Annette's POV
Sitting at the table drinking my daily coffee, if I dont have it, my attitude is killer especailly after an all nighter in the woods with Meda. I was deep in thought about Medas words last night, what did she mean ALWAYS? My mom walks in, taking me from my thoughts, her name is Eileen, she has thick brown hair, with baby blue eyes, she's taller than me I'd say close to 5'5 maybe, though I am not really sure to be honest. "Annette, you need to contact Alpha Mark sooner than later if you're still wanting to go through with your plans, you know I'd rather you just stay here but, I don't want you that far away from me, I will miss you too much." she says with a little sadness in her voice which makes my heart sting a little, I never want to be the reason for her to feel sad. " I know mom, I would love to stay with you as well, how about this, you just come away with me, it'll be so much fun!" I say this knowing full well that she'll never leave the pack, "Oh honey, this is my home and always has been, you know I can't leave it" she says with a small smile on her face as she remembers her life, "You love it here mom, I know. Everything will be fine, and if he says yes I will come visit every chance I get" I reassure her "Annette, why don't you just choose your mate, that boy down the street Lorenzo has always had his eye on you and he comes from a nice family" I roll my eyes inwardly at the thought, it's not that I don't like him, I do, he is attractive and nice, infact we did almost date once, but my mom is always pushing me to date him and in true to my rebelious spirit I just chose not to just because someone told me too, haha I know I know, I'm stubborn. "I am going to the packhouse today to talk to Alpha Mark mom, I will be back soon and let you know what he says." I say as I rush out the door, I can't stand telling her no, I mean I do kinda like him, would it be so bad if I tried dating him even though it's something someone else wants me to do? I do see the way he looks at me, and I hear his muffled compliments as I walk by sometimes. BAM! I hold my head, shit what the hell, I look up and I have just ran smack into Lorenzo himself. There he is standing there, about 6 foot, strong, dark brown eyes, beautiful ebony skin. "way to go girl, just mow him down next time" Meda laughs in my mind, "oh meda, lets shift and run away", "are you kidding me Annette, we never run, ever" Meda says sternly, which gives me my confidence back immediatly. "Um are you ok?" Lorenzo says looking at me with some concern, "Yes I'm fine Lorenzo, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." "Its ok, I'm a brick wall so take it easy tiger" he jokingly tells me, "I was coming by to see if you wanted to, ya know..go on a date sometime?" he asks kinda of timdily, a far cry from his usual confident self, his father is a Gamma so he tends to have an air of arrogance from time to time, I dont really mind it, he doesn't usually show that side too much so its fine. Lorenzo is 6 months older than I am so he just turned 23, he is also unmated, and has been eyeing me for years. Not that I mind his attention, I welcome it actually. It makes me feel good about myself to know a soon to be Gamma has interest in me. "Sure, but we can talk about details later, I have to go see if Aplha Mark will speak with me real qucik" my response leaves his head slightly tilted as he says ok and I run off to the pack house, but I notice he continues his way towards my home, "what is he doing Meda?" I ask her in my head "I don't know but it feels or doesn't it?" She responds, I push it back into my mind and move towards the packhouse.My palms are a little sweaty, I am not scared of the Alpha, I'm not scared of anyone, I am scared that he will tell me no and dash my dreams "just breath Annette" Meda soothes my mind "go in there girl, you got this, so what if he tells you no, we're stong we will figure it out".I knock on the door to his suite of offices in the packhouse, which is huge by the way, it is almost like a human hotel but a little more grand, maybe closer to like a fancy Vegas hotel. Alpha Marks assistant Veronica opens the door "Can I help you Miss..." she looks me up and down in the most judgy of ways, she knows my name, we had a class together in high school and we were on the same cheerleading team too, "Annette, Annette Valentine, I have a request I would like the Alphas permission on" I respond in an irritated tone, she stares at me for a moment then scoffs "wait here" as she turns around almost wipping me in the face with her long blonde ponytail, she also knows I am an omega and her b
Annette's POVIt's been four years, going on five. Lorenzo and I are married, we have marked each other, and it turns out he isn't so great. It wasn't bad at first, the first couple years he was really nice, charming in fact. We have two children together, mainly because we were expected to, and also because I wanted someone to call my own, someone I know would never hurt me, someone I could love forever and who would love me forever, my two boys are probably the best thing to happen to me. Lorenzo gives me a headache, one moment he is a complete ass, the next he acts all loving and caring, it makes my feelings for him confusing and I can't stand it. I dont know if I should love him or hate him. He is controlling, and can be mean, he always has to know what I am doing and who I am with at every second, he even spies on me at work sometimes, work..at least I still have that. I still bartend at the restuarant in the human town, its's my escape from my confusing real
