"Laura, come meet the leader of the Florida pack," Gary said, leaving Larry on the dance floor. "My name is Todd.""Hello," I said as his lips brushed against my hand."I was excited to meet you, Princess. A Gemini hasn't been born in centuries. I'd be honored if you danced with me "Todd described as his yellow eyes sparkled in the room. As I walked into the crowd, I took his hand in mine. He placed his right hand on my waist and the other on my hand. We danced our way around the room. Todd made up for my lack of dance ability."So you came all the way here just for me?" I inquired quietly as he laughed."Yes, Princess," he said, making me blush. "You have the power to determine who lives and who dies in the world. You may not be an Alpha, but you are far more powerful than you realize "Todd said something that piqued my interest."Thank you, but Gary is in charge," I politely replied."Ryan sent me to see you," Todd said, surprising me. "He found him, and he's coming for you, as he a
I awoke to a great deal of commotion. I jumped to my feet and dashed down the stairs to find my brother shackled in the living room."Scott!" I screamed and dashed towards him. Two strong arms wrapped around me and yanked me away before I could reach him. "Let go!""No, princess," Gary laughed as Jason approached my brother, knife in hand. "If I let go, you'd touch him and activate your full powers.""Jason, take a look at me!" I yelled, tears streaming down my cheeks. As I pleaded, he turned to face me. "If you ever cared about me, Jason, don't do this. Instead, murder me!""Do it, Jason!" Gary snapped as Jason's eyes welled up with remorse. I reached out, hoping to touch my brother. Only the prophecy and such strength could save him, I reasoned. I kicked Gary's leg as hard as I could. His grip loosened slightly as he grunted. As he threw me to the floor, I elbowed him in the stomach. I scrambled across the floor, trying to find my brother. A hand wrapped around my ankles, ready to y
We spent the entire night on the roof. I decided to keep watch while my brother slept.It felt oddly comforting to grip the gun. I looked over as Scott began to stir."Good morning," I said as he crept over to me. As I leaned against his shoulder, he sat down."Do you think we'll ever be able to live a normal life?" Scott's question brought tears to my eyes. I knew the answer, and I also knew it wasn't what he deserved."No. We have far too much power to ever live in the same way as the rest of the world. We are so powerful that they dubbed me Princess "Standing up in front of Scott, I exclaimed. "You deserve a life, and I'm sorry, but it's no longer possible!""I don't care, Laura," he said as tears streamed down my cheeks."Babe," Ryan said as he approached me. He cradled me in his arms, soothing me. "I guarantee you'll have a normal life.""The only option is to go to the council," I said quietly as he nodded. "However, Gary most likely has guards along the way to stop us.""You an
"How are we going to get to Canada if we don't have a car?" I requested that the car door be opened to wake the body guard who had missed the entire fight only to discover him dead in the front seat. I spun around on the ground, vomiting."What?" Ryan inquired as I pointed to the car. "Wow, I really liked Geo!" With anger flashing across his features, he said."I'm sorry," I exclaimed as I stood up. "How are we going to get to Canada?" I demanded once more."I suppose by bus?" Scott's words made me groan."I despise the bus!" As we walked toward the only bus stop for the next few miles, I grumbled. I took the gun from my brother and stood against the pole. I tucked it into my waistband and drew my shirt over it."Babe, just a little while longer and you'll be safe," Ryan said as I walked over to the phone booth to report the situation to council."Hello," the lady said."Hello, my name is Laura the Gemini lycan, and my pack tried to kill me. I've already killed the five of them and am
Scott's POVI sat up finding my sister laying on the ground beside me pale with her crimson blood staining the white snow. I scrambled over to her pulling her limp body onto my lap. Her head lulled back as tears raced down my face."Laura wake up!" I yelled holding her in my arms. I got to my feet scooping her in my arms carrying her toward where Ryan was. Her golden hair whipped my leg as her head bounced with each step I took. I knew she gave her life to save mine. Guilt and anger flashed through my body making me numb to the loss.Laura's POVI found myself floating in an abyss of darkness alone. It hit me like a wave that my own sister had killed me."Laura," I spun finding my mom standing there next to me."Mom," I gasped tears pooling in my chocolate eyes."Baby," she said as she took my hand in hers. As my thoughts drifted to Ryan, she tucked my golden hair behind my ear."I failed him. I let both my friend and Scott down "As pain racked my chest, I gasped."Honey Scott is stil
"Are you certain that having us as leaders is best for the pack?" I asked curiously as the woman laughed."I believe your abilities present a one-of-a-kind opportunity for your pack. It's possible that your pack will never have to fight again. Furthermore, you do not require the protection that other Alphas have. Your pack might be able to go to school and live a normal life "With a smile, the woman said."I just feel like I'm too young to be an alpha," I sighed as Ryan took my hand in his."A girl like you would have joined the council if an alpha wasn't needed because you are a natural leader," she said as I leaned against Ryan. We drove down the coast without stopping until we arrived at the Alpha compound. As Gary rushed to the cars to greet the council, we remained in the car."What brings you here, Alicia?" With a cocky grin, he inquired. I pushed open the door and walked out, smirking."Do you miss me? What about my younger brother?" I caught my brother as he followed me into t
A guard jolted me awake. I sat up, the sheet wrapped around my body, facing him."What?" I inquired, still groggy. As I looked at the guard, Ryan moved beside me."Gary escaped custody," he said, grumbling."I'll meet you down stairs in five minutes," I said as the guard walked away. I dashed to my closet, grabbed a black tank top and black leggings, and threw them on over my black sneakers. I threw my hair into a messy ponytail and dashed down the stairs into the living room."He escaped two states over, but we needed to notify you," the guard explained as I nodded."Would the council like us to follow him?" As the guard stared at me blankly, I inquired."Usually you call them," the guard explained as he handed me the phone. Leaning against the wall, I dialed Alicia. Gary's words echoed in my head, and my heart raced.What exactly did he mean by regret?"This is Alicia," she introduced herself as I stood tall."I'm Laura, and I'm calling for instructions after hearing about Gary. Wou
"Scott," I called as he entered the room. He stood there, his eyes wide open."How are you going to get rid of his ass?" Scott inquired as tears streamed down my violet eyes."I'm unable to fight. Scott I discovered I'm pregnant. I'm safe, but the baby isn't if I fight "Ryan grabbed my hand and I gasped. "You must fight, Scott.""No, I couldn't even beat Brenda!" My heart dropped as he snapped. He was correct, but how was I supposed to handle this?"Ryan," I exclaimed as he forced me to face him. "If it appears that the entire pack is going to die, I must fight.""No, not the baby!" He spoke harshly."If I don't fight, the baby will die!" I yelled angrily. I drew away from his arms and followed Ronald to the guardian compound. I stood there, grabbing as many weapons as I could to keep from transforming into a Lycan. I sat down on the roof while holding the guns. As Ronald organized the rest of the pack, I held the guns. My heart raced as Gary approached my army. I took aim, but he was
