READ THIS!!!
1. Thank You for reading my book :)

2. This book contains mature content including both sexual and violent scenes and a heavy amount of swearing. There will be warnings for all disturbing scenes at the beginning of the chapter and just before the content as well. (But the cursing is continuous throughout the book. Sorry, I cuss like a sailor.)

3. This book also contains some very sensitive issues and topics including depression, self-harm, drug-use and minor details of rape and kidnapping. Again there will definitely be warnings at the beginning of the chapter and just before the text as well including places where to skip to.
Rape, abuse, self-harm and emotional trauma are all very real and hurtful subjects and should not be treated lightly. If you are suffering from anything related to these things be sure to confide in someone you trust and look for professional help. You are never alone, you need not only ask.

The shill nosing of the bell rang throughout Marribell High signaling the glorious break called lunch.

Students pushed and shoved their way through the halls to get to their lockers and friends, seventeen-year-old Keegan doing the same with his friend Taylor by his side who was the future Pack Beta.

"Alpha called and organized extra training for the Elite Squad today. Just a heads up." Taylor said as he leaned on the locker next to Keegan's.

"She's really on edge with the increase of rogues, so that's reasonable," Keegan argued back, as he neatly placed and organized his things in his locker.

"Yeah, but I'm still sore from Wednesday." He whiningly joked, rubbing his shoulder.

"No need to cry over it though Taylor." Said Ryan, coming up behind him, slapping both of his hands down on the beta's shoulders, earning a pained groan from him. Taylor hastily pushed his hand off, though keeping his back turned. "Plus, I'll be running it. So it'll only be basics because mum doesn't trust me to do anything else. But she did give the old-"

"Basics are key." Taylor and Keegan finished, accompanied by an eye roll from the three and a fit of laughter. That phrase was a saying that every pack lived by; if one wanted to be skilled in anything they must first learn the basics.

"So has Alpha Alice given you our training full time yet?" Asked Keegan, as they set off towards their other friends.

"Yes finally," he smiled, as Keegan and Taylor cheered for their friend. "She called me last night giving me updates and asking for ones from home and then I basically just told her I was keeping Elite Squad's training."

"Told her?" Keegan asked as they opened the door to the grassed landing.

"Yup" he smiled, looking like an overgrown puppy who was way too happy with himself.

"Nice!" Said Taylor, hi-fiving his friend "I finally get to be able to walk the next day." he joked

"Woah who said I'd be softer?"

"Umm. Please?" he asked

But before Ryan could even respond, a group of human girls walked passed, the three brushing their hand all over the boys as they pushed their way through their group.
"Hi boys," Purred one the girls, she had brunette hair and olive skin; Montana. And just like that, they went inside.

"Can I be the first to say, what the fuck?!" Asked Taylor as he brushed himself off looking absolutely disgusted.

"No." Keegan and Ryan said in unison, still staring at the doors the girls walked through.

"Uggh, hetties," he groaned, accompanying it with an eye roll as he continued walking. The two laughed as they went and sat down against the semi brick wall with their friends who'd beat them there.

"What was that about?" Asked Emery, one of the Pack enforcers, as Taylor sat down on the grass beside him.
"Just some human girls being downright thirsty." Grumbled Taylor as he leaned over to greet his mate with a kiss.

Ryan, Taylor and Emery had been like The Three Blind Mice when they were little, they were always getting into sticky situations, but they'd do it together. So when Keegan came around they welcomed him with open arms, but unfortunately for them, he was the responsible one and as they got older and began to find their mates at 16, Taylor and Emery didn't have to look further than each other, unlike Keegan and Ryan who were still single and mate-less at 17 going on 18 although getting a date wouldn't be a challenge for either.

Werewolves are unfairly attractive.

"Ah." Giggled Emery in understanding as he deepened his kiss with Taylor. Keegan and Ryan both rolled their eyes and the two awfully flirted, it was like watching Mike and Celia from Monsters Inc. Cringy.

"Hey, did you hear that apparently Mr. Collins and Mr. Willson were heard doing it in Mr. Collins' store-room?" Asked Kingsley as she put her phone down, completely ignoring the two guys who had now upgraded to making out. Kingsley was Keegan's best friend aside from Ryan. She was also apart of the Elite Squad.

The Elite Squad was the next generation of wolves who were set to take over the pack, so the future Alpha, Beta, Delta and other high ranking enforcers were all apart of that team and set to be promoted to Alpha1, the frontlines. It was basically their combat and experience training for their future roles in the pack. So all five of them were apart of that group.

And Kingsley was the Commanding Enforcer's eldest child, so she was set to take on that role or even maybe Delta thus being apart of the Elite Squad but everyone knew that the Delta position was 'secretly' being saved for Keegan even if he claimed he didn't want it. But Kingsley faced a lot of disapproval from the older members, not because she was a female enforcer, it was because she wasn't.

Twins weren't uncommon in werewolves as the normal wolf will have around 4 pups in a litter at a time. So when Kingsley and her brother Jamin came along no one blinked an eye until they reached their 15th birthday, when Kingsley and Jamin first shifted, they had opposite gendered wolves.

Kingsley had a male wolf to go with her female human side and Jamin had a female wolf to accompany his human male side. They were constantly harassed from older members about being unnatural or 'abominations' but it wasn't like they could do anything about it, a wolf and human were linked by mind and soul, there was no changing wolf, even if you bickered like children, Keegan, and his wolf Tython being a prime example. So if your wolf died, so did you.

"Yeah I heard something about that. Just rumours though." Mumbled Ryan who grabbed a muesli bar out of his bag.
"Oh yeah, agreed alright," Said Keegan as he pulled at the grass.
"Oh well. That'd be pretty funny though. Not that anything really exciting ever happens here anyway." She mused. The group hummed in response still ignoring the two lover birds, if they even made it to that form of grace. Horny rabbits was a better term.

But little did any of them know by the end of that year, there would have been some very interesting events.

*************************

So that's the first chapter. It's a little bit all over the place and the next two will be as well probably, as I'm still trying to introduce the characters and little bits of their backstories. Hope you liked it.

P.S. This is written on device and laptop so things might get missed, I'm sorry. And I'm also dyslexic which will reason for updates being late because I'm quite self-conscious so...fight me. I do have Grammarly but if the spelling or grammar is off P.O.L.I.T.E.L.Y. say something in the comments and I'll try and fix it. Thanks ;)
