NANCY'S POV
"Rise and shine sleepy head, you don't wanna be late on your first day at training."
Jaden's annoying voice floated into my ears, disturbing my hard earned sleep.
A groan slid past my lips as I curled up defiantly, hugging my pillow closer to my body, silently daring him to ruin this for me.
'Fuck training,' I thought.
Not like I wish to spend my mornings watching sweaty werewolves fight each other.
But Aaron, the alpha, had ultimated that I join training now that I'm better and back on my feet.
That fucker hadn't even given me a choice.
Like it's his nature, he'd commanded in h
NANCY'S POVBut he was and he was smoking like a fucking furnace.I wonder how someone can look this royally pissed this early in the morning already.The training ground is a seemingly endless expanse of land and it was already full.I looked odd in my clothes as everyone else was wearing their training clothes, much similar to the one that had been in that box.I hate standing out and now I wished I had given in and had worn that.Jaden, that bastard, left me standing alone and confused as he went ahead to fall into line in the crowd of bustling werewolves, rearing to go.I could feel Aaron's glaring eyes on me and wished I could j
NANCY'S POV"Let's hope you are at least good at one thing"Ugghh, the nerve of him to be so condescending.They should make murder legal for once and I swear to the heavens and hell that I'd give offing this one my best shot.The other people around us had no issues falling into position and starting off.I remained in my spot, glaring at the son of the devil I'm supposed to answer to.The anger burning inside me was slowly rising to the surface, fueling me to a rage."Let's see what you got, well except your big mouth."He was baiting me and those were the exact words I needed to hear.
NANCY'S POVMy heart beat faster as I ran as fast as I could, but the sound was getting closer and closer and scarier.My heart beat a tattoo against my chest as I said every prayer I know to every listening God up there.Then I saw it, a big, black, snarking wolf.Not as big as Aaron's wolf had been but he looked just as dangerous and ready to pounce.'Oh my God, I'm dead meat.'His pace slowed as it stalked towards me, a scream sat at the tip of my tongue but it wasn't coming out.I was frozen in my spot as I watched it watch me, getting closer to me and looking ready to strike.While growing up, I'd been trained to defend and protect myself from equal opponents, but I've never faced off a werewolf and I doubt I can be a match to one.He snarled again at me and then he lunged.That scream did leave my mouth as I w
AARON'S POVI carried her back to the pack house, still bristling from that fight with the rogue.The bastard had crossed boundaries and he'd fucking entered my pack and he'd attacked.........her.She felt so small in my arms, too fragile, like she'd break if I hold her too tight.I could still hear her sniffling.The fucking bastard had made her cry.'I want to fucking rip him open over again and make him bleed out from every fucking orifice in his body.'Aragon growled in my head.'I know, man, I want the same thing, and that bastard is lucky as fuck he died the way he did.'Her small hands clung to me, holding on strong like her life depended on it.I wanted to say something, calm her down and tell her that everything is okay, but the words weren't coming out.Because that's not the guy I am, I d
NANCY'S POVThe incident with the rogue wolf had shaken me so much that even days after I still feel the fear that had engulfed me that day.I know it's because the incident had triggered the memories of what had happened to my parents and Kelvin the night they'd died.I'd seen their body after, it had made me throw up.The memories had kept me up the first night, haunting me, now I wake up screaming from nightmares, dreaming he'd gotten me before Aaron did and had gutted me the same way my family had been.Aaron had saved my life, again, and now I owed him for it.I've not seen him again since that day and that's because I crawled back to the place I'd been in the last time, too scared to go beyond my room, too disspirited to try.I heard from Maya though that he was away on pack business, doing alpha stuffs.Not that he'd have bothered with his hu
NANCY'S POVI like Derek.He doesn't make me feel the way that Aaron does, doesn't make me burn for something, and that's frustrating on its own, but I like the man he is.And it seemed he does like me too.That brought a smile to my lips, reminding me of the things he'd said to me.If not, why else then would he be asking me out to.......dinner?After everything vtgats happened, he did give me something to look forward to today.The dark clouds were begining to lift again and it was like with him here, I can actually do it, you know, push through.I'd mentioned it to Amelia, my dinner date with Derek and she had been way over the moon for me.She promised me a dress and a little makeover to booth.Something to enthral the beta with, that was what she had called it and I'd agreed while hoping we don't go way o
