2025-02-24 02:00:02*** Winter’s POV ***
I was laying on my stomach in bed when I heard something crash in the living room. Sitting up, I listened intently. Sure enough, something else broke and shook the walls of the house. Footsteps thundered down the stairs until Hannah started yelling to stop. Even Rebecca wouldn’t go that far. That meant that it was my dad.
Scrambling up, I grabbed my backpack and shoved my books into the bag. Not just that but I grabbed an extra set of clothes, some snacks that I had hidden, and a few of my travel sized toiletries. Opening up the window quietly, I slipped out. They probably wouldn’t hear me since it sounded like a heard of elephants was stampeding through the living room right now.
Closing the window behind me, I crept along the roof before I slipped around the side. Just as I did, the door to my room slammed open.
Dad’s volume could be heard even with the window being clos

Luna Ember didn’t say anything for a while. “We had a meeting about the future leadership for the pack. We didn’t decide on anything but we did pretty much invalidated your Dad’s picks.”“Picks? I thought he only had Rebecca as his replacement.”“I won’t go into it. He wasn’t happy when he left the meeting. I…we…never thought it would be bad enough to turn on you though. Damian and I hoped that we would adjust his anger away from you towards Caspian.”I cocked my head to the side and then it clicked. “The rumor that Mr. Penn was going to be Beta…that was you.”“Exactly. You really are too smart for your own good.” Luna Ember chuckled but it fell off fairly quickly. “Are you safe?”“I am. I’ve got multiple layers of security between me and outside.” I looked around the room at all my books. “I have to go home eventually though. I can’t stay here.”She sighed. “I know. Damian is trying to get him to calm down. I’m sorry, Winter.”

Looking past her and Mr. Penn, Dee gave me a smile and a small wave. I looked from Krista’s brother back to her.“Your brother graduated.”“He did.”“But he’s here.”“He is.”“Why?” I asked looking back at him.Krista scoffed. “For you. Mom wanted to make sure you had some muscle on your side. Just in case. He’s just gonna…shadow you today in your classes.”“Absolutely not.” I put my arms up and crossed them. “Hell no. I don’t need protection.”“You do though.”I scoffed. “You think having Dee here is going to make things better? If Dad did show up, and he saw Dee, all hell would break loose. I don’t even want to think about what would happen.” I slung my backpack over my shoulder. “It’s like you guys don’t remember that my dad is the Beta.”“Well, you don’t get a say. Mom was here and…”“She was here? As in…goddess. This cannot…”Krista scoffed and grabbed my wrist before

I knocked on the door to Mr. Penn’s class after school. I’d taken the opportunity after P.E. to take a shower so I was a little later than I probably should have been. However, it did nothing to help my hair situation. Now, I had it up in a wet, frizzy bun on top of my head. Opening the door, Mr. Penn was leaning back in his chair. It was obvious that he was sleeping, his breathing heavier this time.Really, I didn’t want to disturb him but if I left now, I was pretty sure I’d get in more trouble.“Mr. Penn?”His chair fell forward and his eyes flung open. “Winter. Sorry. Give me a moment.”Shaking my head, I stood at the door. “It’s fine. Take your time. I don’t need to be anywhere.”“You do, actually. I need to take you to the pack house. Alpha Damian wanted to speak with you.”He gathered up his bag and a few of the papers on his desk before swinging his b

“I…what?” I couldn’t look away from Alpha.“You defeat Gamma Maddox and you can stay in that house with Beta, his chosen, and the child. However, if you lose, you will be adopted out. You will live in the pack house. You will move on from this childish hyper focus on a piece of property.”Tears sprung to my eyes as I looked at Gamma Maddox. He put his hands up and shook his head. Gamma Maddox probably had been commanded because despite enjoying a good fight, this would be out of character for him. Hell, this was out of Alpha Damian’s character.“Aurik, that’s going too far.” Mr. Penn frowned, his arms crossed over his chest. “Winter doesn’t have the training. You know that.”“Should I just order her instead? Damian wanted to give the pup the chance and this is what I decided. I am done watching, Caspian. I’m done letting this get
