Daisy - My twin brother is a freaking Alpha! I can't even believe it, an Alpha! In the span of just a few short weeks our lives have been completely transformed, turned upside down in every way imaginable and I'm pretty sure my brother's head is still spinning. I know for a fact that mine is. O.K, O.K, Let me slow down, rewind, breathe, let me take you back to that time a ‘few short weeks ago’ and I'll tell you everything and bring you up to speed.So…Our pack is… no wait, was, the Rival River Pack, Jack was our Alpha and he is still the Alpha of Rival River, my twin brother Dave, was the beta, Jason is the Gamma and Brian is the Delta, we all grew up together, we have always been and still are very close, almost like siblings, which, O.K. I mean Dave and are actual siblings but well, yeah, you get what I mean. Anyway, it only feels like it was a few weeks ago that I was on night patrol with Jason. I was moaning about something or another that Dave had done, I can't remember what h
Daisy -My darling brother was never one to covet what others had, but because he didn’t want to burden his best friend with 2 packs to run, not when he had only just found his mate after almost 8 years of longing for her. So, with him taking on the role of Alpha to a pack under such turmoil, I am now the unofficial Beta of Twin Lakes as, without Dave as Alpha and me as Beta the pack would be completely leaderless.Ace very quickly went underground, he like, literally vanished, he is in hiding, the bloody coward ran as soon as he felt the shift in power, according to some of the pack members. He escaped with Maddie who was the Delta's daughter and her father. From what we have learned, it seems her father began orchestrating her rise through the ranks a long time ago, he poisoned the Luna to be barren, he encouraged Maddie to be with Ace
Some things you should know…..In this particular world of supernatural beings there are a few rules.There is no mindlink or verbal link to your wolf, you co-exist within one body but are separate beings with no way to communicate.You get your wolf at the age of 15.You can find your Mate at 17, regardless of their age.Pups are only born to True Mates, Chosen Mates are not able to have children together, but second-chance mates are common.Rejection is rare (Due to the baby thing) but not frowned upon.Rejection hurts the rejecter more than the rejected.Movement between packs is uncommon but not unheard of (Especially for ranked members searching for their Mates).This is a fictional world where some things may seem familiar but are out of the ordinary in this land.Everything written here is of my own imagination and any similarities between this and other works is purely coincidental.Thank you for giving my book a chance!!
Cassie - “Cr@ck 20 eggs into the mixing bowl, NO Shell! Add a dash of milk, A teaspoon of pepper, And whisk….. Melt some butter in the pan and pour.” If I focus on these steps, I might make it through the morning. I can’t mess up the eggs again. They will never let me live it down. I can’t take another beating like yesterday, I’m barely healed as it is, add another beating like that and I will be out of commission, with no hope of passing my exams this week, and if I don’t pass these exams I will never get out of here. I stop my musings long enough to stir the eggs and lower the heat, burnt eggs means burnt hands, I managed the bacon this morning and the sausages are a lovely colour, now all I need are these damn eggs to finish. The toaster pops startling me from my thoughts, just as Ace saunters into the kitchen, Ace, the man of the moment, the man of my nightmares… “Cas, are you dreaming about me again?” Ace asks me with a wicked smirk on his face. It isn’t an ugly face per
Flash back to yesterdayCassie - Yesterday started the same as any other for me, but thankfully, the weather was nice, the breakfast was done on time and the pile of washing was not the mountain it usually was, which made me consider hanging the washing outside to dry as I had some extra time today, what with it being a Sunday.But then, something went wrong, I felt the shift in the atmosphere as soon as I left the kitchen to begin the washing. The dining room fell silent as I entered. You could have heard a pin drop. There was a loud bang, which made me look up to see the pack were all sitting there, heads bowed in submission, hands flat on the table tops, nobody touching their food. At the end of the large room, right next to the warming trolley, at the head table, was Ace, standing upright and glowering in my direction with his fists planted on the table. Like a deer in headlights, I froze wondering what could have happened to entice such a drastic reaction from everybody, especia
Cassie - "Where did you just go? I was speaking to you!" Ace's harsh voice breaks through my thoughts as he takes hold of my wrist. "I’m sorry, Ace," I whimper trying to pull my arm away as his grip tightens. "Beta!"He snaps harshly, "I have decided you will only address me as Beta from this moment onwards, you do not deserve to call me by my given name." He punctuated his declaration with a sharp, jerking twist of my wrist. "Yes, Beta," I say quickly, silently praying he releases his grip on me soon, he is likely to snap my wrist if he grips much harder, "h… how can I help, what can I do?" I pause, then continue, "Breakfast is almost ready I promise, I just need to stir the eggs one last time, and then I can begin serving." "Hurry then, Cas, I'm hungry after training, and you have chores to complete. The warriors have just dropped off their workout gear for washing," His hisses, his hold on my wrist tightening beyond the point of pain, I can no longer feel my fingers. "Yes Ac…B
Cassie - Kneeling there on the soft area rug beside his bed, my heart is pounding, I have to force myself to remain still yet remain breathing. I may not be submitting to him, but I can make it appear that way for as long as I can, to appease him, hopefully he will fall for it and go easier on me, until I can think of a way out of this. Ace's feet appear in my line of sight, and I know by the flexing of them that he is squatting down in front of me, but still I don't move, not even a flinch. He places 2 fingers under my chin and forces my head up, so I am looking into his dark brown eyes as he gazes back at me. I thought I glimpsed a flicker of what could have been wonder in their depths, but it was gone before I could truly know. He spoke in a whisper, as though not wanting anyone to overhear, "Cassie, Cassie, Cassie, I'm hurt you say you don't wish to be alone with me, you see, I happen to know you want me, that is why you are submitting to me so prettily. So submissive and open
Cassie -I slowly make my way back downstairs and get myself to my room. I close the door as quickly as I can and lock it, closing myself in, away from the world. I pick up my school bag and, through my pain, I settle into my bed gingerly and attempt to complete all my assignments before I am too tired to focus. I still need to keep my grades up if I am to have any hope of leaving here.When I finally look up, having finally finished my last assignment of the day, I rub my tired eyes, relieving the dull ache that is forming behind them slightly and I glance at the old child-like clock I have on my dresser, the clock I have owned since I was around 5 years old, it is a little beaten and there is a crack in the glass front, but otherwise it has always worked well so there had been no need to buy a new one.With a sudden jolt of surprise, I see it is a little after 2am. Happy birthday to me, I think to myself, caught somewhere between excitement and dread. I wonder what fresh new hell co
