I woke up in our bedroom, a little confused as to what happened and Kane was laying next to me with his arm draped over my waist. "What happened?" I asked, trying to sit up. "Take it easy. You used a lot of energy today." Kane said, stopping me from getting up. I could feel worry in my stomach, but it didn't take me long to realize that it was Kane who was worried. Not me. I was feeling everything that he was feeling. "I'm alright. I really am. I just feel a little weak." I said. "The doctor was here. He said that you were physically fine. But after hearing what you did, he's not surprised that you passed out. Last time you used your powers, it took a lot of energy out of you as well. When you attacked Nicholas." "I didn't pass out that time though." I said. "I know. Because he was a vampire. This time you took on a faerie. It's a little different. You needed to use everything that you had." Kane explained. And I nodded in total agreement. I knew what I was doing while I was doi
As I sat on the chair looking from cell to cell, all three prisoners were looking back at me, fear evident on their faces. And as Kane walked down between the cell's behind me, they knew that he wasn't going to be any help to them. He stood back and folded his arms, and let me have my way. "So, your my grandparents and you served your own daughter up to this son of a bitch on a silver platter." I said. "I told you she was evil." Dominic said. And I snapped my fingers at Dominic and forced his voice to disappear, because I wasn't talking to him. I wasn't ready to talk to him. "We needed someone that could control her." "She wasn't out of control. It's not her fault who she fell in love with." I said. "She was having a baby with a vampire." Elijah yelled. "Yeah. And who's fault is that? If you hadn't have had a baby with a faerie then my mother wouldn't have been able to get pregnant to that vampire." I said. And they both looked at each other. "What are you talking about?"
Growing up in a wolf pack is meant to be a great experience. It’s meant to be a community and a sense of pride taken in the pack members. We are taught to respect our Alpha, Beta and Gamma. And they treat everyone in their pack like family. Well, that doesn’t work out for everyone. Sometimes, the one that acts differently in a pack is the Alpha himself. And when pack members try to leave, they are punished for it. Luckily, my mother and I were fortunate enough to be able to escape without being punished. But that did entail us leaving in the middle of the night with only a car full of stuff and avoiding all patrols as we got the hell out of there. We were the ones that the Alpha definitely didn’t want to leave. He was obsessed with us, well with me, and that was all the more reason that we needed to get the hell out of there. The Alpha had ordered the entire pack to keep an eye on us, and he even put patrols on us at all times. But if he thought that was going to stop me, then he
As I looked around at all the warriors that were surrounding us, ready to attack, I knew that I needed to think quickly. “We need sanctuary. My mother is hurt. She needs help.” I said. My mother was laying there unconscious, blood covered the front of her shirt and they knew that I wasn’t lying. I was out of breath and the warriors on the other side of the border shifted back to their human selves so that they could speak to the patrols of this pack. “If you men would please hear me out? These two are prisoners that escaped from our pack and we are here to bring them back.” The warrior said. “I want to talk to your Alpha.” I said, standing up.The warrior across the border, glared at me like he could kill me where I stood. But even he knew that if I came back to his pack harmed, then he would be the one that got hurt. “Do you really expect me to believe that this teenager and her mother are a threat to us?” A man asked, coming through the woods. I turned to look at him. He was onl
It didn’t take long for the Alpha to arrange housing and furniture and everything that we needed since we were technically refugees. And he had me enrolled in school immediately and he also went to see my mother. He had to make sure that she really was a doctor and what I had told him was the truth. Apparently, Alpha Kane was no idiot when it came to Alpha Calvin. He knew about his many mates and he didn’t blame us for wanting to get me out of there. So on my first day of school I stopped at a diner to get some breakfast while my mother rested at home before she started work. Luckily, after seeking medical help she was healing really fast and wanted to start work as soon as possible. But as I sat at the counter in the diner with a coffee and a book, I heard the bell chime as someone else walked in and sat at the counter, a couple of stools down from me. “Hi Asher. The usual?” The waitress asked. “Yes, please.” Asher said. I didn’t look up from my book while he was sitting there wa
As soon as school was finished that day I grabbed all of my things from my locker and Asher was waiting for me out the front of the building. “I am sorry that I did that to you. But I needed you get my point. I don’t need you or anyone else to take it easy on me.” I said. “It’s alright. I’m not sore about it. That’s what we’re there for. And I was stupid for underestimating my opponent.” He said. “I’m glad that you see that.” I said. And he just shook his head. “What are you doing now?” He asked. “Well, we have no food in our house. So, I am going grocery shopping.” I said. “You don’t have a car.” He said. “I know. I’m gonna go to the hospital to get the car.” “Don’t do that. I’ll take you.” “You want to come to the grocery store with me?” I asked, skeptically. “Sure, why not?” He asked. “Alright. If you don’t think it’ll be boring. Because I really do. So, it will be quick.” “Don’t you like shopping?” He asked. “I absolutely hate it. And I only do it when I h
The following morning when I got up at 5am I went for my usual jog around the territory but I was stopped as I was running around behind some houses by someone singing out my name. “Asher.” I said as I slowly stopped. Asher stepped out from the side of his house, looking like he had slept in the yard chair that night. “What the hell are you doing?” He asked. “Jogging. What the hell are you doing?” I asked. “Dad and I got in a fight last night so I slept out here. I didn’t want to see him.” He said. “So, you slept in the yard.” I said. “Yeah. Pretty much.” He said as he slowly got up and walked over to the fence. I just shook my head at him and tried to tame his bed hair. “You shouldn’t have to sleep in the yard when you fight with your father.” I said. “I know. He doesn’t kick me out. I choose to sleep out here. Even he calls me crazy for doing it. And a stubborn teenager.” Asher said. “Well, I have to agree with him on that.” I said. “Do you jog like this every mor
I was a little frozen where I stood in the river but Asher came around in front of me, looking completely relaxed. “We’re just going for a swim Alpha. It’s really hot today.” Asher said. “What have I told you about this Asher? This isn’t a hook up spot for teenagers.” Alpha Kane said. “We weren’t hooking up. I just wanted to show Savannah the river. It’s hot and we decided to go swimming. You can’t punish us for kissing.” Asher said. “Wanna bet. Get out and get dressed. Now.” Alpha Kane demanded. So we both got out of the river and got dressed in front of the Alpha. I looked at Asher with a worried look on my face, but he just shook his head, telling me not to worry about it. “Go home Asher. I will be talking to your father about this. Savannah, you come with me.” Alpha Kane said. “I’ll see you at school tomorrow.” Asher said, holding my hand and I nodded my head. I leaned down and picked up my bag and I followed Alpha Kane. We walked all the way back to the packhouse i
