CHAPTER 1.
*Maddy’s Pov*
Maddy!
It’s time to get up...
You’re going to be late for school. Dad yells at me from downstairs.
I thought it would be fun if I tried to “play dead.” I remain quiet so he doesn’t know I’m already awake. Dad yells again, but this time he’s much closer, so I assume he’s coming up the stairs.
Entering my room, dad says, You know I’m aware you’re awake, right? Stop clowning around and get up.
Unless you want me to give you a wet willy, Maddy, you better start rising from your coffin and get in the shower. Enough games, goofy. If you miss school, then I’m going to make you go to work with me on the weekend.
Haha, I guess dad has had enough of my jokes because he pulled my blanket off of me. The action alone makes me giggle.
Please, Dad, a few more minutes?Maddy bear, not today.Maybe I’ll allow you to sleep in on Saturday before pack training, okay?
Fine, but I need a ride today. My car is still in the shop. “Oh,” can we stop at the drive through for a strawberry milkshake? It’s cheat day. Mama will not be forcing a green smoothie down my throat, hehe.
Dad laughed.
Well, it’s your lucky day, Maddy girl. I don’t have any early meetings at the office this morning.
Thank the moon. We get a little quality time together, daddio.
So Pop, the school counselor, sent me an email last night stating she needs to see me in her office before first period.
Dad, you think it has anything to do with getting into Brisbane college? Maybe I can get in early, after all.
Maddy, did you forget what today is?
It’s Monday Dad, big ol whoopty doo..Maddy.Let’s hear it dad, what is so great about today, huh? Dad gives me a stern look.It’s the first day of November. Your Mama asked me to remind you the Luna wants to sit down with you. To plan out your birthday celebration.
Thanks, big guy, please tell Mama Sonja I appreciate the reminder as well. Now out of my room, dad...
I need to get in the shower.Dad kissed me on the forehead as he left my room.I finished my shower.
Now I’m standing in front of my vanity in the bathroom. I cannot help but admire myself. I used to be a goofy-looking kid and now, according to my loved ones, I’m a natural beauty. My favorite characteristic about myself is the small freckles I have around my nose.
When I was young. I used to get teased. I was taller than most girls. Sometimes I was taller than boys.
I’m 5’9, weighing 140 pounds. My eyes are a golden brown and I have wavy dark brown hair with reddish highlights. I stay fit since I am the strongest female fighter in the entire pack. So my light brown skin has a nice golden tan. My best friend said I look like that famous human actress from that show Vampire Diaries.
Though they did downplay the Werewolves in the show. “Nina Dobrev is gorgeous.”
Going through my closet, I decided to wear a pair of my favorite black skinny jeans with a black Motley Crue T-shirt. On most days, I’ll wear my Chuck Taylors.
Since I’m feeling extra today, I’m going to wear a pair of black Saint Laurent Opyum heels that have a gold-toned metal ‘YSL’ logo heel. I love to get dolled up, but not during school hours, unless it’s a special occasion. Today I’ll make thee exception.
Taking my bag, I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Daddio. I’m ready to go.Sweetheart, I toasted myself a blueberry bagel and topped it with some cream cheese. Would you like one as well?Hell yes, dad I would love one, but can I get a pumpkin spice bagel instead of the blueberry? Dad grins, sure Maddy, anything for my baby girl.
Dad and I climb in his truck, on the way to school, we stop at foster freeze for my milkshake. The high school is on the south side of the pack territory. It’s a twenty minute drive away from our home. It’s also just a couple of blocks away from Grey wolves’ pack house.
My name is Maddy Roe Shaw and I’m from the Grey Wolves’ pack. My 19th birthday is two months away.
“I’m excited.”When I was a kid, I was from The Blue Moon pack.My parents had gotten a divorce. When it was finalized, my father moved us four kids with him back to his original pack. My Mother continued to live in the Blue moon pack with her new boyfriend, who is now my stepfather.
Once in a while, I’ll go visit my mother and Frank. mom had more kids with her husband, so I have half siblings.
The relationship I have with my Mother Claire and her family isn’t that strong.
My father, Ray Shaw, remarried as well. My step Mom Sonja is wonderful. Dad hit gold with her, but they never did have anymore children.
Together, they own a chain of automobile dealerships and a chain of construction business. I’m more than proud of their success.
Stepping out of the truck, I lean over and give dad a kiss on his cheek. Thanks for the ride, daddio Muah. As soon as I’m out of the truck, I get tackled. I can hear my dad laughing while driving away.
Bye Mr. Shaw, you’re still my favorite hot dad in this pack!
“Leah!” Stop checking out my father. It’s gross.
Ha ha oh come on Maddy. Don’t be a cock blocker! My best friend yells before running away.
“I’m going to vomit!” Chasing after Leah! I scream, Puta! Best friends can get an ass beating too!
