Chapter 1

Hi, I'm Winter. I'm a 17-year-old girl but not just any girl I'm a werewolf. My pack is the Blue Moon. I have shifted but my family doesn't know. I am the first female born alpha in over 100 hundred years. My parents always wanted a boy but instead, they got me. No one really expects a female to be an alpha. Females that are to be mated with a high rank are just supposed to look pretty and obey everything that they are told. As the years went on everything was kinda okay, I mean no one treated me horrible. On my 12th birthday, I didn't shift like most wolves. After that night things became really bad for me, my mother and father started to beat me constantly. They showed the higher-ranking families that it was okay to do horrendous things as long as they made sure that I was still alive when I came home. My pack used to be the kindest pack. But after they started to beat me I saw the truth. Nahla my beta and also my best friend became inseparable after we met. She was shunned because she wanted to become a girl. I helped her so she could be true to herself. We often talked about running away and just leaving our responsibility and getting out of the pack and finding our mates. But we couldn't afford to become rouges. Especially since our pack didn't want us learning how to fight.

My mother wakes me up at 4 am so I can get my daily beating oh goody (note the sarcasm). I get up and go to where I'm supposed to, maybe today won't be so bad. But who am I kidding, it just gets worse the older I get. No one but Nahla knows that I have shifted and have a wolf. I stand and wait for my mother to come to the room of beatings, but who shows up is my father. He has never laid a hand on me so I feel something is wrong. Something is wrong, Areas says in my head. I started to back up and eventually, my back hit the wall. My father is now 2 feet away from me and I see regret in his eyes but it is gone as fast as it came.

F… fa… father is there something wrong? Where is mother? Did I do something w…..wr…..wrong. I Sutter

No... No, my dear I just want to know if you have had your wolf yet AND DON'T LIE TO ME. He says mostly calm till the end.

I look at him straight in the eyes and lie straight through my teeth.

No father I have not had my wolf yet I think it might be soon though father. I play it off as if I'm shocked that he would even bring it up.

I swear if I find out that you are lying it will be the worst day of your life got it, Winter. He spits with so much venom and hatred in his voice.

He leaves and my mother comes in. I could just see the hate and disgust on her face. After 2hrs of pain, I'm allowed to go and get ready for school. I take a shower and wash away the blood. I tell Areas not to heal me so people continue to believe when I lie about not having a wolf. I put on my skinny jeans and sweater and walk downstairs with a fake smile and greet everyone because not everyone knows what goes on with the higher-ranking families. I get on my motorcycle and drive to the school. I meet up with Nahla and we talk before school starts. The bell rings and I walk her to class. My wolf was jumping around in my head and not shutting up. Something big is about to happen, Areas repeats over and over so I eventually just put a wall up so she doesn't give me a headache.

I sit in my class thinking and not paying attention to what the teacher is saying and teaching. I write in my journal pretending to take notes but drawing instead. I take a look around the class and notice how everyone is so drawn into the lesson or at least pretending to be. I sit there in silence. I smell a sweet mint with fresh pine scent so I look up and notice that a boy is waiting by the door, I have never seen him before. I watch him look into the classroom and look around. His eyes met mine and I knew that I just found my mate. I cringe in my head the one thing that I didn't want to happen just happened. He slowly opens the door and walks to the teacher. I see that the teacher looks annoyed but speaks to the boy. The boy kept glancing at me and I could tell that the teacher was slightly annoyed at the fact that he wasn't really listening to him. The teacher points towards me and the boy walk toward me and sit in the open chair next to me. I look at him closely and study his features as if it was to be the last time seeing him. I notice him go stiff and slightly look over and I quickly go back to my journal trying not to get caught by my mate. I notice all the girls starting to whisper about how cute he was and where he just moved from if he had a mate, and about how big they bet he is. I scoff at the thoughts and minds that these girls have. They will soon realize that he is mine. I smirk, but I'm not surprised that the ones that were talking were the preppy little bitches who think they can run the school and have everyone wrapped around their petty fingers. I can feel my mate's eyes on me and I try to ignore the feeling of looking up and meeting his eyes. I think I know who is looking at me so instead of looking up I pull out my phone since the bell is going to ring and put my earbuds in. I turn on my phone and go to pandora after I click my song and text Nahla

Hey new guy alert who just happens to be my mate (Winter)

Your joking right (Nahla)

As I read the message I slightly smile and giggle.

Why in the world would I joke about that but he isn't that bad looking too bad he looks like he is the stuck up type (Winter)

True that but you just have to have to give him a chance. He is your soulmate made by the moon goddess. (Nahla)

Listen, do you honestly think he will want me after he finds out how broken I am. Plus isn't he from the pack across the land? (Winter)

Just give it time. I'm sure he already loves you like I said he is your soulmate. (Nahla)

Okay, you're right I will be more patient. Meet me in the gym since we have that class next. I just hope that "he" isn't there. I can't deal with any more whispers about how "cute or how big he is". It makes me want to rip out every female here. (Winter)

As I walk to the gym I hear girls giggling and see them pointing out of the corner of my eye. I roll my eyes and walk forward. Can these girls get any more annoying? I think to myself just as I thought that the head of the bitches stopped me right in front of the gym.

Can I help you with something Tara? I asked with so much sarcasm just rolling off my tongue.

Just wanted to make sure that you know that yummy new guy Jake is mine. Tara said with a high-pitched voice as she tried to scare me like every other day.

Yes, I get it yours and your possy. Can I go now? Unlike you, I have more things to do than threaten people and waste their time. I smile and shove my way through the girls. Oh and if you ever stop me again to just say you have a claim on someone just know that you won't like what happens next.

I walk into the gym and head over to the locker room to change and make sure all my scars are covered. After I changed I walked out and walked towards Nahla.

I swear to god the girls are asking to get their petty little asses kicked, especially Tara. I take a deep breath and sit down waiting for Nahla to say something and when she doesn't I soon realize that she is looking at a guy. He looks new and kinda like the new boy. I tap Nahla's shoulder and she turns and looks at me.

Umm? What did you say? I wasn't paying attention, sorry. Do you know who that guy is? I mean not that I care or anything you know. Nahla slightly blushes and looks toward the ground quickly avoiding eye contact.

I think that he is the new kid's brother. You should go talk to him. He might be the one for you. I smile and push Nahla in the new kid's direction.

I watch her walk up to the new boy and I glance off at the doors as someone walks in. Oh great, he is in this class to wonder if I will get threatened again. I roll my eyes and get lined up on the track. I wait for the coach to tell us what to do. I stretched and I just as I was hoping he showed up (note the sarcasm). He smiles at me and I look away trying to ignore the feeling in my heart. I get ready to take off from the starting line of the track. I see my best friend coming to stand next to me.

Wanna race? I know that it will help with the situation. She speaks so low that only I can hear her.

I nod my head. Let's do it.

We each take a line-up and as soon as the coach says go I let her get a head start mostly so I can watch my mate. I shake my head and take off easily passing everyone except my mate and that pissed me off more so I push harder and I take the lead. I can hear him gasp as if no one has ever passed him.

I turn around,

Mate. I smirk and turn back around. I take off not caring about what is to happen next.

After the gym I get dressed, I walk out and who I see is the one and only my mate. He wants us!!!!! I roll my eyes.

Can I help you mate? I ask in a fake annoyed tone.

Yes, you can. I want to talk to you meet me after school in the back. Do you understand little mate? He asked in a "dominating tone".

I remember kicking your ass while running and don't forget just because I'm little doesn't mean I won't kick your ass again. I smirk. Oh and never tell me what to do again. Plus once you find out the truth I doubt you want me so goodbye. I turn around and fight every tear I have threatened to come out and make me turn around, turn to just run into his arms and have him tell me he wants me, but I know how much he will leave me because who wants to be with someone that has been beaten and is broken.

I finish school and walk to my bike and hop on. I need to run, I can feel my wolf on edge from what happened earlier, but there is something else that I can feel in my bones. I don't go home right away. Instead, I got to no man's land and shifted so I can go for a run. I feel like someone is watching me but I can't tell because they have masked their scent. I slowly creep my way in the direction that I feel is being watched. I hide in the bushes as I look through them. I see I black wolf who is the same size as me, I look closely and something inside me tells me to walk towards it. I kept my guard up as I walked towards the wolf. Nobody knows that I come out here and it's not from my pack so who is it? I look into the bush and we lock eyes. No, this can't be happening right now. I think to myself so I take off. I feel my mate chase after me and I know that I shouldn't run, but what else is there to do?

