Elsa Laroche is part human, part wolf. She and her pack rule half the territory in her town. The other half is ruled by their rival pack, the Starks. But when Elsa and one of the Stark alphas begin to fall for each other, they must decide what to...

Elsa
With the chaos of a new wolf being in our midst, our parents became distracted from dealing with mine and Anna's punishment. They told us before going to bed, however, that they had certainly not forgotten and would be talking about it tomorrow.
Anna and I waited for everyone in our house to fall asleep before sneaking out. We had to be careful because Loren was out patrolling with Dmitri, Oliver, and Taki. Loren was one of the few people I was terrified of when angry, next to my parents and Shiloh. If he caught us, we were going to need one hell of an explanation to get out of that situation.
But, to my shock, and slight unease, Anna and I managed to make a clean getaway off our territory. The two of us walked in silence as we made our way towards the Stark compound. It was on the complete other side of Estes Park, so the journey took a while, but not long enough for me to find a way to calm my nerves.

At one point, Anna veered off on the trail, nose to the ground. I had no idea what could be so intriguing, but I ignored it, focusing on my goal as I trekked up the hill to the Stark's compound in hopes I would make it to the door without them accosting me first. Unfortunately, luck was not on my side. I smelled four of them before I saw them, but they'd already seen me. Within seconds, I became surrounded. On the bright side, Dom and Rey were there. On the downside, Callie and Brian were too. The former of the twins lunged at me, but with a quick, sharp bark from Dom, she halted, teeth snapping inches away from my face.
"What are you doing here?" Dom asked once we all shifted into humans.
"I came to see Spencer, to say thank you for saving my life last week. I never got to say it before my parents ran him off," I explained calmly. "Is he around?"
"We'll pass the word onto him," Rey said.
"That's not the same," I argued lightly. "It's not like he picked up something I dropped. He saved my life. Literally. I wouldn't be standing here right now if it weren't for him."
"What's going on? Why is there a Laroche on our property?" A woman demanded, appearing from the shadows. I gulped as I saw the Stark Alphas towering above me from the hill. It was Spencer's and Dom's mother- Hayley- who had spoken. Their father Chris stood beside her. I wasn't going to back down from them, but I also wasn't going to challenge them. I might be blonde, but I wasn't dumb (although some may beg to differ). I was here to thank them, not fight. Surely this feud would at least allow me this. They had been civil with us at the scene of the accident. Maybe that meant they would be now too if they knew my intentions.
"Especially Elsa Laroche. Do you realize how many people here would like to rip out your throat? Me being one of them? My sister being even worse?" Jack growled.
I tried not to glare at him, but it was hard not to as I said, "I do."
One by one, more members surrounded me until the entire Stark Pack was there. My eyes scanned for Spencer, but he wasn't there. Odd...
