CHAPTER ELEVEN

After everything, I want to just sit and stay here for a bit. I’m exhausted, completely used up. Now I have a moment to myself, it all hits me.I almost died. I married someone I hate. Then, I killed him. My pack is gone, slaughtered. And I don’t have anywhere to go.That’s the worst part. The fact that my pack is slaughtered and I’m alone without a home to go back to.What am I supposed to do now? My only goal before was to get away from Tobias and get my revenge. I’ve done both of those things, and I hope Kara has escaped by now too. So, what’s my purpose?“To get yourself away from here,” I mumble to myself. “That’s your purpose, of course. They’re going to come after you.”As silly as it sounds, talking to myself helps. Especially because it’s true. I’m not in the clear yet. I’m not safe yet.Tobias’ pack is going hunt me down once they realize Tobias and I aren’t coming back.I have some time, since we were both supposed to be on the island to mate. They’ll expect us to

CHAPTER TWELVE

“Okay,” I say.“Okay what?” he asks, with a smile that I suspect says that he knows exactly what I’m talking about.“Okay,” I repeat. My smile matches his. “If you’re really serious about this, I’d like to go with you back to your pack.“I really don’t have anywhere else to go. And I appreciate your help. As I really think about it, I don’t know what I’d do otherwise.”“I’m glad I can help,” he says. Since the moment I saw you sitting there alone I…”He shakes his head. “That doesn’t matter. You must be starving though. I’ll give you some food while we walk. The quicker we get back, the better.”He hands me some food from his pack which is much more filling than the berries I was trying to fill up on. After everything, I am starving. But soon my hunger abates. “What are you doing out here by yourself?” I ask. “You have a pack still. Why aren’t you with them?”“I’m trying to find my best friend, Caden,” Zach explains. “He’s been gone for days and we aren’t sure if he ran off or

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

“Thank you so much, Zach,” Sasha says, as she looks at me in adoration. “I owe you my life for attacking those wolves, for saving me, and for offering me a chance at a future. A place to go.“Words can’t express how much I appreciate you.” She blushes and looks away. “I truly don’t know what I would do without you.”Her appreciation flatters me. I’m glad I can be her hero. I want to help her more than anything. I want to be her hero. Someone she can trust with everything. The way I feel about her strange and so sudden that I can’t make sense of it. I barely know this woman, but since the moment I saw her, I felt this intense need to protect her.I still feel that way. I want to be close to her. The thought of being away from her makes my heart hurt.“You seem to be able to hold your own pretty well,” I say. “I’m impressed. Where did you learn to fight like that?”“From my father, mostly,’ she answers. “I was responsible for leading the charge against the rouges who threatened o

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“Are you sure this okay?” I ask. “I don’t want to cause any trouble. I don’t want them to hate me or anything.”“They won’t hate you,” Zach says, giving me a smile that makes me feel a little better. “They’re wonderful people. They’re going to love you.”I trust him, mostly. But I worry he doesn’t fully know what their reactions will be yet because he hasn’t talked to them about it.“What are you going to tell them?” I ask.“The truth, of course,” he replies, as if it’s so simple.“They’re going to hate me,” I say. “They’re going to know I’m bringing them into danger. They won’t want to get mixed up in that”“They won’t hate you,” he says. “And if they have a problem with you, I’ll deal with it. Just trust me.”He stops and looks at me in that way that makes my heart flutter. With those eyes on me like that, I’ll do almost anything he says.“Do you trust me?” he asks. I think about that for a minute, but there’s really nothing to think about. My feelings for him are strange c

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“I think the best way to test out her fighting skills is to do a mock fight,” Lavender says as the crowd disperses.They watch me warily as they go back to their daily lives. But it’s like they’re not sure how to approach me, and I certainly don’t know how to approach them.“It’s been a long day. I’m sure she’s tired,” Zach says. “How about a mock fight tomorrow?”Yet I see my chance right now. I am beyond tired. It would be so much better to wait until tomorrow. It’s unfair to expect me to be able to fight after everything that happened today.But the smug look on Lavender’s face is enough to convince me that I have to do it. I have to prove myself to her and everyone else in the pack. “It’s okay,” I say. “I am exhausted, but I’m always up for a challenge. Let’s do this.”Lavender’s smile falters a little. I don’t think she thought I’d agree.“Okay,” she says. “Let’s do it.”Zach looks hesitant, but he doesn’t try to stop us as we walk to a dirt circle in the middle of their

