SloaneWhen Benedict pulled me into the center of the room, I was already uncomfortable. I hate being the center of attention. Nothing good ever comes of it. And after listening to those two she-wolves call trash, I'm not exactly feeling good about myself.Then, when he started telling everyone that I’m his competition for Valedictorian, I wasn’t sure where he was going.But when he agreed with his mother that I’m not Luna material, I finally understood. All of this, the attention at school, the invite to the party, the dance, pulling into the middle of the room, it was all a joke to belittle me in the most public way possible. No one could ever recover from being humiliated by Benedict Winslow, V.But the metaphorical punch to the gut that I was expecting, wasn’t the punch I received, although it was no less powerful.He knows and I can tell by the way that he’s smiling at me that my response to him just confirmed it.“How?” I whisper.“I keep my eyes and ears open and I pay attention

SloaneScarlet and I stayed up talking until the wee hours of the morning Sunday night. After her initial shock and me reminding her that I’ll be the first female Alpha so who cares if she’s the first female Beta, she was all in.We excitedly talked about everything that needs to be done and she agreed to go with me next weekend to let my grandparents know that I’m accepting their offer to take the pack.We talked about her probably having to challenge my grandfather's current Beta, Gabriel, for the Beta position, to which my amazing best friend scoffed.“As if that will be hard. Slade can defeat him and he’s eight years younger than that asshat.”When we finally went to sleep, I felt settled for the first time since Grandpa Waylon offered me the position of Alpha.The next morning, Scarlet left for school, while I took an extra moment to meet with Uncle Roman and Aunt Samara.“I talked to Scarlet last night,” I begin.“And?” Uncle Roman asks.“She agreed to be my Beta.”“Which means t

SloaneWhen Benedict pulls out of the parking lot, past the line of students who have stopped to stare at us, my lips are still tingling. I can still taste him. I don’t know what I taste like to him, but to me, he tastes better than anything I’ve ever tasted before.It’s probably why I get lost when he kisses me. I try to resist. I try to make the kisses short so we’re not stared at. But then his tongue is in my mouth and Aisling begins purring in my head. Then, my head begins to spin, and before I know it, we’re making a spectacle of ourselves.“So, are you going to tell me where we’re going?” I ask him.“Nope, but I will tell you that there is food involved. We have to stop and pick it up.”“We’re not eating at a restaurant?” I ask, surprised. I would have thought that Benedict would have taken me to some ritzy restaurant where I'd feel uncomfortable. I mean, that’s what Scarlet said she’d heard he did with other she-wolves he’s taken on dates. She did some recon for me after we talk

SloaneI watch as shock spreads across Benedict’s face. He begins blinking like he’s struggling to process what I’ve just said and his hand drops from my hair.I hadn’t intended to tell him, but Aisling has been loudly purring in my head and pressuring me to trust him all night. She’s all in when it comes to Benedict and Marrok.I’m not so easily convinced. That is until he forces me to see the truth in his eyes. He holds my gaze and challenges every reason my brain comes up with that he’s here with me tonight for any reason other than he wants to be with me.“So, you’re not a choice of successor. You’re an heir,” he says slowly, as if trying to comprehend what I’m saying.“I’m not just AN heir, Benedict. I’m THE heir,” I say quietly.“What do you mean?”“When my grandfather met my grandmother, his fated mate, he didn’t accept her. He didn't realize that she had Alpha blood. You know how second sons become Betas and second sons of Betas become Gammas, etc?” I ask.“Yeah.”“So, that was

ScarletI can’t believe that I’m going to be Sloane’s Beta. I’m so excited. Graduation can’t come soon enough. I can’t WAIT to see that asshole Gabriel’s face when I challenge him for the position of Beta. He is so unworthy of that title.But, all of that has to wait. Sloane hasn’t told Alpha Waylon and Luna Judith that she accepts her position as their heir, so she certainly hasn’t told them about me yet. And since she’s out schmoozing with BWFive tonight, I get to show up early to the pack and see what gossip I can find out for her. I’m sure slimy Gabriel will try to stick his nasty tongue down my throat again. Eww.I sigh. I really was hoping that Will was my mate. But he’s not, and I have to let that go. It’s not easy, but I want my fated mate. As great as Will is, there’s a reason the Moon Goddess chooses your mate for you. He may be amazing, and I know he’s perfect for someone, but he’s not perfect for ME. I’m not so arrogant that I think I know better than the Moon Goddess. But
