Alyssa"Alpha Trey!" A voice rings downstairs. "We're under attack," the voice shouts. "Please send help immediately. Pack members have been injured."My heart drops as I hear those words. I rush downstairs to see what's happening. Alpha Trey stands on the front porch looking concerned."Go inside, Alyssa," he instructs me quietly. "The Moon Creek pack is coming for us. Go get dressed."Panic grips me as I stare at the bloodstains covering the ground outside. "No," I whisper."Go get Adam," Alpha Trey says calmly."But-""Do exactly as I tell you, Alyssa. Please. Do not argue with me."His tone leaves little room for argument. I nod, heading towards Adam's room. I knock on the door but there's no answer. I open the door slowly, hoping to find him asleep. He's not in his bed but the sound of water running fills the air. I step into the bathroom and see Adam standing under the shower, his perfect body glistening wet. His muscles ripple beneath his skin, making me want to touch every inc
AdamI turn my head only to see my father lying flat on the ground. His body is covered in blood and he does not breathe. Alyssa is there next to him, holding his hand tightly."Father..." I call out to him, feeling helpless. He has been taken from us. I hurry to get to him but am blocked by several wolves. They are surrounding us and closing in fast. One of the wolves lunges forward, aiming to bite my leg. The others leap on me and try to pull me down. I aim for their throat and sink my teeth into their neck. Instantly, they release me and begin thrashing wildly. Their bodies hit the ground, lifeless."Adam!" Alyssa screams, seeing me being attacked.She rushes to my aid and manages to push past the wolves who had surrounded me. We run to Father together and crouch down beside him."Father, please wake up," I plead desperately, shaking his shoulder frantically.His breathing is absent. "Please... don't leave me alone," I whisper to myself as tears stream down my cheeks uncontrollably
AlyssaI can't sleep. I keep thinking of Alpha Trey and the attack of the Moon Creek pack. The thought of losing him makes my heart ache. I miss him so badly, I feel hollow and broken inside. His absence leaves such a void in my soul, it hurts to breathe. It triggers memories of losing my own family. Yet there's no way I can allow myself to succumb to grief. I have to be strong for Adam. I need to be there for him. I promised him I'd protect him and won't break that promise. No matter what happens or how hard things get, I will never abandon Adam again.I hear movement outside the room, and when I open my eyes, Adam stands beside the bed looking down at me. He smiles softly, and I smile back. I reach out and grab hold of his shirt."Hey, Adam," I whisper into the darkness. "How are you doing?"His arms wrap around my waist. "Better now."My body relaxes against his. "Me, too. I was worried sick about you.""You didn't need to worry. I'm fine." He kisses my forehead and then moves ont
AdamAll the pack members have gathered to pay their respects to their Alpha. I stand next to my father's coffin waiting for everyone to say their goodbyes. Alyssa is next to me, my mother on the other side. There are so many people here. Alpha Trey was loved by all of us; it's hard to believe he's gone. My mother grips my hand tightly; she's crying quietly, but not letting go of my hand, which is a comfort to me in a way I don't understand."Thank you all for coming here today," I say in a low voice so only those gathered can hear it "My father was a strong leader for us all for many years." Everyone nods their heads but no one speaks, so I continue "He worked endlessly protecting those who could not defend themselves." We've been hearing stories about what he's done for years now but never really talked about it much in front of the pack members; we've never celebrated what he did for us but merely mourned his loss when it happened." There is a moment of silence in the room before I
Alyssa"Morning," Adam says as he steps into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. He's wearing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt as he heads over to the coffee pot. "I was thinking about getting up an hour ago but I couldn't seem to find the motivation," he says with a cheeky smile while pouring himself a cup of coffee before sitting down at the table across from me "Didn't sleep too well last night," he adds after taking a sip "Did you?""Yes, I woke up about an hour ago and couldn't get back to sleep so I got up instead," I reply looking down at my cup of coffee as I take a sip "I'm not sure why though; I'm not usually one for waking up early in the morning."Adam chuckles as he takes another sip of his coffee "So, do you have any plans for today?" he asks holding his cup in his hands."Not really, just helping myself to some fresh air around the house. I guess I just need to clear my mind. How about you?""Well, I'm gonna meet my buddies in town, so I guess I'll see you later." He
Alyssa"Let me go, damn you," I scream, pulling on the chains to break free.He chuckles evilly looking down at me. "If I wanted to kill you right now, you wouldn't have a chance to run away," he says."Oh really?" I snarl. "Why don't you just do it? You can't, can you? You don't even have the guts to show your face.""How dare you speak to me like that!" He roars throwing himself on top of me. His hands grip my throat choking me. Tears stream down my cheeks as I try desperately to pull myself out of his grasp. He pulls tighter until my vision blurs. I feel like I'm going to die. But then he releases me suddenly standing up straight."Do you know where you are?" he asks calmly.I shake my head unable to form words. All I can focus on is the pain radiating through my neck and shoulders from his chokehold. "Please, let me go.""Not yet," he snaps. He removes his mask, showing his face to me."Who are you," I whisper.He smirks, running his hand over his black beard stubble. "My name is
Adam"Alyssa," I call, knocking on her bedroom door. There's no answer. I open the door and step inside looking for her. Her scent is weak, which tells me she hasn't been here in a while. I go downstairs to check the kitchen and I find Alice sitting at the table eating lunch alone."Alice," I say walking closer to her."Hi Adam," she says smiling warmly."Is Alyssa home?" I ask worried."No, she left earlier today saying she needs some fresh air," she sighs shaking her head sadly."Do you know where she went?""Yeah," she nods. "I think she was heading outside.""Thanks, Alice."I step outside trying to follow her scent. It leads me to the woods. But there's another scent. A male's scent. I recognize the scent as someone from the Moon Creek pack. Something must have happened to her. My heart drops as bad thoughts start going through my mind. What if she had gotten attacked again or worse? I run quickly towards the pack house and burst inside."What's wrong?" mother asks running up beh
Alyssa"Get me out of here," I shout, hitting the door with my hands. "Open up! Please just fucking open the damn door!"How could this happen to me? How did he find me? Why would they hurt me? I thought I was safe here. I didn't think anyone knew who I really am."Please…" I beg."Calm down, little one," Tobias says as he opens the door. His eyes glow red when he looks at me. Why are you fighting it? you're home now. Adam doesn't love you and he never did. You belong with me and the Moon Creek pack now.My heart sinks hearing him say those words. Tears fill my eyes, and I sob uncontrollably falling to the floor crying. Tobias picks me up cradling me in his arms. I push him away and try to run past him."No," he scolds. "Not until you calm yourself.""Why do you want me so much? What does it matter what happens to me?" I cry.Tobias turns around walking towards the bedroom. He sits down on the bed next to me."Because you are mine and always have been since the moment I laid eyes upon
