I would be Alpha. I would lead my pack after my father retired. I would be the strongest there ever had been. It pushed me to be stronger and stronger. There wasn’t a single wolf in our pack who could come toe to toe with me, even my father, by the time I turned sixteen. I had been invited to the knights training early on but chose to ignore them. I thought I was hot shit when I was younger that I didn’t need them. I remember my father slapping me upside the head, telling me I needed to be taken down a notch or five. I smiled at the memory. It really screwed me up. As I grew up, I refused to take a Beta. Refused to even touch the subject with anyone. Kev was my best friend and I made him my Gamma while Sam was my high school friend, she became my Delta. When I turned eighteen, Sophia and Fiona came, providing presents and removed the suppression magic from me. I was happy that I wasn’t mated to Kev but also, I didn’t upgrade him to Beta because it didn’t feel right. He also said he wa

“Sweetheart?” “I think she was stabbed in the leg.” She inhaled sharply, tears filling her eyes. “Why…why must she go through so much pain?” I rubbed my thigh, the phantom pain still making it throb. “I don’t know. It’s been pretty quiet as of late. This is the first bad one in a while.” Her lips pursed in a line. “Can you really add the pain of rejection to this poor girl’s list of injuries? Add that scar to all the other ones?” “Mom, I don’t want to talk about this.” She sighed and nodded. Her hand came up and brushed my cheek with her thumb. “I know I say this often, but you are blessed. This link you have with her, it’s a blessing from the Moon Goddess. It may not seem like it, but it is. You’re supposed to help each other. If you don’t, what’s going to happen to her? Or your Beta?” I knew she wasn’t looking for an answer. She never did anymore. Getting up, she headed out of the office, but turned before she closed the door behind her. “Eat, sweetheart. Maybe rest a little.

*** Skylar’s POV *** I rolled out from under Thing, yelling at the top of my lungs with Emmett. ‘A-B-C-D-E-F-U’ ‘And your mom and your sister and your job’ ‘And your broke-ass car and that shit you call art’ Even Raine was yelling the lyrics in my head. Emmett was sitting on the workbench in the garage as I worked on doing the final checks to the engine and everything connected to it. We’d never started her up after Caleb took out her engine and did some work on it. ‘Fuck you and your friends that I'll never see again’ ‘Everybody but your dog, you can all fuck off’ ‘Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah’ ‘A-B-C-D-E-F-U’ We’d started early this morning, considering the long task this one was going to be and how crucial Thing was to my escape. Emmett and I usually worked on the car, so it looked normal for a Sunday. Maybe even as a last hurrah together as brother and sister. No one bothered us last night, but it would have taken effort since we’d kept the hatch ‘locked’ all night.

Heading out to the parking lot and Vince waggled his eyebrows. “Don’t look now but there is a black Mustang with your name on it.”I rolled my eyes. “Yeah. I’ll pass. I did manage to grab some of the good green on Sunday if anyone wants to join.”All three of them exchanged smiles. Henry clapped his hands once before throwing his arms around Steph and my shoulders.“Where to this time? And who’s driving?”“I’ll drive.” Vince was first to pipe up.I hummed, glaring at the beautiful Mustang. “I’ve got just the place. I’m leaving, so it should be passed to the people who will need it. Come on, I’ll direct you.”With Vince driving, I got in the passenger seat with Steph and Henry in the back. Cranking up the music, we peeled out. After a couple of vague directions, Vince nodded to the rearview mirror.“We are being followed.”I chuckled. “Probably to make sure I don’t run away. Here! Turn into the dirt area. It’s a bit of a trek but it’s worth it.”We all got out once Vince parked. Headin

Emmett and I got up together in the morning before we separated. I stayed on the bus as he got off and it headed further into town. This was the same bus that would eventually take us to Carl’s shop, but the library wasn’t as far. It took five stops until I finally got off, looking around. There didn’t seem to be the black Mustang following me, but I had seen it when we left this morning from the pack house. I adjusted my backpack and headed up the extensive stairs that were in front of the large library.It was the biggest building in the area, and it held most of the pack’s history from the time the pack was founded. There weren’t just the normal books that you would see in a non-shifter library but a bunch of magical tomes as well. It was still pretty early but the librarian I knew opened at 6:00 a.m. for the local college kids who needed to prep for their early classes. Slipping in, there was a college aged she-wolf sitting at front desk. Leaning forward, I smiled at her.“Shouldn
