TEN YEARS LATER
I was searching for a job and a place to stay in the city, so I visited many small establishments. Eventually, I came across a shop called 'Cheap and Nice Store', which was situated between two bigger stores. It sold trinkets to tourists and people who liked to collect things. The shop was old and had few employees, so I thought it would be a great place to stay out of sight.When I opened my bag, I realized I only had $100 left. I had been walking for some time, but luckily I didn't smell any wolves nearby, so I thought it was a good time to start looking for a job to earn some extra money, just in case the next town or city had any wolves.When I saw the advertisement in the large display window, I was filled with hope. Upon entering the store, the small bell chimed and the kind owner, named Danes, welcomed me warmly. We had a pleasant conversation, and he was delighted to hear that I was interested in the job.It was a stroke of luck for both of us, as I was about to give up and find a motel when I had seen the sign.Danes hired me without qualms and in the few minutes we had talked, we felt like we had become fast friends. With the little cash I had, I was able to pay for a room in a rundown motel that offered me a bit of privacy at a reasonable price. The motel was two blocks away from the tiny shop. Feeling better, I was now restocking the shelves.I carefully pulled the tacky knick-knacks out of the Styrofoam packaging and placed them on the glass display shelves. Snow globes and brightly painted ceramic figurines filled the vision. With a polite smile, Dan handed me the bag I kept under the register and kindly ushered me toward the door. “I won't have my favorite employee work to death on her first day,” he said, “Go take a break. I'll finish here."That would be most unfortunate!" Danes chuckled kindly, adding laugh lines to his already wrinkled face. "I'm almost done here. I have just one more box -" He paused and looked at the young woman with a warm smile. "Don't be silly, dearie. I can manage.Go out into the sunshine. There will be plenty to do when you get back in an hour." The old man hobbled over to the front door, guiding the girl in front of him. He was touched by her kindness and concern for his well-being. "It's not like that, old man. I just want to make sure you don't hurt yourself," I said with a polite tone. He laughed and said, "It's alright, child. I appreciate your concern.As I stepped out into the sunlight, a book in my hand, I contemplated where I should go on my break. I had been joking when I said, "I don't want you to get hurt. Then who will pay me?" Danes laughed as he shut the door behind me, and I smiled, knowing that I was a good child.I had been working at 'Cheap and Nice for a few weeks now, and I was pleased to find that it was a clean and kind place to work. With my meager funds, I decided to go to a small café that had outdoor seating and indulged in a burger and chocolate milkshake. I was content with my meal and enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine.I settled down in the warmth of the sun, hoping to find solace from my worries. As I was engrossed in my book, I felt a presence watching me. Although I was aware of the gaze, I continued to focus on my book in an attempt to appear unaware.I took a deep breath, but could not detect anything out of the ordinary. Living alone. had taught me to be aware of my surroundings, and I knew that if the watcher was a wolf, I would be in a difficult situation. I could not identify what it was, but I could not help but feel slightly uncomfortable.Realizing I was due back at the shop, I quickly packed my tattered book into my bag and left the sun-warmed table of the little café. As she passed through the crowded street, I felt a sense of calm return to me. Upon entering the shop, I greeted Danes with a polite smile. “Hello, Danes. I hope you didn't miss me too much,” I said. “Amy dear, did you have a good break?” Danes replied. “Just fine, thank you. I hope you didn't hurt yourself carrying those boxes,” I responded. “No, no, I left them in the back just as you told me. I swear you're a bossy little thing and here I thought I was in charge,” Danes chuckled. “I'm just looking out for you,” I replied with a gentle smile. “Well, I'm stepping out for a moment,” Danes said as he left the shop.I walked into my motel room that evening, feeling a bit weary from my travels. I threw my backpack onto an empty chair and let out a heavy sigh as I lay on the comfortable double-sized bed. I hadn't laid in a proper bed in a long time, and I was grateful for the chance to rest.I had been on the run ever since I was 18 and had been a part of two other packs since then, both of which had been far from ideal. With my first paycheck, I would be able to find a more suitable place to stay. In the meantime, I was grateful for the chance to rest and recuperate. "No problem, Danes," I called after him, trying to remain polite.I recall my first experience with a pack in Primal pack, where the omegas were treated as slaves and had to endure abuse from the betas.I remember a particular incident