~Flash Forward 15 Years~

          As the Symphony’s 16th birthday rolled around, she had managed to excel in anything she put her mind to.  She rarely saw Alexander anymore, which was weird as far as she was concerned because she used to spend every day with him.  He had made himself scarce for the past few years.  One thing she did remember is that he never seemed to age, maybe it was a Lycan thing.  All she really cared about was the party that she had planned with the help of Sarah, her nanny.  She was able to see Alexander long enough to ask him if she was allowed to have a party since she had started school.  He reluctantly agreed if she only invited her close friends.  He knew she was a popular girl in school because of her kindness and did not want too many people finding out what she actually was.  She had already started showing her abilities and he had to let her teacher know what she was before questions started being asked.  He was able to have her put into different classes that would help control her abilities.  

The day of the party arrived and once again Alexander had made himself scarce.  Gavin was present as always; he went everywhere Symphony went.  She didn’t like the fact that she had a babysitter everywhere she went but when she questioned Alexander, he became incredibly angry with her, and she never said anything about it again.  As Symphony got ready for her party, she heard a knock on her bedroom door and as she opened it there stood Alexander holding a small present.  She let him in and gave him a quizzical look, he wasn’t one for presents.  

“Alexander, I didn’t expect to see you today” Symphony said

“I wanted to give you this before I left on business” Alexander replied handing her the gift.

She slowly opened it, and it was a long box.  She opened the box and inside was a necklace with a wolf howling at the moon.  She squealed and gave Alexander a big hug.

“Can you put it on me?” she asked, and she held up her hair.

Carefully Alexander clasped it around her neck. 

“Be good for Gavin and Sarah and have fun at your party.  I will be gone for a while this time so stay out of trouble.” Alexander said as he turned to leave.

Symphony sighed, Alexander was her guardian and saved her from goddess knows what, but she never could understand why he was so cold.  She had asked around and knew he was not known for his kindness so when he saved her it came as a shock to everyone that knew him.  He was known as being a monster to those that disrespected him.  He was feared everywhere, and he hated wolves.  From what she had heard any wolf that he came across he either killed or tortured.  She figured that's why everyone was so surprised he had saved her; she was a wolf not a Lycan.  His entire kingdom was Lycan.

She shrugged her shoulders and finished getting ready.  She knew that her guests would start arriving shortly and she didn’t want them to have to wait for her.  She had learned that it was never good to have the guests waiting for the host.  With one last look in the mirror, she thought she looked pretty good.  She had chosen a blue summer dress with flats and had her hair pulled back into a ponytail.  She opted to not wear makeup.  She had a smile on her face and made her way down the stairs to the ballroom where her party was being held.  

She smiled when she saw the decorations that she had chosen and thanked Sarah immensely for helping her.  She looked around the room and saw Gavin, her trusted protector, standing against the wall.  She noticed the buffet table and made a mental note to thank the kitchen staff for doing all of this.  Over by the present table sat a beautiful 3-tier cake with the numbers 16 on top, she about cried.  As she surveyed the room again a knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts.  The guests had started to arrive.  She straightened her shoulders and headed toward the door.

As she opened it, she saw her best friend, Fiona, as well as 15 of her other friends and classmates.  She ushered them in and directed them to the ballroom.  Fiona stopped as the rest of the kids went into the room.  She gave Symphony a hug and handed her a small bag.

“Gifts can go on the table, Fi” Symphony said

“I know that, but I wanted you to open this in private” Fiona said with a grin

Symphony opened the bag and there were a few things in there including a small square box.  She looked at Fiona with a questioning look.

“Open it Silly” Fiona said laughing

As Symphony opened it her eyes started to fill with tears.  It was a bracelet that had a locket on it and in that locket was the first picture that Fiona and she had taken together when they became friends.  She gave Fiona a huge hug and said thank you.  The girls then headed into the party before they were missed. 

          The party went off without a hitch and everyone had a wonderful time.  It was close to midnight when Symphony finally got everyone to leave.  She thanked them all for coming and gave Fiona a hug when she left.  She went back to the ballroom and started cleaning up, taking her gifts upstairs.  By the time she was done it was close to 2AM and she was exhausted.  Looking at the pile of presents in her room she decided she would open them and then go to bed.  

