DAYA POV My feet hit the forest floor over and over again- taking me away from the place I have called home for the last 12 years. I breathe in the crisp morning air as it stings my nose and lungs with each inhale I take. I dodge branches, hop over roots, and rip through freshly spun spider webs. I am not sure how long I have been running, but the sun is not up yet. There is a calmness in the forest that I try to take in to still my own nerves. I reach a clearing and look up to the morning sky as the sun begins to make its ascent. I let out a deep sigh and look back in the direction from where I ran. I wipe the sweat from my brow and tighten my ponytail. Time to head back and begin my last day here with the Eclipse Pack. Tomorrow is the first day of my journey to take back mine and my sisters’ birthright- our original territory. Everyone wonders if supernatural beings are real- we are. We live amongst humans and blend in like any other person you would see on the street.

DAYA POV After quickly patching things up with Ophelia and Andre, I made my way over to the training fields. My friend Sage was already warming up and waiting for me. We make eye contact from across the field, and she shoots her hand up in the air and starts waving me over, like I’ve never been here before. She’s always been so outgoing and bubbly- a necessary balance to my quiet and serious demeanor. “Get over here girl! Last day of training before you leave me all alone!” Sage exclaims. She always had a flare for being dramatic, but she cracks me up. She automatically puts me in a good mood and helps ease my anxiety about this move I am making tomorrow morning. “Did you go for a run this morning?!” She asks me, with her big blue eyes practically bugging out of her head. I laughed and nodded my head as I walked up to her and the rest of our crew on the field. “You know me too well, Sage. I love morning runs before the sun is up. And now I’m a litt

DARIUS POV It’s late morning on Saturday and I’m already elbow deep in paperwork. How is this my life? I fucking hate paperwork. I’ve been Alpha for 11 years and I have yet to figure out where all this paperwork comes from. It’s a cruel joke by the universe. I swear, eighty-five percent of being an Alpha is signing your name. The other fifteen percent is a combination of going to meetings to discuss the things that were written on the paperwork, and defending my pack when threats arise- I could do without that portion. It seems like there are always threats looming and I can never take a breath. I stare up from my desk and look out the window. A fresh coating of snow covers the ground. My wolf is pressing beneath the surface, eager for a run in the snow. We both enjoy the feel of fresh snowing being kicked up into clouds of white dust under our paws. It is such a magical feeling, disappearing into a cloud of white dust. I wish I could disappear some days. I never wanted, or

DAYA POV After training wrapped up, I ran some last-minute errands before coming back home. I promised Andre and Ophelia that I would have dinner with them and their chosen mates. I asked them if I could invite Sage over to join us and of course they said yes- they love Sage. I was helping Ophelia prepare dinner when she leaned over the counter, opposite me, as I was chopping vegetables. “You know, Dye, you don’t have to do this.” I could hear the concern in her voice. I kept looking down at the vegetables, though my chopping speed slowed down a notch. “Me and Andre want to support you in everything you do. But this plan… it’s… it’s…” “It’s what, Ophelia?!” I cut her off and stared her straight in the eyes. “It’s too dangerous to go alone.” She met my gaze with a similar intensity. “I get that you’re doing this to honor your father and mother’s memory. But do you really think you can defeat an alpha in a challenge? Then be able to take over his pack, and have tho

DARIUS POV Dinner is over and I have about an hour until this Diamond chick arrives. Gives me enough time to shower and look more presentable. I walk over to my personal cottage within the pack. There is a packhouse where my office is located. Most alphas and ranked wolves usually live in the packhouse, but I like my privacy. Plus, the extra rooms in the pack house are great for the younger pack members to use until they can afford their own places. While they stay in the pack house, they maintain it and share duties like cooking for the pack members who stay there, and general cleaning around the packhouse. It’s good for them and teaches them some responsibility, while giving them a sense of independence. I get inside and let out a big exhale. I’ve never been one for extravagance. My pack’s main source of income is a construction business that has been doing really well the last few years. I’d rather put that money into maintaining the pack and helping my pack members. I b

DAYA POV I snapped awake and glanced at my phone to see the time- 4:30 AM. I have been sleeping awfully all night. Tossing and turning. I called my sister Emmy when I got to my apartment and filled her in on my first-class first impression with Alpha Darius. She didn’t hold back any punches and let me know her two cents about the situation. “Dye, what the fuck were you thinking?!” Gotta love Emmy. She isn’t usually this brash in her language, but when the situation calls for it, she doesn’t hold back. And I definitely deserve to be brought down a peg right now. “Seriously, Daya. You were on this guy’s territory for like 2 minutes and you couldn’t hold your tongue for once?” “First of all, Em, he is on our territory…” I started to respond to her. But she quickly jumped back in and took the reins from me in the conversation. “No, Daya. It is not our territory anymore. We haven’t lived there in over a decade. I’d be surprised if anyone remembers the

DARIUS POV It’s been a week. One week since Diamond has assumed her role as lead trainer for our female warrior squad. To say we got off on the wrong foot is putting it lightly. I was ready to send the girl packing. I’m glad I didn’t because the women fucking love her as their trainer. I have been hearing nothing but positive feedback from our female warriors. Even Justin has mentioned that Daya is running a great squad. I haven’t spoken to her much this last week, except the morning after she arrived- after her morning training session, she asked me for a meeting. I thought she was going to tender her resignation- which would have been fine with me. Instead, she apologized again and then she told me about some friend of hers from some pack in California who is apparently some genius when it comes to strategy and pack safety and defense. At first, I wanted to tell her to fuck off and save her favors for somebody who needs them. But I bit my tongue and let myself consider
Fearing Fate Chapter 8
DAYA POV This feels so surreal. Hugging my sister for the first time in twelve years- this doesn’t feel real, but it is. Emmy is here. Yes, we have spoken regularly via video chat, so we have been able to watch each other grow up, but we never visited one another. None of us have. And, hopefully, in a few months, Emmy will help me be able to challenge Darius and take over this pack. And then we can bring our other three sisters here with us: Saph, Amy, and Pearl. All good things come with time- but when I really want something, it’s difficult for me to be patient. Luckily, patience is Emmy’s middle name. Literally, her full name is Emerald Patience Stone. Weird, but perfectly fitting for her. Me and Emmy get settled on my sofa and I start pouring us a couple glasses of Malbec. I always enjoyed a dry red wine. I don’t drink much, but this is a special occasion. “I can’t believe you’re here. This is the best day of my life. How was your meeting with Alpha Douchebag?” I said
