I can still hear the clammoring of people cheering, only it feels like their all at a distance away and im falling , falling hard and deep into oblivion. The Hunter's Association? The Archane?was thus a dream, was I still dreaming?I reach around pinching my hand painfully. No, it was reality, a freaking God damn nightmare. Had I have asthma the shock from it all would lead me straight to my grave and my brother.My God what blasphemy had Lorenzo dragged himself into and my Uncle that's grinning away in pious righteousness. It's sickening. So sickening to see these people, so many people,humans at that revel in spilling blood. A chill crawled over me thinking of everyone. Of Halie, Rider- Jax's nephew who was yet to see the world.These people didn't think that they had families, that wolves had bonds. It will be a massacre and I saw it all just watching the revelry and intoxication of indignation swirl around these people. Everyone is depersed around me, interacting and making know
Ammoy did the worst f**king thing to me. She ripped out my heart and stepped on it, splattering it out against the muddy ground with her feet. I know she is petrified, I know leaving me, running away from me had not been an easy decision. She had made up her mind that she had to go, that this was the only way to save me. Or us by extension.This little human that had stolen the most precious and guarded thing to me, left me reeling and feeling more abandoned than anything else. It did not matter that I had lost my pack months ago, nor even that my best friend would have my head the moment he caught up to me. Moi was everything I needed to keep me from drowing in this darkness. She was the one thing that held me together, now she was gone. But against all that I might have thought or wanted, I had to let her go. I couldn't keep her here and I have nothing to offer her. I've lost my pack, my mind, and total control of every damn thing around me. The last thing I should do is demand that
I make it home and what do I find? Everything as it always has been. My parents were both in the sitting room chattingly happily as if I didn't hear a whole group of people say and oath that will scar the world we know it to be. I make a mental note to talk to them and Halie while I pack my bags, surely she should be back in Cascades by now and definely I will have to talk to her about hanging up her phone on me. As I glance around my room it finally dawns on me that I was maybe way too much over my head. I was a budding psychologist, I analyse people for a living and help them with their problems, now my life is taking a different twist. Actually, that's being modest, my life is completly upside down. I can't kill people. I especially can't kill children and these people-Hunters have no regard for life in any shape or form. They had killed a child before my face. They stuck his head on a pike, there were bodies every where when everything was done. I covered my face and rolled into a
Enzo"Running away already? Even more proof that you don’t belong here." He continues.I grit my teeth, seething to myself at my brother's lack of faith. Even if that invitation was for him, the fact that I found this place or could even break the code should be enough to have me here. But no. I'm not good enough. Well, he would just have to suck it up, I was going NOWHERE. Bet he wouldn't be like this if it was Halie. He would be leering after her. Ick. Oh for the day when he finds out Rider isn't just her boyfriend. Note to self, I have to tell Halie that I get to break the news to him. That look of horror will be worth all my future pain here."Will you give it a rest?" I chastised him beneath my breath, so just we were privy to our conversation. "What does it matter? You flinched. Practically ran away so you've already lost your place." I wish I didn't hear the desperation in his voice to get rid of me this urgently. It hurts."I wasn't running away." I defended. "I was only pr
I just committed a jailbreak A freaking jailbreak. I was also dead. Very, very dead. My hands trembled against my weakened thighs as I dug my eyes into the ground. If anyone found out my betrayal, my uncle, Enzo, no doubt he would disown me or even kill me with his own hands. I shiver at the thought of my twin taking my own life. It's such a terrifying thought. I could hear the blood pounding in my ears even as I attempted to get my breathing under control and the exhilarating thrill that flowed through me like molten lava. This was probably how Halie felt to be so reckless. I've become a Halie! And as if on cue, Oliver rather oblivious to my meltdown doesn't waste any time in attacking now that he has me all to himself without fear of repercussions from his kidnappers. "What do you think you're doing?" Oliver barks at me and I remind myself that I couldn't fold at his authority, doing my best to keep my back straight. "Do you know what you've done?""Yes. I freed you from that
Classes have ended for the day and even as I pass through my door, the only thing I want to see is my bed. I fall face first, groaning as I massaged my temples. "Four more weeks, four more weeks," I grumbled to myself. "Then I can go home away from this wretched place." "Classes were rough I take it?" A voice calls from the other side of my room, my body spinning spontaneously to recognize the intruder. Jax sits, his right foot draped over his left as he gazes at me nonchalantly. When the hell did he get here? Was I that exhausted to have not seen the hulk of a man inside my room? "Is there anyway you can use the door like a decent human? " He cocks his head, removing an apple from his pocket and a small knife, peeling it before my face. If it had been another person, I would have been scared out of my wits. Why I'd literally count on Halie to make a ruckus if she was here. But Jax isn't like that. Yes, he's terrifying in his own right- when he wants to be that is, but I've onl
Jax is an ass. He's an ass. He won't answer his phone despite my incessant calls and the only thing burning inside me is the urge to hit him over his head. I'm worried, now that I know about the demons he's dealing with, I'm not sure if leaving him to his own accord is the best thing to do. If he would only do away with his stubbornness and let Rider in. His best friend was dying to find him and make amends. To ensure that his Alpha knew that he still had others caring for him. People who wanted him safe and home. But no. Jax thinks his burden too heavy to share with anyone. It's a Alpha's burden to bear, to protect everyone from the monster that is creeping beneath his claws slowly and surely. If only the idiot understood he couldn't tame that demon alone. I sigh once more resting my forehead against the cold column of my room. I was getting more and more invested in a world that doesn't intend on having me included. It's hard even for Halie who has a wolf as her mate. I'm just the
My limbs burn, bated breaths escaping my mouth. I glance at my watch noting I had more or less thirty minutes left before I had to leave for work. Yeah, I was working. Don't get your panties in a bundle alright. I had to keep up appearances. Plus I had to eat. There's no garden here like at the pack house to feed me. No friend's cupboard to raid. Well in retrospect, there was Moi, but no. My only aching agony was the fact that Rider's car was totalled. That idiot. I move off once more, keeping abreast of my surroundings. I might not have had any present threat lingering around or even better, to my knowledge, but my instincts decided against getting rusty. The door opens with ease and I head to the shower, grabbing my towel that's draped over the top of the door. Refreshed, I grab my suit of clothing, rummaging through my cupboard annoyed to find it empty. Right, I needed to head to the store. Stomach growling and agitated, I went back through the back door, running a hand through m
