Prologue

With great power comes great responsibility. I always thought it was one of those things my father just said until I read that Voltaire said it first. In the beginning, it confused me. What great power? My life was semi-normal, if you took into account that I was the crown prince of Scotland and my father was the king.I was enrolled in a normal high school. During the week I stayed at the boarding house and went home on weekends. Nobody in school knew who I really was though, because royal lines in our society were not acknowledged by humans.I was a regular sixteen-year-old and I got into trouble occasionally, just like my father and his father did. I tried not to get involved in fights because I started training at the age of six and I shifted for the first time when I was ten, which was unheard of.I was cursed and blessed at the same time. The curses started early in my life as I faced expulsion and my father’s look of disapproval as we stood in the principal’s office was enough

Part 1

My name is Jericho and I’m my father’s biggest regret and disappointment. Malachi tried to tell Kai about some prophecy about me but he was pulled back into the realms of the dead before he could reveal anything about it to my father.My life was pretty good for a while. I went to school and I joined training sessions on weekends with my father’s Zetas. I lived in a castle where everything was done for me. I had never even made my own bed and I had always gotten everything I wanted.I’m the oldest of three and I’m a mixture of my mother and father. I have one blue eye and one green eye. I have light brown hair, probably from my mother’s blonde hair, and my father’s tanned skin. I’m a few months shy of my seventeenth birthday and I have a year left of high school.My younger brother, Gabriel, is almost sixteen and my sister Adira is fourteen. Gabriel looks like Kai and Adira is a mixture of Adara and Adelie. We live in Oban, Scotland, and we have the biggest pack in the world with near

Part 2

I was laughing as my friends sang at the top of their lungs. We were all excited, dazed by the alcohol and not caring that we were breaking the law.“Let’s see how fast this bus can go!” Matheson yelled and I pressed my foot down on the gas.We were speeding down the road, all of us shouting fearlessly as I rounded the corner too fast. I felt the side of the bus lift up as I hit the curb and we started rolling. The screech of metal was horrific and I was thrown backwards into a seat and then against a window and the roof. I heard screams of pain and I smelled blood as the bus skidded to a stop against the perimeter wall of the school.My eyes closed involuntarily as I wondered if everybody was okay. I felt someone touch me and I heard faint voices as I tried to open my eyes but the flashing lights hurt them and the voices became clearer as I groaned and tried to turn on my side.“Get a stretcher in here!” I heard a voice call.“We’ve got you,” another voice said as a man lifted me and

Part 3

The drive back to the castle was done in absolute silence. Falcon didn’t say a word to me, but then again, he didn’t need to. I knew Kai was pissed at me, he was disappointed, yet again. I was still trying to come to grips with the fact that all my friends were dead and I’d driven them to their death.Falcon parked the SUV in the courtyard and I went straight to my room, my father didn't talk to me and five days of solitude had passed. It was a painful reminder of the shame I’d brought upon him. It hurt too, that he didn’t at least try to talk to me. The official police report came back and it was ruled as an accident. I hated myself and I spent my time in my room, locked away and I didn’t even talk to Slade. He regularly checked up on me and Brigitte brought all my meals to my room. The truth was that I was too ashamed to face anyone.I attended my friends’ mass memorial service from a distance and even from where I stood I could feel the hate of their families as they watched me, l

Part 4

Inside the envelope were two new social security cards, Jericho and Slade Cannon. He even took my name from me. It was a painful blow to my already fragile state of mind. I felt defeated as I opened the note and read it as tears threatened to escape again.“Jericho,The bank card holds your inheritance, use it wisely. You have no further claim on the St. Claire name and I suggest that you don’t try to use it. You’re on your own now, I hope you make better choices in the future.”The letter wasn’t signed but I’d recognize my father’s handwriting anywhere. I felt like a piece of my soul had died in that square. Slade opened my door ten minutes later with his own bag slung across his shoulder and I put the note back into the envelope. The bank card went into my wallet and I pulled a jacket on.“You should stay, Slade. You still have a future in this pack,” I said to him.“Not a chance, where you go I go. We’re brothers for life,” he said and smiled at me.“I need to say goodbye to my mot