          She sat on the floor opening the gifts one by one.  There were soaps, perfumes, scarves, and candy in them.  She smiled as she opened each one, her friends knew what she liked.  As she came upon the last one, she noticed that it was wrapped in plain brown paper and had no name on it to tell her who it was from.  She shrugged and started to open it; it was a box which she thought was weird but opened it anyway.  When she opened it, she screamed, inside was a bloodied note stuck to a picture of a wolf.

The note read: “We know your secret, little wolf.  Your big bad Lycan can’t protect you anymore.  We are coming for you”

As she finished reading the note Gavin burst through her door.  She stared blankly at him, white as a sheet, and he saw the package in her hands.  He grabbed it, looked over the room and took the package and left.  Symphony heard him on the phone with someone she assumed was Alexander.

“We have a problem Boss.  You need to get back here ASAP” 

Gavin came back into the room doing one more sweep.  Once he was satisfied that no one was hiding anywhere he looked at Symphony with sad eyes.

“What does that mean they know what I am. I am just a plain wolf” Symphony sobbed.

“I don’t know but I will find the underlying cause of this.  In the meantime, I am having guards stationed around your room and you are not returning to school until this is resolved” Gavin said sternly.  

          Symphony sighed and headed to her bathroom.  She shut the door and turned the water on in her shower, she got it as hot as she could stand it and got in. After her shower she got ready for bed.  

“Happy Birthday to me” She thought as she climbed in bed

Sleep did not come easily.

    When Alexander got the phone from Gavin, he was not happy. He knew that Symphony would be found out eventually, but he was not expecting the message that she had gotten. He had immediately cancelled the meetings that he had and rushed home. When he got there, he was met by Gavin and was handed the package that Symphony had received. The writing looked familiar to him, but he couldn't place it. No one was supposed to know Symphony even existed and thought that this was a mistake.He had Gavin look into the security cameras to see if he could find anything while he put his best trackers on to see if they could pick up a sent from the package, unfortunately there was no luck on either front. He was getting angry and the Lycan side of him wanted blood. He knew after Symphony turned 16, she would be having her first shift at any time, and he wanted this person caught before then. He headed up the stairs towards Symphony’s room and could hear her crying softly. He stopped at her d

    The next morning, Symphony woke up and every muscle in her body was sore. She recalled what had happened the day before and shuddered, she hoped that since she had her first shift it would be less painful next time.“It will get easier, sweet child” Starlett said to her. Symphony jumped a little, as she wasn’t used to having this voice inside of her head yet. She sighed and started getting ready for school. She hated Mondays and knew today was going to be worse because of all the extra guards that would be stationed around the school. She decided that even though she showered last night, she had time to take a nice hot shower this morning, hoping to relieve some of the soreness from her body. When she finished her shower, she did her hair and brushed her teeth. She took a minute to look at herself in the mirror, she didn’t look any different since she got her wolf, but she felt different.“Just wait, you will begin to experience the world in a different light not that

    ~A little bit about Alexander’s History ~When Alexander was born you would have thought that someone had died. His father was the king of the Lycans, but his mother was just a servant who had won the king affection. His father was already married of course so when it was found out that his mother was pregnant it did not go over well. The king and queen had tried for many years to have a child to no avail so when Alexander came along the queen wanted him and his mother dead. Fortunately for both Alexander and his mother the king was having none of that and sent them away for protection. Alexander and his mother hid for years until the king had died and seeing how he had no legitimate children of his own, the crown passed to Alexander. The Kings most trusted guard knew where to find Alexander and his mother and brought them back to the castle.

