Growing up in an institute dedicated to training supernatural killers, the only thing Werewolf alpha, Traeger has ever known is how to fight. Jelena is on vacation with her family when she stumbles upon an Institute of Supernatural killers. However, she can't help but feel this alluringly overwhelming attraction toward Traeger. Traeger never expected to find a mate, but he will do all he can to protect her, even if it means destroying the only home that he's ever known.

I can’t believe mom and dad are making me go on this lame summer trip. Last week, my mom complained that we spent too much time on social media and decided we needed to take a family vacation in the middle of nowhere, Montana. Of course, I wasn’t very happy with the decision considering that I’m eighteen, and the thought of spending my summer break with my parents is not the top of my list, but she insisted. One of her former college roommates owns a cottage in the woods, which goes with my mom’s idea of getting us off the grid.
Blech! Kill me now!
As I’m angrily packing my bag, my mom walks in with my little brother Jesse in her arms. Jesse is four years old and as cute as a button, but he’s also as annoying as he’s cute. Don’t even get me started on the kid’s shenanigans. He’s the worst.
Giving me a reproachful grimace, my mom places her hands on her waist and snaps out, “Jelena, why aren’t you done packing your bags? You better hurry up because we need to leave before traffic gets bad.” Jeering in reply, I roll up one of my t-shirts into a ball and toss it haphazardly into my bag. “Seriously, mom, do I have to go? I mean, I’m eighteen years old, and I’m going to Cal State in September. Frankly, I’d rather spend my summer hanging out with Kaya and Sophie.”
My mom’s lips twist into a wry smile. “Yes, Jelena, you have to go. And that is one of the reasons why. In a couple of months, you’ll be going off to college, and it would be nice for all of us to have a nice family vacation before you abandon us. Come on, the Morgans are coming too. It’ll be fun.”
I roll my eyes and continue to fold my clothes. The Morgan’s are my parent’s best friends. They have a little boy about Jesse’s age named Ricky, and like Jesse, he’s a real brat.
It looks like I’m going to be the fifth wheel on this ride. Which, I guess, makes it a good thing. At least I don’t have to entertain anyone. Since I have no choice but to do, I can use my solitary time to catch up on my reading.
Grabbing my tiniest bikini, I pack it inside my bag too.
Hey, if I’m going to get stuck in the middle of nowhere, I’m going to tan.
“Fine, but don’t complain when I want to take a vacation with my friends next year.”
My mom rolls her eyes and is about to say something when my little brother Jesse begins squirming in her arms. Sighing in frustration, my mom lowers him to the ground and mutters. “Oh, Jelena, honey. I know you want to be with your friends. But you need to understand that moments like these are going to be few. Just let me and your dad have this last memory. Now, you have two minutes to get your butt downstairs.”
Lips tight, I don’t argue further as I zip my bag.
It’s not that I don’t like hanging out with my family. But this was supposed to be my summer. Kaya, Sophie, and I were planning on going to parties, meet boys, and hang out at the beach.
Wrapping the bag’s strap around my shoulder, I take one last look in the mirror and pull my long wavy dark hair up in a ponytail.
As I make my way down the hall, I take one last glimpse at my reflection in a nearby mirror. My green eyes sparkle, and my skin glows. Preening, I smile at my reflection. I have to say that my tan is holding up well. But then again, I have naturally olive skin. I’m not very tall at five foot three, but I think I’m pretty with high cheekbones, long lashes, big doe eyes, and a button nose. I’m also very athletic, so my body is fit. I used to be on the school’s swim team, debate, choir, and dance. I also have nice boobs and a shapely butt.
People say I look like my mom. That she and I can be sisters. Except for the fact that I have green eyes like my dad.
My little brother Jesse looks a lot more like my dad. He has light hair and green eyes.
My dad is a very famous artist, and my mom is a yoga instructor. My dream is to become a writer. I love writing love stories. Right now, I’m working on a story about a girl who falls in love with an angel.
Too bad that real life is not like that.
