All Chapters of IMPRINTED ON BY THE ALPHA: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

May was driving again. I sat in the back of the SUV while Bridgette took the passenger seat. The ride was pretty quiet. May had greeted me and asked how my night had gone but after that, she had remained silent. She didn't seem to be in good spirits and I honestly didn't want to ask because it wasn't my place. Also, she looked as exhausted as Bridgette did and if Bridgette was right, it was my fault. I honestly didn't mind the silence, it gave me time to think. Not about the craziness of becoming the new luna of the Silvercrest pack. No. Somthing way scarier. How I was going to tell Uncle Victor and Aunt Sarah that I had been keeping all this from them.They would definitely freak when they found out I had spent the night at a man's house. Even if he was their alpha. The car stopped and I noticed that we had stopped right in the middle of town outside the alpha's offices. Next thing I knew the back door was opening and Tristan came into view. Or rather, his back. "Tell h

"He isn't forcing me. I want this too." I told uncle Victor.I don't know why I didn't just tell them the truth, I guess I just didn't want to get into all that."If that was true, you wouldn't have rejected him in the first place." Uncle Victor rose his voice.Aunt Sarah saw that things were getting out of control. She rose and placed her hand on UncleVictor's chest. "Okay, Victor, why don't we just calm down." She urged him nervously."Yes, Mr Benson, we wouldn't want any problems." Bridgette's voice was low and threatening.I looked at Tristan. He needed to control his beta. As much as I was scared of her, I couldn't standhere and let her threaten my uncle."But we do have a problem here. The alpha of the Silvercrest pack abusing his power to claim mylittle girl!"Tristan glared at uncle Victor.I wanted to stop him before he said anything."Uncle Victor, that's not what's happening here. Let me explain." My head swam for excuses that Icouldn't seem to grasp."Crystal, don't li

I was frozen in my spot, clutching Kat's arm."That's right." She grinned in satisfaction not seeming as mortified by the attention as I was.Just then, I noticed Joshua Melrose walking towards us, a crutch in his left hand. He winced withevery step and he honestly didn't look too stable. Micheal walked besides him, flinching with every step as if he felt his brother's pain too.They stopped in front of us."Could you be any louder, Katherine?" Joshua asked with a roll of his eyes and a scowl on his facewhich I had honestly gotten way too used to seeing. Seeing Joshua Melrose with a different facialexpression would probably confuse me more.Katherine folded her arms and looked at Joshua from head to toe."And could you be anymore gloomy, squid ward? We get it, you took a beating."I cringed. Oh Katherine...Michael snorted out a laugh.Joshua gave him a death glare.Michael shrugged. "Hey, it was a good one.""Then what does that make you? Spongebob?" Joshua shot back.Michael beam

Everyone was silent.”And then you’d be the strongest, baddest, awesomest pack in the region.” Ashton shrugged.”Awesomest isn’t a word.” Alison spoke again in a small voice.Ashton waved her off. “You get what I mean.”Terry pushed himself off the desk.”And then what would happen if say, that pack was challenged again?” He asked rhetorically. “Yousee, that’s the problem with war, people and werewolves alike are constantly in battle oversomething that they both believe in. Blood is shed, lives and property destroyed… all for what? Toprove a point. That’s what happened in the last war we fought.””We fought the last war because the Van Cliffes were tyrannical maniacs who wanted to enslavehumans.” Courtney spoke.”Yes.” Terry spoke. “I’m not saying the war didn’t need to happen, I’m saying if we’re going to bebetter, morally, we need to establish ways in which we can solve problems without risking the lives ofmany. Without unnecessary blood shed. And that’s a major part of the re

I stepped outside and shut the front door."Why didn't you show up for dinner?" I demanded.I saw the window of the SUV where Peter sat begin to rise slowly until it was fully closed.Tristan's expression didn't waver. "I was attending meetings all day then I was at the border and -""You couldn't call? Or text or ask one of your apprentices to do it? Seriously Tristan! I'm not yourpuppet and you shouldn't think you can tell me where to be whenever you want. I have classes andhomework and assignments and apparently training as well because you said so."Tristan put his hands in his pockets, still not reacting.Stop being so calm, dammit!"I thought you liked Anita. And aren't you and Mikey friends?""I do think Anita is nice. And well, I don't think either of your brothers are people I would call 'friends'but - arg! Tristan, are you even listening to me? You made plans that you totally flaked on and youkeep telling me what to do and I don't like it."Tristan was quiet for some time
