Gabbie POV

The sun had turned the sky orange. I was curled into a ball on Kade’s side. He had just travelled to unexplored territory and neither of us said a thing. We were perfectly content with the silence. Then he pulled his arm from around me and sat up. He stared out at the water for a couple of seconds before he stood.

“Kade,” I said.

He kept his back on me. I didn’t think he would respond. I expected him to walk away and leave me feeling used.

“Yeah?” He arched his brow at me.

“I’m not a good kisser.” I had to come up with something to say and I couldn’t believe I said that.

He chuckled, “Why would you say that?”

“Cole…”

“Right…” he stared off again. “You shouldn’t have kissed him.”

“What?”

He lowered himself to my level and captured my lips. He dragged on my bottom lip and used his tongue to explore them both.

“Next time don’t kiss anyone else.” His blue eyes held warning. Then he stood. “I’ve got to go. The omega quarters aren’t far from here. Can you make it on your own?”

    Kade POVI let my guard down. I blamed my wolf. He couldn’t stay away from her. I arrived at the castle and found the guys training. People were taking battle season seriously. I should be too, but I had an omega on my mind. We had only been apart for thirty minutes, but I wanted to break into the omega quarters and steal her for another session by the lake. Now that I had a feel of her I wouldn’t be able to keep myself at bay.“Hey, mind if I join?” I asked.“Sure, I’d love to kick your ass,” Gareth said.“I’m in a mood Gareth. I wouldn’t expect that.”“Anger clouds judgment Kade,” Gareth smirked.It wasn’t rage. It was sexual frustration.I didn’t feel like changing into a uniform. I grabbed a staff from Paul.“This should be good.” One of the guys said.“Oh, it will.” Gareth was cocky. It was the reason I didn’t take him seriously as an opponent.“Kade!” Someone bellowed my name.“What?!” I barked.The staff collided with the back of my head. “Dude what the fuck.”“Kade!”Eva ran u

    Gabbie POVI woke up in my bed wearing his shirt. I couldn’t recall when Kade broke into the omega quarters and tucked me in. The girls were getting ready around me yet I couldn’t help feeling like I was in an empty room. At least I had his shirt to remind me of his scent. I fisted the front of the t-shirt and brought it to my nose.“Hey, aren’t you getting up?” Blair asked.“Why?” I asked, pulling my blanket closer to me. I didn’t want to explain why I was wearing Kade’s shirt.“I suggest you not go to breakfast,” Emery said as she pulled a purple t-shirt over her head.“It’s not Turkey soup again, is it?”Emery and Blair shared a burrow-knitted stare.“What is it, guys?”I stayed lying down or else they would see Kade’s shirt.“Everyone’s talking about you and Cole.” Emery hissed.“What about us?” I sat up, clutching the blanket around myself.“What do you mean? He’s telling everyone you fucked.”“That lying pig! I did no such thing.”I was too busy trying not to get killed by two A

    Gabbie POV“Ugh, you know what? Forget you.”Cole grabbed my arm and ripped the cap from my head, then tossed it ten feet away.“What the hell is wrong with you?”“You are! I’m trying to talk to you.”“Did you have to do that?” My strawberry hair tumbled down my shoulders.I glanced around, hoping no one noticed what was going on. I wanted to disappear. Some heads turned and caught the scene. I tugged on my arm, but Cole’s grip was tight.“You’re not even sorry.”“Of course not. You should have seen this coming, Gabbie. Girls without wolves don’t get far in terms of finding a mate.”That went straight to my chest until I realized he was wrong. I did have a mate. A man I shouldn’t have in reality. An Alpha whose pack hated omegas, and if I understood things well, this meant I was supposed to be Kade’s Luna. “Oh my gosh.” I ran my fingers through my hair subconsciously.Cole chuckled, “Surprised at the truth?”“Truth? Your pals aren’t going to be happy when they find out you lied about

When Alex finds out he’s going to feel betrayed that’s if he gives a damn. Though, Alex and Kade are enemies. I shouldn’t have looked at Kade to begin with; it had to be against some code, but fate had other ideas.“I’m so excited. It’s the first school trip of the year!” Emery bounced.“We’re going to a mountain, not Palm Springs,” Blair said.“I have to agree with Blair on this one,” I said with a sigh.“At least we get to leave this horrible place, plus free t-shirts!”“I’ll gladly start a campfire with it.” Blair rolled her eyes.Students wandered around the academy grounds after the assembly was dismissed. The big announcement was the school trip to Ester Mountain. It is a shifter historical site. It was the equivalent of going to the museum.T-shirts were passed around according to rank to wear on the trip. The omegas got army green s

