Maggie’s pov

Goddess, this clothing thing got out of hand. By the end of the day I had a whole new wardrobe. It was pretty expensive too, but I never spent money on clothing, so I think my parents wouldn’t mind.

I wondered what people would say at school tomorrow. Was it a big enough change that they would notice? I know I shouldn’t care. I should just feel good about myself in these clothes, but I secretly hoped they would notice. Really, I hoped Rain would notice, even though just thinking it made me feel dumb.

I saw how he only greeted Zuri. He didn’t say goodbye to me either and that should tell me enough. But for some reason it didn’t. Because I am a fool and that boy is too damn good looking.

On Sunday I spent the day with my family. Mom made a bunch of pastries for lunch and we spent the day picnicking and having fun. Dad and I sparred, while mom and Delilah talked. They all complimented my new outfit, which felt nice. I’m happy I get these days with my family, I know not ev

    Roman’s pov “It worked! I can finally go on a date with Zuri.” I told Rain. I just go a text from Zuri that Maggie called her excited about her date with Ari tomorrow. Rain didn’t seem happy for me. He looked sad. Shit. “Sorry, man. I thought you were okay with this. But if you don’t want me to talk about Zuri with you, then I won’t. It’s just I never had to do so much work to get a date. I’ve been texting her all day and me and Zuri made sure Maggie was at the bakery when Ari got there, so he could ask her out. And thankfully he took the bait. Maybe it’s the make-over, I asked Zuri to go shopping with Maggie. Honestly, I should be a matchmaker. Okay, maybe I shouldn’t, because my first match was between you and Maggie and that failed.” I was waiting for Rain to say something and he didn’t so, I just kept on talking. What was up with him? Was he really that heartbroken? He didn’t even say anything to Zuri or Maggie during lunch and only talked to Rishi or me the whole week. He kept

    Maggie’s pov “So Ari is coming over later?” Dad asked surprised. I laughed nervously, blushing most likely. “Yeah, he wants me to show him around. Apparently Asher is busy. Not sure why he can’t ask his uncle, maybe he’s busy too.” Mom smiled at me, “or maybe he likes you.” Dad growled, “you be careful around these alpha types. Especially from that pack.” “Troy,” Mom tried to calm him down, “he’s not Beta Tyrion. And he’s not like his grandfather either.” The pack that Ari belonged to had caused a lot of trouble in the past. Not only did Ari’s grandfather attack our pack and beat up his own son, Beta Damian. But once Alpha Jayden took over, he chose a Beta that kidnapped and tortured my mom. Ari was named after my mom, because my mom helped Luna Angelina and Alpha Jayden when Beta Tyrion tried to take over their pack. My mom wasn’t a normal werewolf back then, but a hybrid created by her own father. It’s a good thing dad has a great family, because mom’s whole family is dead or

    Rain’s pov “What the hell, Roman! You said Maggie was smart enough to see through Ari’s act?! I saw them kissing during my lunch break.” “So?” “So?! Would you want your daughter dating someone like Ari? For Goddess sake, he’s worse than you. He has a list! A freaking to-do list!” I yelled through the phone. “Rain, it’s late and I just had an incredible date with Zuri. I don’t understand why you care so much anyway.” I didn’t respond, too pissed. “Or is it because you like Maggie?” Roman asked as if he suddenly realized something. “Yeah, maybe, I don’t know." “You like Maggie! Well, then we better stop Ari before he takes things too far.” Roman said like it was no big deal. “I thought you didn’t care?” “I don’t care if Maggie choses to date Ari. But I always thought you and Maggie would work well together, why do you think I set you up in the first place?” I growled, “because you wanted to date Zuri. Goddess, you’re a selfish ass.” Roman laughed, “but an ass you’re willing t

