I stood outside the restaurant at the harbor checking the message from Charlotte. I walked to my car and instinct had me looking around. I recognized her walk as I looked at her from behind. I got into my SUV and watched her. She entered a coffee shop and ten minutes later they all came outside and got into a car.I memorized the number plate and followed them down the highway as they drove toward the hotel. I slowed down so they wouldn’t see me turn onto the dirt road. I drove home and took my phone out as I sat in the driveway.“Jericho,” she answered.“Bluebird, I need you to hack the network and see who the target is here in Seward. I just spotted my old team in town,” I said.“Shit. I’ll send you what I find,” she said and ended the call.Nataly, Nick, Charlie, Joshua, Nicole the newbie and Kade Kominski were in Seward. That meant they had come to kill someone. Kiran knocked on the window of my car and I opened the door and got out.“Are you going to sit in your car the whole day
“Aim and shoot,” I said to Kiran. “Just not at my head.” We both chuckled and Kiran raised the gun as Malachi joined us.“This is insane, you know that, right?”Kiran glanced at Malachi and then focused back on me and squeezed the trigger. I heard the click of the silencer but felt nothing. “Did you miss?” I looked down at my abdomen and the small circle of blood. My body rejected the bullet and expelled it. The hole closed up instantly.“No, I got you,” Kiran said and looked at me.“What the hell are you guys doing?” Carl asked as he stepped into the garden as well.“Kiran’s shooting Levi,” Malachi answered him.“Ah, the no pain thing. Give me the gun,” Carl said. Kiran handed the gun to Carl and he aimed it at my stomach.“Give it your best shot,” I said. Carl smiled as he pulled the trigger. Again the same thing happened. My body rejected the bullet and the hole healed instantly. Carl pulled out a knife and he was in front of me quickly, pushing the knife deep into my stomach. “So
“Tonight’s fight night will be between Levi, Carl and Frank to determine new ranks within the pack,” Kiran said.Carl and Frank stood to one side and I stood in the middle. I looked at Frank and motioned for him to enter the ring. He was a boxer by nature and I didn’t box at all. I preferred Silat and had practiced it all my life. It felt more natural than anything else and Silat was deadly if applied correctly.Frank lifted his arms and started circling me. My hands were hanging loosely next to my sides as Frank came for me. I grabbed his arm on the second division and twisted his arm behind his back. I stepped forward with my foot and pushed his foot toward me. He lost his balance and landed on his back.Frank turned around and Carl shouted at him from the side. I just smiled and watched him. It happened so automatically and I knew exactly what he was going to do, which punch he was going for. I moved my head out of the way at the last second as he came in for a jab to my head and I
“Who presents this newest member to the pack?” Richard asked as he stood on the dais. The pack members were all seated at the tables and I stood next to Kiran.“I, Kiran Sinclair, Alpha of the Southern Alaskan Pack,” he answered.“Present your member to the pack,” Richard said to him.“I present Levi Montgomery Sinclair, son of Georgina Sinclair, taken at the age of two and raised human and unaware, born of the Southern Alaskan pack under Female Alpha Georgina Sinclair,” Kiran said.“Who seconds this presentation?” Richard asked. This was where James would step up but instead, Malachi stood up.“I, Malachi Sinclair, former Alpha of the Southern Alaskan Pack, seconds this presentation,” he said with a smile on his face.“Do you, Levi Montgomery Sinclair, confirm your desire to be ceremoniously inducted and accepted into the Southern Alaskan Wolf Pack?” Richard asked me.“I do.”“Do you, Levi, swear to uphold the wolf laws that have been taught to you?”“I do.”“Is there any person pres
The Helm of Awe covered my left shoulder and on my right was Valknut. Yggdrasil was in the middle and flowing from the roots of the tree was a wolf head. On either side of the wolf was a Jericho 9mm, Kiran’s personal touch to my Zeta mark. From the bottom of the roots, down my spine, was a ghost rune designed by Malachi with my name Jericho adorning the top of Yggdrasil.An hour and a half later Marcus was finished and I put my shirt back on. Tonight I would have to undress with every member of the pack present and shift for the first time in my life.Back at the house, I went to lie down since Charlotte hadn’t returned from her shopping trip yet. The tattoo on my back was tender and I lay on my side. Tonight would be a long night with the official ceremony and then the shifting. It would be an all-night affair.I woke up when Charlotte lay down next to me and put her arm around me. I took her hand in mine and pulled her closer.“Did you have fun?” I asked her with my eyes still close
“Are you ready for tonight?” Kiran asked me.It was a full moon and I would be introduced to the pack tonight. I’d kept a low profile for the past two weeks, kept myself busy scouring the forest and the surrounding mountain, surveying the area and I only went out when it was necessary.“Yeah, thanks to all the shit you put in my head, I know exactly what’s waiting for me,” I said and he laughed.“It’s not that bad,” Kiran said.I gave Kiran a pointed look. “I heard you scream like a little girl, twice.”Malachi chuckled. “You’ll be fine.”“So, this fight night thing–”“I’m beginning to think that you’re a born Alpha Zeta,” Malachi said. I’d watched them train a few times, but they refused to let me partake until my first shift. I had to admit I was excited to experience it all. Malachi was sure that I’d exhibit some sort of power because of my bloodline and that had me intrigued.“Give me a gun and I’m happy,” I said.“Never thought I’d see the day that we start sporting guns,” Kiran