Jake Prov

When I wake up I have Gemini jumping in my head. I push him aside and get ready for my new school since my pack the blood moon and the blue moon pack are joining. I'm going to a new school. As soon as I get into the school I smell the greatest smell in my interlife it was like cramel with a hint of coffee. I ignore the feeling and walk to my class. The more I walk the stronger the smell gets. I try to ignore it, but the smell is right in the class I need to be in. Before I open the door I glance in the window. I look right at this girl. She has jet black hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin. I can sense she is a werewolf. I just can't tell if she has turned or not. But I can tell she is hiding something from her pack. I see her look at me and I know that she can feel the mate bond. She quickly looks back to her notebook. I feel disappointed but I open the door to my class anyway. I walk up to the teacher and speak to him. I can tell he is annoyed but I didn't care. I kept glancing at my mate. I can feel her staring at me even when I'm not looking at her. I can hear the teacher say to sit next to a girl named Winter, just hearing her name made my body feel warm. I heard all the girls gossiping about me having a girlfriend/mate, how big I was, Not like they would ever know that is for my mate, where I was from I guess their pack alpha didn't tell them. Maybe that pack isn't as great as everyone thought they were. I looked up to see my mate staring shocked at the teacher and as soon as I got to sit down she checked me out. I see her shake her head, probably thinking the worst of me. I can't wait to tell my twin and my brother that I found our mate. I do hope soon my brother will find his. I have great feelings about today. I watch my mate intently. I try to focus on what the teacher is saying but I can't, I just want to grab her and look at her in my and my twin room and never let her leave till we know everything about her. I see her grab out her phone and put her earbuds in, I'm tempted to grab her and pull her away from my eyes but I don't. I watched her text, someone, after she had found her song. I saw her smile and that made me jealous that I wasn't the one to do that. I kept my cool and watched her walk out of the class as soon as the bell rang. I just wanted to run after her but I thought that maybe she just needed time to process that her mate was here right in front of her.

I headed to the gym, I changed into my gym clothes after talking to my brother. He was talking about smelling mint chocolate mixed with banana.

Bro go get you, man. I say as if it were that easy

But what if he doesn't want me because I'm gay bro. Carson says with worry laced in his voice

I somehow doubt it, trust me I found my mate in the first hour and I still haven't said two words to her mostly because I don't think she wants me. I speak in a distant tone laced with confusion.

I watch him grimace with understanding to my distress. Let's just finish the day, yeah? You go talk to your mate after that. I walk outside not paying attention to what my brother was doing. I see my mate on the track getting ready. I walk up and smile at her. She just rolled her eyes and got ready to run. As soon as the coach said for us to run, I watched her stay behind to give someone a head start. I take off, I can hear her huff, and then take off. I can hear her get frustrated and push herself harder just to go past me. I slowed down just a little bit to let her pass but instead, she slowed down right next to me.

Mate. She says and then turns and takes off. I stare at her as she runs and inhales her scent. Just when I got back a girl came up to me and started flirting with me. I felt so disgusted and repulsed by her that I growled from irritation. She quickly scampered away, I rolled my eyes and walked away. I quickly changed from my gym to my regular clothes and waited outside the gym doors. I smell her before I see her.

Can I help you mate? She asked in a fake annoyed tone

Yes, you can. I want to talk to you meet me after school in the back. Do you understand little mate? I speak with a dominating tone. So she knows I'm not playing.

I remember kicking your ass while running and don't forget just because I'm little doesn't mean I won't kick your ass again. She smirks. Oh and never tell me what to do again. Plus once you find out the truth I doubt you want me so goodbye. She walks away taking a part of me with her without her realizing it.

I wait after school till I see her go straight to her bike, I see her take off. I notice that she isn't heading to her pack land or mine. I get worried and follow her. I notice that she is heading to no man's land so I stay close and mask my scent. I watch her turn into a beautiful white wolf with a silver mark around her eye, kinda like a half-moon. Watching her run and jumping around was so fascinating. I was hoping to join her, but she suddenly just stops and looks in my direction like she can sense I'm near. That should be impossible for her to sense me. I start to move and I see her turn and slowly walk towards me but as she keeps her guard up. I sense that there was something different about her earlier but now I feel it in my bones. I feel like I should protect but also bow to her. As she comes toward the bush our eyes lock. She looked so confused and happy, but she also looked scared and angry then next thing I know she took off in the other direction so I chased after her. I could sense that she was being hesitant to stop. I slowly slowed down to see if I could get her to calm down and talk to me. Suddenly there was a third wolf, I could smell them before they even came into view. I could see my mate start to cower. I watched her hide in the snow. The only thing that could be seen was the half-moon above her eye. She quickly changes into human form as the wolf was wandering around.

Winter Prov

I didn't know what to think, I started to slow down until I sensed someone from my pack was coming so I sped up. I hid in the snow, I realized that the grey spot around would be seen so I quickly changed to human form and got dressed and climbed up a tree and hid my scent. I could sense my mate's confusion though. I felt him close by but I was trying to stay focused on the fact that someone from my pack was here. I was so scared that I could sense or see myself that I didn't realize how high I climbed up. Great just great. I'm afraid of heights and I just had to climb all the way up here just my luck. I hope that they leave soon because I need to get home to do my work. I slowly start to feel more relaxed. I felt the sparks fly across my body. I didn't even realize that my mate came up after me. I was so focused on the person from my pack to even pay attention to what was going on behind me. I turned my head slightly to find that our lips were mere inches apart from each other. I felt his breath. His smell was intoxicating. I never felt like this before. I just want to kiss him and have him take me far away from my pack. I looked at him while his eyes roamed over my body. They stopped on my stomach and he let out a low growl. I could tell that his wolf was close to the surface. I didn't realize that my shirt had ridden up while I was climbing and I figured out that he saw all the scars on my body I quickly covered and looked down. I could feel him sniff me trying to calm his wolf.

Now you know I'm ready for the rejection. I said looking down so he couldn't see the tears that are falling from my eyes. I prayed to the moon goddess that my voice didn't break.

I Jake of the blood moon pack could never reject you, little mate. He said with so much hurt in his voice like I just broke him.

I just nod my head. I went to step back to give us some distance. My foot slipped before I could even process what was happening, Jake had me in my arms. I blush at how close we were.

Come home with me. Jake said.

I looked at him with a confused look and shook my head. I can't my family... Nahla was already shunned I can't leave her here to fend for herself plus where she is trans. Then they will bully her and I won't let that happen to my beta. I look at him with pleading eyes but what came out next is what shocked me the most.

Jake Prov

The whole time she was talking I could feel my wolf wanting to just mark her but I reminded him that we have to wait for my brother. I heard her say her friend was trans and I knew right away that my little brother's mate was my mate's best friend. What came out of my mouth next surprised her.

Text her and tell her to meet you at the pack border but not to tell anyone where she is going. And that you will explain everything when you see her there right now we need to get to my pack because I and my twin need you now. I say the last part husky and low in her ear. I could see the way her body shivered to my voice and to what I said. The desire in her eyes didn't go unnoticed by me. I smirked and started to climb down but I noticed that my mate stayed put.

I'm scared of heights. She blushes as she spoke.

I laugh and grab her as she wraps herself around me and not letting go as her shirt starts to rise I can see more scares on her body. I keep calm and mind-link my twin Justin to tell him that I'm bringing our mate and our little brothers but not to tell him. I look back and see that my little mate is texting I'm hoping it's her friend. When we reach the ground she quickly let go but I keep my arms wrapped around her so she couldn't move. I looked down to see her face turning redder than I thought was humanly possible. I chuckle at the sight and pick her up. She doesn't fight me once. I could feel her body relax into mine. I can't wait for my brother to see her. I can feel her breathing starting to slow down so I look down and notice that she has fallen asleep. I walk to her pack's border and wait for her friend to come. I see a figure running towards me and my mate I shake her and she slowly starts to stir.

