I stumble into my bedroom, collapsing against the door and gasping for air.

Had that really just happened?

I hold my hand against my still slightly bleeding neck, swallowing thickly and shaking my head in pointless denial.

Sebastian had just marked me, so I now bore two marks, which was not what I would call a good look.

I rush over to my mirror, grimacing at the state of my neck. He had really tore into me, I’m assuming to make sure it was more prominent than Killian’s on the opposite side of my neck.

Tears fill my eyes as I grab a tissue and try and wipe the remaining blood off of me.

I hear a knock at my door and I curse under my breath. “What?!” I call, an edge of irritation in my voice.

I turn around with a glare as my door opens. I’m surprised when it’s Camilla who enters my room. I softened my face a little, because at least it wasn’t who I had thought it was, Sebastian. I was ready to strangle him right now, so he’s lucky it wasn’t him knocking on my door.

    I sigh as I’m dragged away from where Camilla and Lucas are now talking to be apprehended by Killian. I had thought about wearing a scarf or something until I had the mental capacity to deal with Killian’s reaction to my new, very permanent mark, but had decided against it. Now I was regretting that choice a little.“What is this?” He demands again when we stop, and he shoves my hair out of the way to glare at the new mark on my neck. I had cleaned all the blood off, but it was still brand new, so there was plenty of bruising around the bite marks.“Sebastian marked me.” I say evenly, crossing my arms and watching his face for a reaction. Saying anything different would just make him think I thought he was stupid. Might as well rip this bandaid off, I guess.“I can see that.” He growls, his eyes flashing with anger. “And you let him?” “He didn’t really ask me, but it’s not like he forced me either.” I say a bit lamely. While it was true that Sebstain didn’t talk to me before sinking

    The next day was set to be an awkward one. The remaining members of Killian’s pack were traveling over from his land and would be here by tonight. When the official challenge ceremony for Killian and Sebastain did happen, all members of both packs involved were meant to be present. And who would want to miss something like this, anyways? It wasn’t every day two Alpha’s went head to head, with their packs as the collateral. I wake up early, earlier than Sebastian. I sneak out from under his arm and head downstairs, rubbing at my arms and trying to wake up. I hadn’t slept well, my mind was too busy feeling guilty over everything that was happening. It was hard not to feel like this was all my fault, considering the beef was over me. Denying it just felt… tacky. I sit in the kitchen, not even moving to get breakfast, just thinking about the day ahead for a few minutes/I get up and start making myself a bowl of oatmeal when I hear a door from upstairs, followed by footsteps coming dow

    “What if he’s annoyed to see me again so soon?” Camilla asks in a worried tone from beside me as we make our way to where Killian and Lucas were staying. “I’m sure he won’t be. Why would he be?” I ask, trying to reassure her. She’d been peppering me with anxious questions about Lucas the entire walk over here. Has he ever said anything about his mate? Has he had a lot of girlfriends in the past? What does his type usually look like?I answered all of her questions to the best of my ability, but to be honest, I didn’t know much about Lucas and his mate. Killian had told me he knew who she was, and she was even still alive. Apparently she just wasn’t interested in being with someone who wasn’t an Alpha though. Which was ridiculous, because Lucas was a perfectly fine mate to end up with. I don’t have the burning attraction for him that mates too so I don’t have too much gushing to do over him, I just know he’s a good guy. I didn’t tell Camilla all his business, just that he wasn't wit

    “Here they come…” I hear Killian mutter from behind me as we stand at Sebastain’s pack’s border. I nod a little as I start to see wolves slipping out of the trees. “Who’s bringing Eli and Ella?” I ask him as the few wolves sit in front of us, waiting for the rest of the pack members to catch up. “Ashton and his ducklings.” He replies, his eyes flicking over who had gotten there first. “They’re in human form though, since they had to carry the twins. So it might take them a little longer.” He shrugs a little and I nod. If nothing else, I was looking forward to seeing my kids. And, I was looking forward to the fact that no matter what happened today, no matter who I ended up being with, this would be the end of me not getting to live with the twins and raise them like I wanted to. If I had to stay with Sebastain, there was no way I could continue to let Killian keep them, only seeing them a couple times a month if I was lucky. I don’t know how Killian would feel about that, but hones

    I hurry across the pack lands, my mind whirling with thoughts of why the hell rouges would be heading this way for a challenge ceremony.How did they know Killian had challenged Sebastain? And what was their interest in it? Did they want to watch? If so, why? So they could take advantage of whoever lost? Or were they interested in being a part of the challenge? It wasn’t common, but more than two parties could participate, as long as the numbers from each pack were even. Typically it was a card pulled to save pack lives over a personal matter, because let's be honest, these types of things usually happened over something like what was happening now. Very rarely were these ceremonies held for something political or actually important. As I approach Sebastain’s house, the bad feeling in my gut intensifies. Especially when I get close to the front door and can already hear loud, angry sounding voices. “What right do you even have to challenge me?” I hear Sebastain asking someone in an

