Crystal’s POV I was taken aback. For a few seconds I was speechless. I opened my mouth expecting no sound to come out but I was wrong. "Was?" I was offended and it clearly showed. Tristan chuckled. "What's so funny?" I whined. "Why did you change your mind?" After the year Tristan and

I learnt as much as I could about leading the pack. I still didn't know how Tristan did it. I had barely just graduated high school and all these people looked at me waiting for guidance and protection. It was daunting and nerve racking but I tried my best. The AAP training helped too. I was g

Crystal’s POV (One year later) I learnt to speak in silence. At least around Tristan. When he got too quiet, I knew it was time to get him to a place of isolation where he could sit in his grief without the whole world watching him. I could tell the pack wasn't the same and though our loss

Roman still hadn't returned and I could tell Crystal was worried even though she didn't voice it out. Probably worried about what I might think. But I guess seeing as to how Roman had helped us both escape, maybe I could try to overlook my intense dislike for the guy. Meggy had gotten up sayin

Tristan’s POV When I woke up I was only partly aware of where I was. It was dark but I could still tell I was in the woods. The leaves on the trees rustled with the cool air. They blocked the sky but through the spaces I could see a scattering of stars. When I looked forward I saw a girl wit

Crystal’s POV Never in my life did I ever think I would hear Joshua Melrose say those words. I knew this was technically a dream but it couldn't have prepared me for how dazed I still felt. Mikey's mind space had seemed so scattered and disorganised. But just like Tristan's, it had been in a r

I burst through the double doors of the king’s study.He was seated alone.He didn’t so much as look up from his desk as he seemed more focused on jotting something down.“Thane.” He spoke sounding unenthused.His nonchalance only added to my fury.I marched up to him and swept the ornaments off his desk.They landed on the ground with a thud.I was surprised Miranda wasn’t here to forcefully remove me from the castle premises.He set his pen down and looked up at me. He let out an irritated sigh as he leaned back. “What is it, son?”“Son?” I echoed in disgust. “Son?”“How could you?”“You’ll have to be a little more clear.” He spoke in a bored tone.I flipped over the table.King Reagan didn’t so much as flinch which only infuriated me more.“All this time?” I yelled.King Reagan stared up at me. “I don’t know what you’re talking about Thame but you should be more respectful of your king.”“Screw that!”He rose slowly. “It’s an order, not a request.“I gritted my teeth. “All this tim

“That went as well as I thought it would.” Lyra hissed as we walked out of the castle. It was almost like we had been kicked out with our tails tucked in behind us.As we walked out to the courtyard of the castle, eyes followed us, most of them whispering and I could only imagine the gossip that was starting to spread amongst everyone.Good“Well we knew it wouldn’t work.” I spoke as I stopped in front of our SUV nodding at the guards to open the back door.I turned to Lyra. “Is the plan in motion?”“Our spies are on it.” She spoke with a smile as she jumped into the back seat. I went in after her.We found Dylan looking out the window curiously and as if he was amazed.He turned to us.“So this is what the Castle looks like? I never thought I would live to see the day. Can’t say I’m that impressed.”Lyra rolled her eyes. “Really?”“The Tempest pack’s used to be much nicer. In its glory days anyway.”I couldn’t help but think of Piper’s home. The place she grew up. The place she was a

The Grand doors opened as we walked in.We walked into the throne room and were met with the king’s wives.Evangeline was the first to rise looking serious and angry.“Alpha Thane, you dare to intrude on the royal courts when not only haven’t you boy been summoned but you are also on probation. This is bold, even for you."I could hear Lyra behind me, our footsteps were synchronized as we approached the thrones. We stopped just out of striking distance, seeing Miranda’s eyes darken at the sight of us.I knew if she was here, the king wasn’t too far away. He was never out of her sights for too long.“Apologies, my queen, my ladies.” I spoke. “But there is no room for courtesy in the face of disaster.” I spoke.“We come with urgent news, Queen Evangeline.” Lyra spoke.The air was practically sparking with tension as Queen Evangeline's eyes narrowed.She pursed her lips pursing in displeasure. For a moment, I thought she might order the guards to kick us out, but she seemed to think be

