*Dahlia POV*When I got to ShadowFen, it was very late. I had meant to get here earlier, but I got called into a business meeting with one of the pack elders. The topic was my dad, and his newest girlfriend, Josephine.Elder Matthews said he wanted to speak with me and each of my brothers before things got out of control. He felt that me and my brothers could handle the situation better than the elders, because if they had to deal with it, they would strip my dad of his title and the pack would no longer be run by our family. Not unless everyone voted my brother in as Alpha, because it would no longer be his birthright. I figured Draven would be in his office, because he burns the candle at both ends at all times. He rarely sleeps because according to him, there is always work to be done. I knocked lightly on his door, but I could tell by the lack of light coming from under the door that he wasn’t there. He wasn’t in his room either. So, I called him.“Draven? Where are you? I’ve be
*Draven POV*I don’t know if it was the right thing to do in inviting her to go with me, but it felt like it was. If she accepted, I knew I had to get her aunt’s permission to take her from school grounds, and that was going to be a task in itself.After I asked, and even mentioned throwing her a birthday party, her face dropped. I couldn’t tell if she was unhappy about me asking, or if she thought something else.“Did I say something wrong?” I asked. She smiled softly and shook her head. She took a drink of her soda, and then told me how she was feeling.“No, no, you didn’t say anything wrong at all. It’s just, it’s just I know Katherine will say no. Anything to keep me from being happy, she will do it. I can’t wait until I’m from under her control,” she replied.I had a feeling it was either how it would appear to the other students, or the aunt. The aunt it is.“Let me take care of your aunt. I will just tell her that since you have signed up as my assistant to earn extra credits, t
*Sage POV*“Wake up little dove,” a voice called out to me. Who did this voice belong to? I was about to find out.“Who said that?” I asked. My eyes were closed, but I could hear things going on in whatever room I was in. However, it didn’t feel like the voice was coming from the room itself.“Don’t be afraid. I am a part of you that you have been expecting. I am your wolf, Storm. I am with you now, and will be with you always. You need to wake up, there are people worried about you. One person in particular. Stay close to him. He will protect you always,” she said.Him? Who could she be talking about? I haven’t really interacted with many of the boys since coming to ShadowFen, and the only two that I have been around a lot were Draven and Gavin. Could it be one of them?I began to open my eyes, and once they began to focus, I winced at the bright lights.Once I was able to focus,my eyes met the most gorgeous amber colored eyes. The ones I have looked forward to seeing every day since
*Draven POV*I have been summoned home for an emergency pack meeting with the elders. When I spoke to Elder Matthews, he said his concern about my father’s wellbeing had reached a higher rate of concern, and it was urgent that the elder panel spoke with me. So, this weekend, I’m going home to take care of this.“I won’t be in school on Friday, so you don’t have to come and help with anything. Just enjoy your free period in the library or somewhere on the grounds you like to hang out. I’ll let security know not to bother you,” I told Sage. She looked disappointed, and I wondered if she was starting to catch on to what we were to one another. Her birthday was in just a week's time, so her wolf should be starting to wake up inside her. “Oh, ok. Taking a little vaca are you?” she teased. I thought it was cute that she was trying to get information out of me without directly asking.“No, nothing like that. I wait for school breaks for that sort of thing. I told you this was my last year a
*Sage POV*The next several classes went pretty smoothly. That was until some girls saw Headmaster Draven speaking to me in the hallway. He had only stopped me to give me a change of location to help him, and apparently they overheard our conversation. “Moving kind of fast there aren’t you, Thorne? Finally in a school with boys, and you just can’t wait to get in one of their pants? Kind of bold of you to go for the headmaster, he is kind of hot though. Can’t say I blame you,” Remi taunted as she nearly knocked me over by nudging me with her shoulder.Remi was one of the girls transferred with me from Hardwick, and she bullied me pretty fiercely there, and it seems that it’s going to carry over to ShadowFen or so she thinks.“Remi, get a life. I’m not trying to get into the headmaster’s pants. No matter how hot he is. I’m not like you. I am waiting for my mate, not just jumping in bed with anyone who’s interested. So, back off, or I’ll put you on your ass again,” I threatened. The l
*Sage POV*Last night I had the strangest dream. I don’t know if it was because I was in a strange place, or if I was just completely exhausted from the day's events. I was wandering the school grounds trying to get familiar with the place, and I came face to face with the most gorgeous silver wolf I had ever seen. No matter how close I came to him, he would back away. I could tell he wasn’t afraid of me, but it was like he was keeping his distance for a reason. I sat in the grass, and he sat with me. And I started to talk to him like he was someone I had known all my life. I poured my heart out to the silver wolf, and released emotions I had been holding in for so long. “I shouldn’t be burdening you with my sadness. A beautiful creature such as yourself should be with others who don’t have such anguish living inside them. Thank you for listening though, it’s been a long time since I felt I could release,” I half smiled. The silver wolf, who had kept his distance this whole time,
