It’s said the most dangerous people are the ones who have nothing left to lose, that welcomed death even. Being angry at the whole fucking world for taking everything from you, leaving you alone to watch the world around you as it carry’s on. Watching the people you once thought were the protectors, when in fact they were to blame for the empty hole that now sits heavy in your chest where once your heart sat.

"I hate mom and dad". Andrei plucked off a leaf. "I don't hate mom and dad." He plucked off another leaf.
A knock sounded on the door of his hospital room which made him frown. He'd told his nurses that he didn't want visitors especially if those said visitors were his parents. His parents who didn't care if he was dying.
The door opened and his doctor Jean Anne Lowan poked her head inside then smiled when she saw him awake.
"Can I come in Your Highness?". She asked.
"Yes." Andrei nodded. He sat up in his bed and dropped the flower he'd been torturing under his pillow. Doctor Lowan was the only person he could tolerate and always wished she was his mother instead of… that other woman. That woman who cared more about her clothing line than her only child.
Jean Anne opened the door wider but didn't step inside as she turned back to look at whoever was outside. Andrei hoped it was a puppy because he was bored as hell in this hospital. He hoped he never had to see inside the four walls of a hospital ever again after this episode.
"Come in Anna. He won't bite." Anne encouraged, chuckling softly.
Andrei's brows furrowed as he wondered who she was talking to but his inner questions were answered when a girl walked into the room looking all shy and very beautiful. He had to catch his breath because if there was another word for beautiful; it should be used for her.
"Better company than a puppy." Andrei thought.
She was dressed in a white long sleeved shirt and blue overalls and she had on matching sandals. She wore black rimmed glasses and had her hair braided in pigtails.
Jean Anne closed the door and propelled Anna forward but she stopped a few feet from the bed.
"Anna, I want you to meet Prince Andrei Sebastiani...Andrei meet my daughter Jean Anna." Anne said.
"Hi." She waved shyly.
"Hi." He breathed. He stared at her beautiful face and was lost in her eyes that was shielded by her black rimmed glasses.
He knew then that he'd found the one even though he was only ten.
"I'll leave you two to talk. I'll be in my office if you need me Anna." Anne told her.
"Okay." She nodded and waved as her mother exited the room.
Anna stared at the closed door for a minute before she turned to smile shyly at Andrei.
"Won't you sit down?". Andrei asked. "I won't bite." He grinned.
Anna rolled her eyes and took a seat. "Sure." She drawled. "How are you feeling?".
"She talks." He chuckled. "I'm fine. Thanks for asking. Which school do you attend?".
"There's only one school in Mercia and that's Imperial Heights." She answered.
"Really? I've never seen you in school." He said. He would have been all over her if he'd seen her once in school.
"I'm not royalty." She shrugged. "I have never seen you either."
"Do you have a boyfriend?". He sent her a lopsided grin.
Anna let out a shocked gasp. "How dare you? I'm ten!". She hit him.
Andrei laughed. "Are you hitting a patient?".
"You're a crazy patient." She gave him the stink eye.
"I like you four eyes." He chuckled.
"Not the nickname." She groaned.
"That's what I'll call you from now on." He told her.
"Then I'll call you the boy with storm clouds in his eyes." She shot back.

Seven years later
“Jean Anna!.” Her best friend Lucy Anderson called from outside impatiently. “Hurry or we’ll be late!”.
“Coming! Can’t find my glasses!”. Anna called back.
“Really?.” Lucy sighed and rolled her eyes. “ If we miss the last bus, I’ll never forgive you Anna!”.
Close to five minutes later Jean Anna rushed out of the house and locked the front door then they both left for school.
“This is a new year Anna.” Lucy reminded her. “We can’t afford to be late this term.”
“I woke up late. Sorry.” Jean Anna apologized. I promise there won’t be a next time.”
“That’s fine. So did you find your glasses?”.
“Yes”. Jean nodded. “And my math note too.”
Lucy laughed. “New year, new class but we still have to endure Mr Francis’s classes.”
“Can’t wait for high school to be over.” Jean sighed.
“Me too.”
