Belinda POV © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“What are you proposing”, Raymond asks me. “My aunt knows a few witches who may be able to help us get Lake on board with mating me.” Raymond looks at me suspiciously. “I know my son is soon to be Alpha of this pack but why do you want him so badly.” “Let’s just say this is perfect timing for me to make sure that my mate is not an omega.” He laughs and I’d like to smack that grin right off his face. “The goddess chose an omega for an Alpha’s daughter.” “She does have quite the sense of humor.” “There is nothing funny about this situation.” “Besides you stand to gain more member and more land by our mating.” “Are you in or not Alpha Raymond?” He extends his hand out and I take it to shake. “I think that’s a brilliant idea but there better not be any mistakes.” I pull my hand away. “This is just as important to me as it is to you Alpha.” I’m just about to get up to leave when there is a knock on the door. The door opens and a pretty woman holding a tray is standing there. She looks older than me but younger than Raymond. “Jessica, what do you need?” “I brought you something to eat and drink.” “You work too much and always forget what is important.” He rolls his eyes at her.

“Just set it down and when I’m finished talking to Belinda, I’ll get to it.” “Belinda, this is my Luna, Jessica.” She turns smiling at me but her smile doesn’t reach her eyes. I can already tell she is a b**ch. “Would you like something to eat or drink, Belinda?” “No thank you, I was just leaving.” “I have some calls to make.” I leave the office and head to the room that Lake showed me too. My father believes in goddess given mates and would have wanted me to take William despite his rank. William is an omega in our pack. I cannot be mated to an omega. I will not have an omega take over as Alpha of my pack. William turned eighteen a few days before I came to the pack but I’m not eighteen yet. I still have to formally reject him when I get my wolf in a few days. He was pathetic begging me to accept him.

I dial my aunt because my father would never agree to help me. She picks up on the third ring. “Hello my beautiful niece” she says. She has been like a mother to me since my mother died when I was a

child. “Aunt Esmerelda I need your help.” “What’s wrong, are you alright?” I tell her about my mate and of course she agrees that he isn’t good enough for me. “I am at Alpha Raymond’s pack but his son is refusing to mate me because he wants his fated mate.” I know she is rolling her eyes without even seeing her. “Dear goddess he sounds just like your father.” “I love my brother but you would think an Alpha would know better.” “What can I do to help baby girl?” I smile at her pet name for me. “Can you see if one of your witch friends can make something to persuade him pick me.” “I will talk to them and reach out as soon as I have any news.” “Thank you, Auntie.” I hang up and flop down on the bed. It’s just a matter of time and Lake will be mine.

Lake POV

I’m in my office with Jason discussing our upcoming ceremony when I start to feel really hot. I can feel the sweat pouring off my skin. “Lake, are you alright?” “I’m not sure I feel hot and my skin is crawling. “Lake, go outside, it’s time” Razor says. “It’s time to finally meet each other”, Razor says. I’m going to shift for the first time. “I’m going to shift Jason.” I run downstairs and outside with Jason on my heels. I’m glad he will be here for this. It should be my father, but honestly, I would rather it be Jason if it can’t be my mate. We make it to the clearing and the heat has completely engulfed my body. My skin feels prickly and the pain knocks me to the ground. “Breathe through it Lake”, I hear Jason say. The pain is unlike anything I have ever felt. Every bone in my body starts to crack and they feel like they are breaking all at once. “Just hold on, Lake, we are almost there” Razor says to calm me. After the longest fifteen minutes of my life, I look down at my beautiful silver paws.

Razor and I are one. I look up and Jason is smiling from ear to ear. “You look awesome man.” I would laugh if I could at his words. Razor puts his head toward Jason and he reaches out, rubbing down his forehead. Without any warning, Razor takes off at full speed. I have never felt anything like this in my life. It feels like we are flying as we move through the trees. Razor runs until we come to a stream that is on the edge of our territory. He bends down to drink and for the first time, I see my wolf face to face. He is magnificent. Alpha wolves are always bigger but he seems huge. His silver fur looks like silk. He

has beautiful green eyes that are more intense than mine. “I know I’m great”, he says. I laugh “I didn’t realize we could talk when you’re in control.” “We are one Lake, we can always talk.” “You are awesome, not that I want you to get a big head or anything.” We run for another twenty minutes before we decide it’s time to shift back.

