Stay Away From Him

~Shiloh~I was mortified because of what Houston said to me, but I tried not to show it. I didn’t want anyone to be able to tell how much he embarrassed me. If I could disappear into thin air, I would gladly accept it. I can’t even believe that he told me not to sit at this table anymore. I don’t sit here at every meal, but when I do, it’s never been a problem. Now, he doesn’t want me to sit here, and I’m sure that Alpha Tyrice won’t contradict him. I’m no fool, by any means. I know that Jakob doesn’t care for me, and I suspect that Alpha Tyrice feels the same. I don’t really care what they think of me because they aren’t who I’m after. Let me be clear, I’m not the ambitious type. I’m not trying to gain a title for myself. I want Houston; I always have. I’ve kept my eye on him since we were in school. He’s a gorgeous man who has never really paid me much attention. Don’t get me wrong, Houston has never been what you would call a ladies' man. He’s always been respectful when it come

The Phone Call

~Alayasia~Why did you walk away?What do you mean, Clover?Why didn’t you stand up for yourself? Why did you fight for our mate?You can’t be serious right now. We don’t have a mate! We can’t claim Houston without revealing our true selves. We have nothing except Zara. I refuse to stand in the way of his happiness for my own selfishness. Clover blocks me, but I saw that coming. There’s anger coursing through my body. It’s partially from the back and forth I just had with Clover, and the other part is from the words that woman said to me. I shouldn’t be surprised, I mean, I’m used to the words thrown at me from being deemed human. It’s something about her words in particular that got under my skin. I sigh and continue my way to the Alpha’s office. Maybe I need to reject this job and leave. I know how horrible an idea this is, but I can’t help those thoughts. I just want to survive and take care of my child. I don’t want to cause anyone any issues, and I don’t want to have harm fall

Good News

~Houston~It’s been a week and a half, and I’m not holding up well. I’ve been trying to be in Alayasia’s orbit, but she keeps shutting me out. I let her use my office to work, and she makes sure to stay out when I'm in or exit quickly when I come to check on her. She hasn’t really been eating meals with the group, mostly taking meals in the office. I haven’t even laid eyes on Zara. I asked around about her and I heard good things. She’s thriving at the daycare center, and she’s been making friends. I’m trying to get the process rushed to get a teacher for the blind in the school. She needs to interact with other kids regularly. Alayasia hasn’t joined the pack yet, regardless of how much we try to push her to do so. I think she’s still toying with the idea of running from the pack, which would be a disaster. I hope we can sway her soon. And then there is Shiloh. She’s been lurking around, and it’s getting on my nerves. I have no idea why I feel so differently about her these days, b

Waiting

~Alayasia~Um…what?! Did he really just ask me that question? My throat is closing up, and my mouth is going dry automatically. My body is starting to shake, and I swear my skin feels clammy. This can’t be real life, can it? I mean, what the hell am I supposed to say? Tell him the truth. Tell him that you’re scared to tell him the truth and that he’s your mate. Before I can respond, Clover closes herself off to me, laughing along the way. I take the risk and look up. Of course, his eyes are locked on me, and I know that there’s no way that I’d be able to get out of this without answering him. I swallow, but the lump in my throat is so large that I almost choke. I close my eyes and try to center myself. The last thing I need is to go into a coughing fit in front of my fated mate. “I… I don’t know what you mean.” My voice is strained, and I wish it sounded a lot stronger. I don’t want him to know the effect he has on me. “Come on, Alayasia. I’ve barely seen you in a week, and it’s pre

Father-in-Law

~Geoffroy~I slam the phone down and rub my forehead. I swear the entire pack is incompetent, and that includes my son-in-law. Sometimes, I can’t wrap my head around the stupidity. I don’t think I’ve ever come across such an inept attempt at running a pack like I’ve seen at the Mystic Wolves Pack. I figured that once I married her off, I wouldn’t have to deal with her or them anymore. Yeah, I have them a large sum up front, and I give them money periodically, but that wasn’t supposed to extend to a ‘cash on demand’ situation. I guess it makes sense that he called me instead of her, but she isn’t going to get out of this that easily. I remember when I first saw her mother. She was on the arm of that hack, and usually, I would have left it alone. Don’t get me wrong, she was gorgeous, but taking a woman who is already bound to another is more of a headache than it’s worth. It was by accident that I learned the truth, and once I did, the decision was made. There was no way I would turn

