Chapter 1: Not a normal day

"Run," her mother had told her. And her mother hadn't been the only one to say it. It was the first thing her wolf had told her.Her sister had shouted it the last time she saw her. And, Dahlia Stuart always did. "Lia!"The male voice called after her as she ran through the woods. Dodging foliage and fallen trees with a practiced ease. "Stop!" He shouted. "He wishes," Nova, her wolf snickers in her mind as they break through the treeline and slows to a walk. She stands on the riverbank and grins. A couple of figures exit the trees. "You win," a tall brunette girl says as she joins her. "As usual.""You say that like it's a bad thing, Jael," Lia grins."Why do we even try?" A lean boy, in his late teens says after he clears the trees. "Because it's good practice," an older man says as he nears the group. "You can run laps at the track alone if you prefer.""She always wins," the boy complains. "Winning implies competition," Jael states. "Or is your ego to fragile to handle-"

Chapter 2: New friends

Roger had made them run again, then spar until the end of the session. When they are all dismissed, Dahlia and Jael head towards Dahlia's house. They are stopped before they can go very far."So, you're fast huh?" Tyler says to Dahlia as he catches up to them. Dahlia nods. Jael snorts a laugh."Oh she's the fastest in the North Western territories Junior trials," Jael brags about her friend. "In both forms." Earning a raised brow from the alpha. "She was fast, even before her wolf.""Goddess, Jael! Please stop," Lia begs her best friend through a mind link. "Impressive," Tyler says."Well, they always encouraged us to find a physical activity we were good at as kids," Lia parrots what her brother always says when people ask them. Jael snorts. "Yeah but you made it half your personality.""I did not," Dahlia shakes her head. She looks at Tyler. "It was always just something I did to clear my head. Rarely had a bad run in the woods, you know?" "Sure," Tyler nods. They can tell he is

Chapter 3: More of the same

"Hey I met your new friend today," Nash grinned as he sat down at the table with her. She had been working on her homework."What?" She looks at her brother. "The Alpha Exchange guy, Tyler. He said he's in Roger's group with you. Alpha Lars will be glad you've gotten along. You know how he loves to gloat about his trophy winning teams.""I won a couple races, not like I won any Warriors Games. And they were just Junior trials.""For the whole territory," Nash points out. "And you deserved it. You train twice as hard as most of those guys. And harder than almost anyone in our pack.""It's just running," she tells him. "It's not that hard.""Well, there is a reason they put him in your group and not like Beckett or Noah's groups. I'm just saying.""If you say so, Nash.""I know so, Dahlia."School the next day was more annoying than usual. The visiting alpha student was the talk of the town. Gemma and her friends barely left him alone. "How'd you shake the glam gargoyles?" Jael asks a

Chapter 4: Go now

The next couple weeks are more of the same. They go to school, train, and hang out in the downtime they have. Sometimes Tyler ends up dragged into some semi-official alpha education with Alpha Lars. Until one day at training. Roger shouts for everyone to get back to the pack house immediately. "What's going on?" Vincent asks. Before he can answer they hear shouting and growling in the distance."Rogues!" Someone shouts."Get him out of here," Roger looks at Lia gesturing to Tyler."Me?" "You know the woods best, I know you can do this." Roger mind links her as he heads in the direction of growling. "Go now!""Just follow me!" Lia shouts to the group. Tyler and Jael nod and follow her."Who put you in charge?!" Vincent shouts. "Roger, duh!" Jael asserts. "Or don't follow, it's your life!" She shouts back. "Shouldn't we help?" Tyler asks as they hurry towards the main pack territory. They aren't going too fast so that the group can stay together. "Not our job yet," one of the oth

Chapter 5: Saige

"I can watch her, Lori. I'm sure you have you hands full with the others.""Thank you, Lia." Lori disappears into the crowded room. Lia sets Saige down but keeps her little hand tucked in her own. They make their way over to Jael and Tyler."See, like a shadow," Jael whispers to Tyler."Hey, kiddo," Jael smiles at Saige. "Hi Jae," Saige mumbles but she is staring at Tyler. Tyler looks between Jael and Lia."I'm not exactly great with kids," he admits, avoiding looking at the small child who is just staring at him.Lia grins. "Saige, this is Tyler, he is one of your dad's students. He is from another pack.""You know my dad?" Saige says. "Uh yeah," Tyler nods. "He's a good trainer."It is awkwardly quiet for a moment before Saige smiles at him. The small child begins talking the younger alpha's ear off now that she knows he is not a dangerous stranger really. Tyler isn't sure what to do. So he just nods and listens to the little girl talk. He glances up at Lia when Saige let's go o

