Well, I have talked with the doctor, and he isn’t much help. He has reviewed my test results again and says that there isn’t anything off in any of them. His best suggestion is to go back to my room and rest. Maybe in the morning, my throat won’t be so dry.
Reluctantly, I follow the doctor’s advice and go to bed shortly after getting back to my apartment. I feel bad because I want to sit up and talk with Finn to get to know him a little bit, but I can’t. The longer the night drags on the drier my throat gets. I have drunk glass after glass of water and juice, but nothing seems to help. I’m hoping that a good night’s sleep will do the trick.
I drag my feet as I head towards my bedroom. Besides talking with Finn, I really want to spend more time with Kane. Not only my wolf, but I also get excited when he is around. All Kane has to do to brighten my day is to smile
Everything has turned upside down. I thought my life was fantastic, but it turns out that it was all a lie. For the last several years, I have thought that Kat was my true mate, but that is a lie.I have claimed the wrong person as my mate. How could I?I don’t dare ask anyone what is going on, even though I really want to know. I’m sure that there is a logical excuse for what they did to me. However, I’m not in the mood to listen to it right now.I look across the couch at Edward, who is drinking a beer. I know that I can’t ask him anything because he won’t know or understand. However, his apartment is the first place that I ran to when I was released from the hospital.Looking back, I’m fortunate Edward remembered that I can’t go to a normal hospital. I can’t remember the lie that I have told him back when we first met, but I’m j
It feels good to be back and be on the training ground, instead of in an office building. I don’t mind going to our offices from time to time, but to be stuck going to it every day for weeks, is not my idea of fun. No, to be exact, it is more like torture.I take a deep breath and smile as I walk across the training field towards the front platform. I usually don’t like teaching the pack from up there. The pack members learn more, and the training is more effective if I’m walking through the crowd of trainees as they are practicing. However, today, Ford says that he has some announcements that he needs to give before we start practicing.I haven’t had a chance to talk with Ford or Wyatt since I got back yesterday. However, I do know that Wyatt has gotten out of the hospital. The pack has been buzzing with excitement since the Alpha is back. I have to admit that I breathed a sigh of reli
Mike POVI walk into my dad’s office without knocking. I glance across the room at my father and ask, “Dad, did you want to see me?”I walk across the office and casually sit down on one of the chairs in front of his desk. My dad has his face buried in paperwork and hasn’t even acknowledged me yet. He must be working on something really important.I glance around the room. Soon this office will be mine. I’m still a little surprised that my dad hasn’t passed the alpha title over to me yet. I meet the qualifications. I’m 18 and have found my mate. It should have been almost an automatic thing, but it still hasn’t happened.In order for me to get ready for the responsibility and the job, I have been working with my dad so he can show what is needed on a daily basis. I have to admit that I never knew that being an alpha meant you
These last few weeks have been a whirlwind. While I have crammed a lot of training and learning in the last few weeks, I have also been the happiest that I’ve ever been. But there is one thing that keeps bugging me. I wish I could share my happiness with my family. I know that they wouldn’t be nearly as happy with me finding my mate than when Caleb finds his, but I want to share this with them.For the first time since Wyatt and I have claimed each other, my smile falters a little. I miss my family.As I walk out of my bedroom’s walk-in closet, Ben chimes, “Don’t you have anything to wear? Why the sudden sad face?” He finishes folding my shirt and puts it into my suitcase as he continues to glance my direction.Finn walks out of the bathroom. “Are you nervous about being introduced to all those Alphas and Lunas for the first time?”I shake my head w
To say that I’m a little nervous is an understatement. Our pack has never come out to the werewolf community for hundreds of years. Our lives have always depended on our ability to blend in and hide, so the thought that we will be coming out of hiding, well at least a few of us, is scaring the living daylight out of me.My mind can’t seem to calm down. I know that I shouldn’t be like this, but this is something that we have never done before. The Supreme Elder has confirmed repeatedly that this is needed, and it is something that we have to do. However, in the back of my mind, I can’t help but to worry.I look out the plane’s window and sigh. Not only is it the first time that we are going to reveal ourselves to the werewolf community, but it is also the first time that I’ve been away from the pack for this long. As Beta of the pack, I can’t help but to worry. I know t
I have been to some really nice and luxurious hotels in the past, but nothing like this. With my mouth slightly hanging open, I scan the lobby area trying to take everything in. I haven’t traveled too much in my life, but I have gone to a few places. However, I’ll have to say that this is the most beautiful and lavish hotel that I’ve ever been, and I’m just at the lobby. I can’t even imagine what the rest of the hotel looks like.The marble floor shimmers under the gold chandelier’s light. The crystal tear-drop pieces hanging from it sparkle as if they are diamonds.My eyes slowly pan up the marble columns scattered around the lobby. If the huge chandelier doesn’t scream expensive, then the marble floor and columns do.“Mike!”I quickly snap out of my stupor and whip my head towards my father. “Sorry, dad. I’m coming.&r
Why is everything happening right now? The moment that Wyatt and Ford leave for the world werewolf gathering, things start to fall apart at the main headquarters. I still don’t really understand why either.I’m fortunate that Wyatt’s father, Seth, has agreed to not only help me look after the pack, but to go to the company and try to resolve the issue that is there. I have spent enough time locked inside an office building when I had to handle the contract negotiations with King Enterprises. I don’t want to step into another office building, even if it is our own, unless I’m forced. Even then, I will be fighting to try and find a way out of it.Luckily for me, Seth understands my hatred towards being inside office buildings, so it doesn’t take too much begging to get him to go handle the situation. The plus side is that him and Wyatt are the true owners of the company, even though they
Well, I’m not totally surprised meeting Alpha Marcus like this for the first time. Everything that I have read about him is completely true. He is one of the most arrogant people that I’ve ever met. I’m so happy that Kane and Ben have gotten away from that pack.A cold chill rushes through my body when I think about Kane being the Luna for that pack.I quickly shake my head. I don’t even want to think about it. Kane is my Luna, and I’m not letting him go.As I round the corner to the penthouse suite, Ford walks out of the penthouse and calls down the hall to me. “Hey, did you get the extra keycards?”I smile and raise my hand with the keycards in my grasp. As I shake them in the air, I reply, “Yeah. I also got to meet someone very interesting.” I continue talking through the mindlink. “I met Alpha Marcus, Beta Malcolm,