Just five more minutes, please. Winter mumbles into my chest

Sweetie, I think your friend is here. I rub her back

Fine put me down then. Winter sighs

I chuckle and put her down already wanting to pick her up again. I love how strong she is and how much she is going to be a great luna. Anyone who doesn't like her can leave. Without her, me and my twin can never be able to lead the pack how it should be led.

Chapter 2

Winter Prov

I look over at my mate and notice he is lost in space. He is such a dork, but a great mate. I wonder what his brother will be like. I hope that he is like his brother. I was so lost in thought that when Nahla came up and hugged me I punched her.

Oh my god, are you okay I'm so so sorry. You scared the shit out of me. I say with sincerity in my voice

I can't believe that you just punched me in the face. I will say that you do pack a punch though. Nahla starts laughing.

My little mate can defend herself very well. My brother will be so happy to hear that our little sassy but I'm sure they will still clash since both of them are strong-headed. Jake said while laughing.

As we cross my pack's border I hear everyone one last time. I mind-linked my pack which no one but Nahla knew I could do and said I lied then grabbed my best friend's hand and my mates and we ran off. Nodding at Nahla now that we are finally free. I can feel my soul be free and Aeres howl from the freedom that we no longer have to hide and cower down. The freedom that we get to have because my mate pushed me. He showed me that I should have gotten tired of hiding a long time ago and stood up for myself. As we are walking I can feel eyes watching the three of us, I pull at my mate's hand and look at him hoping that he can understand what I'm trying to say. He just nods as if he understands like he could feel it too. We continued to walk and pretend that everything was normal. I turned to look at Nahla to see if she was okay, I noticed that she was zoning in and out. I started to worry so I wrapped my arms around her and suddenly she jerked out of whatever she was going through and took off still running towards my mate's pack. We take off after her being able to catch up to her easier seeing how we were both alpha's children. I can hear a twig snap behind me and I got ready to fight if I needed to. I look over to see my mate smirk at whatever is in the distance. I slightly relaxed, noticing that my mate wasn't worried but still paying attention to what was ahead. A smell hits my nose, orange and forest smell. I realized that it was Jake's twin, my other mate. He came from the bush in just basketball shorts with a short female right behind him. I can see the smirk he has on his face. I want to run and kill the bitch that was near my mate. Jake sensed that I was fighting my wolf from taking over and ripping the girl away from what is mine. I make eye contact with the bitch that is behind my mate. She smirks and wraps her petty little arms around my mate's arm. He looks down and rolls his eyes. I could feel Jake come over and wrap his arms around to help calm me down.

Breathe he knows who you are. Jake whispers and wraps his arms tightly around me and pulls me closer.

Then why in the world is he letting that thing hang on him?!. I spit with so much venom coming from her mouth.

Jake could only chuckle and slowly shake his head at my little jealousy act that I just displayed.

Justin Pov

As I walk through the forest my brother mind linked me telling me that he and our mate and our brother's mate are about to pass the pack border. I mind-linked him and told him that I understood and I would be at the packhouse shorty to come to see them. I was with my childhood best friend Lizzy. We were training and doing obstacles when Jake interrupted so I pronounced that we were done for the day. Lizzy pouted but nodded and went ahead and started to clean up and put things where they go seeing as we have a training course out in the middle of the forest we also put building out there for some of the equipment. Also, those who just started training if there was to be a battle that is where they would go especially if me or my brother did not deem them ready to fight. With the way our father´s father was only males could fight and pups would start training as soon as their first shift and that was at the age of 12. Our father was tired of how our grandfather ran things so he challenged him for the alpha title and one. The battle was gruesome but it could only end one way because neither one was willing to stand down from the other. Our father won but only by killing his father. As he was changing things around the pack there was a rogue attack on a neighboring back so he went to help the neighboring back. But long behold he found his mate after the battle it was the beta daughter. Years passed by, me and my brother were born not long after our baby brother was born. Only being two years older than our little brother we felt as if it was our duty to protect him. Even when he came out as gay. We were all excited from hearing the news the females however were more or less disappointed and would often still try to change his mind but failed miserably.

After we finished cleaning up we started to head back to the packhouse when I couldn´t help but smell the most amazing sent. It smelt like caramel with a hint of coffee the ironic thing is those are my favorite things and well who smells like that but I´m going to assume it's my mate. As we get to the clearing I can see my brother and our short mate standing next to him. Her gaze was on me only for a second but went straight to Lizzy and glared at me and then I realized that jake had told her nothing about me or our childhood best friend. I could feel Lizzy put her hands on me and I keep a straight face being unfazed she does this with every female even though she is lesbian she likes to torment them. If it wasn´t for jake I'm pretty sure there would have been a fight going on right now. I hear him tell her that I know that she is my mate. Still not breaking contact with Lizzy and Jake I can hear the venom lacing through the words but not being able to hear it. Jake only chuckles and shakes his head. I look at Lizzy and give the look pleading for her to let go of me. She nods and releases her grip from me. I walk over toward my mate and jake, but before I could even get a word in my little brother comes running out with a determination on his face as he is looking for his mate. I'm going to assume it was the person that came along with her. I Look back to only see her smile at Carson's jealousy running through my veins as I see the smile wanting that smile to be directed towards me. I sigh as my attention goes back to Carson as he is wrapping some girl into his arms. I look at jake only to see him smiling as well. I cleared my throat and all eyes fell on me,

¨Well, this is great and all but 1. Carson, I thought you were gay 2. little mate you seem to be aflawly jealous.¨ I spoke with a smirk. I could see her blushes and hide behind Jake which only made me annoyed so I let out a low growl in a warning for her to stop she did but what happened after shocked me.

¨Never tell me what I can and can´t do I'm your equal not one of your things that will bow down to me. Oh, and growling at me because I was going behind your brother is petty. so how bout you alpha up and be a big boy, not a child. it's not my fault that he is the one I met first so stop acting like a jealous alpha and try to get to know me.¨ Winter only smirks and heads to where Carson and his mate are and hugs his mate then him I suddenly felt a wave of guilt consume me.

OMG, that was so hot. Boy, you better not mess this because I will step in and try to get her. She is so feisty and shy all at once it's the perfect combination. Lizzy spoke about winter. the words she spoke were true about my little mate but also made me want to hurt her she should not be talking about my mate that way ever I let at a low warning growl. Warning her to watch what she is to say next.

Chapter 3

Winters Prov

I follow Carson and Nahla inside the packhouse does let. Leaving my mates to stand there and do whatever they need to do. I suddenly felt guilty about the thing I said to Justin. But at the same time, he kinda deserved it. Just because he is some big bad alpha does not give him any right to growl at me and command me to stop. Fighting the urge to turn around and run back and apologize but instead, I keep walking and fight the urge. He may be my mate. But he will learn I'm not going to bow down anymore. Making a vow now to myself I refuse to be told what to do and I will never cower down in fear ever no matter what is to happen.

Unknown Prov

So she does have a wolf after all. She is the firstborn female alpha after a very long time I wonder if she even knows what she can do, how much power she has. But at last, it won't be long before she is dead and that power will be mine. I get a call and answer it.

¨Speak¨

¨alpha I have some news from your inside man¨

¨well spit it out I don´t have all day ¨

¨It seems as though she is mated to the twins of the Blood moon pack. Whatever the next step is if you don´t mind me saying Alpha you should be careful and not do anything that could lead them to you or this pack. I already know how you feel about that...¨

¨DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TELL ME HOW TO DO THINGS YOU ARE BELOW ME REMEMBER THAT.¨ Trying to keep my wolf at bay before I take out the someone anyone because i coundnt take out the one who help me the most in this plan.

¨Right of course alpha please forgive me¨

¨ Just go do your job and watch her¨ they hang the phone

Maybe I should have chosen someone else to watch her but at the same time, that little girl has yet to suspect anything so they are doing their job right at least.

Jake's Prov

I glare at my brother after winter walked away

¨Bro what the fuck is wrong with you? Did you honestly think that you could growl at her and command her to stop. She has been through hell and back and you think that she will just do what you tell her. God before you make a complete ass of yourself go apologize for being an ass.¨ I speak trying to make sure he does not ruin this for us.

