KyleI sighed and looked out the tinted car window, looking at the entrance gates of the building.Orphanage St. Claire It had the writing on the gate."Were you able to find the list of guys?" Rowan asked our beta.Austin shook his head "Unfortunately, no. Being minors, they don’t let anyone know who is housed here. All anyone knows is that they have 123 minors, three to 17. Fifty-six males and sixty-seven females," Austin said, reading the file in his hand."Anything else?" I asked."Are you sure she got in here?" Austin asked.Rowan and I both nodded."Orphan, it would explain her not having any smell," Rowan sighed.I looked again at the gates, where two figures appeared, a man and a woman, with sparkling smiles on their lips."Time for the show," I said, exiting the door.We were visiting as new benefactors of the orphanage, and with the excuse of a donation, we asked to see the place and get to know the inhabitants. Obviously, the director had immediately agreed, more than happy
Ava I passed a hand under my eyes, wiping tears, while I heard the priest’s speech. The sky was clear, and the sun illuminated the bare coffin before me.With a book in his hand, the priest continued to speak, extolling Sandra's skill as a woman, how she would be welcomed at the gates of heaven, and how she would observe us all from above. I sighed and kept my gaze fixed on the light brown coffin, imagining myself in there, Sandra.Despite all the time that had passed, I had not prepared myself for the idea of living a life without her, of living this life, the one she had saved, without her. Sandra was the only person who really mattered to me, there was no one else. She was my whole family, and now I was alone, with no one.At her funeral, there were few people, not even the director had come. When I called him, he bothered to call the funeral home and take Sandra away without too much fuss. When I told him about the funeral, he told me he couldn’t, that he should receive new bene
KyleI looked out the window of the moving car, losing myself in the sight of the trees flowing as the car advanced on the road."Was it really necessary to leave now?" asked Rowan next to me as one of our warriors drove the car on which we were, followed by three other cars with other warriors, our escort for that trip."We’ve been putting it off too long, and we can’t miss the ceremony," I sighed.Rowan snorted next to me while I kept looking out the window.We were going to a friendly pack, The Shadow Pack, at the Alpha and Luna ceremony in a few days.My brother wasn’t going to move, he didn’t want to move away from what he thought was our mate, but I had reminded him how necessary it was to appear to this eventuality to confirm our alliance with the pack and the new alpha. After much convincing, Rowan agreed to come with me.In the last week, we had spent every night in the city, every night
Ava My sight had blackened as if my brain had completely shut off. I didn’t notice anything, I didn’t control anything anymore. It seemed like I only woke up when I blinked. My hand was around Kora’s throat, her face a mask of terror as my hand squeezed her throat, which looked so fragile. On one cheek, she had blood, with the mark of some scratches that lacerated her skin, her dark eyes were full of tears and reddened, and her mouth was open, looking for air.All around me, some cries finally reached my ears that seemed stuck until that moment.My hand let go of the grip on Kora’s throat, which fell to the ground with a thud, I kept her raised, and the blow made her moan in pain.I looked around and saw his other friends all on the ground, some of them had lacerations on their clothes, and the blood covered them and looked at me, frightened."What kind of monster are you?" said one of them, terrified.My mouth tingled, and I passed my tongue over my teeth, feeling something sharp. I
Ava My whole body stiffened as I listened to the sounds of the forest and the footsteps that followed me. They weren’t the ones I was used to, they weren’t the eight legs of wolves that I felt protected with, no, these were steps of people running after me.I turned my head, only to see figures coming closer and closer behind me. they were hooded, covered in black from head to toe, and moving at a frightening speed. I looked up and ran as fast as my legs allowed me to.I felt my lungs burn as the men’s grunts grew closer and closer.What did they want? Why were they following me?Running and running at breakneck speed, no matter where I was, the important thing was getting away from these men. My whole body screamed for me to run like I could feel how dangerous those men were.I felt the tears prick my eyes when my legs began to yield, failing to hold me anymore, and I fell to the ground, rolling between the leaves and the grass. I got down on my knees and pushed backward until I hit
BeaI sighed, closed the book, and went to the kitchen to find my mate. When I came in and found it empty, I frowned and frowned, and it was here until recently.Connor, I called through our mental link, but he didn’t answer.Through our bond, I felt something, even if light, a bit of anguish and a pinch of happiness, and I wondered what he was doing, then I noticed the open French window and looked out, seeing his shirt left on the patio.I sigh and close the window, he’s probably running through the woods. I shook my head and went back to the room, along the way, I fixed the photos that had moved slightly, paying attention to that of Ava, one of the few I had of my little girl before...Kara, my she-wolf, howled in agony in my head, as she had done for 17 years. Seventeen years of agony without our baby, without our little angel.We had searched everywhere, searched all the territories from north to south, but we never found it again. I shook my head and bit my lower lip to keep my
Austin One of our warriors parked the car in front of the gate of the orphanage, and I, with a sigh, got out of the car and looked at the old faded iron gate of the orphanage, on the tip, there was the name of the place, and a thrill crossed my body. Who would leave a place for children in these conditions?A fool.I went to the intercom and I pressed it, feeling already bored.That morning came to the email that, finally, the two alphas could access the files of the boys who lived in this place literally, shit, bad luck was that the two alphas had left, and then I had the slop.The gate opened, and I put my hands in my pocket and continued to wide strides towards the entrance where the old housekeeper was waiting for me. She had dark hair pulled back in an onion behind her head and a wide dress with a white apron."We expected Mr. and Mr. Anderson," the maid said cordially."Mr. and Mr. Anderson left on a business trip and entrusted the task to me," I said, shrugging.The woman look
Ava Something warm and familiar enveloped my body, making me relax completely. My muscles hurt a bit, but I felt a particular energy reborn in my body, a force that spread everywhere as my chest vibrated, emitting a similar sound to an animal's.I squeezed my eyes and took a deep breath, and then very slowly opened them.I had a slightly blurred vision, and my eyes took a while to get used to the surrounding environment, also thanks to the low brightness that was perpetuated from the windows. The sky was barely illuminated, and in the distance, you could see the first rays of the sun.I sighed and closed my eyes again, snuggling against the warmth that seemed to warm my soul while my body was carried away by the softness of the mattress on which I was lying.I suddenly looked up. My mattress wasn’t that soft. The window of my room did not give a direct view of the sun or much less of the forest, and certainly, there was no familiar smell in the air.My body was petrified as I turned m