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“You look so much more energized,” Zach says, as I leave his cabin. “Do you feel refreshed?”He looks hopeful, like he really wants me to like it here.“I do,” I say. “It’s been great. Thank you for bringing me here.”“Thank you for agreeing to come,” Zach says. “I’ve got so much to show you. You’ll love everything, I know you will.”“I’d rather just wander around on my own right now,” I reply, though it pains me to say that. Lines need to be drawn or else my heart is going to collect more bruises. “Is that okay?”“Of course,” Zach says, though he does look a little hurt by it. “Especially after seeing what you did in that fight, I think most everyone around here will be happy to answer any questions you might have or show you around.“Feel free to reach out, of course. I want you to like it here. I want you to feel comfortable here.”I want to like it here too. Though dealing with Lavender and Zach together is difficult, I don’t have anywhere else to go. So, for the rest of t

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

“I love you,” Zach says.I unravel.“I love you too,” Sasha replies.I can’t believe it. I knew when I saw them together. I just knew they were interested in each other. But I thought I had time. That’s why I threatened her.I thought I had time enough to stop this. I thought if I kept her away from him, I’d be able to keep my mate.Zach is my mate, but now he’s saying all these awful things to her. And I just can’t believe it. I can’t fathom it.Why?What does she have that I don’t have? How could he be so cruel to me like this?I shake with fury and pain.I plan on being the Alpha’s mate someday, no matter what I have to do to get there. I want that status. I want that power. I know I can be a good leader.I know what I need to do.*“I miss you,” Caden says. “I miss you too,” I reply.And I do. Though Zach is my mate and I’ll always want to stay with him because of his status, what Caden and I have is different. It’s hard to explain so I try not to think about i

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

“I love you.”When I wake up the next morning, I feel amazing. I think about the kisses and sweet exchanges. But most of all, I think about the I love yous.I love Sasha, I really do. And I’m going to prove that today. I’m going to break things off with Lavender.It won’t be easy. Mates breaking up is almost unheard of anyway, but especially not those in my kind of position.I must though. I need to be with my mate. I need to be with Sasha.“We need to talk,” I say to Lavender as soon as I’m dressed and ready. “We do,” she agrees. “There are certainly some things that we need to discuss.”“There are,” I say. I hope this means she sees what’s going on. Maybe she feels the same way I do.I’m not her mate, so maybe she feels that. Maybe she wants to find her mate too.“Let’s go to our spot by the lake,” I suggest. “Where we used to talk as friends.”“So much has changed since then,” she says.“It has, but for the better.”I don’t hate Lavender. I’m just not her mate, so I hop

CHAPTER NINETEEN

“Good morning,” I say, to the first member of the pack I see. “Good morning,” she replies shakily. “Are you adjusting well?”“I think so,” I reply. “Though I guess only time will tell.”She seems uncomfortable around me. Most of the members of the pack seem uncomfortable around me. But I’ve accepted that.I’m a stranger who brings some drama with me. I’m not going to let it get to me though. I’ve decided I’m going to do my best to fit in here.Of course, that’s mostly because I love Zach.I love him with my whole heart, and he needs to be here. He’s the Beta of this pack, so I need to figure out a way to belong here as well. So, of course when I see him, it makes my whole day better.I want to kiss him right in front of everyone. I want to show the world he’s mine.“Good morning, Sasha,” he says in a rather cold demeanor.It’s difficult but it makes sense. He has to be careful as the Beta of the pack. He probably hasn’t told them about us yet. “Good morning, Zach,” I say.

CHAPTER TWENTY

“What happened?” Caden asks as he looks at me with concern.“My heart is shattered,” I admit. “Want to go grab some food?”He looks at me warily, but we grab a whole plateful of random stuff before finding a picnic table by the lake to eat on. “So, I want to know what’s been going on with you since you left,” I say.I hope that will distract me from Sasha. Having to banish her is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Even though I know I had to do it, I already miss her. I still love her. “You know, just exploring the woods,” Caden replies, as he looks down at his food.It makes sense. This conversation is probably tough for him if he felt even near the same way about Sasha as I do. Though it’s difficult to imagine that would be the case. I can’t fathom anyone loving her as much as I do, but I guess it’s possible.I guess I didn’t know her at all anyway.“I want to know what’s going on in your mind though,” Caden says. “It’s concerning, how distraught you look. I’m worried about