where a beta male vented his anger on a Cora Hale male for a minor infraction, and proceeded to tie him down and torture him in front of his mate and pup, eventually killing him. Unfortunately, the rest of the pack acted as if this was a normal occurrence and did nothing to intervene.Fortunately, a neighboring pack attacked the Primal pack, giving me a chance to escape.The next pack we encountered the Satomi pack was no better, as they treated their females with disrespect. I shudder when I think of the experiences I had to endure, and I wrap my arms around myself in comfort.I remembered all the times I was harshly punished for not meeting the expectations of the males.One day, I witnessed an unmated female being mistreated by a group of betas. They acted like pigs, not wolves, as they tore into me. I can't recall how I managed to escape them, but I did. I shut my eyes and ears, trying to block out that traumatic memory.When I left the pack, I swore I would never join one again. I chose to live as a rogue rather than face that humiliation again. I lived among humans and found solace in my solitude.I worked in various small jobs to gain the necessary computer skills to create new identities for myself. I was very cautious to stay away from any pack territories and did my best to avoid any contact with wolves.Despite my best efforts, I was aware that my luck would not last forever. Nevertheless, I still held out hope that I could find a place to move to, such as Chicago or the UK, where wolves would not be present.I was racing through the forest, the air warm and welcoming. My wolf was content to be let loose, and the starry sky and full moon lit the way. I felt at home, and I could recognize the familiar path leading to a pond near my old pack. As I neared it, another scent rose in the air, catching my wolf's attention. The scent of musk and pine was overwhelming, and I heard I moan, "What is that scent?" Suddenly, a black wolf raced through the woods.The sweet aroma of lilacs filled the air, beckoning to him like a siren's song. As Kanye slumbered, the image of the woman became more vivid in his mind. I was a beautiful blonde, my hair as silvery as the moon goddess. His wolf was drawn to the scent, prompting him to find me. He eventually gave in and followed the trail. As he stepped closer, a twig snapped and I spun around. Before I stood a large black wolf, his coat shining with health and vitality. The musky smell of him wafted towards me, stirring my wolf with desire. He was a powerfu
Mate!My eyes snapped open from that erotic dream, his scent, his voice, and his touch replaying in my mind. I was unable to sleep, nor able to calm my pounding heart. My lips quivered, licking them slowly as I stared up at the ceiling. I could still feel his arms around me, I could still sense the lingering thrumming of his heart. The way his wolf growled, each growl promised that he would claim me soon. All these sensations and emotions overwhelmed me, leaving me feeling breathless and wanting more.No! It can't be, I whispered into the darkness. I shook my head in denial, but the wolf inside me knew the truth. 'He is our mate!' my wolf whispered, and I felt my body respond in agreement. I wanted him desperately. I wanted his touch, his kisses, his body, his thrusts, and I wanted him to mark me as his own. I wanted him, and I wanted him forever.I sat up on my elbows, breathing hard. I couldn't. I couldn't afford to want those things. I had to avenge my family, my pack. I had to
I closed my eyes as the blonde tightened his grip on my throat. I could do nothing to stop them. The werewolf law was brutal and unwavering. I was going to die. I hoped it would be quick. Suddenly, the brunette spoke up. “Wait! Let her go, Robyn.” The blonde growled in response, “She is a rogue, chief!” The brunette replied with authority, “I know, but she appears scared and harmless, let her go.” Robyn reluctantly let me go, and the wind rushed into my throat. I fell onto the floor, holding my neck and gasping and coughing. My neck hurt, and I was sure there would be ugly bruises on them in a few seconds. “Get up!” The brunette commanded.The other men moved back and he walked up to me. It was pretty obvious who was the leader here. Though the blonde still had a hold on my arm to keep me in place, he wasn't hurting me. His eyes bore into me and I quickly averted them, looking down. He tilted his head and asked, “You're a lone wolf, aren't you, little one?” I swallowed again, but
She was a tall woman. Everyone in this pack appeared to be taller than the ordinary person. She had skin that was subtly tanned. But that wasn't a false tan. She had short, clipped red hair. A lovely face shined with big brown eyes. She sported tight trousers, a white blouse with a zip-front, and black ankle-high boots.She approached them with a questioning glimmer in her eyes. She also cast a stern, authoritative gaze down at me. She didn't appeal to me. Den, what have you caught? She was speaking to the leader and exuding an aggressive odor.“She is a lone wolf named Amelia. at the city, we discovered her working at a souvenir store"Den remarked as she moved past them, entering the study with poise and grace, and sat down in the plush leather chair.Den remained inside as the men exited, closing the door behind them. Den took a seat across from the new woman in one of the chairs. Now that she was free, I stroked her arms, which felt surprisingly lighter.Before the female spoke,
