She stays uptight unless she is near Gabriel, always putting on an act.” I covered my mouth to conceal my laugh threatening to escape my mouth as he pretended to be her “oh, Gabe! Baby, this, baby, that.” Throwing his hands in the air in a dramatic way to exagg

rent Alpha and Luna to let Samantha be betrothed to Gabe. Once Gabe found out about what they were trying to do he lost his sh*t. He is a nice guy, but when he is mad you can tell he has alpha blood in him. The guy spews authority and he is only nineteen years old. Gabe’s mother and father would never make him take a mate that he wasn’t happy with. I know some packs still do that kind of thing though. That is one thing that I can say about our pack. Our Alpha and Luna ru

would be confusing still to humans who don’t know that werewolves are real. I shut the door to my room. With my back pressed up against the door, I let out a long sigh. It was almost like a breath that I had been holding. I looked around the room…my room. I knew I wouldn’t be a prisoner to Alpha Thane forever, I would escape through death if I had to. Right now, standing in this room, realization hit. I was on my own. Sure, I have a pack again, and they are all nice and welcoming. This is me on my own for the first ti

-left corner was a long modern window spanning from the ceiling to the floor. There wasn’t a place to hang curtains over it. I wouldn’t want to cover that view anyway. There was lush green grass covering the property that had a slight roll in the landscape. Even though it wasn’t flat, the way it was arranged made it like looking at a picture rather than out of a window. Following the long length of the property, I could see the view of a beautiful lake. The sun was starting to set and there was a red sunset that reflected on the water. I was on the fourth floor. I had to strain to see straight below me. A walkway that looked just like the one I saw while I was in the dining

y left was a long marble vanity that took up the full length of the bathroom wall. A single built-in sink was located to the left side of the vanity and a chair was positioned to the right side of the sink. It’s the perfect place to apply makeup. The mirror attached to the wall above the vanity, fills the rest of the space on the wall. It ran all the way to the top of the ceiling with lighting conveniently aligned in a rectangle running around the entire edge of the mirror. Between the sink and the chair was a buil

own to his shoulders. I know if he ever cut it, he wouldn’t feel like my dad anymore. Tears fell onto my bed, as I looked at their smiling faces. I placed the picture back into my diary and closed it. I slid my diary into the drawer of the bedside table. I continued to empty the contents of my backpack onto my bed, being careful not to let my backpack touch the blanket. It was dirty and torn from my time running through the wilderness. Once empty, I tossed my backpack into the trashcan next to my door. Turning my attention back, what little I had left of my childhood home I took my only change of clothes which were my favorite gym outfit I used when I trained. It was a cute peach colored twist back sports bra and leggings. I unpacked an extra pair of shoes. They weren’t the same color as my outfit, but they still matched. I w

limbed in. I snapped the lamp next to me off. Once my eyes adjusted, my room was dark. The only light came from the window. The moon light shined through producing a soft light that covered my room. My mind wandered to Alpha Gabriel. Remembering his face in my mind. I thought about his possessive silver eyes. They were dangerous, but invited me in. His tossed black hair gave off that sexy bad boy vibe. I thought about his beaming bright smile, and that heated smirk that he gave me today. Then his body…The way his muscles were hardly contained beneath his shirt. I thought about how his ab muscles must
