Fated Sin

“It’s a bigger pack” my mom said again as we drove to the nearest airport, “respect the alpha and don’t give your aunt too much trouble, she’s doing us a huge favor getting you in on such short notice”“And stay away from boys, especially the bad boy type” she looked back at me, my brother cackled from the seat next to me and I elbowed him.“I’m not interested, especially in boys with an affinity for trouble” I said as I rolled my eyes. “I’m gonna focus on training, I won’t put a toe out of line, pups honor” I said raising my hand and she seemed satisfied for the 10th time that day.I watched the clouds in the window and the cars speeding by, my thoughts on Jensen and how I didn’t even pluck up the courage to tell him I was leaving

Leah and I were good to our word, training fierce and grinding to claw our way out of iron rank 3. In 2 months we were able to make it to iron rank 1, but found reaching bronze was a challenge that we would need more guidance on. My aunt was often too busy to help us train so we would watch other ranks and try to imitate some of their techniques, but we really needed more insight into what we were supposed to be doing.“We need to find someone to train us, try flirting with the bronze boys” Leah nudged me as we sat under the trees watching the bronze train. She giggled at my disgusted look, “you’re so pretty, you could do it”I scoffed and rolled my eyes “says the golden goddess”“Shush, you have this whole porcelain doll vibe going on girl, mysterious and tempting” she waves a

The sun was shining but the air was chilly, with flurries of tiny snowflakes swirling around, the roaring of the falls was drowning out our laughter as we splashed and swam. Despite the frost clinging to the pebble shore, we were enjoying our swim and our wolves kept us warm. Leah had been forced to miss training, so it was Nico and I alone for the first time in the last 3 months. Nico had become a silent ally in our climbing of ranks, it was an unspoken agreement that we didn’t mention his help to anyone. We weren’t entirely sure it was against the rules or not, but I think we all had concerns. Would the Alpha be okay with his son wasting time on bronze ranked wolves? The harsh whispers from Troy and Rayna lingered in the shadows when we passed them. Climbing the ranks wasn’t exactly a team building exercise, it was a competition. The packs tradition believed that an army was only as strong as their weakest warr

I climb the steps to the pack house, I had left my bike at my aunts and walked the short distance. Nico glances up at me as I shut the door behind me and he smiles, he looks exhausted, his hair ruffled like he’s been running his fingers through it to disperse his stress. I nod at him before taking a seat while we wait for the rest of the group to show up.“Listen, we have some disturbing news..” Nico starts as the last person sits down “a rogue was captured alive in the silver dawn pack shortly after we arrived. All interrogations in the past have left us empty handed but this wolf..” his eyes get dark “we broke him”A murmur runs through our small group before he continues, “For the last 20 years this pack of rogues has been hell bent on bringing down all packs, wanting to destroy our hierarchy and bring about chaos. A large

Liam and Nico were stewing, we sat at the cafe near the Inn and sipped coffee after our lunch. We had been waiting on the alpha for 2 hours now, the streets were moderately busy especially for such a small looking town. I’d guess they were all finding a reason to catch a glimpse of the visitors, I wouldn’t be surprised to find someone vacuuming their porch just to have an excuse. I tapped my foot quietly, anxious for this exchange to be over, but also dreading the trip ending. I felt like there was no time to contemplate my choice on choosing Nico as a mate, but then maybe I already knew I’d have to choose him, was there really any point in dragging out the inevitable?‘Romantic’ Nya huffed in annoyance, we both wanted to wait for our mate, but at 26 with an impending war, a mating proposal, and the high possibility our true mate was dead, neither of us could really fight it.
