“So you’re Jacob huh? Ain’t you too young to hang out with men as dangerous as Lucien?” I ask with my eyes tracing his body up and down. He’s dressed in a cooperate suit, his pant trousers is penciled and sharp, he has a pair of white sneakers on to show that he’s a young trendsetter who’s totally in vogue with the new fashion dynamics. “Huh.. I’m only just a trainee..” he starts off scratching his head, he looks a lot nervous now and honestly, is this guy supposed to protect me or I’m meant to protect him? He looks like a high schooler. “I’m one of the best at the training camp and I was selected to come guide you ma’am and it’s an honour serving the Luna of our great pack, I’ll be of great help to you!” He yells and quickly bows his head to me. I cannot help but laugh, “I see Lucien has resorted into not just getting me a security but an entertainer as well” I mumble under my breath. “What’s that you say ma’am?” He asks and I quickly respond, “oh it’s nothing Jacob, just a little

I watch in horror as Adam continues to pummel Jacob. I can't bear to see the pain he's in, and I feel the anger rising within me. I can't just sit here and watch this. I take a deep breath and call out, "Stop!" My voice is loud and clear, and it makes Adam pause. He looks over at me, his expression one of surprise. I see the rage in his eyes, but I know I have to stand my ground by stopping the childish duel. While Adam is distracted by my outburst, Jacob takes his chance. He pushes against Adam's chest, knocking him off balance. In a flash, he twists his body and flips over, landing on top of Adam. He kicks him hard, sending him flying through the air. Adam slams into a tree, hitting his head on the trunk. He falls to the ground, out cold. I hold my breath, shocked at what I've just witnessed. I'm not sure if I should feel relieved or afraid.I stand up, my heart still racing. Jacob looks over at me, his expression a mixture of pride and relief. I smile at him, clapping my hands. T

Jacob looks surprised, his brow furrowed. "But it's so late," he says, his eyes wide and lazy. Jacob gives me a puzzled look, but he doesn't question me further. He follows me into my room and pulls out his phone. "What kind of weapon would you like to learn to use?" he asks, scrolling through his phone. I think for a moment, then say, "I want to learn how to use a bow and arrow." Jacob nods, his expression thoughtful. "That's a good choice," he says. "It's a weapon that takes skill and concentration to master.""Why the bow and arrow?" Jacob asks, a lazy smile on his face. "That's a little out of the ordinary." I lift my chin, my expression defiant. "I chose it because it's a weapon that allows me to stay out of reach of my opponent," I say, my voice firm. "It's faster and more effective than being up close, where they could get the upper hand." Jacob laughs, his eyes bright. "You sound like the woman that you are, can’t believe you were so scary moments ago," he says, his voice fu

I enter the living room and see Adam sitting on the couch, his gaze fixed on me. He stands up as I walk in, his face stern. "What did that man want?" he asks, his voice low and threatening. I hold his gaze, refusing to be intimidated. "I don't answer to you," I say, my voice cold. My eyes narrow, and I take a step towards him. "You're my beta," I say, my voice hard. "You will answer to me."Adam takes a step back, his expression dark. I take the opportunity to shout Lauren's name as loud as I can. Lauren enters the room, her face expressionless. She looks at me and Adam, her eyes scanning the situation. "What's happening?" she asks, her voice neutral. I tell her that I'm going to be leaving Natasha in her care while I go hunting for the witches. I tell her that I may be gone for a week or more, depending on how long it takes to track them down. Lauren's eyes widen, and she looks back at Natasha who was behind her this whole time, her expression softening. "Of course," she says, her vo

When I wake, I find myself alone. I get up and wander downstairs, where I find Lauren and Jacob in the kitchen. They're chatting and laughing, and it's clear that they're getting along well. I feel a twinge of loneliness, and I wonder if I'll ever fit in. I realize that I'm feeling like a third wheel, and I don't like it.I look around for Silver, hoping for some company. I call out to her, and she comes bounding into the room. She trots over to me and nuzzles my hand, and I smile at her affection. I ask her to make me breakfast, and she looks at me curiously. I laugh, realizing that she won’t make breakfast. She isn’t feeling exactly wel at the moment. But she decides to keep me company, and she flops down next to me, leaning against my leg. I scratch her ears, and she closes her eyes, content.Lauren and Jacob finally come into the room, and they see me and Silver curled up together on the floor. Jacob bows to me, and he tells me that he and Lauren have been discussing my desire to
