Chapter 31: Home

JaneI don't know why I ran. My vision is blurred from the anxiety running through me. My body seems to vibrate with every pulse of my heart and every pump of my blood, forcing me forward without my will. I want to stop, I want to turn around and go back to the car. The sound of my paws behind me, the twigs snapping under the pressure of the snow on top of them, all echo in my ears. I push myself harder, running as fast as my legs can stretch over the deep snow. With each step, my paws sink deep into the snow, pulling up mud that coats the white fur on my stomach and legs. My front paw collides with something cold, something metal underneath the snow. When I put my weight down on the metal, it encloses around my leg. I stumble to the ground hard with a cry of pain immediately, starting to feel the warmth of my own blood coat through my fur. I try my best to struggle out of the trap, but the more I move, the deeper the teeth sink into my leg, and I let out a howl in despair. "Shh,

Chapter 32: A Bond

LucasI felt it. I felt the way her eyes begged me to come closer to her. The way my own wolf cried inside of me to be closer to her, to feel her touch. I wanted to stay shifted to give her the space she needs, but I knew what the calling was, and I couldn't refrain from shifting back to be with her. Her skin is pale and scarred, he white hair dirty with blood trickled in it. Some of it is her own, and some of it is left from the man in the parking lot. Yet, when I trail my nose just above the skin of her neck, all I sense is her. The cold scent of frost, and the lemon that accompanies it. I close my eyes to feel the sensation that runs through me at the intake of her scent. "You're my mate," my words come out quietly, but sternly. It is not a question, it is a fact. The pull that brought her gaze to mine, and the constant need I feel to be with her, to protect her. I should have realized earlier, but she hadn't had her wolf, and was still waiting for the wolfsbane to leave her syst

Chapter 33: Rejection

JaneThe words left my mouth like a razor blade slicing the center of my tongue open. I didn't reject him, I just told him no. I don't want to be his mate, I can't be his mate. His silence hurts my stomach, but I can't let him claim me.Shifting back into my wolf form, I rise and lower my leg a few times to make sure I can run on it. I hear the cracking of Alpha Lucas's bones behind me, and I wait for him to walk in front of me. Once he does, his wolf is slow. He walks, instead of prancing as he usually does, and my chest tightens in sadness at the thought. He doesn't understand. He could never understand that I am not saying no because of him, I am doing it for him. The King of Wolves shouldn't be tied to a mutt like me, even if he sees me as more than that. I am not. I was born a mistake, and I won't taint him with my problems.Besides, no one would take him seriously if I were queen. I would make him look bad, and the pack, the whole wolf world, would look down on him for acceptin

Chapter 34: A Decision

LucasHer words seem to echo in the silence of the bathroom, and I let the lack of my words taint the air between us as her eyes search mine for a response. But I don't have one. How could a King mate with someone who can't continue the royal bloodline? It's a ludicrous idea, to say the least. The whole point of being a King is to ensure the pack's future. What is a future without an heir? Without saying a word to her, I turn to leave. My feet feel heavy against my steps, and my vision seems to tunnel on the door. Rebecca says something in the lobby when I pass her, but I can't hear her words. I just need to get out of this place, out of this building with her in it.She looked gorgeous. The clothes she had bought with Rebecca fit her perfectly, showing the curve of her body that returns with every day she is here. The color in her cheeks is brighter than usual, and her hair is damp with the water from the shower. Such a simple thing, but it made me want to run her white hair throug

Chapter 35: Shattering Glass

JaneRebecca tried to get me to stay with her, but I shook my head silently before leaving her alone in the infirmary. I couldn't raise my eyes from the ground. I couldn't feel anything anymore, and I felt like sleeping indefinitely. The world around me seemed to fade away because all I could think about was how much of a disappointment I have become. My father, a great warrior to our pack, was killed because of who I am. A worthless mutt. I can't be loved because I can't have kids, and that is one of the most important things to the wolf world. Even as a child, I knew I wanted to be a mom. Every wolf wants kids; it's in our instincts. I find myself on the floor in the bedroom at the packhouse before I can comprehend where I walked to. My knees are tightly pulled to my chest, and my eyes are entranced by the wooden floor beneath me. My mind seems to run faster than my conscience can keep up with it, and nausea runs through me at the overwhelming churning in my stomach. The faint so

