LOGINAmber is the daughter of a bête, but she's different from other wolfs. Her older brother is next in line to be bête, and as strict as her father is. Only her mother and best friend understand her. At the age 17 she's supposed to become more serious and put childish things behind her, but all she really wants to do is run free and enjoy her teenage life before she becomes an adult. So one day after getting so angry with being different and people yelling and fussing at her to follow rules, she goes for a run to clear her head and get some peace and quiet, but what she doesn't know is there's a surprise that waits for her there, and this surprise she just might like.
View MoreIf there's one thing my wolf and I agree on more than anything, it's how much I hate rules.
You see, my name is Amber, and I'm the daughter of a bête in the Grey Wolf Pack.
My dad is pretty strict, he likes people to follow the rules and the orders they are given without question. My older brother John is just like him, and soon he will be the next bête.
My mother and I, well, were a different story. My mother is sweet and kind and will do what she has to, to help keep us and this pack safe.
As for me, I don't like rules. It makes me feel like I'm going to blow at any second. I'm 17 years old, and my dad wants me to act all super grown up, strong and fearless.
I just want to be free to make my own choices and do what I want, and my wolf agrees. She gets angry all the time when we're yelled at in front of large groups of wolves or my friends for getting distracted and forgetting to follow a rule or order.
I'm very different, but I don't care. To me, it makes me feel unique at times.
Tonight there will be a party held for another pack and my packs at our house, and my dad wants me to go and act all grown up. I will try my best to act grown up.
Right now, I'm getting my clothes set out for the party with my best friend ever. Tasha.
She had always been there for me, when we were in school, or anywhere. She was with me and stood up for me. We've been friends since we were little kids.
" What do you think about this dress?" I ask, holding up a navy blue dress that goes down a little way past my knees.
Tasha looks and gasps. " Oh my gosh, Amber, that would look stunning on you. Oh, oh and use these shoes," she says, showing me a pair of matching shoes.
I smiled and nodded. She searched and searched till she finally found her dress. She got a red dress that went down to just above her knees, with a v-neck and short straps, plus shoes to match. " Amber, I love this dress. It's amazing!!" She cried. I nod in agreement.
I chuckled. It was now three hours till we had to leave for the packed house for the party. So we decided to get ready now. " Race you there," I say.
I then ran into the bathroom first and locked the door. I was laughing as I took a quick shower with Tasha yelling and banging on the door. " NOT FAIR AMBER, YOU GOT A HEAD START!!" She yelled. Soon enough though, she stopped and waited for me to get out.
A few moments later, I slipped out of the shower, dried off and slipped on the dress, I then put on the shoes and let my hair air dry. It was dark brown and naturally curly, and went to my mid back.
I quickly did my make-up and stepped towards the door to open it. The second the door was opened, I was facing an angry Tasha.
I smiled. " Don't worry, it's your turn now," I said, grinning.
She rolled her eyes at me, slipped by me into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
I went to the body mirror my mother gave me and checked on how I looked. The dress I wore fit my body perfectly. It was one of my favorite dresses.
Soon Tasha came out, and it was now two hours till we had to leave, so we went downstairs and sat on the couch to watch some TV to pass the time.
We were watching Person of Interest till my dad walked through the front door.
" Amber, Tasha. Are you both ready?" he asks.
We switch off the TV and stand up. " Yes Sir." We both say.
" Good, let's go. The Alpha expects us there in 10 minutes to greet the guests when they arrive," he says, and with that he leads us out of the house, and we make our way to the Pack House, which isn't far from our house.
' Man, I really hate acting all grown at a party.' I think, complaining in my head.
' You and me both.'
That was my wolf talking to me. ' Yeah well, no matter how much we hate it, it's important to dad so we can't disobey his orders.' I think back.
' I know, I just wish we didn't have to follow these rules.' She thinks back, she sounded a bit disappointed, which is how I feel right now. ' It would be great to go for a run instead and enjoy a moment of freedom.'
I smile. ' Don't worry. Soon we will go for a run when this party is all over.' I think back.
She doesn't reply, but I can tell she's happy.
" Amber, are you even listening?" Snapped my dad.
I snapped out of my thought and looked at him. " Sorry dad," I say.
He sighs. " Amber. Stop daydreaming and getting lost in thoughts. You need to be more concentrated on other things."
I nod. " Yes Sir. I'll try harder."
He just shakes his head and turns his head to look back at the road. " What I was trying to tell you was, I need you and Tasha to be on your best behavior tonight. We have another pack coming to this party and I don't have time for childish games."
I nod again. " Yes Sir. We will behave." Tasha nodded.
