Alpha Kane grabbed Hayley by the upper arm, while staring down at her.
"My office, now!" He roared, but Hayley gave a smirk.
"I'm not a wolf, so that won't work on me."
Alpha Kane gave a growl before picking Hayley up to throw her over his shoulders.
Davina looked stunned, for she thought Kane would punish Hayley, not having her on his back while she had a smile on her face.
"I'll handle her accordingly. Run home now,’’ Alpha Kane told the girls.
Hayley kicked, punching at Alpha Kane's back, "put me down you freak."
"Stop, they are gone." Kane said before slapping Hayley on the ass, causing her to laugh.
"You can put me down now."
"Why are you always in the middle of a fight?"
"Why must every fight have me in the centre? Have you ever thought it was not me, but them?
Hayley relaxed on the Alpha’s shoulder, "you know how your stupid pack is. They mock me for not having a wolf. I am the outcast, the little bitch."
Kane scoffed, "you do have a wolf. You are just a late bloomer."
It was Hayley's time to scoff, "if every time I hear that bullshit, and it could get me one step closer to shifting. I'd be a wolf by now.
"Maybe when you are finally 18."
"Or never. When will you see that I am human? I need to find my family because I am not cut out for this life.
"So, you want to leave me?"
Hayley was silent for a while.
“We both know that this has to stop soon, I mean. Every day, you get closer to finding your mate."
Kane didn't respond. He only walked on until he arrived at the pack house, still he didn't put Hayley down until they got to his office, where he let her sit on his desk.
"Listen, Hayley-"
"No Kane, you listen. You can't keep me here just to occupy your time. My family might be out there looking for me and I will never know them if you refuse to let me leave."
Kane caressed Hayley's cheek with a thumb. "I care for you more than you ever know. Why do you think I always come to your rescue just when you need it most, or why I treat you differently from the rest?"
Hayley looked away from Kane's impassive golden eyes. As much as she liked him, she still couldn't bring herself to fall for him too much. But then again, how could she not? Kane made it impossible for her to ignore him. Everything made him irresistible, from his strong jawline that could cut concrete to his straight nos that would flair whenever he was upset. Down to his undeniable good looks that put Henry Cavill to shame.
Kane's thick pink lips met Hayley’s, kissing her softly. He let out a growl, forcing his way between her legs, but she pushed him away.
"You need to slow down."
"You know how much I need you."
"You don't need me Kane, you only want me until your mate comes."
"No, I wish I could take you right now and leave my mark on you."
"We both know that is impossible in so many ways. I have to be 18 to bear the mark of my mate, and only my mate. Which can only be attained after sex, and only my true mate can break that seal, so until then. Just kissing."
Kane scoffed, then crashed his lips back onto hers, placing his hands under her back, lifting her off the desk and took a sit so that she was sitting on top of him.
"Until then, let’s please just enjoy the moments."
"As you wish, Alpha." Hayley said in an almost mocking tone, kissing him again.
Kane growled and pull back, "I want to ask you something."
"What?" Hayley asked.
"Not yet. I have to wait until the time is right." Kane told her.
"You can be so frustrating at times, you know that?"
“Says the pain in my ass." Kane chuckled.
Hayley knotted her in his shoulder length, sand-blonde hair and pulled his head back.
"If you would just grant me my wish and allow me to leave, I would be that pain anymore."
"I can't allow that Hayley, you don't know the first thing about being human and the world that you want to enter."
"Hello, I am human." Hayley waved at herself.
"What continent are we on?"
Hayley opened her mouth, then closed it.
"I never learnt that. They don't teach us those things in school. Just crap about Timber wolves, and other non-human stuff."
"Learning about Timber wolves, also called the red wolves isn't crap."
"See that? The teachers can't even teach. I didn't know that they were called red wolves, too. Tell me more.''
"I thought it was crap."
Hayley turned her head away from his words and pouted.
Kane hooked his finger under her chin, forcing her to look at him, where he kissed her deeply.
When he pulled away, he said. "Timber wolves are the most powerful wolves this world has ever seen. They possess powers far greater than any other wolf and just one member can talk down an entire pack."
"Oh, wow." Hayley said after Kane paused.
"They were blessed by the moon goddess and cursed by Zeus, or so I have heard."
Just then, there was a knock at the office door. Hayley hurried to get off Kane’s lap. While he moved his hand in a circular motion to mask her scent and hide her presence.
"Alpha, there is a passing pack. They are seeking shelter until the morning."
Kane nodded at the female that was talking to him. “Give me a minute."
Kane crossed his office back to Hayley.
"And not to mention that we have to be hiding this from everyone.'' Hayley didn't meet his eyes.
"You understand why."
Kane pulled two books off the shelf, handing them to Hayley.
"These two books have some information on the Timber wolves, it's not much, but it's still an interesting read."
"Yeah, whatever." Hayley said.
"Get comfortable. I'll be back shortly." He kissed her, then left the office.
