You see my mother only wanted one pup instead she got two. My twin sister Lily was the princess to my mother and I was what she called the spare. That is my name “Spare”. Spare Williams. My sister had sunny golden hair, golden tan skin, bright green eyes and a b*dy to die for. I on the other hand had dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, pale skin and a b*dy not so much to die for. My father said that he got a daughter like his mother and one like his mother in law. I took after his mother. I never knew my grandparents on my fathers side they both died before we were born. My mothers parents, on the other hand I wish I did not know. They were mean, cruel and judgmental. My father Erick is the younger brother of our current Alpha Micheal, he is always gone on business trips checking on allies and the various businesses that the Pack owns. My mom was on several committees and everything had to be perfect. Well that is except for me, no matter what I do or how well I do it, it is never enough. As I got older, I started to care less and less about mothers perfection. Mostly I just stayed away or in the shadows, I wasn’t allowed to eat with the family. When I was younger I would wait for them to go to bed, so I could steal food from the kitchen. Now with my job, I can just buy the things I needed. My bedroom was in the attic, I had a mattress for a bed, a blanket and a pillow. An old dresser for what little clothes I had. Over the years they would put all their old junk up here, so I added things as they came. I went to the same school as all the other pack members, I was pretty much invisible, except when Lilly wanted to show off to her snobby friends. We turned 18 last month. I kept my grades a secret from my family. I am a junior because my sister flunked the 9th grade, so my mother had my sister and me as well redo the 9th grade. She told everyone that I was the one too stupid to pass, Lilly the saint that she was, stayed back with me for support. I will be graduating with the seniors, I take advanced classes with the help of some of my teachers. I have even completed my entry level classes for college. I want to be a doctor. As soon as graduation is over, I am leaving. I have enough money saved up from my job, I have to keep that hidden as well or Lilly will find it. God only knows what she would do with it. I worked my tail off cleaning hotel rooms for every penny I have, the thought of her getting it makes my skin crawl. Lilly gets 300 dollars a month to spend on frivolous things, not that she pays for her clothes or anything else like gas for her new car. I know I sound like I’m envious, well maybe a little. It’s because she gets all the love and attention, while I’m not even allowed to use the front door. That reminds me “The Grandparents” are coming over tonight for dinner. It doesn’t matter anyway it’s Friday, I picked up an extra shift at the hotel. I would like to say that work at least gives me some friends to talk to but it doesn’t. It’s just me and the cleaning cart. Everyday I tell myself, soon. There is one girl I am friendly with, she is an Omega and is kinda invisible like me. We used to chat almost everyday but she just disappeared a week ago. I tried to look around and ask a few pack members but I don’t want or need any extra attention, I just hope she is ok. Thank the goddess for my one and only truest friend my wolf, Artemis. She is so beautiful, a white wolf with black on the tips of her paws. Her eyes are even darker than mine. She is fast, very fast. She has kept me sane growing up and is my motivation when I sometimes feel like giving up. So here I am pushing my cleaning cart from room to room, you really don’t understand how nasty d*rty people can be till you work as a maid in a hotel. It truly makes me wonder what their houses look like. I knock on the door, there is no answer, so I knock a little louder. nothing. I use my key and open the door just a little to say, “Housekeeping, any one here?” again nothing. So I grab some supplies and head on in. The bathroom is first on the left, so I start there. I turn on the light expecting the usual carnage, I am surprised when it is neat. I clean everything and restock the extra’s. I then turn on the light for the main room and I gasp, there on the floor is a n*ked man, I think he is unconscious. I sigh, just what I need another drunk. I grab a towel off the cart and cover his unmentionables. Then I reach down and shake his shoulder, that is when I see the blood running down his face. Oh, god he is hurt!. I shake him gently one more time and he moans. “Sir, can you hear me?.” he moans again, this time he is starting to move. He rolled over on his back, I was thinking of going to the front desk for help. I can’t afford a phone, so I couldn’t call. He is a big guy, very tall, well built tan skin, dark hair and when he opened his eye’s they were so unusual, they were a bright gold that seemed to have a life of their own. His scent was intoxicating a combination of the deep woods and rain. She could tell that his wolf was looking back at her too. She backed away a little, “I’m sorry if I was too close, you were unconscious. Are you ok? Let me get a cold wash cloth for your forehead.” Duncan woke to the sweetest voice, he almost thought that he was still dreaming. Then he remembered how he ended up on the floor n*ked. His wolf, Apollo assured him that he was healing. Nothing to worry about. That is when she came back with a cold wash cloth, it took the sting out of the cut, her scent hit him it was a strange combination of roses and peppermint. She was gorgeous, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Both Duncan and his wolf spoke at the same time. “MATE!”