Semua Bab The One True Alpha: Bab 11 - Bab 20

~ E V E R E T T ~ ‘Who was that, sweetheart?’ My mother asked as I approached her. Rolling my eyes, I shook my head, ‘Nobody important.’‘I’ve not seen her around before, is she that new wolf everyone is talking about?’ She peered over, staring at her inquisitively. Running my fingers through my hair, I huffed, ‘Like I said, she’s nobody important.’ I looked back to see Amelia wandering around the village, her eyes glistened as she gazed upon her surroundings. Those innocent-looking eyes are hiding a dark secret, I just know it. As I turned back around, Mum raised a brow at me and shook her head, ‘You need to stay focused, now more than ever, Everett,’ she clasped her hands together and kept them low, h

~ A M E L I A ~The universe is out to get me. That was the only reason I could think as to why I was forced to be taught by Everett-bloody-Shaw. His eyes were still locked onto mine, but in a slow blink he focused his gaze elsewhere, as if he didn’t care for me being present. He pulled off his jacket and threw it behind him on the ground, revealing himself in a black compression shirt and dark grey jogging bottoms. The shirt wrapped around his defined muscles as if it was made specifically for his body, he was even more ripped than I thought. His abs do poke through his shirt. Trying to focus my gaze elsewhere, I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of staring at him since he was already full of himself enough, but my attention went to his arms, which I had no idea were fully tattooed. I couldn’t catch the details of it all, but I did get a glimpse of what looked like a deer skull on one of his forearms; he kept moving, so I couldn’t see it all, but it definitely looked like t

~ A M E L I A ~Last night, as promised to Sammy, after dinner, I went straight home and rested. Well, I sat in bed and read one of the books from the library until about 1 a.m., which was still better than what I had previously done, so it counts as an improvement. The school had been pretty tame during the morning, and the head teacher had sent all of Year 13 home at lunchtime to allow the new wolves to prepare for the full moon in the evening. Sammy dragged me to the local diner where she and her group of friends liked to hang out. Our group, I guess I should say, seemed to have made my way to being a part of the group without even trying. There was Theo (the guy she totally had a crush on), Gabriel and Kaylee, who was Gabriel’s girlfriend and mate. ‘Amelia, are you excited about witnessing our crazy full moon ritual?’ Theo asked. ‘Uh,’ I cleared my throat, ‘yeah, it still surprises me that the pack can’t shift whenever you want, but I’m interested in seeing how tonight pans ou

~ A M E L I A ~  ‘What the hell are you doing?’ I asked, infuriated.‘Sorry, did I interrupt something?’ he replied sarcastically, his usual calm egotistic face leering upon mine. Trying to push him away, I failed instantly. Whatever increase in enhancements I might have been feeling under the full moon, Everett was feeling it at an even greater level. Once again, I had no chance. I questioned if I would, even if I had my wolf.He moved one hand from my waist up to my lower back and pulled me closer to him.All I could do was stare into his soul-stealing eyes and arrogantly handsome face. Feeling a sense of unease and powerlessness, not being able to do anything. If he wasn’t such a jerk, someone could probably find great delight in being so close to him, being held by him, smelling his sweet and piney aroma… 

~ E V E R E T T ~A roar of hysteria boomed through the village. Murmurs of worry pulsed throughout the crowd and echoed through the forest as I dashed back to the village centre. Elders on their knees praying to the Moon Goddess, parents consoling their children who were meant to have their first shift this month, and others in the villages, screaming, crying and raging for answers. The moon had definitely hit the peak of the sky, yet we’re not shifting. I tried to summon the shift, hoping that, if we weren’t forced into shifting, it could have meant we’d gained full control back somehow, but alas, that wasn’t the case. We cannot shift. The curse was still in place, but it had changed.Why? My mother was being wrapped back in her shawl by her handmaiden, Gladis. Her face was pale, full of shock and betrayal.‘Mum,’ I called, buttoning up my shirt as I rushed over to her, ‘what the hell is going on?’She held her hand on her chest, trying to steady her staggering breath, ‘I don’t kn
