Always in The Pack
I was too wired to stay asleep. I stayed awake until the party dwindled. And once I was sure everyone was asleep or in their houses, I went for a run. My wolf needed to stretch her legs. I think she was just as worried as I was that we would be locked away in some cage. Even though it was written in the treaty that I would not be caged, who knows if I could really trust Evander.
No one would be there ensuring he holds up his part of the bargain.
By the time I finished showering and getting dressed, it was time to go. A worker in the house assisted me with carrying my bags downstairs.
Waiting for me in the driveway were Alex, Godric, and Anna. We all piled into one car. Behind us were seven vans. I suppose those would be transportation to bring the prisoners back to the pack lands.
The exchange would take place at the two cabins where the negotiations were held almost a week before. During the
Everyone I Love I was now a part of the Blood Moon pack. Officially a pack member. Anna hugged me and welcomed me. I bowed to Godric. “Thank you, Alpha.” Both he and Alex embraced me with a hug. I was happy as a feeling of acceptance rushed through me. At first, I wanted nothing to do with pack life. Now it was all I craved. Breakfast with the pack. Training in the morning. Dinner with my new family. Even though I would never see this wonderful land again, the gesture of him inviting me to the pack was everything I needed right now. Our timing was perfect. Just as we appeared from the back of the cabin, A few cars and two buses arrived. “They’re here.” I left the group behind and ran towards the buses, which already started spitting out prisoners. I wasn’t paying attention to the cars which carried the rogues who would soon determine the rest of my life. I was only concerned with seeing my parents.
Commander I was woken by a loud knock at my hotel door. The knocking persisted until I finally shouted, “OKAY!! I’m up!” The person on the other side of the door chuckled before saying, “You’ve got twenty minutes, and then we are pulling out.” I sighed wishing I could sleep a little longer. The sun was barely up and they were ready to hit the road. I brushed my teeth. Then threw a pair of jeans, a plain white crop top, and a pair of white vans. I grabbed my backpack and checked the room to make sure I didn’t leave anything. All of the rest of my bags were still stuffed in the trunk of Evander’s car. I opened the door and Evander was standing directly in front of me. “I thought I was going to have to come in there and get you.” “What? A girl can’t brush her teeth and dress.” I said in a rude tone as I brushed past him. I made a beeline to the car with Evander on my heels. He passed me by to hurry
Last Call **Day 1** Evander opened the door to the stone house. He then stepped to the side to allow me to step in first. The brick house had a rustic feel to it. The wood floors beneath my feet were a dark shade. And the walls were a cream color. The charming foyer was half the size of Godrics, yet still beautiful. The ceiling above was made of the same wood as the floor. And instead of a fancy chandelier, there were three matching exposed beams with dangling lights between each of them. Giving the house more of a cathedral look. After we cleared the foyer, the house revealed an open floor plan with an arched doorway separating the living room and dining area. The entire room was almost surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. Giving me a full view of the forest surrounding the back of the house. There was a lingering burnt ash smell. Compliments of the oversized fireplace built into the only wal
Obstacles Evander practically threw me into the car, slamming the door behind him. I'd never been so scared in my life. It was only the first day and I already made him lose his temper. His eyes were black as night when he snapped Brad's neck. Granted I was angry with the young boy, but I didn't want him dead. I couldn’t help but think, what would have happened if Evander had not shown up. My skin began to crawl as I relived Brads’ hand on me. My mind came back to the here and now when Evander jumped in the driver’s side, slamming his door as well. The entire crowd who witnessed everything just stood around looking at the car drive away. I was shocked to see what just happened didn’t break up the party. The music started again as we pulled out the driveway. What's more surprising is no one did anything to stop him. They just watched as Evander handed down a death sentence. Without question or plead
The Trio Patrick and Evander agreed to try the farming idea. They spent the next hour picking which foods they would grow and putting together a plan. Evander suggested they buy animals like chickens and roosters to create a supply of eggs and more chickens. "All we need now is a farming team to execute the plan," Patrick said. "We can do get some volunteers tonight at the community meeting." "Since when is there a town meeting?" Patrick asked. "Since now. Get everyone together. Meeting starts an hour before sundown." Evander thanked Patrick for his time and the coffee, and we jumped back in the car. "You inquired about the land? Why?" Evander asked me to refer to my comment about Godric’s farming suggestion. I answered him. "Why wouldn't I want to know about the land where I would spend the rest of my life." Evander wasn't satisfied with the answer I spit out. He gave me a skeptical look
The Community I was amazed to see everyone under Evander’s command and running this community was young. Each person seemed to be more than 5 years older than me. Where were all the old people? We made two more stops to isolated homes before finally making it to the center of the property. I recognized the area from the previous day, where saw the four long homes and the huge barn. Looking at everything now, I realized it would maybe be a year or two before they completely settle in. Unlike Godrics’s land, there weren’t any buildings, stores, or even markets. As soon as we exited the car, all eyes were on us. I noticed a few tables with umbrellas placed near the barn. And in the middle of those tables was a big pit used for grilling food. Smoke arose from the pit and floated through the air. Evander must have noticed me eyeing the umbrellas. By now the sun was at its highest peak. “You can go sit but stay
Anything I wantI pushed through the crowd, making my way back to the bonfire. The unknown girls’ words were still on my mind. ‘Masters new pet.’ I wasn’t his new pet.When I cleared the crowd and entered the circle of logs placed around the bonfire, Evander’s and Mason’s eyes landed on my shirt.“Oh. Looks like the baby had an accident.” Mason teased. I ignored him.Evander asked, “What happened to you?”I decided not to make things worse by ratting on Mia. Instead, I responded. “Nothing. I had an accident.”Both of the guys burst out laughing.I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms across my chest. “I’m ready to go Evander.”“Well, I’m not.”“Well, I’ve had all I can take for tonight. I’m ready to go.”For a moment, I forgot where I was and who I was tal
Zaya's CompanionI was alone staring at myself in the mirror. ‘What just happened?’ I asked myself.I rushed out of his bathroom and out of his bedroom, catching only a glimpse of Evander laying across his bed. I ran to my room and closed the door behind me. My knees collapsed next to the bed. I sat on the floor leaning against it for support as I sat there on the floor.My skin was burning as my chest struggled to maintain a steady breathing pattern. I was scared of him and what he planned on doing to me. But yet my wolf thought otherwise.My wolf missed Godric truly but deep inside, somehow, she was attracted to Evander. He was tall and handsome. But I wasn’t going to give in to her temptation.I fell asleep lying on the floor.My body jerked awake as I felt the sun against my skin. It was morning again. My head was spinning from the little bit of alcohol I digested yesterday. “W
