Fool - Prologue
The most I remember about my mother was her laugh. She loved to laugh and she made other people around her laugh. As luna of the pack, she had a lot of responsibilities, but Mom always had time for tea parties or late night makeovers. She made me feel precious, calling me a beautiful girl, and like I was so important to her. I wasn’t the only one who she made feel that way. Dad lit up when he was with her, laughing and dancing through the house. My brother always was more self assured and confident after talking to her.
Mom was an amazing person and everything changed when she died. After my brother abandoned us, Dad became cold and mean. He now ruled the pack with an iron fist. I was no longer precious or a beautiful girl. There were no more makeovers or tea parties. As his only child left, I had to become the son my father lost.
I had a simple pla

My muscles burned from training and all I wanted to do was take a shower, but Father sent for me. When your father was the alpha, you had to obey, even if you were sweaty and stinky. I sniffed, trying to wipe some sweat off my forehead. I only mixed it with the sweat on my arm and make me feel even more miserable. Wesley, Father’s beta, was leaning against the gym door frame. His muscled build made the doorway appear smaller.“Any idea what he wants to talk about?” I asked, walking up to him.“No idea, but he’s in a mood. He went out hunting with new enforcer recruits and came back all growly.”I sighed, running my hand over the short stubble that was my hair in irritation. “Let me guess, he screwed his knee, didn’t he?”

I clapped my fist into the palm of my other hand repeatedly as Sadie, the beta’s mate, tried to decide what I should wear for the evening’s little meet and greet. We were now in Blue Crescent territory and tonight would start the week-long meetings, where all the alphas of the country discussed policies, issues, and other politics. Under other circumstances, I’d be excited to be here, but Father made it clear I couldn’t attend the meetings. I could only attend social events.Jon was right. As hard as I tried, Father wouldn’t budge. My only reason for being there was to be bait for his replacement. Jon promised he’d find me someone willing to be my fake mate. I hoped he found the guy quickly; I wasn’t sure how long I could play along. I already wanted to hit something.“How about this?” Sadie said, holding up

I changed out of the dress, resisting the urge to rip it to shreds. Instead, I laid it on the bed. Not its fault I screwed up. I changed into my normal clothes, tank, jeans, and boots and sat on the bed, waiting for Father. He’d want explanations when he’d return.I didn’t have to wait long before I smelled him coming. As soon as the door opened, I stood in military rest. Father’s eyes blazed amber as he stared at me from the doorway, his expression twisted in a fury. He straightened his posture, visibly taking a deep breath. “Well?”“I’m sorry, Sir.”“You’re sorry? That’s all you have to say? I have spent the evening attempting to find the pack’s new alpha only to have you assault the hosting alpha’s son in front of everyone, and th

Dean ~~~ I groaned as I saw Mom waiting for me outside the men’s locker rooms. “I’m fine,” I said before she could say anything. “Are you sure? She didn’t just break your nose, she crushed it.” “Yeah, I know. I was there, remember,” I told her and waved my hand over my face. “But I healed, and I don’t even have a bruise.” I appreciated the worry, but it also irritated the crap out of me. She wouldn’t be acting like this with my older brother, Ryder. Mom pursed her lips as she looked at my face. “Are you sure about her? I mean, perhaps you are merely fascinated by her.” I snorted. “Really Mom? I get you all to think I’m out there, but I’m not that far out there

“Where have you been?” Father demanded when I walked into my bedroom. Sadie was there as well. “I was doing some work in the gym.” His thin lips pressed into a thin line as he glared at me through narrowed eyes. “You don’t need to be doing any of that anymore. You’re too hard. Men like their women soft and they most definitely don’t want their women stronger than they are.” I nearly snorted in response, but I controlled myself. I hadn’t been soft in a very long time. “There is another gathering tonight,” her father told her. “You have one hour, be ready — Sadie, make her look less like that.” He waved a hand towards me for emphasis. She bowed her head. “Of course, Alpha.” “G

We walked around a few minutes more when we stopped by the future alpha, Ryder, and his mate. “Alpha Joseph, I was wondering if I could speak with you a moment,” Ryder said.Surprise flashed over Father’s face for a moment. “Of course, what would you like to discuss.“I wanted to ask your opinion on the proposed stance on rogue prevention offered by the Alpha of Death Valley. It seems quite controversial and seems like a lot of the others are against it,” Ryder said, holding out his arm for them to speak.Father glanced back at me. I could tell he wanted to talk to the future alpha, but was afraid of what scene I might make. I told him I’d return to the room when Brook spoke with a bright smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep your daughter company, Alpha Joseph.&r

Dean pulled us into a dark room with a large pool in the center. “No one ever comes in here this late, so we should be good,” he said, sitting on the edge. He took off his shoes and rolled up his pants. “Come on, dip your feet in. The water is great. I promise I won’t bite unless you ask.” He waggled his eyebrows at me.I rolled my eyes as I sat next to him. We shouldn’t be doing this. This was a bad idea. But I didn’t want Dean thinking I was afraid of him. Because I wasn’t. Nope. Not at all. “Why are we here?”“Why not?”“My father—”“You worry too much, beautiful. You’ve been here a few days now, and I’ve hardly got to say three words to you before someone takes

All my worrying about Father catching us outside the room with Dean was pointless. Father didn’t come to see me until almost nine in the evening. “So how did everything go?” I asked when he sat in the window seat.“The usual humdrum. That girl, Alice, she’s not giving up on her silly ideas concerning the rogues,” he replied as he narrowed his eyes at me.My throat tightened as he continued to stare. “What?”“I should ask you that,” he said in a gruff bark. “What did I do to deserve such betrayal from my family and those I most trust?”Uh-oh. “W-what do you mean?”Father scoffed, and the glare turned downright glacial. “I’m no fool,