Taking one last look around my room, I pick up my table and sneak my cell phone into my backpack. Before I leave, I send one final message to Kaya and Sophie. Heading out, ladies. I’ll miss you. L
Once I’ve sent my heartfelt wishes, I head down the stairs. My dad’s already outside trying to jam all the cases into our SUV. Stopping beside him, I pass him my duffel bag and lean on the SUV’s frame. “That’s all, Dad.”
My dad pushes the bags in and gives me a wide smile. “Ready to go, sweetheart?”
I shrug my shoulders. “Yeah, I guess.”
He laughs lightly at my unaffected tone and tweaks my nose playfully. “Don’t worry, baby, you’ll be back before you know it. Remember, this old man only has a little bit of time before his little girl leaves the nest. After all, you don’t know how long I’ll be around.”
I roll my eyes at his comment. Old man, my foot. My dad is tall, fit, and lean. Some of my friends say he’s cute. Seriously gross!
Most people say that my parents make an attractive couple. My dad is strong, and my mom is petite. They’re both in their early forties but still look like they’re in their early thirties.
A snicker escapes my lips when my dad gives me an innocent pout. “Yeah, right, dad. I can see one of your feet is halfway to the grave─cause you know, you’re so old. Is that gray hair I see?” I mutter sarcastically.
My dad runs his fingers through his light brown hair with a fake reproachful glare. “Get in the car, Mrs. Smarty pants.”
Quirking a brow, I flip my hair and settle in the back seat with my headphones on. As we drive through the streets, I give my neighborhood a whistful look and sigh. Hopefully, this vacation will not totally suck.
Jelena and Traeger’s First ChristmasJelena I rest my head on Traeger’s shoulder and inhale his manly scent. My body feels satisfied and replete as he caresses his fingers up and down my naked back. As I trace invisible patterns across his abs, I think about how happy I’ve been. The twinkling lights of the Christmas tree bathe us in a variety of colors, and the sweet melodic sounds of carols permeate the air. “How did you like your first Christmas?” I mutter against his velvety neck. Traeger’s chest expands beneath my ear, his breathing finally becoming steady after our heated bout of love
TraegerJelena and I have been together for over five months, and I have never been happier. That’s why I decided that tonight I’m going to invite Jelena to move in with me. To some, it might be too fast, but to me, it feels right. I mean, we’re soulmates, and I know that I will never love another the way I love her. Not only did she teach me what love is, but she taught me how to live. Because of her, my packmates and I are free.Right now, my packmates are settled in their own places. They make an effort to pay their respects to me at least twice a week.Another thing that surprised me was seeing Dorian. He came over to the house a couple of days ago. Apparently, he was also offered a position to be a professor at Cal State. He is going to teach literature. I’m no surprised that he was hired to teach literature. When we lived in the institute, the doctors would keep him calm by giving him books. Sometimes, he’d read
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been teaching Traeger about everyday things. The best part was when Mikhail invited him to his house to play Xbox. The look on his face when he asked me what an Xbox is, was priceless. Typical of the male species, he loved it. I had to roll my eyes when he bought one of his own, along with all the gadgets he could find. He and Mikhail are now on the same Call of Duty team. I have to roll my eyes at that one.Right now, we’re getting ready to meet my parents for Thanksgiving. I look at Traeger, who is gripping the steering tightly as we wind our way to my house and settle my hand on his hip. “Don’t worry, babe, my family will love you.”I know he’s been worried about meeting my family. Considering he doesn’t have a family of his own, I can see why he’s nervous.His clear eyes light up with untold emotion as he takes my hand in his and kisses it. “I guess I’m just worr
JelenaIt has been a while since I last saw Traeger. I miss him so much. After I was “rescued” from the forest. I was taken to a hospital to have myself checked over. They asked me a lot of questions. Especially how I survived. I told them that I had taken a water bottle and a few protein bars. Which was made valid when Traeger left a few empty bottles and wrappers. He also placed my swim bag in the spot to prove that I carried water and protein bars for a walk. Thankfully, the police didn’t find the bag in my house, because I had left it at the campsite by mistake. I told him about it when we were planning my “rescue.” He went back for it, ran it through some dirt and threw it near the empty bottles.My parents showed up in the hospital looking happier than I’ve ever seen them. After several happy cries and hugs, we went back to the cabin. I was not allowed out of my parent’s sight after that. We went home days l
