ShaneAfter that day on the stairs, I've kept my distance from Adea. Her scent, her smell, they drive me crazy. My plan to stay away from her worked for a few years. We saw each other every day but I made sure to avoid her.My friends started to notice her as she started to grow up. Her tits came in, her hips curved, and her ass got fat. I took out my jealousy on her. This way I could speak to her without getting too close.Deciding to make my way down to the kitchen, I put my AirPods in my ears. Rounding the corner I collide with Gabe, "Excuse me, Shane," he says as he moves to the side. I stop and look at him, "Where are you headed?" "I've got to wake Ady, need to make sure she doesn't sleep in," he says bowing his head.I've always hated how close Gabe and Adea were. I met her first yet Gabe's close enough to go to her room. An image of Gabe over Adea makes me frown. I continue walking down the stairs and

Adea I woke up in the morning with the sun blazing through the window. Groaning as I drift out of sleep and back into the terrible hangover that was only worsening by the minute. I don't know which was worse, the drilling in my head or what I remembered from the dream.  Closing my eyes, I try to remember what I can. In my dream, my wolf's name was Korra, and the only difference between this dream and the last is that there was something bad that happened after I was dragged away. Images of my mate's face were blurry but the emotions were all still strong. Who was that after? Who dragged me away? I couldn't see his face but I knew him. I've never been with a man but everything felt so real. He even said my name... I wish there was a witch I could talk to. Witches aren't allowed on pack lands. I sigh, shaking my head in defeat, there goes that idea. Pulling myself up I stare out the window. What's the point of these dreams? Will they ever s

*** Author's Note: !!!! TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter includes sexual violence that may not be suitable for some readers!!!! ***  The next morning I woke up feeling light and bubbly. I love those girls. After a warm shower, I spent my morning prepping a light breakfast for the packhouse in case they stopped in for a small meal. On the weekends I don't have to prep meals because everyone is usually doing their own thing.  I spent the rest of my morning in the library. The walls were decorated with tall shelves filled with books. My favorite spot was a soft white lounge chair by the window. The windows started from the floor and almost went all the way up to the ceiling.  It was always quiet in the library, not many of the she-wolfs came in here to read. By 3 pm I had read 3 books, my body was feeling stiff so I sat up to stretch.  The door to the library swung open and Shane came walking into the room. He sca

Ethan Being an Alpha means that I must do things on occasion that I don't want to do, hosting the Cresent Moon Ball is one of those things. I hate being surrounded by strangers, all of them flitting around my territory. I don't do chitchat and I don't pretend to like people. I prefer spending my time in the woods, patrolling my borders, training my warriors, and the occasional she-wolf or two. Sadly, the packs have voted and the Crescent Moon Ball will be held here on my territory. I've been the Alpha of my pack since I took over and we haven't been to any functions unless 100% necessary. It's been scarce. I was one of the youngest Alphas and because of that other packs thought that I needed to prove myself. We are one of the strongest packs in the United States.  I do take pride in the fact that we are also one of the wealthiest. I push every pack member not only in training but also in their academics and because of that we have had a lot of new busine

Chapter 19 Giving my lashes one last coat of mascara, Nikki leans back to inspect my face. She hasn't let me look at myself yet and I'm kind of getting nervous. This was going to be a good night. This was going to be a good night. I kept repeating the mantra in my head like I was whispering a spell.  Nikki sighs, "So this is love," she sings as she twirls me around to look at myself at the full-length mirror on the wall. I was killing the smokey eye, my eyeliner was perfectly winged. My long brown hair had big loose curls in them and fell effortlessly down my back. My lips were plump and pink. My chin came to a point, and my cheekbones weren't super high, but they were high enough. I've never thought of myself as attractive but the woman looking back at me was breathtaking.  A shriek broke me from my trance, I look to see that Mavy had come in and by the shriek, she loves the way I look. "Oh my gosh Adea, you look SO good. We chose the right