Chapter 6: Birthday Breakfast Cake

Lia shuts off her alarm as she wakes up like she does every other day, but stops by her desk after getting dressed. There was a good sized box with a ribbon on her desk and a smaller one next to it. She opens the larger of the two and finds a new pair of shoes she had been telling her brother she wanted for training, but they had been a bit pricey and she was going to ask James about getting. Nash had got them for her. She set them aside and opens the small one. It had a set of headbands in it that had various flowers on them. She picked up one that had collarette dahlias. She notices another with waterlily dahlias. "Bit on the nose, but lovely," Nova grins in her mind. "Wear the waterlily one." She redoes her hair with the new headband. "Happy Birthday, Lia," Nova tells her as Lia looks in the mirror."Thanks, Nova," Lia smiles. "We could find our mate any day now," Nova reminds her. "Maybe," Lia nods. "You should head down soon, your family may think they are being stealthy, bu

Chapter 7: It's the thought that counts

No one complains when Roger lets them out of training earlier than usual. "Saige is so excited you guys are coming over for dinner," Roger says as they leave the training grounds. "Cam is cooking, so of course, we'll be there," Jael teases. "I should make you run laps for that, but I'll let It slide, this time because it's Lia's birthday." “So kind of you,” Jael grins. Lia and Tyler just watches the back and forth with amusement. Tyler was familiar with the fact by now that Jael will argue with anyone no matter what power or authority they might have. Her friends and family having to rein her in. Or at least that is how she was when it came to defending, and sometimes just interacting with, people she cares about. “Go home,” Roger tells them all as he shakes his head. “Happy birthday, Lia.” “Thanks, Roger.” They all head home to get ready for her birthday dinner. She lets herself into her home. It is quiet, as it usually is this time of day. Her brother is on patrol, but he alw

Chapter 8: Birthday Dinner

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Saige shouts as loud as her little lungs can when Roger opens the door to let them in.“Thanks, Saige,” Lia laughs as she accepts the hug from the little girl. She waved at Nix and Tyler, who were talking in the living room. Lia was surprised to see Nix there. She knew he was Cameron’s half-brother, but she figured he’d be on patrol. She looked at Roger.“He managed to swap his shift with Harris for the night. Harris says ‘Happy Birthday’.”“That’s nice of him,” she gives a sad smile. She wished the same could have happened for her brother. She knows Nash was bothered by the fact that he couldn’t get out of his duties for one night. James had tried, but Beta Oliver was not having it. Oliver had insisted their best Warriors couldn’t be caught slacking. Everyone was putting in overtime. Birthdays happen every day in a pack their size. If every Warrior took it off, they would have a weaker defense. And that was not acceptable. “You okay?” Roger asks through a mind link

Chapter 9: A quiet walk home

Tyler looks at her as they walk."You'd make a good Luna," he tells her. "I don't know about that," she tells him."I do. You're smart. You care about your pack. You are kind.""A good Luna wouldn't run from-""A good Luna gets everyone to safety and is the last line of defense for those that are more vulnerable.""Doesn't matter, though. I'm sure when you find your mate., You'll have the best Luna.""You never know. It could be you. And a lot of alphas choose a mate. One they know will be a strong Luna."She looks at him and can tell he is absolutely serious. "Tyler…""Just…you know, think about it.""You would be a great Luna," Nova tells her. "But our mate will love us. It is worth the wait.""You don't think it could be him?" "You will always have your friends. A bond is a bond, mate or not. Forged in time or by the goddess, it is still a gift." "I hope you're right.""Anyone that cannot see the value in those bonds is not worth keeping. Respect is for more than just the Alpha

Chapter 10: Changes

Over the next few weeks, Lia kept catching an amazing scent, but when she did, it was usually fading, and she could never find the source. Nova was getting frustrated. She knew it was their mate. Lia kept this between them. The thought of her conversation with Tyler was ever-present in her mind. It was disappointing knowing that this meant there was no chance Tyler was their mate. He wasn’t 18 yet. The scent couldn’t be his. She was even more crestfallen when Tyler’s stay came to an end. He had to return home to his pack and his future duties."You'll have to come to visit me soon," Tyler says, trying to hide the disappointment of leaving people he had grown to care about. A car waits behind him."Invite us to your birthday," Jael says. "Our alpha would be foolish not to let us go.""He would be." Tyler looks at an alpha's 18th is a big deal.""Only second to his alpha ceremony," Lia states."And his mating ceremony," he says, his eyes never leaving Lia's. She looks away. She hadn’t t
