MavenBennett and I walk to the Elder’s meeting hall. I commanded them through the mind link to be here and I hope no one ignored me. If any of them did, then their consequence will be worse than the others.I’m pleased to see a full room when we walk in. None of the men look pleased with me and one says, “Alpha Maven, this demand for a meeting better be good.”I will keep a level head while speaking to them. Everything I say will be clear and concise. I respond, “It doesn’t matter if it’s good for you or not. I saw that a meeting was needed, and you came, as is your job.”Another man scoffs, “You act as if you’re the one in charge here, Alpha, when everyone here knows that we ultimately hold the power.”I hear Bennett chortle behind me and I force myself not to laugh at his reaction as he tries to pretend like he had something stuck in his throat.I place my hands on the table as I say, “I am the Alpha of the Renegade Pack. You cannot replace me whenever you feel like, you have no su
MavenI rush to the pack hospital to meet with Dr. Hudson. Even though he said she’s okay, it makes me uneasy at what could’ve happened.Could she somehow be pregnant? The incident with Kaden wasn’t that long ago.Just the thought of it makes me angry that he could’ve forced a child upon her.A nurse brings me straight to a room and I pace as I wait for the doctor to come in. He smiles as he walks in, “Thank you so much for coming so quickly, Alpha.”I nod my head and say, “What’s going on with Amelia?”“Well, your witch friend was right. Amelia has a strong wolf; it has been suppressed because of her being poisoned for so long. Her blood matches with someone and I believe it is her sister.”My eyebrows knit together, “Amelia was an only child.”“I’m aware that’s what she believes, Alpha. But I don’t think that information is accurate.”“Go on.” I breathe out as I cross my arms and look at Dr. Hudson. He smiles, “I believe she has a sister named Penelope Fox and… well, I don’t know al
Amelia I don’t know how long I stay in the shower for. When I finally come out my skin is red from the heat. I wrap the towel tightly around my body and I wipe down the mirror so that I can see my reflection. Immediately, my eyes go to the mark on my neck. My eyebrows furrow as it’s more intricate than I would’ve imagined. It looks like the heads of two wolves that are nuzzling and then below the neck it twists together in a spiral. “Huh,” I murmur to myself, and I wonder how Maven’s looks. I brush through my hair and decide on putting it in a side braid that would cover the mark. The mark is going to cause a lot of unwanted attention and I think it’s best for it to remain covered. I walk into his room and find my clothes from yesterday since all my other clothes are in the apartment area and I can’t get there without Maven. I go downstairs and smile at Maggie and Sophie was they move around the kitchen like a well-oiled machine. I jump in with them, grabbing the broom so I can st
AmeliaMaven stares at me and then walks around his desk and crouches in front of me so he can look into my eyes. He grabs my hand and asks, “Are you okay?”I clear my throat and ask, “How? I was an only child.”He breathes out as he says, “Apparently not.”“Who is this girl?”“Her name is Penelope Fox. She was part of the Supernatural Academy and recently got with the Moon Stone Pack.”“What’s the Supernatural Academy?”“The students that attend there were somehow sold there, or their parents owed them a debt and had to pay with the child. It’s a twisted organization. They raise them for a specific purpose and then sell them when they are 17 or 18.”“How old is she? Why was she sold? Is her life bad?” I suddenly feel a need to protect this girl as it sounds like her life was worse than my own.“She’s 18, just like you. It looks like you guys are twins. I don’t know why she was sold yet and I don’t know about her life… other than they believe she is the white wolf.”My eyebrows furrow
Amelia By the time my wolf is tired out and brings us back home, it is late. The sun is setting, and the moon is rising. I feel guilt rise inside of me because I’m sure that I have caused Maven to worry. I shift into my human form and grab a large t-shirt that was hidden behind a tree. When I walk inside I can smell the scent of spaghetti cooking and Maggie looks at me and asks, “Are you okay, dear?”I nod my head slowly and look around, surprised that Maven hasn’t shown up yet. She comments, “He’s giving you space to process, Amelia, if you want to see him then you’ll need to find him yourself.”She watches me, seeing how I’m going to respond, and I ask, “Do you think I can do this?”“What do you mean?” She asks as she sets a bowl down on the island for me to take a seat. I sit at the barstool and say, “Do you think I can be Luna? The only examples I’ve ever seen for Luna have been… horrid. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m scared to let Maven down. I wasn’t trained for this. I’m not
AmeliaThe amount of preparations that it takes to get a Luna ceremony ready is ridiculous. I know Maven is trying not to pressure me, but he really wants us to do the ceremony by the end of next week.Maven has started taking daily walks with me throughout the pack so that people can start making assumptions that I’m the new Luna. Maven wears his mark proudly and I… I try to. The mark is different than anything I’ve ever seen before, and it makes me feel weird.I’m proud to be Maven’s mate. Don’t get me wrong. I just… something about our mark is different and I want to know what it could be.Maven hasn’t had any luck getting in contact with the Moon Stone Pack. He’s tried to call them a handful of times, but it’s always the Beta who answers and he always says that the Alpha is unavailable. I get it, but it’s still hard to deal with. I have a sister there who might be in danger, and I want to go and meet her, but Maven says we have to wait. We don’t want to ruin the relationship we ha
AmeliaMaggie, Grace, and I are going to pick out my Luna ceremony dress today. Sophie couldn’t come because she was too busy packing for her trip to her cousin’s pack.I have so many options for my dress, I don’t even have to worry about what Maven will wear. Maven has a bunch of suits, so he’ll be able to match me no matter what I get.All I know, is I need to fit the look of a Luna.Going to a bridal dress store is overwhelming. The attendant asks all about my style and I have to pretend like I’m getting ready for a wedding. Grace keeps mind linking me telling me that a Luna ceremony is just as important as a wedding is.I know she’s right; I just feel uncomfortable here. I have never owned a dress so fancy and seeing some of the price tags here is enough to make me want to faint!Maggie started shooing me away from the dresses while she and Grace picked them out. It was for the best, the more I looked at them and saw the price tags, the more overwhelmed I felt.It took hours, much
MavenI’m eager for Amelia to come back home. I know she’s feeling apprehensive about this, but I have faith in her that she will be the Luna this pack needs.The hours pass and I wonder how long it takes for them to find a dress. My door bursts open and Maggie pants in front of me. She never comes into my office unannounced. She says through her labored breathing, “Alpha, it’s Veronica.”My eyes widen, and I rush past her and follow the sound of the growls. I quickly go down the staircase, jumping down the last few steps and run outside. There’s a crowd and I push past my pack members as Veronica lets out a warrior cry and rushes towards Amelia. I’m stunned as Amelia dodges her effortlessly and Veronica’s own momentum causes her to fall. Amelia turns back toward her and if she’s scared, she doesn’t show it. She looks calm and determined.The sound of bones cracking and rearranging tears my attention away from Amelia. Veronica has shifted and she’s about to attack my mate.I’ll be dam