Chapter 26: Next StepTraegerIt doesn’t take long to get to the Institute. We park a few miles down, making sure we’re not spotted. A few miles ago, we turned off all the lights in our vehicles and drove in the dark. One of the upsides of being Supernatural is that we have excellent night vision. There are still Lycans out looking for me. Unfortunately for the doctors, the Lycans are not reporting that they’ve seen us. They still assume that my men are under the control of the receptors.I send a telepathic message to the Lycans in the Institute. Letting them know that we are here. A few of them will clear the front entrance, which has been fortified since I escaped. We all break off into groups. Mathias, Mikhail, Azazel, and I lead. I send a message to Arsenal and Grey, who are supposed to be unlocking the doors. After a few moments, the doors open. Arsenal and Grey are both waiting inside with weapons in their hands.I mov
JelenaTraeger and I are both lying face to face in one of the cabin’s rooms. My leg is lying over his, and his hand is on my back. I run my hand up and down his back, thinking about what was said earlier. Mathias and the rest of the Council enforcers decided that they’d wait till deep into the night to go to the Institute. Traeger was able to contact Arsenal and Grey telepathically, giving them a heads up on the plan. According to them, the Institute is in an uproar. They sent several men to search for us.Nevaeh and Cassia turned out to be really nice. We were delighted to find out that we’d attend Cal. State together. Cassia already graduated, but she said she’d give me a tour. I learned about her and Mathias’ love. I was also shocked to find out that Mathias’ is Nevaeh’s dad. Apparently, angels and many other supernatural beings are immortal. Even though Mathias looks like he’s in his twenties, he is actually thousand
Chapter 24: I’m the AlphaTraeger’sDr. Monroe sneers at our attempts to retain control. “Very well, Traeger, if this is how it is. You leave us no choice.” He takes his cell phone out and presses a few buttons. Suddenly, all of the men begin shifting angrily. Their eyes begin to glow, and their claws grow. We back away slowly as the men in my pack take several threatening steps forward. I keep Jelena behind me until something pulls her away from me. I look back, ready to kill whoever is touching her. Dorian is holding her against him, his chest heaving. They’ve enabled the receptors. Dr. Monroe and Dr. Spencer gaze into my eyes expectantly. Almost as if they're waiting for something to happen. That’s when I realize that they expect me to fall in line. They don’t know that I had the receptors removed. I look towards my pack members.“STAND DOWN!” I shout angrily. The doctors’ speculation turns to
JelenaI open my eyes, feeling my head pounding. This time instead of the lab, I’m in a large empty room. The room is just as barren as the other one I woke up in. I stand up on shaky legs, feeling a little nauseous. Whatever the doctor gave me is still in my system. I slowly make my way around the room and almost fall when I realize that my ankle is shackled to a wall.Suddenly, the front door opens. The man from earlier walks in. “You’re awake. Good.” I back up towards the wall. He tilts his head sideways, and his eyes narrow. He gives me the once-over with a sneer on his face. It makes me feel like a bug under a microscope. “You know…Traeger saw you. We had to incapacitate him to keep him from killing anyone. Now, here’s a question for you, little girl. Why would Traeger go completely berserk over a girl he barely met?” I swallow deeply, understanding the repercussions of his question. I try to calm my heart, st
Traeger It’s late at night. Arsenal, Grey, and I are sitting in my room discussing what the council proposed. I narrow my eyes thoughtfully while Arsenal begins to pace. “We have to get back in that room.” He mutters in a determined voice. I nod my head. “Yeah, there has to be some way to get this done.” Grey settles himself on my bed. “Maybe we can set some kind of distraction. All of the doctors went on red alert when Dorian went berserk.” I slump down in my chair, placing my thumb and index finger over my forehead. “Yeah, we need to figure something out.” Has anything happened today? They both look at each other in question. “No…I mean, the doctors have been pretty quiet today. It’s actually weird because they haven’t run any tests or anything.” I nod my head, feeling a sense of unease.My t
