Amelia decided it was time to make a beeline home. The last thing that she needed was a run-in with the ‘it’ girl of the pack. She touched her wound which had begun throbbing. She still couldn’t believe how her life had changed in a matter of just one bite. But it was something that she now had to accept, there was nothing that she could do about it. “I was waiting for you to come over and tell me that you’re leaving,” said Lucia as she smiled, bent forward, and hugged her daughter goodbye, “take another dose of the medicine as soon as you get home. It’s best that you rather get back and go and rest. Tomorrow is another busy day for you here in the pack. Tomorrow you get introduced to the training for the Omega rank that you will join the pack as. It is best that you get to know the other Omegas as soon as possible, that way you can make some friends and better settle into the pack.” Fear overtook Amelia and she began to visibly shake. If only her mother knew what went down between

“Any news about the Staint Claire pack?” Asked Conner, Alpha of the Olden pack. “No Alpha, nothing to report yet. Their compound is shut tighter than ever before,” reported Christian, Connor’s Second. “We need to find a way in. They must have a weakness that we can exploit. This is really starting to piss me off!” Connor’s fits of anger made the windows in his cabin reverberate. “We’re trying out best, Alpha. We’re sending out our best Scouts but they come back with no news at all.” Christian hated giving Connor bad news. He knew that it would make Connor all riled up and riddle him with anger. “Then I’m going out there myself!” Shouted Connor, as he rose from his chair, pushing it so hard that it slammed into the cabin wall, “if you want something done right then you clearly have to do it yourself!” His face was blood red with anger. He had been waiting for so long for his Scouts to one day come back with good news. But nothing. They always came back empty-handed. Half of the pac

The Olden pack limped into their compound. Battered and bruised. The poor first and second line went straight to their Salutary cabin. Pierce and Christian were immediately summoned to Connor’s cabin. “What the hell happened out there?” Asked Connor, his face as red as a beetroot. To say that he was angry would be an understatement. “How could we have lost to them yet again? Did you guys even try? I find it impossible that they beat us every single time we meet their Hunters. They aren’t made of rock, surely you did some harm to them?” Connor was out for blood and he wanted answers. “Our first and second line put up as best a fight as they could, Alpha.” Said Pierce, but he knew that he was going to get a tongue-lashing in any case. He always did. “Please tell me that we at least wounded some of their Hunters?” Asked Connor, as he hoped for a favorable answer. He ground his teeth waiting for the response. “No, Alpha, they were far too strong and outnumbered us three to one,” said

Blake looked up from his desk where he was signing business documents. “Yes, I’ve called you here for a very important reason.” Blake sat forward at his desk with his hands steepled in front of him. “As you are aware by now, we have a new member in the pack, Amelia. I’m not sure if you know her story?” “Yes, Alpha. I heard that she’d been bitten by a Rogue while out at the stream in the forest. How scary that must have been for her. I know that she feels all alone and seems to keep away from everyone else except her mother, Jax, and Catherine, one of our Salutaries which she’s befriended.” Chloe made it her mission to always know what was going on in the pack and who was locking heads with who. “She is going to be a special case. Yes, she has been bitten but we’re still not sure if she’ll turn. By the looks of how fast her would is healing, I think there is a good chance that she’s already turning. I’ve noticed a change in her appearance as well. She is looking much stronger than wh

Amelia had been gone from the human world for a few days now and was due for a shift at the library. She had already called to cancel two shifts and she didn’t want to lose her job. The job didn’t pay much, but it was her way of independence. Amelia woke up, got dressed, and kissed her mother on the cheek before leaving the compound to get to work on time, she hated hurrying. She had to admit that she was a bit afraid to walk through the forest by herself, thoughts of her attack were still fresh in her mind, but she wouldn’t let anyone else know about it. She’d hate for them to see her as a weakling. ‘The little pup who’s too afraid’. She squared her shoulders and entered the forest…praying all the way. On clearing the forest Amelia looked down to make sure that her shoes were clean from the loose grass and wiped the front of her dress down, just to make sure it too was clean and presentable. Amelia’s mouth watered as she walked past the town bakery. Mrs. Brown sure knew how to ba
