SEVEN YEARS LATER I found Tyler sitting with his hands beneath his chin, looking the most depressing since I've seen him since birth. He's not one to sit around, the moon knows it's taken Ginny a hundred curses and a few thousand mind links to find him anywhere. Yes, he's just as adventurous as his mother. Tyler can't sit still for a minute. Hence the reason seeing him this stationary, causes me stress."What's wrong?" I ask kneeling before him.Tyler turns away, his pout becoming longer. He doesn't want me to help. Ever since he found out that he'll become Alpha one day, courtesy of Channing's big mouth, he's attempted to do everything on his own. I let him. Nothing quells a fighting spirit like unbelief."Sometimes little Alpha's need advice too Tyler.""You don't listen to Channing," He points out painfully."That's different, he's an idiot sometimes." I shouldn't be giving him such a shitty response, knowing at this age he was like a sponge. But the offending words are already o

THREE YEARS PRIOR"That's not enough a reason to of a reason to release her to you," The arrogany bastard mutters. "Release her?" I scoffed at his choice of words. "Grayson left her here because he thought she would have been safer around her own. She isn't some cattle that you throw around when you want." "And you voice has no place here," He painfully reminds me. I stand taller, folding my arms across my chest. I wasn't moving an inch unless she told me to. "I demand to see Marie. I brought her here and if she wants me to leave, she has to tell me herself." "It's fine, Willoby," A voice calls, a young woman walking forward, her red hair caught in a bun. "Get back to work everyone, nothing to see here," Willoby calls to the surrounding occupants, gripping Marie by the arm before whisphering something in her ear. Another rile glare over his shoulder and the bully leaves us be. Seven years, I remind myself. She was a child then, terrified and shattered by a world that was too cr

A BITTER PILL Ever since daybreak my body hummed beneath a new vibration, as if there was a new moon. I chalk it up to anxiety of having to meet the petty Alpha's today and after Alpha King Xavier's late declaration of not joining his own meeting, I know that things could escalate fast.Will escalate as a matter of fact. Ugh, this was not what I signed up for when I joined forces with that pain in the ass demon. "Are you okay?" Marie asks as we walk through the barrcks, taking inventory of what everyone needs. The other two girls, Chelse and Mary were behind us passing us blankets and bread that were freshly made this morning.I scrub at the mark on my neck, wincing as fevent heat suddenly hums at the location. The growing pain and sweating was almost unbearable today. "Yes, just fine," I answer holding the area."Let me finish taking inventory and you rest up.""No, you both have training to finish up and I have to see to a few other things."I do breathing exercises continously

WITHIN THE WALLS "You look defeated," Marie observes."I feel miserable," I respond.The moon was high in the blackened dome above, the wind like glacial waters after a fiery summer day."I take it, it didn't go well?""Going well is a bloody understatement. I was wiped clean on the floor," I explain to Marie. "Sounds like you need this more than me," She hands me a flask that she had been nursing for some time now. "Moonshine. Traded it for the duck meat I had today.""You traded food for drink?" I ask incredulously. "You do understand we might be out of meat for awhile?""That is what you should be negotiating with the Alpha's for,""You don't think our freedom is worth fighting for either?""If I didn't, I wouldn't be here," Marie reminds me flatly.I take her offering, swallowing down mouthful after mouthful, needing something to distract me from my thoughts. I knew it would be difficult convincing those rascals about joining forces, but I never thought they would slight the Alph

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE Kole was busy gathering the new coats I had commissioned for Tyler and myself, and I had thought of gifting one to Ginny as well. Diana had crossed my mind, a gift for all the hard work she has done over the years but I'm still indecisive over that fact. My feet takes me to a winding stairwell, an unknown force pulling me in the direction of the cellars, but not quite that low. No light illuminates the passage way and I grab a torch, lighting it at a burning ember before going down the darkened hallway. The wind whistles in from an open window, opening and slamming every time as it knocks and forces itself in. I pause my steps, studying the small fixture to stem the resounding pounding that echoed through the halls. The torches against the walls immediately light up, shadows fleeting at the sight of bright yellow rays. There's a loud rumble that sings from the end of the halls, the sound of rumbling waters that has burst from it's cage, forcing my eyebrows to f