Leah’s giggling comes to a holt when she blindly runs into another student. I recognize him. He plays on the football team with my boyfriend.
Hey Maddy. Jake has been looking for you.. I guess he went to pick you up for school this
morning, but you had left with your dad.
Thanks for letting me know Tommy. I’ll find him later.Thinking to myself.. I wish he’d told me he was going to pick me up. “Leah.” If you see Jake on the way to homeroom, “please let him know I had to go visit Ms. Marsh first.”
Jake has been my boyfriend since freshman year, now that we’re senior’s things have been a little rocky between us. It was bound to happen. We’ve known throughout high school that graduating and turning nineteen could change things for us.
“I love him.”
He’s a terrific guy, but we can’t ignore that we’ll find our fated mates soon. Jake’s birthday is a week before mine and we had agreed to stay together until we find our mates. We still have a couple of months to go.
I want to enjoy our relationship while I still can... I knocked on Ms. Marsh’s door.
Come on in Maddy.Buenos dias, Ms. Marsh.Good morning to you as well, Maddy.
I apologize for canceling the last two appointments I had with you.
No worries Miss. Shaw, this will be quick. Brisbane College is requesting that you write a “thesis.” It’s due by the end of the month. If all goes well, you should be getting that early acceptance you’ve been hoping for.
Great, thank you so much, Ms. Marsh. I really appreciate it. I’m walking down the hall when the first warning bell rings...
I rush to my class, just as I walk into the classroom, someone trips me! I almost fall flat on my face, but Jake catches me. He lifts me up and steadies me on my feet.. I turn around to see who dared to pull something like that on me. Of course, it’s none other than Liza Vanderose.
Without hesitation, I punch the skank in her face. Bet you didn’t think I’d wipe that stupid smirk right off your ugly mug, did you bitch?
Before The fight could escalate even further, I feel Jake’s arms wrap around me. He’s laughing. Ok baby, calm down, my little tiger. Liza is going to be feeling that punch all damn day.
I look up and smile at my boyfriend...
Morning, handsome...
Good morning gorgeous.
This is my first book, hope you enjoy it!
CHAPTER 2.*Maddy’s Pov* Jake and I met when my father had moved us back to Alpha Blake’s pack. We were five years old back then. Jake is our Alpha’s first-born son and next in line to be the pack’s next Alpha. Until that day comes, he’s referred to as young Alpha Jake. Alpha Blake has made it clear that Jake is going to be Alpha. With or without a Luna, his fated mate or a chosen mate. At the rate we’ve been going these past few years, most of the pack thinks I’ll be their future Luna. But I cannot help but want my fated mate. The Moon Goddess has chosen him for me.I made a huge mistake. Having a long-term relationship with Jake. It’s wrong. We should not have given each other our virginity. There’s no one to blame but myself. I was too young to make such an enormous commitment. Especially to the Alpha’s son. I take full responsibility for my actions. I can only imagine what my reckless actions have cost me. Lately, fear has been sneaking up on me. I keep waking up in the middle
CHAPTER 3. *Jakes Pov* I’m livid that this clown thinks he can come into my school, let alone my pack, and speak to anyone this way! Apologize to Maddy! I will not repeat myself Larsen! Forgive me Sir it will not happen again.. Wrong answer. The moment the teacher yelled at Maddy, I mind linked my dad’s beta. I could smell young beta Allred’s father coming down the hall. The door bursts open and in a flash, beta Cris is growling in Larsen’s face. You dare disrespect the future alpha’s girlfriend! Larsen’s eyes grow wide. No, Beta Cris, I wasn’t aware of who they are! Please don’t punish me! It’s your call, young Alpha? Take him to the pack house to my father. Beta Cris, please find out what pack he is from and have his Alpha meet us at the pack house. Allred, please mind link the Vice principal. See that she finds another faculty member to finish teaching this class. I step back over to my desk where I left Maddy sitting.. hey baby, you ok? With her lovely smile she answers y
CHAPTER 4. *Emmett’s Pov* Dad sent me a mind link while I was in class. I got up and walked out. I’m the eldest and next Alpha in line of the Dark sky’s pack. Dad likes to include me in pack matter’s and today is one of those days. I knock on the door to dad’s office. Come in, Ryan. Dad, we’ve had this discussion. I prefer going by Emmett. Well, son, I prefer to call you by your first name. you know, the one that is printed nicely on your birth certificate next to my signature. Now sit down Ryan Amory Emmett. Ya, whatever Pops. What is going on? Why did you call me here? Son, we need to head out to the Grey Wolves’ pack. One of our omega teacher’s had been substituting for one of their teacher’s and he yelled at a higher-ranking student, “Twice.” From my understanding, a minor altercation took place. You’re saying I gotta miss class for this omega bullshit? Damn right, you do boy, this will soon be your duty alone once you take over the pack! Fine, but it’s a fucking inconve