Chapter 36: The First Defeat

LucasThough my tears stream down my face as my chest aches from the thought of losing my daughter, Jane's touch is comforting to me. That I didn't force her to touch me, or initiate the contact. She feels safe enough to place her cold hand on my arm. I take in another breath before using the back of my hand to wipe away the dampness on my face. "I hope you can forgive me," her voice is weak as it leaves her lips. When I turn my gaze back to her, she is staring deeply into my eyes. Her light blue, nearly transparent eyes seem to go deeper than the depth of the ocean as I stare into them. I became so entranced by her eyes, I nearly forgot she had said something."For what?" I ask, my hand involuntarily moving to her face. She does the same to me, running her thumb under my eye to wipe the stream of tears that has invaded the skin on my face. "I can't give you a child." My head falls to the side as I swallow the lump in my throat at her words. I want to tell her it doesn't matter, tha

Chapter 37: A Force

JaneAlpha Lucas sent me home. Home. It is what he called it. Something that this cabin is to him. A home where he and his daughter were supposed to grow together. A home that his mate should have been able to love him in. It didn't feel like home to me, though. As it turns out, after so long of misery, you start to think of it as normal. Maybe that is where I belong. The dungeons of the Montana pack. Those wolves would still be alive if I were still there. I didn't go to the cabin, I went to the infirmary. Rebecca was already on her way out, having to deal with the victims. "Sorry, Jane. I'll catch up with you later!" She shouted at me as she flung the door open, carrying two bags of supplies with her. I should have gone to the cabin like Alpha Lucas told me to do, but I couldn't stand the thought of being in a giant house all by myself. The sounds of everything in the forest still ring in my ears. I can hear their conversations, the snow falling around them, despite their dista

Chapter 38: A Feeling

LucasThe kid in front of me swings over and over again. Each time, it is too short, too high, too slow to make an impact. I want him to be better. I don't want to make him look bad in front of the other warriors, but I am starting to think he shouldn't be kept as a warrior."Focus, Jonas," I tell him sternly before he throws another failed punch in my direction. This time, I catch it in the air, holding his hand hostage. "Jonas. Clear your head, think about the fight. Nothing else," I tell him as my gaze locks onto his. I can tell he is somewhere else in his head. He is just a young wolf, about 18. I hate to put him in a war like this one when his life has hardly begun, but we need the numbers. Without the new recruits, our warriors are still about the population of the whole Montana pack. With them, however, we nearly double their entire pack numbers. I let his hand go, giving him a second to shake his head clear before I send a slow hook in his direction. He blocks the move, lan

Chapter 39: Training

JaneKatherine Hawthorn is my aunt. She is what they call a blood witch. Apparently, that doesn't mean that she uses the blood of sacrifices, which she says is a misconception of the practice. She is able to talk to spirits and uses her own blood for certain ceremonies. My mother, Clarissa Hawthorn, was her sister. She was the exact opposite of her in nearly every way. Katherine has brown hair and brown eyes. My mother had white hair and blue eyes like mine. She says it is passed with the coven magic. "Turn this to ice," she had told me the second we sat down at her kitchen table. I wanted to scoff at the request. I don't know how to control it. I don't even know what all I can do with it. When I told her this, she folded her arms in front of her, plopping down in the seat across from me. She waited silently until I let out a defeated sigh, wrapping my hands around it. I tried to focus on the glass, feeling it cool at my fingertips. When I opened my eyes, the glass was still full o

Chapter 40: Work

LucasThank the moon goddess, she hadn't locked the doors on the SUV. I was able to shift and change before walking up to the door. Now, as I walk back to the SUV to leave my clothes in there once again, I can feel her eyes on my back. It takes all my strength to keep from turning around to be with her. Despite my desperate want to be with her, I start pulling off the clothing I had just put on when I make it to the SUV. My placement at the back end of it gives me a straight view of Jane, and her gaze is locked on mine from across the meadow. When my shirt is completely off, she closes the door with a slam. I can't help the grin that comes to my face thinking about her seeing me. The run here was fast, though the drive is long. While the drive in the SUV would take about two hours, the run as a wolf takes about an hour. It is a convenient method of travel in Alaska, specifically for the areas humans can only get to with planes. When I make it back to the pack, the warriors are alre
