I was woken up by Trevor smacking on some potato chips. I stood up to stretch my muscles and slapped him on the back of the head."What was that for? I'm not the one skipping school to take naps in a library. If you need a place to sleep, you are always welcome at my house," he informs me while rubbing the back of his head."How did you even find me?" That was the better question." "School let out, and my body led me here. After I saw you were sleeping, I went to the Cafe to get us some snacks," he pushed various snacks behind his back. "Thanks, man, I am starving." I started talking to Trevor about my personal life and asked him if he would help me escape on my birthday if something went wrong. He was at a loss for words as I disclosed my deepest secrets. "Damn, No wonder you used to be antisocial all those years in school, and no one knew who you were. I'm down with helping you with whatever you need, Bro." His eyes flickered black. When I saw his eyes flash, I knew his wolf had
Libby POV"Get back here now, Bell. You know better than to run away from me," my mother's guttural voice emphasized to this sandy-brown cub. The cub was running through the grassy meadow. Sprinting towards my mother's direction, knocking her over full force as she wrapped her warm arms around my body. Kissing the top of my head, soothing me with her hush tones. The sandy brown cub perches her body next to us. Watching me fall apart at the seams. "Mom, I missed you so much. You still look the same as I remembered," she wiped my tears away and moved my braids behind my ears. "You have grown into a beautiful young lady. I am proud of trying to bridge the gap between your father and brother. I know it has been hard, but you never gave up, my beautiful Luna. The Alpha who mates with you will be amazing. Bell, come here to meet Liberty (Libby)?" My mom ushered this troublesome cub near me. Not sure what to say, rambling off the first things that came to mind. "Hi, Bell. It's n
Louis POV This was a great birthday after all. I got to spend my birthday drama free. This was the first time Derrick did not show up and ruined my day. Planning to stay away from Dad until this weekend to dodge all the unnecessary arguments or bullshit. Friday Morning: Trevor and I skipped school to set up our weaponry. I was 100 percent positive that Derrick was going to make an appearance. Our first stop was to meet Dr. Johnson at the hospital. She gave us the wolfbane darts for the tranquilizer firearms. Dr. Johnson informed us, patrol members will be waiting in a black four sedan on the north side of the territory. They were going to take us to Atlantic City. We snuck around the territory hiding animal feces and smoked wood chips along our route to hide our scents. Then we practiced hand-to-hand combat just in case we needed to fight trained warriors on our way out. Going over the strategy one last time before the party.Friday Night : The party was i
Derrick POVEarlier that day:"Grey, this party is a bad idea. Let's just stay home and watch movies. The kids are going to have enough adult supervision there with them." "I'm not missing their birthday party again. Especially when I planned it." Grey's husky voice agitated my soul. Like why isn't he listening to me? I'm trying my hardest to avoid this party. "Look, I don't want us to go. There's something sheity about the way Louis has been acting and it's been that way since we saw him coming out of the woods. It's up to you to listen or not, whatever fucking happens is going to be your problem." Fed up with Grey's attitude. Went to the back of his mind, pissed off at the fact Grey is still dragging us to this party, ignoring my intuitions. The party was live. The kids were enjoying themselves. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Watching through Grey's eyes as a young male pup started caressing Libby's breast. Letting his first attempt pass. The male pup did
Libby POV Trevor and Louis got some fucking explaining to do. How in the hell did they leave me out of their plan to escape? What if I didn't want to leave with them? This is complete bullshit. I'm no longer popular, cheer captain, and last but not least I left Alexis behind. "Calm down Libby, it's not as bad as you make it seem. They had their reason for keeping you out of the plans. Louis needed to get away. No matter how much we lost physically. Look at what Louis is gaining mentally. Our father was a jerk to him. Dad even embarrassed us at our birthday party and called us a whore for dancing like everyone else. You should be proud of your brother for protecting you. Did you ever think about what Trevor sacrificed to help you guys run away?" Bell was speaking the truth that I didn't see. I just saw what concerned me. I felt like a bigger ass for not seeing the bigger picture. Bell always says exactly what I need to hear. Checking on the boys; both of them were asleep
Louis POV"Louis and Trevor, my dad wants you to meet him in his office," Levi walked into the game room. "OK, we will be right there," What the hell is going on now? To my surprise, Dr. Johnson was sitting in Alpha James' office. "Hey guys, I came to drop off the items you packed. Also, to give you an update on Alpha Grey," she was deep in thought.Trevor and I sat down on the leather loveseat. It was going to be a long conversation. " John and Blake are ok. They were nowhere to be found after ditching the clothes. Beta Anthony's mate Kim was also among the bodies we found at the party. The three wolfsbane darts you shot Alpha Grey with caused internal injuries, but it was not enough to kill him. He is in a medically induced coma. I need to know do you want me to save him or turn off the machines. Furthermore, the bonding cord that is shared between Alpha Grey and Derrick is completely gone. They are now two separate people living in one body. Derrick is more dominant than Alpha G
Fox Village High School was huge. I wouldn't expect anything less with the size of this community. Levi drove us to school in his Nissan Pathfinder, even though we told him we didn't mind taking the school bus. We went straight to the guidance counselor's office to get our schedules. It was the same schedule we had back home except for Driver Ed. Instead of Driver's Ed, we had different career paths. Trevor had business accounting, Libby had childcare, and I had culinary. It was a class all of us were interested in. Levi gave us a quick tour around the academy. "Honey bear, I have been looking all over for you this morning. Why didn't you wait for me at your locker?" Some blonde-haired girl walked up to Levi. "Don't call me honey bear, I couldn't meet you today. I had Alpha business to take care of. Let me introduce you to my new friends Louis, Libby, and Trevor. Everyone, this is my friend Stephanie." Levi's calmed demeanor shifted."Don't you mean girlfriend honey bear," St
One Year Later The summer skies were clear. It was hot and humid outside. Alpha James had invited some pack members to the packhouse for a cookout to celebrate our graduation. Libby invited her boyfriend Daniel over to the cookout as well. We were having a great time until Beta Michael and Stephanie walked into the backyard. Both Stephanie and Daniel had their nose in the air at the exact time. "Mate" they announced as they ran into each other's arms. The backyard erupted in applause. It was a happy occasion to witness someone finding their soulmate. Levi returned from the packhouse, to see Stephanie hugged up on Daniel. The glassware shattered on the ground as Levi proceeded to tackle Daniel."Go walk it off, son! They are mates. Nothing you can do about it." Alpha James leaps in between them. Levi shifted into Kane before he took off running, Kane peered back at Libby with a smirk on his face."What goes around, comes around. Karma is a bitch. Louis, how much do you want to bet Lev
