Samantha's Pov My wolf was itching for a run and I was this close to letting her out. I still had to wait two more days.The full moon was in two days.The pack was restless already. Maybe I should start a pack run? They don't know I'm going to become Alpha and I'm not sure if they'll run with me.They might when they see Killain and a few others with me, I'll just have to wait and see.I sighed and fell on my bed. I miss Luca terribly. There was nothing with me that smelt like him and I hated it. If I sneak into his pack to see him, will Tyler turn a blind eye and allow me?No. I have to finish this first.My door opened, “Killain did you—”“Samantha,” Celine sobbed and I sat up on high alert.“What's wrong?” There was no visible bruise on her body and she didn't smell like blood. I hugged her and led her to the bed.“I don't know!” She cried. “Something is going on but I don't know what it is or what is causing it.”I poured a cup of water and pressed it into her hands, rubbing soo
Samantha's Pov After hearing what was going on from Bryon some moments ago, my heart raced and I was filled with nerves.Was I ready?Can I do this?But, standing in front of them with their shocked and annoyed glares boring into my skin, I realize that there's nothing to be afraid of.“How dare you come in here uninvited?” Ricky asked, the only thing keeping him from shouting was killain's presence. Father or not, disrespect of the alpha in the presence of others wasn't condone.“I am just exercising the rights given to me from birth Rick.”He snorted, “you will leave this place at one you scentless thing.”I made my way across the room and gently grabbed his throat in an instant.“What…” he blinked, confused by my actions. The others were in a similar state behind me.Smiling, I applied just enough pressure to turn his face red.“And you will speak only when you are addressed.” A little additional pressure emphasized my point and he choked out a response.“Good boy,” I stepped back
Killian's Pov I took one last look at the papers on my desk and sighed. It's funny how I felt like I was going to prove myself to my father and the council all over again.“Bryon,” I called.“Yes Alpha.” “Go to Samantha, don't let her know that I'm with the council. If I haven't returned in thirty minutes, you can tell her then.”“Yes Alpha,” he nodded and left.I hoped she was ready. If things don't go as I plan, she'll have to prove herself to them today.I left my office, heading to the solitary building that stood opposite my office. “Alpha,” they greeted as one when I entered, their backs bent and eyes lowered to the floor.“Greetings council.”I will never understand why they kept the interior of the building frozen in the past. There were no chairs, wooden or not, just blankets and hand woven mats covering the floor with cushions to sit on.The two windows were always covered with curtains to prevent people from looking in, somehow the room was still airy. Once in the very d
Luca's Pov “That will mean that the soil is still good and will be ready for planting at the end of the season?” I asked, going through the papers in front of me.“Yes Alpha…”A firm knock on my door interrupted him. Tyler remained impassive as he opened the door and stared at one of my guards.“I'm sorry for interrupting Alpha, Beta,” the guard said. “There's something urgent that needs your attention.”I looked at the man before me, “thank you Sean for the reports concerning the fields. You go enjoy the rest of your night.”“Thank you Alpha.” He gave a small bow and walked out of the room.Tyler nodded to the guard. There was some shuffling sound before a woman stood in the doorway of my office. The sack covering her head was removed revealing an unexpected familiar face that had a displeased frown.“I told you that I was here to see the Alpha and this is how you treat me?” She glared at the guard.“Alpha,” the guard said, without even looking in her direction. “We found her wander
Samantha's Pov Stars glittered like diamonds scattered in the dark clear sky. The moon hid behind some clouds casting a grayish hue onto the pack.I took in a deep breath of clean cold air and exhaled with a smile.“Sam!” I turned to see Celine running up to me. We had become fast friends over the past few weeks.“What's wrong? Why are you running?”“Nothing. Stop worrying,” she beamed at me. “You look really stunning, like a goddess.”I laughed, “thank you. You look beautiful, did you run all this way to tell me that?”“No. I was going to help with your hair but you already have that covered.”“Thank you.” I tightened my coat around my body when after a particularly cold wind. “How are the kids?”“Very happy to spend time with their grandmother. They almost chased me out of the house,” she laughed, resting her hand in the crook of my elbow as we walked towards the hall.“Everyone is excited tonight.”“It's to be expected, the harvest this time around is very impressive. Everyone is
Samantha's Pov “Is that why it's been hard to choose between the both of them?”“I believe so,” he gave me a soft smile and pushed another cookie into my hand.“I still don't understand something. The bond that I feel for both of them, there's no one that feels weaker. If there was, I would have chosen one since. Why is that?”“Darling, most people don't get to ever find their true mate ordained by the goddess. Our all knowing goddess realized that this could happen, so the superficial mark or bond was made. The only people that can actually tell the difference in intensity between the two are those that were either mated to their true mate and lost them, they fell in love with someone else or people that were rejected by their true mate,” he sipped some of his tea when he stopped.This is the most I've heard him say in a stretch. That would mean that Killain didn't reject me and even though Luca walked away, he still loves me.I groaned internally, I'm supposed to choose one not to
