Dalton
“You signed me up for what?” I asked incredulously as I looked at my group of friends. They were all looking at me with wide eyes, and I couldn’t help but sigh out.
Emery fiddled with her fingers and avoided my gaze. “We kind of signed you up for a speed dating event.”
I threw my head back and pinched the bridge of my nose. “Out of all things that you could have signed me up for, you signed me up for speed dating? You could have signed me up for a hotdog-eating event, horseback racing, corn tending, you could have even signed me up for a Japanese karaoke reality show, and I wouldn’t hesitate to agree. But this! This is too much!” I said and shook my head.
Karina went over to me and shook my shoulders. “Oh, come on, Dalton! All of the events that you’ve suggested are even weirder than the speed dating event! We saw the ad on a very reliable site, so you don’t have to worry about its l
Third Person’s POV On a warm evening in April, the Ford family members are all gathered at one table. Emery prepared their favorite foods, and it seemed like things were going well. They looked like a perfect family, and they are! However, Emery and Laura started talking hushedly and giggling as the dessert was served. Kairo leaned closer to her lovely ladies in an attempt to hear their conversation. Laura turned to her swiftly and scooted closer to her mom. “What are you doing, dad? Can’t you see that mom and I are talking?” Kairo pouted and bitterly ate his black forest cake. “You’ve changed. You used to tell everything to daddy. But I guess you’re too cool for that now.” Laura is now in middle school, and Kairo has been feeling melancholic these past few days. He feels like time is moving too fast, and his once cute children can now live without depending on him. Laura sighed and pushed her seat back in its original placement. “I always tel
Emery I’ve always wanted to escape—to run away from this hellhole that deprived me of all the things that made me happy. There’s really not much in this world that I want. I just long for a simple life, with a loving mate, and a harmonious family. I sometimes dream of somebody holding me while I sleep, whispering sweet-nothings into my ear, and treating me like I actually matter in this world. “What the fuck are you daydreaming for, bitch? Didn’t I tell you to wash our gowns faster?” Caitlyn, the Beta’s daughter, angrily said while pulling my hair, startling me out of my daydream. I looked down at the pink sparkly gown that I was currently washing. I wanted to rip it apart so that Caitlyn wouldn’t have anything to wear to the incoming Alpha’s bir
Emery I hang the sparkly gowns on the rack to let them dry. Sweat dripped from my brow, so I wiped it with the hem on my shirt. I smiled as I finished all of my tasks—all of the conditions I had to fulfill in order for me to attend the party. The incoming Alpha’s birthday celebration was tomorrow. Excitement flooded in my veins for this will be the first time that I would be going out of the house. I never really knew the exact reason why they stopped me from going outside. I never really had that many chances to go out, but it significantly lessened on my 12th birthday. I got up early, knowing that it was my 12th birthday. Although I never really had a party, or visitors, or even birthday cake, it was still a special event when the Beta’s family would rarely give me a gift. Last year, th
Kairo I groaned as I sat down and watched my mother fussing around our living room, busy preparing for tomorrow's celebration. “Okay, grand piano over there. The Juliet Roses should be a little off-centered, yes. And no, no! Do not put on sage green curtains, I specifically said to bring out the cadmium green ones.” My mother hurriedly spoke while moving around our living room like a busy bee. “Mom, I told you that I didn’t want to have a grand party for my 18th birthday. And why did you have to call out all of the Northern packs when you know I never trust strangers?” “Oh, loosen up Kai. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. It’s not everyday that my little baby is coming of age and finally becoming the next Alpha. And I called all of the Northern packs so there’s a higher chance that you can find
Emery Today was the day. I was awoken by the sound of the birds chirping, their tweets sounding a little sweeter today. I opened the curtains and the sun filled my small room. The weather is perfect for the upcoming event. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and put my hair in a high ponytail before hurrying down the stairs. I walked to the kitchen and readied the ingredients for breakfast—eggs, bacon, bread, and tomatoes. I whipped up a quick breakfast sandwich for the Beta’s family and pocketed the hard edges of the bread to eat in the bedroom for myself. I hummed as I walked up the stairs, but quickly hid when I saw Caitlyn exiting out of her room. I really don’t want to get on her bad side on this fine day. She gets upset about the littlest matters, especially during the mornings. When the coas
Emery“Quite an entrance you had there. It’s like everyone shut their mouths all of a sudden.” I heard a male voice beside me. I turned my head towards the person and observed his appearance. He was good-looking and very.. I mean, very tall. I only reached up to his shoulders.“Umm.. Hi. I thought my entrance was normal.”“Oh, it sure was.” He said sarcastically. “How come I’ve never seen you before? The name’s Dalton, by the way.”“Emery… I’m not from here.” I lied through my teeth. “I just wanted a change of scenery and I saw the announcement of the incoming Alpha’s birthday celebration on TV, so I decided to come.”
KairoI heard the bustling crowd, the clinking of glasses, and the classical music from my bedroom. My headache became even worse. I did not want to interact with people who don’t give two shits about the pack.“There’s the man of the night!” I heard my door open. I glared at the culprit. “Come on man. This is your party. Come and show those people who owns this night.” Dalton said, shaking his shoulders while entering from my door.I sighed. “Why are you here, Dalton?”“Your mom’s been pestering me all night, man. I couldn't even enjoy the snack bar! Dalton, where's Kairo? Dalton find Kairo! Dalton it’s getting late, fetch Kairo.

Third Person’s POV In the barely-lit room, the two bathed in each other’s pheromones— the scent of strawberries and wine mingled in the air. No words came out from the both of them, only pants and moans were heard in the room. Emery gazed at Kairo’s eyes. They appeared like the clearest body of water to be found on the planet. She can see her reflection in Kairo’s clear blue eyes. Kairo isn’t normally starstruck by the beauty of women, but the woman in front of him took his breath away. Even looking at her was enough to satiate the hunger that he was feeling in his veins. However, Kairo was not satisfied with t