¨She is the one that wanted to go behind you so it is not my fault that I got jealous if anything you should be more understanding towards me and not be taking her side did you hear what so fucking said to me. Because you know I'm always in the wrong right. She may be our mate and the luna of this pack but she can still fucking learn respect so just get over it. I'm not going to apologize for how me and Ryker reacted because it is completely normal for us to act like that.¨ Justin sighed and rolled his eyes.

¨Fine whatever but when she starts ignoring you do not blame me for your stupidity¨ I shake my head and walk away.

I walk to the packhouse following the smell of my mate only to find her in the kitchen eating. I shake my head and chuckle. Love the view of her being comfortable enough to just eat whatever she wanted. This is her home now to no matter what anyone says. She has now become a part of my life and I will do anything to protect her. I hear a chuckle come up behind me. I turn my head and see Lizzy, she walks up to winter and I notice winter stiffen and put on a hard face as Lizzy approaches her.

¨hey Ummm I just wanted to say sorry about earlier with Justin I've always done that when any female comes around him. I do it to make sure that no female that isn't his mate doesn't come near him. I didn't know that you are his mate. Plus I'm lesbian so you are more my type if anything if I'm being completely honest with you. You the shy at first but inside a real feisty woman.¨ Lizzy speaking as if I'm not even in the room as I notice my mate's face turn from shock to gratitude to her blushing. I let out a low growl of warning and she just smirks. ¨Oh I'm sorry alpha I didn't see you there. Must have been winter's beauty that distracted me.¨

¨well in that case I forgive you thank you for keeping unwanted females off of what is mine. I'm here now so I don't know if you'll have to anymore.¨ winter spoke with so much authority in her voice that even I wanted to bow down and I'm an alpha. I'll have to go into the library for alphas and do some research about this because none of the alphas that have been mated to a high ranked has ever spoken of their mate having this much power radiate off of them before.

Winters prov

I watched Nahla walk away. I wanted to follow her and see what she has been up to lately. I wonder if she thinks I'm dumb or something. Always getting mystery calls at random times always in a rush to get away from me if her phone is to go off. I roll my eyes and walk up to Jake.

¨so what did you and Justin talk about when I left seemed pretty heated.¨ I asked

¨Oh nothing too important just me telling him not to be an ass and that he needs to understand that you aren't going to listen to him¨ Jake spoke in his usual calm but cocky tone. I have a feeling that he knows Justin will give in and just apologize to me for being a complete ass and trying to command me to do what he wants. But then again we will see because we both could be wrong no one can ever say what Justin is thinking or how he is going to react to things I mean I just met him and I already can tell he is dominating in every way possible which is scary but also very sexy. He SOOOOOOOOO yummy. Areas spoke with lust filling her voice. I roll my eyes and shake my head very needy and we just met these guys. What else could you ask when you meet you mates right. Just as i finished talking to my wolf justin comes strutting in acting like nothing is wrong. Justin walks in after we just got done and goes to the fridge and pulls out a box of pizza.

Justin Prov

I walk into the kitchen and go into the fridge and grab the box of pizza that was there from last night I see my mate along with Jake and Carson but I did not see Carson's mate any where i gave Carson a questioning looking asking where his mate is and he just shrugging. I nodded my head in understanding and went ahead and grabbed a plate and put a couple slices of pizza and put them in the microwave for a 30 seconds. I could feel a pair of eyes watching me and my movement. I turned around and saw my little mate staring at me with curiosity and something else but I could always be wrong. Jake clears his throat and our little mate turns and looks at him i could since she was up to something and it annoyed me that I know she is doing it to torment me and it working and it pissing me off i should be the one in control here not her but then again she is my mate and Ryker is a love sick puppy when it comes to her.

CHAPTER 4

Jake Prov

I watch as Justin and Winter stare at each other i can sense some sort of tension in between them. I cleared my throat and both of them turn their heads and looked at me from the corner of my eye i could see Winter smirk and come up in front of me and wrap her arms around my neck. I looked down to see a devilish glint in her eyes and i smirk knowing what she has plans to do. I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist.

¨Can you take me to our room and I am tired and we have many things to discuss tomorrow all three of us.¨winter speaks with sleep lacing her voice and i looked up to see Justin just staring at her and his eyes moving down her body lingering on every curve her body has and finally landing on her ass and not leaving I could see his eyes darkening from lust.

¨Of course little mate I will take you to our room for you to sleep and give you some clothes. I will get you my shirt and Justin's shorts or boxers whatever you prefer when we get there.¨ I spoke in a gentle tone while looking at Justin and seeing him with a look of sadness and regret with the things that he had said to winter. I could felt winters breathing slow down so i knew she fell asleep.

¨Justin when she wakes up just ask to talk to her she is a level headed person she may have been through hell but all you have to do is explain and let her tell you her story I do not even know the whole thing she want even tell me. So you and me mostly you though needs to be patient with her. When we were in a tree i could see scars on her body and some look fresh like they just happened while others look like they were years old. No matter what she is to tell us. ¨I spoke quietly so i wont wake up winter while she was sleeping peacefully. Looking straight at Justin and him just nodding not wanting to wake her either.

I walk with winter in my arms up the stairs to our room with Justin on my tail. Now many people tend to find it weird that we sleep in the same room and share a bed but in reality it has always been like that we always like sharing. We knew that we would have the same mate whether it was we chose her our self or the moon goddess chose her for us. Im so glad that the moon goddess has chosen her for us. She is prefect and i can tell there is more to her then what she wants us to see. We get to the bedroom, i open the door and head in Justin right behind me come in and close the door i lay Winter in the middle of the king size bed and cover her up so she is underneath the covers i lay on the right side and Justin lays on the left side. I slowly feel my self drift to sleep when. I look at my mate and feel at peace, I finally let sleep consume me.

Justin Prov

After we made it to the bedroom and me and my brother lay down next to winter, I look up to the ceiling and hope that i did not just ruin my only chance with my mate. I have Decided that when my mate is to wake up i will talk to her and apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness. I would do anything for this girl even though we just met and the first interaction was us fighting. I already know that i would never change a thing about her. No matter what she has been through or who she is. She is mine and I will hurt whoever tries to hurt her or take her away from me. I look over to see that my brother has fallen asleep with a smile and he looked more relaxed then he has in so long. He never knew when to stop worrying especially when it came to me and Carson. No matter how many times i told him i would be fine he just would not stop.

Nothing could ever change my brother he may seem sweet and innocent but I know for a fact on how much of a lie that is. He is so controlling in everything. Everyone thinks that i am the bad one between us but that is because he always fakes how he acts in front of people even with our parents and little brother.

Unknown Prov

Soon Winter we will be together and your mates will not be able to protect you because in reality you will do anything if it make all the suffering go away for the ones you love. No matter how much you think you can hide who you really are. We both know that your a little girl trying not to show how broken and scared she really is. Scared that her own mates will see how worthless you really are. That you are weak and dumb that is why you will never be strong and will always be easy to deceive.

Chapter 5

Winters Prov

I wake up having to pee really bad I try to move to get up and go pee but I can not move it's like I'm trapped. Laying on my stomach I turn to see Justin looking at me with those forest eyes. I looked down not wanting to stare at him for too long let me tell you the worst mistake while I was blushing like a mad man my wolf was purring FREAKING purring like get a grip, will you?

¨Ummmm hi..... Do you think you can possibly help me I have to pee really freaking bad.¨ I plead with Justin He just chuckles and lifts Jake's arm off of me so I can be free. I quickly crawl off the bed and run to what I was hoping was the bathroom and I was right. I did my business and walked back out and asked Justin if he had any clothes I could borrow since I do not have any clean clothes at the moment he got up and opened his drawer and pulled out a black short sleeve shirt and black boxers and handed them to me.

¨Th..thank you¨ I say timidly. not because I was scared but because we have yet to talk and i was worried that he was mad at me. Yet he did not seem to be mad or upset with me at the slightest

¨wait ummm winter do you think after you change we could talk¨ Justin looks down at the ground and rubs his hand against the back of his neck.

¨sure I would love to. Just give me a minute please¨ I walk back into the bathroom and quickly change into the clothes he gave me I look down and see that the shirt covers most of my scars which I'm grateful for. I just hope he won't notice them.