Last Updated : 2025-02-26Winter 37. Luck is Half the Battle
Squeezing my eyes shut, I slowly pulled my limbs back to into a position I could try and get up. Everything hurt. Everything felt broken. I was still conscious though. That felt more of a win than anything. It also meant that I wasn’t done. Alpha didn’t realize it, but I’d have every intention of putting my life on the line. There was no giving up. Not when it was the one thing I had left to fight for.Rolling over, I managed to push up on all fours. Slowly, I pulled one foot up and planted it in the grass. I pushed up but let myself fall to the right as I felt a gust of wind blow by me. My eyes widened as I looked at Gamma Maddox’s arm a few inches from my face. It was sunk into the wall behind me.I wouldn’t call it scrambling, not at the pace I was going, but it didn’t look pretty as I forced myself to stand as quickly as I could. Swaying a little bit, I squared up again despite the protest of every single muscle, nerve, bone, and fiber of my being. At some point, i
Last Updated : 2025-02-26Winter 38. Not Just a Weight on My Shoulders
I was sitting up in the hospital bed, a lap-table in front of me, as I did my homework. Krista brought it by every day after school since I was still stuck here. When she came with her mom on Friday after the doctor called her, I was forced to listen to a five minute lecture. It ranged from how much of an idiot I was, to how reckless I was, and back to how much of an idiot I was. Her mom finally stopped her after she started to hyperventilate as she fumed.For the most part, everything was healed. Bones were put back in place and any internal bleeding stopped. On Monday, Gamma Maddox came by to apologize. Though, we ended up talking more about the fight than anything. I knew he was just doing as Alpha requested. I didn’t hold it against him and if anything, it was a good lesson. It hammered home that I still had a long way to go.Dad never came by but I wasn’t surprised about that. What was surprising was that Alpha Damian or even Luna Ember never came by. I thought th

Dee picked me up from the hospital at seven in the morning. He was right on time just as I had gathered my bag and was at the nurses counter signing out. Taking my bag from me, we walked out to the car which was an old beat-up silver Toyota SUV. I gave him a raised eyebrow.“It’s Dad’s. Mine is in the shop and Dad can’t get rid of this thing.” He shivered. “He says both Krista and I were conceived in the back seat of this car and he refuses to get rid of it.”I wrinkled my nose. “That’s gross.”“It really is. Come on. I’ll take you home.” He put his hand up as I opened my mouth. “Before you say anything, I have explicit instructions to take you home and not to school.”Snorting, I shook my head. “Your family is the worst sometimes.”He shrugged and opened the door for me. Once we took off, Dee rolled down the windows and turned up the music. I pulled my hair back so that it wasn’t flying around in the wind. However, the multiple days without my usu
Last Updated : 2025-02-27Winter 40. Understanding
I was startled awake by my door opening. It didn’t slam but I knew better than to be asleep for movement in my room. Dad stood in the doorway and I sat up, blinking away the dream about collecting mushrooms in a forest I didn’t recognize. He didn’t look mad or upset, which was unusual.What he did look was tired. I hadn’t seen him for almost a week but it looked like he aged a few years. He stepped into my room but not very far. Leaning against desk that I had against the wall, Dad crossed his arms over his chest.“You want to tell me what happened?”My brow furrowed. “Didn’t you get told what happened?”“I want you to tell me, Winter. I don’t want three different stories telling me roughly the same thing.”I swallowed and looked down at the book that had fallen when I fell asleep. “From when…”“How did you get beaten so bad that you landed in the hospital?”“I…um…I fought Gamma Maddox.”He nodded. “Why?”“Becau

Winter 104. The Best Laid Plans...
