Power

Summer is here again with its hot and dry state for Idaho. It bathed over me, swirling the tall trees and shrubs around. Mixed with the smell of Citronella, my father's sweet scent whacked me, followed by the sound of his huge footstep approaching.I was just returning from a run from the wood and had shifted back to human with my skin still tingling; my wolf was half close to the ground.With a smile on my face, I sat up and turned toward him."Dear, Father."The minute I noticed his somber mood, my heart plummeted into my stomach. The heartbeat races."What could be wrong?" Without waiting for an answer, I popped up to my feet and employed my Alpha heir power, trying to feel if anyone in the pack had been mortally killed or injured.I didn't notice anything unusual, so why does he look so troubled?"Father?"He faked a smile, but the expression wasn't vivid enough."You are been summoned by the Alpha King. It’s time."I started at the rigid white paper in his hand. Embossed letterin

The beginning

The Task Ahead /Favvy

I hefted the canvas bag over my shoulder and marched toward the guards waiting to take me away. As I approached, I studied them. They looked identical. Legit. The four guys were practically replica of each other… quads, or whatever four people who looked exactly alike were called. Brothers? Obviously. Same height, build, and even the same pinched expression of disdain, which their matchy-match sunglasses didn't hide.What was their deal? They glowered as if I were the offensive one.Yeah, I hate you too.Their outfits designated them as royal guards to the king, and anything related to the Uktena Pack I hated with passion just out of principle.Dark hair peeked out from beneath their caps as my gaze ran over their chiselled jaws and then to their muscled arms. Of course, they were beautiful. The assholes always were.The closer I got, the more my ire rose until irritation prickled my skin, and I had to grit my teeth to keep from snapping at them. Who did they think they were? Sending

Ambushed

The Task Ahead /Favvy

Not true, and my stomach promptly rumbled loudly, declaring my lie. Male wolves and their need to feed a female wolf were beyond sexist and annoying. I’d starve before accepting food from them. It was a move for power, and I wouldn’t play into it.The brother to my left sighed, and I rolled my eyes at the roof of the car.My attention was captured by the knobs and buttons; I wondered what they all did. Was that a television screen? I was going to ignore these jerks on the island!The driver shook his head. "Listen, cub, I can't bring a hungry wolf to the island. We have an hour's drive before we hit civilization."A green and gold package landed in my lap."There's a granola bar to tide you over," Kelly said from his shotgun seat.Bravo smacked Kelly in the back of the head. “Why are you being nice to her? Let her starve.”“Calm down.” Driver dude’s voice was softer than the others; he was clearly the voice of reason.The brother to my left looked at the driver next. “Moral, would you

Our Betrayal

The Task Ahead /Favvy

Honour chuckled, and without thinking, I swung my right elbow back, wiggling my body with the strike to give it extra power. I felt my elbow connect with his collarbone, and he sent out a muffled grunt, making me grin.He deserved it, and it was not anything more than I’d do with Mack when he was out of line.A blur of brown hair flew into my face, and I came face-to-face with Bravo once again.“Don’t hit my brother,” he snapped.Sucking in a sharp breath, I tried to swallow as my retort caught in mythroat. The other three spoke all at once.“Ease up, Bravo.”“I’m fine,” Honour said.“Give the cub a break,” Moral spoke from the driver’s seat. “She’s just asserting dominance.”Kelly tended to get out “Seriously, Bravo..”And then I missed it. “Will you get the hell out of my face unless you wish to lose one of those pretty green eyes!”I planted my hands on his chest, splayed out fingers over rock-hard muscle, and then pushed him against the door with a snarl. Climbing onto my knees,

Uktena Clan

My vision turned crimson, and I gasped. “ I Have not! The king ordered your clan to attack and they murdered half of my pack, including my uncle, before throwing the rest of us out and for what? No solid reason was ever given!”My wolf thumped against my skin, demanding to be freed. Whose bright idea was it to put us all together in one small area? And why was my wolf so eager to come out here and now? Maybe someone was aiming to get me killed.“Fia.” Honour patted my thigh tenderly as he spoke, and Bravo’s gaze flicked to his hand, nostrils flaring. “Your uncle was convicted of a high crime by the High Mage Council. Our alpha was merely following orders from them.”Shock ripped through me, and my mind blanked. High crime? There’s no way anyone in my pack would deliberately offend the high mages…Dad never told me what his brother had done, just that it had broughttrouble to our pack. He would’ve told me if it was a high crime though …right? The five high mages ruled everything, bo
