~ Josie ~ By mid morning my eyes were heavy and I was struggling to stay awake. Of all days, today I had left to write my reports on the recent treatments of patients that had been signed off Doctor Abel’s care in the past month. Hindsight can be a bitch…if I had known I wouldn’t have slept last n
“What do you think?” “No Josie, what do you think?” “Erm..” I pause to think on the next best course of action. My eyes scan the room above, his dark aura causing hospital members to now leave the viewing platform. He hadn’t been there a moment ago, but now he was and his face was thunderous.
~ Knox ~ If I sleep any longer, I think I will go mad. I’m not a sleeper, I’m not a rest person…there’s always been too much at stake to take my eye off the ball. Plus, I get bored if I’m not moving, if I’m not thinking. I’m a strong werewolf, I was created to move, it’s in my DNA. So having sp
I’m an Alpha trainer, not a dog whisperer. “Where is Josie?” Hector demands of his eldest born, Jaxon. “I don’t know, still at the hospital.” “She better not be, I told her to be back by now.” His thick aura is unleashed upon the room. His usually controlled demeanour slipping. Figures that the
~Josie~ I wake up feeling warm, something I never feel. My mind is stirring but my eyes are still closed, trying to force my mind into submission. My body was still exhausted but my mind was trying to wake up, trying to register something…trying to think. Then I realise…it doesn’t recognise m
“He didn’t say…” “Jaxon…You would tell me?” “Josie, he really didn’t say.” Perhaps that is the case, for Jaxon to have gotten so angry last night, he was using it to hide behind the real issue…he was hurt. Walking into my room I find Cleo sat on my bed scrolling through social media on her phone
~ Knox ~ I observe and don’t comment on Josie entering some kind of weapons vault in the basement of the alpha house. She selects her usual gun but I watch in horror as she empties the bullets and changes them to silver ones. “What are you doing?” I grip her arm firmly, her head whipping to mine
Stepping out of the alpha house into the main courtyard area, we find two warriors remaining, the rest no doubt already racing to the borders. “Shouldn’t you be at the borders?” Josie demands of them. “We were told to escort you miss.” “Unbelievable…very well.” She nods at them before turning
“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
