~Lindsey~ “Lin, wake up. We need to go.” I slowly open my eyes as my dad’s voice pulls me from sleep. I glance over at my clock, thinking it’s way too dark for 6AM. “Dad, it’s 2 in the morning. Why are you waking me up?” I say groggily. “Because we’re getting out of here. Tonight.” I look at him through squinted eyes, still trying to wake myself up. “What do you mean getting out tonight? Where are we going?” “Hunter told me. And I’m not putting your safety at risk. Not for a second longer. The watch is changing in an hour. I’ve got everything we need packed already. Once we’re established in Black Forest, I’ll send for the rest of our things.” That gets me awake. The slight sting of betrayal and the realization that he means leaving. The pack. My friends. His work. People who are like family to us. “Dad I don’t know what Hunter told you -“ “We can talk about everything on the way. There’s a car waiting across the border for us. Uncle Rob is ensuring our safe passa

~Brady~ I lay awake thinking about what could possibly have my dad so upset that he walked out of dinner without a single word. Mom always makes such a big deal about us eating together every night as a family. Sometimes it’s our only time together during the week. What’s more nerve wracking is the fact that she didn’t scold him, didn’t say a word. Mom has no problem putting Dad in his place. Ever. Which is quite entertaining when your dad’s job is bossing everyone around and running a pack of werewolves flawlessly. But the look she gave him? It’s got me restless tonight. The last time I saw that look in her eyes, we were attacked the very next day. I was only 10, but I remember it like yesterday. The rogues from the mountains attacked the south border. Somehow our Gamma found out as he was running from a neighboring pack and overheard some idiot talking about “Black Forest’s weak spot”. Let’s just say it wasn’t weak much longer, but we still lost three warriors. So now I’m sta

~Lindsey~ I woke up in a panic, not knowing where I was. Then it all came rushing back. Crossing the border at 3am, meeting a Beta friend of Uncle Rob’s, watching as Dad joined a new pack through the blood covenant, getting assigned a warrior for the rest of the night, settling into a new house in a new place with only new faces. Sadly that wasn’t a nightmare. I check the time, seeing that it’s 10am. I haven’t slept this long in ages. I’m usually one of the first wolves at 7am training, and I love watching the sun rise every morning from my window as I get ready for the day. I get out of bed and go to the bathroom. This house is much smaller than my old one. Dad has already laid out everything I need for my morning ritual, from a toothbrush to fresh towels. I turn on the shower and hop in. Last night I cried myself to sleep after I finally let myself feel. Now all those emotions threaten to resurface. I’ve got to find a way to overcome this. I hope Dad has a new phone for m

~Brady~ My alarm goes off at 6, but I didn’t sleep at all; too much was on my mind. I go downstairs to the kitchen to grab coffee and a granola bar before I begin my walk to the gym. I mind link Colton and Grant, my future beta and gamma. “We have some things to discuss today. Plan on a run to the packhouse after training.” “Ugh dude stop being such a hard ass. Can’t we take a day off every now and then?” Grant lazily says. “Sounds like you’ve had a long night. Who was it? Lacey or Deanna?” Colton mocks. Grant is definitely a ladies man. Not saying we don’t all enjoy a good roll in the hay. Grant just indulges the most. “Neither. I had a strange feeling in the middle of the night. I couldn’t shake it until well after 4. Now this morning Dad is gone. So something is definitely up. Spill the beans, Almighty Alpha.” That got my attention. Grant never loses a night of sleep. An entire construction site couldn’t keep him awake. And stress? I’m surprised the guy even knows t

~Lindsey~ After breakfast, Dad and I prepared to head out to buy some essentials. I open the door and almost run into an enormous man. I gasp and take two steps back, almost falling into my dad. “Lin, it’s ok! This is Mr. Matt. He’s here to make sure we’re safe. I’m sorry. I completely forgot to tell you.” I take a deep breath in and try to compose myself. “It’s ok, Dad. It’s nice to meet you Mr. Matt. I’m Lindsey.” I extend a hand to greet him. “Nice to meet you, Lindsey. Sorry if I scared you. I probably would’ve decked someone if they were standing outside my door.” Mr. Matt jokes as he installs a doorbell with a camera. I let out a laugh. “Well I guess it’s a good thing it’s me and not you.” “That’s true,” he replies with a smile. “I have a daughter about your age. Her name is Callyn, but we all call her Callie. She’s a senior at the high school. She’s a handful, but I hope the two of you will become friends. I’m almost finished setting up the security cameras. Shoul

