~ Knox ~ The waiting is a living hell. The medical staff closed off the viewing area, meaning we were waiting in the corridor outside the theatre room. My body had sunk me to the floor and I hadn’t moved since. I planned to stay here for as long as it took to complete her operation. My knees we
“What?” Hector’s crestfallen demeanour shatters my already breaking heart. “Alpha Kaia demanded she was placed on to life support..I can take you to her now.” He states with a tensed tone. “I don’t understand.” Hector softly states, his hands running through his hair before landing on his jawline
~ Knox ~ I have no way of measuring time at the moment, I’ve not even left the hospital room. None of us have. I couldn’t even tell you if it were day or night outside. My lungs were stale from the lack of fresh air, my stomach past the point of hunger and my throat dry. Food and fluids have
“It is time for us to say goodbye.” I’m watching a living nightmare unfold. Each person says goodbye, each person places a kiss on her forehead and a gentle whisper in her ear. How can they so easily give up, why are they not letting her body heal. Give her that more time she needs in order to r
~ Knox ~ “Where the fuck have you been?” Both Jaxon and Hector roar at Jace as he steps further into the room. He must have just arrived, he still had a black holdall in his hands. I do a double take at first…was this really Jace? Gone were the boyish charming looks…instead he was lean, he had t
Peacefully unaware of everyone breaking down around her. She wouldn’t want this. She wouldn’t want them to live like this. Visiting her everyday, not healing…letting grief suck the life out of them. She was giving, she was healing. Sobs follow as the doctor turns off the monitor, her heart rate fl
~Josie~ I can’t help but lean into his touch, my body moulding into his hold…those tingles at his touch feel even stronger somehow. He was warm and for some reason I was cold. So cold. There was no doubt who was holding me, his potent scent was calling out to me…leather and sandalwood. I’d happily
“I knew the daughter of the White Wolf was in hiding…no Josie you didn’t die…you’ve been awoken.” Doctor Abel comments from the back, as he takes a step towards me…a big grin forming upon his face. “We must share the news.” He says as he continues to smile at me. “They already know…” I smile back
~ 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
