*Abby*Ugh, I need a glass of wine, I think to myself as I open the door to my suite. Wyatt didn’t leave me alone at all since I told him that I had thought about looking into an arranged mating. I think there was something else he wanted to say to me but had no idea how to continue the conversation.It's all for the best I guess, I still have no idea what I want to do. As I pour my glass to the brim, I walk to the bay windows and look out to the stars. I wonder how logical it would be to knock these out and make them into doors... a balcony here would be nice, I think. Before walking away, I open the windows, letting the calm night air begin to fill the room.Shadow jumps on the bed and mews at me as I turn off all the lights and slip under the covers, hoping that tomorrow is a little easier than today.~~~What was that?! My head pops off the pillow and I look around sleepily. I thought I heard a sound... I try to use my nose, but it is stuffed and useless. I’m a little more alert a

*Abby* I smile pleasantly as I listen to one of the other alphas here at Young Alpha Conrad’s ascension ceremony. Quietly I swirl the red wine in my glass as they mention the number of rogues that they have caught and killed. It’s a good thing I listened to my dad and brother and brought more guards with me than normal. I glance at my brother who is talking and laughing with the new beta of this pack. Beta Kevin just ascended right after Alpha Conrad and Luna Daniele took their new positions. I hid a smile as my brother started to laugh at something Kevin said, it seemed like he was having fun. I sipped my glass as the group I was standing with started to make small talk again. “So, Alpha Abigail, how are you acclimating to the Alpha role?” One of the older alphas asked me. Goddess help me, I forgot his name. “Well, it’s a different world.” I responded politely. “But, in honesty, I think I am getting the hang of it.” “That’s right, you were originally going to be a beta?” Anoth

*Wyatt*“Get them all to the hospital! Now!” I ordered as soon as we left the cars. “And from this moment on, no matter what any of you heard, you will NOT speak of what happened in the clearing! That is an order!” I felt a ping of pain in my head, I am not used to pushing out so many commands at one time and I am nearing my limit.“Yes Beta!” They all resounded. One of the guards still had one of the more injured females in his arms, fully cementing that yes, they were mates. I glanced worriedly at Abby again, she was still staring at the broken male in the backseat of our car. If he really was her second chance mate, we were in for a long road ahead of us.“Douglas, from now on you are responsible for that man as well.” I stated as the head guard nodded. He was Abby’s personal guard for years, as my father assigned him when Abby turned 16. By then I was old enough to protect myself and a lower ranked elite was assigned to me. As if on cue Bethany walked up on my off side. “Bethany,

Kitten??? What??? Why??? HOW?! As she talked more to the Elder, I just sat there in awe, why isn’t she looking at me? She is still talking to the Elder, something about having to throw someone in the dungeon? What? Does she have that kind of power here? To throw someone in the dungeon??? Who is she??? Finally, her eyes drift over to me, sitting up in the bed. Her eyes, they were mostly blue, but with a slight green hue mixed in. I was drowning in them. Many different emotions flashed through her eyes, most of them I couldn’t figure out. But there was one I did see. Regret. Of course, I am nothing after all. A sub-omega. Her next words were directed to me and shocked me to my core. “Hello, I am Alpha Abigail Hope Winters. Welcome to our pack, the Lunar Snow pack.” “Alp-Alpha?” I struggled to get out. “My father and brother told me that you needed to change your name before you could be sworn in. Have you picked your name yet?” She looked at me with a stoic expression on

*Mike* Finally, Trevor released my hand. “But I’m holding you up, go and get your food, we will save a seat for you.” He smiled, but his eyes darted to behind me, where Mason and Jay were standing. His smile dropped slightly. “Did you two forget training this morning? Gamma Scott was upset.” Jay scoffed. “Whatever, I’ll do double tomorrow.” “Double? If you have that energy, you can do triple.” I turned to look at Angie who was standing behind them with her arms crossed. “And report to Tracker Training tonight as well.” “What??? You can’t do that!!!” He growled, his face turning red. “Yes, she can. And she did.” Stuart glared back at him. “Or, if you prefer, we can take it to Alpha. Again.” Mason’s eyes lit up for a split second before it was gone. “Um, I don’t think Abby needs to be...” “Alpha Abigail.” Stuart corrected. “That is her name. Remember it.” Jay rolled his eyes again before huffing. “Whatever.” He growled before walking around them, still glaring. “I mean, y