Both of them were breathing heavily as they continued to match each other. The fight was dragging on and I winced when Damian landed his first real hit on Caspian. It was to the side of the head with his fist. Caspian had been expecting a kick, but at the last minute, Damian switched it up and his fist flew at an incredible speed. There were times that I could barely keep up with their movements.Caspian stumbled back, having to set his hand down on the ground for a moment as to not fall back. I felt myself coil up as Damian smirked. He didn’t say anything and there was barely a second taken before he launched into another attack. This didn’t throw Caspian off at all. Instead, when Damian got close enough, Caspian shifted into his wolf.Smiling, I was happy to see the sweet wolf who protected me against Galen a few months ago. I’d never realized it was him until much later. Until one of the times he left a note and raced off in wolf form.He didn’t stay a wolf long though. As Damian o
Winter 103. Fighting To Not Lose
Over the next half hour, more and more of the pack filled the seats. I thought that Damian’s side would be packed to the brim but it was surprisingly more evenly split. I didn’t stand with the Councilors too long, instead, making my way back to everyone. As the arena got louder, I got quieter. Krista shot me smiles when she caught my gaze. Dee came over and put his hand on my head, keeping it there.Everyone hushed again and I thought maybe more of the other Councilors showed up. I was partially right. Councilor Morel and Councilor Dommik stepped in, followed by Damian, Ember, Caleb, Hannah, and Rebecca. We watched as Hannah and Rebecca headed up and took seats in the front row. Neither of them looked good. Dark circles, disheveled hair, and wrinkled clothes; it was my first time seeing either of them like so unkept.Damian, Ember and Caleb stayed down, walking over to the seats that were against the wall at ground level. All of them exuded anger. Councilor Morel and Councilor Dommik
Winter 102. Coming Together
“Dad!” Principal Miles raced up the stairs. “I went to pick you up at the house and you were gone!”“I am perfectly capable of driving myself, Miles. Winter was nice enough to help me to my seat. You make too much of a fuss.”He sighed and ran his hands over his face. “There is too much going on for you to be pulling this now. Everyone is on high alert. They are jumpy and there are a few fights breaking out over the territory.”“So? They should be here if that’s the case. That little shit Galen could only make them party in the town square. Now, we have a real challenge and the whole pack falls apart. Goes to show how strong this pack really is.” Mr. Anderson grumbled.“Something we hope to change.” Maddox stepped up the stairs to us. “Isn’t that right, Winter?”I rolled my eyes. “Stop looking to me. I’m not the one fighting today.”“Where is the Alpha in question?”“Councilor Augustine and Councilor Estella picked him up this morning. I haven’t seen him since.” I sunk my teeth into m
Winter 101. What It Means
I stood in front of the training center. I had been in it plenty of times, especially after Damian tore down the old one and built this huge gymnasium center. The old one was an old crumbing building built in the seventies and it was a hazard itself. Now, the training center was one of the largest buildings in the territory.There were rooms on either side of the center open air grounds. It was about sixty-five yards across in the main fighting area. It was big enough to do mock battles against multiple opponents. That and we could host challenges for anyone within the pack. Separate rooms lined the halls on either side that were full of equipment or one-on-one training areas. Today though, everything would be empty. Maybe for the first time since it was built five years ago.Everything seemed so real now. I could see some of our pack mulling about inside, a few glancing at me standing out front like an idiot. This morning, Councilor Augustine and Councilor Estella came by the house.
