Chapter 0001

“Kristen, are you ready?” Jacob asked. He was being very impatient with me. His sh aggy black hairwas getting into his crystal clear blue eyes. Looking over, I watched him run his hands through his hair.Jacob was hot, I’ve give him that. Very muscular and tall at 6’1” but not exactly my type. Fun to flirt withbut not my type.

“Just about.” I was the alpha’s daughter. My brother was Jacob’s best friend and the leader of our littlepack of friends. Colt was every girl’s we t dr eam. Short brown hair with extremely dark brown eyes. Iguess I could see how his jaw line and beard stubble made me look good. His was completely bulkedout as well.

However, since I was his twin, we looked very similar. Colt often got teased since I am the femaleversion of him and extremely sought after by the guys.

However, Colt was four minutes older than me so he get’s the Alpha’s position. Leaving me to do what Iplease and that happens to be tattooing. I started tattooing around 15 years old and Colt and I wouldbe 18 here soon. I was on my last session with Jacob.

“I’m excited to get this done. I have a date this weekend and I want it to look good.” Jacob had a newflavor every weekend, to the point that I didn’t bother learning their names.

We went to a high school that was part human and part werewolves. However, three different packsattended the school so you had to be careful. There was us, the Blue Fang pack. Then the MidnightRiver pack and finally the Black Moon pack. For the most part, the packs got along but there was stillalways a sense of authority that was tested.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you look good. Can’t be representing our pack badly.” Jacob was gettingour Crest tattooed on his chest. It was the head of a wolf with its teeth showing and blue blood dripping

from the fangs. Kind of spot on for whoever designed it but whatever.

“Thanks, Ice.” Ice was my nickname. Colt was fire. As in, red hot, se xy and playful. Ice is for my coldheart that I chose not to give out. I had long naturally curly hair, all the curves with legs for days. I couldhave the pick of whoever I wanted. However, Colt usually put a stop to it.

One time, he literally beat my boyfriend to the point he was unrecognizable because he saw us k*ssing.Since then, I haven’t found anyone really wanting to go up against him.

Jacob was leaning back in the chair as I finished up setting everything up when my brother and the restof his pose came in. “You ski p the last hour?” Colt asked me.

Rolling my eyes, I leaned over and started working on Jacob. He flinched at first and growled at me.“You are not going to want to do that.” I warned him. I might be a girl but the alpha blood and training inme will put all these boys on their assess.

“I wasn’t ready.”

“Suck it up.” I said as I kept going.

“Ice, I asked a question.” Colt sat down in a chair. Ace was who I wanted but was forever untouchableto me. His was the beta’s son and would be Colt’s beta. His honey brown hair matched his eyes. Onlyslightly shorter than Colt, he was just as muscular and much more reserved and quiet. He was the typeto sit in the corner, drink and watch everyone else get stu pid. It’s the silent types for me. He sat downdirectly in front of Jacob. With his foot on the bar under the chair, his arms folded, made me want toclimb on his lap and f u ck him.

“I heard you. I didn’t want to go.” Dripping my gun into the blue ink, I kept going.

“Why not? Something happen?” Colt’s voice became dangerous. These three guys and my best friendEmmy, we were a group. Gang might be too much of a word but no one messed with us. We madesure of it.

Thankfully, the door opened and Emmy walked in. Jacob had the hots for her but she denied him sooften that he would go out with these other girls to make her jealous. However, all it did was repulseher. I have her a grateful nod.

She was the most perky person. With strawberry blond hair that was as curly as can be, she was oneof the best female warriors… under me. Her light skin that was covered in freckles, really made herblue eyes pop.

“How’s it going?”

“Just finishing up si ssy boy’s tattoo.” I said with a smile as I kept going.

“That looks amazing.” Emmy came over and looked at it as I leaned back and cleaned it off with apaper towel.

“Si ssy boy?” Jacob gave me a look.

“Down boy, just a joke.” I laughed as I kept going. The bell ringed again, this time, the person enteringwas someone from another pack.

“Hello, I heard this was the place to go for a tattoo?” We all looked at him. Oh, f u c k. He gave Ace arun for his money. His black hair was gelled back, his green eyes landed on me and my world paused.His leather jacket did little to hide just how muscular he was. It was his jeans that caught my attention.They were on the tighter side but the biker boots finished his look.

Shaking off the initial reaction, “What are you looking for?”

“I was told to ask for a Chris. They were the best.”

“That would be me.” I said with an edge. Most people in my school called me Kris, my close friendscalled me Ice. Very few people called me Kristen.

The shock was clear but he managed to regain himself. “I was hoping to get a piece like this.” Pullingout a massive drawling, he walked up to me so I could look at it.

“Where do you want it?” I asked. It was a whole mural of a wolf howling at the moon.

