cares a lot about me. And jeez am I special. Being one of the two people in my family still alive and with royal blood running through my veins. I’m special alright, very special, especially with my quick temper when those I care about are being harmed or are in danger of being harmed. “Mitchell I think you should go home now. We’ll play fight another day.” Mitch gave a small push against my mind barrier with a plea to stay and to show

him how to fight. I stared into his eyes, his determined eyes as I gathered all the information and experiences I’ve had with fighting. I put them into an imaginary box with an opening only big enough for someone to put their hand in there. "Be warned, you will see and feel things that could jump start the third change. Mitchell Cronk I give you this knowledge with my full trust. Do NOT use this knowledge for your own gain and do NOT share this with any other werewolf. No matter what happens don’t let a vampire mind reader see any of this. Give me your word and swear you will not share this knowledge with anyone human, werewolf or vampire alike."

Mitch looks at me as if I’ve gone mad or something then this light comes into his eyes.

“I will swear to keep this knowledge to myself only if you allow me to be in your pack. Michelle Prince I acknowledge you as my alpha and I swear to follow and obey you. If you will have me, I will protect all those who you care for, I will obey every order you give and if it isn’t an order I will treat it as such, this I swear.

”

I sighed and raised my eyes to the cloudy sky which paint the picture of my future and his.

“Bare thy skin and kneel, Mitchell Cronk,”

I lengthened my fingernails to claws on my left hand as this foreign feeling of ancient power moves through my mind and body. Mitch removes his shirt and kneels before me exposing his throat. I put my clawed hand onto Mitch’s left pec and dig my claws in then drag them down diagonally. Leaving three lines going from left to right for about 20cm. He didn’t flinch which is proper of a beta. Woah, were did that come from? “Once you are a part of my pack you will be my beta,”

I morph into my full size wolf which towered of Mitch’s kneeling form. "I pronounce you my beta and my blood brother."

His eyes widen but he doesn’t say anything as it is a rule you must follow when a pureblood acknowledges their alpha. In my wolf form I swipe my paw across his left pec right to left for the same length as the other scratch, 20cm. Again he didn’t flinch bringing me a feeling of pride and bondage. To finish this I had to return to my human form and announce him as part of the pack but it seemed unfinished. An idea came to me from the ancient power that was still there and didn’t seem to be leaving. Still in my wolf form I walk closer to Mitch and he looks me in the eyes. This time he has awe and happiness in his eyes. It seals the idea into a reality. ‘"Mitchell Cronk, I would bite thee to do a blood exchange which will give you extra strength and power of those within this pack It will also mark you as my blood brother. Should I die or be killed you will be the alpha of my pack even if another wolf kills me to take over my pack you will be the alpha. I ask of thee, what do you chose?"

Mitch closes his eyes and bows his head which is custom when asked something like this.

“How does it work?” In his eyes there is acceptance and honour. So Alex and Daniel don’t hear I tell him how it works before changing back into human form. Mitch nods and I bite him on the left pec in my wolf form. When I pull back there is a perfect circle of little holes around the two crossed claw markings. Mitch had gone from kneeling to rocking back and forth on his heels with his head bowed. A small moan left him and if I hadn’t been in my wolf form I wouldn’t have heard it. I close my eyes, slowly lifting my head to the sky and howl. My howl ends in a humanly howl of warning and calling of the pack. I crouch in front of Mitch who is still rocking himself back and forth. Putting two fingers under his chin I lift his head so he is looking at me before he turns his head to the side without my help baring his throat to me. I glanced at the tree that Alex and Daniel were still crouched in and bit into Mitch’s neck as gently as I could. He didn’t flinch. I take two big pulls on his throat then let go, lick the wound and I turn his head to face me; his eyes were half closed in bliss.
“It’s your turn.” I said as I exposed my neck. He also glances at the tree that Alex and Daniel are in then bites into my neck trying to be gentle. For this to work he has to take the same amount from me as I took from him. He takes two big pulls, let’s go and licks the wound.
Alex was charging across the clearing when Mitch finished. All you could hear was his footfalls and the rumbling of his growl; everything had fallen silent the moment I bit Mitch.

