Iza POV
We had been home for 6 months now and everything had been perfectly normal, maybe a bit to perfect someone might add, but I enjoyed every moment of it living a normal family life.
We had experienced some resistance among the pack members, when we first arrived back home, and it was announced that I were a mere human now, and worse that they no longer had an Alpha to lead them. Luke had refused to take on the title and Arianna was too young, so Steffan had stepped up as our new Alpha of the pack, and thankfully everyone was pleased with that decision. Tomas was announced as the new Beta as Luke didn’t want any title or responsibility, but it was still agreed that Luke would be the next in line for the role as Alpha of the pack if something were to happen to Steffan.
After Steffan took over the role as Alpha and the pack had settle down and accepted me as a human to live among them everything seemed to turn out for the better.
Me, Steffan, Tom
It was right then and there that my life change. Change by the sound of heels walking on a marble floor.That fucking clicking sound and nothing else.Everybody in the room held their breath – me included.It felt like time stood still only to be interrupted by the sound of those heels. I was getting anxious – wanting to look back at the person making the sound. But also fucking afraid to do so as well. I could hear them come closer and my heart started pounding in my chest.Then the sound stopped. And the silence almost consumed me.Then someone finally spoke and announced: “Supreme alpha”The words were spoken from our trainer, general and beta Mathias. As soon as the words were spoken everybody dropped on the knee with their head bowed in respect.And then that sound started again.“Click” “click” “click” “click” – and then utter silence.I
Luke POV A few hours before. It was day of the selection. Where the packs best upcoming warriors… and me, where able to apply to be chosen by the Supreme Alpha to be apart of their training regime. It was a great honor and the people chosen by the alpha was to exceed in life and become extraordinary in their chosen line of work. It was usually warriors chosen – and I’m no warrior, but since everybody could submit to be elected and chosen by the supreme. I had the audacity to try. When it was announced that I would be pledging myself to the Supreme Alpha, I was the laughingstock of the city and both my aunt, my teachers, beta Mathias and even our pack alpha – Alpha Ezrod tried to talk me out of it. It wasn’t because I was in bad shape or a bad person. I just hadn’t shifted yet. At an age of 17 I still hadn't met my wolf – I wasn’t wolf less – I could feel him deep inside me but something was blocking me or it. The pack had tried everything to get me to
Luke POV“Luke are you ready?” I could hear my aunt Lucy call.Shit – was it almost time. I been deep in thought that I lost all sense of time. I looked at the image of me in mirror wearing my dad’s old suit. It was of cause to big and I looked even more like a small puny teenager than in my own clothes.Before I could answer her – she was standing beside me looking at my reflection in the mirror. She smiled proudly like she was seeing something completely different than I was.She started stuffing the shirt down my pants and straitening the jacket making me feel 10 years old again.“So handsome” she said with a smile looking at me. I smiled back and look in the mirror once again trying really hard to see what she saw.“I know why you are doing this” she then said.“Oh” I replied trying not to look her in the eye.I felt like I was abandoning her and
Luke POV Standing outside the great hall my heart was pounding in my chest. It felt like I was about to have an anxiety attack when my train of thought was interrupted. “So, you are really going through with this?” I heard a voice ask as I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was beta Mathias. He was a great man and warrior and the pack almost respected him more than the alpha of the pack. I think he was the main reason why people in the pack left me alone. Being Kate’s dad – he had known me since I was just a few days old and seen me and Kate grow up together. He always treated me with respect and not like the outcast I was. But even he had tried to talk me out of pledging to the supreme alpha – knowing he couldn’t protect me in this. But when he could see that I was determined to due it anyway, he started training and preparing me for the selection. I trained along side Kate every night and every night I was amazed to see her shift and her
The supreme alpha POV Are the ready? I asked as my beta Steffan returned. “Almost! Alpha Mazon is making a scene as always – you should be aware of him. I don’t trust him” Steffan states. I smile to myself. My beta was always so protected of me. “I’m not a fool. I don’t trust any of them” I answer. “Then why are we here? Let’s go home” he said almost pleading towards me. “I need to show that I’m not afraid of them and that I will honor my obligations as supreme alpha. They think I’m weak for being a woman. They need to know that I demand the same respect as any other supreme before me. Not only am I the supreme alpha but I’m also the alpha of the biggest and strongest pack. And even though it is built on the foundation of mutual respect among every pack member I will use violence and force if I have to with the other alphas” “Then let’s show these assholes who the fucking supreme is! He said with a big smile. I smile ba
