"He cannot go it's too dangerous for him. The full moon is in two weeks." Pandora slammed her fist down hard on the table in the family's meeting room.I stood at the entrance of the doorway as I listened. The room was filled with different opinions that made the oxygen and atmosphere thick with tension. I decided to keep my opinions to myself not wanting to get into a fight with anyone else in Creed's family."But if he doesn't go the others are going to ask questions, Dora. Being chosen to defend and protect especially during one of the most dangerous times of the year is an honor," Jared spoke up.Pandora narrowed her eyes."Do not give me a speech on honor. This is your brother's life we talking about. If someone notices the slightest supernatural tendency in him they will kill him on the spot and we will all be deemed untrustworthy and killed." I looked over at Creed and he sat at the table uninterestedly as his family

The first two nights of searching for a fae were unsuccessful. The bars in this town were bleak and dead it wouldn't even attract the best of the natural let alone the supernatural.Creed was going to be back in three days and we had nothing. I never would have contemplated how hard it was to find a fae. Elias and I didn't stop looking. We had been researching more about the rare creatures during the day and searching for them in clubs and bars during the nights.Dallas hadn't paid much attention to what Elias and I were up to but Dominique was always there to question us or berate me about my intentions with her brothers.It was a cool night and Elias and I had just finished checking the last bar. "That's it. We have to go to Phoenix." He unlocked the car door for me to get in."What are we going to tell Dallas?" I buckled my seatbelt."Road trip to visit your family or something. We'll make s

"I want to meet in person. I believe we can help each other. I know the fate that awaits Alpha Creed after his first shift and we cannot allow his death. We've waited a decade for our Alpha. Meet me at the edge of the forest at eleven assuming you getting this message on Thursday. Come alone and Eleanora I will know if you don't. I have your scent." The video stopped and I felt all the hair on my body stand. We were being watched, assumingly by wolves.I began digging in the nightstand where I hid the book Liam gave me about the wolves. I found the book and went straight to the page about the hierarchy of the wolves.It didn't make sense, according to the book Creed would have to be an Alpha's firstborn son to become alpha of a pack. It was the same as a Royal hierarchy.All I knew about Creed's birth parents was that they were killed by wendigo's and that was according to Dallas because Creed was a baby when it happened.

As I walked to the house with Hera everyone picked up their heads and looked in our direction. "They all staring at me," I whispered to Hera and she chuckled."Word to the wise El. Whispering around wolves is as subtle as screaming in a person's face." I looked at all of them who stopped what they were doing to look at me. "Goodness you guys are creeping her out," Hera told them and they looked away immediately and continued with what they were initially doing. "Sorry, they just probably curious on why you here so soon." She walked onto the porch of the tall brick-colored house and pulled open the door. "It's your home now," she said extending her arm for me to walk in first. I stepped into the house and my eyes roamed the room.Natural light flooded the house as various leafy plants decorated the corners. The walls were painted an eggshell color and the room had a clean theme of whites and browns. In the center of the room was a

Hera looked nervous as she observed Creed from outside the infirmary. Careful for him not to see her, she stood by the door and peeped at him like a frightened child. The hold he had on this wolf pack still amazed me. They would do anything for Creed yet he hated them and wanted nothing to do with them.He had ordered that none of them come near him and they obeyed and stayed out of the room claiming it was a direct order from their Alpha and they had already disrespected him.I on the other hand didn't care what Mr. Grumpy pants had to say. He wasn't my alpha so I stayed by his side though he snarled, grunted, and growled at my presence. My skin had gotten thick around him and I was used to the hostile silence we shared.It was better than talking to each other because we would end up arguing. He refused to see anything from anyone else's perspective and that infuriated me.I sat in the corner of the room
