All Chapters of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The weak girl had taken me back to my room. In her bid to be the overly polite she-wolf she appeared to be, she continued to try to fill the awkward silence by pointing out various features of the packhouse which were en-route. And, in doing so, I do not know if she realized that she had allowed me to build some knowledge within my mind of how to get around her packhouse. Or at least I was able to save the route from my room to the Alpha office. Information now all stored within my memory, and in my mind, that was all I needed.The moment we found ourselves standing awkwardly outside my room, with her eyes looking everywhere but at me, like she was questioning what she should do now, as I refused to head back inside, Mari suggested that we see if Hudson and Sonny would like some coffee. She said she would take us to their lounge area where we could relax and watch TV, or play the games consoles that they had set up there. I had no doubt my friends would appreciate that offer, and, as

The second I walked through the door of my family home, he was there. The man I hated most in the world. Moving from the lower step of the staircase where he had been seated, like he had been waiting for me. A bottle by his side. His darkened gaze focused upon me while he moved. A gaze that I was certain there was no longer anything behind. Darkness. Dead. Numbness. No real feeling. No emotions. I swore he was dead inside. A shell of the man he used to be. And that was a terrifying thought. Because a man that was dead inside, in my opinion, had no conscience. My father was certainly starting to prove that...“Nothing is cooking. And the chores are not completed.” He snarled angrily, as he approached. I quickly moved to make a step away from the doorway. I simply nodded, knowing better than to argue with him.The moment I made that move to step by him, he gripped my arm. Intoxicated or not, he still had his rapid reactions, and he was not about to let me walk away from him. He clearly

Beta Kian had stalked away without so much as a second glance in my direction after he had given me my warning. A warning that still made little sense. And having watched his back disappear into the distance, I found myself loitering. Unsure where to go and what to do next. An unease had settled over me. And over my wolf...I already did not particularly like the Alpha and Beta of Eldermoon Pack, and had only ever agreed to a business agreement for the potential benefit of the contacts they held. But, there was something about the way that man spoke that made me suspicious. He was dishonest. There was a darkness about him that I could not put my finger upon; and coming from me, a man whom many would consider of great darkness, I had a feeling it was a serious judgement for me to make.We had already been suspicious. That was what had brought us back here to begin with, but Beta Kian's words had only added to it now. Were the two instances linked? That I would not like to say; but ther

Chores were all but completed, and just as I tended to the food within the slow cooker for dinner, the front door slammed. My heart dropped. The only person who slammed the door like that was him. I thought he had left to continue with his duties for the day. I thought I may be able to have some peace. But within seconds that familiar stench hit me to confirm my fears... he had returned.My heart pounded within my chest. I had duties I needed to tend to, and this time they were not just the ones that my fther forced upon me. Alpha was asking me to represent my pack, and as much as I doubted my abilities, I did not want to let them down. Being here with my father, especially if he was in a foul mood, which that strong stench of alcohol told me he likely would be, was only going to delay me from getting to where I needed to be. I could not be there for the guests that I was assigned to if my father was here holding me up.I swallowed nervously, eyeing up the line from where I stood, and

The moment my father opened the door to the visiting Alpha, I knew there was going to be trouble. My father was being the ass that he so often could be. Defensive as ever, knowing he was incredibly close to having been caught. But hearing the Alpha question him took me by surprise.“I don’t know, is there something we can help with? Because it certainly sounded to me like we were disturbing something as we approached.” His words shook me to the core. Because not only did they tell me he had heard what had been happening in my home, but the way in which he responded told me he may even be leaning toward attempting to defend me. Or was I imagining that? I tried hard to reason with myself that a man such as him would never defend me…But the icy cold glare of my father darted between Alpha Carter and his men, before settling upon me. ‘See what you have done?’ He demanded through our link. ‘You will be sorry…’
