing my sore wrists.
"Sky, look..."
"No, you look, Neo, my boyfriend just had me arrested on some bullshit charges that meant I spent hours in that shit hole, being strip searched and questioned, only for the bastard to drop the charges and demand I was released. So how about you let me sulk a little while longer." I snapped moodily.
"We are wolves, Sky; we see each other naked all the time." His only reply and it infuriated me.
"Our kind sees each other naked daily; you are right, Neo. But if you had spent any time with humans, you would know it isn't a normal fucking thing, and neither is spreading a girl's ass cheeks to see what she may be hiding! It wasn't just a usual Thursday afternoon training session; it fucking sucked!" I grunted, but I could see from the tension in his jaw he was pissed. Well, good, now he knows how I feel.
I had been dating Rik for just over a year; we weren't fated or chosen mates, but he was a good distraction from the misery I had left behind.
"You missed the turning!" I barked my head, snapping around to look at our exit, then back to my brother's stern face.
"I didn't miss anything, Sky!" He muttered, switching the radio on: like that would silence me. Leaning forward, I flicked it off and turned in my seat to face him. Waiting for an explanation when one didn't come, I sucked down a breath and tried to soothe my nerves seeing us join the highway. The sinking feeling I was about to be forced to come face to face with that misery gathered in my stomach.
"Where are we going?" I asked, feeling unease start to spread through me.
"Home!" He gibed like I had asked the world's dumbest question. Fuck I had forgotten how arrogant my brother was, and with Dad dead, his authority transferred to Neo here, and it seemed his arrogance had grown, as well as his fucking enthusiasm for pissing me off.
"My home is back that way, dickhead!" I seethed, kicking the dashboard in frustration.
"It's a fucking rental, Sky! Have some respect! And.. No, your home is back with your pack." He finished glaring at my feet as I scuffed them over the dashboard to get a rise out of him.
"No, brother.. that shit is your life! Not mine!" I growled, wondering momentarily if I would survive if I leapt from the car right now. As if sensing my thoughts, the doors clicked shut, and I sighed, glaring at my brother with unwavering hatred.
"No!" My wolf whispered meekly. Growling at her, I shoved her back down. I hadn't heard a peep from her for months when I needed her; I certainly didn't need her now.
"I am done with this shit, Sky! You are bouncing from one bad relationship to the next, with fucking humans of all things. You have been home once since Dad died, and that was for three hours for his funeral, then you were gone. You can't avoid your duties forever; it's time to return! You need the structure, the routine, and you need.."
"A mate?" I scoffed. "Go on, say it, I DARE you!" I laughed, my eyes narrowed dangerously on my brother, who had cost me the only mate I ever wanted with his petty jealousy.
"...Fuck sky, I don't know what you need, but I know what you don't, and that is whatever the fuck we just left back there."
"You don't get to decide what I need, Neo!" I grumbled again, pulling my legs under me, feeling like the same 18-year-old I was when I left five years ago. Hating that, for the first time in months, I had allowed thoughts of the past I was determined to run from to filter back into my head.
"Yes, Sky, I do! Because I am.."
"My brother, fuck off, Neo. What is this? The 1500s!" I laughed, rolling my eyes angrily.
"Your Alpha, Sky! Because I am your fucking Alpha, whether you like it or not!" He roared, slamming his hands on the wheel. "As your Alpha, I get to make this call, and I want you back where I can keep an eye on you."
"Control me, more like!" I growled, crossing my arms over my chest, already planning my escape.
"Someone needs to take control, Sky, or the next time I am called up here, it will be to bring you home in a fucking box!" He sighed, his hands gripping the wheel tighter until his knuckles turned white.
"Dramatic much?" I asked with a scoff, but I felt my lips pull into a tight line, not sure how I felt about my brother's apparent care for me; he hadn't cared for me or my feelings before when I told him I had found my mate! No, he had been angry that I was selfish enough to fall for his best friend! Even more enraged that his best friend liked me and fucking LIVID that the moon goddess saw fit to make us mates!
The night of my 18th birthday, when I got everything I ever dreamed of, or rather who I had always dreamed of... My brother, who sat opposite me now pretending to care, had demanded I reject him! And when I hadn't, he had made sure HE rejected me by offering him a deal he could never refuse.
"And what about Z, Neo? Tell me, brother, how is your Beta?" I asked, my tone laced with venom. My brother's eyes lifted from the road to meet mine, and I thought I saw a flash of remorse for a second before it vanished, his eyes turning hard again.
"Fine. Z is fine!" He uttered.
"He is lying." Evie wolf piped up, making me wince.
"I don't care." I rasped back, not liking her newfound voice.
"Now who is lying?" She grunted, before disappearing again.
"Whatever." I announced aloud to Neo before turning to look out the window. His snort of amusement was the last conversation I would have with him on the topic of Z.
Prick!

