Matty and I were sitting inside of his father’s Alpha office, both us listening to his Dad, Alpha Aaron droning on about pack logistics or something. I may have switched off about five minutes after he started talking, because in all honesty he made things sound so damn boring…

My eyes drifted around the office, looking to the familiar pictures on the wall. I knew them well by now after many training sessions with my pack Alpha. All arranged in preparation for me taking over the title of Beta from my father. I let my eyes fall upon the picture of my parents with my Alpha and Luna, before either me, my sister or Matty had come along. All in their younger years. Beaming smiles upon their faces, drinks within their hands as they sat at a pack barbeque. All happy. My heart ached. So much had changed...

I felt Matty’s head suddenly thud into my shoulder, and had to hold back a smirk as I looked down to my friend who was currently asleep, his head having fallen onto my shoulder as he dozed

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 35 - Carter

    Beta Kian had stalked away without so much as a second glance in my direction after he had given me my warning. A warning that still made little sense. And having watched his back disappear into the distance, I found myself loitering. Unsure where to go and what to do next. An unease had settled over me. And over my wolf...I already did not particularly like the Alpha and Beta of Eldermoon Pack, and had only ever agreed to a business agreement for the potential benefit of the contacts they held. But, there was something about the way that man spoke that made me suspicious. He was dishonest. There was a darkness about him that I could not put my finger upon; and coming from me, a man whom many would consider of great darkness, I had a feeling it was a serious judgement for me to make.We had already been suspicious. That was what had brought us back here to begin with, but Beta Kian's words had only added to it now. Were the two instances linked? That I would not like to say; but ther

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 34 - Carter

    I took a gentle walk back toward the packhouse. Not in any real hurry, for I had a feeling that the fucking Alpha was going to do all he could to prove to us that we were the ones at his beck and call. His plan was more than obvious, and that was one where he kept us hanging around. Trying to prove he was the boss. He would learn to regret that. Because the longer he left us sitting around, the more time we had to look into the death of my warrior. And, when I had the evidence I needed, I would be making the fucker pay.But, in order to do that, I also needed to try to get the feeble little she-wolf on side. That was going to take time. Time and effort. Effort I was not entirely sure whether I was ready to put in. It would mean being nice. And it would mean her being around us more than she likely had to be. Yet, if that was going to be our plan, it may well fail, because, so far, at the first chance of a break, she had fled.I did not understand her sudden need to go running home, bu

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 33 - Mari

    The second I walked through the door of my family home, he was there. The man I hated most in the world. Moving from the lower step of the staircase where he had been seated, like he had been waiting for me. A bottle by his side. His darkened gaze focused upon me while he moved. A gaze that I was certain there was no longer anything behind. Darkness. Dead. Numbness. No real feeling. No emotions. I swore he was dead inside. A shell of the man he used to be. And that was a terrifying thought. Because a man that was dead inside, in my opinion, had no conscience. My father was certainly starting to prove that...“Nothing is cooking. And the chores are not completed.” He snarled angrily, as he approached. I quickly moved to make a step away from the doorway. I simply nodded, knowing better than to argue with him.The moment I made that move to step by him, he gripped my arm. Intoxicated or not, he still had his rapid reactions, and he was not about to let me walk away from him. He clearly

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 32 - Mari

    Hearing Alpha Carter snapping at me that way, like he wondered why I was leaving them alone, had made me feel beyond uncomfortable. I knew I had responsibilities to be there to assist them when needed, but unknown to them, I had responsibilities at home too. And I was still expected to fulfill them regardless of my duties with the pack. So, at any given opportunity, I would take a break and return home to complete chores within my spare time. I planned to get up earlier to make a start, as well as prepare food, and put it into the slow cooker so it would be prepared for my father and my brother upon their arrival home, if I was not back in time. And, I would work late into the night to finish any remaining chores if needed. It would be draining. I would struggle. But, this was not a long-term plan. It was just for the duration of Alpha Carter's visit.I knew that if these things were not done I would be punished worse than usual. Being there to assist a visiting Alpha would not change

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 31 - Carter

    The weak girl had taken me back to my room. In her bid to be the overly polite she-wolf she appeared to be, she continued to try to fill the awkward silence by pointing out various features of the packhouse which were en-route. And, in doing so, I do not know if she realized that she had allowed me to build some knowledge within my mind of how to get around her packhouse. Or at least I was able to save the route from my room to the Alpha office. Information now all stored within my memory, and in my mind, that was all I needed.The moment we found ourselves standing awkwardly outside my room, with her eyes looking everywhere but at me, like she was questioning what she should do now, as I refused to head back inside, Mari suggested that we see if Hudson and Sonny would like some coffee. She said she would take us to their lounge area where we could relax and watch TV, or play the games consoles that they had set up there. I had no doubt my friends would appreciate that offer, and, as

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 30 - Mari

    I could see irritation flashing in the eyes of my Alpha, and I had to fight hard to hold back the smile wanting to come out as Alpha Carter quite honestly made him look like a fool. I was certain Alpha Carter was enjoying taunting Alpha Aaron. The more I watched him around my Alpha, or listened to him talk about him, the more intrigued I was as to why the Alpha would return here to create any sort of business arrangement with a man he so clearly detested. And one he evidently thought was little more than a fool. It seemed to make so little sense. Alpha Aaron ought to consider himself blessed that our pack was being offered this opportunity, because Alpha Carter and his business prowess were renowned. Other than a few beneficial contacts, I could think of nothing that my pack nor my Alpha had to offer...Darkness passed over the face of Alpha Aaron, so I knew anger was about to be leashed if I lingered much longer. But, Alpha Carter had requested me to accompany him back to hs room, so
