~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
~ Josie ~ I’ve never sought male company to stay with me all night, but there is something suddenly cold about my bed, about being in it alone. However, as I tiptoe across the landing towards the corridor that houses the guest rooms, something feels right. Cleo and Ares have left, Uncle Orph
“Actually no.” I cut him off, my hand raising in front of me. “No?” “No, I don’t want those things.” Well yes, but not in how he is implying. George is the closest I got to thinking I could choose someone to be with me, but his recent actions have made me think the complete opposite now. I’d mu
His lips are at my entrance before I know what he is doing, his lips sucking on my small bud as his fingers probe my lower core, separating my lips to gain better access. My hands roughly pull at his hair as I try my best to keep my moans of arousal hushed. I even place a pillow over my face to h
~ Josie ~ Deep breath in…relax your shoulders…remember I’m the one in control of my own destiny. Bang! A direct hit. I was leading weapons training in an hour, my nerves kicking in. I didn’t care before, but knowing Jaxon would be watching…watching and ready to criticise at anything has made me s
~ 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
