Everyone left the room, except my dad, Alpha Logan. Alpha Christian stood in front of the door waiting on me to say my goodbyes to my family. Sadness crept over me as I approached him, preparing to tell him I would not be returning with him to his land. As I walked toward him he smiled, which caused my heart to hurt. I hated what I was about to do. I stood silently in front of him, gazing on his beautiful features, not knowing how I was going to break the news to him.
Alpha Christian was dressed in a dark blue shirt, black pants, and a pair of beautiful black shoes. His clothing accentuated his hard, well-built body. His long, dark hair was loose. He looked extremely attractive at that moment.
"Are you alright?" Alpha Christian asked me, worry in his voice.
"I'm fine," I answered nervously.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
I felt my heart start to race. I was afraid of disappointing him.
"Thank you for taking care of her, but she belongs her
"What!" Ares exclaimed. He couldn't hide the shock in his voice. He left the table and started to pace. "Cindy is my mate?" he asked, his tone one of disbelief. "Yes," I said, looking him in the eye. "She sold me to get rid of me, because she was jealous of the strange connection we both shared." "How do you know she is my mate?" Ares asked. "Because she told me," I said. "Also, Francine had to give her a weird green liquid to calm her down when you were passing by the secret cottage." Ares ran from the dining room. I tried to chase after him, but my father stopped me. "It's good you told us about this before he marked her. The pack doesn't want a Luna like that," my father said. "I'm sorry this had to happen to him. If only we didn't share such a strange feeling when we met, his mate wouldn't have done what she did," I cried, and went to hug my father. "None of this is your fault; the great connection that you and your
"How did you escape?" I asked him, frightened as he walked toward me, his bright red hair lighting up the room. "Wherever you are, I'll find you," Ares said as he sat on my bed beside me and stared into my eyes. I stared back at him, lost in the beauty of his eyes. Soon, I felt his warm large hand against my cheek. I was lost in his bright green eyes, just like mine. I never realized that I also had beautiful eyes. His eyes were mesmerizing. I closed my eyes as he gently stroked my cheek and caressed my face with the back of his hand. I enjoyed the touch of his warm hands and wanted to feel him against my skin even more. I slowly opened my eyes as I felt his hand against my left cheek and again returned my eyes to his. Ares gently moved his hand away from my cheek to move my hair from my face, placing it behind my ear. I parted my lips, lost in his attractive features, enjoying every moment of his touch. I could feel my wolf inside me jumping excitedl
"Get up you son of a bitch!" I heard someone shout. I opened my eyes and saw the small square door above me opening, and heard the creaking noise it always made. "Come, Girl," she called me. That was what Phyllis, my grandma, called me—my grandma—the person who had placed me in a cell as punishment. I didn't remember ever going outside. I could only recollect seeing the light peeking through the cracked walls of the cell. I held on to each side of my discolored, white frilly dress and slowly walked up to the small door. "Come, take this food from me," she said to me angrily, while she pushed the plate of food through the door above me. Ever since I could remember that was the drill. Tipping on my toes, I reached for it and quickly took it from her, not wanting to cause any trouble. I went to sit on the floor and rested by body against the cold concrete wall on the farthest side of the room, away from her.