“My back. I want it to cover the whole thing. I just got back from a five year training and I want to getinked.”

“What is your name?” Colt asked.

The stranger looked over at him. “Name is Alec. Son of Alpha Marc from the Black Moon Pack. Hewalked over to shake Colt’s hand.

Colt stood up. I got a little nervous, as Colt doesn’t have the best reputation. “Colt Jefferys. Son ofAlpha Brian of Blue Fang pack. That is my twin sister, Kristen Jefferys.” Colt nodded towards me.“Emmy, Future Gam ma Jacob and Future Beta Ace.”

“I don’t mean to step on toes coming here. I am finishing my last year in school here beforetransferring.”

I coudn’t stop myself. “Transferring where?” Colt shot me a look but I ignored him.

Alec gave me a half smile. “More training.”

“That piece will cost around $1,500 and take me a few sessions. Depends on your pain tolerance.” Isaid without looking at them. Instead, I started up again on Jacob. I just needed to finish the shading

and I was done.

“Do you have a references?” Alec asked.

Rolling my eyes, I pointed at the book on the stand. Most guys wanted to see my work before theyagreed to anything. I was used to it but still annoyed me. Alec took a few minutes and fl*pped throughthe pages. I have always been able to read people extremely easy. Colt said it was because I was anAlpha Female. Either way, Alec was mysterious, and dangerous yes but not at the same time.

“Okay, I am done.” I told Jacob. Putting some soap on the tattoo, I washed it before cleaning it off andapplying a healing tape. “You know the drill. Don’t make me fix your f uc k ups. Keep the bi tches fromusing fingernails this time.” I glared at him.

“That was one time!” Jacob got up and looked in the mirror. In the mean time, I washed my hands andgrabbed my camera to take a picture.

“Hold still.” I said moving him in the light.

Click!

“Perfect.” I knew they had to leave but I could tell Colt didn’t want to leave me alone with Alec. “I’m fine,bro.” I said in the mind-link. Putting gloves on, I started cleaning up my mess.

“I don’t trust him.”

“Emmy will be with me and dad will kill you if you are late again.”

“Fine. I want to know the exact minute he is gone.” It was a command but we both knew that didn’twork on me.

“Yes, sir.” I said sarcastically.

The three boys got up and headed towards the door. “I shouldn’t have to tell you to treat my sisterappropriately.” Colt said to Alec.

Alec’s eyes narrowed at the threat but didn’t act on it. “I don’t make it habit of disrespecting woman.”

“Ice.” He looked at me and nodded before leaving.

“Sorry about that. Have you made a decision?” I asked as I threw away all my used items.

“Yeah, I would like to book it.” Spraying down the chair, I whipped it clean. “Are you the only artisthere?” He asked as I was making my way up to the counter.

“Yes. This is my shop and mine only. Maybe one day I will expand.” Fl*pping open my calendar, I saw Ihad an opening tomorrow. “I can do tomorrow at 4pm. We will see how much you can sit through andgo from there an future appointments.”

“Okay. I train in the morning so that will work.”

“Here are forms you need to fill out. Leave what you have sketched and come back with them filled outand the cash.” Handing him an envelop, and he handed me the picture.novelbin

“What are these forms?” Alec asked.

“Saying you understand who I am, what pack I am from. That you are doing this freely and all the smallprint stuff. This is a legitimate business that I file taxes on. Just the same as the packs do.”

“Okay, then. See you tomorrow.” Alec headed towards the door.

“Alright.” I said walking out from behind the counter. I didn’t have any appointments this afternoon.Emmy and I were going to go for a run and hang out.

As soon as he was out the door, Emmy started in. “Holy f u ck. If you don’t f u ck him, I will!” She was alittle horn dog but she did have a line. As much as she k*ssed around, she still had her virginity. All talkand not much action.

“Colt would literally kill him.” I said as I grabbed my purse. It was the beginning of summer and dam n ifit wasn’t still 80 degrees at 7pm. I had drove my motorcycle and so did Emmy.

“Wouldn’t that be a dream match?” Walking out, I locked up my shop. Looking at the design, I couldn’thave been happier with what I have accomplished. Emmy walked to her bike and I stood in front ofmine.

My purse was a backpack style so after adding my keys and stuff to it, I grabbed my helmet and put iton. It wasn’t until my legs were straddling my bike that I noticed Alec across the street, looking directlyat me.

It gave me goosebumps. “Something like that.” I said. I knew he could hear us know. The shop wasbuild to be sound proof, the outside, not so much. “Come on, I need to run off some energy.” Startingmy engine, I waited till she was ready before we rode past him. His eyes stayed on me the whole time.

There was something in them that I didn’t understand. Something primal.