Beta's Office

~Alayasia~I’ve been grumbling to myself nonstop this morning, not believing that I was so careless. I’ve been doing so well when it comes to avoiding Houston, but today that falls apart. I just had to leave my list in his office, didn’t I? I think, deep down, you did it on purpose. You want to see him, don’t you?Shut up, Clover! She chuckles and retreats into my mind. After our discussion yesterday, I took avoidance to a new level. How could he ask me that question? He wants me to tell him why I’m avoiding him. He shouldn’t have even noticed that I was. What am I supposed to say to him, hmm? Oh, well, I’m keeping my identity a secret, and I can’t be around you because you’re my fated mate, and I want to jump your bones. Yeah, that would go over well.I stop in front of his office door and look around. I guess I can admit that I memorized his schedule. I suppose I can admit that I know where he should be most of the time. I could justify it by saying that I need to know where to sta

Final Warning

~Shiloh~I’ve been on a rampage, but it’s been warranted. All of a sudden, Houston acts like we are nothing to each other. He won’t look at me or be around me. Since that night he turned me away, the distance between us has grown exponentially. I will say that his little toy knows how to follow directions. Yeah, I realize that the change in Houston has something to do with that human. I’m not stupid. I told her to stay away from him, and she’s been doing that. I’ve been watching her from afar, and when I can’t, I have someone watching her for me. She’s been staying out of his path, and I’m happy about that. I can’t figure out how to get him to act like he used to, though. Even with her keeping her distance, he’s too distracted. I decided to follow him today, and what do I find?I could smell her human scent before I entered the room. This packhouse has reeked of it, and it’s disgusting. Every part of me was set on fire when I saw him leaning against her, caging her between his arms.

What Now?

I huff and continue to tap the end of my pencil on the desk. My mind has been all over since I left my office. I don’t know what to do about Shiloh, but I have a feeling that she will force my hand. “You know, we are best friends and all, but if you continue tapping that pencil, I’m going to have to rip your throat out.” The pencil drops from my grip, and I look up. Tyrice has an irritated look on his face. “I’m sorry, man.” I lean back in my chair and run a hand down my face. I came straight here after the earlier incident. I told Tyrice everything that happened, but I’m still extremely bothered. I wish I could let it go, but it’s stuck. “I don’t want to be that guy. Hell, I don’t even want to be that friend, but I mean…”“I told you!” I turn to see Jakob standing in the doorway. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. It isn’t like the three of us keep anything from each other… ever. Jakob walks further into the office, closing the door behind him. “I’m definitely that friend, and I hav

Rogues

~Shiloh~I’ve been watching the bitch, but it’s amounted to a lot of nothing. She doesn’t do anything worth taking note of. She gets up with that brat of hers. Sometimes she drops her off at daycare, and at other times, someone else does. After breakfast, she goes to work for a few hours. Sometimes she works in Houston’s office, and other times, she’s in the kitchen with Lou Lou. I do love the fact that she hasn’t been near Houston since the other day. She’s boring as hell, as that’s saying a lot. Rogues at the east border!I drop the weights I had in my hand and take off. The moment I get outside, I shift, not bothering to peel my clothes off. I give control to Sybil and watch as she bounds through the woods where the threat has been reported. I could smell them before I saw them, that rotten smell that makes you want to throw up. There are four rogues, and they are already engaged in battle. We don’t get rogues often, but it does happen from time to time. I jump into the battle,

Pain

~Shiloh~It took a few hours to clean up the area where we fought. The rogue was taken to the cells, and I’m sure that Jakob and Houston will handle the interrogation. I’ve finished my reports and made sure the bodies were properly disposed of. In this situation, we burn the bodies. They don’t deserve a burial because they were trying to harm innocent people. I decide to go visit the Alpha. I got a report from the clinic, and I know that it isn’t good. I know that he’s hanging by a thread, and that hurts my heart. I don’t want the Alpha to die. I say that, but a part of me can’t help but think about how life would be if he were. Tyrice has no heirs and has no mate. If he were to die, the pack would probably go to Houston. I would end up being the Luna, and that’s a wild thought. I don’t want the Alpha to die, I swear, but I can’t help but think about the possibilities. I shake my head and try to push those thoughts away. I shouldn’t be thinking this way, especially when I’m on my w