NANCY'S POVAfter that weird conversation with Caden, we did enjoy the meal he'd made.I must commend his food, boy can the guy cook.Perfect toasts, omelette and bacon with a glass of fresh juice, it was just perfect.I was considering asking him to marry me again, if only I can get the words past my lips.I think I literally had my first food-gasm while eating all that.He had to leave though before he was even done eating, something about being needed by the pack and the stuffs that goes with the likes of it.I happily agreed to clean up after us and get the dishes done.If I can get his handsome self to make us something this good everyday, then I might sign myself to doing the other kitchen duties for the rest of my life.If only though.I finished up in here, making sure that everything were in place and then
NANCY'S POVAt some point, I became so relaxed with Victor and Mariam.They were nice people, and all the paranoia had been on my part.By the time I left the room, I had some embarrassing story on all the boys, including high and mighty Aaron.They reminded me of my parents and the family that I'd lost and they were nothing like the monsters I've been taught to believe werewolves to be.I know there are the bad ones out there but Mariam and Victor are definitely not it.I went back to my room instead, after I'd left their chamber, one part of our conversation replaying in my head.Mariam had asked why I wasn't in school like the rest of the pack members and I hadn't been able to come up with any answer that quite suite her.Or her husband.They seemed to think it wrong that I've been in here ever since my arrival to the pack house.
NANCY'S POVI ran out of my room, hurrying down the hall and stairs in a blind race to find him, stopping myself from considering the possibility of someone else still lurking in here looking for who to harm.It'd really suck for me to die now, without even getting to at least have a proper boy or get married and have kids.Hell, I haven't even lost my V-card yet.I needed to find him and fast before whoever that guy is gets further away and out of reach.I knew for sure that he wasn't in his room because I'd watched him take the stairs but I have no fucking idea where he'd be in this insanely large house.Fuck."Aaron." The name was like a small prayer on my lips as my eyes darted around the sitting room I just ran into, with lots of pairs of eyes staring at me like I'm a freak.I ignored the looks, focusing my thoughts on the only thing that mattered in the moment, the more time I take in finding him, the further that man can get and that will be it.He'd be gone and if he'd been
NANCY'S POVHe kissed me.Of all the people in this house, Aaron was the last person I'd been expecting to see at the other side of my door when I'd heard the knock.I'd thought it was Jaden coming back to give me one more dose of his warnings to stay indoors until everything have been sorted and the killer caught.But when I opened my door, I find Aaron there instead, his face washed with sudden relief?Before I could ask if there was any problem or if he needed me to go over the details of my dreams one more time, because that's what everyone seems to be interested in today, he just........kissed me.Yeah he did, just closed the distance between us and covered my lips with his and I swear I don't know what to do with him.One minute I'm indoors as instructed, grieving over the sad news I'd just received and the next, I'm in his arms, his lips crashing down on mine.There's nothing hungry or coarse in the soft glide of his lips against mine or the pleading probe of his tongue begging
AARON'S POV The girl looked like she'd been terrified before she'd died. She had her eyes open even in death and the horrors of her last moment reflected in her lifeless eyes. The memory of the dream that loudie had painstakingly described to me sat dominantly in my head, the coincidence of the two was to perfect to leave me in comfort. Loudie, she reminded me of a Saura. The blessed wolves of the moon goddess. It's been so long since we've had those in our packs. And the chances were slim because she was human. She confuses the hell out of me and it was hard figuring her out. And somehow she's managed to crawl under my skin and remain there. I ordered for the body to be taken to the lab for post mortem examinations and the rest of the protocols before she's laid to rest. I want to know everything I can on what had happened to her. It had been my fucking duty to prot
