Chapter 3

Alex

I don’t know why my dad insists I go to this stupid elder ceremony. I know we have to be nice to them and pretend to get along, but I was really looking forward to a nice run on the equinox. We don’t have to shift except for on the full moon, but any type of celestial holiday or event our wolves tend to get a little pent up. There was no chance I would be able to shift in front of a coven of witches. I doubt half of them have ever even seen an actual werewolf in person.

Dad said we’re staying with their doctor and his family. Apparently he has a daughter a little younger than me that’s still in high school. No doubt my dad is trying to force me to make friends with them. “Be nice, courteous, and respectful”, he always says. What am I a Boy Scout?

I know as future alpha of one of the largest packs in the northeast that I should be ok with all the pomp and circumstance, but I find these types of things incredibly dull. I’m what you would call an adrenaline junkie. I would love to see the world and do all the crazy things you see on YouTube videos like skydiving or bungee jumping off a bridge. Even though our pack is enormous I can’t help but feel isolated, like a caged animal. My wolf Ajax is a lot like me he’s always trying to push the limits and a lot of times it’s his crazy ideas that get us in trouble with dad. I struggle to always keep him in check, but I secretly like letting him take the wheel sometimes.

Ever since graduation a few months ago and turning eighteen last year dad has been getting on me about finding my mate and stepping up as alpha as the pack. I understand my duty to my pack, but I don’t know why I can’t live my life a little before I’m stuck here forever never doing or seeing anything else for the rest of my life. It’s not like dad is that old and incapable of caring for the pack for just a few more years. I’ve been trying to convince my dad to let me travel. I tell him it’s to find my mate, even though I know that’s not the truth. When I didn’t find my mate on my 18th birthday I think he became more open to the idea. After all what was a pack without a Luna?

I guess I should see our short 30 minute trip to visit the witches as a reprieve because at least it’s something different, something unknown. Maybe this is also dad loosening the reigns a bit to see how I would be outside pack borders. A test of sorts.

Ajax laughs in my head ‘you really think traveling to see a coven of witches will be fun’

‘Hey you never know’, I replied. Maybe this chick is really hot and we can get our dick wet at least. ‘You know I want us to meet our mate, but until then who says we can’t have a little bit of fun’

As werewolves we have one mate that is destined to be ours. We can only find them once we both turn eighteen. All through senior year last year I dated Brittany but when she turned eighteen after me she found her own mate, my best friend and future Beta, Josh. It was super awkward to say the least, but I’m happy for them. Since Brittany though things have been a little slow in that department and I could definitely use an easy lay. I look down at my phone thinking about texting one of the girls from school when my phone buzzes, and it’s a text from dad.

Dad: Be sure to pack tonight because we’re leaving first thing in the morning

Me: yea got it

Dad: get some rest see ya in the morning kiddo

Thankfully for dad, his text stopped me from making a poor decision. I don’t need some neighborhood skank trying to be the next Luna of this pack. I decide to just pack, take a shower and go to sleep. Hopefully this weekend will go by quickly.

    Chapter 4Sierra I was so glad the weekend was finally here. This school year was going to be so long, being so close to freedom, yet so far. I looked down at my phone buzzing and it was Stella, the owner of the bakery. I rolled my eyes at her text: “hey dear do you think you could come in for a few hours Stephanie called out sick and I could use the extra hand”. I quickly typed back that I could come by, but only for a couple of hours. Alpha Leo and his son were due sometime this evening so I’m sure mom and dad wanted me home for when they arrived.I had been picking up more shifts than usual trying to save every single penny I could. To be honest I didn’t mind making the extra cash. I hoped that if I saved enough for my trip my parents would actually let me go. Since I would be 18 in a few weeks I don’t see how they could stop me, but they’re still my parents so it’s not so easy to just disrespect their wishes. There was also the council’s permission I needed, but honestly would