"Come on, Girl!" Phyllis shouted at me. I took one step, then another, moving slowly. Phyllis grabbed my hand and pulled me into the kitchen. There was a knock on the door. "Stay here!" she told me, and went to the door. I stood still, obeying her. I looked around the kitchen, noticing everything around me. My eyes stopped on the window. I was disappointed. I was unable to see outside. The thick dark curtain blocked out everything. I heard Phyllis open the front door. "Good evening, Ms. Phyllis," I heard a man, with a rough voice speak to her. Phyllis returned his greeting. "The Alpha sent us for you because of the terrible storm heading toward us tonight. Since you are an elder, we have to protect you," he told her. "Let me get my things," Phyllis said. I heard her footsteps as she returned to the kitchen. "Let me help you," I heard another voice say. It was the voice of the same young m
I jumped up and moved away from the wall, scared of being alone with him. "I promise I won't hurt you," he told me. I huddled against the wall, wanting him to leave before Phyllis returned. "Can you talk?" he asked. "I won't hurt you," he again said. I nodded, wanting him to leave or I'd surely be in serious trouble. He did not leave but stood there staring at me with his dark brown mesmerizing eyes. "I'm Josh Hernandez and I'm twenty-three, and you?" "Eighteen," I said softly. A name I could not give him, for I had none, and I didn’t want him to know what Phyllis called me. "Wow," he said surprised. "You have a beautiful voice, but can I have your name as well?" I froze, not answering him. "Your name must be as sweet as your voice," he said. I smiled. His voice made me feel strange inside. "Yes, that's what I want to see on your beautiful face, happiness, not sadness," he said, cheering
I stood frightened, afraid to answer her. "Nothing," Josh said. I turned my attention to him right away, terrified, hoping he could get me out of that mess. After all, it was he who had started it. I didn't call him into the laundry room. He'd come on his own, desperate to know who I was. "Nothing at all," he again told Phyllis. "I just came in here to see if she was fine and she is." He looked at me and smiled. I lowered my eyes. "And what could be wrong with her?" Phyllis asked him, upset. "I'm needed in the living room," he said, and exited the laundry room, ignoring my evil grandmother. Phyllis watched him while he left and until he closed the door behind him. She impatiently twisted her right hand, wanting to punish me. The two of us were left standing in the laundry room, eyeing each other. "What were you two doing in here?" she snapped. "Nothing," I quickly answered her. "Nothing?" she asked sarca
I dug my hand into the ground, grabbing a handful of dead leaves and twisted and turned my head. "Hah!" I screamed, my voice strange to my ears. It was as if I could not control the sounds that were escaping my mouth. "Josh!" I screamed his name, not knowing what else to do as he sucked between my legs. I felt a strong feeling between my vagina and lower belly as if my entire body was going to explode. I removed my hand from the ground and grabbed him by his hair, lifting his head from between my legs. He pushed me back to the ground and started sucking on me again. My entire body stiffened, while he squeezed one of my breasts and played with it. I couldn't handle such a strong feeling. It was too much. I pushed myself backward, removing his mouth from me. I sprang to my feet and ran toward a tree. My entire body shook while I held on to the tree. Josh got up from the ground, wiping the wetness from his mouth. I pushed myself bac
I couldn't stop crying, knowing Josh was no longer with me. I'd only met him that day, but deep down it felt like I had known him for a long time. Even though he was a stranger, I felt safe with him and trusted him with my life. I had to find him after the storm passed. I had to escape and go in search of him. A strange smile appeared on my sad face while I sank my hand in the soft bed, grabbing on to the white sheet and thought about him. If I found him, he would take care of me and teach me what I needed to know about the world. First, I had to find out where he was. I wiped the tears from my eyes and sat up on my bed. "Are you finished crying now, Reds?" Cindy asked, while she sat on her bed with a book in her hand. "Reds?" I repeated. Suddenly, I looked up at my hair, realizing the reason why she called me so. I nervously turned my head aside, and stared at the room. It consisted of two pieces of furniture—the two beds. "Wh
"What!" Ares exclaimed. He couldn't hide the shock in his voice. He left the table and started to pace. "Cindy is my mate?" he asked, his tone one of disbelief. "Yes," I said, looking him in the eye.

Everyone left the room, except my dad, Alpha Logan. Alpha Christian stood in front of the door waiting on me to say my goodbyes to my family. Sadness crept over me as I approached him, preparing to tell him I would not be returning with him to his land. As I walked toward him he smiled, which caused my heart to hurt. I hated what I was about to do. I stood silently in front of him, gazing on his beautiful features, not knowing how I was going to break the news to him.

