My entire body tenses as he kisses the back of her hand before walking in my direction. The tensing of my body isn’t missed I’m sure by the Alpha sitting next to me, a smirk erupting on his face as his tumbler glass lifts to his lips. “Good night Alpha.” Doctor Abel places his hand out for Alpha H
~Josie~ I was due at the hospital for midday to start my shift, giving me the perfect opportunity to fit some training in this morning in the meadow. Stretching out in my cabin with my music blaring out…Lobo unbothered sitting by the door with his eyes half opened. Half way through my training,
“But he’s not my mate.” Her bottom lip becomes entrapped by her teeth, I hate seeing her like this…conflicted. “So? Take it from someone who doesn’t have a mate, life is too short. You found a man that cares for you, that wants to be with you…make you his. Who cares what the moon thinks. I hate to
~ Josie ~ Again my shift couldn’t go quick enough, I was desperate to see Knox after work. I had made up my mind, I wanted us to give this a go, for us to be open with everyone. Yes Jaxon in particular might hit the roof, Knox was his mentor and he might not be keen on the age gap…but I don’t car
“I wasn’t expecting us to go public, I thought you wanted things to be in secret, just like me.” “I did, I do. Last night when you walked in you found me having just caught Ezra and Auntie Alora kissing. I thought it was a one time thing but they’ve been together for years, in secret. I can’t, I d
~ Knox ~ She’s recoiling from me, I can see the pain in her expression. My wolf is howling at me, thrashing at me internally to stop talking, to accept her, to take her as ours. But I can’t…how can I keep her safe, keep her away from the destruction that still follows me today. She doesn’t h
I am the best shooter in the pack…and most likely amongst the shifter community. Not every fight needs to have a wolf. But, yes, you are right, I’ve broken my promise to you. You entered an agreement of just sex, of no-strings-attached fun…and here I am trying to give you a rope to hang around yo
~Josie~ I felt like that 16 year old girl again. The one that had her entire life ahead of her. The vague hope of having a wolf appear when she reached 18, still alive like a bright candle flickering within my core, my very centre. The one that thought she knew so much, that believed even then s
“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