    Chapter 5Alex I rolled my eyes when my dad offered this girl a ride home. He’s always such a people pleaser and way too nice to everyone. Dad always says that a good alpha knows how to be a leader without instilling fear in people. Something I have yet to master. I peered through my dads car window trying to get a look at the doctor’s daughter and was struck by a pair piercing blue eyes staring back at me. All at once I felt all the breath leave my body. She was absolutely gorgeous with long brown hair and big blue eyes that could see right through you. Her voice carried through the car window breaking me from my haze. “Sure that would be nice thank you” as she walked over to the door to the back seat and opened it. She struggled slightly to get in and looked up at me somewhat embarrassed.“Short people problems”, she laughed shyly and shrugged her shoulders The moment she got in I got hit with the most intoxicating smell. It smelled like cinnamon and sugar mixed with something f

    Chapter 6Sierra I walked as quickly as I could down the hall as to not seem suspicious. I walked across the main living area quickly glancing at my dad engrossed in conversation with Alpha Leo, mom, and Dave. I slip past them unnoticed and make my way to my room on the other side of the house. I quickly shut the door to my bedroom and put my back up against the door. I was breathing heavy and felt slightly light headed. What the hell was that?!? Was he trying to flirt with me? Seriously? I mean the boy is absolutely gorgeous. Alyssa wasn’t joking. He had to be at least as tall as his dad if not taller. He had on a simple Van Halen t-shirt and a pair of jeans, but even through his clothing I could tell he was pure muscle. I wonder what he looked like under all those clothes. I scolded myself, what the hell is wrong with me? I’ve never thought about a guy like this before I’ve always just been so focused on school, and the guys in my town are so immature and annoying. There was jus

    Chapter 7Alex Needless when I saw the tray of lasagna aimlessly floating through the air it took me by surprise. Obviously I’m in a witch’s house why would something like that surprise me. I felt so embarrassed by my sudden outburst. I felt dad chuckle softly next to me. Everything up until this point had seemed so normal I almost forgot where I was. Normally Ajax and I are so in sync, attuned and aware of everything going on around us, but since Sierra walked into the dining room and sat down across from us wearing that little low cut shirt he has done nothing but pace back and forth in my head. ‘Dude, seriously what’s going on with you?’ I questioned him ‘I don’t know something about this girl has got me going nuts. The desire to claim her is overwhelming’ Ajax replied Suddenly I look over to her and she’s staring at me with so many questions burning in her eyes. It was an interesting dinner to say the least. I know they’re just as curious about my kind as I am about theirs.

    Chapter 8Sierra Well dinner was a total shit show. As soon as Alex leaves the table I instantly feel bad. I help mom clean up the table and do the dishes. She scolds me for being less than a gracious host and tells me to go an apologize to Alex before I head to bed for the night. As soon as the door swings open I see him standing there shirtless. His pants hanging off his hips in the most seductive way. My mouth goes dry as I take him in. Suddenly he clears his throat and I’m embarrassed that I was caught ogling him. “See something you like” he says I don’t know what I was thinking inviting him to the bonfire, but I felt bad and its going to be a fun time. He seemed wary about going, but hopefully he says yes. I head back towards my room when I see Dave rummaging through the fridge for the leftover lasagna. After his comment Dad made him leave without ever getting a plate of food. “Man, those werewolves are weird as hell aren’t they?” He practically whispers “Oh they’re not so

    Chapter 9Sierra It was finally time to leave the house for Elder Wynn’s ceremony. Alyssa and I made our way to the main living room where everyone was waiting. “Aw you look beautiful darling”, my mom says I look down at my feet, embarrassed. “Uh thanks mom.” I look up and see Alex staring at me and I feel heat pool between my legs. What the hell is wrong with me. This guy is unwinding me with just a look. I need to get it together. Just then the image of him shirtless from last night flashes through my mind and I flush a deep shade of pink. I can see the flash in his eyes as he brings his tongue to lick his lower lip as if he wants to devour me. Dad speaks up breaking us from our little trance. “Feel free to follow us in your car. I know you’re not entirely familiar to our town just yet” he says warmly We head out to the east side of town that has been set up with a stage and outdoor tents. When an elder retires the town goes all out. When we arrive there are platters of food f

