I had to be careful not to spoil anything, so I think this is it. I might leave the book open though to post some chapters of Brax and the twins before trying to get a contract for that one.
- - Prologue - - THREE YEARS AGOBrax’s pov"So, can I have a hug to say goodbye?" Airk asked me."Sure," I replied, opening my arms. Airk moved his small frame towards mine and placed his head against my chest."I’ll miss you."It felt right to hold him, but it shouldn’t. Airk was only fifteen, and I was eighteen and unmated. Perhaps in time we would find out we were mates, but speculating about future mates is something my mother always warned me about.At the White Claw pack where I grew up after we left home, it wasn’t allowed to speculate about mates. You weren’t permitted to date anyone without a wolf, once you turned eighteen, either. You wouldn’t want to risk someone falling for you before they met their true mate.Of course, people still dated in secret, but it was much easier to get my freak on once I turned eighteen six months ago. I had experimented with whoever seemed interesting. I didn’t want to limit myself to just one gender; I could find something attractive in almos
Mila’s povI was seven when I left here. Mom hadn’t been back here; it had been too painful, but I wanted to support my big brother. He was trying to do something good, and the pack was doing a lot better than it was before he took over.Alpha Brax, I laughed to myself. Our father had been adamant about naming Brax after himself. Braxton. And now, Brax never used his full name. Where Brax was kind, funny, and compassionate, Dad had been mean, selfish, and brutal.Our father had this idea that women were less than men, and he was so threatened by the idea of a female alpha that he hired someone to kill Alpha Aeryn when she was six. Yeah, I wasn’t kidding when I called him brutal.Who in their right mind pays someone to kill a little girl?!But Daddy Dearest was double-crossed, and they never killed Aeryn. Instead, they took her and her sister and sold them to a school. The same school where my mom was bought from. The whole thing was so messed up that it could fill a whole book. But tha
I listened to your suggestions and decided to make the first chapter from Argo's pov so we can learn a bit mroe about the pack etc. Hope you like it. As usual none of what I'm writing is set in stone, things can change this early in the process. So i love to hear your input. Argo’s pov "I’ve talked with mom, and we both agree it would be a great idea if you both went to spend summer break at the Blood Rock Pack." Dad said to me and my brother. "You’re fucking joking." There was no way in hell I was leaving right now. Things with Hazel were just starting to look up. Why both Isaac and I fell for the same girl is beyond me. He never liked the same type of girl as I did. He wanted to be intellectually stimulated, whatever the fuck that meant. Isaac is a nerd, but he’s my best friend. Me, my twin brother Airk, and Isaac form an unbreakable bond. We were raised together and lived in the same house for years. But now a girl has gotten in between us. Thank the fuck, I don’t have to wor
"Aaro, you need to get up!" my sister whispered in my ear."Just a few seconds," I grunted."No, you don’t understand. There are people coming; you need to get dressed now. You know what happened last time!"I did fucking know what happened last time. Last time I was late, I got punished with no food for a week, and I had to clean all the toilets. It was a good fucking thing I didn’t have anything to eat, or I’d throw it up. There are only girls here, but fuck, those toilets were nasty.I quickly got out of bed and put my hair in a bun. Head Mistress Myrtle didn’t like it if we wore our hair down. Particularly if I wear it down. She hated my fucking curls. She said they were unruly and unkempt, like me.I didn’t fucking care, as long as my sister got out of here. I had fucking tried to run away with her many times, and I always took the blame. I didn’t mind getting punished or hurt, and they fucking realized that the fifth time we ran. So they started punishing her. I stopped trying t
Aaro’s povIt took for fucking ever to get where we were going. The noise of the motor and the feeling of the wheels on the road made me sleepy. I closed my eyes for a second and didn’t awaken until someone shouted in my fucking face. “Girl! Wake up!” I opened my eyes, and for a fucking second I thought it was Myrtle, trying to wake me up. Then I remembered what happened. My eyes shot open and were met by the eyes of a soldier. “Get up.” I stood up and looked around, seeing if there was any fucking possibility of running away. It looked like we were in a really big building. The ceilings were high, and there was nothing there but the car. “I will knock you out and tie you up if you try to run,” the soldier growled. Ahead of me was Alpha dickface, or Alpha Lex. His black hair was combed back, and he was wearing a suit. Even from here, I could smell his awful fucking cologne. It made me sick to my stomach. Then I saw it. A plane. I had only seen planes in books. We weren’t allowe
Aaro's povThe flight didn’t take long, thank the fucking goddess, because it meant that I wasn’t far from the school, right? Alpha Dickface got off the plane first, with Eve behind him. She smiled at me, but her eyes looked sad. Then Storm walked past me as if I weren’t even there. Fucker. If he had just found a Luna on his own, I wouldn’t be in this fucking mess. I would be at school, escaping with Ero. I almost started crying again, but the guard pulled me up out of the chair and started growling at me and pulling me towards the exit. I could fucking walk, he just needed to ask. I took one step out of the plane, and I had to catch my breath because it was fucking freezing. I was only wearing the ugly school dress, and the wind went right through it. There was even snow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much snow. It had snowed one winter, but that was like that weird ass wet snow that doesn’t even stay on the ground. But this, this was actual, thick snow, and I wondered wh
Aaro’s pov"Ready?" Eve asked.I opened the door, and she gasped. "You look amazing, Aaro. Now we just need some shoes, and maybe you should do something with your hair. What if you wear it down?"Down? What did she mean, not in a fucking bun or braid? Was she fucking nuts?"Here let me," she said, before I could stop her. My hair was in a braid that I had rolled up into a bun, and she quickly got rid of the elastic that was holding everything in place. She ran her hands through my hair and looked at me again."Wow, at least my son has good taste."Should I say thank you? He looked at me fucking once, and his father bought me. I doubted he actually liked me; he ignored me the whole fucking time, and most importantly, it didn’t fucking matter anyway. I wasn’t planning on staying.She brought me some shoes that had heels, but Myrtle had let us practice walking in heels for when we were auctioned of. Apparently, fighting isn’t important for a future mate to learn, but walking in fucking
Storm’s povI didn’t want to buy a Luna. I had told my dad that numerous times."Well, if you had found one on your own, or even attempted to look, then you wouldn’t be in this mess." My wolf, Brand, said.Brand means fire in Dutch, and he is a bit of a hothead, so the name fits him. He claims he's agitated because I haven’t found my Luna yet to ground me, or whatever the fuck he thinks."Just shut the fuck up, you know I'm right." Brand growled.Dad didn’t tell me where we were going until I got on that plane. Both me and mam were pissed. She told me to show no interest in anyone, and hopefully, dad would just leave the whole thing alone. But of course, he didn't, and now I was stuck with some seventeen-year-old that I had looked at once."You like her." Brand said. "You might act like you don’t, but she is your type.""She is nothing like the girls I’ve dated." I countered."She’s strong, tall, beautiful, and a handful. Isn’t that exactly what you want in a mate?"It was. For years,
