The Alpha Within Her Chapter 31
LUCIUS Bastian stood tall at the podium. I still can’t peg this guy, but I’m starting to not mind him too much. River Blake is OK. A bit smug, like Bastian, but tolerable. Luke is fucking annoying after I let it slip that I might like the walking headache, but I think as far as friends go, I could do worse. Jayson is fine. Now that I’m mated to Wren, I think I can let the whole dating thing go. Besides, the dude’s a little stressed lately with pup number two on the way. Twins from what I hear. Speaking of twins. Our newest council member, Grey Andrews, is joining the meeting after his dad retired. His twin, Wes, is salty to say the least. Grey is someone I could do without. He has this whole military thing going on and thinks he’s king shit. He’s trying desperately to get me to let him in and I’m not budging. “No!” I growl. “Why not?” Everyone else at this table has been there? I think I should be allowed to see it.” Grey growls. Wren looks at me. “He has a point, Alpha.” I scowl

WREN‘Raven. Don’t let go of my hand. We have to run!’‘Wren, I’m scared! Where’s mama?’‘I don’t know. NOW RUN!’The air fills with screams and death.‘Raven? RAVEN!! RAVEN!! WHERE ARE YOU?’‘RAAVVEENNN!!’I jolt up in bed. My body covered in sweat. My face wet.I scrub a hand down my face. Breathing heavy. I grab the practically empty whisky bottle on my night stand, pop the cap and chug back a shot.This is a typical morning for me. Has been for the last ten years.I have a shower and go to the mirror. I wipe off the condensation revealing my blue eyes, wet jet-black hair. My face void of expression.Do you know what it’s like?To wake up day after day. You go to work. You socialize with people. Walk around acting like you belong there, but you know you don’t.People tell you. You’re part of the family. You’re included. Part of the pack, but you never feel it.You feel the separation. You feel the loneliness.Do you know what it’s like?I do.But…. I wake up. Go to work. Socialize.

WREN“Raven.” I breathe. I’m consumed with grief and guilt.My beautiful baby sister, I lost ten years ago in the storm, was standing right in front of me.Her blue eyes just as gorgeous as my mother’s. Her hair jet black like my father’s. Now I see it. She’s still as beautiful as I remember even though she was only ten when I lost her in a crowd of fleeing people.“Raven….” My breath hitches as I’m overcome by the visions of that day.I start to break down, but I don’t take my eyes off her.“Wren!” She runs to me. She throws her arms around my neck, crying. “I missed you so much.”I can barely touch her. I think this a dream. A mirage. A trick of my mind because I’ve been alone for so long.I raise my shaky arms. Not knowing if I could even trust that what they felt was real.When my hands connect with her back, I lose it. “Oh my God….” I cry out. “Raven...” I hug her so tight as I sob hard.I push her back. Swallowing my shock. “How? How is this possible?” I pull her into me again.

WRENWe talked the whole way to Helena. Raven has grown up so much. She told me how she likes to hunt and she likes helping the women of the pack.I asked her if she had a boyfriend because that’s what sisters do and she confirmed. His name is Dale Hunter. He apparently treats her right and she loves him. I’m happy for her.She asked me the same question. I told her about Jayson and how we were in love for a year. When the Blue Moon showed us we weren’t mates, we fell apart. Jayson couldn’t handle it. He was so sure. I never dated anyone else after that.We talked about my job with the Alliance. I told her all the stories of the events in the last three years. Told her about Torrent, White, and Rennet. I talked about how my friends all found their mates. It was great. Unreal actually. It used to be that finding your fated mate was rare, but when it comes to my friends, they all hit the jackpot and are now riding the fated bond high.I wish I could have the same. Aside from Jayson, the

WRENA tear slips from my unblinking eye.“Lucius.” I choke.He rises to his feet as his face twists into anger. His lips turn to a snarl. “Get out.”I snap out of my shock and swallow. “Lucius, wait….”He steps forward, pointing at the door. “Get Out!” He yelled.I look around the room and back at him. “Lucius, please….” I beg as more tears fall.“GET OUT!!” His growl was dripping with Alpha tone.I turned on my heels and ran. I ran past Raven and Curtis. I ran into the village. Sobbing as I commanded my feet to go as fast as they could.“Wren, wait!” I heard Raven call me, but I didn’t stop.I ran out of the village into the clearing.Crying hard, I tried to outrun the pain. I tried to outrun the heartbreak. I tried to outrun the memories.‘One day, Wren. I’m going to be a world-famous rock star. My concerts will be filled with millions and you’ll have front row seats at every one of them.’‘Really. You’d take me with you?’‘Of course, Wren. I love you.’‘I love you, too.’Sounds of
The Alpha Within Her Chapter 5
LUCIUSStill rattled by seeing Wren after all these years, I headed back to the village to try and get my head back on to what’s first priority. My pack.Now that she’s gone, I won’t have to worry about her again.I hit the clearing edge and I caught a scent. I put my nose to the air. It smelled like bacon?I walked to the clearing and looked around. The moon was high and bright, but I didn’t need its light to see the small campfire at the edge of the territory.I don’t fucking believe it.I ran back to my house, shifted and put some clothes on.“Hey, it’s almost time for the fire.” Curtis yells.“Not now.” I growl as I stride through the village toward the clearing.I jog across it to find a tent has been erected “I thought I told you to leave!” I yelled as I ran up to Wren sitting on a log cooking food on a fire.Without looking at me she says in a monotone tone. “I thought I told you I wasn’t leaving without Raven.”“I’ll carry you out if here if I have to, Wren.” I warn.She turns
The Alpha Within Her Chapter 6
WRENI’ve been camped out here by the village for almost a week now. Still, there’s no sign of Raven. I figured she’d at least come and sit with me. I can only assume Lucius is keeping her in the camp.There’s no way I’m leaving, so it’s just a waiting game at this point.Lucius does seem to be breaking a bit. The other day at the lake showed that. He seemed a tad less aggressive than normal. Don’t think I didn’t notice his arousal either because I did.He also didn’t threaten me in his usual way either. Instead, he just left. I wonder if he’s accepted our standoff for now. It seems like it.As I watch the village from afar, I can see movement. They seem to be in a hurry.I stand and watch as some women and pups hug the men and walk off to a different part of the forest. The men turn back into the village.I’m curious to know what’s going on? Is this some job the women and children can do or is something happening that requires the women and children to leave.I decide to check it out
The Alpha Within Her Chapter 7
LUCIUS“Raven? Raven, get your ass out here now!” I yell as I get close to Wren’s campsite.The panel to the tent zips open and Raven pokes her head out. Her face covered in guilt and fear. She steps out slowly and Wren is right behind her.I grab Ravens arm and pull her to me, pointing a finger in her face. “What did I tell you? You weren’t to come down here. Did I not tell you that?”Wren grabbed my hand. “Get your hands off her! This was not her fault! You have no right to speak to her like that!”I look at Raven. “Get home.” I point to the village.Raven looks at me and Wren and turns, running for the village.“You have some nerve…” I growl at him.“Pack your stuff. You’re coming too.” I cross my arms.It takes me a second. “What?”“You heard me. Pack up. You’re moving to the village.” I speak in an authoritative tone.She pulls attitude. “No. I don’t think I want to be around you.”I looked at her confused. “Wren, pack your shit up and get to the village!”“No, Lu. I won’t” She c
