I am woken by a knock at my door. I groggily get up from my bed and walk over to open the door, to be greeted by Beta Tate standing there, a smile on his face. How can he be happy in a morning?! That is not normal.“Good Morning sunshine” he grins. “Thought I would come and wake you. Lessons start in an hour. Wondering if you were wanting some breakfast? If so, I can show you where the dining room is in the packhouse where meals are served.”I feel really conscious of the fact I am literally standing here in a pair of tiny shorts and a tank top, with my hair all over the place, looking like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards. I smiled awkwardly.“You could have called or texted?” I say.“Don’t have your number doll” he smiles. “anyone would think you don’t want to see me” He grabs his chest like I had mortally wounded him.I couldn’t help but laugh. “Well I am here in my PJs with no make up on, looking like a scarecrow.” I say touching my messed up hair. “So don’t really ap

The breakfast was sweet of him, going out of his way to cook for me, so I didn’t need to face up to a dining room full of strangers when he realised I was feeling fed up. Makes it almost forgivable he was checking out my butt. Almost…He seems to be being really kind to me, but I am sure he is just trying to be nice because he has to be, yet when I suggest that he gets all defensive, so I am just going to leave it. I can’t be bothered, I need to be doing what I need to do, learn what I need to learn and hopefully they will let me leave.After I wash up the pots, pans and plates from breakfast, I see Tate watching me from the breakfast bar. I swear if he is checking out my butt again I am going to kick his ass…“You ready to go see Alpha?” he asks.Oh shit, I forgot about that. He mentioned it earlier, but didn’t really elaborate. I wonder if I am in trouble?“If I have to” I nod.“Well, you need to pledge to the Alpha and pack hunni, kind of a formality when joining a werewolf pack” h

I walked out of Lachlan’s office, glad to get out of the tension in there. He was in a foul mood today, and Violet being so unsure of everything seemed to piss him off even more. Though at the same time she seemed to have no filter, which I have to say was kinda amusing. But you would think Lachaln would try to be a little more patient with her considering everything she has been through and everything she has suddenly found out, it has to be a hell of a mind fuck to find that out as an almost-adult and then being expected not only to accept it but also to have your life completely changed overnight.As we walked out of the room, I quickly removed my arm from around Violet’s shoulder, not able to deal with the tingling sensation of the mate bond and not react to it. Not to mention, I don’t want her beginning to question why each time we touch there is a weird sensation. So far I have tried to dismiss it as static shock, but surely pretty soon she is going to start questioning why this

Well, lessons for today have finished, not wanting to force the poor lass into doing too much after having so much going on. Now we are strolling around the pack. I am quite happy walking around with this beauty by my side, not that she realises it. I don’t think she would even consider herself beautiful. She certainly doesn’t seem to come across as confident.But she is beautiful in an ethereal sort of way. Her eyes are such a beautiful shade of blue, I swear it feels like you could swim in them. I know I could get lost looking into them. That is why I try not to make direct eye contact with her too much, or else I know I am going to struggle looking away from her!The pack is nice to walk around, all neatly set out and well cared for. Our Alpha, Lachlan, always makes sure the pack is well taken care of. There are so many nice places to visit, and I want Violet to see that, see that the pack is not such a bad place after all.All she has heard about packs is damaging things, so I can

I stood to the side and discreetly observed as Violet got herself dressed again. Taking in the curves of her body as she covered them back up with her clothes. Odyn, my wolf, had been loving having time with her, though was getting grumpy as he wanted to mark her. Completely disregarding the fact she had yet to shift, and didn’t even have her wolf yet, let alone know we were her mate.I had been having an internal dispute with him, at the same time as trying to chat with Violet, which was far from being an easy thing to do. Sharing headspace with a grumpy bastard of a wolf who thinks he has the right of control and the right to dictate what goes on can be sheer hell. Especially when he is on edge. In the end, I had to push him back so I could barely feel him. No doubt I would regret it later, but I could not risk him pushing forward and taking control and trying anything with Violet, especially not trying to mark her.It would terrify the poor girl. She saw me as a friend and nothing