    Maggie’s pov After kissing Ari in that alleyway, we got something to eat and then I said I needed to get back home. Ari wanted to join me, but I wasn’t ready. My body was, goddess, making out with Ari was great. But I knew it were just my hormones going crazy and the fact that he was so good looking. It also didn’t help that he was the only person, ever, to ask me out. Would I get another chance or would I have to wait to find my mate? At least I had the certainty my future mate would like me. But what if he didn’t?! No, I shouldn’t think of that. There were too many amazing love stories in this pack. Some were even movie worthy. So I’d get my happy ending too. I was sure. And I guess I was right, because just before I went to bed Zuri called. Zuri asked me to go the beach with her, after we both told each other about our dates. She said, it would be good to have some distance from Ari. To make sure I actually liked him and it wasn’t just his aura or the way he looked that drew me

Alpha Kendrick didn’t have an easy life without his mom there and turned into an asshole, -“ “Is that really the way you’re going to start this essay?!” My wolf Mae asked, shocked. “This is just a draft.” I replied annoyed, “I will make sure I take out all the “bad” words and will add a couple big words to make it look like I’m smart.” “You are smart.” “Thank you, Mae. Can I continue now? This drive is almost over and I don’t have much time to find a quiet place to right all this shit down.” “Fine.” Luckily mom and dad were too busy talking and my brother Keon was busy listening to his music. “So, after Alpha Kendrick and Alpha Osiris started fighting, Alpha Osiris won and took over our pack.

    Kyra’s pov Mom pulled me out of the living room and into the hallway, “Kyra Paige Becket, are you crazy?!” “What, mom?” “What?! Young lady, you almost rejected a future Alpha! You should get to know him first! Everyone makes mistakes, honey.” I rolled my eyes, “mom. Just a few minutes with him was more than enough to show me the type of person he is.” Mom looked at me, so damn stern. “I won’t help you with Gamma Talia, unless you give Ari a chance.” I shook my head, “what’s the point? If I do change my mind, which is highly unlikely, I couldn’t even train to be a Gamma. I would become a Luna.” Mom smirked, “well, if you’re not going to change your mind, then you won’t mind going on a few dates with him.” “A few?!” “If you go on ten dates, I will let you stay here as long as you like, to study under gamma Talia.” Mom said. “I’m eighteen mom. You can’t stop me from doing anything.” “I can ask Alpha Osiris not to allow you to stay. I won’t let you throw away a chance of true lo

    Ari’s pov I didn’t get what the big deal was? I was always going to stop seeing other people, when I found my Luna. I didn’t see the point in relationships, if one day I had to break it off when I found my mate. But I still had the desire to have sex with women. It almost became an obsession, getting as many as I could before I would have to settle down. Jasper growled, “you’re an idiot.” Well, at least he and Kyra had something in common. They both hated me. Jasper had always been upset with the way I conduct myself. Telling me I needed to search for my Luna. I am nineteen, it’s not like I have been wasting years of my life being single. And now, thanks to Kyra’s big and beautiful mouth, I had to have a meeting with my uncle. Who could be kind of scary. “Big bad Ari is scared of his uncle?” Jasper laughed. “Not scared, just curious what he has to say,” I lied. I don’t know why I lied, it’s not like Jasper can’t sense my fear. Growing up my parents let me get away with almost an

    Kyra’s pov I shouldn’t let Ari touch me anymore, I thought. Even though I used the sparks to my advantage, distracting Ari so I could flip him, it didn’t mean he didn’t affect me too. Ari wasn’t the only one that needed a cold shower. I got dressed and wore my hair down. I normally have it up or in a braid, but it was still a bit wet from the shower. “Or you just want to look nice for your mate.” Mae said. “I'll show him what he will be missing out on.” I replied. It was clear all Ari thought about was sex. Every sentence he said was flirtatious. Sex and someone’s appearance. That’s all that mattered to him. He drove us to a lunchroom I didn’t know. Hell, I didn’t know anything here. This was my first time visiting the Iron River pack. It was a cute place. Not too big and the food smelled really good. I wondered if they had cinnamon buns. They used to be my favorite, before Ari ruined that for me. No, I wasn’t going to let him ruin my favorite food. Every woman in the lunchroom

