“Where is she?”A deep voice by the doorway inquired.“She’s changing into her ritual clothes, Beta.”I heard Melissa reply.“Who is that, Melissa?”I was curious to know who Melissa was talking to.“It’s Beta Mark, Your Highness.”“Your Highness?”I was almost done. The cloth was more like a white tunic. Was this what they wore to Stone Shadow pack’s initiation ceremony? Quiet ancient if I’m asked and to think they had already prepared for this moment even before I arrived the pack. It was already arranged amongst my high pile of clothes. I walked to the door and to know this person. I saw a man who was in his forties, brown hair and brown eyes that were sharp and looked like they could detect even the smallest of crime from a miles away. There was wisdom and patience in them too.“Hello Beta.”I bowed in total respect to greet him. When I raised my head, I could tell he was pleased with my action though his face barely revealed it. “Hello Your Highness.” He bowed slightly back. “I’

“She’s awake.”I heard a voice say as soon as I blinked my eyes open before I was crowded by three bodies peering down into my face. What had happened? Where was I? I shook my head a little then winced as my temples banged in pain.“Are you okay, Kathy?”Lucas’ cute face was looking worriedly into mine.“Y-yes.”My mouth was heavy and my voice was hoarse, not ignoring the fact that my throat was in much desperate need of a liquid. My tongue too, it felt drier that the desert, even spittle was scarce in my oral cavity.“Having trouble speaking, darling?”Mom was there too. She looked quite weak but she was putting on a strong front.“Water.”“Melissa, come get her some water.”Lucas ordered my personal maid. Soon a cup of water was placed in my hands, my hands shook as they held the water. Lucas guided them to my mouth and practically fed me the water. I took big gulps like I had never taken water before in my entire existence.“Take it easy so you don’t choke.”Another voice gently wa

AaronIt was Monday and school as usual. I did not really care for these students and the life they led. This was my final year and I could not wait to be out of here and officially become a graduate. Dad already had successful companies waiting for me and my brothers. Stone Shadow pack is the biggest and most prosperous pack in the whole regions, and even the pack that was the second was no where near Stone Shadow pack in wealth and land. We had the best everything and our people were practically good at everything. Sports, music, medical sector, academic sector even our houses were the best. I was proud of what my father had achieved and I wanted to achieve more too. As the first son, it was my duty and I could not wait for the day I’d become Alpha of Stone Shadow pack.As my brothers and I stepped into the school building, the usual stares of both girls and boys alike were all on us. We were not just known to be the Alpha’s sons, but also the most intelligent, most handsome and bes

“What is the time? So you won’t be late for school.”I checked my new phone. David had gotten it for me yesterday during my stay at home. The time read eight past six. It was still early. Lucas told me school usually resumed by eight or nine, sometimes ten but as the family of Salvatore, we were required to lead by example and go early to school, lectures or not. “It’s eight minutes past six, mom. There’s still time.”“I did not check my time, I did not know it was still that early. So why were you already awake when I got here?”“I don’t know. Frayed nerves, possibly.”“You’re scared?”I shrugged, then stood when nerves returned.“I don’t know mom. This is a new school. I know it sounds very stupid. I mean, I’m an adult of twenty one. I should be able to handle school and all its brutalities. Not fret over it like some pitiful wimp.” Then my shoulders sagged. “Which I think I am.”“Hey.” My mother's tone rang in warning. “I did not suffer excruciating ten hours of labor to give birt

Alpha DavidI loved my mate. Ever since I saw her walking aimlessly, looking lost and quite forlorn on my boundary, my wolf had recognized hers and a bond had formed immediately. I just had to walk up to her, and her eyes shone with recognition. She had recognized her mate — me. And she complimented me as a mate should. She was sweet, funny and stubborn. In all, she was a wonderful she-wolf and I had not made the mistake of making her my Luna and mating her after her initiation. The Initiation rite was a lifelong norm of the Stone Shadow pack. Ever since this pack was built it has always been done, there was also one thing no one knew about the significance behind the initiation ceremony. It also showed the true intentions of the person being added into the pack, especially the royal family. Though I loved my mate, I would not settle for a woman who was just after my wealth. And that night, everything had been settled. My mate and her daughter had no evil intentions whatsoever. They
