"Did you hear what happened to Abaddon last night?" Ana asks as soon as Tabitha and I get to school. "Rogues attacked him in his bedroom.""What? When? Is he ok?" My voice is filled with panic, so much so that Tabitha steps closer to me, her hand rubbing my back reassuringly."It's ok, Ser, I'm sure the Alpha is sorting it out and dad won't let anyone hurt us. That's why he locked us in yesterday, to keep us safe." She hasn't asked who was in my room last night, I think she knows I'd deny anyone was there anyway. But, she hovered around my room this morning pretending to chat, while attempting to subtly sniff to identify his scent. I sprayed so much perfume around before I opened the door that I doubt she could even make out mine in there."Uh huh, apparently Alpha Eligor is furious. He's punishing the night patrol by making them figure out how the Rogues got past them before they're allowed to end their shift. Even if it takes days or weeks, they're not allowed to leave until they kn
Sera has skipped school and she's blocking me trying to link with her. Part of me wants to call the patrols and get them to find her, but not only are they busy with finding out how the Rogues got in, but also, what if she's doing something she shouldn't be? No, it's better to wait until I can get away, then find her myself.Why did her wolf freak out this morning? Was it really her panicking over me being attacked? And why does that make me happy?"Abaddon, baby, can I sit with you?" Ubel grumbles in my head at Tasha's question and when I look up from my lunch, she's there, tray in hand, looking pitiful."Why aren't you sitting with Naomi?" I mutter, nodding my head to where her friend is sitting with a guy, practically on his lap, their faces attached at the mouth and have to shake away the thought of kissing Sera last night. Why do I keep doing that? I never want to kiss anyone, but I can't help myself with her."Abaddon, are you listening to me?" Tasha snaps, placing her plate do
Sweat drips down my back, stinging the open cuts that are taking forever to heal and I'm fairly sure my right shoulder is dislocated, but Levi, the third ranked warrior in my class, is still standing and my father will not accept anything less than first place, even during training, so I grit my teeth and force myself into position. Levi growls in frustration, he's panting, drenched in sweat and desperate to prove his worth by taking down the future Alpha. "Come on, Abs, stop playing with him, I'm hungry." Gene, my best friend and the only other person that knows my father insists I ingest wolfsbane twice a week, calls out to me. "You're always hungry." I laugh, so used to the pain that my voice comes out cocky and natural. Levi grunts as he gets into position, his back bent, legs apart, arms out. It's obvious he's going for a take down, leaving his face wide open. If I can catch him just right, I can knock him out and end this before I embarrass myself and pass out right here on
Ana is hovering by the gates nervously waiting for me when my dad pulls up outside the school, she looks down at her shoes, avoiding eye contact as my dad stares her down. He knows she was the one training with me on Saturday morning when I was caught, even though I refuse to confirm it, and if he thought I would listen, he'd ban me from seeing her. As it is, I've just got my sister as a new guardian. She's as happy about the situation as I am, but she wouldn't dare go against my parents orders. "Right, mum'll be back here at three on the dot to pick you up. Tabitha once she's here you're free to do what you want." Dad tells us the plan for the upteenth time since I was carried home, tied up and humiliated, just for wanting to learn how to defend myself. It's not like I'm asking to be Alpha or anything, I j
Gene has a secret, I've known for a while but just assumed he had an embarrassing crush or something. Maybe she's too young or too old, maybe it's a guy or someone already mated. Who knows, I haven't pushed him, knowing he'll tell me if he wants me to know, but an uncomfortable feeling has begun building in my stomach while watching him exchange conspiratol looks with Seraphina. He's definitely talking to someone over mindlink and so is she. They're both pretending to be involved in something else, but it's obvious by the way they keep glancing at one another that they're talking privately, and, by the little smiles they've got on their faces, I'd say they get on well. Too well. "Hey, what do you think?" I ask him suddenly. I'm expecting some sort of guil
This has felt like the longest week of my life, everyday after school I’ve come home with my mother to cook and clean the house, forbidden to go for a run unless I’m with someone from my family and even then it’s restricted to a short one before we go to my Grandparent’s to check on them. My Gran is a kindly old woman, but she’s like a replica of my mother and Tabitha, she doesn’t understand why I would want anything more than to settle down with my mate. The fact that I want to study baffles her completely and the idea of leaving, she somehow takes as a personal insult, so I don’t mention either in front of her. My Grandad on the other hand is much more understanding, he’s very old and was a warrior when Abaddon’s Grandfather, Alpha Isaiah, was in charge. They travelled to many packs across the country searching for Alpha Isaiah’s mate and even a few abroad.
Gene started acting weird during training, so when he said he had to be somewhere straight after then ran off before I could ask him anything about it, I followed him. From enough of a distance that he wouldn't realise if he was checking, but he's being sloppy anyway, rushing towards the old quarry and I suddenly wonder if he's meeting someone here. Maybe this mystery mate he's hiding from me.Unfamiliar emotions course through me when I see him talking to Seraphina, the strongest one is the one telling me to run in there and slash his throat, which I've never had towards him, he's my best friend, closer to me than my half brother and she's nothing to me, we've barely spoken before.Sure I've always thought she was beautiful, but she was always too good for me, too kind, too pure, right up until she found those girls and then she became a pain in my ass.
I didn't expect to be kissing Abaddon in the woods, would never have even imagined it, but now it's happening, I don't want to stop. My hands are in his hair holding him against me, while he pins me to a tree, his body is flush with mine and the more he presses into me, the more I can feel his erection between my legs. He lifts me up and I automatically wrap my legs around his waist. He groans so I pull back, worried I've accidentally hurt one of his injuries. "Sorry, are you ok? What can I do?" I try to wriggle to my feet but he stops me with his hips, confusion making his brows pull down. "I don't want to hurt you, you made a noise, I thought…" His mouth lands on mine again, his groin thrusting into mine until a similar moan escapes my lips and
