All Chapters of In her Shadow: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

NICK POVDespite our awkward encounter I couldn't help but smile at the possibility of seeing Anna again. It was still morning though and the Luna ceremony wasn't until tonight. I should have made plans to see her earlier but I didn't want to overwhelm her when she was half asleep. I also didn't want to give her the chance to say no.I went down to breakfast before joining all the other alphas and alphas to be in a full day of meetings before the ceremony tonight as we were all set to leave tomorrow. I couldn't help but check where Anna was, well where her phone was. The tracker said she was still in her house. I felt the need to know what she was doing and who she was doing it with. I've never felt that way before but because I hadn't turned 18 yet I had no idea if she was even my mate. What if she was my mate? I don't even know how old she is, if she was she wouldn't know until she was 18.What if she's not my mate and she just thinks I'm some cra

NICK POVWhile I tried to find Anna again she was s was least with someone and I didn't want to make things weird. No naturally I'd make things weirder and go visit her in her room before I leave. I can see that her phone is there but I've got no idea if she's awake or asleep.I waiting until the party was pretty much over and climbed up the vines again which led to Anna's room. The window was already open so I put my head in and looked around. The lights were off and it was dark except for the light of the full moon shining through. She wasn't there but I jumped into the room anyway and walked over the the desk on the other wall and sat down on the chair and looked around.Suddenly the adjoining door opened from what must have been the bathroom and Anna walked out tying up her hair oblivious to me sitting at her desk. Though she must have caught my scent because she took a deep breath and started looking around her room settling her eyes on me when she found me. I

NICK POVI woke up hearing my packs voices in my head wishing me happy birthday but there was a new voice I haven't heard before. 'Hi Nick I'm Max your wolf'.'Max! I've been waiting a long time to meet you!, Tell me everything you know! Is Anna my mate? I need to know!''Just hang in there it's almost time!' Max sighed.I got out bed and went to the bathroom sorting through all the thoughts and voices in my head tuning out the voices that don't matter. It's hard having so many members in your pack on dats like this. I stripped and jumped into the shower trying to get ready for the day. There were a few guests that had come from far away that were already here and some that were arriving but it put a lot of our pack on edge and it was up to my father and I to make sure everything goes smoothly.Thinking about tonight was both exciting and stressful. I just wanted it to go well and make sure there were no problems. ANNA POVIt was t

ANNA POVI woke up in a strange room that looked like a hospital. I realised I was connected to machines beeping. Looking around I could see Nick asleep in the chair next to me.Nick is here! I could hear Destiny screaming, 'he's out mate, our mate is here!' I so desperately wanted to get off the bed and jump on him but I was connecting to the machines which were beeping faster and faster with my increasing heart rate. A doctor opened the door and came in. "Hi you must be Anna, I'm dr Woods. You're looking a lot better, how do you feel? "I don't know, how did I get here and where is here?" I askedI could hear Nick shuffling, waking up next to me. "Hey mate" he said smiling."Hey mate" I said smiling back at him. "How are you feeling?" Nick asked with concern in his voice."I'm ok, I just needed to see you, I was so sure you were my mate but they were leaving and I didn't want to go without seeing you." I