Luke POV Fucking fuck with extra fucking fuck sauce. What was I thinking? Was I deliberately trying to humiliate myself, my pack, my beta, my alpha……..my aunt! My heart sank a bit thinking of her. I really hope she wasn’t one of the spectators. She didn’t deserve this after all she done for me. She raised me and loved me every day as her own. She never met her mate and never got kids on her own. A part of me thinks she choose it that way so she could be there for me. Like she knew I was going to be different and that I would require extra care and protection. When the alpha ordered the beat down of me to get me to shift. She stepped in and challenged the alpha. She shifted and her wolf stood over my bleeding body prepared to take on everybody in pack. Even prepared to die for me. I didn’t remember anything after that. I passed out due to my severe injuries. I was later told by Kate that the alpha himself launched at her going f
Luke POV “Luke breath” the words rang through my head and my breathing slowed down as well as my heartbeat. My bones were breaking, and I was nowhere near in control of my actions. “Luke focus on my voice and try to regain control” But I couldn’t my body was starting to tremble, and my canines were coming out. Suddenly the supreme alpha stood up. “Beta Mathias – will you please excuse this boy from the ceremony since he is clearly not feeling well. Beta Steffan will help you escort him out of the hall so we can continue. Omg! She noticed – that means I created a scene in the middle of the ceremony. But what affected me the most was hearing her call me a boy. A boy! Not young man or just man – but a boy! As if I was merely a child who had snuck into the ceremony and for fun put myself among the pledgers. Maybe that was why she stopped in front of me – in disbelieve that I could be an actual pledge
Luke POVIt all seemed like a nightmare. The ceremony, the supreme alpha, my first shift but then I woke up and realized that it wasn’t just a nightmare. It all happened! And I started feeling sick.I was in my own bedroom lying in my own bed. I looked down at my body. My dads’ old suit was ruined just like my future. I tried to sit up, but my head felt like it was about explode.“Please lie back down before you hurt yourself”Omg! Was I hearing voices again?But then a figure stepped out from the shadows of my room.“Do I need to ask you again?” her soothing calm voice filled the room.What was going on? Was I still dreaming or maybe I died?Because in my present and in my room stood the supreme alpha. She was just as beautiful as I remembered.I tried to push my self up further, but the pain was to much and I felt the darkness surrounding me as I glided towards the floor and of

Luke POVI decided to walk through the city alone rather than return to pack house. There was no point in running after Kate if her demands of me proving my love to her was leaving Arianna behind. Her mother sacrifices herself too safe me. I weren’t going to abandoned Arianna now for my own desire to be near Kate. Fate had brought me and Arianna together, and if me and Kate were destined to be mates I had to believe that the Moon Goddess would intwine our destinies if not now then later in life. But for now, it seemed as if Kate was destined to be with Lucian and I to stay and protect Arianna. I cared deeply for Arianna, and I was more than willing to dedicate my life to keep her safe from harm, but right now this sucked. I wanted to scream and break something as I felt complete helpless in the situation. I wanted more than anything to just be able to leave everything behind and elope with Kate, but I couldn’t.Seeing Kate walk away and leave me for good wa
Luke POVArianna ran inside the pack house leaving me and Kate alone outside which had been the only thing I wanted all morning.I looked at the clothes in her arms that she still hadn’t handed me.I watched her eyes wander from every inch of my body and I wondered when she was going to notice that I too was watching her. But she was deep in thought as she examined every inch of my naked body with her eyes.“Can I have the clothes now?” I asked as I smiled at her. She blushed.“I’m sorry. Here!” she said and threw them at me.“No, no it is okay. I just wanted to make sure you were done staring at my naked body” I said as I started to get dressed.“Asshole!” she said and turned her back to me.“It’s a little late to turn around now, isn’t it? I mean you kind of seen the crown jewels”She turned around and looked angry at me: “I came
Luke POVIt was a fight to regain control from the wolf Lycan and my legs felt weak under me as I stood in human form once again. I could still feel him trying to fight himself back to the surface again, but I pushed him down and ignored him.I rather go back to having no wolf than let this manic take control of my body again.I was standing huffing and puffing like the wolf from the fairytale of the three little pigs as I tried to catch my breath.And then I noticed her little hand once again in mind. I looked down to see Arianna stand next to me and once again she was my salvation. I squeezed her hand and she squeezed it back while smiling at me.And if she read my mind she mouthed; “Always!” And I smiled back at her. “Always!”I thought it was over until I heard growling and I noticed Lucian hadn’t shifted back and Kate and Steffan were still on their knees baring their throat to me.“I release y
Luke POVI shifted into wolf form and let Lycan loose and his anger rushed through me and filled every inch of me.I slowly walked towards Lycan with my head low between my shoulder blades as I growled from deep within me. Everyone else took a step back as they all feared the big black wolf, Lycan.I hated how much I loved the feeling of him taking control. The feeling of limitless power and confidence. I relished in it and enjoyed feeling invincible. It was a feeling I wasn’t used to. Actually, I don’t think I ever felt like this before being in the present of Lycan. I didn’t agree with his constant desire to kill, but I liked how he stood is ground and never took shit from anyone. Even though the whole self proclaimed king of the wolves was a bit too much.Lycan had wanted to kill Lycan for a long time, but his desire for blood simple wasn’t reason enough to go around ripping throats out. But hurting Kate – big mistake!
