They all became quiet at the sound of their father's voice. Seeing how quiet they had all become because he stepped in, his eyes scanned their faces, moving from Blue, to his wife and then, to his son, Beck.“I'm sure you all didn't become deaf and dumb all of a sudden.” He said with a stern look on his face. “What's with the sudden silence?” He asked, his eyes not leaving Beck.“It's nothing, dad.” Beck lied, but his mother was determined not to cover the matter up.“Liar!” She suddenly shouted, facing Beck.“Okay, now I need to know what is going on. What is all this?” Beck's dad asked, with a puzzled look on his face.“Is no one ready to speak now?” He asked, raising his voice.Before his wife could give him an answer, Blue spoke up.“Well, it's obviously that girl, dad! I don't even know what he sees in such a crappy person.” Blue answered him.“Blue!” Beck yelled her name, trying to shut her up but she was not ready to back down.“What is it?” She snapped, rolling her eyes at him
FIRE DAWN PACK Two weeks rolled by so quickly and it was now time for Steve to be let out of the dungeon. “Good afternoon Beta Richard.” They all greeted him as soon as they saw him and he nodded slightly in response. “Steve, it's time to leave. Let's get you out of here.” Beta Richard said as he approached Steve with one of the guards. Steve scoffed, “Oh, he finally wants to let me out?” He said, with a menacing look on his face. “What were you expecting? To be here forever?” Beta Richard tackled Steve's question and Steve shrugged, unperturbed. “Open the gates.” Beta Richard ordered the guard, who immediately did as he was told, finally letting Steve out. “Damn, you look rough.” Beta Richard teased and Steve rolled his eyes at him, jokingly. “Glad to finally have you out.” Beta Richard said again and Steve smiled. “Are you trying to say you have missed me?” Steve asked with a tiny smile. “Miss you? You wish.” Beta Richard replied, giving a funny expression. Steve couldn'
Steve immediately rushed in after Beta Richard, his heart beating fast as Beta Richard made his way into the living room. As soon as they got into the living room and saw no one, Steve heaved a sigh of relief.“Wow, for someone who has not been home for almost a month now, your house sure looks so neat and organized.” Beta Richard commented as his eyes scanned the room and for a split second, Steve became speechless, not knowing how to respond to Beta Richard's comment on the state of his house.Seeing as Steve didn't talk, Beta Richard turned to him and furrowed his brows as he expected a response from Steve.“Oh, it has to be Megan. She is the only one who has access into this place, aside from me, obviously. She has the keys and so I'm guessing she comes from time to time to clean the place up.” Steve said“Hmmmmm!” Beta Richard mused as he slid his fingers gently across the wooden shelf, checking for dust but finding none, “that explains why the whole place is spotless.” He said,
Steve jumped off the bed, shocked and stood metres away from the bed. The hand which grabbed his leg was no longer in view by the time he jumped off the bed. Confused, he began to think about what Beta Richard said before he left.“Could there really be an intruder in the house?” He thought to himself as he gradually approached the bed once again. This time, determined to face whoever it was who was hiding underneath the bed.He gradually and carefully knelt to the ground, ready to catch whoever it was who had the effrontery to come into his house to scare him.Peeping, he was surprised to see Veronica under the bed, laughing at him. She had laid down there, with her hands covering her mouth, to make sure he didn't hear any sound she made.“Oh my goodness. Veronica!” He exclaimed, surprised and relieved at the same time.“What are you doing there?” He asked as he helped her out of there.“Hiding.” She replied, still laughing.“Hiding from who?” He inquired.“From whoever that person
As Steve approached the door, he began thinking about what Veronica said. Could he truly be in trouble this time?“I haven't done anything wrong this time. As a matter of fact, I just got out of the dungeon.” He thought to himself.“Who is there?” He asked as he got to the door but there was no response.He peeped through the peephole, but there was no one in view.“Is this a prank or something?” He hissed and turned to go back in without opening the door. As he got back into the room, Veronica, who had been waiting anxiously, asked him with a very low tone, “Who was it?”“I don't know.” He shrugged, taking his seat beside her. “No one answered me.” He added.“Didn't you open the door to check?” She asked him, but he shook his head.“I didn't. I asked who was there but no one responded. Maybe it was just a prank.” He replied, shrugging again.“You can't be so sure. What if someone is actually out there waiting to see you?” She asked, with an unsettled look on her face.“Well, that's
“Are you sick?” Veronica and Steve asked in unison.“What happened? Are you okay?” Veronica asked further, her face filled with concern.“Guys, calm down. I'm not sick.” Megan said with a slight smile.“What do you mean? Then why did you go to the hospital?” Steve queried, giving her no space to reply.“Are you going to calm down, and let me explain or what?” She rolled her eyes at him.“Please, I think you should just let her tell us what happened.” Veronica said, with her calm voice.“Yes, thank you, Vee.” She uttered in agreement with Veronica. She then turned to Steve, “You heard her. Calm down and let me talk. Why are you always in a hurry? Huh!” She flashed her tongue at him and Veronica laughed.“Fine. Explain. We're all ears.” Steve said with a frown.“So I went to see Trey.” She revealed, shocking both Steve and Veronica.“You did what?” Steve sat up, he couldn't believe his ears.“Please calm down and let me explain.” She quickly said as she realized he wasn't taking the ne