I walk out of the bathroom and look around for Justin. I see that there is a balcony door that is slightly open and walk over there. I pull the door open more and look down at the balcony and notice a note. I bend down to pick it up and I notice my name is on the front of it. I sit down and open the letter and pull out the note,

Dear Love

Do not be scared at all you may not know me but I know you quite well. In fact, I know that you had to hide your wolf from your pack from fear. I know that you found your mates and are scared to tell them the truth about you. But my dear love you will soon have to choose it will either be you or them and your new pack. I will not expect you to hide this from your mates but you can always prove me wrong. For you see I only want what is best for our kind and we together would make that happen. You see you are a special first-born alpha female in such a very long time. My father would tell me stories about the war that happened and the killing that happened because of those who were selfish and wanted the power you possess but I do not believe that you have for you have not mated nor been marked yet. Talk soon my love

Your future.XOXO

I don't know what to do I mean do i tell them but i just got them and i don't want that to be their primary focus. I put the note in my bra and walk back in i see Justin walk in with some food. I look over at the bed and notice that Jake is no longer in the bed nor the room. i wonder if Justin told a Jake to leave so we could talk alone. I smiled at the thought and consideration that he had.

"So what are we going to talk about" i rocked on my heel with my hands behind my back.

"we need to talk about what happened yesterday" he looks me in the eyes and his eyes slowly trail down my body and stopped on my thighs. I look down and notice that some of my scars are showing i look back up and notice he is starting at me intently i look every where but at him.

"winter what are those" point at my legs i could here the strain in his voice like he is fighting with his wolf to stay in control. I walk up to him and put my arms around his waist.

"it's okay just breathe and look at me in the eyes. Focus on my voice" I look up and watch him close his eyes he leans his head put in the crook of my neck and inhales my sent. I whimper and try to cover with it with a cough. He chuckled and sighed.

"okay now we will get to those later first lets talk about the little indecent that happened when we first met yeah?" He spoke with caution and looked into my eyes never straying from them. I just nod and let go of him. Headed to the bed and sat down going underneath the covers so Justin wouldn't see any more scars afraid that if he did he would see me as weak and unworthy to be his mate and his luna.

Jake's Prov

I'm waiting for a loud bang from upstairs in the bedroom. Justin had woken me up from my beauty sleep. I grumbled and through clothes on and went downstairs and left them alone. I was hesitant at first but he promised me that he wouldn't do anything to cause a fight. I pulled out a bowl and cereal and the gallon of milk. I hear a weird sound outside so i walk outside and see Nahla climbing down from the balcony that is attached to my bedroom that my brother and mate is in. I stay hidden from Nahla and follow her as she walks into the woods. What was she doing up there is my only question I will have to ask those two later and see if they saw or heard anything. i follow Nahla but stay a good distance away so she can't sense that she is being followed. She stops at the end of the boarder and waits for someone to show up. I climb in a tree thanks to all the training i have been doing I'm able to climb with out making sound and squat on a thick branch and be hidden and still be able to see you she is meeting with. After at least 20 mins of waiting someone finally shows up. I can't see the persons face. They are wearing a mask. I could have sworn I've seen it somewhere but where. I'm to far away to hear what they are saying. I can tell that the person Nahla is talking to is a higher ranking then her. It's might be an alpha. I can see the way Nahla's body tenses at the figure anytime the figure is to make a move towards her. I'm going to have to talk to winter about this and Justin. I don't know how well she will take this but it has to be done. I need to know if she has noticed anything strange in Nahla's behavior at all these past days or anything.

Finally after an hour and half the person leaves and Nahla turns around I could see the determination in her eyes to fight or do whatever she was told. But there wasn't just determination there was also a slight look of fear. I just hope whatever was to go down she might tell someone and not hide the truth. I know that it will crush Winter more then ever if anything. The thought of her reminded me of Justin and her alone in our bedroom but I couldn't leave this tree without being spotted by Nahla. I had to wait just a bit longer before i got down just enough that she won't notice me.

Chapter 6

Winters Prov.

As i sit on the bed with the blankets covering my legs so nothing else can be seen that's not supposed to. I look at Justin to speak first not knowing what he was going to say. All i knew was i wasn't going to be the one to speak first nor apologize first. Even though i have always been a cowered that did what everyone one else asked me to do in fear i would be punished. I can't let myself think of that right now I'm safe with Jake and Justin and i have this new pack even though i don't know everyone yet i doubt most of them would let anything happen to their future luna and their alpha's mate right? Ughh i wish my brain would just shut off sometimes. It would be so much easier, Before my brain could go on a rampage Justin called my name and i looked straight into his eyes. Fear that I would eye rape my mate if I didn't.

"Listen... I just wanted to say that im sorry for trying to use my status and command you to do what i wanted you to do. It was not right at all and it will never happen again you have my word on it. And even though we just met and you probably don't trust me especially after what happened between I just wanted to tell you that I will forever have your back and you can talk to me whenever and I want you to not reject us even though i was a complete ass I will do everything to prove that I will be better I promise my little mate." Justin tone was sincere and he sounded like a puppy who just got caught with his tail in between his legs.

"I forgive you. And i would never reject you no matter what. I have dreamt about have a mate for so long and now I have two there is nothing more i could ask for. And im sorry for snapping at you. I could have deferentially handled that so much differently. But all my life I've had to be the good girl and never being able to speak my mind or else..." I drift off from what I was saying and looked down and played with my fingers. "I'm maybe we can talk about this another time. Oh and i found this on the balcony and i didn't know if i was going to show you or not but before i show you i need you to promise me something." I plead with him

"I promise whatever it is" Justin spoke with concern in his voice and if it wasn't for what i was about to show him i would have thought it to be cute.

"you ave to promise that i can still roam and run whenever i want. Oh and i get to have training like everyone else." I spoke with a plead and commanding tone with the little confidence I had i used it to my advantage.

"Deal, now will you just show me what you need to show me please you are killing me right now" Justin had so much emotion coming from his voice that i couldn't help but smile at him.

I pulled the note out of my bra and handed it to him slowly. I was scared to know what his reaction was going to be. But he looked more calm then i thought he would be. Quite confusing if you ask me. I reached up and touched his arm, his eyes went straight to mine I could tell something major was about to happen. He pushed me back onto the bed and hovered over my body.

"Now Jake and I just got you and someone is already trying to take you that's not very fair is it little mate" He had dominating eyes it was hard to look away and his voice full of authority. I knew that what he is saying meant to be rude or anything. I shake my head and bit my bottom lip, he groans.

"Now listen here little mate i suggest if you don't want anything to happen right now you stop biting that lip of yours do you understand me?" Justin spoke with such a dominating tone that all I could do was nod my head. I let go of my lip but i could feel the wetness down below. I never thought i could ever feel so hot by anyone.

Justin Prov.

After I read that fucking letter I wanted to rip this fucker apart. They think they can have whats mine. Then the have another thing coming to them. I felt winter touch my arm I pinned her without even thinking about. I spoke with an intention to remind her that she was mine.

"Now Jake and I just got you and someone is already trying to take you that's not very fair is it little mate?" I watched her bit her lip. God if only this girl knew what she was doing to me right now.

"Now listen here little mate i suggest if you don't want anything to happen right now you stop biting that lip of yours do you understand me?" I couldn't take it she was so innocent but such a tease all at the same time. I could smell her arousal lets just say after this i think im going to need a cold shower. I got off of her and grabbed her a different pair of Jake's boxers and throw them to her.

"You might want to go shower and change little mate." She blushed and nodded and quickly ran to the bathroom. Her cheeks red from embarrassment. " Oh and little mate it is only matter of time I can promise you that because once we start we aren't going to stop me and Jake have a lot of tension from over the years." she just blushes and closes the door. I could hear the water turn on and a gasp. I'm going to assume that she is taking a cold shower.

Winter Prov.

After my little encounter with Justin I took a cold shower. The ache that I felt in between my legs slowly disappearing from the coldness from the shower. After 20 mins of being in the shower i get out and dry off. Putting on my mate's clothes, I walk out of the bathroom and see that both Jake and Justin sitting on the bed they looked like they were talking about something before I came out of the bathroom. Both of their eyes went ranked down my body and stopped. Suddenly feeling self conscious about myself I pull down my shirt and rock on my feet not looking at them. I focus on the ground as if it was the most interesting in the whole room.

