Fear

CaraAs an Omega in one of the biggest packs in North Idaho, I've long accepted the harsh life my status brought upon me. My name is Cara, and I'm an orphan. I lost both parents in one night. During a collective hunt neither of them wanted to join, but were forced to do so by our arrogant Alpha Markus. I was sixteen then, and ever since their death, life has been hell for me and my sisters. My mother taught me the importance of the mate bond. She told about the mating ritual, how I'd first be bred by my mate in front of everyone, then marked by him. I hadn't given much thought to it until tonight.Tonight. I'll be bred and marked by my mate tonight. I've had a whole lifetime up till this point to prepare. But now, all I want to do is bolt out of this room and run away, faster than my legs can carry me.If Mother were to be alive and I tell her about my fears, I know she'd pinch my chin and say, "Weakness is of the mind. Confront your fear head on and watch it flee."I miss her.I know

Dress

CaraOutside, a Beta with dirty blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes snorts as he gives me a once over. My throat tightens, self-consciousness creeping in. He cocks his head to the side with a snort. "This is what you wasted my time for?" I bite my bottom lip as he shakes his head and twists away. "Silly."I exchange glances with Hana, contemplating if I should change the dress or something but she pushes me, whispering. "What do you think you're doing just standing there? Pay him no mind and hurry after him."I nod, and wasting no time, take quick steps after him over the sharp stones that filled the path from our shack, past the major entrance of the Omega quarters, to the pack village. The run down shacks morph into nice buildings as we advance, smoke curling from their chimneys into the bright night sky. Our pack territory is set off from the wild by strong, barbed wire fences. It's been effective in keeping the rogues and zombies off. According to a reliable source, the zombies hav

Rejection

Cara“If you want to play tough, then I'm game.” He growls, tossing me onto his bed, a fierce hunger in his eyes. “I love a good challenge every once in a while. I prefer a mate who fights, than one who just cower and lays there like a sack. Undress yourself. Now.”I bounce on the mattress and rush, dragging my knees forward as I curl myself close to the wall, far away from him, my heart pounding wildly against my chest for escape. Fear makes me rigid. Makes me slow and before I know it, he leans over and catches my arm, then drag me toward him. His hands fall in my gown, his nails digging through the thin fabric, ripping it even more.Seized with fear, a scream wrenches out of my throat, and I tussle him off blindly, launching a well-targeted upper cut at his jaw. “Leave me alone, you monster!”He barely stumbles back from the impact of my fist against his jaw. When I try to throw him a second punch, he catches my hand, his lips curling up into a manic smile, his eyes hovering over m

Flight

CaraI hurry to his sides, clasping my hands together. If Markus finds out, he'll kill me and my sisters. Possessing magic is highly intolerant. "I'm a mere wolf like you Ronan," I insist, fear making me choke. "I'm not a witch. I swear. Please don't go. Let's make this work. I promise I won't resist you." I reach for his hand but he flips me off, his face scrunching up, lips twisting in disgust."Don't fucking touch me, you filthy witch. I, Ronan Astor reject you, Cara Archer as my mate. From this moment forward you cease to exist to me. Get out of my way!" He shoves me aside roughly, grabs his belt from the floor, and storms out.Pain engulfs my body, slicing right through my chest and core, my wolf whimpering at his words. My knees buckle, as the fire spreads around my body, my shoulders slumping, back hunching until I lay, writhing on the ground, broken from within."No. Please. D-Don't do this..." I plead, extending my left hand toward the direction of the door where he left from

Death

CaraCaraVoices from farther in the pack territory reach me. They're searching for me, coming this way.Desperately, I throw myself into the gap in the wire fence.Someone seizes my arm from behind me, pulling me back into the darkness behind my hut. Fear punches me in the gut as I stumble back around, tripping over my own feet. I jerk my head up to a dark form standing over me, a snarl slipping past his lips.Ronan.Shit!"You fucking bitch!" The punch comes out of nowhere and I don't see it until it collides with the side of my face. My legs crumble under me, and I'm screaming with agony as I fall over. Pain spreads up the side of my head, and my vision blurs in and out. I land on my side and stare out through the wire fence and to my sisters sprinting away. They are just two shadows vanishing, blending into the dark, already so far that I doubt anyone's noticed them leaving.Don't you dare stop.He grabs me by the arm and drags me across the ground, my head still spinning, my visi
