Betrothed To The Pack's Alpha Chapter 1
FREYA"Lovebug, I can't believe you are about to graduate and leave town. When did you grow up so fast?" Mom stares at me with big, soulful eyes as she helps me pack clothes in my dorm. "You're about done with all your college exams. Aren't you?"I nod without looking up from my computer as I check the citations section of my paper before tweaking the last of them."Yeah. Almost." I lick my lip. "I have to turn in this history paper tonight, and then I'm done with everything, Mom. You don't need to look so frazzled. I'm moving to Colorado, not to the other side of the world." I laugh. "If anything, I'll still be close to you.""Freya, you keep saying that, but do you mean it? I know you wanted to be independent and start your new life, and that's why I didn't stop you when you moved two hours away to study at this college, but this is a nine-hour trip from home."My mom's small nose twitches as she stares at me, and then it wrinkles."Why do you hate your life here in Salt Lake? It's

LUCAS"Luke, they have crossed our territory and its boundaries several times this past week. We have found paw prints in the wet soil surrounding the creek. If that weak Matherson family can't keep their paws away from our settlement, I don't know what options we have at our disposal other than to punish them. They won't take our threats seriously unless we retaliate and attack." He stares at me as if he wants me to give in. "This time, you have to understand, Luke, that this is serious, and the stakes are beyond what you have thought of, what with the Summer Moon Festival coming on and all that.""So, you want to violate the peace treaty with the Mathersons? What's next, Eli? Do you want to attack the Spiropoulous family afterwards you've done attacking all the rival packs in the area and have them cast a death spell on our kin?"Eli shifts from one foot to another. He doesn't like my answer, and I'm glad my words get under his skin. His gaze falls on a distant object in my room as

LUCASWalking through the foyer, I hear a blood-curdling scream and the clattering of plates against a hard surface. As I pace towards the dark room at the distant end of the long hallway on the left, the noises of someone angrily throwing things against the wall get discernible and louder. Feeling uneasy, I rush to the door at the end of the hallway and open it up an inch to peer inside, and what I see makes my heart sink. My eyes start to prickle with unshed emotions. Tears form in the back of my eyes as I watch him limp across the room, and our helper, Ms Ortiz, stands in the corner, unfazed with shaky hands. She gazes at him patiently, waiting for him to settle on his bed and not make more noise.Without exchanging a word with either of them, I close the door and suck in a deep breath.His meltdowns are a dirty little secret we are hiding in this family. We hide things from each other and ourselves. That's what we learnt to do as kids, and naturally, we inherited those traits from

FREYA"Where are you, babe?" Colin asks me as soon as I pick up the call. "Do you want me to come to pick you up so we can spend some time together? I also need to pick up some clothes from the nearby mall, and I thought having you around would help me pick out something nice.""What for?" I reply. "Are you picking out clothes for your new job or something? Or are you planning to keep interviewing with other companies?""Yep, and yep, and yep." He sighs. "I'm going to keep looking.""Sounds good." Licking my lips, I stare at the dial on my wrist. "I have to do something before I leave anyway. Also, I'm at the library, so I got to go. Text me when you get here.""All right, sweetie."When I put my phone back on the table, a woman sitting across the other side of the room watches me silently with a poker face. It's not a passing look, but a full-on gaze as if she's apprehending me or she's personally offended that I decided to pick up the call from my boyfriend while sitting inside the

LUCASAs I pace through the stairs of the barely lit derelict manor, my heart thumps against its walls. Wondering if I made the right decision to meet a powerful witch here, my pulse rises. My heart is pacing with an added influx of anxiety, and I feel overwhelmed by the choices I had to make to get here. If the question hadn't been about maintaining the peace around our settlements, I wouldn't have been caught meeting her again in this life, let come alone, especially not after what she did to me. At least I wouldn't have made that decision willingly.Who would have thought they could sequester me here, away from all of my pack members?Dumbass Pete isn't even responding to my text messages.And Eli has to be banging some lax young woman somewhere, lying to her that he'll choose her as his mate.Why did I even have to come here?Why didn't I ignore those messages when I got them?What good has ever come out of meeting Cherise Spiropoulous in deserted locations?I hear a screech comin

FREYAStaring at my phone, I let out an exasperated breath. The more I stare at my phone, the more this annoying feeling starts to sink in. My heart thumps as if it's scared something doesn't feel right. Something feels off to me.Narrowing my eyes at my phone screen, I try to interpret the last few texts we exchanged last night. Nothing outright jumps at me, but it still makes me wary. Colin has been a bit aloof since we said our goodbyes at the mall last night, but whenever something like this happens where he forgets that I also exist in this world, he shows up at my door the next day and offers me his full unadulterated attention.And I have gotten used to him doing just that, but can I wait a whole day to hear from him?His not being in touch with me is so not like him.I wonder what Colin is doing at this very moment.He was supposed to text me today, and we were supposed to spend time together on his special day.At least, that's what I thought we agreed on.Even though he was