"I think we should talk about a few things" Jake was the first to break the silence in the room. only nodding my head I slowly walk over to them and stand in front of them unwilling to move. I could feel their eyes on me while I stood so ever still in front of them.

"So we can talk about those scars that me and Jake have both seen, The note you received or what Jake saw while we were talking before you had to jump in a shower." I could hear the smirk on the end of Justin's voice at the end of his sentence. I only curled up into the bed and covered my legs.

" Okay well lets start with what Jake saw while we were talking and getting things fixed with us" I smile slightly and looked between my mates before my eyes stayed focused on Jake.

"Well while I was getting food and you guys talk I heard a weird sound happening outside so I stop getting food and went out said." He pause like he was trying to figure out how to say what was next because he made it seem like it was going to bug me. The way his eyes held regret for what he was about to tell me. After he took a deep breath he continued to speak. "I saw Nahla climbing down from the balcony that is attached to our room. She started to head into the woods for a good distance like she didn't want anyone to know what was happening nor she didn't want to be followed. I stayed a few yards away from her so she couldn't notice me and after a while she stopped at the end of the boarder and was waiting for someone. After 20 mins of sitting in a tree someone came to meet her at the boarder I don't know who the person was. How ever i could tell that Nahla was scared of the person so that met it had to be someone that was a higher rank then her which could only mean that he was an alpha. After they were done talking he left and she waited for a b it before she left it was like she was trying to bring herself together so no one would notice anything off about her."

"I'm not surprised to be honest. she has been acting strange. Now that i think about it she has been leaving anytime she gets a phone call. Its like she has been hiding something. I honesty feel like it has been going on for a while, it could always be me overthinking. Plus it didn't help that we only ever saw each other when we were at school. Other then that we went to games or spent the night at each others house which wasn't very often." I spoke with sad tone and looked down and played with my fingers.

"Hey look me at nothing was your fault whatever she is doing has to be everything for a reason right. We will figure out what she is doing and why. Shall we discuss the note now" Justin spoke with so much concern and worry that i could only thing i could do was lean over and hug him. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. I leaned back and looked at them. They had a look that reminded me of a lost puppy.

"Well now that we know that Nahla was the one that left the note. I mean that is the only logic explanation to explain how the note got onto the balcony. I didn't look down to see if there was anyone below because I was just so focused on the letter that it didn't even cross my mind. I kinda feel like i should have." I explained with sadness filling my voice from all the guilt im feeling.

"It's not your fault I would have been distracted by the note to. It could have happened to anyone." Jake tried to comfort me by reassuring me that it wasn't my fault. I let him hug me as i fought the tears that threaten to spill.

"I think we have talked about enough for now lets go find Lizzy so we can get you actual clothes till we go shopping what do you say" Justin was the first to speak after me almost about to break down. i could only nod afraid that my voice would give away what i was feeling.

After we found Lizzy she went to grab a few outfits that i could wear till me and my mates went shopping. I hugged her in gratitude I honestly didn't feel like talking to anyone. She hugged me back understand that I wasn't in the mood to talk. After I got the clothes i went back to the bedroom and change before I head back down. I need to talk to Nahla and see if she acts any different with me. I just need to make sure that she doesn't know that i know anything about her and what she has been doing. I sigh and walk out of the bedroom and to my surprise Nahla was coming up to the bedroom. I could tell that she had been crying, part of me wants to comfort her while another part wants to yell at her for lying to me. I opt out and ask if she is okay and I can tell that she shocked that I'm talking to her. It was like she expected me too know everything already and think that I hate her. I could never hate her but at this moment i could only act like everything was okay and that I'm still in the dark about everything. All the things i wish i could tell her was slowly killing me. All i could think while she was in front of me was how could she do this to me after ever thing i had done for her. After how much i stuck my neck out for her. She was supposed to be my beta the one that never went behind my back unless it was for my birthday. But I guess people change.

Chapter 7

Justin's Prov.

After winter left to go change I headed to the office me and my brother share. I started to look more into Nahla and see if I could come up with anything. I know that she is trans and my brother is her mate buts that all I know. It's is driving me insane after what felt like a short amount of time Jake comes in with Winter and she sits on the sofa that we have in the office. She looks like she is lost in thought and I was afraid to disburse her. I know that it is never good for to interrupt a female when they are thinking so i look back at my computer and try to focus on what is in front of me. I heard a slight sob and my head jerked up from my computer and look at my mate. Her face tear stained, I got up and walk over to my mate. I sat down next to her, pulling her into my chest rubbing her back. I watch my brother and sit down behind my and rub our mate's back as well. I can feel her calm down her breathing has also slowed down. All I could think about was how much Winter has been through all her life. The only person that was there for her was Nahla. But now even then her own friend is really even her friend if only I could take away her pain.

" We need to talk to Carson soon about Nahla. And see if he has noticed anything with his mate." I could only whisper not wanting to wake up our sleeping mate.

" I agree with that. I will go find him after she wakes up yeah" Jake spoke in a hushed tone.

Winter moved and placed her head on my chest then spread the rest of her body over the couch and onto Jake with her legs. She whimpered like she was having a nightmare. I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the head. She calmed down and shoved her body into the two of us. I could only chuckle at her and the way she acts. I just lean back on the couch and thought about the only time we had alone. The way she was so innocent but her body reacted so well with mine. Ryker only purred at the memory of our mate underneath us. I could feel my harden. I could feel Jake's eyes on me.

Jake's Prov.

I could smell the arousal of my brother, I looked at him and then looked down at my mate and realized that her shirt has risen up and I could slightly see the bottom of her perky rounded breast and it made me harden. My pants felt like they would burst any minute. I couldn't move because Winter's long legs showing. The short framing her ass perfectly. I groaned I felt Justin touch my shoulder. I look over at him, I could tell that he was feeling the same as me. Our mate so innocent didn't even know what she does to us just by being around us. I refused to move I didn't want her to wake up. My hand goes straight to her ass I look at Justin as I rub her ass. So perky and round she whimpered and moved her body into me and Justin. We both groaned when she moved. I knew that we would have to get her into the room. I mind link Carson telling him that he will need to look after the back for a bit and not to disturber us. I slowly got up and slide Winters legs off of me, Justin grabbed Winter and bridal carried her to the our bedroom. I knew she was awake, Her arousal could be smelt. All it did was make it harder for me to wait to have her underneath me.

Winter's Prov.

I woke up to the feeling of being carried. I didn't know where to but i could smell the arousal of my mates. I hope that when they see my scars they wont change their minds about desiring me. To be honest I have been wanting to bear their mark since I first came here and met both of them. I heard a door open and my excitement rose. I could feel the wetness slide down my thigh. Justin gently laid me down on the bed. He hovered over me leaning down to kiss me leaving me the option to close the gap if I wanted. I was nervous i have never done something this interment with anyone. I grabbed his head and pulled him foreword crash our lips together. I could hear pants falling to the ground and a shirt being tossed somewhere else in the room. Soon Justin broke our kiss and moved over so Jake could take over his hands rubbing my breast over my shirt. My back arched wanting to feel more he broke from the kiss and started to attack my neck. Groaning in my ear showing me how much I affected him. I was so lost with the lust that i was feeling I almost didn't feel Justin come up and start to rub in between my legs. A loud moan came from my mouth. He did it again this time I tried to bit my lip to stop from being so loud. Justin smacked my thigh.

"Don't ever be quite I want to hear you and how loud you we can make you is that understood little mate" Justin voice demand obedience. Jake mumbled in agreement while all i could do is whimper and nod. "Words Little one"

"yes alpha" I said breathlessly trying to speak but from all the pleasure they were giving me it was very hard to breathe let alone speak.

Jake continued to attack my neck while Justin was slowly sliding off my shorts. Only left in my underwear and shirt. I went to close my legs but the moment I tried Justin bit my thigh a large whimper fell from my mouth.

" Don't close what is ours to see." I just moaned with what he said my wetness making my underwear becoming sticky.

Jake was soon removing my shirt over my head. In one moment everything was fine then it was like everything just stopped I could no longer feel their hands on my body. Everything became still. I was becoming self conscious about myself and started to over think everything and what they were thinking till all i could hear was.

