Shock, panic, and fear ran through me in waves. I was terrified but strangely … excited? What in the Goddesses’ name could possibly bring me face to face with Alpha Cole again so soon? He couldn’t have possibly been following me could he? No. I needed to squash that feeble hope right now, there was no way he was actually here to see me. I was a nobody; it was all just a horrible coincidence… right?
I slapped a shaky smile on my face and started towards them, I didn’t know the other wolf at the table, but he had enough power radiating off him for him to be an alpha as well, his aura was certainly stronger than my uncle’s, but still eclipsed by Alpha Cole. There was nobody like Alpha Cole, his presence consumed the room, and even the humans couldn’t help but take note of him and gave him a wide berth. One alpha was bad enough, but two? What could they be here for?
Alpha Cole, here and in the flesh, I still couldn’t

I stormed past the bar, making eye contact with Sam as I walked past, by the look in her eyes I could tell she was concerned for me, but if I explained everything now, I knew I would turn into and emotional crying mess. “I need ten minutes.” I said a little more stiffly than I would have liked, Sam did not deserve attitude from me, but I was so white hot mad it just leaked out into my words. Sam being Sam, she just nodded and let me go. I made my way out the back door to the loading dock and went straight up the stairs to my apartment. Only after the door closed behind me did I allow myself to lose my composure a little. I kicked the heels off my feet and halfway across the floor. Stomping barefoot into the bathroom, I grabbed the curls I’d so carefully created and pulled my hair up into a high ponytail instead. Stepping back from the mirror I looked hard at myself. I had been so sure of myself, I had felt so beautiful earlier, now I only felt ashamed. All beca

“Did you see the way that slut looked at him? Apparently she’s as stupid as I thought, so easily distracted by the biggest muscles in the room. I have been coming in here and watching her pathetic ass for the last few weeks. I was about to give in and just give the poor girl the pity fuck she needs until she came back looking like that, now she’s only worth a blow job.” His words slashed across my mind like razors, cutting and slicing as they fell from his lips. I would not have heard him from how far we were across the street if I were human, too bad for him I wasn’t. Rage fueled me as I moved across the street with the kind of speed and grace humans could only dream of. Before the cocky kid could even finish coughing his lungs out from his last hit off of the pipe they were passing around I gave him a hit of my own; square on his jaw. As I watched him fall to the ground unconscious, chaos erupted around me. One of the other four in the group tried to shove me

I stared in shock at her. Those big green eyes were wide and pleading, and for the first time I could see all the hurt inside her. I made a silent vow to her then, I was going to make her uncle pay for every second of pain she’d ever endured because of him, I was going to make him feel every ounce of humiliation and loneliness, everything she’d felt I’d give to him tenfold.“I’m not going to force you to go anywhere.” I said softly, surprising myself at the gentleness of my voice, inside I was seething “I just wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier, and to make sure you were alright.”“An alpha... apologize? That’s unheard of.” She said in disbelief“Not with this alpha.” I chuckled softly “I do my best, but I still make mistakes sometimes, and when I do I apologize and do my best to learn from them.” I took a slow step towards her, closing some of the distance between

When Alpha Cole finally left, I shut the door behind him and threw the lock. I turned to stare at my now vacant living space, with him here the small space had felt almost suffocating, that man had a way of sucking up everything around him, consuming my reality until only he existed. Dear goddess, what was I thinking agreeing to meet him again tomorrow! In less than 12 hours he’d caused so much emotional upheaval the only thing I should be doing is avoiding him at all costs. He went from insinuating I was a whore, to defending me from someone else calling me names? The hypocrisy made my head hurt. He had apologized for what he said -something I’d never heard an alpha do before. While he was here in my apartment he did seem like he was genuinely concerned about me, but why was that? It was all so confusing, I didn’t know how to feel or what to think about any of the events that had happened today.I brushed my teeth and slipped into my pajamas, pulling

The soft chiming of an alarm pulled Charlotte awake, rolling over onto her side, she quickly grabbed the clock and dismissed the alarm before it had a chance to wake anyone else in the house. It was still early, the world pitch black and still in these hours before daylight, but Charlotte could not be still, there were too many things that needed to be done if today was to go as planned. Bringing her feet to the floor she stood up and turned on the only light in the room, an old lamp without a shade perched on the edge of her faded oak dresser. She stretched her tired body and gazed bleary eyed at her reflection in the mirror, somewhat disappointed, she found the same face staring back at her that she had always had. A smile broke across her face suddenly, lighting up her face and making her bright green eyes sparkle because it hit her that today WAS different. Today was the day she’d been waiting on for years. After today she wouldn&rsquo

Cole closed his eyes and pinched the skin between his nose in annoyance. Mara, the eldest daughter of the shadow river pack was seated next to him at the table, and shamelessly kept pressing herself against him while she chatted about anything and everything that came into her head without pause. How was she still talking, did she not need to breathe? He asked himself, she was beautiful, no doubt. Her skin was a deep brown and her long flowing dark hair reached to her dainty waist, her brown eyes were large in her delicate features. Cole chided himself, what does beauty matter? I’ve seen beautiful women before, and many beautiful women had offered themselves to me. I've even taken more than a few of them up on those offers, only to find after the pleasures of the night were over I felt nothing for them. How can I help it if in my entire life no woman has ever managed to hold my interest for more than a few hours, or

“Did you see a woman come this way Alpha? Our Alpha’s ward has gone missing.” one of them asked. So that’s who she was, his ward. He remembered hearing something about this alpha keeping a young girl under his care, but what kind of man needs to send guards to find his ward? What has he done to her that would make her feel the need to run away? The thought of anyone mistreating her made his blood boil. “No, I've been alone since I left the dinner your Alpha rudely left me waiting at.” Cole responded, allowing his rage over her mistreatment and irritation at their interruption to reach his eyes, the displeasure on his face a clear warning to them that he should not be pressed further. “Apologies sir, we will continue our search.. elsewhere.” stammered what he assumed must be the officer among them, while turning and motioning his men to follow him as he proceeded back inside.

Charlotte had been running all night, after escaping the pack house she just kept moving, as silently as possible through the woods towards the border of their territory, she drew upon as much of her wolf as she could without shifting. She needed all the energy she could save for once she was off pack lands. “Come on lottie, it can’t be much farther now” she coached herself. It was shortly after dawn when she came to the border, moving through it felt like a small electrical buzz clinging to her skin as she passed, snapping like spider’s webs around her. The border was put up long ago by a witch. It had two purposes, when humans came near it would play on their fears and make them feel afraid so they would not trespass and discover them accidentally and the other purpose was to alert the alpha of any unauthorized coming or going on his lands. My Uncle now knew someone had crossed the border in this spot, and th