He thinks he’s above us because he’s a werewolf and the future alpha. You have to be shitting me. “Do you smell that” he says grabbing my arm as I try to yank it away. “Smell what? All I smell is fire” I say and finally look him in the eyes. Ajax is shining through and he looks as if he is on full alert “We need to get out of here now! We all do” he yells. Suddenly I see his eyes go white and I have no idea what’s going on. Alex places himself in front of me and I hear a rumble and growl coming from his chest as he crouches down facing the forest. As I look into the woods I see a pair of eyes shining back at me. “Everyone run!” Alex shouts with a powerful aura coming off of him in waves. The wolf comes through to the clearing looking at Alex and I. All at once everyone starts screaming and running back towards the town. I turn back around and

I’m honestly surprised you’re even standing here and not unconscious out in the woods” “Surprisingly, Dad, I feel ok. A little weak, but I am craving some chocolate, you wouldn’t happen to have any in your office” “What? Chocolate, maybe we should take you into an exam room and get you checked out just to be sure”“Really Dad, I’m fine go check on Alex. I think I’ll head home” “Not so fast young lady you’re going to come in there with me. Let’s go, NOW” Dad knocks lightly on the door and enters the room where it looks like Alpha Leo and Alex are in deep conversation. “Well your

    Chapter 15 AlexIt wasn’t until Friday morning that Elder Scott made his way over to pack lands. If I was going to have him check the border I wanted to make sure it was done before the start of our fall festival, especially with Sierra and Alyssa visiting. I met him at a local park on the very edge of the pack lands and we would work our way all the way along the border. “Good morning Alex”, Elder Scott said. He was dressed very differently than the last time I saw him. He looked so much younger and carefree dressed in basketball shorts, a t-shirt, and sneakers. He must’ve noticed me taking in his attire because he said, “Well I wasn’t going to go walking through the woods with slacks on now was I?” I chuckled. “I guess not” I replied.“Well we might as well get started, lead the way Alex” “You know, I didn’t realize that magic spells just fade away or become weaker” I questioned him. “Well the original spell was put on these lands over ten years ago by Elder Wynn himself.

    Sierra Once Alex left on Sunday I finally felt like I could breathe again. I definitely needed the clarity and the distance from him. I find myself replaying every word, and every look and realize how ridiculous I was being. He was a stranger and I was probably never going to see him again. I threw myself into my school work for the entire day on Sunday, welcoming the distraction so that I would not think of him. I was typing up my English essay listening to music in my headphones when I noticed my mom standing in the doorway to my room. I pulled my earbuds out queuing her to talk, but she just stood there looking at me. “Mom…. You ok?” I asked her with a quizzical look on my face. “Sierra” she said sighing and moving to sit on the edge of my bed. “I am so very proud of you for what you did yesterday, but I am also so very mad at you” she said. “Look, mom you don’t need to worry about me. I’m fine, and I certainly couldn’t stand by and do nothing” I said shrugging it off. “I k

Although I’m pretty sure she can handle herself, I wouldn’t be her big brother without at least mildly threatening you” Dave says, smiling at me. “Well I give you credit for threatening a werewolf especially an Alpha at that” I laugh his way. “You really don’t give us enough credit do you? From what I hear you needed her more last night than she needed you, but don’t worry I won’t go blabbing to your pack about how a witch just happened to save your life” Dave smiles warmly, clearly teasing me. “Believe me I am very grateful for what your sister did for me last night, I just wish I could repay the favor.” “I’m sure you’ll think of something” Dave says as he makes his way back towards his bedroom. “Hey Dave, wait a second, do you think the elders w

    Chapter 12 Sierra All night I couldn’t sleep, and found myself tossing and turning in bed. Using that much magic should have completely drained me to the point where I should be unconscious right now, but for some reason I’m more awake then ever. I kept playing over and over in my head what happened. Why were there even rogues in the woods? How did they get past the protection spell? Alex obviously was protecting me, but why? I guess part of the treaty is to protect the town. Is that the only reason he jumped in front of me? My mind continues racing and reliving everything that happened and all the possible alternative outcomes had Alex and Alpha Leo not been there. I obviously couldn’t just let him die. Would we have made it back to the town hospital in time? Maybe. Even now thinking about losing him is making my chest ache. I seriously can’t be feeling this way I barely even know him! For some reason I feel this strong magnetic pull towards him. I’ve never felt this way about anyo