SKY POVLuckily, the remainder of the three-hour car ride had been painless. Neo had remained silent, no doubt sulking over the fact I wasn't jumping for joy at being dragged back to the pack, and I had imagined hundreds of ways I could kill my big brother. Things had always been like this between us. I was the annoying little sister he never wanted and certainly didn't ask for; he was my big brother. Who, until I left, I had idolised and wanted to spend every minute with. My father and I were close growing up, and I did not doubt that if I had gone to him and told him about Z being my mate and Neo's offer, he would have kicked Neo's ass and demanded we be allowed to find our way. But honestly, the second Z paused even for a second to contemplate my brother's offer... I was done. I knew my worth! At least I did back then!"I truly do just want what is best for you Sky!" Neo relented as we pulled up to the packhouse. Scoffing, I turned to look at him through strained eyes and nodded
The Beta's Salvation Three
ZEKE POVI stood on the porch watching Sky and Neo walk towards the packhouse. She was just as sexy and spirited as I remembered, although her beautiful brown hair was now a stunning shade of soft pink. Seeing her again was like a punch to the gut. My wolf, Payne, was instantly in awe of her, demanding I claim her and forget the past. But I knew Sky well enough to know she wasn't the sort of girl to take demands well. I felt my lips twitch at the corners as they walked; my eyes couldn't help but follow the sway of her hips and the curve of her ass. She was going to be the firecracker the packhouse needed, that was for sure."Mine!" Payne growled low. "I am not so sure about that, bud." I sighed, my eyes still glued to her ass."Mine." Payne, a wolf with a limited vocabulary, insisted again with a growl; this time, however, I felt the growl rip from my throat, the sound catching the attention of Sky and Neo, who turned to face me, neither looking impressed."Down, boy." Sky taunted,

SKY POVI took the stairs slowly; thanks to the wine, my legs were a little more shaky than I would have liked. 'Lightweight', I teased myself as I reached the top floor and had to use a wall to steady myself feeling weak from the lack of food, sleep and long ass drive. Approaching my old room, I took a deep breath and paused before entering."I am not sure what to expect anymore," I admitted to Evie, not expecting an answer; after all, I had been horrid of late. I didn't want to come home, but now I am..." I let the sentence drift off because I wasn't sure I wanted to admit that I found myself caught up in a mix of emotions. I was enjoying the nostalgia, but with it came the pain of betrayal and doubt."Maybe Neo has turned my room into a gym. Or a sex dungeon." I mused with a scoff."Lord knows he needs some kind of relief," Evie added with a grunt herself."Did you just crack a joke?" I asked my usually shy wolf, amusement lacing my question."No. I was being serious." She laughed,
The Beta's Salvation Five
SKY POVI lay down in my bed, the window open, feeling the cool breeze on my olive skin. The scent of last night's rain that still clung to the wood wafted through the window, bringing back memories of him. I moved my legs over the soft blanket beneath me, letting my mind drift to the last time Z and I were alone together when he claimed to love me deeply. Our playlist played softly in the background, each song a reminder of our youthful growing love.I closed my eyes, twirling my long pink hair with one hand, and drifted into my thoughts. I pictured him in bed with me, his one green and one blue eye gazing into my blue hues as we both smiled. Our love was so new and fresh, yet it felt ancient, as if we were lovers in a past life.I could almost feel his hand moving along my thigh. I thought back to the last words he spoke to me before I left, "I will love you to the day that I die." I smiled as my own hand moved along my bare thigh, feeling the soft skin as his hand would have. I bit

