FreyaI should have driven home, called my mom, and started packing. Instead, I parked my car where no one could find it and walked along the forest to Jurius's home. It was a bad idea what I was doing, but how could I leave without saying goodbye?I spotted a male wolf shifter as I got onto the land, an elder of the pack. He stopped what he was doing to look at me. Nervously, I walked to find Jurius."What are you doing here?" I flinched and became motionless at the loud shout.I knew who it was; it was the alpha, Jurius's father.Like a plant held firmly in the ground, I stood straight as I felt his unwelcome presence go around me, and he towered above me as he stood before me."What-are-you-doing-here-human?" he again asked, sharply repeating his question."I need to see Jurius," I said, terrified of him."He's not here," he growled as one of his hands reached out to grab me."Don't hurt her!" I heard Jurius.The alpha hand was kept away from me, and I watched Jurius as he ran from
Freya"It has been the rule for many years that a human and a wolf shifter can never be together. But today we've been amazed by something we thought never existed again. Visit the werewolf council elders tomorrow evening. Probably they will have no choice but to spare your human mate since your title as the alpha of all alpha is far greater than there's," said the one in silver.And as he walked away, he respectfully gave a nod to both Jurius and his dad.Jurius quickly brought me inside and placed me in the living room. He was soon returning with an ice pack. I watched him as he sat before me and placed the small ice pack on my forehead. Concerned, his eyes never left my forehead.I just kept staring into his face, not knowing whether I should be happy for him that his status as a wolf shifter from being a future alpha of his pack changed immensely to become an alpha of all alphas or whether I should be scared of him. He was more powerful, and the mightiness of his growl terrified m
JuriusWe held hands as I followed her home."This is my stop here?" I halted, causing her to stop as well."Please stay a little longer with me." She gently squeezed my hand, not wanting me to leave."I can't."I wanted to, but my head kept ringing with my dad calling me telepathically, wanting me to come home."When will I see you again?" Her hand let go of mine, and it folded.I drew closer to her."Tomorrow, when I return from the wolf shifter councilors,"Her eyes closed as I leaned in to kiss her forehead, and they opened as I stood straight."Promise?" she said."With all of my heart."She smiled for a while until it disappeared with worries."I hope they'll allow us to be together.""Me too." My arms were wrapped around her.Dad was standing on the porch, anxiously waiting for me to return."Finally, you're here," he said telepathically as he spotted me.He left the porch and met me in the middle of our land."Why were you taking so long?" He shoved me across the land, sending
FreyaThe day I was upset with Dolly, and angrily stormed off from school. I didn't go to school the next day. I lied to my grandmother that I felt too sick to attend school. I was too worried to go, knowing that Jurius would see the werewolf councils. I feared that they would never accept Jurius and me being together. I'm glad they did.Jurius wasn't at school yet, so I looked for Dolly. I needed to apologize to her for how I treated her.Two of her close friends, Becky and Tamara, were chatting by their lockers."Hi. Do you know where I can find Dolly?""She's not here yet." Tamara answered."Thanks." I walked off."Freya." Becky stopped me.I turned to look at her."What is going on between you and Dolly? She's been down since the day you drove off upset." Becky was curious."I can't say. But everything will be fine between us pretty soon," I reassured them.They nodded, and I went to wait in the parking area for Dolly.I was leaning against a wall when her pink Porsche was driven
Freya If I had a choice to become an animal, it would likely be a wolf. Not just any wolf, but a lovely she-wolf with snow-white fur and sky-blue eyes. I'm sure I'd be OK. As much as my love life. If I'm fortunate enough to have one. It would not be as tragic and agonizing as my mother's. Tears streamed down my cheeks from my eyes. It tickled my skin and drove me to respond by wiping it away from my face, but more tears streamed down as I did so. It was something that happened all the time before going to bed. It was similar to a bedtime routine. I'd stand by my bedroom window, staring out at the moon in the dark sky, and it would end with me begging the moon to turn me into a wolf, as if the moon had ears to hear before going to sleep. I used to laugh at myself for being crazy and having a big imagination from reading too many romance wolf-shifter novels. I believed it to be true. Before heading downstairs, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom mirror. I would check to see if m
Freya It was futile for me to beg my mother to let me stay. She'd already decided to depart with Jack first thing tomorrow morning. I packed my stuff while in tears. "Are you done yet?" my mother inquired, leaning against my door. I threw my last pair of clothes into the suitcase and zipped it closed, not reacting to her. "I called Mom and Zira, and they are overjoyed to have you," she let me know. The suitcase crashed hard on the floor near my bed, and I dragged it past her outside to the car. She followed me. "Fine, I'll put up with your immature behavior. "I've been dealing with it for years," she complained as she closed the front seat of the automobile and buckled her seat belt. When I saw Jack approaching the automobile, I rolled my eyes. "Are you certain you don't want me to accompany you? It'll be lonely coming home alone," Jack said, lowering his head to hers. "I'll be fine, babe," my mother assured him as she kissed him. I felt like I wanted to hurl. I was so glad
Freya The moon is remarkable considering that it is constantly visible in the sky, no matter where you are. It's almost like it's keeping an eye on us. Why are the things that are out of your reach the ones that are closest to you? Like the sun, moon, and stars, but the ones closest to us appear to be the furthest away. I cried by the window the first night in my new house, just like I did at home. Looking up at the half-shiny moon in the sky. I didn't hide my puffy, red eyes from wailing all night in the morning when I went downstairs. There was no need to because what had happened to me was too sudden. As I walked into the kitchen, I was greeted by the overwhelming aroma of pancakes and chocolate syrup. Zira touched a strand of my long, black hair as Grandma brushed my cheek, sensing my gloom. Grandma brought my pancake and a steaming cup of peppermint tea to the dining room. I trailed her. "There you go, Hun," she said as she set it in front of me as I sat. "You'll be merry
Jurius "Jurius," I heard my father call. Immediately, I inserted my pen into my book and hid it under a rock before he caught me writing again. As the future alpha of the pack, my father wants me to concentrate on becoming stronger and a good leader. It is difficult to bear a big responsibility when you are only 18. "Son," he again called. "I'm here, dad." My voice directed him to me. I noticed he was not alone; my twin brother Tate was with him. Tate and I weren't identical twins. He too had a role to play; he was the future Beta of the pack. The second leader in case something should happen to me. Sometimes I wish he were the firstborn and I the second. Dad wasn't on his back like he was with me. Tate was free to do whatever he pleased and to even date humans. I could never do such a thing. My father feared his alpha son associating with a human. He thought they were weak. An alpha should never involve himself with the feeble. "Why are you from the pack? You should be guarding
