Brooklyn-
Standing in the middle of the warehouse, I was wondering if Shane was even going to show. It has been roughly twenty minutes since we arrived and still no sign of him. Wonder if he caught onto our plan somehow and turned around. If that was the case, I wasn’t sure how to get him to release my father.
I didn’t think it was a perfect plan, but I didn’t think it would go wrong before it even started. Even Tate was growing impatient. Even with him standing a few feet away, I could feel the tension rolling off him in waves. We have been communicating nonstop through our mate link, he was starting to get concerned as well.
Shane should have been here by now. In fact, he should have arrived well before us from what Eric was saying. He was spotted only a few miles out, by one of the guards, before we arrived. I started fidgeting with the nail on my thumbs, trying to distract myself.
“Stop.” Tate spoke through the link.
Tatum-The moment Shane put his hands on Brook and pulled her to him, it took everything in me not to react. Every tiny molecule inside of my body wanted to tear into Shane like a wild animal. The last time I let myself be overcome with my emotions, I got her hurt and it could have been so much worse. I couldn’t afford to let something happen now.“If that is all, we will be on our way.” I said to Shane.As much as I hated the idea, I had to leave with Brook’s father. The quicker I got him out of here, the sooner I could get back to getting her back. I still didn’t feel right about her being used as bait. We had the place surrounded, but that didn’t mean that he couldn’t get away with her.If he got her out of here, I wasn’t sure how long it would take to get her back, not that I would ever stop trying. I just spent over three years searching for him and his hideout, I couldn’t let him get very far. I
Brooklyn- “Just hang tight, I am working on a few things.” Tate’s voice rung through my head like a melody, calming me instantly. “What is going on?” I asked, not sure of much at this point. Other than hearing what Tate and my father were saying, I didn’t know what was going on. On the surface, it looks as if everything was going wrong. I knew I had a feeling things were not going to go as we planned. It had been too easy, but how bad were things really? Just by looking at Tate, I could see a lot was going on in his head. We had all agreed that other than Tate, no one was to link with me, that way I could continue to act the part I was supposed to be playing. Admittingly it wasn’t that hard, but if I was being honest, I wasn’t entirely acting. I was scared beyond belief. From the moment my father hit Tate, everything changed. “We have more hunters and wolves coming at us from all sides. We are going to try to get them to come inside and trap t
Brooklyn-When I finally reached Tate, he immediately grabbed me and pulled me to him. I had to clench my jaw to keep myself from screaming out, from the sudden movement it caused me. Twisting my leg slightly, I gazed down and found a blade embedded into my thigh.Reaching down, I yanked it out as quickly as I could. I felt myself become light-headed from the rush of pain and the blood loss, but it quickly faded. I have been hurt before, but it almost felt as if just being in Tate’s arms, helped ease the pain.It was as if the pain just completely subsided. I was just about to drop the blade when I thought better of it and decided to use it as a weapon. In all the time I have trained, I have yet to be trained with any form of weapon, but I had no doubt I could handle a knife. After all, I used them plenty in the kitchen, so it couldn’t be that difficult.“Are you okay?” I heard Tate ask, his breath hot against the side of my neck.
Tatum-No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get close enough to Shane to take him out. One after another wolves and hunters alike kept me away from Shane. Every time I got a glimpse of him he was standing back, just watching. It almost seemed as if he were amused by this.I just needed a small break from others attacking me, just long enough to take a break in the chaos to get to him. Every time I thought I had time to make my way towards him, I would get slammed again by someone else. I think it was time to get the ones we had hidden in the warehouse to join.While we were making waves in our attacks and knocking others out, we would probably get further if we brought more in. It would also allow me to get to Shane without being interrupted. So far it looked as if we were winning, only losing a few in the process.“It is time.” I spoke through the link, connecting to all the warriors hidden away.In just a matter of seconds and
Brooklyn-It was like a switch inside of me just flipped. I felt different, since the moment I took Chad’s heart out of his chest. If I would have known I was going to feel like this, I would have done it long ago. I don’t know why I had hesitated before, but this time when the time came to take his life, I had done so without blinking.Now I felt stronger, surer of myself and what I was capable of. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Standing here with Tate, I just wanted to end all of this with him. There was nowhere I would rather be than right here beside him as we put an end to our past and start living for our future.“I no longer care if you live or die. If what you say is true, then I have no use for any of you. You will all die today.” Shane spoke.Shane was the first one to move, running at Tate and me with a speed that was almost equal to mine. Without time to consider my next move, I quickly moved ou
Brooklyn-“Brook…” I heard Eric say aloud, yet it sounded so far away.“I don’t think she can hear you.” Another voice said, but I was unsure of who was speaking, as that voice sounded far away as well, but also slightly unfamiliar.“Is there anything you can do for him?” I heard Eric ask.“Not here I can’t. We need to get him back to the pack. There is some sort of poison on the blade.” I heard Jarod say.That is when everything clicked, I was still latched on to a very dead Shane. I had been so focused on what I was doing that I allowed myself to become oblivious to everything else. Tate had been stabbed and I didn’t even know if he was okay. Releasing Shane, I took one last look and saw that he was indeed very much dead.When I turned, I found Eric, my father, and Jarod surrounding Tate, who was still laying on the ground unconscious. Jarod was examining the blade th
Brooklyn- Three days passed by and still no signs of Tate waking up. According to the pack doctor, she wasn’t sure if he even would wake up. I found out that wolfbane doesn’t just attack us physically, but it could also attack our wolf. Unless Axel can come out of it, there may be a chance that Tate could die. Even with the wolfbane completely removed, Tate wasn’t out of the woods yet. I have been staying in the hospital room with Tate, hoping that I would be there if he woke up. I have tried many times to reach him, even Skye has tried reaching Axel, but we have had no luck. As much as I wanted to be in the room until Tate woke, I had to take on the duties as Alpha, since I was Luna. At first, I hadn’t known the first thing about leading the pack, but Eric has been at my side nonstop. We still had no idea what happened to Ryan. I currently had a couple of warriors out searching for him and his guards, but it was as if he just disappeared off the face
