Return of the Solar Lycan

My name is Dakota Lorenzo, and I was born into the Mountain Top Pack, but I am not a member of it; to them, I had an unknown bloodline, as I did not know who my father was, and that made me a rogue. They had wanted me expelled, to be left to die across their border; a helpless newborn was an easy target for any predator, but the Alpha did not have it in him to abandon a tiny, premature baby to the fates. He chose to let me live because my mother was the Pack Healer, and she made it clear that if he forced her to choose between his Pack and her newborn daughter, then she would walk away. A Pack cannot function properly without its Healer. The Mountain Top Pack needed my mother more than she needed them, so he backed down and allowed me to stay under the Pack's protection as long as my mother did not let caring for me interfere with her duties to the Pack as its Healer. I was an unwanted complication in her life, and she was warned to keep me away from the Pack, which was easy for her to

When you have been the subject of constant physical and mental abuse for fourteen years, you start to believe the words coming out of their mouths. My self-esteem was nonexistent, and I had been told I was dirty, ugly and useless so often it was all I knew. I longed for the physical contact of another person; no one had touched me since I was four years old, apart from when they raised their hands to beat me. I would watch from under my lashes as parents hugged their children, men and women cuddling, even friends greeting each other. I wanted to be held like that so much, have someone, anyone, give me a little affection; I barely remembered my Mama, she was just a loving shadow from my past. All I had to hold on to was that I had survived, in two short months, I would be eighteen, and I would be able to take control of my life.I stared out of the tiny window in my bedroom, watching the raindrops race each other down the broken pane of glass; they appeared to be matching the tears runn

I had to get away from him. I knew what he wanted to do to me. Ever since I had turned sixteen, his way of touching me had changed; he always tried to get me alone so he could spank me, and I hated it. He would make me bend over his knee and pull down my pants so he could spank my naked ass. I was not stupid. I felt his cock growing hard beneath my belly as he hit my bare cheeks until they were a deep, dark red.I was the Alpha's slave, so Reuben and his best friends, Reynolds' two sons, had free access to me. If Reuben got his way, and there was no reason why the Alpha would deny him, I would never break free of this Pack. Making me his sex slave meant I would be forced to remain locked in his room until he tired of using my body for his own personal pleasure. I wanted to return to my room and sink into a piping hot bath, but my chores were not finished. Walking barefoot over the freezing marble tiled floor into the kitchen, I quickly added wood to the fire in the huge fireplace so

All I had to do was get through the next few weeks, keep on top of my chores and hide in my room until it was my time to face Alpha Reynolds. He had not hidden anything from me, quite the opposite, he had walked into the dining room I was cleaning and dragged me up in front of the Patrollers, who congregated there while waiting to start or end their shifts. The place was packed, as word had got around of what the Alpha intended to do. As usual, I was caught completely off guard when he grabbed my braid and hauled me to my feet, shaking me so hard my teeth rattled. Holding me up in front of his Pack he scowled at me, then turned to them.'You all know that this lazy, good-for-nothing slave has not shifted yet. In a few weeks, when we hold the Festival of Age, I am going to rectify that.'He went on to explain in great detail exactly what force shifting entailed. He sneered as he pointed out that I really had no one but myself to blame for this situation; if I had been 'normal' like the

The huge black Wolf lifted his head and opened his nostrils, there was that scent again, it was driving him insane, a sultry mixture of tangy citrus, sweet summer rain, and innocence, along with a deep seated fear and hatred. Midnight, Alpha of the Blue Valley Pack, let out a low, deep growl of anger, he caught the scent again, and now he could smell a profound sadness and sense of loss,'What the fuck was going on here?'I thought, turning my head towards the scent and beginning to track it seriously, something had brought me to the Mountain Top Pack's land, and the more I caught this scent, the more I knew it had something to do with the draw I had felt.Moving like a shadow, I mind-linked my Pack Members who were patrolling the area, keeping their senses alert for the Mountain Top Patrollers.'I have to go deeper into their territory, stay alert. Let me know if you see or hear anything.'I trotted toward the scent, keeping hidden, moving with the grace of the Apex predator I was. S