    Aaro’s povI shouldn’t have said that, but it was the fucking truth. No matter how much this wasn’t Storm’s choice any more than it was mine, he was still going to mark me against my will. Maybe if things were different, then I would have chosen Storm as my mate.I always hoped I would find my true mate, but that ship had fucking sailed the moment I was bought. Maybe even before then—maybe the moment I was brought to the damn school. It didn’t fucking matter anyway.I saw how my remark hurt Storm, and all I could think of to make this better was to ask him to kiss me. I knew it fucking made me feel better. More than better. The orgasm he gave me was out of this fucking world, and I just wanted to make him feel good too.I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing, but he seemed to enjoy it, and to be honest, I was enjoying it too. I didn’t think having someone’s dick inside my mouth would be fun, but hearing Storm grunt and hold on to my hair and knowing I was the one doing it to him was a

    Storm’s povI knew if I got pissed off, Aaro would stop telling me the truth, so I let her talk while inside of me a storm was raging. I wanted to go to the school and kill everyone who ever hurt Aaro. I wanted to destroy the entire school and get everyone out, but I knew I couldn’t. I was a fucking hypocrite. My father had bought Aaro for me and had funded the school for years. I didn’t realize where part of our money was going until I checked the books today. Our pack had been giving money to the Goldacres for decades. How could I say I would destroy the school if I still profited from it? If it wasn’t for the school, I wouldn’t have met Aaro.I wanted to be Aaro’s home, her safe place. She deserved that. Despite the fucked up situation she was thrown into, she was trying to do things her own way. She could have ignored my mother like the rest, but instead she decided to learn Dutch. The thing that bonded me and mam together. If Aaro was smart, she would have sucked up to Dad and R

    Aaro’s povEve explained the phone to me, but I still felt like a fucking idiot using it. She was so patient with me, but I knew if others saw me fumbling with the phone, they’d think I was raised under a damn rock. Everyone used technology for everything, and I felt like I didn’t belong in this world.To be honest, I don’t belong here. I belong with my sister; I belong back home.But a part of me wished I did belong here. That I could give Storm what he deserved. He wanted a real person who didn’t have that many secrets, someone who could be themselves around him, and I wasn’t that at fucking all. I had to think before I spoke, because otherwise I could reveal the truth."I really am sorry, Aaro." Eve said again.I shook my head, "don’t be. I’ll be fine."Eve sighed, "it can be really hard sometimes, Aaro. I try to put on a brave face for Storm. I don’t want him to feel bad for me, but it’s really lonely for me. I miss my family and just having a life. Don’t get me wrong; if I had to

    Storm’s pov"Aaro is bijna klaar; douchen liep een beetje uit. [Aaro is almost done; the shower took a bit longer than expected.]Mam laughed, "Ik zie dat jij ook ging douchen? [I see you took a shower as well?] She ruffled my wet hair."Dus? [so?]""Niks. Ik ben blij voor je. Ze is speciaal vind je niet? Ik durf het bijna niet te zeggen, maar misschien is zij je, - [Nothing. I am happy for you. She’s special, isn’t she? I am almost too scared to say, but maybe she’s your, -] " I stopped my mom from finishing her sentence."Mam zeg het niet dan!

Dad and mom fell in love when they were seventeen. Love at first sight, she called it, and then my grandfather got killed and my dad turned into a paranoid asshole. Too scared of what a true mate meant. He wasn't just scared of losing half his soul if his true

    Aaro’s povFucking phone. That stupid fucking phone. Phones didn’t used to be like this, were they? I remember mom and dad having a phone, and I sometimes watched videos on it or played a game. But this thing was totally different.I felt so fucking out of place. I knew nothing about this world. I guess that the school does this on purpose. Make sure to isolate the girls once they’re out of the school. Make sure we don’t know how to use technology to ask for help.We’re not supposed to tell anyone about the school, but even if we only wanted to help ourselves once we were out, we wouldn’t be able to. We had no one to turn to and no way to set up any support system. Maybe I should talk to Eve. She had been isolated, stuck inside this packhouse. She knows how it feels, and maybe she knows how to get out of here.I opened the stupid phone again, cursing at it."You better not fuck this up again. Send text to Eve.""Send text to Eve," the phone said."Do you want to join me and Storm for l