We take off back toward where we left Jason in the clearing. He is sitting on the ground and it looks like he got me a pair of shorts. I didn’t even think about taking my clothes off with everything that was happening. “Razor, how do I shift back?” “Think about yourself with human features.” “Picture your face, arms, and legs.” As I do, I feel my bones reconfiguring. It is uncomfortable, but nothing like shifting into my wolf. I know that every time we shift it will become easier and less painful. Jason throws the shorts at me and I slip them on. “How was it?” “It hurt like a b**ch but it was worth every bit of the pain.” “It was amazing.” We head back toward the pack house. Once we are inside I toward the stairs that lead to my room. I pass Jessica who is on her way down. “Lake I’ve been looking for you.” She looks at my n.aked torso and I want to puke. She isn’t as old as my mother but she is mated to my father. “What do you need Jessica?” “I thought you would be upstairs with your father, I brought you two lunch.” “As I told you before, I don’t need you to get my meals for me.” “I’m grown and I can feed myself.” “You definitely look grown” she says as she looks up and down my body. I start up the stairs and don’t even give her a response. I’m just turning eighteen and she is looking at me like meat.

I jump in the shower and throw on sweatpants and a t-shirt before I head to my father’s office. I knock but there is no answer. I can smell his scent so I know he is inside. I push open the door and my father is lying face down on his desk. I check him and he is breathing and has a pulse. I pick up the office phone alerting the pack doctor before I scoop my father up. I carry him through the back entrance of the pack house and to the pack hospital. A few pack members see me but honestly, I could care less. He is barely breathing and if he dies, they will know he is sick. The doctor meets me in the waiting room with a gurney. He pushes him toward the back. “We will give you news as soon as we have answers”, the doctor says before they wheel him through the double doors. I take a seat in the waiting room. Thoughts flood my mind, but the biggest one is what is happening to my father. He has never

been sick and now he isn’t anything but sick. Wolves don’t get sick, so what is causing all this? I know he is an a**hole but I pray the doctors figure out why this is happening. He is the only family I have left.

Gabriella POV

I am walking to my locker at the end of the day. I throw my books inside and when I close it Bret is standing there holding a flower. A yellow rose, to be exact. As much as he pissed me off yesterday, I’m sure he was trying to be helpful. As long as he understands that we are friends and I’m the Alpha, I won’t stay mad. “It’s a friendly peace offering” he says smiling at me. “An apology for being a dufus.” I laugh “friends only and I accept your apology.” He smiles and I grab the flower along with my bookbag. I start to walk to meet Serina and Bret walks next to me. When Serina sees us coming, she looks confused but she doesn’t say anything. We walk in silence back to the pack house. “We will see you at training, Bret.” He nods heading in the opposite direction of us. As we walk upstairs, I can feel Serina’s tension. “Serina, what’s wrong?” I can tell she doesn’t want to say anything but I know my sister. “It’s ok, just tell me what you’re thinking about.” “I think Nicholas is right about Bret.” “I don’t know what it is but I want you to be careful with him Gabby.” “I promise you just like I told Nicholas, he is only a friend.” “I have no intentions of being with anyone but my mate or someone I fall in love with.” “I don’t feel that way for Bret.” “We are only going to be friends and I made that perfectly clear.”

We head into our room and I can see that Serina is less stressed. Once we are dressed, we head to training. Hopefully, today will be less eventful than our last training session. We reach the field and Levi is already starting to warm the warriors up. Cynthia comes to stand by us and we join in. I notice warriors are surrounding the training field. My father must have ordered extra protection for the non- shifting wolves. He really is a great alpha. Once we finish training, we head back to the pack house. I head to my father’s office like I do every day after training, but I stop in my tracks when I hear my father yelling. I can’t recall ever hearing my father yell at anyone. The yelling stops and the door opens. “Come inside Gabby” my father says. When I walk in my Uncle Harris is sitting in front of my father’s

desk along with my grandfather River. They both come over to hug me before we all take a seat. “What’s happening dad, why were you yelling?”

“I wasn’t yelling at Harris and grandpa.” “I’m frustrated that those rogues made it far enough into the pack to get near the non- shifting wolves.” “I haven’t been able to find out anything about the wolves” Uncle Harris says. “It’s like they came from nowhere” grandpa says. “We still have connections in the rogue world and none of the surrounding packs know anything about these five wolves.” “Could they have just been desperate to get supplies and looking for a way to get them in this pack?” “If that were true Gabby there are many other smaller packs that would have been easier targets.” “So, they specifically came to this pack.” “I believe we were the target but we can’t figure out why.” “The last rogue attacks were when you were a child and Thomas was still alive.” “Could this have anything to do with him?” “It’s been many years and Lawrence the pack leader was killed with Thomas.” “I can’t imagine that any member of Lawrence’s pack if they survived would wait all this time to want revenge.”

Kenneth POV

“Did any of the men make it back?” “Did you really expect them to Kenneth?” “No, but I was hoping we could get a least a little information from our little exercise, Derrick.” “You mean the suicide mission you sent the five men on.” “Derrick, are you questioning how I run this pack.” “Kenneth, I have always been loyal to you and so have the men.” “I just think that we should be building up our numbers if you plan on taking on a pack like Scarlett Howl.” “I agree but you would do well to remember who is in charge Derrick.” “Start reaching out to some of the rogue packs in the area.” “Don’t mention Scarlett Howl to them just yet.”
