45: Sophie
“Took you two long enough,” Sophie complained, crossing her arms over her chest.
He held up his hands in surrender, “It wasn’t my fault this time.” He walked past me, pinching my ass as he went, making me yelp and jump up. “Don’t frown like that,” he chided her, “you’ll give yourself wrinkles.”
She accepted his forehead kiss and tried to smooth out her features. “Well, seem to be in a good mood this morning, and at least you don’t look like you just rolled out of bed,” she looked me over, making me blush. She shot him another accusing look. “Ok, you two, what am I missing?”

“Alex!” my mother raced towards the glass wall of the cell where I stood on the other side. “What the fuck is going on!” I demanded of everyone standing around me, Sophie squeezed my hand. Dr Martinez pushed her way through the gathered enforcers, and frowned at me apologetically. “Luna,” she barely acknowledged Sophie, “I need you to try to do whatever it was you did the other day,” she explained to me. “I don’t even know what I did,” I complained as she tried to press my palm to the surface of the glass. Dmitri looked like he was struggling not to rip my father’s head off his shoulders, literally. “Why are they in there? What is going on?” Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I tried to remember the last time I was down here and push through the confusion, fear, rage and pain I felt crushing in on me. “They’re who poisoned you,” Nathan growled. “They’ve apparently been doing it for years now.” I sank t
Rite of Submission 47: Unbearable
It was surreal, to be aware of everything going on around me, but not being able to move, feel or interact in any way. I wanted to tell Blake to go away and leave me alone as he sat in the chair beside the bed that he’d pulled in from the dining table in the other room. He kept running his hands over his face as if I were laying there dying. “Has she said anything,” Sophie’s soft voice came from the doorway. “Not a word,” he let out a long heavy sigh. “She hasn’t even moved a muscle this whole time and I’m starting to feel like I’m losing it. If we’d done the binding I would at least have some idea what she was going through.” She stood beside him and rested a hand on his shoulder, “You’ve been sitting here for hours. Why don’t you have Nathan or Samuel come up, while you go check in on Kelly and try to get some sleep? I’ll stay with her.” He nodded numbly, still staring at me, “Is he really going to send her off?” She
Rite of Submission 48: Advanced Education
"What do you mean he isn't coming?" Sophie yelled at someone in the other room. I was disappointed to find myself in her bed, instead of where I wanted to be. I yawned and climbed out of bed to find out why she was yelling and who she was yelling at. Nathan stood there stoically with his arms folded over his chest, waiting for her tirade to end. I'd come out just as she demanded to know where Dmitri was so she could scold him, and I caught the way his jaw clenched. "He can't tell you," I sighed, "He's been ordered not to." He looked relieved to see that someone understood the strain he was under, but her face started to turn purple. I smiled, "But, I'll bet that he didn't make sure to cover his ass and include where he isn't. Has Dmitri left the house today?" Nathan's relief quickly faded to annoyance. "No." "See?" I gestured towards the door, and sat down at the table to pour myself some coffee, ignoring the pang I felt when I thought
Rite of Submission 49: Nathan
I was wearing the black button down shirt I’d nabbed from Dmitri’s closet before I left his empty room, pulled over a silver colored satin tank, and a pair of white jeggings. After I put up my hair in a high pony tail, I put on the necklace Sophie had given me and the cuff he’d sent over. She made a face that told me she didn’t like this outfit as much as my others, until I shrugged and let his shirt slip to hang off a shoulder, making it very clear that I was not wearing a bra. It was also the only way to see that I was wearing the cuff on my arm. “Can we skip wolf lessons today?” she frowned, trying not to giggle at the name I’d given our cram sessions, “I know that there is a lot for me to learn, but I think I just need a breather today.” Mo
Rite of Submission 50: Dmitri
I never should have let myself believe that any of this was going to work out the way I wanted. It felt like the ground had opened up beneath me and swallowed me up so that I couldn’t see anymore, or even breathe enough to catch my breath and scream. Nothing that happened the last few weeks meant a damn thing now. I read through the file, again just to be sure. I knew I was right to despise them. I’d always thought they were opportunistic bottom feeders, but this… this was beyond anything I could have imagined anyone capable of. Not only could they have killed her, but I’d almost died twice, and so had an innocent wolf. She could’ve been a walking death sentence to everyone around her when she first got here. Worse than that was the lie that started all of this and ripped everything good in my life away from me now. They couldn’t be brought back into custody fast enough for me or my wolf. We were going to kill them. It was just a matter of when and how
Rite of Submission 51: The Chains that Bind
It felt like I was yanked under water and held there until my lungs were burning to take in a new breath. I didn’t know this place, some strange black void that echoed the sound of my own breath back to me. ‘You shouldn’t be here!’ I could feel my entire body start to shake as my eyes focused on the black wolf and the man beside him. “Fuck You!” I shouted, making his head snap up to look at me. The wolf beside him sighed heavily. I’d been fully awake and still somehow ended up being pulled into a dream with him. “How are you here?” Dmitri genu
Rite of Submission 52: The Bond
I was relieved to see Blake and not Nathan or Dmitri sitting there watching me sleep. He gave me a cheeky grin when I got dizzy from sitting up too fast, and he laughed when I stuck my tongue out at him. “So, how much trouble am I in this time?” I tried to smile, but I knew I wasn’t going to like the answer. “I think you’ll have to define ‘trouble’ before I can answer that,” it had to be a good sign that he was still smiling and sounded a little jovial. “Did mom and dad ground me to this room? This suite? The house? Or are they packing me up and shipping me off to boarding school in hopes that I’ll change my wicked ways and be the good girl they raised me to be?” his good mood was contagious and I couldn’t help but be a little over dramatic. “I don’t think you’re anymore grounded than you were before,” he grinned, “but I don’t know if that is because of interpack politics or because they don’t think they can do more than observe rather
Rite of Submission 53: Sacrifice
Everything about this just felt wrong. The meadow was the same. The trees surrounding the open space in the forest were the same. Even the full moon shining in the night sky was the same. But it was all so very wrong at the same time. Everything was deathly still and deafeningly silent. Even the sea of stars above refused to blink. A sense of dread was churning in my stomach as I turned in slow circles where I stood. I could feel that there was something or someone out there, but I couldn’t see anything but grass and trees around me. If this was a dream, his dream, where was he? Every dream we’d shared, he’d always been right there, either beside me or within eyesight. Why would he dream about me standing alone? The one other time I’d been pulled alone to this place, I coul
