Elias pov
In hindsight it was silly of me to think I would start my job as King right away. I needed time to get used to my powers, I needed to find people around me I could trust and I honestly needed to finish high-school. There were only a few weeks left and I could really use that time to practice with Zane. When I had graduated I could travel around and see all the Alpha’s. Hopefully I could get a good feel of what was necessary for me to do. Perhaps my mother could join me on some of the travels, although I don’t want people to think I need my mommy close all the time. I was the first to admit I was a mommy’s boy, but this was my destiny not hers. I mindlinked my father and told him my plans. My father was happy I wasn’t leaving right away and I took my education seriously. I think he was also secretly happy my mom didn’t start her new job right away, they could finally have some time together without having to protect me.Jade’s povJacob came over for dinner and chatted the whole time, telling me about his job and the alpha. And how everything was better now that Alpha Ivar was in charge. ‘He’s really making some changes. Alpha Soren was fine and all, but he lacked ambition. Alpha Ivar wants to expand and grow. He has a long term plan for our pack’. Sally told Jacob how I was planning on going to school here for my last semester and needed a part time job. ‘I have some experience in a butcher shop’ I told them ‘or I can work the counter at a grocery store?’. Sally asked Jacob if he could show me around tomorrow and look for a job. She would handle registering me at school. I noticed it was silent for a while and Sally and Jacob looked at each other very seriously. They must be talking about me through their mindlink I though. I just turned 17 before moving to Crimson Moon pack. Living with my grandmother I was always fearful of turning
Jade’s pov Jacob and I headed back to Sally’s house and he told me he would pick me up later. Jacob seemed really excited. I headed inside and waited for Sally to get home. I showered and did my hair, I used some of my new hair product which really helped. Before my hair was almost flat on my head, but now I’ve added some volume. When Sally came back I told her about the invite, ‘I am sorry, I know I’m suppose to be laying low. But it would be rude to decline and Jacob looked so happy. I need help with clothing though’ I said embarrassed. Luckily Sally wasn’t one to throw away anything so she had some clothes from back when she was young ‘it’s a good things everything comes back in style at some point’ Sally said as she handed me a dress. It was a floral grunge dress from the 90’s. I was far shorter than Sally and it was a bit wide, but I had move curves so it still fit. I wore my green necklace and Sally put some black mascara and eyeliner on. ‘I also have some boo
Elias’ povIt was almost time to graduate, I had been training with Zane a lot and spending time with my family and Zoey before I was leaving. It felt really good to see my parents so happy and carefree together. My father and I had a good talk about Jade, I explained I didn’t think she was a bad person and would harm others. It was all about getting revenge for her parents and since she couldn’t kill me the first time I doubted she would try again. Especially since it was now almost impossible to kill me. I didn’t tell my parents I would try and feel her emotions every evening, to see if she was doing well. Jade seemed to be okay, often feeling guilty and sad. Some of the time she was feeling numb, like she was just going through the motions. It felt kind of wrong checking up on her, like I was stalking her. Perhaps I should just check if she was alive every month? ‘You are negotiating with yourself to see how much of a stalker you can
Jade’s pov Things have been going fine at the Shadow pack for me. I am doing well in school. Sally has been so kind and has helped me learn so much about my parents, especially my mother. I was four years old when they died, so there weren’t a lot of memories from that time I had left. But it had been so wonderful to learn what my mother was like when she was around my age. The only thing that has been difficult is work. For the last few weeks I have been working at the packhouse in the weekends. And when Alpha Ivar is not around everything is fine. But he seems to find me every time he’s home. When it’s just him and me in the room he is so sweet, sometimes giving me gifts and calling me ‘his rose’. But when there are other omega’s around he criticises my work. It’s even worse when friends of his are over, he taunts me and teases me about my height and short hair. He even joked and said ‘you look like a 13 year old boy’ once. I was dreading going to work today,

I just turned 17 before moving to Crimson Moon pack. Living with my grandmother I was always fearful of turning 18, this would mean I would shift for the first
Elias’ pov I was set to leave at any moment, I just needed to say goodbye to everyone. We had celebrated Zoey’s birthday and she had shifted for the first time. Zoey and I would meet up every night to run together, she loved running along with me. Zane hated having to slow down for Zoey, but it was only temporary. We would leave soon anyway I told him. Liam got the highest grades of everyone, but for once he chose not to rub it in. I didn’t know if he was scared of me or my father, but I didn’t care either way. Guys like Liam didn’t matter when you had a future like mine to look forward to. I couldn’t wait to travel the world, of course I knew there would be struggles and hard times. But I have been at the same pack for 12 years, without ever setting a foot outside our grounds. And now I would be traveling on my own. I would have to figure out how I could afford everything though, usually the alpha got a percentage of the pack funds to support his family. But I had
Jade’s povThank the Goddess Alpha Ivar had work to do, so I was sent back down to Sally who gave me a concerned look. I told her I would explain everything tonight at dinner. I continued my work, trying to think of a plan. I had been avoiding telling Sally, but I think this was getting too much for me to handle on my own. When Sally and I walked home I broke down in tears, ‘Sally I’ve been so dumb’. We quickly walked home, scared of anyone hearing us and I explained. ‘Alpha Ivar has liked me for a while now and we secretly meet up during working hours. I don’t have any feeling for him, but he was kind to me and I liked being with him. But now he want me to stay a month longer and he got angry with me when I asked if I had a choice. I am scared he will want me to stay longer once this month is over. I have no power in this relationship, besides the lie I told about saving myself for my mate’. Sally gave me a hug ‘I knew
Jade’s pov I have no idea how long I’ve been in Alpha Ivar’s dungeon. It’s dark here most of the time and he wakes me up at different hours to question me. I don’t know if he wants me to tell the truth or lie, he seems to find pleasure in giving me pain. I try not to scream, because that makes Alpha Ivar worse. He wanted to know about my coven, the spells I am able to do and what my plans were at his pack. When he realized I could withstand his beatings Alpha Ivar started to threaten Sally. I could never allow him to hurt Sally, she had been there for me when no-one else was. At first I lied and pretended I could only do white magic, small things like healing spells or spells to hide my scent. But that wasn’t enough for Alpha Ivar, he wanted me to do more. Another prisoner joined the dungeon, Charlotte. She was a special wolves, with super strength and had lived in the Shadow pack for 12 years now. Alpha Soren had no issues with her, but apparently Alpha Ivar though
