I found myself standing outside Elijah's house, watching it from a distance and finding myself to be rather indecisive. I did not know whether or not I was supposed to go inside, or whether I was supposed to go back to Gwen's house. I knew that it would not really matter where it was that I went, because no one would be able to tell that that was where I was, but it was merely one of those things that I had no control over at the moment. The only way for that to change, was to wait it out. And whether I waited it out here, or in Gwen's house, I doubted that it would matter. As long as I was somewhere where I could be found, I doubted that it would be much of a problem. I wanted nothing more than to be able to shift back, and take a bath - I could feel the dirt between my toes and the sand in my fur, but I also knew that the chances of me being able to do that, were somewhat slim to none. I would need to wait until someone could explain to me how I was supposed to shift back. And unt

I had been running for what felt like an eternity, but I knew that it would only be a matter of time before I reached the Northern Pack. It had not been an ideal route that I had taken, but I knew it to be the fastest one, and luckily for my sake, I had not come across any problems along the way - and by problems, I meant rogues. It was a small mercy that I was incredibly thankful for. But I knew that it must have been because the Moon Goddess had mercy on me, because she knew that I was going to have quite a hard time when I entered that pack. I would be under attack as if I was a rogue, and the only way for me to prevent that, would be to speak to them and tell them who I was. But even so, Samantha had warned me that even though her father had left the pack, he still had more than enough members in the pack who acted as spies for him. I did not want information about my research to get back to him before I managed to get back to the pack. I wanted to be there to confr

There was a knock on the door to the room that I was in, and even though I had been half asleep, it was enough to wake me. And, it seemed like my visitor did not need permission to come inside, for the door just opened, before I had the chance to make myself presentable. Even though I must have been sleeping for quite some time – why else would it be dark outside? – I didn’t feel like I had been resting at all. It just proved how exhausted I actually was, but I had just been ignoring it instead of addressing it.My guest turned out to be no one other than the Alpha’s son. And he looked a lot more presentable now, than he had been before. I had to admit that it was something that I was thankful for, although I could not tell him that. I doubted that he would be very happy or impressed with me if I were to make a comment about his earlier lack of attire. I knew how to pick my fights, and picking ANY fight while I was here, would be like signing my death

“Where is Alpha Elijah? Is he deliberately avoiding me, or do you have something to do with it?” My heart felt like it was sinking into the pit of my stomach, my father’s presence on the front porch being more than an overwhelming factor. And what made the situation so much worse, was the fact that he knew that he had the upper hand here, knew that there was a certain effect that he had on me that would always be superior. And all that I could do in that moment, was to freeze and stare at him in disbelief.Thankfully for my sake, it seemed like it would not be necessary for me to do much else other than to be present, because Gwen appeared beside me, seeming to be more prepared for what was going on than I was. I could not help but be thankful for the fact that she was intervening in the situation, because there was no way in hell that I would have been able to handle the situation. “Beta Luke. I must say that I’m rather surprised to see you here. Did Alpha Elijah request to see you

Hello! I'd like to thank all of you for reading this story as far as you have, and I hope that you have enjoyed it thus far. Please note that we have now concluded with Book 1! Can you believe it? It feels like it happened in the blink of an eye. I would like to encourage all of you to read Book 2, which will pick up exactly where we left off. It will be free for an extended period of time (I thought that might be better than keeping this book going). The title is: The Alpha's Heir Let's hope that that doesn't give too much away!