They walked quickly to the bus stop to catch the next bus going towards their school and they were able to get on board then they marched to the back and slumped down with a relieved sigh.
“That was so close.” Lucy breathed. “I don’t think I have it in me to walk one mile to school this morning. It’s Monday for Pete’s sake.”
“We’d have been terribly late. Thank goodness.” She wiped her sweaty brows.
“Ah! did you hear the news?”. Lucy asked excitedly.
“What news?”.
“Prince Andrei and his girlfriend Princess Serafina broke up on Saturday”. Lucy said. “For good this time.”
“Really? Are you serious?”. Anna’s eyes widened.
“It was posted on the school’s news website.”
“Wow.” Jean Anna said. “What broke their camel’s back this time?”.
“You know Andrei’s cousin had his birthday last Saturday right?”.
“Yes. It was the talk of the town.” Anna said.
“Well... Prince Andrei caught her with his cousin burning up the sheets in Damien’s room.” Lucy whispered.
Jean gasped. “Are you serious?!”. She crossed herself. “Burning up the sheets as in...that?”.
Lucy nodded vehemently.
“Oh my God he must have been devastated.” Anna said.
“Puhleeze!.” Lucy snorted. “I heard he was happy as a kid on his birthday.”
“What? I thought he liked her?”. Anna frowned.
“Course not.” Lucy made a face. “I wouldn’t date her if I were a boy. He only wanted to get her pants. I even heard that he was found with another girl five minutes later.”
“Well I think he deserved it.” Jean looked disgusted. “I only pity the girl who’d fall into his trap next time.”
“Hmmn...but he really spent on her , you know.” Lucy said.
“I don’t care if he took her to see God. That was plain nasty. He only wanted her for her body.” She paused, looking thoughtful. “You know what?”.
“What?”.
“I’m just glad the Royals have a different building of their own.” Anna said. “I don’t think I can mix with people like them”.
“ I could because they’re royals but… they’re a mess so I don’t think I will… especially Prince Andrei. He sleeps with anything with a skirt on.”
Lucy laughed.
“What? Is it not true?”. Anna frowned.
“Sleeps with anything with a skirt on? He’s not slept with you.” Lucy teased.
“God forbid.” Anna frowned. “ I won’t even let him touch my hand.”
Lucy shook her head. “It seems you’ve forgotten how, Prince Andrei looks like, right?”.
“I’ve never seen him up close.” Anna said. “ And I don’t want to.”
They got to school and got off the bus and as they walked into the school premises, two expensive black cars drove into the school and you didn’t have to see the license plates to know that the king of IHHS has arrived.
“There he is.” Lucy pointed excitedly as he alighted from one of the cars.
“Let’s just go.” Anna said and walked away.
“You really don’t want to see his face? I want to.” Lucy pouted.
“It’s a new day Lucianne.” Anna said through gritted teeth. “Let’s go and get our class schedules please?”.
“Fine fine” Lucy gave up. “Let’s go.”
Lucy still tried to see Prince Andrei but couldn’t even get a glimpse because she was short and students had gathered around him already so she couldn’t see anything just the back of his head as he walked away and even his bodyguards shielded him too.
“Sucks.” Lucy muttered.
“Get over it.” Anna told her.