"You are so beautiful and prefect. Sweet and everything we could ask for in a mate. I...I love you" They spoke in unison. I could only blush

Before i could even get a word in their hands were back to being all over my body. Their lips running along every scar that my body showed. I whimpered and took a hand to hold from each of my mates. I could feel my underwear being down and my juices flowing down my thigh. I soon felt Justin's tongue slide against my thigh and move up into folds. I whimpered and grabbed his hair and pushes his face into my folds. He started to drag his tongue against my folds. Jake started to bit at my neck and move down soon hit the top of my breast he sucked up one bud into his mouth while his hand started to rub and pitch my other bud. All I could feel was satisfaction that they were both giving me. It was like nothing else mattered but what was happening right now. Every touch sent sparks through my body making everything more erotic. It was like a dream, everything in the world was still and it was just us. Nothing else mattered in these moments not the note Nahla my past. I wanted them to bear my mark and me bear theirs. it was like they knew my thoughts because the next thing i know they both were attacking my neck. I feel their fangs graze over the skin of my neck before their fangs penetrate my flesh. I moaned the loudest I thought was humanly possible from the pleasure that i felt. I marked Justin first earning a groan from him. I taste a metallic taste in my mouth only for a few seconds before i let go and the wound closed but my mark was still there. Then i looked over at Jake and slowly kissed him and moved down to his neck and extended my fangs and bite into his neck. He let out a low growl and i could only smile after i let go of his neck.

Unknown Pro.

Wanting to fix everything that i have messed up on I leave the my bedroom only to be stopped by my mate.

" I hope your not going to see the luna she and and the alphas are kinda busy."

"No I was only going to get a snack I'm kinda hungry do you want me to get you anything in the process babe"

"sure babe that will be fine"

I walk down stairs but I stopped when i got a phone call I'm so annoyed at this point no matter how many times i ignore this call he is just keep calling its not fair. I turned off my phone and put back into my pocket.

Chapter 8

Justin Prov.

After an amazing night with Winter and the fact that she is now baring the mark of my brother and I. And us now baring her, being able to feel each others emotion through the bond that we now share. I lay in bed for a few more minutes before i get up and go to the bathroom. I finally decide it was time to get up and head to the restroom so i can do my business. After i finished i went to go get changed and head to my office i sat down and pulled out the note that Winter had received yesterday. I looked at the note for a while. Thinking that I have seen this type of writing before. I start to think about all the alphas i have done paper work with before so i go through and look for the note that i have seen from alpha Seth. I search through the stacks of paper work till i find the note from Seth, then I look in between the two notes that i had in my hands. My body slowly started to shake from rage. I put both of the notes in my bottom draw of my desk and lock it up. I think go back to the bedroom and see that both Jake and Winter are awake. I could see the blush in Winter's cheeks when she looks at me. I couldn't help but smirk as she blushes.

No matter how bad i want to just curl up and lay down next to her but I can't because we have to talk about the note that I now came from from Seth and what is going on with Nahla.

"I think you too should get dressed and go to the office we have to talk. I think I found the person that sent the note." I spoke with authority in my voice to know that I meant business.

"Yes of course. Ummm let me just go put on the clothes" Winter could only stamper and blush. I could tell that she wasn't even thinking when she came out from underneath the duvet naked. My eyes followed her, suddenly wanting to and recreate last night with her. My cock twitched in my pants wanting to take her right now, I'm going to need a to take a cold shower soon.

"Okay well have Jake to take you to the office so I will see you guys in a few"I spoke with a strain in my voice before i turned around and walked out, only to be met with the pack slut. I push her out of my way and walk forward ignoring her. I hear a low growl come from behind me. i could only imagine that it came from my mate warning her to stay away. I then heard stomping before i turned around and was eyed up and down by my mate. She walked up to me and licked her mark that she left on me reminding me and every unmated female that I was off the market and was only hers. She went to Jake and did the same. I could hear sounds of shock or disgust coming from everyone one around the room. I only smirked and grabbed her hand, I pulled her behind me and continued to walk to the office. I could only smile at the thought of how my little mate claimed me.

"Justin... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to go off like that.... It just seeing her around you m....made me just want to remind everyone that you are mine...." Winter spoke low as she spoke she lowered her head to hide her face. I stopped walking and looked behind me only to see Jake look at our mate with love and admiration for her. The way she can become so confident and dominating towards us and how she just forgets that she is a shy girl who had to hide her true self.

"Its fine little one. You were just doing what any one of us would have done." Jake spoke in such a gentle tone. I could only smile at what Jake said "I agree little mate. Plus I love how you became so confident" I couldn't help but tease her. She only hummed in response and tugged at my hand signaling that she wanted to keep going. I started to walk forward. Winter clung to my side just following me. Jake came up next to us and took winters other hand. I could only smile at look at my little mate and my brother.

We walk into the office, I let go of her hand and headed to my desk. I soon found myself going throw my paper work. I finally got down to the letter and information that i found on the letter. I took a deep breath and looked over to see my mate sleeping on the couch and Jake looking at his computer then back down at his calculator. Only to run one of his hands through his hair in frustration. I look back at Winter and smiled sadly not wanting to ruin the still but happy moment. I took a deep breath then slowly got up and walked over to winter and slowly shook her awake. A low whimper came from her lips. I groaned this girl is going to be the death of me. I shook her again and she slowly opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes staring into my soul making my knees weak. I cleared my throat,

" We need to talk all three of us and I know its not something that you want to do but we have to. It's about the the note and I think I know who wrote it." As soon as i spoke those words Winter opened her eyes wide and sat straight up. And waited for me to speak.

Winters Prov.

After Justin woke me from my nap,I realized I sleep a lot now most be trying to cope with everything, he said we had to talk about the letter and that he thinks he found who it was from. I knew in that moment everything was going to change and I would be training everyday and any time I'm free. I wish I could just have an easy life with my mates for once. I wish that I could have parents that loved me a best friend that didn't use me and lie to me. All I could do was hope everything gets better. I only nodded towards Justin to continue what has to say. Jake stopped doing what he was doing, then came around and sat in the chair next to his brother.

"I think i found the person who wrote the letter and who might have possibly met up with Nahla at the forest" Justin spoke solemnly with regret filling his voice as if he didn't want to say anything.

"Who ever it is. We will figure it out together no matter what. We will be together and nothing will come in between us." I reached out and grabbed a and of each of my mates and held them. " We are stronger then whatever is ahead of us. I will train and become stronger." I could see the love that my mates had for me. I knew that i could no longer be a coward and hide behind my mates i have to be strong and stand beside them no matter what.

" Well the letter was written by Alpha Seth. I compared the hand witting between the letter that was given to you and another letter that he had written previously to us before you came along. He has always wanted power and he tried to use us to get it. I believe that he also has something over Nahla to make her act the way she is" I could only stare at Justin. Everything that he said honestly made since and I remember when I was younger meeting him one time, before all the abuse started.

"I think I know who Seth is. My parents invited him and his father over for dinner one time to talk about setting up a treaty between the two packs because there was a big rogue problem at that time. While my parents where talking to his father in the office i was told to show Seth to the gaming room/lounge area. He kept trying to get close to me but I wasn't a big fan of it so I texted Nahla to come to the lounge to hang out with us and of course she came but the moment she came in the tension in the room got weird. I thought it was because she got the same feeling I did with him but now I'm not quite sure." I looked down at the floor trying to recall all the memories from that day but nothing else came up. I guess my mind blocked that memory for some sort of reason. It confused me.

Chapter 9

Jake's Prov.

When Justin told us what he had found out then Winter said what happened when she was younger I couldn't stop thinking about what Seth did to make Winter so freaked out about him and now that the fact that he is writing her letters trying to get to her. By threatening her and everyone else. I couldn't help but let out a low growl, I suddenly felt sparks shooting through my arm I knew it was from Winter. She was rubbing small circles on the back of my hand trying to calm me down and it was working. I took a deep breath and remind myself that we have her and no one is going to take her away from us. I will kill whoever tries to take her. The phone rang breaking the silence, Winter made eye contact with both of us then got up and answered the phone.

