OLIVIA


    What a day. If I had been counting on having a quiet first day, I was very wrong. First fighting that


    annoying guy, Ryan, I think, was his name. Then after I got home, I showered and decided to go for


    a walk, I had graduated early, so I didn''t have school I needed to attend.


    When I was walking around checking out our new pack, I visited my grandparents. We met them


    yesterday, too, after the meeting with Alpha Logan. But they were happy to see me again. She told


    me I looked like my mom, except I looked stronger and more capable of protecting myself. They


    liked that. After talking, I told them about how I always enjoyed being around kids. And that singing


    was something I loved, as I could easier express myself more that way.


    My grandma told me I should try to go look at the kindergarten that is right next to the packhouse.


    She said that the adults looking after the kids there always looked for more to help out. So I


    decided to go and have a look.


    When I came there, there was no confusion about where I should go, as I could hear the noise of


    many kids ying. Before I knew it, I was dancing around and singing Disney songs with them. And


    I especially connected with one of the girls, the same girl I savedst night when she fell down the


    stairs. Alpha Logan''s daughter Rosalie.


    To begin with, I didn’t pay much attention to the few packmembers that came to see what was


    going on. But then more and more came, not that it bothered me. I was used to performing in front


    of others. Somehow, I knew it before I saw him when the crowd must have gotten Alpha Logan''s


    attention.


    For some reason, knowing he heard and saw this made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I stopped after a


    few more songs and promised that I would be back another day. Before I left, Rosalie made me say


    yes, to singing for her uing birthday. I had the feeling that this little girl would have me


    wrapped around her finger.


    At this moment, I am sitting at my window looking at the forest that is not far away from our house.


    We ate here at home today, not that there is anything new about that, because we used to do it all


    the time. But somehow, it felt wrong, like I am supposed to be at the packhouse.


    After sitting here for a while, I decide I want to go for a run, and I change into a pair of shorts and a


    tank top and leave the house, going into the forest. I look around and begin to run. I can’t wait until


    I am able to shift.


    The forest has an amazing feel to it, and Skye seems to love it when we run. At least, that''s the


    feeling I get from her. Sometimes when I run, I tap into her strength and can partly use her


    heightened eyesight. And it makes everything so much more amazing.


    While looking out on theke and the river, I sense the change in Skye, who seems to be getting


    excited, and the sound of the forest going quiet. I stand up and look into the trees when I see them.


    The big midnight ck wolf that I thought I saw the day we arrived. He is slowlying out from


    the trees as if he is trying not to scare us. His scent tells me who it is. This huge wolf is Alpha Logan.


    He stops up and looks around me. Then turn to go look at some big rocks and disappear behind


    them. A few secondster, Alpha Loganes out from behind the rocks dressed in a pair of shorts.


    “Hey Olivia, you couldn''t sleep either?” He asks.


    "Hey, No, so much is happening it is hard to rx. Is it okay that I am here?” I ask nervously, but he


    smiles at me.


    “It is that packsnd, so of course it is. I didn''t expect to find you out here at this hour. Everything


    okay?” He asks.


    "Oh yes. Just a lot has happenedst two days.” I exin.


    “I can understand that. But it will get easier.” He promises


    “I know. Can I ask something?” I ask, and he looks at me.


    “Of course. You can ask me anything.”


    "Why didn’t you punish me for what happened at training? I mean. I hurt him pretty badly.” I say


    and look down.


    “Because what he did was wrong. You very clearly told him you wanted to get some water. Not only


    did he not respect that. Be his behavior holding you down and speaking to you the way he did.


    Fuck, Olivia, I was about to pull him off you when you handled him yourself. If anything, you should


    be proud. You are a great fighter, probably the best female fighter I have ever seen. And something


    tells me I have not seen it all. I have the feeling you will get even better when you and your wolf


    connect fully.” He tells me.


    "Oh," I said, blushing a little.


    We are sitting on the ground, looking at the water and the moon and talking for a bit. When he


    stands up.


    “It is gettingte. Do you want me to follow you home before I go?”


    “No, that''s okay. I will be fine but thank you, Alpha. Oh, and let me know when and about Rosalie’s


    birthday. I tell him, and he smiles.”


    “I will, and Olivia, you do not need to call me Alpha all the time.”


    "Okay. But then. Most people call me Liv. It''s easier. I tell him


    “All right, Liv, have sweet dreams.” He says, smiling, and leaves.
