Thank you all for reading!
“My three friends and I were playing secret agents. Cassie, Molly and Eva. We were wanting to spy on my parents so we ran into their bedroom. Since they were not there, we hid in the closet. After a few minutes, they still didn’t show up so we started playing patty cake to pass the time. After around thirty minutes, the bedroom door flew open and my mother was tossed inside. We watched as her body landed against the dresser. She was naked, covered in blood but her eyes landed on me. I’ll never forget the fear I saw in them as she spotted us girls. One of the girls screamed and the killer found us. He wasted no time in sticking his hands into Cassie, pulling her heart out. Molly tried to get me to run but I was frozen. Unfortunately, he got her next. I watched as he bit into her neck, spraying me with her blood. Eva was able to get me to move out of the back of the closet.” I paused as I took a few breaths. “I wasn’t quick enough and he grabbed my ankle. Eva tried to get him off of me b
“The proper way to address me is King Thomas.” “You will never be my king and actually if you want to compare strengths, my aura will be stronger as I am the rightful heir.” “Is that what you believe?” He asked, like he knew something. “It is. Even nature knows that you are a crook.” My face was passive but my emotions were not. Him questioning me was more than I think I could have handled if Waylon wasn’t there taking away my anxiety and anger. “I can see you are a little emotional but I will let the disrespect slide, since I am a forgiving King and all.” He paced in front of me. “What evidence do you have that I actually killed your parents, my brother and sister-in-law?” “My own eyes.” “No blood was found that was mine? No hair or anything?” “You had gloves on and we will let the new examiners tell us what was found after they tear apart that room to find the answers.” “That is your hope. So when it comes down to it, it is your word against all the mounting evidence a
Waylon POV The entire helicopter ride, I was restless. The further I got away from Charlotte the harder it was. Or Hailey? Do I call her Hailey now? Either way, I just had a terrible feeling that I was going to the wrong location. “What’s wrong?” Axel asked. “I don’t know. I just feel like the danger isn’t at my pack. I feel like Hailey is the one in danger.” Loosing my tie, I started to sweat. “What is going on with you?” Axel felt my head. “I don’t know. It’s like-” “Seatbelts! We are descending.” Looking down, we were at my pack. So far, everything looked… empty. Jessica and Ky were standing by the landing doc. As we went down, my hand fumbled with my phone. “Dude..” Axel looked concerned. Finally, we touched down. It took me a couple of tries but I was able to get the door open but my legs gave out and I fell to the ground. “WAYLON!” Jessica yelled as she ran forward. “What’s wrong with him?” Ky asked. “No idea.” The helicopter took off as soon as we were out. Didn’t
Waylon POV “My fucking head.” I moaned. “What the fuck happened?” “Hailey happened.” Jessica was standing beside me, pushing something onto a tube. That tube was in my arm. “What’s wrong with Hailey?” It still sounded weird. “I don’t know what happened, Waylon. One minute you were fine and the next it was like you overdosed on wolfsbane.” Axel stated. Nova was in the corner just staring out the window. “The blood pack?” I asked, looking at Jessica. “I believe so. I think when you guys left, someone poisoned Hailey.” Jessica answered. “I can’t get through to Lilith. Waylon, she was with Hailey. There are only two options. Either Lilith drugged her or Lilith is in trouble too.” Axel firmly stated. “By treating you, I can treat Hailey. Well, that is if has anything to do with the blood. You guys share a blood so when she got poisoned, you did too. That’s why people don’t do blood packs anymore!” Jessica slapped my arm. “Hey! It saved Hailey’s life!” I answered as I closed my e
Waylon POV By the middle of the next day, Jessica had already given me four syringes of the antidote for wolfsbane. My body was literally exhausted. As much as we brain stormed the discomfort I was feeling, we could not figure out what she was doing. There was times when there wasn’t any pain for a few hours. Other than that, there was a constant sting of pain in my arm or legs. Occasionally, also in my head or back but that was random. We were sitting in my office when Axel barged in. “Look at the news!” Jessica quickly grabbed the remote and turned it on. ‘Breaking news! I am currently standing outside the palace where it has been confirmed that the newly appointed Queen Hailey has been kidnapped. Shortly after the alleged confession of former King Thomas, Hailey was grated an acquittal from her charges. The power was immediately transferred from Thomas to Hailey, making her queen. Quickly after, her attorney, Lilith St. Claire, took her up to her room for safety reason as Thomas
Waylon POV I was fucking pissed off. By the time I had made it to the territory in Iowa, the rain was pouring down. Ky thought it was best to invest in waiters to get through the territory without getting exposed to the wolfsbane. My fucking ass was walking for miles in the pouring rain, in a general direction that I wasn’t even sure was the right way. The smell of wolfsbane was enough to make me feel like I was being poisoned. I’m pretty sure there was more water in my waiters than on the fucking ground. When I got my hands on James, I was going to strangle his fucking ass. My socks were wet, my feet were cold and the water that was collecting made this walk ten times harder. Somehow, I was managed to stumble upon a cabin. It was tiny but still, there was footprints all around it. One small window allowed me to see in from the back. My heart sank to my stomach as I realized it wasn’t the place Hailey was being kept. No, this place had a couch and table in it. Maybe this was where
“Plus, you don’t have a son.” The lies she was telling me were really piling against her. “Yes, I do!” My hand wrapped firmly around the back of her neck. The force it took to shove her head down was minimal but the fear in her eyes as she looked at the wolfsbane soaked grass was huge. “Try not to lie to me again. Next time, I will be less forgiving.” I whispered in her ear. There would be fingerprint bruises around her neck. “It wasn’t like that! Thomas fucked everything up.” My stomach turned in disgust. How did I ever date her? “Why don’t you tell me what it is like, then.” Allowing her to stand back up, I gave her a gentle nudge to keep her moving. My head started to feel a little woozy. As my heart pounded, I knew what was going on. Reaching into my pockets, my fingers wrapped around the syringe. Lilith was walking away from me but I wasn’t able to make out her words. Biting the cap, I was able to pull it the needle free and stab myself in the shoulder before it got wors
Hailey POV “This fucking sucks.” I moaned as I sat there. My legs were exhausted. At one point, the branch I was standing on broke and I fell. The toxin was unforgiving as I landed on my back. Even though I was quick to get up, it still took any strength I had gotten back. Currently, I laid on my back, in this massive tree. To my right was a cliff side. To my left was a river. Straight ahead was even thinner forage that I didn’t believe would hold me. At some point, I must have gotten turned around. The affects of the toxin were swimming in my brain but it was fading. Not as quickly as I hoped but still was. The sun was shinning, finally. The dress I had on was torn but still covered the main parts. Maybe I should just lay here until I get my wolf back. Then I can transform into her and this would be much easier. What a cruel world I live in. I was queen for like an hour before I wasn’t again. The sound of a twig snapping caught me off guard. Every instinct in my body told me to h
