~ Knox ~ The music was loud, but not too loud that I couldn’t hear what the peacock dick was saying to Red. Trying to self-invite himself back to hers, what a tool. I feel my phone vibrating in my back pocket of my jeans, pulling it out to find Jaxon calling me. “Yep?” I grunt, avoiding any pleas
I look at my glass, the soda isn’t going down as well as the shots but I promised Jaxon I would keep an eye on her and the others. I can’t do that to the best of my ability downing more alcohol. I could already feel the strength of the shots I had already consumed tonight burning off, it wouldn’t
~ Josie ~ Blood is sprayed across my neck, jaw line and even my cami top from George’s split lip as his head is held against the bar top by Knox’s firm hold. “What the fuck did you just say to her?” Knox growls out, his body heaving with anger as George tries to fight against his hold. His head
I’m also not innocent in this, I am a bitch to George, completely using him for one purpose only. I’ll finish it, but I need to do it on good terms, I can’t have tension between the two packs. “Complicated how?” “He’s from my Mum’s pack…” “You are the daughter of the alphas, no one gets to tal
“You’ve told me I was too young for you before, here…when I was 16…then at the cabin.” My eyes drop down to the floor. “That was you? Shit…I had no idea.” His eyes widen I. Shock. At least he remembers me amongst his many of conquest I’m sure he’s had. He’s got an entire decade ahead of me in slee
~ Josie ~ The club security offered us a ride back to the pack. I had planned to stay at Maya’s for a few days but with Cleo now here I couldn’t leave her with my brothers for entertainment. Sitting in the back seat with the girls, my eyes keep finding Knox’s in the rear-view mirror as he sits in
As we exit the vehicle, I move in...demanding to know what has happened. “What has happened, where has Jace gone?” “We don’t know sweetheart, that’s what we are trying to find out.” Mum responds to me, her arms crossed as she looks at Jaxon expectantly. “I told you; I don’t know what is going on…
~ Knox ~ A handful of times Jaxon has let his anger get the better of him in my presence, I thought he was on top of it. The alpha training programme teaches the future leaders to navigate around pack business, handle political influence from other packs and from even within, and most importantly
~ Josie ~ “Kit?” I call out as he remains by the window, complete dread washing over me, his back has tensed and his hands were balling into fists. I could feel the invasion, like a virus trying to take over my senses. Severe nausea warning my body that the pack was in danger. I could feel the
~ Josie ~ “What, this isn’t his pack?” “No, best thing Dad did was hire him. That’s why he doesn’t get involved in the politics here…most of it is powerplay amongst the pack members that also work here. He’s here for the patients.” “Why am I just hearing about this?” Kit’s voice is low, his eyes
I’ll be that axe that cuts his head off. I lay Red gently down on the bed, my disbelief at her current state, of not even knowing what had happened. I turn to look at him, back at her. Her dress had been ripped up to her thighs, her face had an imprint of being backhanded and she had blood acros
~ Knox ~ “Maybe I should go after him…see what I have done to affend him?” Cleo continues to chew at her fingernails, she had been a nervous wreck since Jace stormed out, Josie following him. “I keep telling you Cleo, you haven’t done anything wrong. It’s his problem, not yours. Just leave him to
His face inches from mine. He was drunk, I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I hated him drunk, always have. “You need to get back to the party George, I can’t talk right now.” I try to push him off me but he doesn’t budge. “I’m not here to talk…” The corner of his lips curl up, his eyes v
~ Josie ~ “Jace!” I scream out, trying to push on the mind-link between us again but he continues to block me out. I take a step closer to him, to bridge the large distance between us, but he roars out at me. A warning not to come any closer. My wolf pushes forward in a defensive move, she wou
He places his arm around her shoulder, whispering something in her ear which gains a shy chuckle from her, only for him to pull her onto the dance floor. There was a time Jace and Cleo were thick as thieves, that he would defend her even to her own father…I don’t know what is going on with Jace,
~ Josie ~ Of course he would be here, members of the Clear Waters pack were also invited, leaving only a select few behind to keep any eye on the borders. This was a pack party on both sides after all. The celebrations were in full swing. Music played by a live performer and back up band, a
“Just remember…keep your focus on Dad. He will be waiting for you at the end of the aisle.” She nods gently, before glancing at herself one final time in the mirror. Here we go… I lift her long train, gathering the excessive material in my hands; to aid her down the staircase. Praying that she do