I knocked softly on Landon’s door. It was already open and he sat laying down on his bed staring blankly at nothing.“Hey.” I greeted as I let myself in.Landon turned and saw me. He rolled his eyes and kicked his way into a sitting position.“Oh look, it’s the big and mighty alpha of the Tempest pack. Here to kick me out of my own room?” He asked sarcastically.My face remained straight. I stopped just before his bed.“I know you don’t want to talk to me.”“Did you figure that out all on your own big brother?” He asked grabbing a baseball from near by and fiddling with it.I remember a time when Jaimie would take us out to the field to play. We would always let Landon win because he was the youngest.“Landon, I know you’re mad at me.”Landon shook his head. He then rose to his feet. “No big brother,” he spoke, “mad doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel right now.”“Piper trusted you, you know that? She really believed you cared about her. That from all the crappy people in her pa

“Where’s the prisoner?” I asked in a firm voice as I walked down the steps.There were about a dozen guards around the cells. All some of my top soldiers.It might have seemed extreme. Honestly, I’ve had less security for more threatening prisoners.But I couldn’t take a risk with him.“This way, Alpha, Beta.” One of them spoke as he led Lyra and I down the cold, stone pathway.We passed by the cell Piper had once been kept in and I couldn’t help but feel a pang in my chest.I pictured her in her bed back home still hooked up to all those machines. Mary told me she was doing her best. That they were all doing their best but even I could see the looks of pity all the healers shot me when I spent night after night camped out beside her.Finally we stopped in front of a cell. Iron bars kept contained a man who was cowered in the corner, hugging himself.His eyes flicked up the minute he sensed our presence and started darting between us.It was eerie seeing him. Sure, he looked like any

“Look who’s woken up from the dead.” I spoke.Lyra came limping down into the kitchen, a small smile on her face.I got up instinctively wanting to help her but she held her hand up to stop me.I knew her pride wouldn’t let her.She had never been one to accept help from anyone. Even me.But just by looking at her, I could tell the battle had taken a lot out of her. She looked drained. Her face pale, her hair a mess. A patch was missing from where one of the dark ones had yanked it out.Her bruises were mostly fading but there were still a number over her body. And not to mention the dark circles under her eyes. But to be fair, those had been there even before.She finally got to the table, pulling back a chair and sitting down.I rose my brows at her. “What?” She asked.“Ryan told me you’re supposed to be using crutches.”She rolled her eyes and scoffed.“Yeah well, Ryan puts bandaids on splinter pricks. He’s not exactly my standard of pain tolerance.” She spoke.I let out a light

“I can’t believe you convinced Drew to let me come here. You seriously have some magical persuasive powers.” I spoke in a teasing tone.It felt like Kaden barely heard a word I said, his eyes were fixed on the road in a serious hard glance and his knuckles were turning white with the way he was gripping the steering wheel.I frowned. He had been like this since we had left our apartment. It’s bad enough that I was trying to push away what Scott had said about him being dangerous.His behaviour right now just wasn’t helping.“Hey, are you okay?” I asked reaching out to put my hand on his arm.He jumped slightly.I frowned. “Kaden.”He cast me a glance and forced a smile. “Have I told you how hot you look tonight?”I furrowed my brows in concern. “Did Drew say something? Because if he did, I can talk to him -““Your brother didn’t say anything.” Kaden reassured me. “Trust me, Mia.”I sensed something off in his tone that made me feel sad and small. Suddenly the nerves that had been roam

“They’ve been out there for like an hour.” I spoke in frustration as I paced back and forth in my room.“At least we’d have known if they had killed each other.” Hayden spoke absent mindedly as he fiddled with Mr Washington on my bed.My head snapped to him.He looked up, his brows shooting up. “I just mean we’d have heard it.” He spoke.I shook my head incredulously shooting him a ‘not helping’ look and turned to Scott who was on my bean bag looking bored out of his mind.He noticed my gaze and sat up. “Mia, first of all, they’ve been out there for like ten minutes and secondly, chill. Drew won’t throw any punches.”Scott paused. “At least I don’t think he will.”I huffed as I stormed away from the two. They clearly weren’t helping. I pressed my ear to my bedroom door as if that would help me hear what Drew and Kaden were talking about out there.In the spirit of wanting to be more honest and not keeping secrets from the guys - especially Drew, I decided to tell them about the party

