“Alpha.” The voice was sweet and she easily recognized it as her other best friend, Myra blindsided her with a hug from the side, her head just an inch lower than Jordyn’s even though she was older.
“Myra.” Jordyn said, feeling a sense of relief wash through her as she took in her short brown hair that just barely came to her jawline. She sported a ring in the right side of her nose that Jordyn didn’t remember being there before she left. Jordyn returned the hug quickly. “I missed you.”
“I missed you too, alpha.” Myra bowed her head at Jordyn.
“Myra, don’t, just Jordyn please.”
A few more familiar faces walked through the door, carrying Jordyn’s luggage. Aaron, Ethan, and Justin all dropped some of her bags on the floor. “Jordyn, you sure have grown up.” Ethan was the first to talk. He sniffed the air quickly and his eyes finally settled on Jillian as he practically growled the word “mate.”
Jordyn rolled her eyes, knowing what to expect but trying to ignore the pain that hit her chest as Ethan stalked over to Jillian. She was pleasantly surprised when Jillian held up a hand in front of Ethan’s face. “Not now, stud, our Alpha’s in pain.”
Silver howled and Vivian whimpered at the reminder of the sudden heartbreak. Jordyn tried to look away from the group but she knew that they wanted an explanation, so she gave it to them, trying to remain with as little emotion as possible. Once her explanation was over she carried her bags to her room, quickly shifting into her wolf form and running once she had set her stuff down. She didn’t care that her clothes got shredded when she shifted, Jade held the door open for her, knowing she needed space and time, she ran until she came to a small lake. She took her time as she glanced over her wolf’s skin. Her pure white fur looked almost as soft as it felt and her now amethyst colored eyes just accentuated her coloring. She loved her wolf’s skin almost as much as she loved her attitude.
‘Silver, we don’t need him, right?’ She could feel her heart breaking again as she questioned her wolf.
‘Not at all, Jordyn, we have each other.’
‘And me.’ Vivian chimed in.
Jordyn stayed in her wolf form, walking through the trees, just strolling along the pack’s border. She had no problem with the pack’s border patrol since they could all feel that she was their alpha, they just greeted her with a curt nod, if they didn’t bare their necks in submission. She just walked around, enjoying the scenery that was once home to her until the sun started to fade and night started to fall. She mind-linked the pack to let them know that they would be choosing a new beta tomorrow before she shifted back to her human form, going inside and laying down to sleep.
One Year Later...Jordyn stood her ground against her new-ish beta, Will. Sweat was dripping down her chest and stomach as she slid past him and took him down by his legs, pinning him down quickly in an almost uneventful fight.She knew her pack still had doubts about her being the alpha and she took every opportunity that she could to show them that she was the strongest of them all. A group of them tried to challenge her at one point but none of them succeeded. She easily lost a dozen pack members when none of them could take her down, they just left, not knowing how to handle a female that was stronger than them.She turned to the group of young shifters that were being trained, all of them awestruck at how quickly she took Will down, she gave them a small smile, knowing none of them were even able
She finished her shower and dressed in a pair of black leggings and a grey tank top. She pulled her hair up in a high pony-tail and walked down to Myra and Jillian who rushed her out of the house.Justin was driving since Will and Ethan didn’t like them going out alone, even if it was still on pack lands. Normally Jordyn was fine being escorted out shopping, but Justin had a few too many drinks about a week ago and made a ton of advances on her, begging her to choose him as a mate. It didn’t bother her much, but it definitely made the whole trip awkward.The sun was already close to retreating back into its hiding spot, probably about three more hours before the sun started setting behind the mountain. Jordyn could smell the barbecues firing up for dinner and she knew that the pack was serious about celebrating her Alpha ceremony for the entire week
Jayce left his packhouse early the day before the invitation to the eclipse pack’s alpha’s inauguration. He had some business that he had to settle with the new alpha since they had been having a rogue problem and their treaties were almost up. He figured if he showed up early he could get the matters taken care of before the ceremony and just enjoy the celebration. He mindlinked his beta. ‘David, I’m leaving now, keep an eye out for the pack and I’ll see you tomorrow at the celebration.’ ‘Alpha, are you sure you want to go alone, why not take Stephanie?’ David answered back. ‘I need to get away from that woman.’ Jayce snarled. ‘She brought up getting married again, didn’t she?’ ‘Why can’t she be like any other she-wolf
“The alpha said you can shower and get settled in, the alpha will meet you in thirty minutes.” she stated.Jayce smiled at her as she closed the door, then he walked to the ensuite bathroom and showered quickly, wondering how he was going to approach the alpha about his mate. He was ecstatic that he finally found her, but he knew some alphas were hard to let a pack member go. He washed his hair and body quickly, wondering how that conversation was going to go. He dressed quickly, consumed with his thoughts of the beautiful woman he met by the river. He dressed nicely, knowing that the alpha of the pack was going to have questions about him taking one of the pack members. He wore a navy blue button up shirt and a nice pair of dark blue jeans, he brushed his teeth quickly and hoped that his mate was there when he met with the alpha.He was led to the
Jordyn straightened her clothes, intently staring at the door. She couldn’t believe that Jayce just left her like that.‘What the hell was that?’ Silver whined. ‘Why didn’t you ask him to stay?’‘It’s not like any of us know what we are doing.’ Vivian remarked.‘I do, it’s instinct.’ Silver complained.‘I don’t get it, is there something wrong with me?’ Jordyn interrupted their bickering.‘There’s nothing wrong with us.’ Vivian comforted. A red glow appeared around where Vivian’s voice came from, although it was just a glowy silhouette of Jordyn.‘Uh, Viv, what&r
‘Alpha Jayce.’ the mindlink came through.‘Not now David.’‘It has to be now. It’s urgent.’He grunted and thought about ignoring the call for a few minutes but when he looked at her, her eyes were still distant and she was so beautiful and perfect that he would never be able to forgive himself if he rushed their first time together. “You too?”“Me too… We could just.” Her voice was still filled with a thick passion.“I want to take my time with you, you’re not just some random she-wolf I’m fucking for the fun of it.”“You’ve been with others?” The passion was gone fr
Jordyn woke up, almost blinded by the halogenic lights they use in the hospital. Machines were beeping close by her, which just confirmed where she was. Jayce’s hand covered hers. “What happened?” Her voice was weak and barely sounded like her.“I think we met Vivian.” Jillian answered as she walked into view.“What?” She questioned, glancing between Jayce and Jillian. Jayce nodded his answer. “Where’s Myra? I don’t have time to be stuck here.”“I’m right here.” Myra answered as she quietly shut the room door. She was wearing a white lab coat and dark blue scrubs underneath. “Alpha, now that you are awake we have no reason to keep you, we will release you, but we still have no clue as to why you even passed out in the first pla
She glanced around the room but when she couldn’t see Jayce anywhere, she headed up to the office, to her office. She wasn’t surprised to see that all the council members were there. Myra and Marilyn Wood both stood there. Will and Ethan followed her into the room.“My dear, they need to leave.” Jason stated, his ashy-brown hair almost covering his eyebrows completely.“No!” Jordyn raised her voice causing everyone in the room to flinch. “They are family, just like everyone else in this room.”‘Jordyn, I’m scared.’ Vivian’s voice echoed in her head.‘Everything will be alright, I’m sure.’ Silver comforted her.“What is wrong with m
