“Only in passing..” I shrug, acting like it makes no difference to me what she gets up to. Why should it… …… Training had been pushed back this morning to make room for a heads of department meeting, again something I had been asked to sit in on. It had been drilled into me a long time ago to wa
~Knox~ I’ve seen hundreds of training grounds, thousands of training exercises but something piqued my interest about training at the Dark Phantom pack. With the meeting finished, everyone went about their normal business and I joined Jaxon and Jace as they walked towards training. I was in des
“Who won?” I snap my teeth. “I did..” The younger male steps forward, head hung low shamefully…well at least he’s got courage. “I think we will increase the alpha’s daughter’s workload today shall we?” …… “Knox what the fuck is going on?” Jace charges after me as I pull both injured males towar
~Josie~ He did this? He harmed these males…for what purpose… I’ll admit this as close to blood I have gotten in a while, usually the healing I do is for strengthening of muscles, the occasional resetting of bones, not closing open wounds. I try to control the excitement rising in me for being able
Even as I inhale the dreamy scent of leather and sandalwood, I’m fighting that urge to cave in as I perk my back out…my butt pushing back into his groin. He’ll notice I haven’t got my gun on me today. A groan escapes him as he reaches higher, grabbing the jar and looking back at me. “You don’t pla
~ Knox ~ The roar of my motorcycle vibrates through to my bones, immediately relaxing my body and mind. Whipping in-between traffic as I let my bike go full throttle, this is where I feel myself…this is my sanctuary. Somewhere I don’t need to think, just do. Turning off the main route, I follow
As the pack’s natural ambience comes to a small whisper, Alpha Hector raises his hand to say a few words…I’m listening but my eyes are scanning around the crowd. She wasn’t here. She wasn’t standing in front of the pack members like her family are doing, she wasn’t standing by the alpha family’s sid
~ Josie ~ I hate the pack runs, more because I can’t join in. It’s the only time I am reminded that I am not like them. They can’t help it, they are following the gut instinct of their very being. Why should they change centuries of tradition just for one person. They shouldn’t and as much as
“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
