Waking up on something so soft my body never wanted to move. The sun had started shining through the window and there was a sound of someone snoring, I began to panic. No idea where I was and what had happened. Had meeting those wonderful people been a dream a beautiful dream, if so, I never wanted to wake up. Looking over I saw Zeke asleep, his deep red, messy hair was sticking up all over the place and he was drooling a little on his arm, it was adorable. Moving slowly to get the feeling back in my legs that were a little numb from lack of movement I winced and his eyes immediately shot open to looking directly into mine. We said nothing for a few minutes and just sat there looking at each other, but it wasn’t weird it felt comfortable. Managing to place a small smile on my face, his lip lifted on one side and he got up and left without a word, strange. Before I could do anything else or process what just happened the door opened and Evelyn and Walter

Zeke P.O.VIt started like any other day I went to school, pretended to pay attention, made out with some random girl whose name I wouldn’t remember and made my way home. Nothing exciting, well that’s what I thought.“You are getting it everywhere Walter, oh my lord you are doing it wrong, see like this” my mother’s voice was directing my father to do God knows what in the guest room, and I am not entirely sure I wanted to find out either. Approaching the guest room door, I made sure to clear my throat loud enough to alert them of my presence and make sure they had time to stop anything inappropriate. “We are in here honey” my mother called, okay the coast was clear.“Hey, what’s going on?” they were painting the room a deep shade of purple, and a bunch of random furniture lay in boxes ready to be assembled on the floor.“We have a guest coming to stay for a while” my mother said not

Zeke's P.O.VHearing her wince in pain made my eyes shoot open, panic washed over me but when I realise, she was alright I relaxed and just looked at her. It was morning and the light made it easier for me to take her features in. Her face was still swollen and covered in bruises, they would take a few weeks to fully heal. But everything stopped when she locked her eyes on to mine. Those deep midnight blue pools of perfection, I was completely lost in them, then she smiled at me, that simply act broke my heart. Feeling a wet patch on my arm I realised I must have drooled on myself, I needed to leave before she saw how pathetic I was right now. Getting up and leaving without a word probably wasn’t the best decision but my mouth didn’t want to work at this moment. What the hell was wrong with me?“She awakes” I told my parents as I entered to kitchen, grabbed some juice out of the fridge and leaned against the counter. They just looked at me and c

Axel P.O.VIt’s been week since they took her to another pack, and the lying bastard he said she would be back by now. Every day I would touch the scar on my hand hoping she would feel it and know I was thinking of her, that she wasn’t alone. Every day I waited to feel the tingling back hoping she was thinking of me too, but nothing, it’s like she wasn’t connected anymore. Needing to find out what was going on and wherever she was I was going to go get her and make sure she was alright. Slowly approaching my father’s office with caution, we hadn’t spoken since the day of Maddox’s 18th birthday, I had nothing to say to any of them, at least until now. Knocking I could already tell Maddox was here, he has taken over as Alpha but my father will still help out and over see things for the first year to ensure everything runs smoothly.“Come in” my father’s voice echoed through the hallway. As I ent

Zeke’s P.O.VThe boys were coming over this afternoon, I had gotten so drunk at the party and spilled how I created the healing potion for Annalee and how it worked. They claimed since she was healed, they could meet her and I couldn’t come up with a good reason why not. Honestly, she was still passed out so they probably wouldn’t get to meet her anyway and at least this way they couldn’t blame me. Hooking up with Vanessa at the party had worked on getting Jenny to stop texting me over the weekend, finally she got the point. The boy’s thought it was funny how Venessa and Jenny got into a cat fight at the party, it was a good fight, and honestly both those chicks are full on crazy. Maybe I should steer clear of both of them for a bit. Walking into the house I could smell mums cooking it smelt amazing, “mum I’m home, Henry and Eli are here” I didn’t tell her they were coming over but she loved them like her own sons so she d

Annalee’s P.O.VAfter filling in all the paper work, buying my new school uniform, and school supplies, I was set to start at my new school. Apparently, Luna Sophia had false transcripts sent here as well so I could enrol. All these years it had felt like she didn’t care, but apparently, she had in her own way, and I couldn’t thank her enough for bringing me here, one day I would find a way to repay her. Looking at myself in the mirror, I looked so different in the short time I had been here, my hair was shiner and thick, my curves were more noticeable because of all Evelyn’s amazing cooking, my skin was no longer covered in bruises and my eyes were brighter, the part of me that was so broken for so long was finally feeling like it might be starting to heal. It was all because of the love these complete strangers had shown me.My new school uniform consisted of a blue and white plaid shirt and white button-down blouse white knee-high socks and b