Winter 100. Patience
I sat on the edge of my bed, or what used to be my bed. My room hadn’t been touched by the attack on the house. Between all of us, the whole house was empty now. I’d gone the extra mile in taking out the kitchen tile since I didn’t think I needed to have another moment looking at it.The floor creaked and I looked up to see Caspian leaning against the doorframe. He was the only one left now. It was getting dark, but the fire was still active outside. It probably wasn’t good for the environment with all that we were burning, but it felt good. Nothing was left but this room.“Did you not want to get rid of this stuff?”Sighing, I shrugged. “None of this did me wrong. It kept me sane. Kept me safe to some extent.”“Maybe donate it?”“Yeah. Maybe.” I frowned. “Did you want to stay here? Instead of the hotel? It would cost less.”Caspian stepped into the room and sat next to me on the bed. “It’s up to you. I can go either way. We will need to at least have dinner here. The fire needs to go
Winter 99. Burn It Down
Sure enough, as if by clockwork, Hannah was dressed and slammed the door open. She ignored all of us, her head held high as she grabbed the boxes out of the truck. Taking them into the house, she slammed the door. There was some more shouting but for the most part it quieted down.Maddox showed back up at around eleven-thirty with a drink and a smile on his face. We came together, all of us leaning against the cars. Our police were nervously talking amongst themselves. They were worried that they would actually need to arrest their Beta if he decided to make a stand.The front door was thrown open and Hannah set out multiple boxes onto the porch. Maddox groaned as more and more boxes were stacked. Caleb came out and picked up the boxes, angrily throwing them into the truck. This continued for about ten minutes. Rebecca carried her own box out and she looked out at all of us.Her eyes landed on me and the box dropped out of her hands. “You fucking bitch!”Stalking across the lawn, she
Winter 98. Coffee and A Show
I felt giddy as I watched the police move forward. Mr. Vaughn also went with them. One of the police was actually the head of the police for our main town. I knew he was called specifically because Caleb would probably fight this. However, this wasn’t a matter that leadership could take care of. This was all legal.“Anyone bring popcorn?”I chuckled, glancing at Maddox who was pulling a shirt of his head. “No. I’m not trying to make a spectacle out of this.”“Too bad. I brought some, but I need a microwave.”For a moment I thought he was joking until he held up a packet of microwave popcorn. I laughed, letting all the tension out of my body. He smiled and I didn’t realize how much I needed that. It was interesting because even though he joked, Maddox was still what I considered his normal self. Personally, I liked this better. It felt more like him, rather than the facade he put on.“Here they go.”The chief knocked hard on the door, and I sucked in a breath. Grabbing Caspian’s hand,
Winter 97. Checkmark
“Winter.”I groaned, shaking my head. “Five more hours.”The deep chuckle resonated through me, and I felt a hand brush my cheek. “As much as I would like to give it to you, we need to meet everyone at six.”“Who chose the time so early when the entire pack was out until one in the morning?”“You did, my sweet little mate. You chose the time. Also, I don’t think anyone outside of us were up past one. I think we might have killed the party and everyone went home early.”Chuckling, I peeled my eyes open. “Maybe that’s what we will be known for; party killing.”“I think we need to ruin a few more before we usurp Mad from that title.” Caspian smiled.“For someone telling me we need to get up, you haven’t even gotten out of the blankets yet, Mr. Mate.”His eyebrow rose. “Mr. Mate? How dare you.”Leaning over, he kissed me. It felt so incredible and I leaned into it. He, however, pulled back too quickly. Shaking his head, Caspian got out of bed and stretched. I enjoyed him shirtless, but he
Winter 96. May the Moon Goddess Curse Your Soul
I stood next to Gamma Maddox. We were both in the rear of the room, by the fireplace. I’d never seen this many people inside the Alpha’s office before. It was a miracle that we even fit. There was also a clear line drawn in the room itself. All four Councilors were in the room, but they were standing in front of Alpha Damian’s desk at the moment. Being the line that was drawn between our two sides.Caspian was off to the side by the windows, his eyes glancing at me every so often. I gave him a small smile when I caught him. Mr. Anderson and Principal Miles were here as well, both sitting on the couch. Mrs. St James was standing behind an empty chair, but Mr. St James had taken Krista and Dee home. All of them were mulling about on this side of the room.On the other side, were Caleb and Hannah. Both of them argued in hushed tones every so often but I didn’t think it was about this with how Luna Ember glared at them when they did. She was standing right behind Alpha Damian, who was sit
