Chapter Twelve ~ What Am I Going To Do?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I began to stir, and my head was banging. It was all foggy like I'd been drinking the night before. I moaned lightly as I tried to sit up.
"Hey, take it easy. Let me help," Payton said softly. I opened my sore eyes and tried to focus on the blurry figure that stood beside me. She held onto my arm and helped me to sit up.
"Why do I feel so crappy? And what time is it?" I asked her in a crackly voice.
"I let you sleep in, it's nearly eleven in the morning. You haven't seen yourself yet, have you?" Payton rushed over to the dressing table, coming back with a mirror that she held in front of my face.
My face slowly came into focus and I gasped. "Oh my God! That looks so much worse than I thought it would," I said in a hushed voice as I poked at my nose.
I had two black eyes and my nose was really swollen. I prodded at the discolored skin beneath my eyes and winced in pain.
"How the hell am I supposed to walk around campus like this?" I asked Pay

“Yeah, sure. I'd love to join Zeta Beta Chi. Thank you so much for the opportunity," I replied with a fake smile plastered on my face.I have a feeling I’m going to regret saying that.In the short time I took to think about it, I knew that Payton would be over the moon, and that was all that mattered to me. She had always been there for me, and she even cut all ties with the friends who bullied me after what Kyle did to me. She chose me, so it was only fair that I did this for her. Also, I did not want to be dealing with a pissy best friend for four years of college."Oh my God! You won't regret it, I swear. You're going to have such a blast here," she squealed and then pulled me in for a hug. I know the girl was fit, but damn, that hug almost made me pass out. She squeezed me so hard I could barely breathe. Once she realized how tight of a hold, she had on me, she let me go, her cheeks stained pinker. Jumping off the couch, she put her finger and thum

We moved into Zeta Beta Chi and decided it was best not to tell Arabella what had happened back at the dorm. I knew that she said sisters come first no matter what, but I didn't want to risk it. I didn't want to have to move again already, and I didn’t want the most popular Sorority and Fraternity hating me, I'd only been here four days and already it was falling apart like high school.We were given a huge room to share, and it even had its own bathroom. Payton was in her element. I just liked the fact that the bed was the most comfortable thing I'd ever placed my ass on. It was like sitting on a damn cloud.We had unpacked all our things, then laid on our beds talking and trying to let the last few days sink in. We eventually fell asleep, and it was the most comfortable night's sleep I'd ever had.Loud shouting woke me in the morning, and when I looked over at Payton, she was sitting up, too."Where the hell is, she?" Chase shouted from somewher

After my shower, I got ready, then Payton and I walked downstairs to find Arabella. Once we descended, we found her already waiting for us by the door."Are you ready?" she asked, a huge smile lighting up her face."Yeah, I'm excited to see what stores you guys have here," Payton replied."You'll be surprised. We have some really nice clothing stores. And how about you, Aubrey?" She opened the door for us to leave."I'm just excited to eat," I said honestly.Payton laughed nervously, and then said, "Don't mind her, she's always hungry.""It's okay, so am I. It must be a track thing," she replied, sending me a huge smile that showed off her dimples, and immediately I thought of Chase.It was going to take some time to separate her face and his because they looked so much alike, but she was a nice girl, so I was going to make every effort to stop comparing her to Chase. I didn't need the thought of him ruining the friendship we mig

I partied hard, taking shots and drinking beers like they were water, following them up with chasers of whiskey. A lot of the girls gave me dirty looks, but Arabella joined me, and we had a blast dancing, laughing, and drinking. Payton spent most of her time with Connor, slow dancing, sexy dancing, sucking face, and then finally they began to walk up the stairs.Arabella watched them the whole way, and I could tell she was upset. I poured some shots in front of her. "You okay?""Huh?" she asked with confusion.I picked up a shot and pointed towards Payton and Connor with my finger, then necked the shot and slammed it down on the side. Arabella looked at them, somehow still grabbing the shot without knocking it over."Yeah, I'm fine. She's welcome to him," she said through gritted teeth and then downed the shot, slamming the glass right beside mine.I knew she wasn't fine; I’d overheard a conversation between her and Connor earlier. She yelle

Jesse got out of the car and made his way to my door, opening it and holding his hand out for me to take. As soon as I got out of the car, I tugged my dress down, and then nervously folded my arms across my exposed boobs."Are you cold, Darlin’? Would you like my jacket?" Jesse asked me, starting to remove his tuxedo jacket."Huh? Oh, no, I'm fine. It's just..." I paused, not really wanting to tell him the real reason."It's just what?" He leaned forward, and then jokingly scanned the area, looking for people that could be watching. I slapped his arm, and he chuckled.Lowering my head, I stared at the ground. "I think I'm a little underdressed for a fancy restaurant like that."I pointed towards the boat, and he ducked so his gaze met mine. With the brighter lights shining onto his face, I could see his eyes were a lighter emerald green. I gasped, my eyes moving down to find two very slight dimples.Shocked, my eyes followed him as he straig

