“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

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

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

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

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

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

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?”
The Unwanted Child Chapter Twenty Six
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
The Unwanted Child Chapter One
Standing in an open field, I find myself surrounded by wild flowers that seemed to glow under the morning sun. The warm breeze ruffles my hair and soft grass can be felt under my feet. All I can feel is warmth and love flowing through me. My parents rest nestled together on our old frayed picnic blanket, watching me as I play. Laughter fills the field as I chase the butterflies and catch ladybugs to show them. We are happy. For me in that moment life was this endless possibility of hope only restricted by the limits of my imagination. There was no pain, no loss, only love, the delusion of a five-year-old girl who has known nothing else. As I let my father’s strong arms fold around me and my mother softly kiss my cheek, I know in this moment I want for nothing more than to remain here in this field with them forever.As blackened storm clouds begin to fill the sky over head, blanketing the once bright field in darkness. Happiness that flowed through us only moments

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