    Gabbie POV“Gabbie, you have to tell me what happened. I think Emery’s traumatized,” Blair said as soon as I walked into the room.“What did she say?”“Nothing! She won’t say anything. She’s hiding under her covers.”“I… maybe we should give her some space.”“Did he hit you guys?”“No, nothing like that. But it was dark and there were rats everywhere.”Blair grimaced and then turned over to Emery. “I hate rats more than the next guy, but I don’t think it causes that.”Emery’s little body quaked under the purple covers. My heart shattered. Was she embarrassed, I knew or maybe Tristan forced her to be with him?“She doesn’t want to talk to anyone. Yeah, we should give her some space.” Blair said.I didn’t want to give her space anymore. I wanted to figure out what hurt her. Me or Tristan? The dinner bell rang, and the girls piled out of the room. Emery just remained in her bed, sobbing. Blair dragged me out.“Are you the reason Cole has two black eyes?” Blair whispered.I scanned the di

That was about all the penetration that happened today. I orgasmed more than twice already, but Kade hadn’t stopped.He licked and sucked on me until my body quaked with pleasure. He sucked on my sensitive clit. I stroked his satin-like hair, and he moaned. He licked faster and harder. I cupped my mouth. We had been here all night, I didn’t want to get caught when the sun was starting to wake. My orgasm hit, and my eyes rolled into the back of my head.Kade finally emerged from between my legs. He cupped my face and then kissed me. I got to taste myself on his lips. It was an odd feeling. He pressed our heads together and smirked.“Kade,” I whispered.“What?” He whispered back.“It’s morning.”“Right.” He lay beside me.We stared as the sun crept into the dark sky. The orange-pink sky pushed the stars back into hiding.“I need to g

    Gabbie POVFour massive buses were parked outside the castle gates. Two of those buses were for the betas and the other two belonged to the gammas. The alpha squad of course road in style. No crammed buses for them. They got expensive black SUVs to carry them to the mountain. And the omegas got the rickety bus with no breaks. I had to hand it to them it was an easy way to kill us.It wasn’t my lack of enthusiasm for this trip but rather the number of days I hadn’t heard back from my mom and my phone was still missing. No one announced finding a missing phone. I doubted I lost it someone must have stolen it.“Omegas! Board.”The two buses with the gammas started then the rest of us could board. We only barely managed to fit that was after some people had to be carried.“This takes away from the joy of being away from McGregor Academy,” Blair grunted.“You’re telling me,” I mumbled.

There was no way she would abandon me here. I found Headmistress Athena sitting at her desk with her head buried in a stack of papers. I guess it took a lot to run an institute like McGregor Academy.“Miss Chambers,” she said. There was a hint of a smile on her wrinkled face.Athena was a hard woman and she needed to be if she was going to keep alpha wolves in line. I was surprised she remembered me. I barely interacted with her and there were hundreds of students at the school.“Do you have a minute?”She nodded and pointed at the chair in front of me. “How may I be of assistance? You’ve had quite an eventful stay here so far.”I looked at my black skirt instead of her pale blue eyes.“It’s been

I didn’t know how long she would be doing it, and I bet she would be exhausted when she was done. I couldn’t wait to nurse her back to health in the privacy of my bedroom.I set the weight down and reached for my water bottle. It’s been over five hours; shouldn’t she be done now? My wolf was impatient. Its appetite for Gabbie was larger than most days today. I couldn’t blame him, our mate was gorgeous.She was more than gorgeous. She’s funny, brave, and she’s my peace. That’s why I couldn’t lose her. My suspicions of what Gabbie might be only intensified after she told me about her latest episode of illegal blows. I couldn’t bring myself to say it. I hated to think of us apart but it might be better for us if she left the school.I grabbed a towel and walked out of the gym with it hanging around my neck.

You’re not getting out of this that easily.”“Frankly, I don’t feel safe,” Leiah said, straightening her spine.“Yeah Ivan, we should be careful.”“Enough. We were given orders and we’re going to follow through. If the beast comes through here, we’ll take care of it.”“Don’t be cocky Ivan. I’ve come against it and it’s incredibly powerful.”“You’re a beta. I’m an alpha. See the difference?”I frowned. Ivan’s judgment was clouded by his inflated ego, and it could put the rest of us in danger. I hoped Ryan would push the issue, but he nodded and walked out of the hanging vine door.“Five hours,” Ivan reminded us.“Dick,” Leiah muttered.“Yeah.” Finally, we could agree on something.Minutes later, I had my boots and rubber gloves on, trying to rake up the leaves, but there was too much mud to do it quickly.