“He's done what? What the hell does that mean? I'm not something Chase can claim ownership of. Drive me back there right now. His balls have an important meeting with my foot!"Boisterous laughter erupted from Jesse. I frowned at him. "Why are you laughing? Do you think I'm joking? Because I can assure you, I'm not!"He shook his head and replied, "I'm sure you're very serious, and that's why I laughed. Chase is really going to have his hands full with you, isn’t he?""No! Why do people keep deciding who I should be with? I don't want Chase! Especially not now," I replied as I sat back in my chair and folded my arms."Look, I shouldn't have told you. There is so much more going on than you realize, and I guess everyone doesn't want you to know just yet. Although I don't understand why," he said with a puzzled look.He started up the engine, and I placed my hand onto his arm. "Who doesn't want me to know? Who's everyone? Do you mean the Sorority or just

We quickly pulled away, and I sat in the backseat of the car, touching my lips and grinning after Jesse's kiss. I didn't expect to see him, let alone share a mind-blowing. To be honest, it was incredible and left me wanting more, but I would have preferred to have been alone and let the passion flow.He left me tingling everywhere and unable to think of anything other than unfastening my seatbelt and ripping his clothes off. Letting my mind go there made my heartbeat fly to unreasonable rates. Breathe, Aubrey, I thought to myself. Yes. It would be good to just take a few deep breaths. Maybe then I could calm myself down.But Jesse didn’t help at all. While trying to unruffle my proverbial feathers, his hand found my leg, sliding up it ever so slowly. Goosebumps danced down my arms. Taking my hand into his, he intertwined our fingers.Glancing at our joined hands and then angling my head to look at him, his smile was infectious, and I found myself grinning rig

Jesse pulled away from me, staring into my eyes while trying to catch his breath. My heavy breathing matched his, and it took everything in me not to march him right up the stairs and throw him on the first bed I could find. His chest heaved, my eyes were drawn to the muscles working under his shirt, but all I really wanted was for him to kiss me again.He didn’t. Instead, he smiled at me, grabbed my hand, and tugged me along with him. We ducked through a door at the side of the house that led into a garage, and the first thing I saw was his BMW. Winking, he grabbed his keys and hit the unlock button, dropping my hand and rushing to the passenger door, holding it open."Get in. Hurry!" he said in a rush.Giggling at his theatrics as he glided across the hood again, I jumped in the car, fastening my seatbelt as quickly as I could because I knew he wouldn’t start the car until I had. Once he took his seat, he started the engine, pressing a button on his keys to

I sat on the porch wearing my fluffy socks, fleece pyjamas, gloves, hat and a super soft grey blanket that I'd wrapped around me. Our beautiful winter was in full swing and Christmas was only a few days away. I had my hands around a large mug of coffee and took occasional sips as I gazed out over our immense snow-covered yard. Chase and Jesse, we're in the middle of a snowball fight with the kids and usually I would be joining right in with the festive fun, but being heavily pregnant meant lots of rest and sitting on my ass. I didn't mind though, I'd so can't the last few winters making snow angels and building snow men with the boys. So, it wasn't like I hadn't mad memories with them in their five years on this earth.We’d been through a lot, but life had been pretty perfect. Our relationship was sealed when I had the twins and even though we didn't know which kid belonged to who, Chase and Jesse didn't care and neither did I. We were a family and that's all that mattered. All the pa

The guys continued their game and every time I guessed the wrong guys touching or kissing my body, I was punished. From being whipped, slapped, and bitten, but how sexually aroused I was they didn't seem all that much like punishments. I didn't know if it was the heat or the fact that Jesse's sexual preferences had finally rubbed off on me. I was drenching the bed by this point and a knot had formed in my stomach from the insatiable need for them to ravish me. The treats I got for guessing correctly went from a kiss, to full on licking me out and even though I came a few times, I still needed more. I wanted them inside of me. My body wanted their seed. Chase was currently licking and gently hitting the inside of my thighs. My legs were shaking uncontrollably and I knew my body had gotten to the stage that it couldn't take the teasing any longer, so I begged Chase.“Please! Fuck me!” My words were released on the end of deep breaths and those were the only words I could manage to get o

I’d been visiting Chase and Jesse at the medical centre where they’d been kept for a few days. When I first saw them, I was in complete shock. They were black and blue, and their faces were so swollen that I couldn’t even tell who was who. Fast healing was one of the things I definitely appreciated about our breed and with them being Sentinels, they healed even faster. Today was the day that they were both due to come home and I’d worked my ass off all morning making the house perfect for their return. I wanted them to come home and us get straight on with the mating ritual, because my heat was in full swing, but the packs needed to see them too. So, I let them organise a party for them. Of course, I couldn’t attend because of my excessive pheromone production. They had been under sedation when I visited them, and we made sure no male doctors or staff were around during my visits.We sorted it out that they would have the party at my parent’s pack house rather than ours, so I just had

