The Sacrifice
Godric growled loudly as he stood up from the table. "You can’t have her!"
His outburst caused the table to almost shake. I never heard him sound so angry. Alex jumped out of his seat and came towards me. I didn't understand what was going on. Alex stood behind me with his hands on my shoulders. Godric's eyes darted to Alex's hands and a smaller growl was released. Alex removed his hands promptly.
"Oh, this is getting good." Evander let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Name something else!" Godric said. The elder was trying to calm him down with no success.
I looked up at Alex who was still standing over me. "Alex, what is going on? Why is Godric so mad."
Before Alex could respond, Evander spoke up. "The Alpha and the Beta are worried I won't take good care of you." Evander said smiling as if he had just won. He looked at Godric. "She will be treated like the tribute she will be."
"Me?

The Agreement The next morning, I left Anna in the room alone. We hadn't said much to each other all morning. Just sat in silence. She refused to be there for this next part. And I couldn’t blame her. To her and Godric, I was about to do something awfully stupid. I was going to sacrifice myself for the well-being of everyone else. I was about to walk into a situation without knowing anything. But I would be strong. The walk from the Alpha's room to the negotiation tables seemed like the longest walk ever. I would think my feet would be happy to walk, knowing my parents would be free soon. But instead, I felt like cement blocks were tied to my ankles. While I and Anna slept, I thought a lot about what Godric said. 'What did I want?' When I finally made it to the tables, everyone was standing around. No doubt waiting on me. Godric held out his hand leading me to a seat next to his. Once I was seated, everyone else followe

Dresses For Everyone The ride back to the Alpha's house was a quiet one. Godric and Alex rode in front, with me and Anna in the back. No one saying anything. Somehow, our lives had all changed. Mine more than anyone else. In a week or so I would be property to a rogue leader. My life would no longer be my own. Alex and Anna kept their eyes towards the window, avoiding my gaze at all costs. Godric, whose eyes should have been on the road, kept glancing at mine. Normally I would have avoided his intense stare. But something in me wanted to keep looking until there wasn't anything else to see. As soon as we got back, both Godric and Alex gathered with a few other men while walking inside the house. Their mouths were moving but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. Like the world around me went silent as my mind tried to calm itself. Anna tried to grab my hand and lead me into the house, but Godric requeste

On Again To my surprise, only one guard was standing outside Godric's office. Maybe now that the business is handled with the rogues and the initial shock of a new Alpha has worn off, security won't be so tight in the house. As I approached, the guard moved to the side giving me space to enter. Alpha's words from my last office visit probably still ringing in his ears. I remember how angry he was to see me waiting on the ground. That was only a week ago but so much has changed in such a small time. I knocked once and Godric permitted my entrance. His voice was loud and clear from the other side. I was excited to tell him how happy I was to receive the dresses. But as soon as I pushed the door open, my smile was gone. Her giggles filling the air were almost stinging my ears. When the door was fully open, I could see Godric sitting behind his desk with Sophie comfortably nested in his lap. Her arms were thrown ove

Dinner With The Alpha I made sure to be downstairs at exactly seven. Godric was waiting at the bottom step with his back to me. Alex was waiting with him. They seemed to be discussing something important. Alex looked up at me coming down the stairs. The expression on his face was one I had never seen before. Godric must have thought the same thing because Alex's expression made him turn towards me. I couldn't help but blush from the attention they both were showing me. As I reached the bottom steps, I asked to break the tension, "Where are we all going for dinner?" Godric corrected me. "Alex won't be joining us for dinner. It will just be me and you tonight. If that's ok with you?" He led me towards the front door. I took a look back at Alex, who had taken a seat on the bottom step. He watched until we disappeared out the doorway. "You still haven't answered me. Where are we going for dinner?" "Don’t wor

Not My Normal Birthday The next morning, I was reluctant to make my way to the dining hall for breakfast. Today was 18th my birthday. I was now a mature wolf. I was now an adult. But today was nothing like I thought it would be. There was no ritual knock on my bedroom door from my parents. My mother isn’t entering with a triple chocolate cake. And my dad doesn’t have a small present in his hand, specially wrapped by him. No, this wasn’t the birthday I had been looking forward to. My phone chirped a few times with a few happy birthday texts from my friends back home. Even Luke texted me a simple ‘Happy Birthday.’ Having almost an hour before breakfast started, I took a nice long shower and washed my hair. Since today was a big day for me, I decided to get cute. I searched through the outfits Miss Gillery gave me and found a short, burnt orange sundress. I blow-dried my hair allowing my red curls to set as they flowed down

Friends The plane that I had hoped was taking me to see my parents, took me home instead. Though my heart dropped at not being able to see my parents, I could not help but be excited to return to the only place I ever knew. We flew over the town center and passed my old high school. Landing at the private airport. I was still in shock when the wheels hit the ground. As soon as our feet touched the tarmac, Anna said, "Where to first?" I was so happy; I didn’t know where I wanted to go first. But I knew where I needed to go. I gave the address to the driver of the SUV, Alex rented. And in less than twenty minutes, I was truly home. All three of us were standing in front of what used to be my home. A two-bedroom flat on the outskirts of the town. Surrounded by plenty of woods. My parents specifically chose this place because it was so well hidden from the world. And with so many trees and wooded areas, they could f

Turning The Page My boyfriend for the last 2 years just walked in the coffee shop. I couldn't believe he was here. It's not that I thought I wouldn't see him in town. But I definitely wasn't planning on it. And with another girl. I wondered if that was the girl who answered the phone. She definitely wasn’t from our school, which had a population of five hundred. “When did Luke start coming to the coffee shop?” Clara looked extremely guilty. “Did you call him and tell him I was here?” “I might have said something.” I grabbed my coffee and got up from the table. “I cannot believe you called him and you know we just broke up. I don’t want to see him. Anna let’s go.” Luke and the girl on his arm, made their way towards us. The girl, yelled, “Clara, hey girl.” And then they hugged. I could not believe my eyes. My bestie with my ex’s new girl. What was going on? I decided I didn’t want to deal with this right

The Gift “Is your hand okay?” I asked Alex once we were back on the plane. He didn’t say anything. Not even a smile. Anna laughed. “Don’t worry about his hands. I’ve seen him hit harder than that. Your ex is lucky he is human.” Hearing her laugh, caused a chain reaction in all of us. Both me and Alex started laughing. I watched out the small window as Riverwood disappeared behind the clouds and we made our way back to the pack. The entire ride back, Anna vented about the confrontation. She was both excited and mad. Harboring more ill feelings towards Luke than I did. When we landed on the strip, I was expecting a ride to be waiting for us. But now one was there. Nick drove the plane into the hanger and came out in a truck. He was our ride. “I need to go to the market, so I’ll drive you guys back to the Alpha’s house.” We all packed into his truck and headed home. To my surprise the open field nex
