Chapter Twenty Two
Annalee’s P.O.V
Forgiving Zeke for the outburst was the easiest decision of my life, he cared about me and he made me feel safe, that one moment of weakness and poor decision making wasn’t going to change that. His behaviour wasn’t okay, but he knew that. Spending the day after the party training, talking to Hunter, playing video games and gossiping with Evelyn was one of the best days I could remember, and I wasn't as bad at the video games as Zeke made me out to be.
Monday came and trying to pay attention in class was difficult, this afternoon I would be going to Evelyn’s store, she was going to show me around and train me. At the packhouse I wasn’t allowed to even talk about magic, they were all convinced I would try to kill them or something stupid. But Evelyn and Walter embraced that side of me they wanted me to learn more and grow into both halves of myself. They weren’t making me choose because they knew that being a wolf and

Annalee’s P.O.V The next week passed slowly, my classes were university entry level and were putting me on the path to becoming a doctor like my father. I spent my lunch time between being with Hunter, and being with Zeke and the boys. I hadn’t made any girlfriends yet they tended to avoid me because of how close I was to Zeke, Eli and Henry and my relationship with Hunter, but I was use to not having any girlfriends so I pretended like the looks and comments (they didn’t think I could hear) didn’t bother me. Plus, I had bigger things on my mind this week then petty high school drama. The closer Friday got the more anxious I was feeling, I would finally know if what everyone told me at the pack house was true, if I would be blessed with a wolf or if I was going to never know that part of myself. The morning of my sixteenth birthday finally came. I woke early, to the sun filtering in through the small crack in my curtains, lazily stretching and popping my joints I had

Zeke’s P.O.VWhen she fell in my arms after her wolf came, I didn’t want to let her go, ever, she belonged there, in that moment I knew she belonged to me. I know we don’t know who our mates are till we turn eighteen but something inside of me knew it was her so did my wolf.Walking into school we went to our locker getting everything we needed for class. I was lost in the thought of her being mine when I sensed Hunter approach her, he annoyed me before but now it was worse. When he kissed her like that in the hall in front of everyone it took everything in me not to react, but I wouldn’t hurt her like that, not again I would learn to control my anger for her. When she told me, her wolf was pissed when he touched her, I couldn’t contain my laughter but what did she expect she has a wolf now, and wolves only like being touched like that by our mates. With that thought I wanted to test the theory I had of her belonging to me. Admittedly pull

Zeke’s P.O.V When she yelled at me, logically, I knew she was right I had no right to tell her what to do. I was just with Jenny in the storage closest, but when it comes to her, I don’t think logically, I just react and not in a good way. Getting through the last few classes of the day was torture, I wanted to apologise, I just kept going over and over what I would say in my mind. I was so distracted I had no idea what any of my teachers were talking about. When the bell rang, I sprinted out of the door trying to get to her locker first before that dick Hunter so I could apologise and we could walk home together, like we always did. Standing by her locker I waited and waited but she never came. “Hey, what are you doing?” Henry shoulder bumped me; I was so distracted waiting for her I hadn’t seen him approach me. “Waiting for Annalee so we can walk home together” I said still not looking at him. “Dude, she already left” he informed me. “What?”

Annalee's P.O.V I felt free, running through the trees with the moon shining guiding my path, all the pain all the hurt from the past vanished. None of it mattered in this moment, I was not the unwanted child, I was powerful, strong and wild running with the dirt under my paws, and Zeke running behind me. I was safe. When he caught up to me, he pounced, crashing into me playfully and rolling on top of me. My wolf licked his check, he growled approvingly while I nuzzled into his soft under fur. Taking advantage of his distraction I pushed myself up and flipped him so I had him pinned under me. He was bigger than me and more skilled at being in his wolf form but somehow, I managed to best him in the struggle for dominance. He however did not seem surprised, or upset I sensed nothing but pride radiating from him. Licking him affectionately I took off through the trees again. We ran for hours, till our bodies could not push on. Finally we collapsed together in a heap and snuggle

Standing in an open field, I find myself surrounded by wild flowers that seemed to glow under the morning sun. The warm breeze ruffles my hair and soft grass can be felt under my feet. All I can feel is warmth and love flowing through me. My parents rest nestled together on our old frayed picnic blanket, watching me as I play. Laughter fills the field as I chase the butterflies and catch ladybugs to show them. We are happy. For me in that moment life was this endless possibility of hope only restricted by the limits of my imagination. There was no pain, no loss, only love, the delusion of a five-year-old girl who has known nothing else. As I let my father’s strong arms fold around me and my mother softly kiss my cheek, I know in this moment I want for nothing more than to remain here in this field with them forever.As blackened storm clouds begin to fill the sky over head, blanketing the once bright field in darkness. Happiness that flowed through us only moments

Over the years I was responsible for helping with the cooking and cleaning around the packhouse. Working alongside the omegas, but I wasn’t an omega. That would mean I was allowed to be part of the pack, I was beneath everyone, an outsider they permitted to stay here till I turned eighteen, and they never let me forget it. Trying to just focus on keeping busy, it stopped me thinking about how lonely I was. If I could be in the kitchen prepping meals for everyone or cleaning up after everyone, I could at least pretend I was part of it all, even if they didn’t talk to me while I was there. All the pack members steered clear of me, well that was when they weren’t reminding me of the fact no one wanted me around. Any chance they got to push me around, throw things at me, trip me, they would. Not wanting to make a fuss or upset anyone I just took it and reminded myself I was just lucky they let me stay here at all. Making it to the kitchen with little noti

Axel P.O.VShe opened the door in a hurry and ran straight into me, falling flat on her butt, I didn’t want to but could help but laugh at how clumsy she is, always falling and hurting herself. “Watch it Annalee you will hurt yourself again” I chuckled. Reaching down to pick her up she winced under my touch. “You, okay?” maybe she had fallen harder than I thought and felt bad for laughing at her.“I’m fine just late, bye” she shouted as she rushed past me. She was a little whirl wind always running all over the place. Everyone kept her so busy around the packhouse I do not know how she did it all with a smile on her face. Since she wasn’t allowed to go to school, I would borrow books from the library for her and give her copies of all the work she missed out on so she could keep up with the rest of us. She needed to get out of this place when she turned eighteen and if she missed all these years of school, she would

Annalee's P.O.VIt was finally here, the day everyone had been waiting for, tomorrow is the day Maddox turned eighteen. All our neighbouring packs were coming to celebrate the occasion and hopefully he would find his mate, he deserved to be happy everyone did. As my list grows longer and longer, with all the things I needed to get ready for tomorrow it feels like the number of hours in the day needed to be multiplied by three if I had any chance of completing this. ‘Crap’ I cursed at myself as the decorations I was trying, not very successfully, to hang kept falling down, rubbing my face with my small hands I took a deep breath and tried again. A deep but quiet laugh came from behind startling me. The ladder started to shake and slip and I knew I would fall so I braced for the impact, but instead I was caught by two strong arms before hitting the ground.“Why is it every time we are in the same room together you are always falling over, if you want my
