Chapter TwoJosephineWhen I make sure there is no one around to notice me, I quickly walk up to the car and open the door to see a face that bring a small smile to my face and makes my morning just a little better. She greets me with a big toothy smile. She is beautiful. I think she is much prettier than I am, but she and I just agree to disagree she and I are both about the same height, but she is couple inches taller than me, and she has light brown hair and brown eyes. She has curves too but according to her they aren’t as luscious as mine. Or so she says she is the sweetest person; she is always taking my side on everything. I don’t know what I would do without her.“Hey Sarah. You didn’t have to wait for me you know. I could have made it to school on time.”“Yea, right. When I realized what time, it was when you first came outside, I knew there was no way you were going to make it to school on time.” She is right though, I would have never made it to school on time, and if I ende

Chapter FourJosephineMax, then makes his way back to me and I can’t help but put myself as close to the wall as I can because before today, he never looked my way or said two words to me other than a polite hello. But I think that is only because he is going to be Alpha one day and he makes it known that he is going to be a good alpha and that he likes to make sure his pack is going to be well taken care of and that if anyone has a problem, he wants them to come to him no matter what.“Please stand-up Jo.”When I stand up again, he looks me in the eye, and I have a hard time wanting to keep eye contact with him and I keep looking back and forth between him and the floor. “Josie, are you going to tell me what’s going on or am I going to have to do some digging of my own to find out why you have red marks on your chin.”Crap. Crap. I can’t tell him what happen, if I told Max what’s going on at home, it would make everything so much worse. I can’t tell anyone; Sarah is the only one th

Chapter SixMaxOnce Tiffany is inside my car, I take a moment to try and explain to her that we are not together anymore, and we never will be. But with Tiffany being the airhead that she is I doubt she will understand or even accept it.“Tiffany, you do realize we aren’t together anymore, right? We will never get back together; I need you to understand that. I want to find my true mate and you, and I both know that we are not it for each other.”She gets this look on her face like I just kicked her puppy. I know she isn’t happy about it, but I truly just want to be with my mate, and she knows this. But I’m not sure why she seems to think that we will end up together.“I know Max, I just was hoping that you would see that I could be good for you, and we could be good together. But I know you have always wanted to find your true mate. But there isn’t any harm in still being friends, right? Maybe even friends that have fun together?”I can’t help but internally roll my eyes at her. I t

Chapter EightJosephineWhen I make my way home, I begin to prepare dinner right away, after everything that happened last night, I don’t want to set off my parents or sister today. So, I try to keep myself quiet and do as I am told. I have the markings on my wrists to show for my disobedience from yesterday when I was mean to Tiffany, she is the daughter of the Alpha’s Gama and, my dad is the Alpha’s Beta but because I don’t get why my wolf won’t let me tell my parents about her. All she tells me is that when the time is right, and I can reveal everything. Well, I want that time to be now. But she keeps telling me to keep quiet, and that the moon goddess has a plan for us. I am treated worse than the Omegas that we have that help take care of the pack. Even the Omegas are treated fairly, they are not treated like slaves, they are given the right work in the packhouse for the Alpha for a decent wage and they get free room and board if they want and a way to earn that room and board i

Chapter TenMaxThe next day, I make sure to wake up early to make sure everything is in order. I haven’t been able to do anything for this in a week. I have had to sit by and watch her come to school with bruises and marks all over her. I know she has tried to hide them, but just the way she has been acting and by what she has been wearing I can tell. Things have been getting worse for her at home.I need to do everything I can to protect my mate. I need to get her out of the horrible place that she has called home. That is not a home. Everything is almost in order, there is just one more thing that needs to be clarified. My dad is waiting on a call from the council, we need approval from them before I can be allowed to tell her she is my mate. They are taking longer than normal with making their decision which is odd. I just need them to hurry up and decide so I can have my mate with me. I miss her and she doesn’t even know she is my mate. This is what tends to happen in the werewol