    Damion, Alexander’s uncle, is known throughout the world as being the guy you call if you really need help. Alexander has never had to call him for anything and even if he could have used his help, he didn’t want it. Damion is his father’s brother and surprisingly enough hated what Alexander’s father did to him and his mother. He was nasty and ruthless when he needed to be but had a soft spot for his nephew. While Alexander waited for the call back from Damion, he let his mind wander to Symphony. He hated the fact that someone was trying to get to her, granted he was no better than the ones after her considering that he killed her parents and kidnapped her for her power. Things had begun to change in his mind about her since she was growing up. Yes, he knew that she was powerful in her own right and would make him unstoppable but there was something more happening. He wasn’t sure why but since she first shifted there had been a nagging feeling in his chest that he sh

    The following days became a waiting game for Alexander. His uncle was getting in touch with a friend of his that could cover Symphony’s scent and maybe help with the attacks. Thankfully there hadn’t been any attacks or anymore threats while she remained at home, its almost if they knew she was with Alexander and would be harder to threaten. Symphony was starting to go a little stir crazy. It had been a week since the attacks at the school had happened and she missed her friends. The teachers had emailed her all the work that she was missing, and she had finished all that within the first few days. She was on to reading the books in the mansion’s massive library. She was able to find a few books on Lycan’s and werewolves but nothing that could help her find out who was behind her attacks. She also knew that Alexander and Gavin were on edge too because they were grumpier than normal, with each other anyway. Alexander wanted to tell Symphony everything, about

    It had been a few weeks since Alexander had received the phone call from his uncle and was starting to get impatient as he waited. His uncle was supposed to be showing up after the cloaking was done to make sure that it worked. Alexander was starting to become very annoyed, and it was starting to be noticed by Symphony. He just wanted her to be safe and protected.Just as Alexander was getting ready to call his uncle and ream him out for taking so long, there was a knock at the door. He opened the door and there was his uncle with a big smile on his face. “Took you long enough” Alexander said to him trying to hide his anger.“I am sorry about that, but it took a little bit to gather all of the things that were needed” Damion told him “But it worked. I wasn’t able to smell Symphony’s scent at all on my way here, from the border to the house it was as if it just disappeared.”Alexander was relieved to hear that but was still getting over his frustration of it taking so long.“I am

    Alexander knew that what he had told Damion and Gavin was a lot to take in. He knew now what he did back then was wrong but it couldn’t be changed. He still had the plan of making Symphony his but he didn’t think it would be by force this time. He had a feeling that Symphony would become his willingly if he asked her. While the three men sat in the office in silence, they had no idea that Symphony had heard everything and had ran away. Damion was in shock at what he heard from Alexander. He knew the story around was that someone had killed the Alpha and Luna and their daughter had been taken but never in a million years did he think that Alexander had anything to do with it. He knew that Alexander had killed her parents but he didn’t realize who they were. He knew Symphony had power just by her scent, but he didn’t realize why she had her power but now he did. He almost felt bad for helping Alexander with all of this, but Symphony was just an innocent bystander in all of this. G

    As the days turned into weeks no one had been able to figure out how to get Symphony’s wolf back. Day by day she was getting worse. She had stayed in her bedroom, she spent most of her time crying. She had stopped receiving visitors, and the only one allowed to see her was Alexander. She was spiraling into a deep depression that she couldn’t get out of. She had tried to get the moon goddess to show herself to see how she could make amends with her and get Starlett back, but it wasn’t working. She wished that she could go back and unsay what she said. She knew that the guys were worried about her, and she felt bad about that but what was she supposed to do? She was worthless without her wolf. Alexander had even tried to get her to go walk through the garden with him a few times, but she refused. She stayed in her room and sat in complete darkness. He wanted to help her, but he didn’t know how. He sent Gavin and Damion up a few times to talk to her, but she wouldn’t even open the door

    The next day, Alexander called the meeting for Symphony. She sat on the couch in between Alexander and Gavin, Damion sat across from them with one of the men that had been fighting next to her.Alexander had told him what was going on with Symphony and hoped he would be able to shed some light on the situation. He left out the part about her wolf though because that wasn’t his story to tell. The soldier had told Symphony everything that he could remember about the fight. Everything that she had previously heard from the other three men sitting next to her. She was able to remember some of it but not all. After the soldier finished telling her what had happened, he was dismissed.Damion and Gavin looked at each other and then to Alexander and Symphony, even they didn’t know what was going on.“I think it’s time we tell you what is going on.” Alexander said looking at Symphony.She nodded before she began speaking. She took a deep breath before telling them what was happening.“It seem