Tatum-“Brook!” I screamed, watching as the life faded from her eyes.I had been so sure I could protect her. The doubts I had, I pushed away, and I gave into believing she was strong enough to protect herself. When we entered the warehouse, she had been so nervous that I had no choice but to keep myself calm, at least for her sake.The worse part of it all, I couldn’t get to her. It was almost as I was frozen in time, unable to move. I just had to stand here and watch the one I gave my heart to fall to the ground lifeless. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t make my feet move forward.As she now laid there, unmoving, I kept trying to get to her. My body felt weak like it was being weighed down by an unseen force. My heart was beating wildly in my chest, feeling as if it was going to explode at any moment.“Don’t die! I can’t lose you too!” I screamed, continuing to try to force my body to move.&ld
Brooklyn-“Are you okay in there?” I heard Tate ask from just outside the bathroom door.For probably the fifth time in the past couple of days since Tate woke up, I have been hovering over the toilet. It was like I had this urge to throw up, but nothing would happen. I couldn’t even make myself throw up, even when I tried.I don’t know what was going on, all I knew is I felt miserable. Even thinking about food made me sick to my stomach. Yet when I did eat, it was as if I was starved or something. This completely sucked and I just wanted it to be over.“I don’t know.” I answered honestly.The doorknob shook, but I was thankful I at least had half the mind to lock it. The last thing I wanted was for Tate or anyone for that matter to see me like this. As far as I knew werewolves didn’t get sick in the same way humans did, but after doing some research on the computer, I was sure that maybe I had the st
Brooklyn- As soon as I felt his mouth, I nearly orgasmed at the very second. It has been far too long since I have had felt so much pleasure from him. Until he showed me the true meaning of desire, I had been perfectly fine, now it was as if I craved his touch every second of every day. My head fell back as he licked and sucked at my clit. My mind practically turned to mush as he did so, making it nearly impossible to form a sensible thought. Just when I thought I could take as much as I possibly could, he pulled my hips towards him until I was right on the edge of the counter. Out of pure reflex alone, I moved my hands to grab the edge of the counter and hold on as if my life depended on it. He lifted one of my legs and placed it over his shoulder, giving me just a bit more balance. Or at least I thought that was his intention until I felt his tongue slide from my clit and move down until it reached my entrance. In one fluid motion, he thrust his ton
Tatum-I could tell something was bothering Brook, but I couldn’t tell what it was. As much as I wanted to press on it, I kept my mouth shut. The way she nibbled on her bottom lip made me think whatever was going on in her head, she needed to come to terms with on her own time and decide if she wanted to tell me.Patiently I waited, leaning up against the kitchen counter, while she began to pace in the kitchen. I had thought maybe I could get in a shower and then take her to bed to have my way with her, but then she started acting a bit strange. It was moments like this that I wish I was a mind reader.“I haven’t been fair to you.” Brook said when she finally quit pacing.“What do you mean?” I asked, raising one of my eyebrows and tilting my head ever so slightly to the side.She didn’t respond right away, just started biting down on her bottom lip. It made me start to feel a little nervous myself, though I
Brooklyn-I waited until the auditorium cleared out before I looked over at my father. He was watching me intently the entire time, but I tried to ignore it. I don’t know why, but it annoyed me that he spoke up on my behalf. I wanted to show that I could take initiative on my own, but now I think everything was put to rest because of who my father was.“Did I say something wrong?” He asked when I just looked at him without saying a word.Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself before speaking. It wasn’t that I wasn’t happy to see him, I just wanted to make a name for myself. Now everyone knew who my father was and I wasn’t sure if others would respect me because of what I did and not who I was or who I was related to.Until recently I have been on my own. For the first time, I thought I was strong enough to be able to stand on my two feet and lead everyone. Now the question would always be there, was it I or my fat
Tatum- I wasn’t sure how Axel and I managed to get out of the state we were in, but when I had woken up and found Brook laying over me, the how didn’t matter. I was back and that was the only thing I cared about at the time. When I told her I was willing to give up my title for her, I had thought she would have agreed to it. It would have probably been a good idea to give it up either way, so I could focus on her, but I also loved being Alpha. I felt as if there was still so much more I could do as Alpha. Taking the hand, she held out to me after she asked her question, I accepted it without a word. Together, hand in hand, we made our way to the auditorium. The halls were empty, so I suspected everyone else was at the meeting, which I was kind of glad about. The idea of surprising everyone was sounding better and better with each step we took. This wasn’t the kind of reunion I had wanted when I woke up, then again nothing in my life has ever gone acco
Brooklyn- “It is time.” Eric said, as soon as I opened up the door to the room I was staying in with Tate. I had known that it was bound to come, but I had spent all night trying to reach Tate. When Eric had told me that the Elders were going to strip Tate of his Alpha role, I felt as if my world was disintegrating around me. On one hand I couldn’t care less about being Luna. On the other, I knew how much it meant to Tate by being Alpha. “We just need a little more time.” I whispered, feeling as if my heart was breaking. “I know, but they aren’t going to give it to us.” Eric said, sounding just as defeated as I felt. “He is going to wake up, I just know it.” I said, looking up at him and hoping there was something he could do. “I want to believe that, but we have to be realistic. It has been a week and there is still no change. I am not saying I don’t think he will never wake up, but we need to start looking at the possibility it could
