All Chapters of Tears, Trials, & Trust: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The three-story brown brick building sat proud and tall with a small playground on the grounds for the younger kids. Voices of kids filled the air as excitement for the new year began. Teens that were heading towards the building were flirting or joking with friends. Today was the beginning of a new school year. Some had hope, some it was their first, others just wanted to hang with friends and get out of their homes, and others hated this place. All the little groups of the popular kids versus those who were not were like hell on earth.  Alice scrunched up her nose in distaste for her last year in school. She knew she would have to deal with the bullies that littered the halls, dodge all the insults that floated her way and rise above it all and get good grades just so she could leave this place. She had her sights on leaving this pack and going to a university in another state in anoth

Sunlight filtered through the big bay window in her small room. It was nice having her own space even if she could not have anything bigger than a twin bed in it. Her pale yellow walls and white trim were the themes for almost everything in the room. Alice loved those colors as they made her think of the sun.  " Sweetheart, you up?" Her mom called out " Getting up now mom" Was the sleepy response. " Your birthday breakfast is ready for you." her mom added before heading back to the kitchen.  Every birthday for Alice or her brother her mom would make them a small breakfast of a few of their favorite foods. Then that evening it was cake and a small dinner again with favorite foods of the birthday person. It was a family tradition. One that Alice knew she would carry on to her own family. Making her mate and their pups feel special on their day.  Alice got up and proceeded to take a shower then got dressed. Wearing an anime shirt a

Alice was trying not to lose her shit all over a customer who was angry at her cause there was a policy of only being able to try on five garments at a time. This lady acted like she made the rules. No Alice was not the rule maker for this store or it seemed even her stupid life. After sneaking into her bedroom after the fight with Jared she laid in bed unable to do anything but cry. Then this morning her mom and dad blamed her for fighting with her mate and not just accepting him and forgiving everything he had done. Was it too much to want him to change. Though her parents told her due to werewolf laws she had to move to the packhouse tonight. You were only given 24hrs if you lived in the same pack to move in with your mate. A bit longer for long-distance relationships but those were far and few. Before work, Alice had talked to Marcia over everything that had gone down. She cried over the phone till it hurt. So now she was three hours into her eight-hour

I sat down staring out into the forest. My shoulders sagged a bit as I took in a deep breath. The last few days have shown me that I need to work on my anger issues. I got so mad the other night after my mate decided to run back to her parent's house. I felt like she slighted me. I am not that bad a catch. Tons of women have always wanted my affections. But no not my mate. Taking in another deep breath that left me feeling a bit more stable and it fought against my emotions. Morgan my long-term Girlfriend is upset I broke up with her. But she knew it would happen. We both did if my mate was someone else.  Who would have thought the girl from the most poorest family in my pack was my future Luna. Even worse we all made fun of her all the time. Thinking back to all the shit I have put her through over the years pains me and my wolf. We both feel like we failed her. A mate and Alpha should be there for his pack not slamming them into the dirt. I knew that

Going to bed after he said that Alice stood in the room and then looked at him as a thought came to her mind. Her eyes sought his and then she removed any emotion from her face. Her hands went to her hips as she stood just inside the door as he was inside the room stripping off his shirt as she began to stare at him. " Did you get a new bed?"He laughed softly" I not only got a new bed baby but new sheets and pillows. " He then sent her a wink as a smirk found its way on his handsome face. " I told you that I am all in so whatever my female wants I will provide." Tilting her head off to the side of her head she squinted at him. " Does this mean if I wanted to repaint your room you would let me?"He bit his lower lip for a moment then he answered" To a point. I will not sleep in a pink or light purple room." Alice laughed at that" I am good with black and white or silver." He smiled at her then finished getting undress
