Secrets
Sweat drenched the man’s face and stuck strands of his blonde hair to his forehead as he hurried inside, despite the chill of the air outside. He didn’t notice us at first, but when he did, his beady eyes darted between Hugo and I behind thick lenses. His scent hit me like a wave, and I could tell this man hadn’t showered for at least a few days. Human? I felt my impulses settle slightly, knowing I was capable of handling this situation now without shifting.
Hugo moved around me. “Dad?”
The man’s face lit up and he moved to embrace his son with a look of relief in his eyes. I was rooted where I stood. The situation might have been heart warming for Hugo, but I could sense that there was something very wrong with this man. He was on edge, looking like he hadn’t slept and smelling like he hadn’t showered. When he pulled away I saw the strain it took for him to smile and knew he was holding some

The Doc made me tell him everything I knew first. He listened intently while I relayed the last months events from beginning to end. There were some things that even Hugo didn’t know and I could see he didn’t like the part where I promised Cassidy that I’d keep him safe. He didn’t like me putting myself in danger on his behalf. The part about my mother was harder to get out, but the two of them let me go as slowly as I wanted. I could see that this hit Doc especially hard, but also made him understand why I’d done a lot of what I’d done. He had eased up quite a bit by the end of my story, which took some stress off me. I didn’t know how much time had passed since I’d left my packhouse but I tried not to think about that while I had this chance to learn more about Hugo and the necklace. “I’m sorry to hear about your mother. Hanon rarely speaks of Ally but when he does it’s only kind words.”

“Natalia…we said we were sorry. Please don’t be angry anymore.” Mel pleaded. I crossed my arms, which was followed by disapproving looks from Jace, Ash and Ky. I hadn’t spoken to Fyn and Mel for the entire night after screaming at them and shaking my fists in the air for an hour. The silence had seeped all the way into the next morning’s patrol, and lunch. We were relaxing in one of the extra cabins my father used for storage, waiting for dinner when Mel finally decided to address me again. “I’m not angry.” I kept my voice level. “I’m disappointed.” Fyn rolled his eyes. “Please don’t use Chano’s method of parenting lines on us. We already know you’re pissed; you might as well yell some more.” “I enjoyed that.” Ky laughed. “Angry Alpha Natalia.” I glared at him. “You’re next, Ky. Watch yourself.” Ash settled deeper into the beanbag in the corner. “So, are you going to tell us why you drag
Alpha's Honor Change of Plans
The bell rang just as I squeezed into my chair. My pack and I hadn’t gotten the chance to sneak off and snoop around the night before due to Shadowfang having their own arrangements of meetings. I was thankful that the youths kept their word and didn’t rat me out. Though, it did unsettle me whenever I would see one of the elders talking quietly with them. I was more unsettled when I saw Ava and Damien slip into their seats looking like they hadn’t slept all weekend. I barely noticed when Hugo slid into his chair. “Alright class.” Mr. Hinge began. I didn’t hear anything he said after that. I tuned him out to focus on the homework I hadn’t done over the weekend. Mr. Hinge wasn’t a strict teacher by any means, but he did take homework seriously. Not that homework was the first thing on my mind anymore. Still, I racked my brain for the answers but gave up when I realized I hadn’t been listening duri

Fyn draped an arm over my shoulder as we pushed through the cafeteria door. It was a friendly gesture to us, but it drew a few eyes from surrounding tables. I saw Fyn smile, enjoying the attention. I glanced back enough to see Jace take Mel’s hand; the gesture was so subtle but I knew I was seeing the beginning of something. I caught sight of Byron, leaning back in his chair and smiling at Claire, who sat beside him. The Redclaw wolves didn’t look uncomfortable around Chelsea’s friends; the same group they’d spent most of the last three years with. This triggered me, knowing that they’d nearly torn into Shadowfang for befriending Hugo and his friends. So, only they were allowed to hang out with humans? Not likely. We came upon a table that was erupting in laughter. The group of humans were enjoying themselves and their break time. It was only the sight of us sliding into the empty chairs around the table that silenced them. I sat beside Hu

I shot out of my seat. “Excuse me?” My father raised a hand to silence me. “Cedric and I have been trying to put together a meeting to talk about the union. We didn’t think something like this would happen, but this has been planned a week in advance.” “Reschedule.” I gritted my teeth. My father’s eyes hardened. Even from where I stood I could feel the power coming off him. His wolf had awakened by the challenge, but my father was calm. He had many years on us and knew how to control himself better than we did.. “Not an option.” He said coolly. “We aren’t in any mood to see Redclaw today.” He shrugged. “That’s your issue, not mine. The union must be discussed. It’s business, Natalia. I have a deal to uphold.” “No, you mean I have a deal to uphold. You need me to hold this meeting and I’m telling you to reschedule.” “Luckily for me, you’re not my Alpha.” He

It wasn’t until Byron leapt on me and I fell hard on my back that I realized what was happening. I shifted instantly; my wolf already prepared. This is what I’d been trained for. This is something I knew and understood. Attack. Fight. Defend. I ignored the pain from my fall and twisted my body, eventually getting a decent enough hit to Byron’s underbelly to make him jump back. He landed lopsided and scrambled to gain his balance again. It was only a few seconds, but it was enough for me to get to my feet and prepare for the second attack. It never came. Byron’s wolfish eyes met mine and he stilled. It was only then that I realized he hadn’t made a sound the entire attack. His lip wasn’t curled back the way mine was. His muscles weren’t tensed. In fact, he looked almost at peace. This unnerved me. He’s not your friend, Natalia. His thoughts came so clearly to me. Because yo

I knocked on the door for the third time. I knew it was only my impatience, but it felt like it was taking too long for them to answer. They had to be home. They had to be. I strained to hear past the door, but there was nothing. Silence. Deafening silence. My wolf paced in the corner of my mind, whining at the anticipation. Finally, I heard the latch on the door unhook and watched the knob turn. Doc’s face peeked at me through the small opening, but this wasn’t an invitation for me to come in. No, he was staring at me with confusion. “Natalia?” I froze. My heart stopped. The undeniable stench, foreign to an average human home, hit my nose like a warning. Wolf. Move. Trying to be as kind as I could manage, I shoved my foot into the opening and pried it open. Doc’s eyes widened but I kept going until there was enough room for me to slip in. I put my fingers to my lips when I saw him about to speak. He reached out a hand to grab me, but I shrugged him off and continued into the ha

Doc hurried upstairs to retrieve the man I’d heard so much about. I didn’t know what made me more uncomfortable; Hugo walking home when Redclaw could be stalking for him at the very moment or knowing the man who convinced my mother to betray her pack and the Elites was right above my head. I tensed as the stairs creaked. It was almost dramatic, how his feet appeared, then his legs, then his torso, and finally his face. He was a broad man, every inch of him screaming Alpha. Equal. This was the silent confirmation. He was my equal. He was an alpha. An alpha without a pack. When he stepped into the living room and looked up, his face paled. It was such an odd sight to see. His face didn’t look like it drained of color very often. I watched him with unease. Doc and Cass stepped into the hall, leaving me alone with this man. He took a step towards me and I took a step back, my lip pulling in a snarl. He put his hands up, realizing his mistake, and nodded affirmingly. “You’re Natalia.” He