CHAPTER 5. *Maddy’s Pov* “Disrespect, my boyfriend or I again, Ryan Amory Emmett and I’ll break more than a couple of ribs!” As a future alpha from a neighboring pack, bear yourself with more class and self respect! Instead of making a joke of yourself and your father as well. “You should hold pride in who you claim to represent.” Open disrespect has no honor “Young Emmett.” I look up and I see satisfaction in Alpha Blake’s and Jake’s eyes, and embarrassment in Alpha Alonzo’s. Emmett hasn’t even moved an inch. He’s just staring at me.. “Creep.” My love, can we please take care of the matter already? The one that took place in homeroom today that involved Mr. Larsen here? “Yes, beautiful.” Dad, have you and Alonzo decided on a solution for the substitute’s actions? Yes Jake, we agreed on suspending his teaching license temporarily until he learns his place as a teaching omega. He’s also not welcome back in this pack for the rest of the year. Great! Let’s wrap this up. We’ve wa
CHAPTER 6. *Emmett’s Pov* After leaving dad’s office, I went to look for Lana. Maybe when I see her, I can forget that girl from the neighboring pack. I can’t explain it, but I’m drawn to her, and seeing her content in another Alpha’s arms bothers me. The way Jake was holding her spoke volumes. It’s like he knows no matter what happens, fated mate or not.. “she is his.” I found Lana out on the field with the rest of the cheerleading team. She runs up to me and I catch her in my arms. “Hey baby.” Emmett! I’ve missed you all day. Where have you been? Hearing her call me by my last name reminded me of how Jake’s girl knew my first name and called me by it. “I liked it.” Goddess, she’s stunning. “Emmett.” Where’s your head at? Don’t you hear me talking to you? Sorry babe, I was lost in my thoughts. What’s on your mind, that you tuned out my voice? Just the pack matters I had to assist my pops with. Oh, “I’m sorry Emmett.” I grab her face and look into her blue eyes, expecting to
CHAPTER 7. Jake’s Pov. Standing outside the school waiting for Maddy. “Its getting chilly out.” There’s this feeling that there is more to Alpha Emmett and Maddy. The urge to stake my claim is strong. I’ve got to get her to agree to be my chosen mate when she turns nineteen." I have no interest in finding my fated mate. My whole life I wanted Maddy. “She’s perfect, and she’ll be an incredible mother to our pups.” Maddy’s arms hug me from behind. Turning around, I ask.. Are you ready for our walk? Maddy smirks and grabs my hand, leading the way to the pack house’s garden. Now that we’re done feeding the Koi fish, let’s have that talk, babe. Come have a seat with me.. “Please.” Looking at me with wonder in her eyes, she sits on my lap. What is it, Jake? Maddy, we need to talk.. About our future. Okay, shoot, what’s on your mind, handsome? Look Maddy, I’ve been thinking about this a lot and my whole heart is with you. I’ve never in my life wanted someone more than I want you,
CHAPTER 8. *Maddy’s Pov* Again, I’m here, sitting on Jake’s lap. “He’s lost his mind.” Jake thinks we should choose each other instead of our own fated mates! Jake, you need to promise me… promise me you’ll give your mate a real chance. You can’t just see her and turn around and walk away without knowing her heart.. “I promise,” Maddy, I’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy! Ok calm down, no need to yell Jake. I’m still sitting on you." Let me love you Maddy, the way that I do best." Jake gives me soft kisses on my neck and then he grabs my ass and lifts me." I wrap my legs around his waist while he stands and walks us into the autumn forest trees. The surrounding view is breathtaking, with the green leaves that have turned color. Shades of yellow, orange, and the reds as well." Jake pushes me against a Dawn Redwood tree. “Though they are more common in the bay area, the pack territory has been surrounded by them ever since Alpha Blake had them planted years ago.. Jak
CHAPTER 9. *Emmett’s Pov* I slowed down and tiptoed through the bushes. Then I see them, “Jake and her.” I drop to my knees, making sure I’m out of sight! My eyes never leaving them.. “Never leaving her.” Jake has her up against a tree! Before I know it, they are making love right before my eyes. I resist the impulse to growl! My chest is constraining and “I’m filled with enough rage to start a war.” Fuck, why am I feeling this? She isn’t my mate.. Right?" I’m taken by surprise when I see her take control out of what looks to be annoyance. I don’t blame her… He was fucking her like an old man.. Slow." We are werewolves, made to be a beast in bed.. Maybe he just likes to take his time? I wanted to rip his head off." Trying to calm myself, I lit a smoke.. As heated as I am at what I’m seeing, I’m stunned by her performance. She’d be perfect for me.. “I want her.” “She requires a long hot bath before I taste her, though.” There’s no way I’m having her while she still reeks