Annalee’s P.O.VI have been so nervous about starting school, sure Axel had helped me over the years by sneaking me textbooks and work, but I had no idea if I could manage. They had placed me in all the advance classes and I wasn’t sure why, I didn’t want to make a fool out of myself. But seems I was nervous for nothing, my Advanced Biology class was easy, all the planned curriculum for the rest of the year I had completed with the help of Axel's worksheets years ago, and I participated in class discussion easily. I was in my element, I loved to learn and I was finally being allowed to. After Zeke dropped me off at my advance mathematic class, I put my head down as I entered trying to ignore the gossip that had started about me. I wasn’t here to make friends, I was use to no one talking to me, I just wanted to learn so I kept my head down and found the first empty seat in the second row next to a guy my age. He looked a little nervous, clearly human an

Zeke’s P.O.VIt’s been a week since she started at my school, one week, and almost every guy in the school has asked her out. Seriously, I have almost been suspended like 20 times for punching people. Really, I could not blame them for asking she looked amazing in that uniform, the skirt went mid-thigh showing her toned tanned legs, and the shirt buttoned a little too low showing off her amazing cleavage. As much as I tried not to, I couldn’t help but be attracted to her, and not only her physical appearance. A few weeks ago, this girl come to us, beaten and broken and now she had started a new school, managed to top all of her classes, and not normal classes but the advance placement ones they put her in. yep, she was tested and tested out of our year level. She was smart enough to be placed in grade twelve classes and some first-year university level classes, I was in awe of her the strength and determination, it made me want to be better.My

Zeke’s P.O.VThe following night, me Henry and Eli got ready for the party at my place, Eli was driving as his power of alteration allowed him to change his birth certificate to get his licence a year early, his mum didn’t mind, she even brough him the car. Hunter would be here soon to pick up Annalee. She was still getting ready when a knock came at the front door and I knew it was him I could smell him, I hated that smell. My mother answered as dad refused to come out of his office. He wasn’t happy about her going to a party after everything she had been through, he felt she wasn’t ready. But the truth is he cares for her like a daughter, both my parents did, and he too was protective of her, she just brought that out in everyone.“Hi dear you must be Hunter” my mother’s sweet voice drifted through the house.“Yes, Ma’am, I am it is nice to meet you, I’m here to pick up Annalee” he was trying to

Annalee's P.O.V I felt free, running through the trees with the moon shining guiding my path, all the pain all the hurt from the past vanished. None of it mattered in this moment, I was not the unwanted child, I was powerful, strong and wild running with the dirt under my paws, and Zeke running behind me. I was safe. When he caught up to me, he pounced, crashing into me playfully and rolling on top of me. My wolf licked his check, he growled approvingly while I nuzzled into his soft under fur. Taking advantage of his distraction I pushed myself up and flipped him so I had him pinned under me. He was bigger than me and more skilled at being in his wolf form but somehow, I managed to best him in the struggle for dominance. He however did not seem surprised, or upset I sensed nothing but pride radiating from him. Licking him affectionately I took off through the trees again. We ran for hours, till our bodies could not push on. Finally we collapsed together in a heap and snuggle

Zeke’s P.O.V When she yelled at me, logically, I knew she was right I had no right to tell her what to do. I was just with Jenny in the storage closest, but when it comes to her, I don’t think logically, I just react and not in a good way. Getting through the last few classes of the day was torture, I wanted to apologise, I just kept going over and over what I would say in my mind. I was so distracted I had no idea what any of my teachers were talking about. When the bell rang, I sprinted out of the door trying to get to her locker first before that dick Hunter so I could apologise and we could walk home together, like we always did. Standing by her locker I waited and waited but she never came. “Hey, what are you doing?” Henry shoulder bumped me; I was so distracted waiting for her I hadn’t seen him approach me. “Waiting for Annalee so we can walk home together” I said still not looking at him. “Dude, she already left” he informed me. “What?”

Zeke’s P.O.VWhen she fell in my arms after her wolf came, I didn’t want to let her go, ever, she belonged there, in that moment I knew she belonged to me. I know we don’t know who our mates are till we turn eighteen but something inside of me knew it was her so did my wolf.Walking into school we went to our locker getting everything we needed for class. I was lost in the thought of her being mine when I sensed Hunter approach her, he annoyed me before but now it was worse. When he kissed her like that in the hall in front of everyone it took everything in me not to react, but I wouldn’t hurt her like that, not again I would learn to control my anger for her. When she told me, her wolf was pissed when he touched her, I couldn’t contain my laughter but what did she expect she has a wolf now, and wolves only like being touched like that by our mates. With that thought I wanted to test the theory I had of her belonging to me. Admittedly pull