Clayton BlackridgeI can feel her emotions through the bond, I can feel her body trembling as I hold her, half supporting her half needing contact. She tells her people to stand, one by one they look between each other and back at us. Confusion filling the eyes of the older wolves and hope filling the younger members of this pack. Bellona steps forward, she looks around at Enyo and my little Mate nods to her. The older female turns back to her people and holds her hands up.“I know I have been gone for many days, but on my journey I found what I have been searching for. Please welcome our Alpha Enyo and her Mate Alpha Clayton” There is a collective gasp as everyone looks between each other confused and excitement starts to seep into the air along with nerves. “You, got this little wolf this is your moment, these are your people” I say quietly to her, she gives me one nod then takes my hand and steps forward pulling me with her. Her steps are slow but firm as she makes her way to the
Enyo BurnsideThe calm, welcoming atmosphere is incredible. The Alpha family is big and still growing, Carmon the Luna is due her new cub in the next week or so, they already have four boys and are hoping for a girl. This is my first time in a Bear pack and I am pleasantly surprised by how it’s run, but honestly I think that it's down to Tatun and Carmon.Clayton and Tatum have been discussing the treaty that Oak Creek had with Opal Moon before my so-called Grandfather took over. He explained that Opal Moon was always run by the female Alpha. Hadeon killed my Grandmother and took over and when my mother found out and sent me away he killed her.I hate how everyone looks at me at the mention of these people as if this should affect me, but honestly they are just names to me. My parents were Verity and Marcus, my guardians, the people who brought me up showed me how to ride a bike and how to be the best warrior possible. I don’t voice this but I know Clay can feel how I am feeling.Afte
Enyo BurnsideThe feel of warm kisses that leave a fire in their wake is what wakes me from a dreamless sleep. A soft moan leaves me, I feel Clay chuckle against my shoulder. Placing one last kiss he moves me slightly, waking me further. “Time to get up, sleepy head” Claytons velvety voice is like a balm to my soul. I hear a soft chuckle and my eyes fly open, I had forgotten we weren’t alone.“Good morning, Alpha Enyo” Bellona says as she watches us looking amused. “Good morning, sorry for a moment I forgot where we were” I say as a little heat rises up my neck and face. “How did you sleep, Bellona?” I ask as I stand and stretch accepting the bottle of water my handsome mate hands me.“I did, thank you, it was the first proper sleep in days” Bellona tells me as she washes her face in the river. “It’s about a half day's run if we don’t run into any rogues” Bellona says with her hands on her hips looking deep in thought. I glance at Clayton, he just shrugs his shoulders.Twenty minute
Enyo BurnsideI study the female who resembles a cavewoman from one of the books we read in school. Her long grey hair looks unwashed and unbrushed, her skin shows signs of someone who has been in the sun far too long. It’s her sharp eyes that make me curious to know her story especially as she seems familiar.I glance at Clayton when she starts to chant four words. I have no idea what they are. ‘That is the language of the old Gods, I am sure the last word is return or returned’ Clays deep voice comes over a mind-link I never knew we had, making me jump in surprise, he just smirks at me. “Please stand, I think we need to speak” She tells the female who nods. Her eyes sparkle as she looks at me, reaching her dirty hand up. She tries to touch my face but I step back so she can’t reach me. I may feel no malice from her but I am not stupid enough to allow an unfamiliar person to touch me.Hurt flashes across her face before she puts her hands by her side. She narrows her eyes as her eye
Clayton BlackridgeIt’s been strangely quiet, worryingly almost. It has been a week since the meeting at the coffee shop, we have all been on edge waiting for something, anything to happen. The fact nothing has come back to us from any of our trackers or ears on the ground has us preparing for what we know is most definitely to come.Then two nights ago Talia turned up declaring she had found her Mate, but without a mate mark something Trent took great pleasure in pointing out earning himself a growl. It was Talia’s strange behavior towards Enyo that had us all on alert and her sympathy story of how she was unsure if this mate was for her that made no sense.I watched my Luna listen sceptically as Talia dramatically apologises to her for her actions and asks forgiveness. Both Trent and I don’t buy it for one minute, but this is my little wolf’s choice. Enyo nodded and told her she would think about it, Talia thanked her and left but it never escaped any of our notice, the sly smirk as
Enyo Burnside We have been sitting in this coffee house in the human city for almost thirty minutes waiting on Dylan and his father. Clayton, Trent and I look so out of place, actuall scrap that they two look out of place; I can’t help smiling at them. Wolf men are incredibly larger and sexier than human, and human females definitely notice judging by the looks these two are getting.I had just ordered another coffee from the waitress who completely ignored me to talk to my Mate, until he snapped at her. Now she won't look at him, I kind of felt sorry for her as she scurrys away. The Little annoying bell above the door goes letting everyone know someone has just entered, their disgusting scent hits me and my wolf starts to growl in my head.I don’t even turn, Trent sits up straight over from us as Clayton takes my hand under the table. Clayton’s aura is menacing and swirling as Dylan stands staring at me, I don’t even pay him any notice as the older Alpha now sits in the seat Trent h