    “I just don’t understand who he thinks he is. Challenging you in your own home like that.” Even though for once I agreed with Serena’s whining, because it was her saying it, I found myself rolling my eyes at her slightly pompous statement. She had shown up a few minutes after Felix’s departure, saying she’d seen some dirty looking wolves running off the pack lands and demanding to know what was going on. I was sitting on the couch, Sebastian was sitting beside me, leaned forward with his hands folded, and his mother was pacing the room in front of where we sat. “I don’t see why you even accepted!” She huffs for what seemed like the tenth time, throwing her arms up in the air dramatically. “You are the Alpha of the strongest pack in the nation, you shouldn’t be lowering yourself to that dirty “King’s” level.” She spits out the word “king” like it left a bad taste in her mouth. I’ll be honest, her reaction was a bit… strange to me. I mean, I get her being upset about some big scary

    “We’ll need to move the ceremony outside, with the rogues joining in now there won’t be enough room outside.” I tell one of Sebastain’s pack members as I walk to the meeting hall with them at my side. They nod, and break away from me to hurry off with their new instructions. I don’t know how his pack had learned about the new challenger so quickly, considering it'd happened all of an hour ago. But as soon as I’d walked out of Sebastain’s house, the guards had immediately approached me, asking if it was true that Sebastain had been challenged by the rogue King. Then when I had started walking to the meeting hall to see if any of the committee members were lingering around, one of the event organizing pack members had approached, asking if the space we had planned to use for the ceremony would still work. They were who I was talking and walking with now.I hadn’t been able to find Sebastain again, I’m assuming he’d probably turned into a wolf and was tearing through his land somewhere,

    That night, we decide to have a party with both Sebastian and Killians pack. I had gone over to the house the committee members were staying in with Sebastain to discuss Felix’s challenge. They were are understandably shocked, and a little confused as to why Sebastain even accepted the challenge. They talked for way too long about it, but in the end, Sebastian said he couldn’t back out now even if he wanted to. The challenge had been laid out, and he had accepted of his own free will. The only way out was submission or victory. I again found myself worrying about who Felix really was as the committee members expressed their concern over Sebastain fighting him. Where did this guy come from? Why did he get kicked out his pack? Why did Serena and all the other committee members seem so apprehensive about Sebastain going up against him? What did they know that I didn’t? Lucas and Camilla had been the ones to suggest it (wonder why) and at first I’d been kind of against it. It had seemed

    I sigh heavily, letting another file I’d built for a new potential Alpha fall into the trash can. This one’s name had been Andrew Powell, a long residing pack member with good combat skills. When I'd asked around about him, all anyone had to say was good things, and everyone seemed to know him. With that in mind, I had eagerly pursued him, and of course, he was just as eager to accept the challenge.He’d started off great, doing his best to make a good impression. Then it was like something changed, and he let the mask drop. He started acting like he already had the Alpha title, parading around telling everyone what to do. So this morning, I’d brought him into what I was currently using as an office, and told him he was no longer being considered for the Alpha position. Of course he had gotten pissed, started telling me I wasn’t even qualified to make this kind of decision, and that maybe he would just take the title without my blessing. At least I knew now I was right in my choice.

    Was this how Everly felt when I had been unfaithful in our marriage? Did she too feel this sadness, this envy, this anger?All I could think about was hearing those words from her, “I’m pregnant. And it’s not yours.” Over and over again like a broken record.Pure, unfiltered rage courses through my veins as I stomped out of our house, swinging the door open so hard it cracked against the wall behind it. I ignored the stares from the pack members I’d had outside with Ella and Eli, and didn't stop to answer their questions of where I was going and if I was okay. The twins would be fine with them for a little, maybe better than if they were left in my care.Because I was anything but okay. My woman was pregnant with another man’s child, and I had a very good feeling on who’s it was. I could tell by her hesitation, the tone in her voice. It was that bastard’s, Sebastain’s. The image of them screwing pissed me off, and made bile rise in my throat. I didn’t even want to think about them

    “Hey, babe. How’d it go today?” Killian’s voice says in my ear through my phone. I swallowed thickly at his question, clenching the phone in my hand so tightly I was scared it was going to break. This was the part I was dreading. Killian and I were just reconnecting, and now I was about to tell him I was going to be gone for some undetermined amount of time. Not to mention… There was a baby growing in me right now. What if I was gone for months? I would show back up with a swollen belly. That would be nothing if not jarring. I mean, it’s not like I had cheated on him or anything. But I still felt guilty, horrible even, at the life growing inside of me. “It was okay.” I say, then fall silent. I know he’s waiting for me to tell him more, what I chose to do, because I hadn’t even told him my plan. It was kind of a last minute call. That, and I’m too weak. He had hugged me with such warmth before I left, kissing my cheek and telling me he couldn't wait for me to come home. “Uhm. I gues

