All I wanted to do was curl into a ball and continue to cry my eyes out but I couldn’t. Richard and Sofia needed me.

The first thing I did was get money from the safe as I had been told. Then I packed a a small bag of clothes, weapons and other necessities for me and my siblings. I also made sure to grab a few pictures of my parents as it would be all I could remember them by. I didn’t spend too much time looking at them and also avoided looking at my mothers body. I couldn’t afford to do either because if I did I would break down and be no use to anyone.

I was about to start pouring gasoline to prep the house for a fire when I saw Floofy-Miss-Floofyness. It was a dumb pink dear stuffy that kind of resembled a marshmallow. Sofia couldn’t sleep without it and Mom had made it for her. Even though it wasn’t a necessity I decided to make an exception. She had lost enough tonight, we all had, she didn’t need to loose this too.

After I finished pouring the gasoline I dropped several lit m

    THREE YEARS LATERLife after my parents died was hard. Being a 15 year old halfbreed, who had yet to get her wolf who now had to raise her younger siblings. Not impossible, just a hell of a lot more difficult.It definitely helped when my wolf Elly entered the picture. She was strong. Not surprising considering I carried beta blood. We began eating better as she could hunt faster than me. The heightened senses also made it harder for others to surprise us. We had many run-ins with rogues. Most were hostile, but a few were good honest people. We began travelling together and slowly we became a family. A pack. Eventually we found a relatively safe place to settle and begin a new life. We built houses, a school and even a hospital. Our number was made up of all kinds. It was mostly werewolves, but we also had quite a few vampires, witches and surprisingly a few hunters. Most of the supernaturals left due to corrupt leadership, being born rogue or being falsely accused. A good friend of

    NOVA’S POVBEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPI barely opened my eyes before once again shutting of my alarm. It was only 530 am and I didn’t need to get Sofia and Richard ready for school yet. If I was quick I would have time and frankly I wanted more shut eye.Stupid Clayton. He kept me up all night gushing about an invention Alexia made with her magic. It’s a thin copper coloured chain that apparently allows hunters and witches to join our pack link. It is also specially coded to each members DNA to keep enemies from stealing it.I’ve got to admit it sounds awesome. However would it hurt him to talk to me about it when the sun is up? I’ve got a seven year old and a three year old to take care of. But no him and his half nocturnal ass need to keep me awake too. He’s my best friend and Alpha but he’s also a huge fucking jackass. I was drifting back to sleep as I heard Richard’s voice in the room next to me. “Nona!!!!! I’m stuck! Nona help!”I reluctantly left my warm comfy bed before releasing my

    Nova’s POVOur pack house wasn’t as large as most pack houses, but our pack also wasn’t very large yet. I felt like this would probably change as we were getting new members regularly. After all most packs assumed all rogues were blood thirsty criminals. It was even rarer for a pack to admit multiple species. This made our pack a safe haven for any rogue supernatural or hunter who just wanted home.Sure some more progressive packs would let someone of a different species join but only if their mate was in the pack. However, Most packs would kick out members who had a mate from a different species though. What a load of shit! Every time I thought about that and how most of our members had been rogues for that exact reason it pissed me off!The pack house was roughly the size of a church. It had an open concept living and dining room with stairs leading up to the Alpha residence. Through a door off the dining room you had to cut through the kitchen to reach the offices of our ranked mem

    It’s now been a week and I had delegated my responsibilities to the other members of our pack. Clayton didn’t need to worry as much as Amelia being the Luna could easily cover for him. But it would not be fair to expect her to handle all our responsibilities. I also just finished saying goodbye to Sofia and Richard. Usually they make a big deal if I leave them with someone overnight let alone for a few days. However Amelia was their favourite person on the planet. Partly owing to the fact that they never seem to hear the word no from her. They even referred to her and Clayton as their aunt and uncle. So given who they were staying with they didn’t make a fuss. I started putting me and Clayton’s bags that Amelia packed for him in the trunk of the car. When I was just putting in the last suitcase when Clayton came out to join me.“Of course you only deign to show up when the work is done,” I say while closing the trunk door. Clayton sprouted a Cheshire worthy grin before telling me,”

    The first thing to capture my attention upon seeing the castle up close was twelve beautiful square towers that seemingly pierced the heavens. They were connected by reinforced wide walls and the whole thing looked to be made of white granite. Tall, wide windows were scattered across the walls in an asymmetric pattern. Along with symmetric hole, presumably for archers in the case of attack. Intricately decorated wooden doors marked the entrance of this gleaming fortress. Looking at it gave me a feeling of awe and intimidation.“I don’t know what’s so impressive about it. I prefer the forest around our territory”Elly commented in my mind. “Of course you do,” I mentally replied while internally rolling my eyes. I agreed that the forest around our pack was great but that didn’t mean I couldn’t appreciate the beauty of this castle at the same time. Walking, I took a moment to look at the courtyard as well. A large area to my left, with moss coloured grass had multiple warriors training a