    Storm’s povI put Aaro on my lap and let her eat."So what’s her deal?" Cara asked, mind-linking me."What do you mean?""She seems nice, but is she like the rest? Does she want you because of your title?"I laughed, "no, she isn’t like the rest. Not at fucking all. I don’t think she cares about becoming Luna at all.""Did she have any say in coming here? Did her parents force her?"I sighed, "she’s an orphan. It’s fucking complicated Cara, but she doesn’t really have a choice. So I’m trying my fucking best to make everything not suck as fucking much."Cara smiled at me, "you want her to like you."Aaro started giving me bites to eat, and although it surprised me, I let her. It was fucking adorable that she cared enough to feed me."She likes you already. She was straddling you, and now she’s feeding you!" Cara shouted inside my head.That kiss was amazing. And when Aaro started moving her fucking hips, I went insane. If Cara hadn’t stopped us, I don’t know what would have happened. Wh

    Aaro’s povBrand was cool. He reminded me of my dad’s wolf, Logan. He was as fast as him, too. How would it feel to run as a wolf? Would I be that fast?It was easier around Brand because he didn’t talk to me and I didn’t have to pretend so hard.Even when I was myself, I still had to pretend. I couldn’t let anyone know my real name or identity. It wasn’t easy. I so badly wanted to tell Brand about Logan. I wanted to tell the girl in the orphanage more about Ero. And when we discussed our names, I really wanted to tell Peter what Aaro fucking stood for.It bothered me how scared everyone was. It was supposed to be like this. In my dad’s pack, people weren’t scared of us. And although my grandpa Os could be a bit scary, people respected him more than they feared him.Then he shifted back, and although Storm looked a lot better, like a whole fuckload better, I went back to pretending. Pretending that he didn’t look fucking good, and I wondered what it would feel like to touch him. Preten

    Storm’s povI tried to get some work done, but my mind kept wondering about tonight. What would be a good date idea?"Let me meet her," Brand said."And then what, have a picknick? It’s fucking freezing outside.""Please?" Brand asked and I think it was the first time he said please to me."I’ll see what I can do, okay, buddy?"Dad had given me her tracker information, and I felt like a fucking stalker, tracking Aaro’s moves. She went from the hospital to the orphanages, to lunch somewhere, and then to one of the elders' houses.When it was around four, I just gave up on working and decided to pick up Aaro early. I'm sure she'd appreciate it; I couldn't imagine spending the entire day with Ruby.I went to the O'Hares' home and watched as Aaro spoke to a young boy. He must be one of the grandkids or great-grandkids of the O'Hares. Mister O'Hare was 104 years old and looked no older than 70.When the boy saw me, he bowed his head and seemed scared. It was such an obvious contrast between

    Aaro’s povStupid fucking nightmare. I used to have them when we were younger. I would dream about Marco taking us away. We were asleep when he took us, but we woke up before he brought us to the man who transported us to the school.Doctor Marco had always been so kind to us, but suddenly he was cold. He ignored our cries, he ignored me begging him to let my sister go. In the end, he threatened to hurt Elora if I didn’t help him calm her down.He showed me bones and said they belonged to a girl, and if I didn't help my sister out of her pajamas and make her shut the fuck up, he could turn my sister into a bag of bones too.For years, I wondered what he needed the bones and the pajamas for. I thought he might have pretended it was one of us who died, so my parents wouldn’t come looking for us. Or my parents were dead themselves; there must have been a reason why they didn't find us. Auntie Kat was too smart to not see through Marco’s plan, I was sure. She was the smartest person alive;
