AdamI'm in my wolf form, crouched low to the ground, watching her through narrowed slits. She's terrified but determined to fight. Her breathing becomes erratic, making it difficult to track her movements.She kicks wildly, striking me repeatedly. I could rip her limb from limb easily, but something about her defiance intrigues me. Something that tells me she may be worth keeping alive.I shift slightly, moving closer to her so that I can smell her fear. My nose twitches as I catch a hint of her blood as she scratched herself.Her eyes are wild as they dart everywhere, looking for some kind of salvation. I lift one large black paw, placing it gently on hers. Immediately, she freezes. A smile creeps across my muzzle as I begin to rub it along the length of her arm. She makes me furious, yet her scent invokes such powerful feelings within me. I want to kill her just as much as I crave to protect her.I lick my lips and inhale deeply. Her sweet scent overwhelms me, driving my wolf crazy
Alyssa "I mean it, Adam... get the fuck out of my room," I yell at him angrily. I slam my hand against the wall beside my bed, causing plaster dust to fall everywhere. He stands there frozen for a moment before moving toward me. "Are you sure about this? How about I show you some fun?" He reaches forward and grabs me by the waist. His hands slide up my stomach and cup my breasts roughly. "What the hell are you doing?" I gasp, trying to pull away. "You don't know what you're missing," he mocks. "Adam, please..." His mouth crashes over mine and our tongues clash together. Our teeth scrape against each other when we kiss. It feels wrong yet exciting at the same time. "Get out or I'll scream for help," I warn him. He smirks. "Fine... have it your way." He steps backward and leaves the room without another word. I sit on my bed, staring after him in shock. What just happened? Was that even real? I thought I was dreaming. This guy is insane. And now he thinks I'm interested in havin
Adam "Alpha, I need a word with you," I tell my father while having breakfast in the dining room. "I know it's early, but I would like to speak to you about something." "Of course. Please, take a seat. What is it?" he replies, motioning for me to sit as he places a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me. "It's Alyssa, sir. There's something I think we need to discuss," I reply, taking a bite of egg and chewing slowly as I wait for him to say something. He eats his food in silence, glancing up at me every few moments. "We've already had this conversation, son," he says, placing a hand on my shoulder. "You don't need to worry about her anymore. She's safe here in our pack." "She's not one of us, dad." I lean forward, lowering my voice. "She doesn't have a wolf and I don't know how you still keep her here." "As I told you before, she is a guest, and guests are welcome here. We cannot afford to turn away anyone in need. Besides, our pack is large enough now that it's unlikely she wou
Alyssa"Hey, love! It's your free day. Got any plans?" Alice asks, throwing herself into a chair opposite me."Nope. Just chilling out today." I shrug, staring blankly at the television screen in front of me."That's boring!" she laughs. "Come on, we're going shopping.""What for?" I raise an eyebrow questioningly."Clothes obviously," she grins. "And shoes, bags, makeup... But before that, we're going for a cup of coffee at Marta's.""Marta's?""Yes," she giggles. "The best damn café in town.""Yeah, okay..." I roll my eyes playfully, getting up to follow her."Don't worry, it'll do you good to get out and have fun. I mean with everything going on lately, you should definitely deserve a break.""I guess so," I sigh, following her down the hall towards the exit. I think she's right. I deserve a break from everything. And if having a nice hot latte will help, then why the hell not? I sit back in the passenger seat of Alice's car when she pulls into the parking lot of Marta's Café."Thi
Adam How dare he disobey my father, the Alpha? Lucas was always such a disrespectful brat. Always pushing people's buttons just to make himself feel better. My father had warned me many times before never to cross paths with him. Yet, every time I turned around, there he stood challenging me. I'm the next Alpha, and I'll soon become the most powerful Alpha ever seen in these parts. I'm the best fighter, fastest runner, and strongest warrior among my peers—and he knows it too well. His arrogance got him kicked out of the pack once already, yet somehow, he managed to find his way back again. He knew how much trouble he'd cause if he challenged me, but he couldn't resist. It was obvious he wanted nothing more than to bring me down because deep inside, he believed I could never beat him. Well, I did. I proved to him that I am worthy of being Alpha. Not only does he have to deal with my wrath, but also my father's. "Who do you think you are, Lucas?" I ask coldly, glaring at him. "Me? Wha
Alyssa Tears stream down my cheeks as I sit on the bed in my bedroom staring blankly at the wall. I've never felt so humiliated as I felt at the cafe earlier tonight. Everyone looked at me like I was trash. The whole town knows about what Lucas said to me. And no one came to my defense. Except for Adam. Only because he was protecting his father. How pathetic am I? I can't believe how stupid I've become. I wanted to get away from all my problems and start fresh somewhere new, yet here I am. Just another loser in a small town where everybody knows each other. Why did Lucas push me into this situation? Why did he have to act like such an asshole toward me? Now everyone knows I don't have my wolf, and I'm nothing more than a freak. All those years ago, I begged my parents to let me leave. To run far away and forget them forever. Yet here I am again stuck in a place full of people who hate me. "Alyssa, are you in here, dear?" Luna Brynne asks from outside my door. "Are you feeling alrigh
Alyssa"Get the hell away from me," I shout at Adam, pushing him away violently.He laughs wickedly, grabbing my wrist. "Don't be stupid! Just because I wanted to play doesn't mean I have feelings for you." He pulls me toward him roughly and wraps his arm around my waist. "Come on, we could go somewhere private and finish what we started.""You're insane," I reply.He chuckles, running his fingers through my hair. "Well, maybe I should show you exactly why.""I'm leaving this fucking pack right now," I growl, tugging my wrist out of his grasp."That's fine by me," he replies, stepping close to me and putting his hands on my shoulders. He looks into my eyes intensely before leaning down and brushing his lips against mine.I try to pull back, but he holds onto my face and keeps kissing me passionately while grinding his hips against me. The sensation causes an intense burning heat between my legs, and I start to panic. I break our kiss and turn to run, but he catches hold of my hand."W
Chapter 14AdamI arrive just in time. I hear Alyssa's cries as Lucas is about to rip her to shreds. I shift to my wolf form and attack Lucas with all that power inside of me. I jump on his back right the second he charges for Alyssa. He tries to shake me off but I hold tight and bite down hard on his neck. My teeth sink into his flesh and blood gushes out.He yelps in pain and tries to bite me but I'm too powerful for him. I tear into his neck and rip out his throat with my teeth, forcing him to let go. I watch as his blood pours out of the wounds I inflicted on him. I look at Alyssa and see she is unhurt. I turn my attention back to Lucas and see he's bleeding out from the wounds on his back. His eyes are wide open staring straight ahead like a deer caught in headlights until they close forever. The life drains out of them before it leaves his body.I look down at Alyssa who looks up at me with fear in her eyes. She runs over to me and wraps herself around me, burying her face again