My dad nods and soon we make it to the packed house. He opens the doors and let us go in first. " You both look very nice, by the way," says dad.
I smiled up at him. " I'm going to go talk to the Alpha. You two behave." He says, then he leaves to go find the Alpha.
Tasha and I hung out for a while till members of my pack and the other's pack filled the place and that's when the party finally started.
Connors POV.I can't believe what just happened. Didn't they see me trying to save her, to help her?I was trying to do my job as a mate. I can't believe this.So there I lay at the mercy of another Alpha. I'm now on my knees with my head bowed.This isn't fair. I don't want to go back to prison. I didn't do anything.I can't go back. I've got to take care of Amber. I have to save her.Then I hear a growl. " Lift your head up, boy. Now!" says Amber's father.I do as I'm told, not wanting to tick them off anymore." It is him, Alpha George," says Amber's father." Contact Alpha Conan. Tell him we found his son," says alpha George.At those words, fear fills me. If my dad gets ahold of me again, there's nothing stopping him from killing me." Yes, Alpha," says Amber's father before walking off.John saw me and ran up. " Your son is alive, Alpha. He should heal soon," says John.Relief fills me with that. Cassandra would have gone crazy if she lost him after just finding him." He got aw
Connor and I are lying on the ground. My head resting on his chest.We've been lying there and talking for a while.We tried the mind link between the two of us. It's awesome.Now I can talk to him when he's in wolf form.As the minutes ticked by, I couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow would be.What will happen to the pack? How many innocent wolves will die protecting our home from these rogues?" Don't panic Amber. Remember this important fact. Cassandra, Clayton and I will be here in the woods to help defend your pack," says Connor." Our pack. Once this entire thing is cleared up, you will be joining the pack," I say.He smiles. " That would be nice. Being a part of a pack that doesn't want to put me in jail," says Connor.He then turns to me. " Even better. Once we solve things with my father, maybe we could take over my old pack," says Conner." Hopefully, one day that will come true," I say.He smiled. After that, the two of us just laid there in silence.' AMBER HURRY BACK!!
" Ok. Let's get some food and get our stuff packed. We will get moving in three hours," says John.We all nodded, and I started to work on making the food.It didn't take long before we were sitting down eating.After we eat, we finish getting our stuff ready.Tonight's the last night. I'm still a bit scared about this.Like how are we going to get out of this house? What are we going to do if we get caught?How the heck are we supposed to pass the freaking guards surrounding my house?I know John said he's got it covered, but I still can't help but worry about it.' Don't worry. Everything will turn out OK. I'm sure of it.' Says my wolf' Ok. I hope you're right,' I say back.Soon we were all ready to go. While Kurt and I stand by the back door. John stands next to us. He's going to go through the front door." Ok. So what are we going to do?" I say." I'm going to distract the guards and get them away from the house. The second they leave, you three take off for the woods and go to
The three of us walked into the meeting room to see Alpha George talking with my father and Tasha's father.Guards everywhere throughout the room just in case.I walk forward. When dad sees me, he looks back at Alpha George and nods." We didn't have a rogue attack this morning. They had all been killed. However, one rogue made it to town. He was quickly taken care of. This rogue had a note attached to it," says Alpha George." It's from the boss rogue. " Says my father.I knew he'd leave something like that." What does it say?" I ask.My dad walks forward and hands the note to me. I look down and start reading. It says.You had your chance, Alpha. I gave you as many days as I could, but I've done enough waiting. It's time I do things my way. You got till morning to prepare for my attack. Innocent wolves will die. If you're in my way you will die. I want a girl. I'm coming for her myself. Be ready, Alpha, for the fight you'll wish you never caused.Reading those words sent a huge sur
As the night went on, we all laid back on the grass. Cassandra in the middle of Connor and Clayton. Tasha and I next to our mates.We laid like that and stared at the beautiful night sky.It was beautiful outside tonight. We had moved to where Connor sleeps and were lying with the beam of moonlight
I keep a tight hold on Connors hand as we walk deeper into the woods." Oh, I probably should warn you. Alpha George has sent guards searching through the woods," I say." I already know. I nearly ran into some," he said. A bit of worry fills me because of that." How did you escape them?" I ask."
Soon enough, everyone was asleep. I couldn't sneak out of the door because my father had John sleep there just in case.There's only one way I can sneak out, and it won't be that much of a problem since I'm a werewolf.I walk over to the window and open it. I then put my legs over the side and jump
By the time I finished straightening up my room, I hear the door open from downstairs.To my werewolf hearing, I can hear what they're saying." Where is Amber?" That sounded like my father." She's upstairs cleaning her room." That sounded like John." Have you been to check on her in a while?" sa
