ShaneI was asked today to share a happy moment spent with my family, when I couldn’t think of one, I was asked to share any happy memory I had of my parents. Still, I couldn’t name one. Where familial bonds should pull me to them, an emptiness sits. If it weren’t for my twin sister I think I would have killed myself long ago.People think that I would look down on her or want her gone sine we are both technically heirs to the throne, but I would rather slit my own throat than to harm a single hair on her head. Had I been born an only child I firmly believe I would have killed my parents at an early age. Why do I harbor such hate towards them? Why do I not care about their expectations or low opinions of me?I was born with all of the memories from my previous life.Every terrible thing, every death, every time she chose him over me, I remember it all. As a child it was hard to sort multiple past lives out, but eventually I got the picture. I was doomed to an eternity of suffering, bu
My place in the world had always been chosen for me. My father the Alpha, my mother the Luna, and me, the future ruler of Half Moon pack. It had all been mapped out and it was my job to obey and follow his instruction.I’d known from a young age that the weight of responsibility would pass down to me. Despite knowing how that worked out in my previous lives, I clung to it, clung to responsibility, clung to my future title. It was the only thing I would have in this world.So I worked my ass off, slept around, and did as I was told. I did everything to be considered worthy of my pack. I did everything I could to be seen as worthy in my father’s eyes so that our agreement would be considered null. I would sacrifice, I would do anything to keep her safe even if she couldn’t stand me.My parents held no love for me, although I had a soft spot for my mother, I only had room in my heart for my sister. My kindness, my understanding only covered her. There were many things I grew up knowing I
Instinct told me to rip his throat out, slice his belly open, and pull his entrails out. I came to a stop, I stopped myself from making another move. As much as I wanted to kill him I couldn’t. Devin was my best friend. Even though pure hatred flowed through my blood, it isn’t his fault I haven’t told him about my feelings for Adea. The only person who could have suspected how I felt about Adea was too focused on herself. I loved my sister but she was dense. She didn’t notice the obvious, or she didn’t want to.I haven’t told anyone, but I thought I’d make it obvious that she was my play thing. I played with her, I couldn’t help it. I loved seeing the anger that flashed in her eyes when I did. It was the one time she dared look me in the eyes and I loved it when she challenged me. I needed her will to fight over her need to submit for me.I willed Max back and reminded him that this was Devin, our closest friend, our oldest friend, and our Beta. I would show him who Adea belonged to a
Shane4 years agoI didn’t like to listen to anyone, but Mavy could order me around and I’d listen. She demanded that I come with her to the hospital because she didn’t want to go alone. I hated hospitals and she knew it. I hated everything about them. The beeping noises, the smell of medicine, the sound of high heels click-clacking on the floor, and the smell of the dead that stained the walls. Mavy pulled on my arm as she whined about how slow I walked.“Hurry up, Shane! You’re not even trying!” Mavy yelled.“How would you know? You’re rushing like she’s going to leave,” I teased.“Shane,” Mavy warned.“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m coming, I’m coming,” I grumbled.“Walk like you want to get there today, not tomorrow,” Mavy whined.“It’s not like she’s going to be awake! We’ve been visiting all week and she hasn’t so much as twitched,” I said.I didn’t care that she hadn’t woken up yet. I didn’t like seeing her like that. I didn’t like knowing that she had been hurt so bad that she couldn’t
Adea has been living with us for two weeks now. She’s nothing like how I remember. It’s hard not to try and put her into the same box as the version of her I know. In this life, she is clumsy and no matter how hard she tries, she keeps making a mess. Her food isn’t too bad, but I try to avoid her as much as possible. Keeping my distance is hard because Mavy drags me along when they hang out. I pretend I don’t want to, but I like it when she makes me go. I’m sitting in my room throwing my basketball up into the air and catching it when Mom knocks on my door. She opens the door and peeks her head in.“Your father needs to speak with you,” she said.My throat constricts and I clench my jaw. Sitting up, I drop the ball to the floor and stand to my feet as it bounces. Mom steps out of the room and I start for the door. As I walk down the hallway, my father links me. Why have my mother come get me if he’s just going to link me?Come to my office, son.Yes, Alpha.Now.Coming.He cuts the li
“It’s not what it looks like. I didn’t mean to use that much force. Before I could help her, she got up and ran away,” I said. It sounded like an excuse. I wasn’t dumb, but I would at least answer truthfully.“We don’t hit females. Ever. Men shouldn’t use their strength against the weaker sex,” Father said. “And if you do, you do it in the privacy of your own home, not in the fucking open where the whole damn fucking pack will hear about it!”His restraint is hanging on by a thread. His wolf is also angry with me. He always give me the bullshit excuse about how we don’t hit females because they are the lesser sex, but look at him now. Today he admitted the truth. My mother doesn’t help me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel for her. I know that’s not the real reason he’s angry. I’ve embarrassed him. I lower my head and pretend to cower under his gaze, but I smirk.“I wasn’t trying to hurt her—”“You disappoint me,” Father said. My mom sobs.As if I could fucking care.Why is she cryin
ShanePresent DayAfter that day on the stairs, I couldn’t stay away from her. Even though I couldn’t have her the way that I wanted to have her, I needed her in my life. I needed to see her, touch her, hear her voice. So I did what every other boy did to girls they liked, I bullied her. She wouldn’t look at me if I didn’t piss her off. She wouldn’t give me the time of day if I didn’t say something that irritated her and I loved it. I loved seeing that familiar fire burning in her eyes. It reminded me of the girl I knew, the girl I knew she was deep deep down.Just the memory of her scent drove me crazy, it sent Max into a frenzy, so unless I could be in the same room with her the rest of my day was complete shit. I woke up early and made sure not to miss a single breakfast just so I could get that time with her.This morning I couldn’t help but touch her. Having her sitting so close to me, I moved before my brain could stop it. I made her uncomfortable, I made her nervous, and it mea
My bag was heavy as I walked down the hallway with Devin and Liam. They realized where we were going when we took a different turn. I made a habit out of going to seeing my sister at her first class. When I picked the guys up this morning, the first thing that Liam had asked was if Mavy needed a ride to school.My sister thought that Trent was her mate. I let her do her thing, but kept a close eye on them. Liam's infatuation with my sister was weird, but fine. I knew how he felt about her, but I also knew he would never act on it. If I’m being honest, I would prefer Mavy with Liam than her “Goddess-chosen” mate. Not only do I know care for the Moon Goddess, I don’t give one fuck about who she chooses us.My mate is someone I chose.Then and now.I wanted him to know where she was, keep tabs on her, and protect her if she needed. Mavy was an extension of myself. What the guys did for me, I expected them to do for her as well. I told them Mavy drove over with Trent and I wanted to make