The testosterone in the conference room was at its peak. Alongside their betas, who stood along the walls, the alphas of several packs sat around the big table. They were talking about the most recent attacks on a particular pack. Everyone was worried about what the horrific crime's consequences would do to the shifter communities' precarious sense of harmony. The families of the victims have already cried out for justice.Everyone in the conference agreed on one thing, though: if they failed to identify the criminals, the relative tranquility they had enjoyed for the previous 50 years would begin to deteriorate.Alpha Cain said, "Someone is trying to undermine the treaty."”My friend, I came to the same conclusion. Dominic Alpha concurred". They don't play around when they try to convince us that our people have killed one another in retribution. It's no secret that we three are the peace treaty's biggest supporters. Each alpha seated around the table caught his attention. There was a
Kanye turned off the engine and exited. There were other pack members gathered around the car. Keys to one were thrown by him."Don't just sit there. Return to your work. He didn't bother to turn around and make sure they were following his instructions as he walked up the manor's marble steps.One of his week-long journeys was this one. He was relieved to be back after a week filled with meetings. He has always felt as though he belongs here. He ran up the large front porch and was unsurprised to see some of the pack members relaxing on some patio furniture. It was the ideal night for outside seating.He might ask Den or some other betas to come out here with him later for a few beers. Naturally, the omegas would run away in terror if that happened. He smiled slyly to himself. How terrified they were of him was pitiful. Was he being unfair?When he arrived at the manor, he immediately headed for the stairs. Something had a lovely scent. Later, he would have to look around the kitchen
after changing into a brand-new set of track pants and a top. I took my time leaving the house and kept my eyes low to blend in. However, I sensed that many eyes were fixed on me. As they gaped in disbelief at the Alpha's mate, I could hear their hearts beating quickly. The information had spread like wildfire, and Kanye had issued a directive prohibiting anyone from bothering me. Many men jumped away from the wall, trembling in dread, sweat trickling down the side of their cheeks.As I entered the kitchen to perform my duties, the staff members stopped in place and forgot about their usual tasks. I groaned, wondering whether this was how things would continue to be.“You? Where had you disappeared to? I looked everywhere for you". I was surprised by Celia's words, which caused me to whirl around."You are the mate of the Alpha. You are no longer required to work here. The Alpha is requesting you, so hurry up". Celia stated before turning around and walking away, anticipating me to do
Tell me who hurt you, Amelia. I feared turning to face him. If he discovered I was contaminated, perhaps he would leave me.They didn't treat their omegas well when I was with the Delaney pack, I said. His unwavering focus on me encouraged me to talk.A couple of thetas ambushed me as I was rushing through the woods at one point. I struggled to flee, but No, I couldn't.My eyes started to tear up. Kanye experienced anger, pain, and empathy all at once.You were violated? He queried.I gave a tearful nod.His roar paled in comparison to the fury he was experiencing internally. His want to rip and tear, kill and maim, was so powerful that he could feel it shifting. It was the first time he had experienced this."Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry." While holding me in his arms, he mumbled.When did it occur? He queried."Five years have passed since then," I spoke.And who were they? Just tell me their names, and I'll torment them and make sure they endure it. He barked.I crept down that nig
"This is because I am what I was born to be," I remarked. Because I am who I was created to be, I am an omega.Kanye shook his head and said, "I'm as stubborn as an O2."He remarked, "Amy, you are more than just an Omega."You've been disobeying my commands on multiple occasions, including right now. I am aware that you are preparing to leave.I turned my head and avoided looking at him."After that, you killed your captors and survived alone for a while. An omega is unable to do that.He stood up from his chair and walked over to the area next to me. I retreated a little distance before bumping against his oakwood desk."That is meaningless! I am just a tiny Omega! Just smart enough for me to work it out on my own.At that point, I had no idea what to say. I was adamant that I would resist, though.Again, that blasted word, I said to myself.Through my sniffs, I could make out the serenity, but I could also make out the undercurrents of anxiety, slight rage, and hurt. But I shook my h
