Chapter 51 - Carter

We had arisen early, heading down to the dining room early, expecting that the weakling would come to greet us, but there had been nothing. Instead, we were left to face the onslaught of the many curious pack members feeling they had the need to come and make polite conversation with us. Bombarding us with questions, or needless information about the pack. Not to mention the shameless she-wolves that all packs seemed to have, flirting, and trying their hardest to gain the attention of visiting senior men of rank. Little did they know that they would not succeed in this with any one of us. And for those who did not make polite conversation, or flirt, we had to tolerate their curious gazes.By the time breakfast was complete, I was ready not just to return to my room, but to return to my pack and hibernate for the remainder of the year. I detested people. Especially those who would not read body language, and could not tell when you wanted to be left alone; or if they could, they opted

Chapter 52 - Mari

I don’t think my legs have ever shaken quite so much as they did as I walked along the hallway, having answered back to Alpha Carter. I knew not being there to greet them for breakfast could be a risky option, but I had been so tired the night before that I had slept a lot later in the morning than I had planned. The moment I saw the time on my clock as I had woken up I knew my plans were not happening. I had to rush around to ensure that some of my daily chores were done before I left, or else I would suffer later once I arrived home. I had yet to learn if I would find the opportunity to return home during the day, as I had yesterday to continue on with chores. If I did not, I could well be working into the early hours...I had hoped, that, having shown the guests where the dining hall was, that they would manage to sort themselves some breakfast just fine. Plus, I knew just how friendly our pack could be. I was sure there would be plenty of people using the dining hal

Chapter 53 - Carter

Hours had passed, and the business deal was more than well underway. Having sat in the smaller conference room we had been assigned, papers were passed out, and plans made, I realized it did not need me and both of my friends to attend. Yet I had not trusted myself to travel alone. And Alpha Aaron had been adamant he wanted to work with me. But, he was doing very little as he sat in his seat, spending the greater amount of his time looking at his phone. I could not help but wonder what the need had been...I irritatingly found myself intrigued by the she-wolf he had assigned to help. Because she worked tirelessly. Barely stopping as she created documents and worked through numbers with us, offering opinions and advice in areas I think even I had not considered. She may be a feeble little thing, but it appeared there was little wrong in her mind. This she-wolf was intelligent.I had seen the admiring glances between Sonny and Hudson, too, as she had spoken up. Not a hin

Chapter 54 - Mari

I don’t know what had made me wait until everyone else had left the room, but I felt more comfortable that way. I needed to do it. I had to speak to him alone, and, if it was only him and in there, then there was only us that would know of the betrayal I was bringing to my pack. Though deep down I knew his Beta and Gamma would know the truth too…My words hung heavy in the air, and I felt sick to my stomach at the thought of what I was about to do. But, Alpha Carter's cold eyes looked right back at me. “What do you want with me, Mari?”There was a little chuckle inside my mind, and I knew it was not my own. It had taken me by surprise, it was so unexpected. My mind was empty other than my own thoughts, the way it was for so many, but not the way it should be for a werewolf... so, wait… could this mean this was my wolf? I found myself pondering. ‘Are you there?’ I called out, only for another giggle to follow.‘Tr

Chapter 55 - Mari

I saw the eyes of Alpha Carter watching me. He wanted answers, and he wanted them now. But I had none to give, and my shrug was clearly not enough. It felt like his eyes were burning a hole into my soul.“I asked why, Mari.” He demanded. “I am not stupid. I have realized you are being drugged. Wolfsbane is a powerful thing. I do not know why somebody would want to do that to you, but it is clear to me they are. Ever since I arrived here for the first time, not only me but my friends too, not one of us were able to sense a wolf upon you, or if we did it was weak. That's what was confusing me so much as to if you were even the Beta's daughter...""You didn't think I was my father's daughter?" I interrupted. "You thought they lied?""Let's face it, Mari, your pack have been far from great at telling the truth. And, while we have yet to uncover the truth regarding Rafe, I think you know as well as I do the truth we will likely find. So, yes, I doub