    We had been exploring our rooms for ten or so minutes when there was light knocking at Clayton’s door. He walked to the door and upon opening it we saw a pretty girl with caramel coloured skin and curly raven hair. She curtsied in a simple baby blue dress before saying to Clayton,” I have the luggage of you and Beta Nova. Where would you like me to put it?” Clayton replied, “ Thank you for delivering them in such a timely and officiant manner. You can just leave them on our respective beds and we can unpack ourselves. The bags should have name tags if you have trouble figuring out who’s is who’s.” She nodded slightly before taking the bags off a trolley. Once she finished we quickly unpacked haphazardly not bothering to keep things folded. Both of us were too hungry to care much about our clothes getting creased. We started the trek down to the first floor for some food. I’m not sure what was cooking but it smelled delicious! I had never smelt something this delectable. The smell wa

    I didn’t think. I just pulled my arm out of his grip and ran. Elly was screaming at me for leaving our Mate but I needed to think.Yes, I want a Mate. However if my Mate was a guest here he was most probably a ranked member of a pack. In that case he would expect me to leave Ash Wood. This was something I really didn’t want to do. I already lost a home three years ago. I wasn’t prepared to lose another. Besides who knew if my Mate’s pack would let me bring my siblings. I would and could never leave them. I was all they had left and I promised Dad I would take care of them. I closed my mind to the pack link knowing that Clayton would try talking to me. Being Alpha he could still come through if he tried hard enough but luckily he didn’t. He knew me well enough to know I needed to be alone. After running outside I entered a patch of trees behind the castle before climbing up the tallest. I sat there in deep thought. I wasn’t sure how long I had been sittin

    I went back to my room after storming off. Clayton was standing there waiting for me by the desk. “ I could sense your distress through the link. I hope you don’t mind but I let myself in. Wanna talk?,” he gently inquired.“ I’m sorry I know I’m acting like an idiot. I hoped that my mate would be a rogue to join our pack or at least a non-ranked member if they had a pack. But just my luck my mate isn’t only an Alpha but he’s the Alpha of the Black-hide pack! The goddess obviously likes fucking with my life! Even if I can look past his pack I’ll need to leave Ash Wood. Who knows how changing things would affect the kids. And the second he knows who my parents are, he will probably decide to reject me! My grandfather killed his mother for Goddess sake! Plus I hear that both him and his father hate hunters with a passion. I’m a werewolf and sure hunters don’t have abilities but I’m still proud to be one. It’s the Order of Orion that are evil not hunters themselves. It’s b

    NOVA’S POVOnce I found Alpha Clayton a silly grin broke out on my face. Clayton had him tied to a pole with his hand behind his back. Even more comical Jon was as naked as the day he was born. Unsurprising he was not what you would call well endowed. He also had what appeared to be his own boxes in his mouth as a gag!“Having fun without me?” I asked Alpha Clayton.Clayton responded with a deep chuckle before saying, “You took so long I got bored. Now what’s this brilliant plan of yours?”I quickly unslung my backpack and began displaying the supplies I had grabbed. Their was a see through black thong, a garter with knee high socks, a maid style lingerie top complete with an apron. Clayton laughed harder and shook his head when he saw what I brought. He got me this as a joke a year or so ago in response to a monstrous size butt plug I got him. It’s now been an ongoing joke to get these dumb gifts between me, Clayton and Amelia. I had brought it by mistake after

    NOVA’S POVI was nearly in tears with anger as I followed Alpha Clayton’s scent. How dare he speak to me that way! I’m his Mate not his fucking slave! Also I more than earned my position as Beta. As I thought more about this one comment made by Alpha Jerk-face, aka my Mate, my thoughts became more and more intrusive. What if I’m wrong? Maybe I really am weak? My Mate did need to save me from those two Alpha’s after all….Elly spoke up in my mind, “That’s enough. First of all Alpha Clayton and Alpha Xavier would never give anyone such a high position due to nepotism. He cares too much for the pack to do something like that. Secondly their isn’t a wolf in our pack that is stronger than you aside from our Alpha. This alone shows that you have more than earned being a Beta. Not only that but our Mate and his wolf are going to have another thing coming if he thinks we will put up with being treated like property! If he continues with this we can easy reject him!”A

    Harvey’s POV Nova slapped me! I could hardly believe it. I was only explaining why what she was doing was wrong! ‘It doesn’t make sense…’Echo told me.‘I know! Why is she so angry, we were only speaking the truth!”‘That’s not what I mean,’ Echo continued. ‘You may not know this but the reason most she-wolves are submissive to their Mates is that their inner wolf wants to submit. If the she-wolf is rebelling against their Mate, they are also in hot water with their wolf. It is against their nature. Just like a male-wolf feels the pull to protect their mate, a she-wolfs instincts are to obey.”‘I agree that it’s strange that she’s resisting her wolf but like you said it’s not necessary unheard of. I just don’t know why this was her hill to die on. Her wolf might not even allow her to shift while giving her the silent treatment. I was only telling her the truth for Goddess’s sake!”Echo said, ‘That’s not what’s so weird about thi

