Storm’s povSomehow, it made sense. All this fucking time, the daughter of the Iron Alpha had been in our pack, in my bed. Was this why she killed my mother? Was evil just in her fucking blood?I stared at her father, who seemed way too fucking calm. I had seen him fight, and he was fucking brutal, and suddenly he stopped fighting, merely defending himself, and it was making me so fucking pissed. Did he think I wasn’t worth the fucking fight?!Then he knocked me out, and I woke up stitched up, dressed in some sweatpants and a shirt, pumped full of wolfsbane, and fucking pissed. I was in a cell that looked more like a tiny room. It had a bed, a small table, and even a TV. There was also a shower with a toilet that was separated from the rest by a short wall, so you got some privacy, but they could still see where you were. What the fuck was this type of dungeon? It was nothing like the one beneath my packhouse.Alpha Asher sat down in front of me, and I wanted to knock that arrogant smi

Storm’s pov"So, you’re expected to clean the fucking stables. Or is that beneath an alpha?" Cyrus said, winking at me."Klootzak," I muttered under my breath and went to work.I hadn’t seen animals like this. I thought I would be taken to a meat farm. We had several farms where we raised cattle or grew crops. But the only purpose of this farm seemed to be to take care of animals. Cyrus talked about them like they were his pets; he had even given each of them a name. Fucking weird names.I stroked a horse’s mane, "Ant? What the fuck is that for name?""I heard that!" Cyrus yelled from across the barn.Osiris had kept to himself, but always kept an eye on me. After a while, he suddenly spoke. "I lost my parents too, when I was young.""I know that. It’s because you fucking killed them."Osiris growled and pushed me, "how dare you!"I growled back, ready to attack him."Os! Just fucking calm down." Cyrus yelled from the back.Why the fuck did Osiris let this Cyrus guy speak to him this w

Storm’s povWhy did she have to look so fucking good?!I gradually regained contact with Brand and Aaro. She was fucking nervous.I couldn't concentrate on her, not after what Alpha Asher had said. Could it be fucking true or was he a liar like his daughter?I had to admit that everything I had seen of the Iron River pack so far was how I would picture a perfect pack. They seemed to respect Alpha Asher, but no one seemed scared. Everyone was treated fairly and had a fucking choice. And they genuinely seemed happy. There was not a single happy person in our packhouse. Dad didn’t fucking care about happiness, only power. Mom was miserable, and everyone else was fucking terrified.The only times I had been happy were when I was with Aaro."Cara?" I tried to mindlink the one person that I knew I could trust. But there was no fucking reply. Even if something happened to her, I wouldn’t have felt it because of the wolfsbane.Who else?"The omegas, Alpha Asher mentioned. They were always loya

hi I get stressed related headaches, and I guess socializing with my mil was too much. ;) or it's pms. anyway, I've written half a chapter, but I can't finish it right now due to a massive headache.I'll go sleep now and hopefully be able to finish tomorrow.I know you aren't complaining, and you're always supportive. I just wanted to keep you updated, so you're not waiting for nothing. I also wrote the last 5 chapters without a clear plan, just letting my imagination lead, but now I have to tie it all together. So I'm to make a plan, but it isn't easy with my head pounding.

Aaro’s pov"I think he does care," Kane said, but he hadn’t seen Storm for the last few weeks.Yeah, he had sex with me, but that didn’t mean shit. Storm obviously regretted it, and the stupid mate bond was probably too blame. I knew Storm wouldn’t accept our help and would leave as soon as possible. But I just wanted one fucking day with him.One day, I could pretend this was our life. I could be home and have Storm too. I wouldn't have to fucking choose. Not that I even had the choice of coming back; his pack would never accept me.We were enemies, and there was no future for us.It hurt to see the footage. I was hurt a lot fucking more than I realized, and so was Eve. When I was in it, it all happened so fast, but seeing it back, it actually took me a while to get up and get the knife."Can I show this to your dad?" Kane asked.I nodded my head; I had told dad what happened anyway. I had no clue where Storm had gone, but dad was in Kane’s office shortly after he mindlinked him.Kane
