Found by the Alpha Awkward
Mercy had stood in the shower for a really long time, not sure why she wanted to keep the water running over her body. It wasn’t as if she felt dirty, but she did feel guilty. She wasn’t sure why she felt that way either. They were two adults. They had been with one another consensually. So why in the world did she feel bad?Mercy got out, dried off, and got dressed. She still had the towel wrapped around her body when her reflection in the mirror caught her attention. Her hair was starting to grow out more and more each day, and she could see her roots. The odd black color was also starting to fade away. She tipped her head forward and pulled on her hair a bit, trying to look more at her real hair. Why had someone tried to hide it? Had that someone been her?She also looked at her body. She was so scrawny. Granted, since she’d gotten here, she’d started to put on a little weight. She wasn’t quite so bony, but she could still see her ribs, and her arms looked a bit too much like chick

He needed to find the other female wolf.Now, more than ever, it was important that he speak to her about Mercy. He needed to know if she could tell him anything about her past. What if Mercy had a husband or children or someone waiting back in that pack for her?If that was the case, he’d just complicated the situation far beyond measure.August waited in his human form for her. It had been several days since he bothered waiting out here for her, and now that he and Mercy had been together, he felt more compelled than ever to do what he could to help her figure out her past.Hours passed by–hours that he could’ve been using serving the needs of his pack. In a way, he knew he was being very selfish. He was still reachable by the mind-link, and from time to time, his pack mates or his Beta would ask him a question, but mostly he was a man in a field doing nothing but waiting, and he felt like a bum doing nothing.But he also knew what he was doing was important. If he had to sit there
Found by the Alpha Telling Mercy
Something was different.The moment that August walked into the house, Mercy could tell that something had changed. The weight in his eyes was unsettling, and when he looked at her, she felt like she needed to sit down.She felt like she needed to melt into the floorboards.“What is it?” she asked. “Did something happen? Is something wrong?”“Nothing is wrong,” his mouth told her, but his eyes still said differently. “But we need to talk.”“Did… something happen?” she asked.August shook his head and came to her where she stood at the kitchen counter. She’d been cooking. Not that it was something she was good at, but she’d been trying. She had to wonder if she’d ever even done it before, but she knew how to read, so she could follow a recipe, or at least she thought she could.“Can you go to the living room, or is there something in the oven?” he asked her.Mercy’s eyes went to the counter. Half of the ingredients for a cake were in a bowl. The oven was preheating. She turned it off “

August sat in his office, staring at his phone, wondering if he should keep his promise to Mercy and not make the calls he had planned on making or go ahead and call her home pack and Great Moon as he had planned. He understood that she said she didn’t care about her past anymore, but he had to wonder if she would ever be truly safe here as long as those other packs were out there wondering what had become of her.Once they found out that she was there, with him, would they come for her? Should he arrange to make some sort of trade for her? Clearly, she was valuable. Her powers must’ve meant something to them. But then, he didn’t want Mercy to think that he was trying to buy her.He didn’t think that Silent Moon would come to her. They had been compensated for her already by Alpha Rider. It was already clear that Alpha Rider intended to come for her eventually. He had to know that she was there, that she was just across the river. The only reason he hadn’t come yet was because he was

Lying in bed next to August was comforting in a way Mercy couldn’t quite put into words, despite the fact that she was unsettled deep within her soul. She knew that she would be until something happened between herself and Alpha Rider. August felt responsible for her like it was his battle to fight for her. But Mercy didn’t feel that way. She knew she’d have to face him herself, and when she did, she’d have to put the matter to rest once and for all.August’s arm was around her waist, and he had her pulled tight against his chest. Even facing away from him, his manly scent was strong, and she was reminded of the ocean, despite the fact that she had no idea if she’d ever actually been there or not. Coming to grips with the fact that she didn’t have to remember what had happened to her before or where she’d come from had given her a sort of freedom she hadn’t expected before, but at moments like this, she wished she knew if the images of the ocean and the beach that filled her mind were
Found by the Alpha Coffee with a Stranger
Aletha didn’t look familiar to Mercy at all. In a way, she was a little relieved when she walked into the cafe to find the woman and didn’t recognize her. Aletha waved her over to her table, greeting her with a smile, and Mercy said hello back, shaking the hand that was offered to her, but the face she was staring at may as well have belonged to someone she’d never met before in her life. Just like every other face she’d seen since she arrived here.“So… where are your kids?” Mercy asked as they both sipped the drinks the waiter brought to them.“Alpha August got them settled in school this morning,” Aletha explained. “It’s different here than it was in the old pack. I don’t have to teach them myself.” Aletha smiled and took a sip of her coffee.Mercy smiled and nodded as if she knew the difference, but she didn’t. She didn’t have kids herself, so she hadn’t really done much to investigate how school worked here, and she had no idea how it had worked at their old pack. “Do they like i

Waiting for an attack wasn’t fun. August would’ve much rather have launched one himself. But he had no reason to do so. Not yet anyway. Not according to pack rules. While August could argue that Rider had committed atrocities against pack members, all August had as proof was the word of a couple of ex-pack members. And one of them had amnesia.On the other hand, not only did Alpha Rider have cause to attack his pack, he was likely to do it at any time. August had already started taking precautions and preparing. He had his Omegas preparing, practicing over time. He also had increased patrols and set up some other lines of defense around the perimeter of the village.August walked around outside and saw that the trainers were taking a group of Omegas through their paces, getting them ready to fight, not just in case Rider attacked but just because it was something all Omegas needed to be able to do. In fact, in August’s pack, even Gammas had to learn how to fight just in case. From the

Walking through the pack, Mercy began to realize that people were recognizing her. She wasn’t sure how she felt about that. At first, it was odd having people she didn’t know greet her by name. But when weeks turned to months, and she began to learn who a few of the people in the village were as well, it became nice to know some of the villagers.“Good morning, Mercy,” Bill, the man who ran the post office said one morning as Mercy went to town to grab some coffee. She found that walking to the coffee shop each morning gave her something to do. Since August still didn’t want her to work, she had to find something to keep herself busy. By now, her hair had grown out, and it was almost all blonde. She’d cut the black off as it got longer, and now it was a little past her shoulders, and only the last few inches were black.“Good morning, Bill,” she called back. “It’s a nice spring day. I bet that will be nice for your delivery routes.”“It will be,” he said. “As long as it doesn’t rain t
