“Just give me a day…a day to check everything. I will take you to the beach tomorrow myself.” I couldn’t particularly argue with that can I? He just wants to make sure everything is to his liking, that the borders are secure whilst we are here. A day without swimming in the sea won’t hurt me, I c
~ Knox ~ What am I meant to do with this information, with this dark past involving Josie’s own parents. Her own mother. Potentially involving her, putting her at risk. A threat I don’t even know, a threat she is blind to. I’m starting to understand why Hector had approved all her training,
*Trigger warning, small injury to a minor…know your limits. However this scene isn’t mentally graphic or overly descriptive.* ~ Josie ~ “Help?” A desperate scream calls out behind us. I turn, looking over Knox’s shoulder to find the corridor clear. “Over here.” I call out to the voice screamin
“Okay Petra this is what I need you to do. I need you to stay calm and breathe through this mask. I’m going to be over there with Kieran, remaining in your line of vision. I’m going to assess his injuries and help him the best way I can.” I gently but firmly state. She nods in confirmation as I pl
~ Josie ~ It’s a heated glow, I can feel the warmth emitting from my hand. Feel the static energy running between my finder tips as they embrace Kieran’s shoulder. I yank my hand away, inspecting my palm in utter shock. Was I imagining things, how was that even possible… I slam my eyes shut b
“She did a great job, right Doc?” He playfully asks, trying to diffuse my rising paranoia. Taking the attention off me and onto him. “Hmmm…” She shines a small torch into Kieran’s eyes, assessing him for brain injury. She then places a stethoscope to his heart before placing it back around her sh
~ Josie ~ “I think your Mum might know more about this than she is letting on.” Knox’s eyes are so piercing that they hold mine longer than usual. “What do you mean?” I blink deeply breaking that intense gaze of his. “We need to leave…now.” He reaches for my weekend bag placing it on the bed,
~Josie~ The entire journey has consisted of Knox staring daggers at me through the rear view mirror and me ignoring him entirely. My body ached, I needed to stretch my legs, I needed a toilet break but he pushed through…and I was too irritated with him to even ask. Thankfully Lobo slept the enti
I move towards Callie wrapping my arms around her shoulders and placing a kiss on the top of her head. She was mine, I had to act like she was mine. The distant ringing of the telephone from the Alpha office is heard, Mum leaving the kitchen to answer it. Her soft joyful tones at the caller no lo
~ Jace ~ It felt good to be in wolf form, liberating. Not having to watch my back, be mindful of being seen…here, I could be free to roam the fields and woodlands of the Dark Phantom pack lands. I could shift as many times I want without fear of being seen by a human. I had been on border pa
But as soon as Jace finds out he is the father, then all hell will break loose. The relationship between the Varon’s and us will become strained. Which will isolate my brother as alpha. That is a risk I cannot take. “Cleo?” Concern is edged upon my brother’s face, his brows furrowing as he moves
~ Cleo ~ Jace has found his mate? The words that leave Mum’s lips are like a thousand knives being stabbed into my heart. My heart…not bleeding out, no that would be far too easy. Instead it feels as if my heart has been torn into a million tiny pieces…then set on fire…just to really make 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