. At the same time a look of horror came across her face and she bolted out the door, Duncan can still hear her words as she ran, “NO! please not now.” Without thinking he ran after her. He caught her just as she was heading for the back door. He wrapped his arms around her and she started to panic. “Shhhh, little wolf. I am not going to hurt you.” She stopped moving and was quiet, I carried her over my shoulder back to my room. Duncan noticed how small she was and that she hardly weighed anything at all. He could feel her breathing, it was still fast but calming down. Spare got a good view of his really nice ass. Artemis was going crazy in her head. She was so frustrated that she could of slapped her, “stop it you hussy, this messes up everything.” “He is our mate!!!! He can help us. Smell him, he isn’t from our pack.” He went inside his room and shut the door locking it behind him. He sat her gently down on the bed , as he went to get a pair of his jeans. Just as he was buttoning them up, he saw her bolt for the door. Catching her quickly this time he sat down with her on his lap. “Tell me my little wolf, why are you so afraid?” “Please.. she whimpered, you have to let me go, I can’t stay here in this pack anymore, you will ruin all my plans.” “Calm down little wolf and smell me again.” Spare looked at him for a little bit and then sniffed his scent again. It was the same as before but there was something else, “OMG, you’re not from this pack.” He smiled at her, taking her all in, his wolf Apollo was doing happy circles in his head. A very smug Artemis was saying “told you so” in her head over and over. “What is your name my little wolf?” “Umm.. my name?” “With a chuckle he asked her again, “Yes, my little wolf your name.” Hanging her head in shame she whispered, “My name is Spare.” His mind couldn’t get around it, what kind of name was Spare? “As in a spare tire?! that kind of spare.” “Yes, as in that spare.” It’s clear it embarrassed her so he decided to drop it for now.”My name is Duncan MacKenny of the Storm Crow Moon Pack.” Spare didn’t know a lot about the Storm Crow Moon Pack, only that it is a mysterious and secretive pack that the Wolf King hires to hunt down criminals and rogues. “My full name is Spare Williams of the Rising Moon pack.” His eye’s went from golden to an almost copper color when she said her name. His voice gave off a low growl when he asked…”Williams as in Micheal and Eric Williams?” “Yes, my father is Eric.” “I met Eric’s daughter Lilly, there was no mention of another daughter. ” ” Lilly is my twin sister, there was no mention of me because I am the Spare. I don’t exist to them, unless they want to vent some anger or need an ego boost.” It broke his heart to see her shrug it off as if it was normal. There were so many questions and so little time to get the answers. She isn’t going to like what he has to tell her next.
Chapter 2
Chapter 2 “Spare you are not going to like this, since you are my mate and you know that I am here. You are going to have to come with me to my pack.” “What!! No! I can’t, I graduate in three months. I have money saved up so I can leave here and go to novelbin college. It’s the only thing I have had to hold on to all these years. I promise I won’t tell anyone, believe me I have no one to tell.” Her plea’s once again were breaking his heart, his choice stands she is coming with him. “When your shift ends, I will take you home. You will quietly gather anything you want to take with you. As for your schooling we will discuss it once we are safe and on our way.” Spare should be mad, every time she looked at him and smelled his delicious scent, she just went all weak in the knees . She wanted to scream but all she did was nod her head. It shouldn’t be to hard to get her things, since they were all planning on going out on the town tonight for some sort of celebration. Spare finished her shift and returned to Duncan’s room. He was carrying a back pack as he guided her to his truck. “Ok, my little wolf. Time to get your things and I will get you far away from here.” They drove in silence as they parked on a side street from her house. She took one look at him as she got out of the truck. He smiled a wolfish smile, “Little wolf, don’t make me chase you. At least not tonight.” He could see her shiver as she walked back to her house. He knew he lied to her, when he told her that she knew he was here, she would have to come with him. He just couldn’t leave here knowing, she was living in that house with that family. He’d finally found his mate, he wasn’t letting her out of his sight ever again. They would have to do something about her name, he refused to keep calling her Spare. Her mother was a cruel b*tch to give her that name. *** Spare grabbed what little stuff she had and her saved up money. Anger stuffing it all into an old duffel bag. Lastly she grabbed max her teddy bear, she had made him from all the torn up ones Lilly tossed away in her temper tantrums. She snuck back out of the house. She walked up to the truck cursing herself and this mate bond crap, she yanked open the door, got inside and slammed it shut, just as her family pulled up into their drive. It is a long 400 miles, when there is an angry she wolf in the truck with you. At first he said nothing but when he looked over at her silent figure, he noticed tears running down her face. “Crap” his wolf said in his mind. “We made our Mate cry.” “Look, I am sorry about your plans. I promise though to make it up to you. Your life is going to change as my Luna. My pack is a strong pack we have over 2000 members. All of us are warriors, you will be safe.” “Won’t your warrior pack be disappointed in a Luna that can’t fight? I was never allowed to train.” Duncan didn’t even give a second thought about it, it didn’t matter to him and, it won’t matter to his pack either. He was more worried