“Congratulations Alpha Ivan!” The pack cheered. I finally turned 18 years old today. It was the 27th of December. Since it was Sunday and we were on our winter break, my Father decided to go ahead with the Alpha Initiation Ceremony today. It felt great to finally be the leader of the Midnight pack. It was an incredible feeling when I said my pack vows, and when my Father and I sliced our palms conjoining them together. I immediately felt the true Alpha strength, leadership, and power transfer over to me. I was already connected to the pack link, but this connection was new and beyond belief. A very unusual one at a different level. They relied on me, on my strength, and my wisdom. Every decision I make from this day forward would definitely impact them. My Father finally came around his senses. He still mourns my beautiful mother, but honestly, who didn’t? We all missed her and the pack hasn’t been the same since she left us. Leslie was hurting so much and because of that, she beca

We all woke up super early this morning. My alarm seemed to not bother anyone since they were eager to leave. I felt relieved when no one questioned Nathan and my whereabouts last night. It was my first time pleasuring a guy with my hands and being pleasured too. It was a night I would never forget. He’s been by my side since the moment I got here and we have encouraged, helped, and backed each other up. We both taught each other things that made us an exceptional team. Secretly, I was disappointed too, when I found out I wasn’t fated to him. We could have been terrific for each other, just like my parents. I grabbed my bag and made sure my books, earbuds, and headphones were in there for the long flight back home. A huge grin appeared on my face when I saw Nathan waiting for me outside the door with his bag hanging from his shoulder. “Hey gorgeous, you ready?” His sexy deep voice did things to my body. “Of course handsome. Waiting on me?” I said in a flirtatious tone. He humme

~Christian’s POV~***Earlier on Friday***It was almost noon and I was already anxious to go home. I couldn’t shake this strange feeling away, especially knowing that Natalie would be home soon. Dad did say the first week of February, and still, there was no sign of her. I swear, the week was taunting me going by slowly.I got happy and excited for a second when Natalie’s parents told me they were heading out of town. I thought for a moment they were going to go pick Natalie up, but I frowned when they said they needed a day off and wanted to spend time together alone. I mean, they wouldn’t lie to their Alpha, would they?‘Christian?’ Jay rang in my head. ‘Jay. What’s up?’ I answered.‘Umm…so I just got a text from one of the warriors at home and you're not gonna believe it.’ Jay said nervously.‘Is something wrong?’ Jasper's ears perked up and I got a little worried.‘Christian, he said Natalie is there and is training with them.’ ‘THE F*CK DID YOU JUST SAY!??’ The class was now sta

I was lying on my bed watching the ceiling fan spin. My right arm was resting on my forehead while I sighed for the hundredth time. My whole world was shaken by the revelation about my past. I couldn’t even process the fact that I, Natalie Adams, was meant to be a Beta, but what made me sad was finally hearing the truth that my parents were not my parents. I mean, something deep, deep, deep inside told me that they weren’t, but I hoped it wasn’t real and that my inner voice was mistaken. As I lay there, I tried digesting all that was said to me and honestly, I didn’t know how to handle it, especially finding out how my real mom was killed. My own Father took her life. A tear rolled on the side of my cheek and I rubbed hard to wipe it off. That man was no Father to me. He was going to pay for what he did to her. Who does that to their mate?! Summer said she had scars on her body that didn’t heal well. I had one objective and that was to avenge her death and I would make sure of it.

It didn’t take long with Ms. Slate, but she was a bit nosey and I only told her what she needed to know. After our conversation, I headed to my locker and that’s when I heard my best friend whom I hadn’t seen in ages run up to me and knock me down on the ground, literally. “NATIE!!!!!” She squealed. She bombarded me with kisses all over my face. I couldn’t stop giggling. “I missed you too, Evie! I don’t think Jerry will like the fact that his girl is kissing another girl though.” I chuckled. “Oh, I don’t know, if anything I find it as a turn-on,” Jerry said laughing out loud. Of course he would, he’s a man. “I’m so thrilled to see my girl happy again. She missed you, Natalie, even I missed you.” He said as he gave us a helping hand. “Thank you. I missed you all so much too, Jerry. Thank you for taking care of my best friend here while I was gone.” I said, squeezing my friend so hard. “So…did you find your mate? Your birthday was last month, so did you find him!?” Her question surp
