I am woken by a knock at my door. I groggily get up from my bed and walk over to open the door, to be greeted by Beta Tate standing there, a smile on his face. How can he be happy in a morning?! That is not normal.“Good Morning sunshine” he grins. “Thought I would come and wake you. Lessons start in an hour. Wondering if you were wanting some breakfast? If so, I can show you where the dining room is in the packhouse where meals are served.”I feel really conscious of the fact I am literally standing here in a pair of tiny shorts and a tank top, with my hair all over the place, looking like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards. I smiled awkwardly.“You could have called or texted?” I say.“Don’t have your number doll” he smiles. “anyone would think you don’t want to see me” He grabs his chest like I had mortally wounded him.I couldn’t help but laugh. “Well I am here in my PJs with no make up on, looking like a scarecrow.” I say touching my messed up hair. “So don’t really ap
I decided it was a safer option to wait for Violet outside of her room, then if she was ready sooner than I came back she wouldn’t have to wait for me or come looking for me. Good job I did too, as it really did not take her that long to get herself ready, I said half an hour, yet I think she was back outside her room in about fifteen minutes.She looked pretty cute too. Hair all washed, I would assume, as it looked damp, which likely wasn’t a good idea when it was cold out. But it made her hair look wavy. Her scent was even stronger now. Fuck it. That was making it so much harder for me and for Odyn to avoid taking in the smell of her. She smelled so good. This is going to be fucking difficult. I saw her looking at me puzzled.I quickly smile, “That was quick your highness” I teased. I can’t help but call her that after her being funny earlier.She rolls her eyes at me. “Will you quit it with that?” she asks, she genuinely sounds like she wasn’t happy.“Sorry” I shrug. “Me trying to
The breakfast was sweet of him, going out of his way to cook for me, so I didn’t need to face up to a dining room full of strangers when he realised I was feeling fed up. Makes it almost forgivable he was checking out my butt. Almost…He seems to be being really kind to me, but I am sure he is just trying to be nice because he has to be, yet when I suggest that he gets all defensive, so I am just going to leave it. I can’t be bothered, I need to be doing what I need to do, learn what I need to learn and hopefully they will let me leave.After I wash up the pots, pans and plates from breakfast, I see Tate watching me from the breakfast bar. I swear if he is checking out my butt again I am going to kick his ass…“You ready to go see Alpha?” he asks.Oh shit, I forgot about that. He mentioned it earlier, but didn’t really elaborate. I wonder if I am in trouble?“If I have to” I nod.“Well, you need to pledge to the Alpha and pack hunni, kind of a formality when joining a werewolf pack” h
What? I can’t leave? He seriously just said I can't leave.I feel fear rip through my body. Had they waited until I had pledged to the pack and him before telling me that? I thought I was coming here to learn about my heritage. Surely what happens then is my choice, is it not? I was trembling, I don’t know if it was anger or fear. My plan had been to learn and then leave. Had pledging to them taken away any choice I had?“Why?” I ask “I have no reason to stay once I learn what I need to, surely? My parents asked me to learn that was all.”The Alpha growls slightly. Shit, was that his wolf coming to the surface? I feel myself tremble even more, stumbling backward, wanting to get to the door. This is one big mistake. If he is growling, is he going to turn into his wolf and attack me? Have I angered him that much? But they can't keep me here against my will, can they?“Violet, you are safe here.” Tate tells me.Safe? Fucking safe when right now I have a big fucking bastard werewolf bloke
I walked out of Lachlan’s office, glad to get out of the tension in there. He was in a foul mood today, and Violet being so unsure of everything seemed to piss him off even more. Though at the same time she seemed to have no filter, which I have to say was kinda amusing. But you would think Lachaln would try to be a little more patient with her considering everything she has been through and everything she has suddenly found out, it has to be a hell of a mind fuck to find that out as an almost-adult and then being expected not only to accept it but also to have your life completely changed overnight.As we walked out of the room, I quickly removed my arm from around Violet’s shoulder, not able to deal with the tingling sensation of the mate bond and not react to it. Not to mention, I don’t want her beginning to question why each time we touch there is a weird sensation. So far I have tried to dismiss it as static shock, but surely pretty soon she is going to start questioning why this
The lesson was pretty simple and brief today. Tate decided to be kind to me and make the lesson shorter considering the other stuff I have had to do today, which I have to say I do appreciate. See he isn’t that bad after all. Certainly seems a nicer guy than his fucking grumpy ass Alpha. That guy seems to have a chip on his shoulder and is one seriously moody mother fucker.Though I suppose I may have been pissing him off being a moody cow too, but you would think he may have just a little bit of sympathy for me considering everything right now. But oh no, he expects me to be bowing down and kissing his fucking feet, it seems. Well, he is going to be seriously disappointed, cos that ain't about to happen.I'll try to be civil and that is likely as far as it will go, my mouth tends to have no filter if people annoy me. And he annoys me. A lot.The stuff I have learnt makes sense so far, and is pretty easy to understand, though I still find it pretty crazy that this stuff goes on and so
Well, lessons for today have finished, not wanting to force the poor lass into doing too much after having so much going on. Now we are strolling around the pack. I am quite happy walking around with this beauty by my side, not that she realises it. I don’t think she would even consider herself beautiful. She certainly doesn’t seem to come across as confident.But she is beautiful in an ethereal sort of way. Her eyes are such a beautiful shade of blue, I swear it feels like you could swim in them. I know I could get lost looking into them. That is why I try not to make direct eye contact with her too much, or else I know I am going to struggle looking away from her!The pack is nice to walk around, all neatly set out and well cared for. Our Alpha, Lachlan, always makes sure the pack is well taken care of. There are so many nice places to visit, and I want Violet to see that, see that the pack is not such a bad place after all.All she has heard about packs is damaging things, so I can
We sat by the lake, drying off in the late afternoon sunshine. Tate had headed into the cabin next to the lake to grab some towels. So it hadn’t been an abandoned cabin as I had first thought. Though in a busy pack like this, and going off how he described his times at the lake and how popular the lake is, it wouldn't make sense for it to be abandoned, I guess.I had taken the occasional sly glance at how chiselled this guy was. He was like he was sculpted out of rock or something. But I dared not let my eyes linger for too long in case he saw me, as that was not something I wanted to be explaining to him, nor did I want teasing for.“So you lived with Della since your parents died, I guess?” Tate asked. “She seems a sweet old lady.”Ha, she would get him for calling him that. She hated being called old. Though in truth I guess that is exactly what she was now. It is never nice having to admit it to yourself, I would assume though.“Yeah. And she is far from being a sweet old lady. Sh
