Chapter 20

~King~Boris sits across from me, along with Valor. There’s a small pile of folders on my desk, and we’ve been going through each one. I have to pick the security detail for Katarina. The sooner I get her group together, the sooner they can start to get comfortable with each other. “This is going to be hard to do. There are a lot of good candidates in here.”“Yeah. Valor and I made sure we targeted the best candidates, and their field test was very thorough.” I was going to pop into the field test this morning and look at those participating, but I decided not to at the last minute. I didn’t want to throw anyone off. I trust the word of these two men, so the checking up wasn’t needed.“Well, I’m going to go through these files and get back to you. Let’s meet after dinner. It shouldn’t take much longer than that.” They nod and leave me alone in the office. I’ve been working out of my dad’s office lately, trying to get a feel for it. I know I plan to change a few things, but it will hav

Chapter 21

~’A’~I check the list and hate to admit it, but I’m a bit disappointed. Boris was convinced I was a shoo-in, but I guess he had the wrong information. It would have been fun to be an elite warrior, but I guess I can make it without it.A hand clasps on my back, shocking me a bit. “I’m so sorry that you didn’t make it. Just know that I had nothing but good things to say about you.”“It’s okay, Boris. I guess it was a shot in the dark. I don’t have a wolf, and I’m sure that was a factor.”“I’m not sure. King didn’t tell me what his criteria was. I hope that wasn’t the case because I, personally, think that could be an asset.” Boris and I continue to make small talk before he goes to run a training session. I find myself in the gym to lift some weights.“You good?” A towel dangles in front of my face. I look up, and Dominic is standing there, smiling at me. I take the towel and sit up, wiping my face.“Yeah, man. What’s up with you?” I move over on the bench, allowing Dominic to sit nex

Chapter 22

~’A’~I was up early this morning wishing I was going to training, not waiting for these witches to come. I’m thankful they are trying to help me, but something about the entire thing feels off. I don’t want to disappoint anyone, so I keep my mouth shut. I want to get better for Eddison and Shawna.I’m in the Alpha office with Eddison and the Alpha. A whoosh sounds in the air, and a portal appears. Out steps one of the witches, but no one else. I try to look behind her to see the other two, but they aren’t there. This is the one witch that gives me the creeps, so I’m not that happy that it’s just her. “Hello, Alpha… Beta.”“Where’s everyone else?”“Ulva and Isidora are busy with something else. High Priestess Topaz sends her apologies. I can take care of everything on my own. It won’t take long.” I feel my heartbeat increase. Something about her rubs me the wrong way. I really don’t want to be alone with her, but what can I say? I’m sure it’s simply because all this supernatural stuff

Chapter 23

I look around the room, feeling suffocated with all the eyes on me. I start shrinking into myself, not knowing if I had said something wrong or not. I focus my eyes on Mom and see her holding back her tears. “A?”“Aston, mom. Aston will do.” A sob breaks free as she reaches for me. I let her wrap her arms around me, and I’m transported back. I remember how it felt to be wrapped in her embrace, and I missed it. I missed her. “I missed you so much, Mom.” Her response is muffled since her face is buried in my neck. I look at Dad to see his facial expression, which mirrors Mom's. Uncle Blake has a smile on his face.“Does this mean that you have your memories back?’ I close my eyes and sift through my mind. I have so many memories, and they are warming my heart. I open my eyes.“No, I don't have all of my memories. I don't remember my shift or anything after. Didn't I disappear after my shift?” They nodded, and sadness takes hold in their eyes. My mom lifts her head and looks at me.“You

Chapter 24

~Eddison~I shift back to my human form and change into the clothes that I carry in my mouth. Just as I pull my shirt down my body, there's a whirl sound in the air. “Better than I remember.” I look up to see Topaz stepping out of a portal. My mind betrays me with thoughts of the past.Topaz and I met at around 13 or 14 years old, and I swear it was damn near love at first sight. She was my first in all ways, and I couldn't get enough. My first kiss was with Topaz as we were floating in the air. Literally floating in the air. She was my first girlfriend and my first love, even though many adults in our lives would say that we were too young to know what love was.Topaz and I gave ourselves to each other, and I swear, at the time, it was the most amazing thing to ever happen to me. The thing with Topaz is that she's a witch. Don't get me wrong; I had no issue with her species. She was a beautiful girl, and I had so much fun with her. Her parents were against me because they felt that w