Zeke POV "So, how was it?" I asked, knowing my sister May had been out with a 'friend' last night. I had meant to call her first thing, but with Sky's arrival, I had gotten a little sidestepped."It doesn't matter now." She muttered. However, I got the distinct feeling it did. She had agreed to go on a date with a guy, and I knew last night was the big night despite her trying to hide it from me; I had heard about it through the grapevine."You mean, the man you pay to watch her?" Payne grunted."Yes." I replied unbothered. I didn't like that she had hit 'that age' when dating was not just socially acceptable... but expected. She was all the family I had, and I wanted to wrap her up in cotton wool, mainly to save me from having to break pack members' legs for mistreating her. "Z." She moaned, letting me know I was not paying attention. "Sorry." I chuckled and returned to doing my big brother duties of listening to her recount her disastrous date. And like every big brother who had

SKY POVLeaning back against the door, I took a few deep breaths to calm my racing heart. Bringing my hand up, I looked at it; the tingles from where Zeke had touched me were slowly subsiding. I had forgotten how powerful those sensations were, how they shot through me like electricity. Slowly, I relaxed, hearing him walk down the corridor, still on the phone to his mystery girl. A girl I claimed not to care about."You know you have super hearing, right? If you had just piped down, I could have given you the answers without the theatrics." Evie, my wolf, funnelled into my mind."And where's the fun in that?" I retorted with a snort that was anything but dainty, which earned me a sigh from Evie. "You still have feelings for him," she stated matter-of-factly. "Feelings? Like indigestion?" I shot back, trying to deflect with humour. Evie wasn't having any of it. "More like the heartache you pretend doesn't rip through you every time you hear his name."I pressed my lips tightly toget

SKY POVA dull throb started to knot between my legs as I waited for my conditioner to wash out. I tried rolling my neck back and forth, hoping the water would ease my frustrations-."Like that will help!" Evie snorted somewhat aggressively. "There is only one thing that will relieve the persistent hunger growing inside you," she added with a scoff."Fuck it." I whined as I slowly slid one hand down my burning flesh. "Is the shower really this hot?" I moaned, checking it quickly, only to hear Evie chuckle like a clown. "It's you." She laughed as my hands continued their trail down my suddenly scorching body and between my legs to the source of my irritation. Reluctantly deciding to finish what I had started, and Z found so amusing. I touched my bare pussy for just a moment, relishing the thrill of Z potentially knocking on the door again and catching me in the act. "Maybe he will join us!" Evie called out to me from the back of my mind. Although, her voice was barely audible over th
The Beta's Salvation Nine
SKY POV "Well..." Evie probed as I chewed my lip, letting my words and fears take up more room in my brain than they should right now. Now, I was about to get off, and if Z was the image that was getting the job done, I seriously needed to focus on the job at hand and switch my overthinking brain off. "Good girl." Evie praised sarcastically as I let my right hand wander up and down my stomach, touching lightly at my boobs in the process. "Fuck you!" I laughed, a smirk playing on my lips as the heart began to smoulder between my thighs again. Squeezing firmly on my right breast, I let out a little cry as I gripped the nipples between my forefingers and thumbs and began tweaking my rock-hard nipple. "I seriously do have a great rack." I laughed as I looked down at the girls; they were large and perky and fell just in the right place. I had a tattoo; it was some sort of mandala tattoo that sat perfectly between my breasts. A chain followed the curve under my boobs with little gems an

