~Josie~ My eyes were locked in a hypnotic state of rapture. They were pulling me towards him, like gravity and I could sense my body wanting to lean forward. To seek out that unknown sensation. Wanting more. It took all my mental capacity to look away. “Where were you?” Jace, the more jovial
“Hold up, let us finish and we’ll come with you. We need to show Knox the borders anyway.” Jaxon calls after me. “Not border patrol Son, Josie works at the hospital now.” I hear Dad correct my eldest brother just as I close the front door to silence. …. Knox, that was his name. Why have I spent
~Josie~ The tension within my small preparation room was tangible. I could feel it on my finger tips…taste it. The air remained suffocating, which isn’t something George was capable of. Black eyes turn from George’s onto my very own…my breath catching in the back of my throat. Why did he stare h
~Knox~ Closing the door, I take in a much needed intake of air…holding my breath had been the only way to control myself in such close proximity to the alpha’s daughter. Jaxon and Jace hadn’t mentioned a sister… From the moment she walked into their house this morning, all I can think about i
Something rattles me from the way this doctor talks about the alpha’s daughter, far too personal for my liking. Even the way he uses her name…I haven’t yet dared to say it…yet dared to think it. Protocol goes, she is the alpha’s daughter and should be addressed as such. Alpha Hector finishes givi
~Knox~ I was sat in a family’s home preparing for a family’s war. The fiery red head returning from a shift at the hospital, greeted by her family..and myself. I’ve never felt more out of place in my life than I do than at this very moment in time. This had the potential of heading downhill v
~Josie~ Bullshit, absolute bullshit. Bang…miss. Bang…miss again. Bang, bang, bang. The bullets were landing on the target but not hitting dead on the bullseye, which is only what I expected of myself. The anger rushing through my veins making my aim off. Standing alone in the meadow, I l
“What’s with the monster dog?” “He has a gift for sniffing out bullshit.” “Listen..” He sighs out as he lowers his hands to his side. “No, you listen Jaxon. You’ve not even been back for a full day yet and already you are trying to undermine my hard work of the past year.” He might be the future
“I mean, did somebody force you…” “What, no Mum, of course not. Why would you say such a thing?” Why would she ever think that, what a thing to say. “Well whose is it…somebody within this pack?” “No…” I close my eyes. Here we go. “Okay, so another pack…which one?” “Mum..can we not do thi
~ Cleo ~ “I don’t think I can do this.” I felt nauseous with the nerves that were crippling my body. Telling Dad was one thing…I didn’t actually tell him, Doctor Sophia informed him as the Alpha. But to say the words out loud to Mum….I don’t think I can muster the courage. “I’ll be right ne
I may not have been the one that caused Josie’s attack or the attack on the pack but I had been silent. I had ghosted my entire family…who had been through hell. Who had clearly needed me. Shame washes over me. “Look had I of known I would have…” “Stayed? I don’t know why the fuck you left for
~ Jace ~ “I knew you shouldn’t have come.” Josie turns to Knox, removing his arm from around her just as I push my chest into his. “What the fuck is your problem?” I growl out, my eyes now inches from his. He might be pissed at me, just like the rest of my family, but what gives him the right
“Yes, well he is the future alpha of this pack. Each time he takes away responsibility from Dad, his muscles expand. Once he is full on alpha, he’ll be like a brick house.” “I don’t think he likes me.” She sighs out, moving to the mirror above the sink where she checks her slightly smudged mascara
~ Jace ~ As soon as the words leave my mouth my phone vibrates in my front trouser pocket. I reach for it, pulling it out…her name flashing up on my home screen. Cleo. The one person I had hurt more than my own family…and that is really saying something. I knew what I had done, walked out on
his hand to Callie to enter into the house. Callie follows him, her long brown hair bouncing with her movement, her skin sunkissed by the recent heatwave at the hotel resort. She had travelled down in a black sports bra, black leggings and a flannel shirt which coordinated well, only enhancing he
~ Jace ~ Taking that first step back into Dark Phantom territory wasn’t easy. I didn’t call ahead, incase I changed my mind last minute. This was my home, all of my childhood memories were here. Sure, we visited the Clear Waters pack many a times, but I always feared I would never get the same
I was starting to let my body shed. “I can’t keep it.” I whisper out. “Why not?” “It would bring shame upon the family, you and Mum will never forgive me.” “When have we ever put that on you. When have we ever made you feel that way?” It pains me to see the frown form upon his face. Truthfully