NANCY'S POVI woke up late from my long, dreamless sleep.He was gone by the time I did, but I couldn't get over the fact that he'd come for me at all.He's the reason I was able to sleep back after that horrible dream that I'd had last night.It had felt so safe and secure in his arms, like nothing in this world could touch me in their security.Not that I expect this to change anything between us.I've learnt to curb my expectations when it comes to him.It is safe and less painful.I'm sure he's reverted back to Alpha Aaron by now.Last night, he'd been Aaron, just Aaron, my nextdoor neighbor and my savior.I dragged my tired body to the bathroom to brush, 'ready' to get ready and get out of my coop, take the day and my life.I might be brave enough to finally talk to him about school today, who knows.His mother had advised me to, after all.I missed them, his parents I mean. They are nice f
AARON'S POVSomehow, being with her and listening to her seemed to be what I'd needed this night.I'd come into her room with every intention of banishing the demons of her nightmare but as I sat holding her small figure, her intoxicating scent flirting with my senses, it was mine getting put to rest.It was there, everything I shouldn't be feeling, and I came closest to believing what Aragon has been throwing at me.Maybe she's our mate, maybe the moon goddess did out do herself this time.Not that it makes any sense and neither do I plan to do anything about it even if it's true.It did feel good allowing myself think about what it'd feel like to give in to the mate bond with this little firecracker.But it'd be best for the both of us if I stay away and ignore the pull I feet towards her petite sweetness.I didn't have to look to know that she's finally fallen asleep again, hopefully this one will go without the nightm
NANCY'S POVI was surprised to see him in my room when my eyes finally came open, freeing me from that horrible dream.It'd only been a dream, the dreadful scene I'd been trapped in, but somehow, his voice and his promise to protect me had gotten through to me and had been the beacon that had lead me out of that gripping darkness of a nightmare.I was too scared to fight the holding his strong arms around me, holding me to him like some child in the sure, protective arms of its father.I needed his strength and the reassuring bass of his deep, velvety voice promising me that it's okay, that I'm safe here with him.I let him hold me to the sculpted hardness that is his body, clinging to him like my life depends on it.At this point, I think it probably does.My abdomen hurt, I knew it was the spot that Laura's fist had impacted during the last practice.
AARON'S POVThis week just keeps getting worse.First there's the elusive pussy that is Gerald Hawkins who's driving me fast to the end of my patience.The son of a bitch tries to kill me and then goes under, missing in action.He's been on an infuriating low, with no real news on him from my tracking team and somehow he's avoided the traps I've shared for him.His coward ass is pushing me to a rough end and once I'm there, fuck boundaries and territories, he'll beg for a place in hell to hide from me and I'll find him there.I need to know that my pack will always be protected, their safety comes before anything else but with him still out there, that safety and protection could be jeopardized.And now I have to add the wolf that I'd ripped to death.We still can't figure out who he is and why he'd been there.I have my suspicions
NANCY'S POVI was back in the training ground, but now the endless expanse of it was empty, except for Laura who was smiling at me with a mean gleam glowing in her eyes.She looked scary like this and it made my heart beat faster.The silence surrounding us was eerie and then there was the disconcerting rustling of leaves I couldn't see and the chill that made goosebumps rise on my skin.And then, there was the looming darkness in the sky, threatening to swallow us all in the entirety of its blackness.I didn't want to be here and there didn't seem to be any way out, to escape this, escape her.And without warning, she was on me, her weight smashing my small form to the ground.She was on me in no second, hitting the holy crap out of my poor soul.Her eyes were gleaming and she didn't look so much like herself anymore.She was hitti
LAURA'S POVShe looks just like I expected her to, small, too young and disgustingly innocent.I wanted to protest when Aaron asked that I train with her this morning, I didn't come here to sit some slutty human child through training, but I don't want to swing on his bad side already.There's nothing special about her except the fact that she's human, weaker and shouldn't be here in the first place.Yet, here she is poaching in my territory and on my men.I plan to send her right where she belongs, in the lab where the rest of her kind are.I won't have some human brat ruin my carefully constructed plans.I'm sure Makal will like to hear