My father and my brother quickly moved from the porch as they saw me. My hands shook nervously as I held on to Christian's furry large beast. Soon, he stopped at the front of my father's large home. I remained seated on the back of his dark, hairy beast, holding on to a large patch of his dark fur, watching nervously as my father and my brother approached me. Gently, Christian lowered his back. My legs shook, as I carefully removed myself from his dark beast and froze beside him on seeing my father and my brother. Ares gently pulled me into his arms the moment he got close to me. I cried. I'd missed him so much, especially since I'd found out that he was my twin, and not my mate. He gently removed me from his hard, warm body and cupped my face, and stared sadly into my eyes. "I'm sorry for ever thinking we were mates," he apologized, while tears filled his eyes. "It's not your fault. I too felt the same way," I told him and touched his warm hands resting agai
My heart raced and my eyes widened when I heard what the man outside had said. I stood closer behind Alpha Christian, never letting go of his hands. I felt nervous about meeting him again, since he knew that I was his daughter and not some sad, weak she-wolf he'd saved. Suddenly I felt Alpha Christian turn his upper body. I raised my head and our eyes met. He questioned me without words. I shook my head. As we continued to gaze into each other's eyes, I saw a great worry in his eyes. He was asking me silently why I didn’t want to see the man outside. "Take me home," I said out loud, calling his home mine. "Aria," I heard my father say. My eyes widened, hearing the name my father had called me. "Aria," he called me again, softly. "Please let me explain everything to you." Not being able to stop myself, I moved from behind Alpha Christian, removing my hands from his and walked toward my father. "I wish not to see you, rap
His eyes widened when he recognized me, and he hurried to me. Still in pain, I slowly went to meet him. He wrapped his strong hard arms around me the minute he got close to me. I sobbed quietly in his arms, feeling safe. Alpha Christian gently removed my head from his hard muscular chest and raised it to his handsome face. He stared worriedly into my eyes. "What happened?" he asked me, while he stared at the ugly mark Josh had engraved on my right cheek, then at my head which was no longer covered by my long, curly red hair. I lowered my head and cried while he cradled my face between his warm hands. "My mate did this and I killed him," Emma said, sadly, and started to sob loudly, throwing herself to the ground. "He is dead. He is dead, and I killed him," she kept saying, as if she was going insane. I cried harder when I heard her crying in her grief. Hearing what had happened, Alpha Christian lifted me in his arms and carried me into
Frightened by his strange behavior and the terrible condition he was in, I raised one of my feet and kicked him the hardest I could in his gut. He released me and I ran and screamed for help, hoping Francine or her mate could somehow hear me. "You son of a bitch," I heard him say, growling loudly in pain. I ran for my life. Before going very far, I felt my long, red hair being pulled from behind. "Let go of me!" I shouted at him, as he dragged me back toward him and pushed me against the hard bark of a tree, preventing me from escaping. My body jerked and my back hurt from his hard push. "You are a fucking poison; that's what you are," he said angrily. "Ever since you have been freed from that cell you ruin everything for everyone who comes close to you." "Let me go!" I shouted at him, while I twisted my body, trying to free myself from him. He held me tighter, and again squeezed my neck, causing me to feel every nail o
I sat up, finding myself still in bed. I was so disappointed that I had fallen asleep. I looked around the room, seeing I was alone, and rolled out of bed. How could I have slept so late? I was angry with myself. I ran my hand through my head of thick red hair, remembering the pink liquid my father's Luna had given me for my sore throat. It must be the reason that I had overslept. The bedroom door opened slowly and the Luna entered with a silver tray on which there was a sandwich and juice. "You are finally awake," she said, with a bright smile on her face, causing me to admire how beautiful she was. I watched her as she gracefully walked toward me and gently placed the silver tray on the small bedside table. "Thank you for your help, but I can't stay here any longer," I told her. "Where are you going now?" she asked me, looking surprised at my words. "I have to get to Spicy Groove," I told her. "It's too late to leave now," sh
Days came and went since he'd been at that strange place surrounded by thick white fog. He tried to find a way out, but every attempt he made was unsuccessful. He kept returning to the same spot—the rock, next to the large stream. Where was he? He sat naked on a large rock beside the stream, staring at the large body of water while his mind drifted off. He held both of his knees to his hard chest and closed his dark eyes, remembering what had happened before he'd found himself in that place. Was he dead? Was he at the place where the soul of the dead wandered? If he was among the dead, why was he alone? Shouldn't there be others like him there who had passed away? He did not know what to think anymore. Being there for such a long time, he thought he was losing his mind. "Ha!" he raised his head and screamed in anger. He could see nothing but thick white fog around him. He rested his head on his knees while pressing them to his chest. His long,
Was the Alpha standing before me Ares's father as well? I was shocked at the thought. No, no, it could not be. Perhaps his father was a different Alpha, not the heartless wolf standing before me. The more I wanted Ares and I to have different fathers, the more I noticed how similar the Alpha's features were to Ares's and mine. I was convinced that Ares was my brother and not my mate. I clenched my teeth, trying to wipe away the horrible thought, not wanting it to be true. Ares could never be related to a monster like him. "You are safe, now," Alpha Logan said. He was clueless that I was his daughter or of the wrong he had done in the past. I did not move, not caring that he could see my nakedness. I continued to stare at him. Anger had started to bubble up inside me, building within like an endless tower as I thought about the horrible and painful life he had made me endure because he could not control his penis. "Come," he said, and stretched out his
