My eyes widened in disbelief. "Alpha Ryan!" I yelled through the mind link. My chest rose and fell in shock. I knelt before her lifeless body, "Ariel?" I called in a panic, not knowing what to do.
'To the bathroom now!' I cried again when there was no response from him.I tried to figure out what could have done this to her. There was a scent around her but I couldn't place what it was, it didn't smell like a wolf, human or even a hound this time.I went outside the stall to check for Alpha Ryan to see if I'd spot him since he wasn't responding to any of my calls.'Alpha Ryan, there's a dead wolf here.' I called again in panic.I soon saw him heading towards the bathroom, pushing through the multiples of people. He came to my side, panting and cupped my cheeks, "are you okay?"I nodded fast in fear. He left my side to inspect the body, "keep people away from coming in.""Okay." I said in affirmation. This had to be a dreThere were immediate mumbling sounds around us. Tim had not joined us down here because he obviously wasn't a member of the pack."What are you saying?" The Alpha's angry eyes burned my skin as he inched closer to me."Don't look at me like I'm responsible for the death of Ariel." I snapped back. It hurt my soul to say that because in a way, I felt that I was responsible but he didn't have to lay his anger on me, I was already equally stressed. "Tim said we were here and referred to someone as alpha. Maybe he's not human, he's only an undercover wolf." I continued to say."You're so stupid sometimes Nadeline." Alpha Ryan shook his head at me, "my goodness, he was talking to me." His voice was in a whisper and I was grateful for that.'See, I told you to talk to him in private you moron.' Aela scolded in my head."This meeting is dismissed, training starts by 5 a.m tomorrow, anyone caught lacking would be in trouble." Alpha Ryan said and f
I let go of her hand, causing it to drop by her side and she panted heavily, brushing strands of hair off her face when alpha Ryan announced, "alright take turns resting, the next round, you switch roles."Doe turned to leave when I stopped her by holding her shoulder, "what did you mean by he got the wrong wolf?"She slapped my arms off and ignored me, walking away from sight."Okay don't panic." I reassured myself. "Should we tell the alpha?" I confided in Aela.'You know what happened the last time you pointed fingers.' She said."That was definitely a slip of tongue from Doe, she certainly meant every bit of what she said. She must have hired someone to kill me but they got Ariel instead, oh my goddess." I tried not to visibly express how worried that made me feel."Nadeline." Alpha Ryan's voice called from behind me and I flinched out o
My hands and feet were tied, there was a tape around my mouth, and a rag was tied over the tape. The room was dark and I was laying on my side. 'Where are we?' Aela didn't seem very panicked.'So now you say something.' I rolled my eyes.'I was talking to you the whole time! He must have used some sort of mind blockers because you weren't listening to me in any way.' She retorted.'Where on earth are we?' I couldn't get to my feet because I was placed on the floor and so I really was stuck. 'try to shift, see if that will break these bonds.' Aela advised.'I can't seem to shift.' I told her in a panicked tone.'This is really bad.' 'You tell me about it, I can't even use the mind link, it's gone.' I shook my head in disbelief.There were footsteps in the room and I co
gasped aloud, and immediately tried to comport myself when the man in front of me frowned at me, "what?" He must have sensed my change of behaviour."Nothing." I shook my head fast. His eyes wandered over me suspiciously and he began to move even closer to me. I took steps away from me, my chest tightening when that didn't stop him and he kept closing the distance between us.'Yes Alpha.' I called back to Ryan but the link seemed to be gone again. 'Alpha? Can you hear me Alpha?'"What is it?" The alpha of this territory jerked me out of my head and I tried to find the best distraction around."I will eat the food." I said in assurance, "but you're going to have to leave, I want to eat in the privacy of the room." I glared at him. I was filled with disgust at how they could have shifted into the Alpha like that. He stood still, a frown still on his face that lacked emotions of any kind. "What? If you have no decency to have brought me here, at leas
As soon as we caught up with each other, I shifted into his arms, hugging him tighter than ever and forgetting at that moment about all the wolves that were charging towards us. The embrace was tight and Alpha Ryan hugged my head against his chest with my arms around his neck.He soon yanked me away from the hug and pulled me backwards so I was standing directly beside him.He stood firm as the wolves approached us, with loud howls and growls. Like me, sensing the presence of an alpha, some of the wolves naturally cowered back.I held on to his long brown sack shirt and soon there were ten wolves standing in front of him. The big white one shifted into the Alpha of the starlight pack and with a grin on his face, He said, "I thought you would never show up.""You crossed the line by attacking one of mine, this is a declaration of war Xander, and you know it." Alpha Ryan clenched his fists, "so that's what I'm going to do to you."Alpha Rya
Aela was whimpering, something was happening to my wolf. She let out an even loud howl as the rain began to pour aggressively.Aela grew in size and her fur changed from gray to white. The moon goddess had made my wolf a Luna.Alpha Ryan shifted and his wolf bopped my nose. Both wolves stayed that way for a while, sniffing each other and rubbing their necks. I couldn't believe it, I was mated for life to the alpha.We didn't care for the rain as it soaked our fur, we stayed like that for hours until it was night time and we had to sleep.Shifting, I held onto his hand. The torrential downpour had subsided to nothing but drizzles by now."We need to find shelter." Alpha Ryan held my hand and led me through the forest."I don't think we might find any here Alpha ." I sighed, the reality of nighttime coming to me now. We needed a place to sleep and I needed rest after what I'd been through at the starlight pack. "How were you e
My eyes met the Alpha's as my chest rose and fell while the Gaku continued to wrap around my ankle, and surprisingly Alpha Ryan didn't seem bothered at all. He held the same expressionless face as always.As he leaned towards it, I pushed him aside and added with a loud whisper, "Have you lost your mind? Don't trigger it." I panicked as the glowing green snake hissed."Just trust me." His voice came out soft and comforting. I hesitated, staring directly into his eyes for a moment before nodding fast.I closed my eyes and held my breath. I wasn't planning on dying tonight or anytime soon for that moment. Not when I was just made Luna. I felt it loosen around my ankle and then it was gone. I opened my eyes sharply to meet Alpha Ryan's hand pinned around its neck. Without any form of pity, he ripped the head from its body and tossed the separate parts away from us."How did I not smell that earlier?" I sighed in relief, "that was so brave y
We all turned to look at Jenna while Doe held her face in shock, not believing that she had just been hit across the face by her best friend."Fucking learn to respect the alpha and decisions." She said through gritted teeth before turning to look at the confused crowd of wolves, "you all heard the alpha, fucking get packing!" She informed us.I knew a lot of people resented me at the moment, knowing it was my fault that the alpha had left the pack in the first place but Jenna coming to my aid was everything. She met my eyes and gave me a small nod as she took her exit to get packing.Alpha Ryan's cold eyes met mine and they stayed like that until Beta Devin tapped his shoulders and both men left the meeting ground.I didn't want to bump into any of the pack members so I hurried to the Alpha's room, where I could stay hidden until all of this was over."I hope you're happy now that you've taken my son's life!" A pack member yelled at me as I hastened my steps down the hallway, I kept m
