View More~Katarina~My plan was to go home, but I didn't want to do that. I don't really have an explanation for my aunt and uncle. I know that if they were to see me upset, I would have to explain things to them. I thought I'd go to King, but the same thing; I just don't have an explanation in me.Honestly, I don't even know what's wrong with me. I know that I'm in love with King. I have been so for a while. I don't know why I took off on Aston like that, and it saddens me. I would love nothing more than to have my friend back. “You look a little flustered there.” I whip around to find Dominic not too far from me. I look around and notice that I'm pretty close to the training area. I didn't even mean to come over this way, but here I am.“I'm okay. I'm just a bit tired.” Dominic looks me up and down, and it makes me uncomfortable. To be honest, Dominic has always made me feel that way. There's just something about him that rubs me the wrong way.“I just want to be sure that everything is okay
~Katarina~I can honestly say that I've never really understood the true meaning of awkward until this moment... right now. Aston and I walk through the woods, and neither of us says a word. To be honest, I have no idea what to say to him.I don't want to say too much and stress him out. I also want to be able to talk to him and learn about this new Aston. Four years is a long time, and a lot can change. I'm sure I'm not the same Katarina that he knew before.We find ourselves in a clearing that has tree stumps that you can sit on. Aston takes a seat on one of the stumps, and I can't help but laugh. I quickly cover my mouth in a feeble attempt to silence my laugh. Aston looks at me with a frown on his face. "Did I do something wrong?” I clear my throat and quickly have a seat on a stump next to him,"No, no, it isn't anything like that.” He looks at me with questions in his eyes, and it takes me back to when we were growing up. He has no idea how familiar this is, and it tugs at my he
~Katarina~It's been almost a week since Aston has been back at the pack, and it's been a bit awkward. The problem isn't because he's been weird with people. To be honest, not too many people have seen him. He's been keeping to his parents and the houseI have caught a glimpse of him once or twice, but it was always really quick. I haven't had a chance to talk to him or anything. King and I have discussed him, but it has always been in the context of being worried for him. King has been beyond eager to see him again, while I'm not sure how to feel.When I was in school, I always dreamed that Aston would be my fated mate. It was a dream that I had, and I really wanted it to come true. Aston was more than a friend to me; I would have been ecstatic if he had become mine.Of course, by the time I turned 18, he had been gone for two years. I guess that's why I'm nervous. What if I run into him and realize he's my fated mate? How do King and I handle that? Would we still be together? If Ast
~‘A’~There are hushed whispers as I open my eyes and look around. I'm in his room, but I don't feel uncomfortable. I hear a door open and close, along with footsteps coming up the stairs. A light knock on my door causes me to shift in bed. “Come in.” The door opens, and Shawna steps in the doorway.“How'd you sleep?” I sigh and stretch, sitting up in the bed.“I slept okay actually. I feel pretty good.” She smiles and nods.“Well, Eddison went into work today so it's just us.” I should have figured they had jobs. I can't keep them from that, even though I walked away from my job.“I'm sorry to keep you from working. You can leave me if you must.” Shawna smiles and walks over to the bed. She silently asks if she can sit, and I nod slightly. Shawna moves to sit at the edge of my bed.“Don't worry about me. My job is more flexible than most. Besides, there's nowhere else I want to be right now. I want to help you find yourself again, if possible.” Shawna takes a deep breath and lets it
~King~I know what Dad said, but I just can't help myself. I've known Aston all our lives, and his being gone made everything feel off. I just need to lay eyes on him myself, and I think I'll be okay.I take a deep breath and knock on the door of the Beta house. I've wanted to come to see Aston since Dad told me he was back, and even more so after talking to Katarina. I don't really know what to expect, so I'm nervous.The seconds tick by with no response, which already adds to my anxiety. The door finally moves, not opening completely. Shawna peeks her head out of the door. When she sees that it's me, she quickly steps outside and pulls the door almost closed behind her. “Alp-” I quickly shake my head at her. I don't need any ridiculous formalities right now; we're family. Shawna nods and smiles. “King, how are you?”“I…I'm anxious, if I'm being honest. I know he needs rest and whatnot, but I'm aching to see him. I never thought I'd see him again, you know?” Shawna sighs and steps aw