Annalee’s P.O.V The next week passed slowly, my classes were university entry level and were putting me on the path to becoming a doctor like my father. I spent my lunch time between being with Hunter, and being with Zeke and the boys. I hadn’t made any girlfriends yet they tended to avoid me because of how close I was to Zeke, Eli and Henry and my relationship with Hunter, but I was use to not having any girlfriends so I pretended like the looks and comments (they didn’t think I could hear) didn’t bother me. Plus, I had bigger things on my mind this week then petty high school drama. The closer Friday got the more anxious I was feeling, I would finally know if what everyone told me at the pack house was true, if I would be blessed with a wolf or if I was going to never know that part of myself. The morning of my sixteenth birthday finally came. I woke early, to the sun filtering in through the small crack in my curtains, lazily stretching and popping my joints I had

Annalee’s P.O.VForgiving Zeke for the outburst was the easiest decision of my life, he cared about me and he made me feel safe, that one moment of weakness and poor decision making wasn’t going to change that. His behaviour wasn’t okay, but he knew that. Spending the day after the party training, talking to Hunter, playing video games and gossiping with Evelyn was one of the best days I could remember, and I wasn't as bad at the video games as Zeke made me out to be.Monday came and trying to pay attention in class was difficult, this afternoon I would be going to Evelyn’s store, she was going to show me around and train me. At the packhouse I wasn’t allowed to even talk about magic, they were all convinced I would try to kill them or something stupid. But Evelyn and Walter embraced that side of me they wanted me to learn more and grow into both halves of myself. They weren’t making me choose because they knew that being a wolf and

Zeke's P.O.VHow had this person had become such an important part of my life in such a short amount of time, I do not understand. I couldn’t imagine a time from now on where she wasn’t in my life. I fell asleep with her arms wrapped around me and I had the best sleep of my entire life. When I woke early the next morning to face dad, she was gone. Checking her room, I found her sleeping soundly in her own bed, she must have gotten up last night and gone back to her room. Still smiling remembering that she had forgiven me, I knew I could face dad whatever his punishment was, her forgiveness was all that mattered.Two hours later I was drenched, in sweat, my body ached and my legs couldn’t stand. To say he was mad wouldn’t of even came close to what he was. The workout he put me through made me vomit twice and left me unable to form a sentence. Now I had to do my regular training session with the boys and Annalee was joining us today. When the thr

Zeke’s P.O.VFrom the moment I arrived at the party I could see her with him, standing around the fire, eating smores, laughing and kissing him and it hurt like hell. She wasn’t mine; she could do whatever she wanted, with whoever she wanted. But she felt like mine, and I couldn’t get rid of this protective feeling I have when it comes to her. Her strength, her kindness and her beauty, every inch of who she was is incredible and he didn’t deserve her, no one did, not even me. But I had to respect her choices, she wanted to be here with him and she was having a good time. Seeing her laughing and that smile, that world stopping heart shattering smile, it was all because of him. No matter how much I wished it was because of me, if she was happy, I was happy, well that’s what I told myself anyway. When they left for the caves, I had to fight even instinct in me that told me to follow them.“Here, have a beer” Henry said “it w

Annalee’s P.O.V“Have fun?” he asked and I tried my best to push my hair over the mark on my neck. Turning side on so my mark was on the opposite side to where Zeke stood, I acted as casual as I could. Silently begging the moon goddess to let there not be a fight, I knew he said he would let me do what I needed, but marking your neck, in the wolf world was a big deal, and I shouldn’t have let Hunter do that, I know I shouldn’t of, I just got caught up in the moment.“Yeah, we went and seen the glow worms, they were beautiful” I mumbled. He pulled something out of my hair, shit I knew what it was.“You have bark in your hair” he confirmed what I thought it was “Annalee why do you have bark in your hair?” his tone was accusing like he already knew.“umm no reason, I must of” I paused I couldn’t think of anything, I don’t think he would believe I tripped and fell into t

Annalee’s P.O.V“Annalee, can I talk to you for a second?” his voice was to calm, to calm, and I finally turned to look at him and I was right he was pissed.“Sure” I acted like nothing was wrong “be back in a minute” I say to Hunter and without warning he placed a light kiss on my lips and whispered “I will be waiting” he didn’t realise that the boys heard because of their supernatural hearing. Clearly not liking what they heard, Henry and Zeke both growled and the air around us swirled, I knew it was Eli. I went from being an only child and no one wanting to talk to me to having three supernatural body guards and a boy wanting to make out with me at a party, wow things changed fast. I followed Zeke to Eli’s car, after opening the door for me and closing it a little to forcefully he made his way to the drivers seat. We sat there for a minute and I notice he is trying really hard to control his breathing
