SYDNEY
"Sydney?" My mother — Lucille — answered the call. She didn't bother to hide the surprise she felt. To be honest, the feeling was mutual. I never expected myself to be phoning her with such a request but desperate times called for desperate measures.
"Yes mother, it is I. Your loving daughter dearest," I could have held off on the sarcasm but what fun would that have been? Plus, it was the sarcasm that kept me from ending the call and changing my mind about this decision altogether.
"Are you calling to check up on me because, if so, you should know that I'm nowhere near your father, brother, or..." Her sentence trailed as if she felt sick to say the next name, "or Grace."
I ignored the way she said mom's name only because I needed Lucille's help now more than ever, "That's not exactly why I'm calling. I know you're still in Dallas but I needed to know if you're still in touch with any a

SYDNEYI walked into the exquisitely designed hotel with Victor's calloused hand in mine. His hand enveloped mine completely, blanketing it in warmth and tingles which created a strange sense of security. I smiled down at our entangled fingers. The little things he did proved he loved me and as time went on, I found it easier to accept that and live with the fact he may never say the words to me.The lobby of the hotel was bathed in gold and different hues of white. The pearl white porcelain tiles that created the floor could have been eaten on. Royal red couches were placed against the walls at equal intervals, in front of which a glass coffee table sat on top of Persian rugs. My father prided himself on his title but at the same time never showed it off. The decor to his multiple hotels screamed royalty but this one in particular was slightly over the top because it carried our pack name. Glass chandeliers hung from the ce

VICTORIt bothered me. I wasn't certain of why it did, but it bothered me. If I couldn't tell a lie from the truth then I would have been better off. I would have had some false sense of hope that Sydney had only been bluffing when she made that deal. But, she wasn't bluffing. Deep down, she had already made up her mind. Her decision was set in stone and her words echoed with the truth; a truth she could not hear. She would do anything for this pack. Anything! Even if it meant killing half of herself in the process and risking her own life. It was for the greater good.Did this pack know how lucky they were to have someone as noble as she heading them?I held her tighter. We arrived home and she instantly drifted off to sleep whereas sleep evaded me. I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. The words she said continuously played on repeat and bothered me each time I heard them. I laid still

QUADEI didn't understand why I felt so betrayed. When I arrived, my main goal was to kill her along with her family. But now, it all changed. I thought I made it clear that night we spent together at the lake. She won. It wasn't my heart or my trust that she won but it was her life. I couldn't kill her. I wouldn't kill her and that went for the rest of her family as well. But now, she chose to kill me. To grant my father something he possibly wanted for a long time. To gift him this favor as long as he gave me the truth. She didn't want to kill me knowing a lie. I wasn't certain if that gave her honor or if that made her a lesser human than I expected her to be.I did not love her. The bond between us was natural for our kind but it was not one of love. To truly love someone, you had to spend enough time with them. You had to get to know them, every dark, tainted bit of their soul, and still love them completely. The love s

SYDNEY"Are you going to tell me where you disappeared to in the middle of the night?" I breathed, trying to keep my pace even. Sylvain decided to join me on my run and I let him in hopes that he would spill what he and Victor had been up to. I had woken up during the early hours of this morning to an empty bed. When I tracked Victor's scent, it led to Sylvain's room which was stark empty."It goes against the bro code, sis. I'm sorry, my lips are sealed," he proved his point by pretending to zip his lips shut, locking it, and throwing the imaginary key over his shoulder."Since when did you two become so close that you're actually willing to keep a secret from me?" I gasped dramatically, jumping over a protruding root from one of the many massive trees in the forest. I decided to run a new path today. The old one reminded me too much of the Alpha considering I walked that path with him the night of my first

SYDNEYWarriors from the Silver Dawn pack arrived early hours this morning. Monica and Lana had helped them get as comfortable as they could. Mom wasn't thrilled about involving her old pack in this. She thought we had enough man power so far and that I didn't need anymore. To be honest, she was right in saying so, but it was also her that said we had strength in numbers and I wanted the numbers to be on my side. Maybe, they would see just how vast my pack was, just how many warriors I could gather in such a short time and flee because they would realize they could not beat us.I twirled my blade between my fingers. Rieka wasn't fond of the sharp piece of silver. It may not have been able to harm her but she thought of the rest of our kind. Silver wasn't something to be played with around werewolves and she felt sympathy for them, a true Queen of our kind.Unlike Rieka, I felt comfortable with the hilt of the

SYDNEYI was six when I promised my dad I would never kill a wolf, not unless that wolf did something unforgivable to me. The promise was easy to make and simple to keep until I turned twenty one and took over the Green Forest pack as Alpha. As soon as word got out that a half breed female with no wolf held the highest pack ranking, everything changed. Many thought of me as weak and thought it would be easy to defeat me and take my pack as their own. Only one, at the time, had the guts and balls to challenge me for my title.He was the Alpha of the Shadow pack. A grizzly man that could strike fear into a person with just one cold, hard look. His features were sharp and rugged, eyes so green they resembled freshly cut grass. He stood tall, taller than Victor or my father and had a body made of what felt like steel. The Alpha was a formidable opponent. He expected me to have assistance from my father or my pack in general but

SYDNEYIt felt as if someone was screaming in my head, yelling as if they were in trouble and desperately needed my help. The sound was pulling me out of the deep sleep I found myself in. It must have been the early hours of the morning or still late at night because it was still dark out when I peeled my eyelids opened."Princess, they're here," someone yelled through the mind link."Sydney, get up sis. The shit show has begun," I heard my brother growl. He hated when someone disturbed his sleep. It made him cranky and turned him into a beast.I jolted up and found Victor stirring awake as well, "Vicky, get up. I need you to help evacuate the pack house. Tell the drivers to take the women and children out of the territory. Make sure they're safe before coming."He hastily got up and pulled on a pair of sweatpants, nodding at my instructions. I ran into the walk-in closet and g

SYDNEYI turned just in time to see a man running straight at me, canines and claws elongated and ready to rip me apart. Tane took about two seconds to react, pouncing on the man and biting his head right off his body. The sight was gruesome, to say the least, but was necessarily done. Too many lives were lost tonight because of this and I had to bring it to an end.I widened my stance, digging my paws into the dirt and growling lowly at the men that leisurely strolled out of the forest. My dad and Xander were close, I could hear their paws hitting the earth with ferocity. We just had to hold these men off until they arrived. To top it off, I wasn't certain who entered the cells and if they were still there or if my prisoners were still alive or escaped."Check on Victor, we will take care of them," Sylvain told me, nodding his big wolf head toward Victor who was slowly losing consciousness.H
