Chapter 2

Stacey POV

Zante enters my room and stands there with a stupid grin on his face. I smirk back at him and walk past, through the open door.

He grabs my wrist in the hallway and pulls me against him. He pushes the hair off my shoulder and runs his lips on my skin and when he moves his mouth further up my shoulder to my neck he bares his canines. He brushes them against my neck and nips at me playfully, while tangling his fingers in my hair pulling my head to the side exposing my neck more. I’m instantly wet and grip his arms tight, feeling I might just fall to pieces right there if he did much more. He wasn’t going to do it here was he? Is that why he insisted on collecting me.

He presses his hips into me and I find myself wanting to rip his clothes off, I run my hands down his chest and to his pants where I fumble trying to undo them. He smiles into my neck and retracts his teeth and kisses up to my ear and whispers;

“Soon, my good girl” his words cause a moan to escape my lips and I grab his hips to steady myself as I regain my composure.

I stand in the doorway of the conference room, the feeling of Zantes teeth still lingering on my skin and my panties still soaking from that. I shake my head and look around. He was hinting at something and I was sure I knew what it was.

The conference room was overwhelming, a huge oak table filled the centre, with enough seats to fit the whole pack in here it seems. Each place had been set as if having a lavish dinner and it made wonder how many people would be attending this meeting.

Zante’s aura hits me and I turn to face him, he beckons me to him and gestures to the chair next to him. I join him at the table and place my hand on his knee. I look around the room, trying to ignore the feeling of Zante’s eyes piercing into me. I go to face him, but my attention gets pulled away to the door flying open, Kodan and Zev, another of Zante’s mates, enter the room in fits of giggles.

“Not cool man, I was doing so well” Zev hissed at Kadon, who was now bracing himself against the table, tears streaming down his face. Both of them looked worse for wear.

Zante looks at me and rolls his eyes and places his hand on mine, squeezing it slightly. I took this an apology on his part, knowing I wasn’t too happy about them going out all the time. I knew they were around other omegas but they never smelt of them, so had no proof.

Once everyone had settled, Alpha Zante turns to me and smiles “Are we all ready?” Zante explains that he has to go on a business trip to the city. He has been invited to give a talk at a local high school to help bridge the gap between humans and werewolves.

There has been a lot of tension between the two since the massacre that happened in the city before Alpha Zante took over the pack. A group of pack-less rogues descended on the city and killed countless amounts of humans in the hope of making it a werewolf only territory.

The previous Alpha lost his life during this attack trying to defend the humans, however, most still blame now Alpha Zante’s pack for the reason behind the massacre. Luckily for Zante, he is on good terms with the mayor and actually owns most of the city and provides a construction company for improvements to the city.

“So Love, would you be willing to keep an eye on the pack business while I am away with my mates? I know its a lot to ask of you seeing as you have only been here for 2 weeks, but I know you can do it.”

I agree to look after the pack and after discussing the major things I need to keep an eye on, I go to leave but Zante grabs my wrist and pulls me back into my seat.

“We also have something else we need to discuss” at this point some of the pack members leave the room. It was only me and the men, it must be personal.

“We think it’s time you join the pack officially” Zante purrs at me. I’m instantly aroused and fidget in my chair. “We want to have a party for you once it happens and we need you to understand what needs to happen once we mark you. It’s a little different for mates that are not destined to be together.

He explains about the blood and that taking Zante will be painful to begin with, I will need to be able to take him to be completely bonded. The blood helps me get accustomed to him. I find out I will not mate with them until I have marked them, due to the risk mating with Zante. Zante also explains that even though he may not be able to mate with me, Kodan and Zev can as long as they use protection.

I feel their eyes burning into me and I look up and meet Kodans gaze, his canines peeking over his lips and as I look to Zev I see him doing the same, their eyes dark roaming over me. Zante squeezes my hand and look at him instantly feeling relaxed. I’m still not completely used to having 3 potential mates and I feel like I’m cheating on Zante every time they make an advance on me. I need to get over this and use this to my advantage to have everything I wanted.

“Excellent, I will send news to the rest of the pack and we will be leaving in 20 minutes” With that Zante stands, exits the room, leaving me with Kodan and Zev. Kodan tosses me a phone.

“Our names are on speed dial baby. If you need anything, please call us. We know this is short notice so will do our best to make things easier”

Maggie POV

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!” the class roars as I walk in. I stand there in shock as I stare at the banners around the class.

Bailey comes bouncing over to me like a tiny child at Christmas and embraces me in a tight hug, she is definitely the master mind behind all this. She hands me a present, a card and goes back to her seat beaming with happiness. I open the present and find a beautiful bracelet. I slide it over my wrist and hear Bailey giggling.