The effect of the blood sharing had kicked in as soon as he licked the wound. The ancient power that was now starting to fade told me that it would paralyse the two of us for a minute or two before we could function properly again. The sharing of blood was one of the most ancient ways of creating a bond without becoming mates for life yet still similar and as strong as the mated bond between two werewolves. With our bodies paralysed we couldn’t do anything to stop Alex from throwing Mitch into the bushes surrounding the clearing, fisting the front of my shirt, lifting me off the ground and holding me inches away from his face.

“What an angry face you have Mr Wolf.”

I commented strait to Alex’s mind and the comment naturally pissed him off even more but I could hear Mitch trying hard not to laugh which meant the paralysis was wearing off faster than expected. Mitch couldn’t hold it back; he barked out a laugh and couldn’t stop. Which got me going and that was very bad.
“Shut up!

I am an alpha and the two of you will obey!” This shut us up. Something in my chest started to hurt and my hand flew up of its own accord and gripped that spot. I didn’t know what was happening. Daniel yelled something that I couldn’t make out over the thumping of my heartbeat in my ears to Alex. Alex lowered me to the ground gently laying me on my back. As soon as he let go I sprung to my feet and bolted as far away from him as I could be. Mitch came to my side immediately in his wolf form and leaned gently on my left leg supporting me.

“You Are Not My Alfa's!” I screamed at them. “If you think that just because Jason and Marcus dumped me on your doorstep makes you my Alfa you are dead wrong. I am not someone that gets ordered around and I most definitely am not a normal member of the pack. Jason is my mate, Marcus is my teacher and you two are their betas. In their absence you may be the Alpha’s but you really don’t want to go ordering me around. Just ‘cause I’m younger doesn’t mean I don’t out rank you. Argghh, why does it still hurt!?” I start pacing and rubbing the spot where that damn ache won’t ease. I realise, it’s my Wolf wanting out, it wants to show Alex who’s boss and, boy, do I want to show them who’s the boss. I stop pacing and look right at Alex and Daniel standing there with their mouths hanging open. I go over what I said to them in such a powerful voice that even Mitch was a bit weary of me now.
“Is there something you’re not telling me?”

I looked back at Mitch and his still weary of me.
“Everything is there in that box I gave you Mitch, EVERYTHING.”

Mitch’s eyes widen. He lays down and closes his eyes while I stand there waiting for him to sift through the box of memories that I gave to him.

While Alex and Daniel watch in such confusion that I can barely contain the urge to laugh as well as the urge to show them whose boss. It doesn’t take long for Mitch to find what he’s looking for. I know he’s found it when he suddenly surges to his feet and starts to growl in the way that the betas do to the royal alphas. He then bowed and rolled over exposing his belly the submissive way of the commoners. I crouch down and say, “Mitch you are not a commoner you do not need to submit yourself to anyone. You are royalty as well.” I whispered so low that Alex or Daniel wasn’t able to hear. He stares at me in astonishment then quickly gets to his feet. I see an instant change in his demeanour; he stands taller, he holds his head high and he stares Alex and Daniel in the eyes. This made Alex bristle so much that he started growling at Mitch who naturally growled back at the challenge but I was not having any of that. I let out a very menacing growl making Mitch back down and me taking the place of Mitch in the challenge of dominance.

My wolf was burning my skin it wanted out so bad yet I still restrained myself but that didn’t stop Alex from changing without hesitation. “You should forfeit now Alex it’s not a good idea getting into a fight against me especially now.” Mitch gave a bark of amusement at that because he knew exactly what was going on inside my mind right now, a battle of control and restraint between my wolf and me. The glance I gave Daniel told me that he also knows of the battle within.

‘I’ll never forfeit!! Especially to a female!!’

Alex project out to everything listening. As he said that my pack arrived giving a growl of angry protest at his words. He looked surprised to see many of the older and a few of the younger wolves that he and Daniel had been caring for were standing with me. While the rest of his and Daniels’ pack stood behind them. ‘Nominate your count keeper! I nominate Daniel.’

I look around at my pack and see mostly fear for me and anger at Alex in the faces and eyes none of them looked like they could do the job without miss counting, except Mitch, who stare at me in defiance daring me not to pick him. “I nominate Mitchell!!” To this my pack howled in approval. “The first to get to twenty strikes and hold it for more than three minutes wins. Do you agree?”

‘I agree!!’

Daniel and Mitch step forward to shake hands and swear that they will