Part 5

Blaise shifted underneath my skin but he still didn’t make any effort to talk to me. I couldn’t imagine living my life without his voice in my head. He had tried to warn me and I’d blocked him out. I knew he was mad at me and now I’d broken the connection between him and his father as well.Carter dropped us off at the airport in Aberdeen and he hugged us both. The four hour drive there had been in silence. Strange enough Slade and I could still speak to one another in our minds, our link remained as strong as ever.“Take care of yourself,” Carter said as he climbed back in the car.“Thanks, Carter,” I said.Slade didn’t say anything to Carter, but the look in his eyes told me that nothing good would come of it. Slade was a different breed of wolf. His world consisted of being loyal to me and nothing else mattered to him.Slade and I walked into the airport and stood in front of the multiple ticket counters. I was thinking of where we should go because we really were on our own now an

Part 6

The images took a while to load and I leaned closer to Kiran as the first picture appeared. Kiran scrolled through the images of all three properties. Slade and I smiled at the same time and looked at each other. It was the last property available.It was surrounded by natural groves of trees, almost like a forest and it was magnificent. It was secluded and the house was much too large for us, but the seclusion made it perfect. Our wolves would have space to run and the acreage of the property was perfect.“I’ll take this one,” Kiran said as he looked at our faces and I smiled.“Finance applications take a few days to be approved–” she began to say as she started typing again.“That won’t be necessary. I’ll be settling the whole amount with a bank transfer,” Kiran said to her and I looked at him.“Can we have a few minutes?” I asked her.“Sure,” she said and left her desk as I turned towards him.“Grandpa, what are you doing?” I asked him.“Buying you a house,” he said. “I can see how

Part 7

Slade had registered us for school the previous week and our bikes were delivered that Saturday afternoon. The house wasn’t furnished and that first night we’d slept on the floor in our wolf forms. The weekend was spent buying furniture for the bedrooms and a couch and television for the living room. We’d realized the error of our ways when we had to order take-out since we had no appliances, pots or pans or plates. We’d both laughed as we stood in the kitchen, not even able to make a cup of coffee for ourselves.There were two master suites on the third floor so Slade and I each took one. Every room in the house had their own bathroom and there was a guest bathroom downstairs just off the dining room. It was a massive house, but we both liked the space.From the front door, the house opened into a fairly big sized foyer which led to a large open plan living and dining room with the kitchen spread out at the back of the house. There were sliding doors everywhere and a lot of natural

Part 8

Slade and I glanced at each other. She was rambling, clearly still in shock as she kept looking from Slade to me. I knew she’d have questions for us. Our situation was a unique one, even in wolf circles.“You seem to know a lot about the packs in this area,” Slade said to her.“My father was a tracker but I was ranked as an Omega because my mother was one,” she said.“What’s your name?” I asked her.“Samantha, but you can call me Sam,” she answered.“So you caught our scent in the forest and somehow knew we’d help you?” Slade asked.“I smelled an Alpha and Beta and high ranking wolves running their own perimeter are usually not bad wolves,” Sam said. ‘Why do I still smell like an Alpha?’ I wondered to myself.‘Because you’re still an Alpha, the banishment didn’t break the bond between you and Slade so technically you’re a pack,’ Blaise answered me.“I thought a pack lived here,” Sam said as she looked us up and down.“It’s just the two of us,” Slade said and looked at me.“Thank you

Part 9

The weekend was busy and interesting. When we woke up on Saturday morning, Sam took the oath and pledged her allegiance to me and our pack. She instantly joined our mind link and she was amazed that we were able to communicate like this in our human form. I knew she would have plenty of questions because our situation was odd.Sam had a lot of questions and between Slade and I we told her the whole truth, from the bus accident to the banishment to coming to Cloverdale. She was sympathetic and I could see how her feelings went from insecure to taking over the role of our big sister. We had an instant bond with her and Slade and I both accepted her as our new sister. We were a family now.The instantaneous bond was a little unorthodox because Blaise pushed me to tell her everything. He hadn’t commented why, he only kept saying that Sam was with us for life. It was nice to have someone else in the house with us, someone that really cared about us.She took over everything concerning the