I was thrown onto the bed and I still didn't have a clue who was with me. I prayed to God that it was Chase and Jesse, and that my what was in full swing so I wouldn't go bat shit crazy on them and literally bite their heads off like a praying mantis. I couldn't understand why we couldn't catch a break. If the universe or fates or whoever wanted us three to be mated together and be strong Sentinels, then why the fuck were they ripping out lives apart now? Maybe it was a test to see if we deserved to have this life and be together? It didn't matter, I was fed-the-fuck-up of dealing with all this shit. I just wanted an easy and calm life. Was that too much to ask for?Whoever had thrown me on the bed placed his hands either side of my legs and leaned over me, sniffing my hair and my face. His warm breath on my cheek made my skin crawl, and that was when I knew it wasn't Chase or Jesse. I had to think fast before they had their way with me. I could feel my Sentinel powers tingling in my

I yanked my hands away from the guys and just managed to jump out of my chair and dive across the room as the wild men launched themselves at me. They weren't themselves any more, their feral instincts had taken over them. I'd seen it once before my cousin was at our house for dinner with her new mate and he ripped the whole dining room apart trying to get to her. I was only a young teenager and it scared the crap out of me. When I bonded with Chase and Jesse, I never thought about coming into heat, especially not this soon. Usually, it takes around six months, but I forget that the women in our family come into heat early. Although, never this soon. It's been less than twenty-four hours for Christ’s sake, I haven't been able to enjoy them as the men I love.“Mom! I'm in heat! Help!”While mind linking my mom, I sprinted toward the basement door. Every pack house has a safe room and ours has a nesting room. We had it set up the way me and Jesse wanted it, bit I wasn't expecting to use

I’d managed to fall asleep somehow. How I did with all that anxiety and embarrassment running through me, I don’t know. When I finally awoke the sun was rising in the sky. I could smell the morning dew and hear the birds chattering outside. Their songs were sweet, some what enthusiastic and it bought a smile to my face. But the smile was short lived. As soon as I remembered our naked escapades, the embarrassment took over again. I wondered if everyone had left. Well, I hoped they had. I couldn’t bare to face my family or the packs this morning. I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Once back in my room, I didn’t feel like getting dressed properly so just pulled on some boyfriend style panties, then tugged on a pair of black three-quarter length leggings and a gray tank top. I finished the look with an over sized gray cardigan and a messy wet bun on top of my head.I could have easily of jumped back into bed and slept the day away, but something

Chase and I kept running through the trees like giddy fawns. We couldn’t believe how lucky we'd been. Irene turning up, right when we were trying to escape seemed like fate had planned it all out for us. It felt great knowing we had a higher power on our side. Sure, I knew that if Irene and her brothers survived the Soulderians, they'd hunt down Chase. She won’t let him go that easy. I mean if she was willing to sacrifice her life by fighting the black witches, there was nothing that could stop her from getting Chase back. The triplets had been running from the Soulderians all their life, so risking her own life and her brothers meant that she did Love Chase, in her own murderous and twisted way.If it went the other way and the triplets lost, I would be next on the Soulderians list and if they managed to extract the Titagel’s powers, I doubted that we stood much chance against them. They were power-hungry and beneath Irene and her brothers, I was classed as the next most powerful bei

I didn’t sleep well at all. The stone floor made places hurt that I didn’t even know I had. But when I opened my eyes and saw my crazy bearded soul mate, my pain didn’t matter any more. All that mattered to me, was getting us out of there. I sat up and stretched. My aching bones clicked and cracked and it felt good. My noise made Chase wake up.“Morning, babe,” he said sleepily.“Morning.”I knew he'd only just opened his eyes, but I needed answers and wanted to go over some ideas on how we could escape.“How do you remember me?”“Irene cast a spell so I could remember her, but it let me remember everything.” He sat up and stretched his legs out. With his back pressed up against the wall he continued, “I had to pretend that I loved her. She was highly jealous and killed any girl that showed interest in me.”“Oh God, Chase. I am so sorry you had to go through that.”“Well, it is what it is.” He turned his body to face me and pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them. I faced

I could hear my heartbeat pounding in my ears, everything seemed to slow down and Shana's screams became deep and dragged out. I knew I had to do something but I had no idea what. Without even thinking about it, I ripped my hands away from my eyes and screeched into the air,“Stop!”Shana's screams ceased and all the cloaked men turned to face me. I glanced down at my hands and they had a glowing gold aura around them. Two of the men whispered to someone in a red cloak.“She's a Sentinel,” one said.“I thought they were a myth,” the other added.The red-cloaked man raised his hand to silence them, then approached me. When he reached me, he grabbed my face and turned my head from side to side, then stared into my eyes like he was looking for something.“Curious. You’re a very rare being, do you know that?”I yank my face out of his grip and slap his hand away from me. In a split second, he holds his hands up and red lighting shoots out of them sliding around my wrists and ankles like a
