"Hey, are you okay?" Alpha Kaden asked me, his facial expression did not match the concern in his voice.I nodded once, " please put me down." I tried to avoid his gaze.He set me to my feet and stuffed his hands into his pocket, "it's time for pack run, I'll let you and your mom sit this one out, taking an oath to a new pack can be very draining, you should rest."I was so glad I didn't have to join them after what happened downstairs."Yes," I paused, trying to process this without any worries, "alpha."Faintly, I noticed that one corner of his lips tried to pull into a smirk. We headed out of his office and my mom was talking to Riggs about something, they both turned their heads to look at us on arrival.How did my mom not look the least affected? My head still hurt so bad and my legs were wobbly and threatening to give way soon if I didn't find a bed.My mom and Riggs came up to us and I could still sense that weird feeling with my mom. She put one arm around me and bowed her hea

Shayla POVI woke up to a tingling sensation running down my belly. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on sleeping, hoping it would go away on its own, I Was still tired out from last night’s events and wanted nothing more but to be asleep right now.When I noticed the foreign object was now trailing down into my pants, I snapped my eyes open. I calmed realising it was only Ash. With a weak smile, I turned around so I was facing him, his hands moving to my waist while I cupped his cheek. His hand on my waist pulled me closer to him so my body was pressed against his chest."Good morning," I called, trying to stretch in the crammed up tent. I had cramps all over me."I want to ask if you slept well but I'm pretty sure none of us did." Ash's deep husky morning voice always had the same effect on me no matter how many times I'd heard it. Goosebumps trailed up my skin and a sensation grew beneath my thighs.I opened my mouth to say something in response when he tcaptured my lips in his o

"Oh it's nothing at all alpha, I was just heading downstairs for pack training " Riggs commented with a straight face. He bowed his head a little and walked past me. My cheeks burned in embarrassment as alpha remained holding my wrist while my free hand tried to hold my towel in place. I couldn’t get over the fact that he had just seen me naked.I dared to look up at Riggs and found a smirk on his face and he just winked at me and hell that did not do well to make me feel better in any way.As soon as Riggs had left us both in the room, alpha turned to look at me, "are you okay? You should be watchful of your steps."I pulled free from his hold, keeping my eyes on the ground and nodding fast as I sprinted up the steps not wanting to meet his gaze for any reason."You took a while." My mom called to me once I was alone with her in the bedroom. I nodded, avoiding saying anything so I wouldn't get in trouble.I changed into a sports bra I'd packed and matching black shorts and joined my

When I rejoined The crowd outside there weren’t too many people looking at me like I expected them to. I lowered my gaze and realised that the training had started. I felt awkward participating. Alpha Kaden was nowhere to be seen. I helped myself to a corner and watched the training. It was basically the warriors training the werewolves how to fight. I should have been patient and waited until the fight to beat Shadow's ass.I wanted to head back upstairs but I knew it would only drew unnecessary attention to me.I wrapped my arms around my body, I really didn't belong here.“Hey,” Jack's familiar voice called beside me.“Aren't you going to join the rest of the wolves?” I buried my face in my palm, thinking back to how I'd disrespected Alpha Kaden. It didn't matter much how he treated me when we were alone, I should have given him the ultimate respect.Jack sat down beside me regardless and shrugged his shoulders.“Ugh, you must hate me too.” I groaned, sighing and shaking my head at

He lifted his hand to hit him again when I jerked to my feet and stood between them, holding his wrist, "alpha!"I pulled my straps back on, panting heavily, "it's a misunderstanding."It was as though I wasn't present in the room as he faced Beta. He pulled free from my hand and held Riggs'to shirt even tighter. Because I was much shorter than the both of them, I was just sandwiched between them, my back pressed against beta Riggs' chest and my chest against Alpha's."What the fuck were you trying to do with her?" He continued to hammer."Alpha I swear nothing, she was hurt and I only wanted to help." Riggs continued to say in his defense."Alpha listen to me..." I groaned, realizing that his fur was now sprouting through his skin and his claws were taking over. It was only a matter of time before his wolf took over.I tried to push him backwards but he was too strong for me to move him.Maxwell was taking over his body. His eyes had gone completely dark and I could swear I just hea