"hello"

"this is she may I ask who this is"

"I'm sorry I don't understand"

"well yes of course"

"yes I understand we will be there"

"what will happen the rest of the pack"

"of course we will discuss it when we get there"

"Okay thank you Travis"

"we should be there in 2 hours mmm take care"

"Babe who was that?" I asked with curiosity filling my veins

"that was Travis the Delta of my old pack" Winter spoke with void with any emotion from her voice.

I only nodded my head and grabbed her hand then all three of us went back the our bedroom and started to pack for a few days. Winter only grabbed a hoodie that covered her ass. Not that I minded because it was only for me and my brother to see. As we started walking to the front doors I linked Carson letting him know that we had to go for a few days so he is in charge. We got into the car, I was driving and Justin sitting in the passenger seat with Winter in the back. Once we left the gates of the pack I looked in the mirror to see Winter just looking out the window. Her beautiful face showing only one emotion regret for whatever reason that we needed to go back to her pack. After a couple hours we made it to Winter pack. I could scene that she was getting tense being back here. I don't think she ever thought that she would have to be back here after she came with me. I will say that she had came a long way in just a few days. I couldn't imagine what is going on in that little head of hers.

Winters prov.

My whole body tenses as we enter my pack. I never wanted to come back after everything that has happened to me here I have no reason to be back here. But since I had to come back because my pack was attacked and both my parents and almost all of the pack had been killed it was my duty as their daughter to come and clean up the mess my parents made. I know I will have to give everyone an option about where they want to go I also have to talk about those that want to join my mates pack if it would be okay. And for those who lost their loved ones I have to set up funerals for all that died because of my parents and their stupidity choices in life. As we pull up to what was once my home I let a lone tear fall down my face vowing that I will never cry over my parents. I will not show this pack that I am weak any more. Over the last few days I have been with my mates I have notice the change with me. I no longer want to hide and cower instead i want to show everyone that I can be the strong leader that the pack needs that the alphas need. Jake parks the car, my mates are the first ones to step, I take a deep breath and open the door. I see Delta Travis waiting for me at the steps. He bows in respect of me and my mates.

"Luna I'm sorry to inform you of your parents and over half the packs death over the phone but they need you now and I know how much you hate this pack for what the higher ranked did too you and the fact that no one noticed what was happening." Travis was speaking with regret filling his voice. He knew what the higher ranking was doing for they kept trying to get him into joining but he refused. He was punished but I was glad to know that not everyone was horrible and evil.

"It's fine Travis. I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did do even if it wasn't very much but those little things showed me that it is okay to have hope and not everyone is the same. You may have had punishments because you refused to beat me like the others so for that i am sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't be strong when i was here." I looked at Travis in the eyes as I spoke knowing that he knew what I was saying was true.

"Thank you Luna and I would happily take those punishments if it meant that you still had hope in the world." Travis smiled when he finished speaking.

"Well i guess it is time to get down to business shall we. Can you please gather all wolves that are left and have them in the gathering hall since I can no longer link anyone from the pack since i cut ties from everyone when I left." I asked

" Of course luna." Travis bowed then walked away to gather the wolves that are left.

I turn and look at my mates and took a deep breath,

"We might have to take some to our pack. Others might want to join their old packs or other neighboring packs around this area. But those who chose to join us I will let you guys explain how everything works and how you want things to be done and the standards that are required." I felt power radiating off of me as I told my mates what is to be done. I never felt so confident in my life. I don't think that i will give this up any time soon. My mates just nodded in an understanding and I grabbed their hands, we walked to the gathering hall. I walked through the door to see very few wolves left from my pack. The children crying with the lost of their parents and friends not having any where to go. I could feel the fear that everyone has no that I'm standing before them. I knew they thought that i was like my parents but I am far different and I will prove that right now.

" Members of the Blue Moon pack I stand before as the Luna of the Blood Moon pack. Yet I know that my parents have done this pack wrong and many of others wrong but i can promise you guys that I'm not like that what so ever. I know a lot of you had seen me cower from everything but my mates Justin and Jake have helped me over come everything in just a short amount of time. I want you guys to chose what you want to do you can go back to your old packs, go to neighboring packs, or you can join me and my mates pack the choice is up to you the children that are with out a family what so ever will come with me and we will figure out if you can go to your parents old pack unless they were both born here. If that is the case then you will stay in the Blood Moon pack till you are old enough to decide what is to be done. " I spoke to make clear what is to happen

Justin Prov.

As i stare at my mate as she speaks to what was her former pack. I knew that though she still had a lot to work on but she was changing for the better. Even though she has been sleeping a lot more. I think her body was just trying to get used to the change of not having so much stress around her anymore. I think she has came to realize her true potential as a luna. I couldn't help but start to get a little turned on while she stood on that stage. She turned her head to look at me, her eyes turning black with the lust she could smell coming off of me. I cleared my throat, she shook her head and looked away back to the crowd.

" I will be staying here for a few days so if you have any question feel free to ask. I will be in my parents office, you're all dismissed" when winter was done with her speech everyone but Travis had left.

"Luna i would like to come to your pack. For this was my pack but i have disowned this pack but i could not go anywhere for i was the delta and I refused to become a rogue." Travis spoke with sadness filling his voice. I look at my mate and can see that she has already up her mind.

"Of course Travis you can join our pack." Winter smiled at Travis. I would be lying if i said that i wasn't jealous that he got her award winning smile. I grumbled some words that caused Jake to hit me upside the head. which in recalculation i heard a giggle for our dear mate which made me smile and apologize to her.

Jake prov.

After winter talked to what was left of the blue moon pack and to Travis after the meeting she started to head to the staircase, I and my brother had to hurry after her. As she ascended the stairs, she could only look around at all the pictures on the wall and decor that were on the walls and in the hallway. We eventually got to the top where she was waiting after feeling our presence she continued to walk forward to the end of the hallway where she turned left, putting her hand on the door before her she took a deep breath it was like she was reminding herself that she no longer had to cower. she was strong and she knew that. No matter what, I was only a few paces behind her when I stopped and waited for Justin to catch up to us. I heard a scream then a sob comes from my mate, I did the only thing I could think of I took off running towards her. I come to see a redish brown wolf on my mate a lunge forward and knock the wolf it growls at me and bears its teeth at me I go to shift only to be stopped by my mate.

"No, he is scared"

"what do you mean NO he attacked you"

"I said NO he is my brother which means that they hide him from me and told me that i was an only child. This also means that the time that my mother was sick for 9 months means she was pregnant with him"

I looked at her with shock written all over my face. Looking between the two I could only stand in front of my mate ready to protect her at any cost.

"Shift now" I heard Justin speak which then earn a glare from our mate.

"Please baby brother we won't hurt you. You have my word. Jake move please he needs to see that we are not a threat and he can trust us." I had no choice but to listen to my mate so i moved out of her way. I watched her walk to her little brother.

"Hey it's okay just picture yourself in your human form it will help and you have to relax. You have my word I will protect you from this point till the day I die which isn't going to be any time soon" I watched my mate speak so calmly that her little brother changed back into human form. When I saw him I knew he couldn't be more than 14.

"My name is Winter and the two guys over there are my mates Jake and Justin. What is your little one."

"Do not call me that I'm 14 I'm nearly an adult. Besides you are the one who left this pack to be a slut."

I wanted to smack the 14-year-old so bad. Nothing was physically stopping me. But I knew if I was to smack him my mate would be angry with me so I stayed put and made sure that Justin didn't do anything. I looked at him to make sure he was okay but before I could comprehend what was happening I heard smack come from where my mate and brother were from.

"Don't ever call me that again I get it our parents told you lies about me but how about you ask why I left before you just call me a slut. You honestly think I wanted to leave. You wanna see what mommy dearest did to me that daddy dearest didn't stop." Winter was fuming she took off her sweater then her shirt. Only leaving her in her sports bra and her pants.

" Have a good look because if you were born first then none of this would have happened because all they would ever say is why couldn't you be born a boy. Then you wouldn't be so weak. Oh and this one is my favorite you will never be strong enough for anyone, not even your own mates they will reject and leave you. Please tell me how any of that is okay" Winter was in so much pain I could here it in her voice. The way that she fought every fiber in her body not to turn and leave, she had to stay strong and to prove that she was not weak to herself and to everyone.
