CHAPTER: ONEARYA WAYNEAll alone in the forest, I was reading my favorite book after my evening class. My mind wandered back to the day my life turned on a new leaf and everything changed suddenly and without caution.I recalled how I once had a perfect life, a perfect family, and parents who loved me. My father was an alpha, and I was the alpha's daughter. We lived a perfect life until the day we lost our pack, the Silver Moon pack, when I was around fourteen years old.My father was the Alpha of our pack until another hostile pack raided us and stripped us of everything, including our home and friends, and we lost the meaning of life after the tragic incident.We were forced to move to another town. Life wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, but at least my expectations weren’t high because we were moving to a town that belonged to humans.My parents were my biggest support system, but my life wasn’t so interesting, and I guess since I wasn’t a full werewolf, my growth was slow;
CHAPTER: TWOALPHA LEO LANCE*Flashback*“Stop it, Dad, I have had enough of this. I have told you countless times that my mate will come when the time is right, and I am not in a hurry to get my mate yet.""I just turned eighteen, and there is no rush in anything. Despite having a girlfriend, Thea is a good girl, and I love her and she loves me. I think that is all that matters.” I angrily told my dad and stood up, ready to leave, but he stopped me.“Stop right there, Leo; you might be eighteen and with a girlfriend, but I am still your father, and I deserve some respect, especially from you.” He echoed through the room, and I sighed.I was eighteen and I still hadn’t found my mate yet. I wasn’t in a hurry though, but my father thought otherwise.I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration and rested back on the couch. He stared at me with an irritated look before he finally spoke up, “You know you can’t be the alpha of this pack without a mate, right?”“Yeah, I also thought so to
CHAPTER: THREEARYA WAYNE I only had one week to prepare for my 19th birthday party, and I had no idea how I was going to do it. I finally gained enough courage to talk to my friend Emily about my situation; she was connected, and I was sure she would help me organize my birthday party.“You called me; I thought something happened to you; you know, I heard what happened the other day, and I thought something happened to you; I was worried about you,” Emily said as we had a conversation a few days after the forest ordeal.“What happened?” I asked obliviously, and she chuckled.“You are acting like you don’t know what I am talking about; you forget I am a beta wolf and I can sense if you are lying to me, and by the way, I know you have been lying to me all this time; how long have we been friends, Arya?” She asked with a disappointed look, and I sighed."I know lying isn’t good but I was doing it to protect myself. With just my father and mother killed by humans and the fact that I had
CHAPTER: FOUR 3RD PERSON’S POVLeo was not happy to see Kai around; he was enjoying the party until he showed up, and that was not part of his plans. All he wanted was some time alone to get to know her, Arya Wayne; he was sure she was his mate, and as much as he hated how weak and timid she was.All he wanted was to confront him and ask him what he was doing at his pack house; he was the Alpha of the pack and had every right to know why he would show up at his pack house without his permission.He knew Kai was stalking her and he had not told his mom about it; he wanted to solve it by himself as the leader, but Kai was giving him a hard time, showing up every time he pleased and even having the guts to stalk her. Even though he had someone onto Arya, it was for her good; he wanted no harm done to her, and that was his aim.Leo walked stealthily to where Kai and his group of friends were seated and demanded to talk to him.“What are you doing here? Was my warning not enough for you to
CHAPTER: FIVEARYA WAYNEThe loud beeping of my phone alarm woke me up from my beauty sleep. I opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the light in my room, but shut them immediately.The rays of the sun shone brightly in the room, reflecting on my face. My body was weak, but I still managed to drag myself to the bathroom. I needed to brush my teeth and wash my face before I could go on my morning run.I quickly walked to the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth, then threw on a tank top and a pair of gym tights, some sneakers, and picked up my headphones, then headed downstairs.“Good morning, honey, How was your night?”“Great dad, thanks for asking; I am just going for a run and I will be back in like forty-five minutes,” I said, and I kissed him on his cheeks and grabbed a piece of apple from the plate on the kitchen counter and ran outside.I knew he wanted to ask me about my birthday party, and I was pretty sure he already knew what happened, but I was still not ready for th
CHAPTER: SIX3RD PERSON’S POVArya’s father was suffering from Carcinoid Syndrome, and since the cancer was already widespread when they found out, the doctor recommended a treatment to shrink the tumors, and that was what kept Mr. Wayne going a few months after he lost his wife.The bills and responsibilities were piling up, and he was stressed, so he passed out while at work and had to be rushed to the hospital again for the third time that month.“Dad, have you been drinking again?” Arya asked her father after she was allowed to see him, as that was also a reason why he would have passed out.“No, why would I go drinking when bills are piling up plus, I know my health; there is no way I would do that, but don’t worry, I just passed out and they rushed me here; otherwise, I am good; I think I was just stressed.” He told her, reassuring her that everything was fine.“You know when I got that call, I thought maybe something bad had happened to you. I was worried.” She said so, and her
CHAPTER: SEVENALPHA LEO LANCE“I can’t believe she took the job; why didn’t she just come to me?" Leo ranted as he paced around the living room; it was a day after Arya started working at Kai’s restaurant, and he was losing his cool.“Why would she refuse to take the job, Leo? You do know that you are just overreacting, and there is no need for this, right?” His mom was trying to calm him down, but Leo was having none of that; he was mad at everyone, at himself for relaxing, and at Kai for taking advantage of Arya’s situation to manipulate her by trying to get back at him.She was just not a pawn in his game; she was in his pack, and he was the one that found her and brought her to their pack and begged his father to let them stay, but all Kai wanted was to piss him off; he wanted a war! And he was going to give him one for as long as he stayed away from her.“You don’t understand, Mom, this is a war between Kai and me; he asked for it, and I am going to give it to him.”“I don’t thin
CHAPTER: EIGHTARYA'S POVI took the job because I needed it and because the pay was good, no lie; I had to help my father, but when I met with Emily the following day, I was shocked to learn that Leo knew about it and that he was mad. The question is, why was he mad at me for taking the job?I wanted to call him, but I was skeptical about it. What if I gave him a bad impression of me? So, I focused on reading for my final exams and waiting for him to call. I hadn’t heard from him for two days, and it kind of felt weird that I hadn’t. I was highly hoping he would call after the moment we shared, the gift, and everything that happened since my birthday.“Are you okay, honey?” My father asked that evening as we watched TV together.“Yes, I am a good dad; why would you think otherwise?” I asked obliviously.“I don’t know, the look on your face and that frown say it all; you know you can always talk to me about anything, you know that, right?”"Yes, Dad, except I am good; I am just exhaust