~Brady~ After practice wraps up, Grant, Colton, and I head for the packhouse. We shift, and I fill them in on the way back. “Did your dad tell you anything this morning?” I asked Colton. “Not really. Just said he had to check the border and take care of a situation. You know he won’t give anything up.” “Damn. I just feel weird about this. Our dad’s keeping secrets, a beta from another pack helping two of his pack mates leave in the middle of the night? There’s something going on.” “You’ve got a point. If they needed to transfer them, the proper paperwork and everything would have been processed. And they wouldn’t cross over in the middle of the night.” Colton wonders aloud. Grant looks at us like we’re idiots. “I think you’re missing a big point here. If they were in danger in the pack or causing problems, why wouldn’t Alpha Walt have contacted Alpha Cam? Or better yet, why wasn’t he there? Who gives a damn about paperwork? They literally have each other’s phone number

~Lindsey~ After shopping we take a quick grocery run to pick up some fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat. There were basic essentials and shelf stable items already in the house, but Dad believes in cooking healthy meals. Probably the doctor in him feels a little hypocritical telling others to do the same if he doesn’t. We decide to take the scenic route home to scout out where everything is. I know Dad can mindlink anyone in the pack if he needs something, so I know it’s mostly for my benefit. The radio plays in the background as we check out shops, neighborhoods, and restaurants. I get the oddest sensation when we pass the school and the pack gym, which are barely a mile apart. It almost feels like I’ve been wrapped in a warm hug. I look back at Dad, but he’s deep in thought. It happens again when we pass the pack house. I can’t help but wonder why; maybe once Dad became part of the pack, I started to feel more at home. “Lindsey, I’m sorry, but I have mandatory training at

~Brady~ I’m going to kill these two idiots. We come in the gym at 5 to see our dads and Alex, one of our head warriors, standing at the front. They rarely all show up at the same shifter training. Usually they divide up between the early session and the late session, which starts at 8pm. No need for all the leaders in the pack to be in one place at one time. “Welcome to training!” Dad shouts over the assembled wolves. “This afternoon I think we’ll mix it up. Let’s do some sparring. We’ve come up with some fair matches that should challenge everyone. Once you find your opponent, find an area in the gym or courtyard to spare. Remember, no cheap shots. We don’t need anyone with serious injuries.” He starts calling off names. One by one they shifted and got to work. I noticed Grant, Colton, and I weren’t being chosen. “Maybe they forgot about it. We got off the hook!” Grant chirped through the mind link. “Don’t bet your sweet ass on it.” I’m staring at my dad. He’s got a ha

~Brady~ Dad and I head back for the end of training. We all usually go for a run and let our wolves have a moment to bond. Everyone has started to gather outside, just a few stragglers finishing up their matches. “Come. I want you to meet our newest pack member. He arrived last night.“ Dad says through the mindlink. What the hell? He just drops that information on me like it’s nothing. Guess it’s time to play dumb. “Why did he join our pack? Where’s he from?” I ask immediately. No need to beat around the bush if I’m going to get information this easily. “White Fang. Some pack drama had been going on. He needed to get out, and we can always use more doctors. He asked for a quiet entry. Kinda wants to fly under the radar from what I hear. They want to have a fresh start.” “They?” “Yeah. He’s got a daughter about your age. Pretty little thing. Seemed kinda shy. I’ll expect you and the boys to be on your best behavior. She could probably use a friend. Sounds like she ma

~Lindsey~ I hear the front door open. “Dad is that you?” No response. “Dad?” I call out again. I slowly make my way around the wall that blocks the view from the kitchen to the front door. It’s wide open. “Dad?!” I call again, panic beginning to enter my voice. A hand covers my mouth while another wraps around my waist. “Did you really think you could escape me?” a cruel, familiar voice whispers in my ear. “I’ve already taken care of your dad. Now you have no one. You belong to me.” I struggle as much as possible to no avail. He’s strong, much stronger than me. I twist, turn, wiggle. I try to bite him, kick him, pinch him. Nothing works. I continue my struggle, only to hear a sinister chuckle escape his lips. “Struggle all you want. You’re all mine Lindsey.” “No! NO!!!” I yell, continuing to fight against him. I scream with all my might. Suddenly I sit straight up, panting, looking into my father’s eyes. “Lindsey? Oh thank the goddess you’re ok!” Dad crash