We made it halfway from the bonfire. Kade stroked my thigh, sending tingles throughout my body. He kissed my neck. He led me to a tree and pinned me there.“Kade,” I moaned.He grunted with satisfaction. He bit the soft flesh on my neck. I sunk my claws into his back. I melted into him. We wouldn’t make it to Kade’s bedroom, and then I remembered the wolf I came face to face with. My heart slammed forward. Kade felt it and pulled back. He cupped my cheeks and held my gaze.“What’s wrong?”“Kade, I saw it. The wolf. It attacked me.”“What?” He blasted, and I cringed. “Why didn’t you tell me?”“Sorry, I just— I kicked its tail.”Kade’s features stilled. He swallowed. “Another illegal blow, Gabbie.”Kade’s a wolf. I wasn’t surprised he was concerned about my new bad habit.“I didn’t know what else to do. It lunged at me.

Your outfits are on the bed.”“But—”“Emery’s been itching to do your hair.”“Gabbie!” Emery appeared wearing a petite flowy denim skirt and a white tube top.She styled her hair into massive coils. She brought our dangling earrings and a black choker. Emery never missed an opportunity to dress up.She sat me down and set my ponytail free. With all the buzz happening, no one would listen to me about the beast. Would it come back after I hurt it?“We don’t have much time. Were you with Kade?” She asked.“N-no. Forget it. I’m sorry.”“You’re going to look great! Blair’s dancing around the bonfire, so we need excellent seats.”“She is?”“Yeah, Blair’s been here a long time.”“Right. Glad I don’t have to dance though.”Ten minutes went by quickly, and then I was ushered to the bathroom to change. Emery and I were the last ones in the dorm.

Every time someone called me by my full name it meant something was wrong.“What?” I turned around to find Alex leaning on the bookshelf.The library was quiet especially since it was late afternoon. Even the librarian wasn’t in. With classes suspended, there was no need to study, though I wanted to keep myself busy. The Omega dance ceremony was tonight which involved petite skirts, tops barely covering our breasts and old folk songs. Plenty of food as well. A huge bonfire would be lit to welcome battle season.A day after the ceremony would be a ceremony where the betas would be pre-chosen for their Alphas. A lot of food would be involved as well.“Shouldn’t you be learning dance steps?” Alex smirked.“I’m not dancing. The older omegas are doing it.”“You’d look hot in those skirts.”“We’re all wearing them.” I shifted on the spot. Communicating with him was still weird because of all that happened between us.“Look Gabbie, I’m sorry. I went overboa

He only paused to jam his key into the hole and drag me inside.“Sorry, but things are complicated. I have to start training, and my opponents for Alpha will turn up soon.”“Alpha King?”“No, Babe, for Alpha of Sanders pack.”“You have to fight for that too!”He took my hands and tugged me close. I snuggled into him.“I do if there are any challengers.”“Do you think there will be any?” I asked.“Baxter might but he’s too cocky I’m not worried about him.”“I’m worried about this monster wolf and… it smelling like me. Kade, what if it comes back and someone notices?”He rubbed the back of his head. He opened his mouth to speak, but he closed it.“What?” I probed.“Gabbie.”I planted my hand on my hip and glared at him.“Alex knows. I don’t like that he knows your scent. He knows I set the field on fire.”“You did!”“I had to! I couldn’t risk someone else puttin

I knew Alex was fond of her scent, too. It was a matter of time before he thought the same.“I don’t understand.”“Neither do I,” I replied.“Then why did you say that?”“Because it’s true. Both scenes reek of your scent.”Heat rushed to her face. She moved away from me and stopped safely by the bed. She ran her fingers through her strawberry-blonde hair. I hated coconuts, but that was her natural scent. I didn’t like strawberries, but they would permanently remind me of the love of my life.“I wasn’t there except for that one time, I swear.”“This doesn’t look good. Now, when I tell you to keep away from the scenes, will you listen?”I might have fuelled her curiosity by telling her this. She nodded, but I knew better than to believe her.

I won’t touch anything.”“No,” Alex and Kade said in unison.They stared at one another for a brief second.“Alphas only, and the wolf could still be out there,” Alex said.“It’s getting ballsy attacking during daylight.”“Ryan’s my friend, I want to know what happened to him.”“He was your one-time babysitter,” Alex said.“A bad one if he let the baby get slammed against a tree.”“What?” Alex exclaimed. “When did that happen?”“Uh… It’s in the past.