TRIGGER WARNING, following chapter depicts abusive language and behavior Annettes POV I got promoted to bar manager at my job, I have thrown myself into work since the affair, I just can't stand to be around him, plus I know he is lying and still seeing her, I see messages between them and every now and then I feel the sting in my heart when he is sleeping with her. The only solice I find other than work are my boys and Meda. Oh and of course my girls from my human job, whom I've told all about my cheating whore of a husband. "Annette, how about we go out for a drink tonight" Denise says, she is one of my bartenders, she has worked here with me the longest and I love her energy, she is so spunky with her short brown hair and gauge earrings, she has huge snake tattoo coming up her arm and she has the best dance moves. " Oh Denise, I'd love to but I have to get back home for the kids" I tell her. "Annette, you have really got to get out for once and let go, let your ass
Annette's POV "Annette!" Meda chimes in my head "ANNETTE MOVE NOW" everything is still slow motion, not frozen but it's almost as if I could pluck the bullet out of the air if I wanted to. I turn my shoulder, at the last second time speeds back up and the silver bullet grazes my arm. I can't do anything in this moment but look at Lorenzo in utter shock, he looks shocked himself, his eyes go wide at the realization of what he's just done or maybe shock that I just dodged a bullet, either way he runs to his car and drives off, Veronica follows suit, she looks a little stunned herself but tried not to let it show as she turns to leave without saying a word. I go inside and lock the door, I check in on the boys, they are safe and thank heavens they were already inside in their room, I go in their room and climb onto their bed, hold them and comfort them until they fall asleep in my arms. "That asshole" Meda says with irriation in her voice, "I cannot believe him and Champ
Kantrells POVI’m headed to check in with our Eastern Territory’s, usually I would just send some of my warriors but my wolf Perseus, I just call him Seus because his name always makes me laugh at the irony of it anyway, he insist we go along, he says something big is coming, he can sense it. I can sense it as well if I’m being honest, I just don’t know quite what to make of it. We both have always had a sense of sorts about things, specifically other beings, we can usually sense their true nature upon meeting them. It’s a talent that has come in handy since my father Charles gave me the crown. My father insist I find and name a queen before the next harvest moon, which only happens twice a year, so I have about 6 months left to find a Queen or my mother will have me matched with a her best friends daughter, her name is Camille, and I definitely do not want that, she was fun to fool around with on occasion but, I can never have a meaningful conversation with her and being a
Tor’s POV We arrive at this restaurant in town, right on time too, everyone’s hungry and the smell coming from the restaurant is amazing. “Hey, if I can’t have any fun with the she wolves at least let me have some fun with a human girl Tor” Jow laughs to me, “ Ha, absolutely not Jow, they’re more clingy than the wolves” I snort back as we’re approaching the door. “She’s here Tor, I can sense it” Seus says to me, “who?” I ask, “Our mate dummy” he snaps back at me, then I smell it, as soon as I open the doors, it smells like fresh red velvet cake, it’s intoxicating. I walk around the corner and spot her immediately, “She’s perfect” Seus swoons in my mind. He’s right, her hair is a beautiful auburn color, she’s perfectly curved like an hour glass, and so short it’s cute. I can’t take my eyes off her, she looks up and locks her pretty eyes onto me and Seus growls lowly out loud “Mate”. I walk over to her, I want to scoop her into my arms and take her way immediately but I
Annette's POV"Wake up Annette!" I hear my mother call from the other room, dragging me out of my dream. "I'm up mom!" I yell back sleepily. I have never been a morning person, sometimes my mom wakes me just because she says I've been sleeping too long. I can't help it, I love sleep, more importantly I love dreaming, usually. This dream was a particular sad one, it was of my girlfriend Daniella who died in a car accident in the human town a year ago, I still don't understand it since she was a werewolf as well, omega or not I didnt't think it should have killed her. I'm pretty sure her spirit visits me in my dreams sometimes, it always feels so real. I miss her more than anything, I really loved that woman and her death sent me into a spiral of depression, I am getting better though. That's actually when I moved back in with my mother, when I lost Daniella it broke me down and I didn't want to do anything, not even get out of bed.Oh I should probably intorduce mysel