After some time, Kanye took a whiff of the air, and the doors began to open and close. He was aware of who was responsible, but I didn't seem to care as I sat by myself and thought gloomily."Alpha, I have to deliver these," I said. With some garments in her arms, an omega entered the space. Kanye recalled that he had asked Celia to give him some clothing. He intended to take Amelia shopping later.The omega ran off after hearing him say, "Thank you, you may depart at this time."Amelia?" The pleasant yet strong tone of his voice unlocked my mind.Was he furious at me? What exactly did he plan to do? What would I do with myself?Just as their gazes met, I looked away.Finally, he said, "Amelia."I was able to say "Please accept my apologies" before he could. He was baffled and speechless.Could you please explain your apology? Kanye was puzzled and asked questions.Without glancing at him, she said, "I broke the law because...because I felt out of place." Accept my sincere apologies; I
"The wolves who saved me were brothers and sisters; they gave me some soup, but before I could thank them, a group of wolves broke into their den and carried them out. It was against the rules to introduce a stranger into the green rock pack".“Regardless of my age or background, I was also brought outside and punished in front of my rescuers. They never spoke to me once more. They wouldn't have done it otherwise, and I don't blame them for it".This pack despised the Omegas. Omegas were not allowed to communicate with one another. I paused before adding, "Only those who were destined to be mates and siblings, were permitted to interact with one another.Because I was pushed into the pack and was not born into the pack, I said as I brushed the side of my hair back and gazed up at the ceiling fan. Since I didn't have a house, I spent the majority of my time with them in my wolf form. Amid the woods and bushes on the edge of the pack land, I dwelt.I heard Kanye whisper, "Amelia," to me.
I lowered my feet and started walking toward the forest. Before I felt my hands around my waist, I had advanced three feet. My body was raised into the air, and although I anticipated hitting a hard surface, it instead landed on top of some soft grass.He jumped on top of me, destroying my little feeling of security. My hands were being held above my head by Kanye, and the force of his body forced me to the ground. I had to widen because of his legs. In response, he pressed even harder against my center.I halted, unsure of how to react. He leaned down and touched my neck. I experienced his warm breath touching my flesh. He stopped talking at my ear and inhaled deeply. My entire body began to shiver without me doing anything.I dragged my head back till I could see well in front of me. He raised his head and fixed his eyes on mine. They had a vibrant green exterior with a gold rim.Why on earth did you act in that manner? He queried.He tightened his hold on my wrists, which I felt."O
Kanye got up and silently surveyed his suddenly soundly sleeping partner. I said, appearing at ease. My intellect would need to recover; my body was in good shape. He wanted could lick away mental illness, but he was unable to do so. He believed that if he gave me enough time and love, I would recover and turn into my Luna. He knew I was in his dream. The one was me. There was no sign that I was suffering nightmares. That brought me relief.He entered the room and walked right into Fiona. I grinned apprehensively at him. He combed his hair with his hand. He had completely forgotten about Fiona. I was merely a source of diversion. From the beginning, he had been upfront about it."So, that was your mate?" Fiona queried.He said, "Yeah," trying to find a way to temper the effect of what he was about to say. They had ended."That's fine; I can deal with that," She answered.The question "What do you mean?" He arched a brow.“Oh! This is just a minor bump in the path, my lovely Kanye, noth
There wasn't much time for me to think about the tattoo. His tongue was periodically darting against my smooth skin as his soft lips moved around my tummy. I deeply hated allowing him to heal me since the heat between my legs was now consuming my entire body.While the other hand rubbed the side of my breasts, one reached up to stroke my cheek and trace my lips. His lips swept over every inch of my chest, snapping my bra, but deftly missing my nipples.At last, his lips faltered, and I felt his hot breath on my breast as it grew harder. The question was, "Do you want me to lick it, sugar?"“No….” While writhing beneath him, I moaned.Kanye laughed.You should not fear; I won't do something you won't enjoy.He began kissing all over my breasts again, this time gently sucking on my skin and trailing his tongue over me but still avoiding my nipples. I endured additional suffering for a while. He had a tongue like liquid fire. I was struggling to breathe while trying my best to contain my