Steve's heart skipped a beat. “What have I done this time?” He thought to himself as he sighed and slowly opened the door.“Good day sir.” The guards greeted him in unison and he nodded in acknowledgement.“The Alpha has requested your presence, sir.” One of the guards reiterated.“I'm not deaf, I heard you the first time.” Steve replied, coldly.“I'm sorry sir.” He apologized.“Do I have to go with you this time around? Or can I at least go in my car?” Steve asked them, because he remembered that the last time they were at his house, they insisted that he had to go with them and not in his car.“You can go in your car, sir. We were only told to inform you.” They said to him and he nodded.“Fine then. I'll be there soon.” He said, and they left immediately.Seeing them leave, Steve immediately went back into the house to grab his car keys.“What happened now? Were those the palace guards?” Megan asked immediately Steve approached them, and he nodded in response.She and Veronica had b
Steve got home to Veronica and Megan, waiting for him. He had been gone for almost an hour and they were beginning to get worried that something unusual might have happened to him.As soon as he got into the house, they rushed to him, their faces filled with concern and worry as they expected news from him.“So? How did it go? Are you in trouble?” Megan quickly asked in a rush.“Why do you keep talking about me being in trouble?” He asked her, shaking his head.“Sorry. That's just what came to my mind. You can't really blame me.” She replied and he furrowed his brows.“So, I'm a troublemaker. Is that what you're saying?” He queried and walked off to take his seat.“No,” Veronica immediately intervened before it was blown out of proportion. “I'm sure that is not what she meant, right Megan?” She said, turning to Megan, who nodded in agreement.“Okay, if you say so.” Steve agreed and took out his phone and began scrolling through it, while Megan kept standing in front of him while he wa
“Veronica!!!” They all called out to her in unison, but she was too devastated to answer.“Wait up.” Scott yelled, but she still didn't answer him.Right when she was almost at the gate, Beta Richard hurried after her and grabbed her arm, holding her firmly, but even with that, she still refused to stay still and kept fighting to be let go.“What do you think you're doing? Where do you think you're going?” He asked her, still holding her firmly, stopping her from leaving on her own.“The hospital. Please let me go.” She replied, her voice breaking and her eyes welling up with tears.“You can't just go like that. You know what? Just calm down, and wait.” He said, his voice laced with concern.“No, I can't wait. I can't just stay calm, do nothing. I have to be there.” She tried to wriggle her hand free from his grasp, her face flushing with frustration and devastation.“You have to!” He snapped at her, his voice a little louder. “You barely know your way around here yet. How exactly do
“Dad, I don't know what is going on. He suddenly coughed out blood, and now it seems like he is not breathing.” She panicked, her voice shaking with fear. Tears, pouring out of her eyes.“Dad, I'm in trouble. I killed him.” She screamed in terror.The guards soon rushed into the room, and were taken aback. The sight before then wasn't something they had thought they would see.“Sir, we should take him to the Pack Hospital. He might have just slipped into unconsciousness.” One of the guards said in a rush.“Yes, yes. Let's take him to the hospital. Carry him gently, please.” He ordered them, and they got to work immediately.“Please get up, ma'am.” They said to Megan, who had Steve's head on her lap.Seeing that Megan didn't move, and was still holding on to Steve, her father yelled at her. “Get up Megan!” She jerked in fear, and got up.The guards then went ahead to carry Steve gently, and headed outside the house, while Megan and her dad followed closely behind them. They soon got to
“Megan!!!” Her father screamed in shock as he ducked to avoid the shattering glass.“Megan! What the hell is this? What has gotten over you?” He yelled at her, and rushed to Steve who was holding onto his shoulder in pain, and staring at the furious Megan in disbelief.“How could he suddenly choose her over me? Why would he do such a thing to me after everything we have been through all these years. After all that we've shared. How can he choose a complete stranger over me?” She cried angrily.“Wait, what?!” Her father stared at her in utter shock. “So this whole anger and violence is because he chose someone else over you?” He couldn't believe what he had just heard his daughter say.“Oh my goodness! I thought I raised you better. I can't believe this.” He said with so much disappointment.He turned to Steve who was still writhing in pain.“Are you okay?” He asked, and immediately Steve lifted his hands off his shoulder, Megan's father’s eyes widened in shock at what he saw.Steve's
