Chapter 159
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

My eyes watched as the teachers and staff lost complete control of the kids. Kids now ran out of the buildings, joining the amassing group. They tried to stop them, realizing that the alarms were just pulled and nothing was going on, but it was too late. Our plan had worked. Now the next phase was going to start. The school would call the Alpha, my father. The next test of my months of research and experiments. We finished up the second song and I leaned into the mic to start the song off. ‘We’ll never get free, lamb to the slaughter’ ‘What you gonna’ do when there’s blood in the water?’ ‘The price of your greed is your son and your daughter’ ‘What you gonna’ do when there’s blood in the water?’ Vince took over and I hit the bass drum, to start off the chorus. My eyes glowed as we finished the verse and we dropped into the chorus and I slammed across the toms and cymbals. It was fucking awesome. I hadn’t been this excited and this pumped before. ‘I am the people’ ‘I am the s

“What did it look like I was doing? I was playing music for my fellow classmates.”My eyes found Emmett’s and I stared at him, trying to ask if he was okay. He gave me a quick nod, now that our father was turned to face me. Emmett was my savior and I’d do anything to protect him. He was social, kind, sweet, and compassionate despite our upbringing. Not to mention with our blonde hair and soft features, he was a panty-dropper when he smiled.Emmett, however, had no spine when it came to our father. He took everything without so much as complaint or attitude. His grades were fairly average, but he also coasted, trying not to make waves. His wolf wasn’t always happy with his docility, but he never took control.I was the complete opposite. Outside of Vince, Steph, and Henry who I had known since kindergarten, I was a social disaster. For some reason, I received the social anxiety trait, barely able to speak to people normally. I’

“Skylar, stop. You too, Greg. Quit it.” Caleb chastised us both but neither of us let up glaring at each other. “What are you guys up to today? Since you can’t be home.” I clamped my mouth shut. He was so out of the loop. Caleb didn’t understand the hell we went through. That we took every opportunity to leave this place. That we never considered it home. That this wasn’t a normal childhood like he and Catherine had. The only thing they were ever subjected to was the petty anger that Francesca directed towards them. It wasn’t until we were ten that we found out she wasn’t our actual mother. It made sense, not a single one of us looked like her or our father. All of us had the same blonde hair and brown eyes. Our dad had black hair, blue eyes and sharp features that looked like straight edges. He probably would be handsome if he wasn’t scowling or barking orders. Francesca looked like she used to be beautiful. But time and anger twisted her features into an un