Chapter 25

~Eddison~It’s dark outside with the moon high in the sky. I didn’t rush home because there was too much on my mind. Images from the past feel as real as they did then. I wasn’t ready for this onslaught, and I don’t know how to navigate through it.I walk up the porch steps with my mind on everything other than what I’m doing. “Dad?” I practically jump out of my skin. I look to my right and see Aston sitting on the porch. I didn’t notice him because of how dark it was; I’m just not paying much attention. “Are you okay?” I sigh and turn to Aston, taking a seat next to him.“How are you feeling?”“You’re stalling. Are you okay?” I let my head fall back, trying to find the words to put him at ease.“I… I’m fine. Where’s your mother?”“She went upstairs not long after you left and hasn’t been back down.” I nod, not surprised by her actions. This has always been a touchy topic; I can’t be mad at her. “Want to tell me what’s going on?” I let out a long breath. This isn’t something I talk ab

Chapter 26

~Katarina~I’ve been up for a while now, unable to sleep. That’s been happening a lot lately, and I’m not too sure why that is. I have a trip to take today, though, so maybe I can sleep on the way. I want to check out a cabin the pack owns that we plan to honeymoon at.King and I discussed it at length, and we didn’t want to go too far away right now. We wanted to stay close by but still have the privacy we need as a newly married/mated couple. I have a few things I want to set up for that time and want it to be a surprise.The ceremony is in about a week and a half, and I’m slightly freaking out. I’ve been talking to my aunt and uncle about everything a lot lately. If I’m being honest with myself, I’m worried about making a mistake.What if marrying King is the wrong move? What if us marking each other isn’t right? What if I find my fated mate after the fact? There are too many what-ifs that are freaking me out.When it comes down to it, I just want to be happy. I want to live my day

Chapter 27

~Aston~I watch her face, and a myriad of emotions are displayed. I don't know if it's a bad thing that I remember or a good one. The silence grows between us, and I start to get nervous. “That game,” Katarina says quietly. A grin breaks out on my face because I know exactly what she's referring to.“You mean when you told me that you were still wearing day of the week underwear when you started middle school.” Katarina gasps and slaps my arm. I throw my head back and laugh.“I can't believe you remember that! OMG! That's so embarrassing.” I double over, laughing until my stomach starts to hurt. I look up and see Katarina with the cutest pout on her face. I want to kiss her forehead to ease the lines on her face. Shit! Where did that thought come from? I shake my head and straighten out my clothes.“The game itself was fun. I mean hide and seek with the added bonus of having to reveal secrets when caught. I just never expected you to have such crazy secrets.” Katarina moves to swat me

Chapter 28

My anger exuded out of me, and anyone within feet of me backed up to keep away from my wrath. Poor Wayne looked terrified as I pushed past him and ran outside. I heard shouting behind me, but I ignored it all and focused on the path ahead.It’s pitch black outside, but that doesn’t impact me. I’m a wolf and can see just fine in the darkness. I let Conan take over, and he takes off in the darkness. He shoots past trees and bushes, jumping over falling logs as we go. I know where she was going, and I don’t care how long it takes me to get there; I will get there.The more we run, the more the weather changes. I can see why they decided to stay and I would have suggested the same course of action. The issue here is that Aston is with them, and he shouldn’t be. He should be back at the pack.The night stretches on as I continue my journey. Even in wolf form, this trip takes a few hours. I’m sure someone has a car, so I will be sure to drive us back. She won’t stay there any longer with As

Chapter 29

~King~The ride back home was silent. I was angry and stewing at the fact that Katarina was in such close proximity to Aston. I have no idea what Katarina’s issue was, and I had no intention of asking.When we arrived in front of the packhouse, Katarina quickly exited the car and walked away. She didn’t wait for me to open the door or say goodbye. I was going to go after her, but I wanted my anger to subside first.I went up to my room and threw myself on the bed. I can’t believe how all of this is working out. I know it isn’t right, my wanting Aston and Katarina to stay away from each other, but it’s how I feel. Katarina is mine and has been mine for a while now. I’m going to mark her and marry her. She’s my life and future, and I don’t want to give that up for anyone.The morning sky shines through the curtains, piercing my eyelids. The brightness in the room causes me to groan and roll out of bed. There’s a lot to do today, and it's already late in the morning. The most important t
