All Chapters of Shift: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*** 17 years ago *** I screamed out, the pain becoming too much. Here, on the floor of the dungeon, in the cage that was provided for me, I was going to have my fourth pup. It was the same every time. On this dirty disgusting floor, alone outside of the pack doctor, I’d give birth to my pup and they would be swiftly taken from me. “Come on, Katerina. You’ll be free after this one.” The doctor stood in the corner. He was told not to touch me, not to comfort me. Only my pups. They only wanted them, not me. It made his words surprising; he’d never spoken to me before now. Alpha Devon Cross, my mate, my love, my everything. In high school he was the one all the girls crushed on. He was the one that all the she-wolves dreamed to have as their mate. Someone like me though, an Omega, wasn’t good enough for an Alpha like him. I thought I’d be lucky if a kind, lower status wolf was my mate. I was so wrong. When I turned 18, Devon found me, and took me right there in the classroom. We were

My eyes watched as the teachers and staff lost complete control of the kids. Kids now ran out of the buildings, joining the amassing group. They tried to stop them, realizing that the alarms were just pulled and nothing was going on, but it was too late. Our plan had worked. Now the next phase was going to start. The school would call the Alpha, my father. The next test of my months of research and experiments. We finished up the second song and I leaned into the mic to start the song off. ‘We’ll never get free, lamb to the slaughter’ ‘What you gonna’ do when there’s blood in the water?’ ‘The price of your greed is your son and your daughter’ ‘What you gonna’ do when there’s blood in the water?’ Vince took over and I hit the bass drum, to start off the chorus. My eyes glowed as we finished the verse and we dropped into the chorus and I slammed across the toms and cymbals. It was fucking awesome. I hadn’t been this excited and this pumped before. ‘I am the people’ ‘I am the s

“Skylar, stop. You too, Greg. Quit it.” Caleb chastised us both but neither of us let up glaring at each other. “What are you guys up to today? Since you can’t be home.” I clamped my mouth shut. He was so out of the loop. Caleb didn’t understand the hell we went through. That we took every opportunity to leave this place. That we never considered it home. That this wasn’t a normal childhood like he and Catherine had. The only thing they were ever subjected to was the petty anger that Francesca directed towards them. It wasn’t until we were ten that we found out she wasn’t our actual mother. It made sense, not a single one of us looked like her or our father. All of us had the same blonde hair and brown eyes. Our dad had black hair, blue eyes and sharp features that looked like straight edges. He probably would be handsome if he wasn’t scowling or barking orders. Francesca looked like she used to be beautiful. But time and anger twisted her features into an un

My eyes stared down at my bottle before I drained it. “We should head back. I don’t want to get yelled at because we stayed away too long after the she-bitch told us to get out.”Carl chuckled and nodded. “Thanks for the help today.”“Thanks for letting us work.”“Next week then?” Carl held out his fist.I gave him a fist bump, followed by Emmett. He answered, “At the latest.”Carl walked us to the bus, and since it was already dark outside. We waved as we got on and sat in the back.“Think we should pick up dinner?”“If we take it home, you’re holding it. Last time it just got wasted in my hands.”Emmett chuckled. “Maybe we should just eat it there?”I nodded. “The usual place?”“Sure.”We got off after two stops and jaywalked across the street to Giorgio’s. It was our f

My eyes widened and I nodded, trying not to smile. He walked into the front office and I followed and tried my best to look solemn.“Alright. I need to head out. Alpha, said to hurry up.”The lady at the front desk, Mrs. Wilson, nodded. “Yes, of course. We’ve already signed her out. See you tomorrow, dear.”I nodded silently and Justin put his hand on my back, leading me out of the office. He didn’t remove it until we stepped outside into the guest and teacher parking lot. His Raven Black 1969 Mustang was parked and I ran my hand over the hood.“Does she need a tune up? I’d be happy to get my paws on her engine sometime.”He laughed, opening the door for me. “Only you can make working on a car sound sexual.”I flashed him a grin. “Cars are sexy, what can I say? Sit on one long enough and sometimes the purr will make you scream.”“Goddess, Sky, what the
