Darkthorne's Biggest Mistake
Everyone in the Darkthorne Pack knows one thing about me.
I'm human.
The unwanted girl with no wolf, no rank, and no place among werewolves.
For eighteen years, I've been counting down the days until I can escape the pack that never wanted me. The only person who's ever stood by my side is my best friend, Brock, an omega destined to disappoint his powerful Alpha family.
Then everything changes.
Brock finally shifts... and becomes someone I barely recognize.
Cold. Distant. Cruel.
As my eighteenth birthday approaches, strange things begin happening. My senses sharpen. My body burns with impossible power. The same elite wolves who once ignored me suddenly can't stay away. The pack's strongest males are drawn to me, fighting instincts they don't understand.
Including Brock.
But when my wolf finally awakens, it reveals a truth no one saw coming.
I was never human.
I belong to an ancient bloodline thought to be lost, one powerful enough to shake the werewolf world to its foundations.
Now four powerful mates are bound to me, enemies are hunting me, and the pack that treated me like an outcast suddenly wants me at the center of everything.
Too bad I've spent eighteen years learning how to survive without them.
They may want to claim me.
But they'll have to earn me first.

Chapter: Chapter 7: Brock: Get your hands off my GirlThe room is silent and Ri doesn’t answer me. I’m staring into those dark grey eyes like there is no one else in this entire room with us.Ellis Lockwood stands close enough to her that there’s barely any space between them. She’s wearing an all black hoodie, one that I know she doesn’t own- and his scent is marked all over her.And she’s drunk. Sariah doesn’t drink.“Well…” I say, still waiting for a response. I’m more concerned than anything. What happened in this short amount of time for Sariah to have completely become unhinged and so un-like herself? “You said you were staying in.” Her quiet voice states, barley above a whisper. I look around the room, people still staring and phones still recording. If we haven’t gone on everyone’s live social media feed by now I would be shocked. The last thing I need right now is drama. Not before both mine and Ri’s ceremony.I can’t have anything mess up my leadership position right now. I didn’t score on the Darkthorne Rite the way I need

Chapter: Chapter 6: Sariah: Breathtaking My face instantly heats as rage climbs up my throat. My heart pounds against my ribs, and my palms begin to sweat. Danika? Fucking Danika! Of all fucking people it just had to be her? But of course it did! Her family is one of the most prominent names in the village and she certainly couldn’t be Alpha by herself. I should have seen this coming. I should have seen Alpha Axton’s need to carry on his legacy at all costs. Brock was going to be put in the Alpha position no matter what his wolf shows. I grimace and cross my arms across my chest. Brock doesn't look disappointed by the arrangement, that’s for sure.I didn’t realize that I had been staring at the bottom of the stairs, revengeful and angry thoughts filling my mind until my vision was completely blocked.I look up at the six foot seven guy in front of me holding two beverages. “Are those alcoholic?" I ask, curiously. He cocks an eyebrow, “you really haven’t ever been to a party have you?” He snorts. I swat his arm and grab

Chapter: Chapter 5: Sariah: The First CrackThe final buzzer blares throughout the indoor arena and I gather and collect all my things. The application I looked over, feeling sorry for myself. And the homework that I didn’t complete. Because I was too fixated on Brock. Too angry that I’ve always been right in front of his face and he’s never even given me a second glance. Not the way he just gave to those girls. I got quiet after that. Ellis asking me multiple times ‘what’s wrong?’ But I couldn’t tell him. I can’t tell anyone how I really feel about Brock. Especially now that we are both promised to someone else. Three more weeks, I remind myself.“Come on,” Ellis says, taking me out of my spiraling thoughts. “There’s an after party. Everyone’s going.” Ellis lightly grabs my shoulder but I nudge him off. “Everyone except me.” I say, dryly. “I don’t go to those. And besides,” I continue. “I wasn’t invited.” “I’m inviting you now.” Ellis says, ignoring everything else that just came out of my mouth. He grabs my backpack

Chapter: Chapter 4: Sariah: Violence Wrapped in Bendable RulesI almost didn't come. After yesterday, sitting through one of Brock's hockey games feels a little like volunteering to be tortured. But it's the last game before finals. And despite everything, despite the mating ceremony and the secrets and the fact that I'm still angry with him, I know I'd feel like a terrible friend if I skipped it. Not that Brock is exactly winning any awards in the friendship department right now. The stadium is already packed by the time I arrive. Darkthorne games always are. Students fill the bleachers shoulder to shoulder. Pack leaders occupy the private boxes overlooking the ice. Families, sponsors, and community members crowd every available space. Everyone supports Darkthorne Academy sports. Especially hockey. Around here, hockey isn't just a sport.It's a religion. I pull my hood lower over my head as I make my way through the crowd. Not because it actually hides me. Nothing could.I'm the only human in a stadium full of wolves. And

Chapter: Chapter 3: Sariah: Misery Loves CompanyMy stomach drops, tearing the envelope open too quickly, the paper slicing across my thumb. “Shit,” I hissed under my breath.My hands are shaking as I pull the card out of the envelope because there is only one reason Darkthorne sends black envelopes sealed with the silver crest. Mating ceremonies.My pulse pounds violently in my ears as I read the contents of the card.My breath hitches and the acid in my stomach rises to my throat and I feel like I’m physically going to be sick. I can’t believe what I’m seeing. I thought it was going to be mine. But the ceremony…it’s Brock’s. And for some reason that hurts worse.A faint knock sounds against my bedroom door before I can process the thought fully. I panic and shove the envelope beneath my thigh just as the door creaks softly.“Ri?”My chest tightens immediately because I knew it was him even before he spoke.Brock.The same Brock who never bothered mentioning that he apparently had a mating ceremony in three weeks as well. The sam

Chapter: Chapter 2: Sariah: Betrayal is BitterI stare down at the slice of pizza sitting in front of me. Untouched.Cold.The smell of grease and melted cheese suddenly makes me nauseous.Across from us, the neon Raven’s Pizza sign buzzes softly against the frost covered windows while old rock music crackles through the speakers overhead. Usually this place feels safe. Familiar. We’ve been coming here together since we were kids. I can feel Brock staring at the side of my face from the booth beside me.“I can’t eat this whole thing by myself, Ri,” he says finally, nudging my plate closer toward me.I don’t move. I can’t. Anger is seething inside me and I’m on the brink of emotionally exploding. My jaw aches from how tightly it’s clenched. All I can hear is Lydia’s voice replaying over and over again inside my head.You are arranged to marry one of his Beta’s sons in three weeks.Three weeks. Like I’m some kind of trade agreement instead of a person. With my own thoughts and opinions. After I told Brock in the car, all he said w