that she was so thin, clearly she needed to eat better. He was going to take her straight to the pack doctor for a check up. Make sure she is ok. Then they will have breakfast and get her settled in his room. He knew she was angry and putting her in his room wasn’t going to make things better. He didn’t care, he was going to put her where he knew she was safe. She’d fallen asleep two hours ago,when they were almost home. Ten minutes later he pulled up to the gate ,as the guards waved him through. He came up to the pack house and parked the truck. He looked over at her, she must of been exhausted to sleep so deeply. He decided to change his plans a little, He’d take her to his bed and let her sleep. He carried her inside the house as various pack members stared on in curiosity. Once in his room he laid her down on his bed, took off her shoes and jacket then covered her up with his blankets, it was a very satisfying feeling to see her in his bed. He decided to look into her duffel bag, there wasn’t much there that was for sure. A really odd looking teddy bear, a couple of T-shirts, a pair of jeans, a couple pairs of underwear and a bra. In the bottom was an envelope, He looked inside. It must be the money she had saved up. He counted it, there was over three thousand dollars in there. He went over to his hidden safe and put the money in there for her. He took note of the sizes of her clothes and them put them all neatly in the top drawer of his dresser. He left her to sleep and mind linked his beta Marco to meet him in his office. Marco was already there waiting for him, with a big grin on his face. Ducan chuckled, not much happens here that he doesn’t know or find out. “So Duncan did you find something interesting at the Rising ‘Nasty’ Moon pack?” “You know I did, asshole. I found my mate and you are not going to believe who she is.” “Well, don’t keep me waiting in suspense drama queen, who is she?” “She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Her name is Spare Williams, yes, as in the Williams of Rising Moon Pack. She is their second pup, Faternal twins. She is nothing like that scanky slut Lily. As a matter of fact she found me knocked out on the hotel floor, she is or rather was a maid there.” “Spare? as in a spare tire? That isn’t a nice name . Marco said with disgust, how could a mother do that to her child?. Seriously this pack is a piece of shit. Did you get any evidence before they made you?” “I got some names of places to look up and names of missing girls, not all of them are wolves either, seems they like variety. They are taking girls from human towns too, not too many at a time and not at the same place.” “Maybe your Mate will know a few things.?” “I don’t think so, she was living in the shadows. I doubt there were many pack members that even knew of her existence. You are right though, it won’t hurt to ask her, even though she is really pissed at me right now.” “Oh, really and pray tell why is she pissed at you?. Did you use your not so charming, charm on her perhaps?” “Nope, as it turns out, I ruined her plans to escape her pack. She was saving up every penny, to make her way to college. I don’t know what her life was like,but I can tell you it wasn’t all that good. She is underweight for one thing. She is as jumpy as a long tail cat in a rocking chair factory. I can also tell you she is smart and clever as well. She is also fast and is probably going to plan escaping here as well, at least till we can show her what a pack is really like.” “We will take it slow Duncan, she is going to be scared and untrusting for a while but we will win her over. Show her she doesn’t have to give up her dreams either.” With that Marco went off to check the border patrol and then he was off to bed. Duncan sat in his office watching the fire in the fire place, thinking of his wonderful mate and all the things that she is going to have to go through to be normal again. He knew he was going to have to take it slow with her and earn her trust. He was going to go back to her family house and have a look around, he will have to use his special talent to become invisible to do it. That whole pack is a den of vipers, in serious need of being taken down. As for Spare’s dreams of college, he had no problem helping her gain that dream. He was also going to have her change that name of her’s, he wasn’t going to let that name be a reminder of what they did to her, for the rest of her life. He texted his sister, Marnie telling her everything and sending her Spare’s sizes, asking her to get enough for a few weeks, until they could take her shopping. Marnie was a very cheerful and wise nineteen year old shewolf, who also had a mean side if anyone messed with someone she cared for. Marnie texted back that she will be there tomorrow afternoon, with all the things that Spare might need. With that it was time for bed, he had someone bring a spare cot to his bedroom, he wasn’t going to frighten her right off the bat. When he got into his room, her scent hit him like a runaway train. His wolf wanted to mate her and mark her right now. Duncan cooled him off by reminding him that they had to earn her trust first. There she was sound asleep in his bed, she might not know it yet, it was going to be the only bed she would be sleeping in, for the rest of her life. She was clutching that weird bear and his pillow. He was going to have to ask her what the deal was with that bear, it look like it was pieced together from a bunch of other stuffed toys. She was even more gorgeous in her sleep. God her scent took on a warmer sleepy quality to it, making his mouth water and his cock hard in anticipation. Sigh, this isn’t going to be easy to go slow. Duncan knew he was in for several cold showers, as he walked into his bathroom for his first one.