I look over and she waves her wrist at me to gesture she has matching one. I shake my head, giggle and look down to inspect the charms on the bracelet. Bailey is really one of a kind. I go to turn and say thank you to her, but the door opens as our mentor enters to start morning class.

I head to the library, choosing to spend my break times there away from the hustle and bustle of the main school. Bailey always went and spent her break times with her younger sister in the cafeteria, but I couldn’t stand the thought of being amongst the rest of the school. I am able to stay away from the bully girls who I swear enjoy making my life hell. It was on the lunch break the was voice appeared again.

“Maggie.” it said almost in a whisper. I look around to see if anyone is nearby who could be playing a prank on me, but as before, there is no one.

Shaking myself I gather my books ready to leave the library for the last lesson of the day.

“Maggie. I’m Lyra… Your Wolf” I stare at the pile of books that I had just dropped all over the library floor. I gulp… my what?

The voice replies as if hearing my thoughts “Your wolf Maggie, you’re a werewolf”. I felt myself trembling until the shrill of the librarian makes me jump causing me to immediately pick up the books.

“This is a library Maggie; you should know better” Mrs Kinder shrieks.

“Sorry” I mutter and scurry out of the library to the toilets, in hopes of being alone. I stare at myself in the mirror and see the green in my eyes is burning brighter than normal and my hair definitely has that green tinge to it that no one ever notices.

Splashing water on my face, I clean myself up and head to class. “Werewolf? No, no that can’t be right. I’m imagining things, definitely going crazy” I think to myself. I wait to see if the voice returned, but it doesn’t.

I sit at the back of the class, at a table by myself as always, hoping to blend in away from everyone else. But that never happens.

“OI FREAK” echoes around the class and before I know it I’m face to face with Tania, the biggest bully of the school. I glare at her as she looks me up and down before pointing at my face.

“You best get out of here, we have a very important guest coming today and we will not have a freak like you causing issues for us” Tania muttered menacingly

.

A growl escapes my lips, a sound I had never heard before, causing Tania to take a step back. I realise I had clenched my fists and calm myself down before heading back to my seat, trying to stop any further embarrassment to myself. Tania tuts and turns on her heel before taking her seat at the front of the class. Our teacher tells us we were to have a talk with someone very important, but she refuses to answer any questions on what the talk was about. Just telling us to have an open mind.

Zante POV

The drive to the city is a short, boring one with barely anything on the radio to listen to. I am bracing myself for the talk I am about to give in-front of hundreds of Graduating students, in the hopes of bridging the gap between the humans and werewolves. I shudder at the thought of the massacre that happened just before I took over as Alpha, 10 years ago. The rogue wolves were mostly caught and killed by the pack however some still remain hidden in society, trying to avoid the same fate.

The horror that unfolded that day will always remain with me. I had the job of trying to calm everyone down and moving werewolves away from the city. I will never forget when I looked back at the city, after calling my pack back to the pack house, humans being ravaged and the city destroyed.

The guilt I feel to this day, being unable to help them as much as I wanted, however I needed to protect the pack. Alpha Raoul lost his life, when the humans he was desperately trying to protect turned on him. I was there, unable to do anything but watch as Raoul submitted to the humans in a plea to show them he was trying to help, however the humans were blinded by hatred towards werewolves and none of us blamed them. From that day, I swore as Alpha I would try my hardest to make the relationship between the two races better.

The city is still under my control and some werewolves live in the city keeping a low profile and working normal jobs, however it is kept very quiet and a human poses for me when big decisions need to be made, however the decisions end with me. I also provide the construction for the city which is used to upgrade the city whenever needed.

Kodan, Zev and I walk the steps up to the school, to be greeted by the Head Master Mr Phillips. He wasn’t the most striking person to look at, small, round glasses and greying hair. He wore a pinstripe blue suit and tipped his hat to me as I approach him.

“Alpha!! Such a pleasure to see you again, it has been far too long” He whispers while taking my hand in his, shaking it hard but kept his respect by keeping his head down.

“Thank you, Mr Phillips, the pleasure is all mine, now please relax” Mr Phillips looks up at me, I’m nearly double his size however he didn’t let that bother him, and grins before he gestures towards the entrance.

“The children are waiting. They do not know what this talk is about however we have explained how important this is going to be” I smile and follow him to the first classroom.

Mr Phillips stands in front of the class and introduces us to the students. I walk in as my name is called, but when I lift my head to greet the class, I felt it.