A bit surprised, he asked, “Who is the person?”“It's Master Steve, sir.” The voice replied.“Oh.” He then turned to his daughter. “I guess he is here to see you.” She shook her head in disagreement, and pulled away from her dad.“Is he here to see Megan?” Megan's dad asked the messenger.“No, sir. He specifically asked to see you sir.” The messenger answered.“Really? That's unusual.” He muttered, and looked at Megan, who looked away immediately.“Alright, tell him to wait. I'll be with him shortly.” He said to the messenger at the door, who in turn, replied, and walked away.He then turned back to his daughter, hoping to continue their previous conversation, but her expression indicated to him that she wasn't ready to say anything at that moment.Understanding her expression, he asked, “you don't want to talk now, right?” And she nodded in agreement.He sighed. “That's fine. I'll be back shortly. Let me just find out what he is here for.”He got up and left the room, while Megan cu
For hours after Megan left, Steve sat in a chair, still dumbfounded, and unable to compose himself. He couldn't wrap his head around what had just happened. He couldn't believe that the one true friend he had literally all his life was in love with him and he didn't know.“Damn! I'm such a fool. I really am.” He muttered to himself, beating himself up about it.Even though they fought and disagreed about a lot of things, a lot of times, he still really cared about Megan, and always looked out for her all the time, and she did the same too, or so he thought.He remembered all the time when they would get into trouble when they were younger, and how they would smartly figure out a way out of every mess they got themselves into.After his mother passed away and he was depressed and hurt, Megan was the one who didn't make him feel alone, because she was always there to comfort him. And that was one of the reasons why their friendship grew stronger over the years.But now, it seemed like t
“Wait, what?” Steve stood shocked and lost for words.At that moment, he didn't even understand what was going on. “What are you talking about? What is this?” He asked, looking as confused as ever.“How could you choose Veronica over me? How could you?” She yelled at him again, throwing him into further confusion.“Choose her over you?” His head snapped back in confusion, “What does that even mean?” Megan's eyes flashed in anger as she snapped at him,“Don't even try to play dumb with me, Steve. Stop the pretense!”“Look, Megan, you're not making any sense. What is all this? What are you going on about?” Megan’s eyes soon blazed with tears. “You're really choosing her over me, aren't you?” Her voice cracked, as she asked again.Steve's expression softened, unaware of the depth of Megan’s emotions, and unable to understand why she kept repeating the same words. “Megan, what is all this? You've been repeating these same exact words for the past few minutes. What exactly is the matter?
FIRE DAWN PACK THREE MONTHS LATER“Phew. I can't believe we're finally done with this community service. This has been the longest three months of my life.” Megan said, as they walked slowly to Steve's house.“I also hope my dad lets me off the hook too.” She said, thinking out loud. “I've really missed going out whenever I want, I hope he ‘ungrounds’ me.” She rolled her eyes, as she kept talking to the unattentive Steve.“Also, I’ve been so bored and miserable without my phone and my other gadgets. Ughhh” She grunted as she complained.“Anyway, thank you for making the past three months easy for me. I don't want to imagine what it would have felt like without you being there.” She continued talking, not paying attention to if Steve responded or not.“To be honest, I think I would have collapsed at some point.” She added. “You and I know that I'm not built for any menial or hard labour.” She said, examining her hands, and she then chuckled.“But Steve, do you think your dad has finall
SUN CREST PACK “How dare you, Beck!” His father yelled, barging into Beck's house. “How dare you embarrass and humiliate me like that? Have you lost your mind? Or have you lost your sense of reasoning?” He kept yelling angrily, the guards immediately left his presence, leaving him alone with Beck.“What is it, father?” Beck asked his already furious father.“Don't you even dare, Beck. Don't give me that bullshit!” He snapped at Beck.“But I don't even know what you're talking about, father. I really don't understand what is going on.” Beck replied, trying to figure out what his father was angry about.“You think I don't know what you're doing? You must think I'm a fool, right?” He scoffed, “Do you think I don’t know that you're trying to act innocent, and feign ignorance. Don't piss me off Beck!”“Dad, I promise you, I don't know what you're talking about.” He replied, hoping to calm his father down.“You liar!” His father snapped at him.“I'm being honest, father. I don't know what
“I really don't know what happened in the space of two hours, but from my observation, his vitals look completely different from what it was when I left him two hours ago.” The doctor replied, still flipping through his note pad.Scott's parents exchanged nervous glances, and turned to face the doctor once again.Beta Lily nervously held her husband's hand, her grip tightening in his. “Is that a good thing?” She asked, looking really concerned.“Yes, doctor. Is it something we should be worried about?” Her husband chipped in immediately.“Oh no. It's nothing to be worried about. What I am trying to say is that he looks much better than when I left earlier.” The doctor explained carefully.“Oh. So, he is better, right?” She asked again, to be sure of what the doctor was telling them.“Yes. He is perfectly fine.” The doctor replied, smiling. “He just needs more rest and that's all.” He added.“Then he can come home with us after that?” Veronica, who had been silent all the while, finall
