BASTIANSitting at my desk at the Unit, I seem to not be able to concentrate on anything else, but Sam.I've been avoiding the office, working from home for a few weeks now. I don't want to leave her just in case, but I have a massive amount of work I need to catch up on.I was just about to file some papers away when I got a knock on my door.It opens and two blonde Alphas walk in. I smirk. "Well, if it isn't the double mint twins." I lean back in my chair. "A little far from the recruitment center, aren't you boys?"Wes and Grey Andrews. Alpha Andrews twin boys. Beefy guys. Blondes with blue eyes. Always together. It's weird. I cringe at thought of what else they do together.Wes smirks at me. "Bastian. We thought you went AWOL.""Me? Never." I put my hands on my desk. "Just had some stuff to clean up at home."Grey folded his arms. "Yeah, we heard. You really think that fancy dance hall is going to land you the Head Alpha position?""Uh…It's a multimillion-dollar grand ballroom and
SAMMY The last episode I had was the most disturbing one ever. I don't even know what set it off. All I know is that after my hypnosis session with Dr. Rennet, I was feeling pretty good. I was just working in the ballroom when the beast wanted out. The pain was excruciating. I could feel it pushing and clawing its way to surface. I'm sure I would have lost if Bastian didn't show up when he did. It's weird, his connection to me. I can't say I hate it. It's just strange since we really aren't anything to each other. I won't lie and say, I'm not starting to have feelings, but he's my boss and I can't tell him how I feel. I need to get these feelings out before I lose what little control I have. I fill my paint tray and turn on my music. I'm painting and dancing as I listen to 'Cooler Than Me.' By Mike Posner. I wiggle my hips, as my brush glides around the canvas. This where I love to be. In front of my easel, listening to tunes and zoning out. Letting the paint come together the w
BASTIANAfter we got home, I said goodnight to Sammy at her door.It wasn't a typical date, but it was something I won't ever forget.I knew Sammy was special, I just didn't realize how much. To help her people, when her own Alpha was clueless to the problems, makes me feel like a complete dick.All these years, I've walked around society. Bragging about my perfect pack. My perfect life. I was so off base. Now that I know, I have to fix it. Just like I'm helping Sammy, I'll help my people, too. I can't allow my people to suffer while I build stupid ballrooms. Sammy taught me that tonight.I wish I could hold her right now, but I feel like we're not there yet. We've gotten closer as the weeks go on, but she still feels some distance away. I'm sure it's because she doesn't want to burden me with her problems, but what she doesn't get is that I want to be burdened. I want her problems. To see her carry this by herself, kills me. But I'll give her space if she wants it while still keeping
SAMMY"Good morning, everyone!" I chirp as I walk into the ballroom.Eric arches a brow from the table he's sitting at. "Someone's awake this morning.""I am and I'm feeling fantastic." I smile.Eric leans his head on his hand. "And why's that?""Oh, I don't know. It's a beautiful day. I'm finally getting proper sleep. It's just.... a good day." I set the binders I was carrying on the table beside Eric.Dylan, bringing my coffee to me, snickers. "Right, I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with where you spent last night."I scowl and take a cup from him. "No. It doesn't.""Sammy, where did you sleep last night?" Eric pries."The Alpha's room." Dylan says, smirking and folding his arms."Sammy." Eric says in a warning tone."What? It was a spur of the moment thing. It won't affect the job." I drink my cup.Eric drops his arm to the table. "We don't sleep with clients, Sammy. You know this."I drop my cup on the table. "I know. But he was there, the lighting, the moon, the muscles..
BASTIAN"Anton. Get Nigel, Dylan and anyone else. Sammy's gone.......I don't have time to explain...........I'm at the park..............Just get here." I hang up the phone.I can't believe what I just saw. Her face was pure evil. She wanted me dead. I can only assume that Sammy couldn't do it, so the wolf ran.The wolf. That was no wolf. It was at least half a size bigger than even the largest Alpha. Its fur was chocolate brown and had a purple sheen to it. Its head was massive. I've never seen a wolf that big. Her eyes glowed a deep pink. Her jaws drooled. She looked thirsty for blood. She was twisted. Crazed. She looked at me and snarled before running for the tree line.I didn't realize the scope of what I was getting myself into.Cars pull up behind mine and Dylan practically falls out of Nigel's truck. "Where is she?!"I hold my head. "I... I don't know.... She shifted and ran into the woods."He grabs me. "Wha...she shifted?!"I nod. "Dylan. She's massive. From the looks of her
SAMMYI've felt like I'm drifting away. Like I'm trapped in a never-ending nightmare. I'm done panicking. I've got nothing left. I'm starting to lose any hope of escaping my mind.After staring into the black for so long, I almost missed it. The pink lights return.The beast is showing me more. I squint my eyes to adjust to the brightness. Images come forward."This was once your kingdom. The home of the creator." The growling voice came through.I look at the destroyed, burnt-out homes. The twisted cars. The abandoned items of families."What happened here?" I crawl on my knees to get closer to the pictures projected through the wolfs eyes."A great battle. Destroyed your kingdom. Your people scattered to the wind." The growls sounded sad as it travels through the roads."Where are you taking me?" I look for anything that could tell me where I am."Your castle." It confirms."I don't have a castle. I'm an interior decorator!" I punch the floor."You are so much more than that. You'll
SAMMYThe wolf is determined to hold me forever. We travelled for days. Slept during the daylight and walked at night.Finally, we stop and the pink lights appear."This is where the prince was born.""What prince?" I ask again"The one who is yours, child. The one you were created for. With his strength and wisdom, you will both ascend to the throne." The deep growling voice echoed."Will you stop! I'm not royalty!" I shout."No. You're a God. Sent to command us all." The voice boomed making me cover my ears.We travel into the town."Do you want to get caught?" I say in a snarly tone."The town is quiet now, as we’ll be."We stop outside a tiny house. Under the cover of trees."Why are we here?" I ask."The woman who bore the prince lives here. She's the same as you except she bares no wolf. Her power went to the son she carried." The voice informed."She's human?" I slide closer to the vision."Yes. However, the child she held is not. He's something more.""Who was his father?""Th
BASTIANWith Alexi riding shotgun, we pull into the tiny human town of Bellington.Tiny really is an understatement. There are probably only 20 houses here. All small, humble looking homes. There's a diner, a small church and a few other buildings. This town makes Black Lake look huge.I park the car on the side of the street. "So, where do we start?" I ask Alexi.She looks around. "That restaurant looks like as good a place then any."I nod and get out. We cross the street and walk to the little eatery. It has soft lighting save for the large front window letting in more light. It's filled with square, dark wood tables. There's maybe 5 people in it. A big, overweight guy is behind the counter. He wearing a tight t-shirt and an apron.He eyes us as we walk in. "You folks lost?" He arches a brow as he wipes the counter.The others at the tables turn and scan us suspiciously. I meet their staring eyes and give a little wave saying 'Hi' quietly. Flashing my best smile. I don't want to be