~Katarina~“Mmm.” I turn my head toward the warmth next to me. I snuggle my head, but it isn't on anything soft. It's on a hard surface, but it smells so good. I blink my eyes open and am looking at a red polo shirt. I let my eyes travel up and am met by the soft brown eyes of King.“Hey, baby. How are you feeling?” I close my eyes again and let out a sigh.“What happened?”“You were in the garden with Tatiana, and you passed out. She told you some news.” My eyes pop open, and I turn my head to look at King. There's nothing but love and kindness in his eyes.“She told me that Aston is back.” King nods, and my heart clenches.“How do you feel about that?”“I don't know. I mean, I liked him in school. I liked him a lot, and the day he disappeared, we were supposed to go out.”“You were friends too, right?” I feel a smile grow on my face at the memories of Aston and me when we were younger.“We were. I loved our friendship.”“My dad told us that he's back, but he doesn't remember anythin
~King~“What's on the agenda today?” I lean back in the chair across from my father's desk. I cross my legs, letting my right ankle rest on my left knee. My dad will be stepping down soon, and when he does, he will pass the pack over to me. Katarina will be my Luna, and I can't wait for all of that to be the case.His office door opens, and Dominic walks into the room. He walks over to me, nodding to my dad before sitting in the seat next to me. Dominic will be taking over as the Beta when I get in place. We are both excited to carry this pack.“I wanted to give you two a heads-up.” The look on my dad's face tells me that whatever he wants to say to me is extremely serious. I'm starting to get nervous. I sit up straighter, letting my feet hit the floor. I feel Dominic shift next to me, but I keep my focus on my dad. I swallow, trying to keep my breaths even. “Eddison and Shawna have found him; they found Aston.” I'm on my feet before I can even register to move.“Where is he?! I have
I scoot my chair back, trying to come up with the best way to bolt from the room. “I can show you.” I turn to Eddison and watch him stand up behind his chair. He starts to strip his clothes, and I'm ready to fight. I just got pulled into some type of sex games. What a fucking idiot I am!Before I can get up and run, Eddison changes on the spot. One minute, a man is standing there, and the next is a giant, dark gray wolf staring at me. When I say huge, I cannot stress just how big it is. If I had to guess, I'd say that it stands at 6 or 7 feet tall. What wolf has anyone ever seen that was that damn tall?The crazy thing is my body isn't going through the typical fight or flight response. I'm actually pretty calm. There's a pull in me that is pushing me to get closer. This is the craziest thing, but I can't fight it. I stand up and slowly walk toward the massive wolf. I reach my hand out and watch the wolf slowly lower his head.I let my hand touch the top of his head, and I'm pleasantl
~Shawna~The color seemed to drain from Aston's face. I can only imagine what a shock this is to him. He truly has no idea what his past life was like or about where he came from. He will even have to be introduced to the werewolf world, and that's why we spoke to Blake before coming back. Aston coming into the pack will be akin to bringing a human into the fold. It's a risky situation, and we need to be prepared for every eventuality.Eddison timidly placed his hand on Aston's arm, trying to calm him in light of this news. I can't imagine what's going through his mind, and as his mother, I wish I could make this all go away. He's going to need me and his father as he navigates his new life. There's no guarantee that he will even remember who he was, but we had to try. “What now?” I look at Eddie, and he nods at me.“We were hoping you would come with us. There are things we need to tell you about us, about yourself. We know this situation is crazy for you and that you don't know us,
~Aston~I step out of bed and stretch. I just turned 18 on Saturday and slept all day yesterday. My shift took a lot out of me, but that's to be expected. I'm a Beta, and our shifts pack a lot of power, not more than an Alpha's shift, but close.My name is Aston Wiley, and I'm the future Beta of the BlackPaw Pack. I'm best friends with the future Alpha King Jamison. He turned 18 a month ago but hasn't found his mate yet. The anticipation is killing me, as I believe I know who my mate is, and I will get confirmation when I get to school.There's a girl that I've been into for a while now. When we were younger, I was always drawn to her, always trying to protect her. As we got older, I kept our friendship going. Something about her always appealed to me, and recently, I felt that maybe it could be the mate bond that I've been feeling all this time. Katarina Harris is beautiful, more beautiful than any other she-wolf. She's 5’8 with a tawny brown complexion. She wears her hair in an asym...
