All Chapters of The Alpha’s Favour: Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

May was driving again. I sat in the back of the SUV while Bridget took the passenger seat.The ride was pretty quiet.I honestly didn't mind the silence, it gave me time to think.Not about the craziness of becoming the new luna of the Silvercrest pack.No.Somthing way scarier.How I was going to tell Uncle Victor and Aunt Sarah that I had been keeping all this from them.They would definitely freak when they found out I had spent the night at a man's house.Even if he was their alpha.The car stopped and I noticed that we had stopped right in the middle of town outside the alpha's offices.Next thing I knew the back door was opening and Tristan came into view. Or rather, his back. "Tell him I want the report by tonight. No excuses." He barked at a young man I didn't recognise."Yes alpha." The young man let out hurriedly.He caught my eye and his eyes widened.Tristan snapped his fingers. "I'm over here, Simon.""Y-yes, sorry, alpha. I just err...""What?"He gestured to me. "The l

FLASHBACKI stumbled through the woods.'Don't be mad.' They told me. 'These things are normal.''She'll come back for you."'She loves you."Lies! All lies! They were all lying, pretending to care.Acting like this was what it would take to protect me.But who were they really protecting other than themselves?They were protecting themselves from having to tell me the truth.Which was simply, my parents ditched me here because they didn't want me.It wasn't exactly the easiest thing to tell a fourteen year old girl.So they lied and made empty promises about my mother coming back for me.Is it weird that somehow I had known?Not that she would desert me but that she would never look at me the same?The day I had fainted in PE and they had to call my mother. How I had to miss a whole two weeks of school a freaking animal's tail had emerged from no where.The constant fevers and bursts of energy. The splitting headaches that my mother would later sit me down about and explain as 'the

"What do you guys think war is? In your own words?" "It's what happens when a couple of men with huge egos disagree." Bea announced, she turned to give Joshua - who was sitting next to me - a sharp look."Seriously?" Joshua whispered to himself he gripped a pencil so tightly, his knuckles begun to turn white.I guess they were still arguing. I had spent the whole day with Joshua.Since he wasn't allowed to take part in any physical activity, he even attended my physical class. Which I had with mostly freshmen.He was so utterly unimpressed and maybe even disgusted that I thought he would just leave and risk getting shocked."Hey, chicks can start wars too!" Andre spoke."The fact that you just used the word 'chicks' right now stresses the whole stupid males point." Courtney scoffed."He's right, actually." Allison spoke up in a small voice. "Queens were more likely to wage war, especially between 1480 and 1912.""That's actually true. Take Queen Isabella for instance and her strate

FLASHBACK"Do you think we're safe here?" I asked Roman in a small voice.We were at the site of Uncle Victor's latest project, the mending of an old bell tower and everyone had left knocked off already.I had stayed behind to keep Roman company. He was in charge of transporting any left over equipment.I sat in the passenger seat of his truck swinging my legs out of the open door. I had a notebook and pen in my hands because I was supposed to be writing a report for my English class on 'The Little Red Riding Hood'. The most hated book around here. Go figure.But I got easily distracted as I watched Roman load up another tool box."Safe where?" He asked. "As in here in Woodfell?"He had taken off his outer shirt leaving him with a wifebeater on underneath.Sweat glittered on his face and I couldn't help but stare at his toned arms as he worked."Yeah." I responded. "The war wasn't that long ago. Don't you get scared sometimes? About what could happen if one of the defeated packs decid

I could literally feel the awkwardness.Somehow I had gotten stuck sitting in between Joshua and Bea in the SUV.We were using two pack vehicles, the first one - which was ahead of us - was being driven by Raphael with Allison, Andre and Courtney riding with him.The rest of us were with May.Bea sat with her arms crossed against her chest and Joshua just stared out the window.May didn't speak either and I wondered if she too understood the gravity of the situation. She was Tristan's apprentice, which meant by default she had to know his brothers. How personal their relationship was the question. Like how well did she understand Bea and Joshua's relationship?We were driving past the town centre, I caught a glimpse of one of Chris' mother's employees opening up the bakery. I sighed thinking about how she was probably starting a fresh batch of crossbuns.I had worked for Chris’ mum for two summers in the past with Kat just to make a little pocket money. It was a really fun experience.
