*Maggie*
Ginger blushes as Emal drops a kiss on her cheek before running off after little Al, who is playing soccer in the field across the road. She and Emal may have mated weeks ago, but she still blushes when he shows affection around other people. Which I find amusing, considering she has never been a shy person before. That was always Emal. It’s almost like they have taken on each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
The elephant bond differs from the wolf bond. It’s a chosen bond, which almost makes it seem bigger. No pun intended. I am pretty sure that Emal loved Ginger from the moment he saw her, but being Emal, he lumbers around trying to decide the best options. Not that he was looking for someone better, no.
I think he was looking for someone better FOR Ginger. I guess it takes almost losing someone to realize that you would rather give them everything you have than watch them struggle on their own. So that’s what he did.<
Epilogue *Axel* ** Six Months later** I can hear Maggie laughing from my office, loud and boisterous. Exactly how she has been since we got our pack. She has been deep in the planning stages with Cora as they work on our newest Freakshow. Even though we have pack lands and I am helping Wade with his newest mission concerning omegas, we need a source of income. And we made damn good money with the original Freakshow. Billy and Bea have taken to traveling around looking for exiled, lonely, or abandoned shifters who need a home. We have quickly become the pack of misfits, but that is exactly what makes our pack so much more special than everyone else’s. We don’t want to travel anymore. It’s not something that makes sense when we all want to be near each ot

“Abe!” I call out to my brother who staring at me like I’m some foreign beast. I step forward to reach for him, but he stumbles backward. “Demon!” He shouts “Demon!” “Stop the games, you prick! It’s not funny.” I say, growing annoyed. Abe stands, straightening his shoulders as he elongates his claws. Panic consumes me as I stare at his sharp nails in fear. This is supposed to be a non-lethal sparring session for the Alpha-ship. The winner gets the title, the loser gets the position of Beta. We already know the positions we will take. All we need to do is act the part for the sake of tradition. I glance around, looking at the pack warriors who gape at me in fear. My father, stands proud on a ledge watching, pales when our eyes lock, slowly he turns his back to me. What the hell is happening. I step forard reaching out to him as the sound of flesh tearing rings through my ears before the pain sets in. I scream out in a
Axel The lights in the oversized tent dim, and the murmuring of the crowd falls silent. You can feel the buzz of anticipation. The excitement is nearly contagious. My eyes scan the crowd, pleased with tonight’s turnout. We’ve been here for two weeks promoting this very night, giving snippets of what the show is about. Little insights into the magic beyond the human eye. Illusions are what many call them. Playing on the mysticisms of the folklore surrounding shapeshifters and the world they can’t imagine because science can’t dictate it. Science says we don’t exist. If we did, their human minds wouldn’t be able to wrap around the thought process. So instead we use ‘magic’. A much more logical explanation of why normal people can turn into an elephant, a wolf, or even a tiger at the snap of someone’s fingers. Why is it more logical? Well, because science agrees that strange, unexplained things can’t happen. There is an answer for everything
“Alpha,” Emal says bowing. “Emal, for the millionth time. Just call me Axel, you know I hate formalities.” “Maybe one day I will, Alpha,” he says kindly. “I would prefer it to be sooner rather than later. Now, back to your performance. You mentioned to Billy you wanted to add something to give it a little more flair?” “Yes, I was thinking it would be exciting to have Ginger ride on my trunk,” he says, turning red in the face. I smirk at him. Emal is the biggest draw to our show. Not only is he massive in human form but he is a were-elephant. Not just any elephant either, Emal is a rare albino elephant. Ginger however is a quiet petite redhead gypsy who pretends to be a witch t
*Maggie* “Please!” I sob “No m-m-more. It hurts.” Another shock wave ripples through my body, my teeth clench, and my back arches painfully. Every single part of me aches, every muscle feels as though it is ripping and will never heal again. “Mommy! Daddy! P-p-please.” I cry out. I look around the room frantically and Dr. Malcovic walks closer with a needle. I know what is coming, every day since my parents have left me here has been the same. Shock therapy, then their needle of pain. After, they will leave me in a thin patient gown in a padded room locked away in the darkness, waiting for the beast to take me over. Every day I blubber and sob with physical pain, but they feel no sympathy and why would they? I'm a
*Maggie* The man looks over his shoulder a few times and sighs heavily, noticing I am still on his heels. Before coming to the opening at the end of the woods, he whirls around to face me and I jump at his closeness. A sadness flits through his eyes but morphs into a haughty glare as he looms over me, stepping closer, trying to intimidate me. It’s working, and sadly, it has more to do with his scar than his presence. “Why are you here?” he asks, his eyes boring right through my soul. I gulp. “I have nowhere to go.” “You look like a pretty girl.” he sneers, looking me over. “You must have a boyfriend waiting for you. Or a mommy and daddy wanting to coddle you,” I snort out a laugh, trying to cover the realization that him saying I’m pretty is doing something strange to my insides. “Yeah, mommy and daddy don’t want me anymore,” I say, sounding snotty, but I don’t care. This jerk started
*Axel* It is taking everything in me not to laugh at her reaction. Is it wrong to convince her that werechickens are a thing? Maybe, but it’s entertaining, so I’m not sure I care very much. She is clinging to my arm, looking around like a kid being led through a horror house. I sneak a peek at her scared face and I have to mentally slap myself out of the attraction. She is fucking gorgeous. There is an innocence about her. She brings out the desire to just protect her, even knowing she has been protecting herself all this time. Her blue eyes meet mine, and I grumble and turn away. Maybe if she finds me mean I can get her to keep her distance. The poor girl has got to be fighting this bond, just like I am. Though she has it a little easier if you ask me. How hard is it to rebuff an already hideous man as your mate? I can’t help but wonder what she is feeling. Her destined mate is this beast who is dragging her through a new world s