“What do you think about this one?” I asked as I stepped out of the dressing room, doing a little twirl.“That’s definitely the one.” Kaden spoke in a mumble, his eyes fixed on his phone.I frowned and marched up to Kaden snatching his phone from his hands.“You’re not even looking at me!” I whined.He gave me a small smile like he found my childishness cute.He leaned back in the love seat he had been planted in for almost two hours now as I had been searching for the perfect dress.“That’s because you look perfect in everything, babe.” He spoke so casually and easily, like it’s all he had ever called me.His eyes suddenly shifted to roam my body examining my dress and I suddenly felt self concious even though I had just been begging for his attention.He sat up straight. “You do look perfect, Mia.” He spoke genuinely.I felt my face heat up and I fiddled with my fingers as I looked anywhere except at his perfect face. Never in my life did I think a guy like Kaden would find me attra

I furrowed my brows as I sat up straight. “Who?” Drew was clearly fighting his irritation. “Kaden.” My heart skipped a beat and I hated myself for having that reaction. I turned to look at Keri and she gave me a soft smile. “I can gladly tell him to get lost.” Drew spoke. “Drew.” Keri scolded. She looked at me. “It’s entirely up to you.” I let out a breath. Who was I kidding? I already knew what the response would be. I tried to keep a stoic face as I put the pillow aside. “I’m just gonna give him five minutes and hear what he has to say.” I sounded so confident but I felt the complete opposite. I got up and walked past Drew ignoring the judgey look he was giving me. My legs felt weak as I approached the front door. I saw his shoes first. And then the rest of him as I got closer. His head was hung low and one arm resting against the wall with his tattoos on full display. He must have sensed me getting closer because he looked up and a knot formed in between his brows.

“I feel like an idiot. I feel like such a huge idiot.” I spoke with a groan as I buried my face into my pillow.I wanted to scream until I lost my voice but alas, my voice was still intact and my chagrin, greater so.I felt Keri’s hand rub my back trying (but failing) to ease my agony.“Hey, don’t say that, it could have honestly happened to anyone.” She spoke.I looked up at her with a dead pan look.“I told him I loved him.” I spoke feeling something twisting in my gut while I fought the tears of embarrassment and hurt. “And he didn’t even say it back. He didn’t look like he even wanted to.”I let out a huff and buried my head again thinking of the look on Kaden’s face.What if all he had wanted was something causal. To just have fun like we had been.What if I had just ruined everything?“Mia.” Keri spoke soothingly. “It’s okay sweetie. Listen, if you ask me, this might be a good thing. If Kaden wasn’t ready to say it back. Maybe he doesn’t deserve you?”I didn’t even tell her the

I couldn’t believe how relieved I felt when the door opened and Kaden peeked in.I was sitting at Silver’s bedroom desk just finishing up my Algebra homework when I saw that lovable grin on his face.“Hey there.” He spoke. “Can I come in?”I couldn’t control the wide smile that spread across my own face.I pushed back and ran to him jumping into his arms and kissing him simultaneously. He tightened his arms around my waist lifting me off the ground slightly.He chuckled as he set me down. “Someone really missed me.” He commented.I shrugged. If only he knew I would much rather be with him than endure Silver’s cold shoulder any longer.“Where’s Silv?” He asked as if reading my mind.“She said she went to get some snacks downstairs.” I responded hoping the underlying skepticism wasn’t too obvious.“Huh.” Kaden spoke thoughtfully.He moved his jaw to the side as if stretching it. “And how long has she been gone?”I shrugged. “I don’t know, fifteen minutes?”Definitely long enough for me
