~Josie~ That feeling of complete forgetfulness when you open your eyes but your mind hasn’t clicked in yet…that feeling is absolute heaven. As I open my eyes, I find Dad sat next to me on the sofa, my legs on his lap as he flicks through the TV channels. It must be early morning, why were we he
“Have you been up all night?” “Yes and don’t change the subject. I have faith in him.” Then at least one of us has. The fact that he has already gone speaks volumes to me and I actually get it. I don’t think I would stay in a house where I had just dumped someone…I barely hung around long enou
~ Knox ~ This has to be one of the worst motels I have ever stayed in. I picked it because it was off the beaten track and near woods…which if I couldn’t keep my wolf at bay meant I had somewhere for him to escape into. I was very much in human territory right now. As it stands, I’ve been able t
“We launched a search party for her, she was frozen…almost hypothermic. There’s been a miscommunication between the two of you, between what you both want…that happens in relationships. But don’t ever leave the woman you care for alone unprotected in the cold. She collapsed when Lobo and I found her
~Knox~ “Where did you go?” Jaxon grunts, looking over his phone as his question pulls my attention away from the front door. “Uh, just a trash motel. I just needed to reflect before finalising the report.” I respond biting down on my wolf’s need to go after her, he’ll have to wait, even if I grant
“Not yet, I’ve sent trackers out and the warriors have been pushed out a few miles out past our borders. What do you think?” Alpha Hector pauses the footage, placing the lights back on. “What enemies do you have?” I’m fully aware I’m my question is blatant but they have no time to waste. “None!
~ Josie ~ Just concentrate on work, by the time you get home he will have gone. He will have grabbed his clothes, his belongings and exited your life forever. I didn’t expect him to be at the bottom of my stairs this morning, thankfully I wore one of my new outfits…something I bought to make me
“Okay, well I’m working right now…” It’s hard to keep my voice sounding unfazed by his closeness to me as he takes a step into my room. “Josie…” Just the way my name sounds on his lips makes my lower core tremble. Soon he’ll be calling another female in the same way…I can do this…I can get past th
~ 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
