Shift Chapter 157
The next day we spend outside behind the shop. I thought about staying in, but everything felt too enclosed for me. Even after we moved some of the furniture out of the way. So I lead Ethan and Justin through the forest to the little pond or watering hole that I continued to come back to every time I was out running. We sat at the end and talked a little bit before I dove into a more meditative state.Ethan and Justin flanked me, helping me regulate and pull more darkness out of me. It wasn’t out of control or anything but they were still pulling, seeing how much we could get down. This wasn’t the first time Justin was doing it but it was the first time out of the watchful eyes of the witches. He was nervous but that fell away after we slipped into a bit of a rhythm.For the first time, I felt better about my control. I felt like I was getting somewhere. That it wasn’t always trying to take over. It wasn’t a constant battle to push it back, to keep it from roaring its ugly head. Justin
Shift Chapter 158
Ethan didn’t say anything. I got up, leaving everything on the table and as I went down the stairs, my feet moved faster. I’d pulled Thing out of the garage earlier and I was glad now. It was overcast today and I’d kept the doors shut in case it rained. Making my way out the door, I made sure it shut before I unlocked the car door.“Sky…” I could hear the fear in his voice.“I’m getting in the car now.”He was quiet as I put him on speaker as I started up Thing and pulled out of the shop. I doubted Ethan was sitting there and I was right as I heard Justin in the background. I’m sure there was a bunch of things he could do on his end but at the very least I could take the road heading to the pack. There was really only one way to get to the shop by car from the pack which made it easy, it just wasn’t a quick drive.The sound on the other end got louder and I assumed Ethan put me on speaker

The phone went dead as I watched Ethan pulled over and get out. His eyes roamed over his Mom’s car before coming over to me. I let my hand fall and the phone slip out, digging into the mud. Ethan was searching my face but you could see he already knew. Handing him the paper, Ethan looked at it before he stepped back from me.I watched as he struggled to control his shift. Part of me wanted to reach out but as I did, I pulled my hand back. This was my fault. His Mom was taken because of me. What right did I have to reach out to him as he lost control for a moment. Shutting my eyes against his pain for a moment, his wail turned howl hurt and Raine howled as well.“I…I’ll get her back. Ethan, I promise.” I opened my eyes and realized his brown ones were boring into me.“Like hell you are. I’m bringing in Heath. I’m taking down that pack once and for all.”This time I reached out and took hold of his arm.

I walked into the pack house and it was completely different from normal. Warriors moved in and out, a few of them nodded to me as I walked in. The air was serious but loud with everyone talking. After splitting with Ethan, I’d gone back to the shop to grab a duffel bag of essentials. Since I didn’t know when or if I would be back, I also apologize to the owner of the Mach 1 and told him that all the work I did already he didn’t need to pay for and I also paid for the tow back to his location.Now, being in this chaos, I felt myself shrinking back into the corner. Of course, Justin could feel me and knew when I was about to do that. He stepped back from the kitchen table turned planning table and encompassed me in a hug. His lips pressed to my forehead.“I’m sorry, Half-Pint. We will figure this out. I promise.”I wrapped my arms around him and pressed my face into his chest. “I know.”He took my arm and dragged me through the people into the kitchen. Ethan was pacing behind the table,

I didn’t like this. As much as it seemed like Ethan knew the guys from the Alpha King, they seemed off. Really, I was probably biased since the one interaction with the Alpha King I had was him sending mercenaries after me. Still, I felt on edge the moment they stepped into the pack house. They could be here to kill me and move on to Silver Mountain. There really wasn’t anything I felt the Alpha King wouldn’t think of in this scenario.Ethan thought it would be good for me to step up and meet them when they walked in. Both telling them I mattered in this space as well as showing them I wasn’t some evil being hellbent on ruining the world. Raine stepped in and said that was to decided and Ethan did not think that was funny. Justin did, since he giggled in the background.Now I had been tossing and turning all night. We were leaving tomorrow and I didn’t feel good about anything. I didn’t feel comfortable. Finally fed up, I snuck out from between Ethan and Justin. Sneaking down the hall

Justin was tapping the steering wheel as we drove down the last stretch for this evening. Tomorrow we would be heading into Silver Mountain at around three. I’d decided to text Emmett yesterday that I was headed to the pack but he never replied. That was unusual and it set me on edge. Not that I was sleeping well to begin with but if it wasn’t Ethan or Justin, it was Sam forcing me to sleep in the beds of the ridiculously expensive hotels we were staying on the way.I’d never stepped foot inside fancy hotels before but I knew the signs. We’d get into the room and there would be chocolates on the pillows with extravagantly folded towels in the bathroom. It was nice that we didn’t need to shower in the gross places I had slept in leaving the pack but apparently, these were all being paid for by the Alpha King. Sam decided since it was on his dime, she’d try to go through the late night menu and eat her way through the hotels.“We going to talk about it now?”I raised my eyebrow and look

*** 17 years ago *** I screamed out, the pain becoming too much. Here, on the floor of the dungeon, in the cage that was provided for me, I was going to have my fourth pup. It was the same every time. On this dirty disgusting floor, alone outside of the pack doctor, I’d give birth to my pup and they would be swiftly taken from me. “Come on, Katerina. You’ll be free after this one.” The doctor stood in the corner. He was told not to touch me, not to comfort me. Only my pups. They only wanted them, not me. It made his words surprising; he’d never spoken to me before now. Alpha Devon Cross, my mate, my love, my everything. In high school he was the one all the girls crushed on. He was the one that all the she-wolves dreamed to have as their mate. Someone like me though, an Omega, wasn’t good enough for an Alpha like him. I thought I’d be lucky if a kind, lower status wolf was my mate. I was so wrong. When I turned 18, Devon found me, and took me right there in the classroom. We were

*** Skylar POV - Present Day *** “Sky, are you sure you still want to do this?” I looked up at my friend, smirking. “Are you kidding? Vince, we’ve been planning this for months. Literally months. I’ve paid all the freshmen to pull as many fire alarms around the school as possible.” “Can we really do this though?” Steph came up behind me and helped steady the speaker I was setting into the ground. Taking out my ruler, I checked the angle of the box before tilting it back two degrees and bolting it down. “We got this, guys. Stop worrying. You have your masks and your escape plans. You don’t need anything else other than your rocking soul.” Steph sighed and nodded. “Yeah yeah.” “Are you going to be okay? You’re the only one without a mask. They are going to know it’s you.” Vince was always the one who wanted to worry for me. He hovered a little too much sometimes. I already had two older brothers and a sister, I didn’t need anyone else hovering. “I’ll be fine. I know the worst my
