Ryan's POV
The school bell rang out its high-pitched clang with repeated hammering on the bell.
Ryan signed as the bells sound meant a moment of rest from concentrating, listening and taking notes. He grabbed his books and headed out the classroom door. His two closest friends, Harry and Flynn, waited by his locker.
"Let's grab lunch", Flynn called out and tapped the green metal door with a closed fist before moving to the side to let Ryan put his books away in the narrow storage compartment.
"Sure", Ryan started before getting interrupted by his mobile phone ringing.
"I need to take this", he mumbled after fishing the phone out of his jeans pock

Nueva wiped away the condensation on the bathroom mirror. Her eyes twinkled with excitement for the night ahead in the blurry reflection.A week of planning, preparing and setting up was done, and it was finally time to enjoy the fruit of the labour.She gently patted herself dry with a soft towel, ensuring not to mess up her already styled hair. The hairdresser had insisted on a soft Dutch front row braid and glamorous curls to enhance her facial features.She focused her makeup on her eyes, painting a strong winged eyeliner combined with a sparkling shade of silver eyeshadow to make her blue eyes pop.Nueva kept the rest of her makeup natural with only a sweep of pink across her cheeks and a dab of clear lip gloss.

She turned around, and immediately, her jaw came unhinged. Behind her stood no other than Alpha Gray. "Do you mind if I cut in?" he asked in his dark rich voice. His argent eyes flashed dangerously. Derek was about to protest when he noticed Nueva's captivated gaze. So, he stepped to the side and watched her practically melt into Alpha Grays's arms. Alpha Gray towered over her, looking sharp in a dark tailored two-piece suit. The white shirt was unbuttoned at the top, and she could see his well-defined chest straining under the silky fabric. He pulled her into his hard chest and wrapped his strong arms around her lower waist.The music around them seemed to fade into the background over the beat of her raising heart.Her brain was tumultuous as his musky scent of summer rain and pear filled her nostrils. "What is he doing here?" Nueva stumbled; her legs felt weak from his masculine presence. His arms tightened around her immediately, holding

The rest of the night was a blur of dancing, laughing and having fun.She stumbled out from the town hall just after midnight with her arm around her mum's shoulders. Asher and Grim were already waiting, half asleep in the car."Let's get you home and into bed" Miranda chuckled at her tipsy daughter."Woohoo, best party ever", Nueva shouted, punching the air over her head in a victorious gesture.Evie and Mira called out unsynchronised "Yeah" through the open windows of their parent's cars as they drove out from the car park."It sure was, and hopefully, you won't regret drinking all that champagne in the morning?" Miranda agreed, doing her best to get Nueva into the car seat without bumping into anything."I love champagne", Nueva hiccupped and leaned her heavy head back onto the neck rest."So, I noticed", Miranda mumbled while buckling her daughter's seatbelt."Mum, she stinks", Grim grunted from the backseat."Open the

Alpha Gray povGrandma Perla filled the small wide-mouth teacup with freshly brewed coffee to the brim. Her crafty hands were knobby and twisted—more like Ginger roots than human flesh and blood. She gestured to Alpha Gray for a refill, but he covered the cup with his hand and shook his head. Perla sipped the hot liquid. "So", she started glancing over the worn antique gold-rimmed cup, "are you going to go and see her tonight at her birthday party?"Alpha Gray cleared his throat; her milky orbs flashed with old wisdom as he met her steady stare. He shrugged his broad shoulders and drummed a finger on the table surface."Are you going to ask her to come for a visit?" Perla continued casually, placing the emp

Nueva stayed by the stream for a while; it was a surreal but enjoyable feeling wading through the chilled waters; everything felt so different under her paw pads. She watched the bubbles turn into blurry ripples as she pawed playfully at her reflection on the edge of the water. Tiny water creatures shot past like silver bullets under the surface, disturbed by her clumsy movements.The Forrest around her stood like silent observers; peering through their weathered trunks was the silvery searchlight from the lonesome moon. Nothing escaped her beams, lighting up Nueva's snow-white shiny coat like a halo in the dense darkness.With her heightened senses, she was drinking in the pine aromas in the night-forest the same way she loved the scent of wildflowers. There was something so right about her being here as if nature craved her presence. Eira sat back and let Nueva figure out things for herself, trusting in the theory behind learning by doing.She practically brayed l

Nueva felt the bright light and warmth from the sun on her face before she opened her eyes.She was lying on her back with her tall, slender body resting on a soft mattress; the silky sheets felt cold against her bare skin. Her pale-yellow hair was damp from sweat, and the rose gold tones from the suns ray added to the ginger in her locks.Two tall windows allowed sunlight to flood the spacious bedroom with natural light. Nueva could hear leaves rattling in the wind outside one of the partly open windows and the buzzing of flies as they crawled on the flaking wooden sill. There was a musky scent of fresh rain in the air.As she opened her eyes, a slight headache started pulsating deep in the back, threatening to turn into a migraine, and her body felt stiff and sore from lying in the same position for hours. Her mouth was dry, making it hard to lick her swollen lips, and she desperately wanted a drink of water. Nueva drew in a shaky breath and filled her lungs w

They drove for about 15 minutes through the valley before any houses were visible. The closer they got to town, the more houses popped up in the lush nature. Most of them were small, modest cottages blending perfectly into their surroundings. “I can’t believe I have lived in White Creek my whole life, and I have never been here?” Nueva gasped in amazement that this piece of the landscape had entirely gone her past.Outside the car window, the filtered sunlight seemed picky when choosing its intended objects- high lighting some trees, fields and cottages, leaving others in a gloomy shade. “Not many outsiders come here without an invitation”, Alpha Gray explained. “It’s just werewolf etiquette.” “Does any of the people from my parts. Um, know you are werewolves? Nueva started to realise there was so much she didn’t know about the area in which she lived.“Some do,” he stated c

Marigold insisted on coming with Nueva to do the shopping, dragging her through all the boutiques on the main street. Alpha Gray gave Nueva his MasterCard and instructed her to pick up some clothes to last her for a few days. Then, he and Ryan went back to the pack house to sort out some business while they waited for Nueva to finish. Marigold didn't hold back and picked out the most expensive clothes she could find."That's at least what he can do after more or less kidnapping you", She insisted every time Nueva gasped at the price tags. After a few hours, Nueva had more than enough clothes for any weather.Marigold had also picked out a couple of Satin Silk Nightdresses in soft earthy shades. The lingerie with its low V-neckline and skimpy size was a bit too revealing for Nueva's taste. But, Marigold had again insisted and tapped the credit card before Nueva had a chance to protest.Alpha Gray picked her up after she had finished her shopping and drove t
