“Here they are.” I placed a handful of sketches I’d torn from my sketchbook in the centre of the mahogany desk. “These are great, thanks, Sophia.” Alpha Devin spread the pictures out over the table and Alpha Allison chewed on the end of her pen. “Okay, this is the one of Dennis in the forest the night Devin found you.” She placed it at the top left corner of the table. “This looks like a cloud of dust, like when Jasper appeared.” We all stopped for a moment to look at him after Alpha Devin’s observation, but he remained standing upright with his arms crossed over his chest. “It’s a story for another day.” He brushed it off, clearly unhappy with the inquiry. “That’s number two.” Alpha Alison lined it up beside the previous one. “Do any of the scenes look familiar to either of you?” Alpha Allison bit her lip and looked between both of us and I hesitated for a second before pointing to an image. “This one, The day Jasper and I bumped into each other in the forest, his eyes lo

“Keep going, you’re doing great, Sophia!” Cecile chanted as I brought my fists down harder and harder on the bag. After a month of being here, Alpha Allison insisted I start training again, it was something I enjoyed doing with my mum since I was old enough, but after she got really sick, it didn’t seem right, which unfortunately meant that I hadn’t trained since my first shift nor had I ever trained in wolf form. The latter was one I was still working on, shifting for the first time was the worst experience of my life, so bad that I passed out only minutes later and woke up naked in the forest. Since that day I have been afraid to shift and I can feel the strain it’s putting on my wolf, Selene, but no matter how much she pushes or retreats, I can’t seem to get over the feeling of my skin tearing and my bones breaking. “Okay, hands up, take a break,” Cecile called a break and I held the bag to stop. Sweat was dripping heavily from my body, handing me a towel and bottle Cecile gri

“Why are you avoiding me?” I stood in the doorway of Alpha Devin’s office, blocking Jasper's exit. “Move, Sophia.” His eyes narrowed dangerously and no matter how inclined I was to back down, Selene pushed me to stand my ground. “Answer me and then I will.” I crossed my arms over my chest, giving him my most stubborn look. We were basically alone in the house since Ben was playing playstation with headphones on, Dominic was peacefully sleeping in his bedroom with the door shut and the baby monitor on and both Alphas had to rush off to tend to an emergency at the main packhouse. “I’m standing here aren’t I?” He skillfully avoided the question causing me to narrow my eyes. “Trying every means necessary to leave, yes.” I shot back snarkily. “What do you want from me, Sophia?” He sighed, his shoulders dropping along with his face. It was then that I noticed the bags under his eyes, and the weariness in his features, he looked exhausted. “Can we talk, please?” My tone was soft

“Are you sure you’re okay, can I get you anything?” Alpha Devin stressed as I got comfortable on the couch making his mate and I chuckle, while Jasper raised an eyebrow at his behaviour.  “Alpha Devin, I am perfectly fine, stop stressing over me.” I tried, but by the worry lines on his face, I knew it did little to calm him. He felt responsible for the attack since we were out for a run before our training session and he left me alone to follow a rogue scent he picked up, I was heading back to the alpha house when they intercepted me and there were too many to fight off that by the time he arrived the rogue already had a knife to my throat.  “Devin, she said she’s fine, why don’t you go catch up on some of that paperwork pilling in the office and I’ll feed Nicci, I&rsquo

“Where did you find this?” Alpha Devin rushed to us and took the syringe from Jasper’s hand, bringing it to his nose to sniff the contents.  “In the forest where Sophia was attacked.” He revealed and the two alphas shared a confused look.  “We combed the site thoroughly and we didn’t find this.” Alpha Allison frowned.  “That’s because where Alpha Devin found me wasn’t where they initially attacked me. I was on my way home when they grabbed me from behind and tried to inject me with this stuff, but I struggled and kicked the syringe from the rogue’s hand. They dragged me towards the border that’s when Alpha Devin intervened.” I explained, realising that I hadn’t really tol