Luke POVWe walked backed to the house as the sun rose above us greeting in a new day and setting fire to the sky with bright red colors.I knew we had to go pack our stuff before we left for home, but I really needed to get some rest and preferably some sleep first and then I desperately needed to see Kate, but as we arrived at the pack house the decision were made for me as Kate and Lucian were leaving.Alpha Lucian still looked very pale, and his wounds still weren’t healed properly. They weren’t open, bleeding or looked infected, but he looked really sick, not in a dying or weak way. He just seemed off. He was usually so correct and always properly dressed in a suit even though being a wolf often meant getting dirty and muddy. But today he looked messy and out of place.“You are leaving?” Iza asked Lucian, and he nodded uninterested, but smiled politely at her. She went to him and hugged him lovingly, but he did not return the
Luke POVThe sun began to rise as I started to near the end of forest and the pack house began to appear between the trees. I felt the first light of sun hit my skin as I exited the woods. Even though it was only a new it felt like a new beginning.I didn’t know if I had actually expected to come out of this alive but being here and looking up at the windows to where I knew the others were sleeping, I was glad I was. It was finally all over and I could start over. I could go anywhere and start a whole new life and leave all of this behind me, but where to start? I knew it was expected of me, that I would to go back home with Iza. But I didn’t have to. I did however still belong to her pack, but then again, if Iza weren’t a wolf anymore, could she then still be in charge or the Alpha of the pack. I didn’t know. And then it hit me, was I to be the new Alpha with Iza being my mother?“A king needs a kingdom” Lycan&r
Iza POV”I lied””What was that?” Steffan asked as he lifted himself up to lie on his elbows in bed.I had been sitting and staring out of the window towards the woods ever since Steffan had told me that Luke had left to confront Darian and his pack of rouges.He had brought Arianna in to sleep with us and by the sound of her breathing she was deep a sleep next to Steffan.I had cursed Steffan for letting Luke go into the woods alone or even go at all. But I also knew Luke was never going to leave with us, knowing Darian was still out there, so Steffan had been right to let him go. I just prayed he would return alive.Darian as an opponent was fierce enough, but facing him and his whole pack of rouges seemed like a suicide mission, so I had waited patiently at the window. Waiting for him to come out of the woods again. Alive and well. But nothing so far.I must have been sitting there for hours as the first gli
Luke POVI walked into the midnight air taking a deep breath in as the cold temperature of the night reached my lungs. It was like inhaling for the first time after being under water. It was refreshing and I let myself enjoy it for a second knowing what lied ahead of me.“Are you ready?” I asked out loud even though I didn’t need to.“Release me!” he both answered and ordered. And I shifted into wolf form and let him take control of me.I felt rush of adrenalin and I stretched in my wolf form. I suddenly felt unstoppable and powerful and more than ready for the task at hand. Lycan started to run through the forest. Even though he was big – he was fast and athletic and jumped with ease over fallen trees and in between branches.“Do you know where you are going?” I asked.“I got his scent – he is nearby” he answered as his pace slowed down.He stopped and gr