    Three days later…For some reason, Sebastian’s pack land looked different to me this time around. It seemed less foreign, for sure. I had lived there for a while, and spent plenty of time wandering around. Less intimidating, maybe, now that I knew there was no scheming man waiting around the corner. I walked behind Adam and a couple other committee members who had tagged along, a woman named Marlin, a man named Thomas. This morning, Adam and them had shown up at my door, and told me we would be travelling here today, to announce my decision to the pack and appoint a new Alpha if my choice was to leave. He told me I could have them fight me or each other, do a poll, whatever I felt was the best call to pick the new leader. Sebastian didn’t have an official Beta, so while that would normally be the first logical choice, unfortunately it wasn’t an option this time around. Strangely enough, none of them had asked what I was going to do yet today. Adam kept eyeing me, like he was doubti

    Since returning to Kilian’s pack things had been… different. I was happy to be back with Killian and our kids. We were finally together, able to raise them side by side. I wasn’t having to look over my shoulder because I had to be on guard all the time, and Killian was paying me more attention than ever before. Apart from that, there were a few more serious things going on. For example, Sebastian’s pack was left without an Alpha. The committee members were breathing down my neck, telling me I either needed to relinquish my position over to someone else, or step up and take charge of the dozens of wolves looking for a leader. And don’t even get me started on Felix’s pack. They weren’t in my top list of priorities, I can't lie. Most of them had run off, only a few of the new members who had been forced into Felix’s pack had stuck around. Honestly, I had kind of been hoping Sebastain would show back up. I would be more than happy to hand his pack back over. I didn’t want it. I hadn’t

    The ride back to Killian’s pack was mostly quiet; he’d ask me something every once in a while, about the twins or his pack. But I think we both had a lot on our minds. I know I did. The car had dropped us as close to the pack lands as it could, and we walked the rest of the way. “God, I’m glad to be back in these woods.” Killian said as we walked along. He had his face tilted to look at the tops of the trees, and was smiling a little for the first time in what felt like forever. It was kind of cute, the way he was acting like he was literally being recharged just by being in his woods again. “What are you smiling at?” He asks me, bumping his shoulder against mine a little. I shake my head, and look up at him. “Just… happy we both got to come back here together.” I say. “Did you miss this place at all?” He asks, looking down at me. I nod a little. “Yeah, I guess I did. Or really I missed the good memories I had attached to it.” He nods along. “Like… Do you remember that one nigh

    A lot had happened since I had beaten both Sebastain and Felix. Most of which I wasn’t currently letting Killian in on. It’s not that I didn’t trust him or think he wasn’t capable anymore, but I knew he was hurt. And I knew only half of the pain he was feeling right now was physical. First of all, May reared her annoying ass in again. It makes sense, as she had been spotted previously hanging out with Felix, and had been acting suspiciously close with him before. But I was a bit surprised when his body was taken away by his pack members, and she surfaced through the crowd, like she’d been there the entire time. “Look who’s leveled up in the world.” she had sneered at me as she glared down at the unconscious Felix. She looked at me bitterly, like I had taken something from her. She had gone on about how this and this were supposed to happen, but now everything was ruined since I’d stuck my nose into everything. She said I was in the way, like always, and should’ve just learned my

    I always thought Everly had such a pretty side profile. I remember when I first started getting to know her, I would stare at her across the courtyard at our college, just watching her read or talk to someone. I liked the curve of her lips, the way her lashes brush the tops of her cheeks when she blinked.That’s what I was thinking about as I watched her talk to the doctor who had been taking care of me for the past couple of days. I was being released. My injuries weren’t all the way healed, but I was good enough. The doctor had actually said that. I wasn’t upset about it or anything, I was ready to get out of here as it was. I was still in Sebastain’s pack. Or I guess, Everly’s pack. We hadn’t actually talked too much about that little fact yet. I’d tried to bring it up a couple times, to find out what exactly happened. I knew the outcome of everything, but I still felt like I was missing a lot of important details. But whenever I did bring it up, suddenly Everly had to pee so

    Failure. You lost. Pathetic. You don’t deserve to be Alpha. These words are the only ones that fill my head as someone carried my unconscious body like a sack of potatoes. I didn’t know who it was, if they were taking me to finish me off or help me, but I didn’t care. I can’t believe I lost. My mind can’t quite put everything that happened in order, not yet at least. I remember the beginning of the fight, flashes of Everly’s anxious face watching me get my ass kicked. I remember… getting knocked down. Lots of yelling. But I’m not sure why… I couldn’t pick out what they had been saying. Sounded like a woman, calling someone a monster. But who would be yelling that, and why? And I remember opening my eyes for a moment, and seeing Everly kneeling above me, blood on her chin, and her eyes so, so worried for me. Why was there blood on her chin? “...you gotta open your eyes buddy.” Whoever that is sounds familiar. Lucas? He was the only one who would call me something like “buddy.”