Chapter 56 - Carter

I couldn’t help but stand frozen in what felt like shock at Mari’s words. No. They made no sense. Why would anyone drug themselves with wolfsbane, knowing the damage it could do. At high doses, it had the potential to kill. If she did not know what she was doing, it could end her life... Even if she did know what she was doing, she had to know it would hinder her wolf. This girl was a Beta wolf. She held a powerful wolf inside of her. So, why would she wish to hold her back? Impede the powers her wolf could provide for her?All any young werewolf waited for as they approached their coming of age was to meet their wolf. And Mari was a daughter of a Beta. This meant the wolf she would gain would be on another level. The only thing better, was an Alpha. So, this made no sense to me. I looked toward Mari in confusion. Completely puzzled by the girl who stood in front of me. And, as expected, the girl could not meet my eyes.I had known there was something different about her. Something a

Chapter 58 - Carter

Anger had raced through me. But the instant Mari’s hand appeared within mine, I near flinched at the contact. Her skin felt so delicate against the course skin of my own palm. Her hand lingered within mine a moment or two longer than it needed to, and as she slipped it back into her pocket, I found myself missing its presence, yet not understanding why... Her big blue eyes were watching me. And my inside twisted in a way I did not know how to handle...So, instead, I focused upon what she had said. Mari's words had surprised me once more. She was doing it again. Carefully thought out words. And, as I looked down at what it was she had placed my hands, I was met with the sight of a memory stick. I raised my gaze back to meet the uncertain gaze of Mari.“This is…” I began, instantly knowing what this was likely to signify.“Everything you asked for.” She interrupted, and shock coursed through my body. The girl had been terrified. Unsure of the outcome if her pack was to discover the bet

Chapter 57 - Mari

I had no clue where the braveness had come from to try to manipulate the Alpha, but at that moment, I knew that I had very little option but to try. I could not risk him going to Alpha Aaron. I didn’t know for certain that he knew the depths of the use of wolfsbane within my home. I was aware that there had been times it had been questioned, but sadly, I also knew that my father did what he did best, and covered it up. Covered his tracks. He simply had dismissed it as mere punishment. And, as a pack that allowed the use of the poison, nothing further was said.I think a part of me had wondered so many times over the years if Alpha Aaron was suspicious of the man my father had become but was too terrified to question it. The man, after all, was his lifelong best friend. A man who was grieving. Besides, it would look bad against our pack, and to them, that was all that mattered...But, should Alpha Carter go my Alpha, demanding answers, it would open up a whole can of worms I did not th

Chapter 59 - Mari

I had rushed away from Alpha Carter with the heaviest feeling within my chest. I had done the worst thing imaginable. I had not only gone against my family. I had betrayed my pack. I just had to pray I was never found out. But, when Alpha Carter brought his findings to the forefront, I knew I was not going to stand a chance…My mind was spinning, but the moment I stepped through the door I did not have a second to think. “Where the fuck have you been?” My father’s voice boomed from the kitchen the second I stepped into the house.I released a heavy sigh at my father's words, as I closed my eyes momentarily. Needing that second to gather myself. I knew there was no hope of a quiet night now. All hell was likely to break loose...“Dad, you know where she has been.” I heard Leo trying to defend me. "This has all been arranged through the Alpha. Mari has no control over the hours she works."I heard what sounded a lot like

Chapter 60 - Carter

I had sat at my laptop in the conference room, my hands shaking as my eyes took in the evidence provided to me. Mari had done exactly as I had asked of her; but as I sat and took in what was in front of me, I could not help but wonder if she knew what that meant for her… for her family. Either way, I knew I needed to speak with her. Thank her. The girl had given me what I needed.Without waiting, I stood from the desk and walked out of the conference room we had been assigned and along the hallway of the packhouse toward my room. My head was spinning with the thoughts that lingered there. I had known something had not been right. I knew something did not add up, but did I think for a moment it could be something like this?‘Regardless. This needs dealing with.’ Draven’s voice of reason interrupted my chain of thoughts as it began to run away with itself. 'That is what you came here for, Carter.'I knew my wolf was right, but now I had th
