~Natalie’s POV~“SCREW THEM BOTH!!” I yelled hitting my steering wheel. I couldn’t go home, not like this. I pulled over and screamed, releasing this rage inside. How did I get into this situation? All my life I steered away from people, people like them.I couldn’t hold my tears back anymore. I fisted my hands and hit my dashboard and made a dent. ‘Ugh! I’m sorry baby,’ I said, with tears in my eyes caressing my car because I hurt her instead of hurting two jerkwads.I was furious at myself. I should have evaded both of them from the beginning. I should have guarded my heart better. Those guys aren’t even close to being my mates so what the hell was I doing with them?!‘ENOUGH!’ Zoe yelled. ‘Don’t do this to yourself. It’s not normal to have two Alphas chasing us and wanting us Nat! All this time we've kept low and we finally get noticed by two powerful Alphas. It isn’t our fault!’ Zoe’s words didn’t help. She o

I walked outside with the rest of the recruits who were going to participate in the ‘tournament’ so to speak. By the looks of it, the entire pack was here to watch the action. “Good morning my fellow pack members!” Alpha Allen began to speak, Christian was standing next to him. “Let's give a huge welcome to these recruits that stand before you.” The crowd cheered. I didn’t miss the glance that Christian gave me. ‘Arrogant bastard.’ “As you all know, each year we have tryouts/tournaments for wolves to become warriors or Elite warriors. It brings me great joy when a wolf and/or omega wants to step up to become a warrior and protect their pack with their own lives.” “It takes a lot of self-discipline, courage, strong will, responsibility, and self sacrifice to become a true warrior. My Elite warriors are composed on the exterior while being powerful on the inside. They are focused but aggressive not out of selfishness but on behalf of others.” He turns around to look at us, “Do you

I reached the pack house and Alpha Allen was already waiting for me in his office. I walked in and knocked. “Come in Natalie,” he said. I stepped in and closed the door behind me. He gestured for me to take a seat. “I want to apologize for Christian’s behavior, Natalie. What he did is unacceptable. You did amazing out there. I think you shocked the entire pack if you ask me. As your Alpha, I am proud of you,” he calmly said. I was on the verge of tears. “Thank you, Alpha, but that will not erase the embarrassment and disrespect he emitted.” My voice croaked and I knew he could sense the pain and sadness in my words. “Alpha…I didn’t come here for that. I came here to request…well actually plea, for you to sign me up for Special Forces training so that I could enhance my combat skills. With all due respect Alpha, I was about to denounce my pack a few minutes ago (I sighed). With your permission, I would like to leave the pack for a while…” I swallowed hard as I continued. “I can not

Saying goodbye was the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. Evie noticed I was silently crying, but she didn’t ask questions. Somehow I feel that Jerry and her knew Ivan was here to see me.I’m glad though, I couldn’t complain because I got to see him. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, but it was for the best. Soon he will find his mate and I will find mine too.“Evie…” I said sadly. “Do you think you could catch a ride with Jacob tomorrow? I’m not going to school tomorrow. My parents want me to stay home.”“Sure Natie. I can ask Jacob. He’ll be thrilled though Jerry won’t be.” She giggled. “Is everything okay? I saw Ivan leaving your car.”I side-eyed her and she got nervous. “Yes. Oh, I’m sure you did.” I said, smiling and shaking my head.___________It was 1:30 in the morning. My alarm was going off to ‘Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park.’ I packed a large duffle bag with clothes and two pairs of shoes.As the song played, I felt melancholic. In the past, I’ve quest

Two f*cking weeks have passed. I’ve been miserable without her in my life. Not seeing the attractive rare beauty, the smell of her delicious scent, and the feel of her soft skin. Striker has been in a foul mood as well.I’ve been snappy with everyone finding it difficult to control this emptiness. Camila has kept her distance and I appreciate that. School hasn’t been the same without Natie and it doesn’t take a blind eye to see that Christian has been feeling the same way.The jacka*s seems to take out his anger on others and it pisses me off that he is acting this way when he’s the f*cking reason for Natalie's absence. F*ck face still thinks she belongs to him.I haven’t been performing well during my basketball practices and games due to my crummy state of mood. It's even affected my academics. Even at home, Dad has noticed my dark glowering disposition.Leslie, my sister, tries to cheer me up but there is nothing and no one to snap me out of this dour state. Only Natie can change t