Hayley woke with a stare, to a loud banging noise. Disoriented, she sat up in the bed and stumbled off the mattress. Another bang shuddered the walls of the house she was in. Then a loud roar caused her to move faster, dragging her pants on. There was a commotion. Seconds later, Alpha Kane came in his room, his eyes blazing and almost blue, signalling that his wolf was close to the surface. "You need to leave." "What's happening?" "My brother is going through the shift. He couldn't handle it. I'm afraid that if you stay here, you might get hurt." Hayley nodded. She didn't have to be told twice; she saw how her adopted sister was when she went through the change and wanted no part of this one. "I have school in the morning, anyway." Hayley said. Even though she was trying to hide it, Kane could still see the fear in her eyes and heard it in her voice as well. "Come, I'll see to it that you get out safe." Kane followed her outside, to where the night sky was dark, and thundering
Leaving the pack was the only thing that stood out to Hayley. She didn't want to stay where people defined who she was. Sure, she had a few friends and all, but she didn't feel like she belong. Especially when those around her weren't afraid to point out her flaws and make fun of her. (The wolf not wolf, they would mock.) Hayley hated that everyone around her could shape shift. Everyone was in tune with their wolf, and knew the pain of the first shift, or the effects of the full moon on them. They only had to worry about their mates. (Should I reject him or not, would she reject me?) And to make her matters worse, there was the fact of not having her actual parents around to help her through such a rough patch in her life. She didn't know which was worse, being wolfless or not having parents. She got bullied about both. (Go find your parents,) they would say. (Homeless girl,) they would call her. Like she didn't have feelings too. Hayley hated how most of them treated her. Th
Hayley sighed as she walked along the path to the forest, with her hands behind her head, watching the birds as they fly above. Wishing that she could be free like them, especially the yellow and blue one. She could tell he was a character among its flock, and had a personality from the way he flew, looping around the others. He even sung loudly, just like her. But no, instead she was trapped under a dome. (It wasn't a dome, but it sure felt like it.) Somehow, the weather was being controlled. It was winter all around them, but for whatever reason, it was always summer, spring, or raining inside her prison. But little did they know Hayley found a way to leave, a weak link in the so called almighty barrier. It was all because two different territories crossed, it sort of weaken the spells. Normally at any other point in the town, it would be hard to cross over, unless the Alpha was there, or a court guard to let you through. Hayley didn't quite understand how it worked. She didn't
Hayley wanted answers, but for now that had to wait, because her stomach was rumbling, and her frozen fingers were protesting. Hayley took one last look at the spot that had showed the weird vision, and one last look at her freedom, then went home. She cursed herself for being so dumb and unprepared. But next time she won't. A new life was in her grasp. She was thinking about something else now. What was that vision she just saw? And what was with that pendent? Hayley stopped just outside of the house she grew up in, looking up at it. Despite the feeling she had of wanting to run away, she was still grateful to the Blackwater’s. The Alpha didn't know what to do with her when he found her. Even though everyone warned them not to, they thought it would be good to have a sister for their daughter to play with, so they never listened and raised Hayley as their own. Their affection and love towards Hayley never changed. It was like she was truly their child and was always present in
Hayley stared up at the ugly brown stone building they called a school, but she called it the worst 6 years of her life. It was the place they bullied her the most, the place she felt more alone. A slow smile creeped onto her face. It was almost summer, which means she was almost at the end of the school year and won't have to set foot back in it ever again. "Watch it loser." Someone said, bumping into her, as if they couldn’t just walk around. "Wolfless." Someone else came up to her saying. "Flea bag!" She shot back. "That's it, I'm gone." Hayley decided, making a beeline with the duffle bag she had. She once again found herself in the forest, ready to make her great escape. But all she saw was a heated make-out session between her adopted sister, Carrie, and a different guy from last night. Hayley was about to turn around, but her need to leave was much greater. So she tried to walk as quietly as possible. As she got closer to them, she stepped on a branch, then froze. She di
"As sweet as I thought, not like any other wolves' blood I have tasted." He grabbed Hayley by the throat, pulling her closer to him as his mouth opened wide. He sniffed at her neck. “Don't worry. It will be over before you know." But before he could bite her, there was a roar with a large furry body crashing into them. After the hold broke, Hayley was on the ground. If it wasn’t for Carrie who pulled her to her feet, she would have been crushed under the hissing and roaring battle between the vampire and the bear. "Run you two." The bear said. The vampire used his moment of distraction to run full force into the bear, hitting him to the ground. The vampire then ran towards Hayley and Carrie, but by that time, they have already crossed back to their territory. "He's not chasing us." Hayley said. “That’s because he can’t cross the border." Carrie said. "Go you two!" The bear yelled, before rearing up on its hind legs then sunk his teeth into the vampire, who gave a cry. Black
Hayley dragged herself to school the next morning, and through the halls, where her other school mates were milling around, waiting for the gym to open. "Sorry." Hayley said. After bumping into someone, when she didn't hear a response, she glanced over her shoulder to see that no one was there. "Must have been the wall." She mumbled to herself, then continued on. Making sure to stay at the back so that no one picked on her. Even though it was Saturday, all the teenagers that were between the ages of 16 and 18 had to gather in the gym for an endurance training. This was so that the teen wolves in the pack, that included Hayley, could show case any skills and abilities they might have. 'Why do I always have to do this?' Hayley asked herself. Blowing strands of hair out of her face, the only thing she could do was run her mouth and somehow finish the obstacle courses they set up. Other than that, she couldn't go wolf, and she had no powers. "The changing room is open." Someone said
After a long afternoon in the boiling hot gym, they were finally done with their training, and Hayley followed behind the crowd to take a shower. "Seems like you took a beating." Josie said, falling into steps beside Hayley. "I am sore in places I never thought possible." Josie gave a laugh. "I feel just great." "Yeah, you're a wolf. I'm not. So, can you maybe help me? I took a pretty nasty fall back there." Hayley said, pointing at her side. "Sure.'' Josie removed her glasses. After seeing all the places Hayley was hurt, she laid her hand on the areas and healed her. Also, secretly trying to heal her broken core, but it didn't seem to work. Hayley felt a slight shock and jumped. "Sorry, but you are all healed now." "Thanks." When Hayley pushed the locker room door open, all eyes turned to her, in the same time Davina threw a towel in her face. "There, much better. Now we don't have to worry about turning to stone from that ugly face of yours." Hayley removed the wet towel
