~Missy’s Point of View~
I couldn’t believe I was ruining their date so badly, I was an absolutely horrible mate! Maybe I really was just a loser. Maybe I really was just doomed to be alone, there was no help for me. Surely they’d find some excuse, some reason to dump me.
After I got sick I just felt worthless. Hunting, eating raw meat, that is what wolves are supposed to do!! Goddess they probably think I’m pathetic. Well, big shock … I am.
They think I’m fit to be their Luna? Even more of a joke! What kind of pack would follow me? I’d be a laughing stock, I’d humiliate my mates.
Ryan’s wolf led us back to the clearing where their clothes were. He laid down and I swung my leg over him and slid down. I
Aww poor Nate! What did you think of their confessions?
~Missy’s Point of View~ Nate almost kissed me! Or had he kissed me? Dang it, why did I close my eyes! I should have glued them open so I didn’t miss anything. We walked into the lobby and I was sandwiched between my mates with each of them holding my hand. I knew everyone was staring at us, and I did all I could to hold my head high. Like, sure this was normal, everyday life. “We need to put something in your belly since…” Nate whispered as we stood in the snack line. Of course all they had here was junk food, I really didn’t want to eat that in front of them and two dozen of the most popular kids in school. My stomach was too much all over the place. “Just a drink for now, don’t forget there’s the diner lat
~Ryan’s Point of View~ Last night with Missy was a real wake up call for Nate and I. Once we got back to our cabin we were so amped I didn’t think we’d even sleep. We were both beyond pissed off that other pups were mean to Missy. That shit didn’t happen in my pack, but I guessed Missy didn’t have a big brother or someone looking out for her. No one to kick some ass and take names. Well she fucking did now! I wished I’d have punched that snotty little bitch when I had the chance. But the Beta was right, our packs had a good relationship and I couldn’t fuck that up. I also couldn’t have Ridge and Tyra pissed at me for messing things up for them with Hollow Hill. Damn politics. I hate it. *Yet you wanna
~Missy’s Point of View~ I’d spent about six hours with Tyra and I knew two things for certain: she was a machine who truly was born for this, and I was so screwed. She knew absolutely everything about the pack, down to the finest details. She even knew how to tell poisonous bushes, berries and trees apart. She knew where all the property lines were, she could even tell time by looking at the sun!! I, meanwhile, was too humiliated to bring up the fact that I threw up looking at the gift that my mate’s wolf brought me. That I couldn’t even stomach watching them enjoy their kill. Luna Missy? No way! It took everything I had to try and hide my true feelings from mates, about not wanting to be their Luna. It abso
~Missy’s Point of View~ Was I allowed to have my mates in the house without my parents home? They hadn’t said. They didn’t ever have to give me rules like that since I obviously never had males over. My mom did nothing but drool over them herself and dad just talked to them about their packs and how things worked. It didn’t seem like my mates cared a whole lot about how my parents felt right now. Ryan carried me up the stairs effortlessly, like I was just a sack of potatoes. I craned my neck up to see Nate a couple steps below, grinning for all he was worth. He winked. I made a face. I had no idea what the context of the face was but I was so nervous. Never, ever more nervous. I mean, I had been alone in the
~Nate’s Point of View~“Quit it,” I whispered, getting annoyed with Ryan bouncing his knee.“I can’t help it. I don’t do waiting around very well,” he whined.We’d been sitting outside the Governor’s office for an hour, waiting for a meeting we were supposed to have 50 minutes ago. I didn’t like it either, but we didn’t have a choice at the moment.Alphas had to have a tremendous amount of patience, which I knew Ridge more than did. But his Alpha? Shit. That guy is just a loose cannon waiting to blow. I had no clue how Zach ran a pack.I needed this meeting today for the distraction. We had b
~Missy’s Point of View~ “I heard they tried to rape her,” someone whispered. “I heard they beat her and raped her, she’s probably knocked up,” another whispered. “I heard they punched her dad,” someone said. This was my second day of the aftermath of my weekend, and while it seemed like no one was talking about what happened at the movies … this was far worse. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to breathe while paying attention to the teacher. We were in our small auditorium, having a mass lecture on the history of our council, and learning about the Shadow Warriors. They seemed so scary and intimidating.
~Ryan’s Point of View~ “This place is probably gonna have some harsh ass winters,” I said, looking out at the land. Nate nodded in agreement. The climate of Long Tooth was used to heavy and dark winters, but White Falls had a bit of a higher year round temperature, being more south. They’d never seen three feet of snow dumped all at once. It’s a lot of work to make sure your entire pack has food and stays warm. I hope he understands that. I had a flash of my sweet girl with a nice round belly, curled up under me by a fire. Damn, that’s a nice dream for later, making love to her in front of a nice fire… How about being stuck inside with her while she’s in heat? Ohh damn, I’ll have to keep that visual for later.
~Missy’s Point of View~ I was walking home from school, after another ridiculous day of whispers and teasing. I couldn’t believe how quickly the entire pack found out my mates were going to be Alphas. There was a lot of criticism of course, for different reasons. Some people said they’d never be real Alphas, like legitimate. They didn’t have a bloodline and they didn’t fight for it. Which was ridiculous! If Ridge was given his pack and he was legit then my mates would be too. I had to believe that. I’d just come around the side of my neighbor’s house when I heard a whistle, like a cat call. I ignored it, figuring someone was just being a jerk. I finally cleared the side of my house and stopped dead in my tracks. Was I hallucinating?