    NOVA’S POVI practically flew through the halls of silver and gold. Past paintings, decorative tables and more than a few confused people. The look on the face of one lady made my day.I had turned the corner and ended up right in front of her before quickly dancing around her. She looked at me like I had grown three heads! I didn’t spare her more than a half hearted apology as I rushed to my room as fast as my legs would carry me.Finally after several minutes of running and many insults thrown my way I was in my room. I quickly grabbed the most embarrassing shit I could find along with other essentials and threw them into a small backpack. Once again I ran, but this time back to where I started. I found Paul and the rest of his party still there without Jon. Paul stopped me before I could follow Alpha Clayton’s scent. He spoke to me in a cautious tone, “ Look Nova. I know that Jon was being rude but is all this worth it? I had to mind-link Alpha Harvey to inf

    NOVA’S POVPersonally I hated this piece of shit who calls himself Jon. But we were in foreign territory. This meant that no matter how much I wanted to kill him, or watch Clayton kill him, it would most likely most likely come back to bite us and our pack in the ass.Reluctantly I put my hand on Clayton’s shoulder to get his attention. Clayton turned around to meet my eyes. For those who hadn’t seen him angry before I had to admit it was a terrible sight. His rage filled eyes were a dark blood red colour. His inch and a half long fangs, that usually weren’t there, had grown in response to the emotionally charged situation. When he noticed it was me his eyes softened slightly.Alpha Clayton had both werewolf and vampire blood so his inner beast was a hybrid. So when he got pissed enough his wolf/ vampire would surface. As a result Alpha Clayton’s wolf Xavier was a bit different than most wolves. He was much more cruel. Alpha Xavier spoked to me i

    NOVA’S POVWHAT THE HELL! No fucking way was I going to have bodyguards! Yes I got into a fight and was injured, but that didn’t mean I was some delicate flower! I could take the heat without wilting!I looked Paul in the eyes before getting into him. “Like Hell! I won’t be followed around by a bunch of glorified babysitters! Does Harvey think so little of me that he won’t even trust me with my own safety?! If he honestly thinks I’ll go along with this shit he’s sadly mistaken! He didn’t even have the balls to tell me himself! I refuse to be treated like some little twit that can’t handle herself!”I knew I was being a little unfair to Paul but I was pissed. Unfortunately for him the person I was actually mad at was absent.One of the babysitters spoke up rather angrily, “Who do you think you are! As the mate of an Alpha you should just do as he says. After all women are meant to be kind or gentle. As a women you shouldn’t fight at all.

    NOVA’S POV Harvey left shortly after making sure I was alright. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this. On one hand he did rush in to protect me, even if no protection was actually necessary. This should mean he accepts me as his Mate. However, he also left very quickly when he realized I was safe. It was almost like he didn’t want to be around me. This behaviour made me afraid that he is disappointed I’m part Hunter. Harvey didn’t act this way in our previous encounters. Maybe he just had something to take care of and I was simply jumping to conclusions. I decided to go with this option in my mind. It was definitely my most desired explanation at least.It was just me and Clayton now. He gave me an apologetic look before telling me, “ I’m sorry.”“Why are you apologizing?”Clayton answered gently, “ I’m your Alpha.” He momentarily paused before continuing in a more aggravated tone, “ It is my responsibility to protect my pack but I was fucking useless w

    HARVEY’S POVMe and Echo were for once in complete agreement as I rushed towards Nova’s scream. I imagined a million scenarios of what could be happening and what would happen to the person or people responsible. I bulldozed through the door right before Alpha Clayton. I saw Nova on the bed. She looked as white as a sheet, almost like she saw a ghost. Her eyes were moving the same way a hunted animals did when they realized they were about to die. My hackles continued to rise. I could physically see and even smell Nova’s fear. Knowing that MY Mate was afraid made me feel bloodthirsty in a unprecedented way. What was worse is that I couldn’t even identify the threat! I suppressed the urge to growl before asking Nova in the gentlest voice I could currently muster, “ We heard you scream. What happened?”Nova had now seemingly calmed down but at my question her cheeks immediately turned as red as an apple. She was even looking down at her lap. Why was she acting like this? I just wanted

    NOVA’S POVI could feel the wind in my fur and see the warm rays on sunlight reflecting off the leaves. Beside me was my mother’s wolf running with me. I had always wanted to do this with my Mom since I was child. She always looked so completely free when she ran.Too bad we could never do this. But that doesn’t make sense. We were running together now so why would a thought like that pop into my head? That’s when the forest seemed to darken almost immediately. The forest that was once beautiful and inviting had now become eerie. The leaves had disappeared from the trees. The ground was free of any sign on life. There wasn’t even a single hint that any animals would be around. The sky was the colour of blood, the sun that had previously brought a sense of security was now replaced with a moon of redder even than the sky that only seemed to make me feel uneasy.I turned to my mother to see if she could explain what had just happened.