    It had been a week since Symphony had woken from her coma-like state, and she was still trying to piece her memories back together. She had been trying to make a connection with Starlett as well but with no luck. The only good thing that happened this past week was her getting her voice back. She had been checked over by the doctors and they told her that everything seemed normal. She hadn’t really spoken to Alexander much since she woke up. She had been kind of avoiding him. She knew that he had told her everything that had happened before she fell into whatever state she was in, but she felt like he was leaving something out. Even after reading his journal, she felt that way. She didn’t like that feeling. Damion and Gavin had come to visit her every day and even they seemed like they were hiding something from her. She knew if they were it was because Alexander told them to keep quiet, so she didn’t blame them. Alexander had moved his desk out of their room and was now working in

    Three months had now passed since Symphony had fallen into her coma like state. Alexander moved her from her hospital room to their bedroom in the new house that he had built. He made an office in his room to be by her side daily. He never let anyone in unless it was the doctors, he even shut Damion and Gavin out. He was slowly slipping into madness waiting for her to finally wake up.Several days later he though he saw her move her hands and immediately called the doctors in. They checked her over and came to the conclusion that he was seeing things. Well, a few days later Alexander saw her hand move again, this time he didn’t call the doctors until he was sure about what he saw. He sat and stared at her hand for hours before it moved again, and her eyelids started to flutter.This time he called the doctors and explained to them what he saw. This time when they checked her over, she moved her hand again and slowly opened her eyes. Everyone drew in a breath as she looked around confu

    While Alexander waited for Symphony to wake up, he had men rebuilding his house that was destroyed. He wanted to have it done when Symphony woke up, he didn’t want her to be stuck in the safe house.He checked in with the doctors every day and even though she was strong and had no major injuries she was still in a catatonic state. The doctors couldn’t figure out why. Alexander had guards posted outside of her room and surrounding the hospital, he didn’t want any surprises. He went to visit her every day and brought her flowers so she would have something nice to look at when she woke up. When he wasn’t at the hospital, Damion or Gavin were there keeping an eye on her.Everyone was hoping she would wake up soon, as Alexander was slowly losing his mind with her in the hospital. He even went as far as letting the doctors take her home so she would have familiar surroundings when she woke up. That was denied though as the doctors didn’t even know why she hadn’t woken up yet.Alexander tri

Jaxson’s men ran through the guards like they were butter. They brutally attacked the guards, tearing them limb from limb. They slit their throats and left blood everywhere. They took the heads of the guards and put them on spikes. They lit fires and burned the rest of the body parts. This was a warning of what wa

    While Symphony and Alexander lay in bed snuggled together, back at the cabin Jaxon was seething with fury. He had lost his wild card, his secret weapon, his queen. He thought his men would catch up to Symphony before she got to the river. She was faster than he thought. She was also smarter than he gave her credit for, using the river to hide her scent.He needed a new plan to get her back, he needed her for his plan to work. She was the key to take over the kingdom from that Lycan. As he sat in the cabin trying to make up a new plan to get her back, his men were outside grumbling about how they lost their queen.Jaxson wasn’t sure if she went back to Alexander or if she was still hiding somewhere. He knew if she had gone back to Alexander, she would have told him everything, but in the same sense if she had done that she wasn’t that smart after all. She would bring war to Alexander’s doorstep within the day if she went back. He was going to have his men search the forest on the othe

    Symphony had rested until morning and when she was sure the coast was clear she headed back out. She assumed that Jaxon and his men had given up their search for her and that the people from Grey Moon Pack were gone as well.She looked up at the sky and noticed that the sun was just rising. She checked in with Starlett to see how she was doing and to Symphony’s surprise she was back. Starlett told Symphony to let her take over, and she would get them back to Alexander. She shifted and Starlett took off.Starlett knew how to get back to Alexander and Dax, because of them being mates. She was running as fast as she could and told Symphony that they would be back to them within a few hours. She was not sure who was more excited to see them, her, or Starlett.It was about midday Starlett slowed down as she was almost at her destination. She could still smell the smoke in the air. Her heart broke at the fact that she would no longer have her home.About a half hour later she stood at the r