NEO’S POVAs I sat at the head of the long, ornate dining table, my blood boiled beneath the surface. The scent of the lavish meal in front of us wafted through the air—roasted meats glistening under the chandelier, vegetables seasoned to perfection, and decanters of wine reflecting the flickering candlelight. But despite the exquisite setup, steam seemed to rise not just from the food but also from my head, my temper simmering just beneath the surface.I glanced at my watch without needing to; I knew exactly how late she was. Thirty-three minutes. Unacceptable. Punctuality was non-negotiable; any deviation was an affront to my authority. Sky's tardiness was a blatant disregard for both, a direct challenge to the structure I enforced within our pack.As I stewed in my growing anger, vivid fantasies of retribution played in my mind—dragging her out by her hair, locking her away until she learned obedience. The image of her, forced to submit and behave, the harsh discipline stripping aw
The Beta's Salvation THIRTEEN
SKY’S POVFalling into step with the female pack member my brother had been dating when I left, I eyed her with a mix of curiosity and intrigue. This wasn't the Lucy I remembered. When I had left, she was loud, confident, and absolutely fearless—the kind of girl who commanded attention just by strutting into a room. But the girl beside me now was a shadow of her former self: meek, nervous, and so jumpy it was as if she expected the ground to swallow her up any second."What happened to you?" I asked, my eyes locking onto hers as I tried to decipher the changes in her demeanour."The same thing that happened to you," she laughed, but it was hollow, without joy. She picked up her pace, almost as if she was trying to escape from her own words. Confused and a bit alarmed, I tried to follow her through the crowd, calling out to her like a dumbass."Lucy, wait!" But she didn't stop.There was something big here, something I was missing, and it nagged at me, tugging at the edges of my conscio
The Beta's Salvation TWELVE
SKY'S POVStanding on the wrap-around porch, I gazed out at the rolling landscape, trying to take deep breaths. The vast expanse usually brought me comfort, but tonight, it felt like a bitter reminder of my isolation. The moon hung low and heavy, casting an eerie glow over the fields that seemed to stretch into infinity. How had my only remaining family turned out to be so cruel and twisted? Why had the moon goddess seen fit to give me a mate who seemed just as heartless? A cold breeze whispered through the tall grass, sending a shiver down my spine. I felt a deep pang of disappointment—things were turning out exactly as I had feared. I knew I shouldn't have let my guard down, even for a moment. I knew better than this; it was just like them to kick me when I was down.As I stared into the distance, my eyes caught the flicker of lights and the distant hum of laughter. Narrowing my eyes, I smirked slightly, seeing some of the pack members heading into the woods. They were around my age,

Sky POV"He isn't going to thank you for this." Evie warned as I sat on my bed and listened to Neo's voice filtering through the door. I knew it was him without even needing to see his face or hear his voice—the desperation was like a signature scent. "He is such an insufferable dick, though." I muttered weakly. I couldn't help but feel a wave of disdain wash over me. "Do you not think he is trying?" Evie questioned as he reminded me of the time, again. "Nope, I don't trust him, not with his polished Mr. Nice Guy act." I explained because this crap he was pulling barely concealed the machinations underneath."I hope you're wrong." Evie expressed, but I could tell from her tone that she agreed with me. To make him think I couldn't hear him, I turned on the hairdryer, the loud whirring sound filling the room. I wrapped myself in a towel, my hair blown out in loose waves around my shoulders. Checking my phone, I smiled, seeing I had two minutes to get dressed and go down the stairs.
The Beta's Salvation Ten
Neo POV Sitting in the dim light of my room, the only glow came from my laptop screen, flickering images of discipline and control from a site not known to the softer souls of our world. "Reform and Remold," the website promised, a place for werewolf alphas to send their wayward sisters, daughters, and female pack members to learn obedience, far from the forgiving eyes of their families. The camp, masked as a reformatory institute, was nothing short of a prison, its programs designed not to nurture but to break.As I scrolled through the testimonials, a twisted part of me lit up with a perverse satisfaction. The descriptions of the camp's regimen detailed a tortuous journey through rigorous physical trials that pushed the inhabitants to their limits, breaking them down to rebuild them as submissive members of their packs. Mentally, the training was even harsher, with techniques that bordered on psychological warfare, stripping them of any defiance or personality traits deemed undesir
