My mom comes in about five minutes later with a pill. “Don’t be mad. Sweetheart you need to sleep. All this work you’re doing isn’t good for you right now, you need to rest and let your body heal.” She pleads, handing me what I assume is a sleeping pill. I sigh, fucking Mia. I take it from her, promising I’ll take it as soon as I was done with this math assignment. She reluctantly agrees and walks away letting me finish. I set it on my side dresser, having no intentions of taking it. I need to stay aware; I can’t risk sleep right now.I put my headphones in and get back to work, I don’t stop til I see a figure standing in front of me. I pull my headphones out of my ears quickly and shuffle to the head of the bed as far away from the figure as possible. My body groans and I wince at the pain of the sudden movement. I don’t even know who it is, my flight reflex just overpowering me. Once my body finally comes back to me, I start to focus on who’s in front of me. “What the fuck are you d
Cole just mind-linked me that Amy was sleeping, I let out a breath of air. She says she doesn’t trust us and doesn’t want us anyway near her. I really don’t get it, but I really don’t understand why Dallas is the last of us she wants to see. Dallas has been there for a while now he was the one who brought her into our group. I feel bad for Dallas, he really doesn’t seem to understand why she’s being like this.“I think Mia knows more than she’s telling us.” Dallas says, as he paces across the room. I look up and nod. “I’m sure she does, because we know nothing. There’s no way Amy’s told her nothing.” I respond. “We could see if your dad would Alpha command her.” Walker suggests. That’s not a bad idea. My dad wants to know what’s going on as much as us. My eyes widen at the idea, and I race upstairs to my dad's office, Walker and Dallas in tow.I don’t bother knocking and race inside. He looks surprised then amused by us. He chuckles, “What can I do for you boys?” He asks, and we expla
Fuck! We were all finally starting to get along so well. She even finally started wanting to include me. When she said she wanted me at her birthday dinner I was surprised, but so happy. I was finally being included by her, after everything I’ve done. All the ‘friends’ in the world, but lately the only one I cared about is her. And now, to find out how much me leaving her when we were young affected her, I want revenge. I stand up, ready to go find Clara. “No! We still don’t have proof! You are not allowed to do anything until we know for certain!” My dad shouts, reading my mind. Unfortunately, for Dallas he was the closet thing to me at the time. I throw him to the ground, screaming curses and charge out of the room.I went down to the game room and started pacing the floor. I hear Walker and Dallas join me. “Why the fuck are they saying we set her up!” I scream looking over at them, when I notice Mia came with them. “I think it’s pretty obvious.” Walker states but doesn’t elaborate,
I got out of two weeks of going back to school, not including the days I was in the hospital. And once Liam let Cole and Walker be my sole guardians, I slept most of the second week. My doctor says I’m good to go back I just have to be careful of my head. The fracture in my skull hasn’t completely healed. I still have my cast on my arm, but I guess that’s safe since it has protection. My ribs don’t hurt that much anymore, and my bruises are all a gross greenish yellow color, almost healed. I’d like to just stay home and finish everything at home, but I know my mom would want to stay here with me, and she can’t afford to do that. So, I guess I’m going back to school tomorrow.It’s for the best maybe my protection detail will decide I’m healed enough to take care of myself and leave me alone.I walk outside the next morning, finally taking in the fresh air, and see I’m not that lucky. Liam’s car is parked in front of my house and he’s outside it, waiting for me. I internally groan, alre
I sneak through the doors, and head outside. I sit on one of the giant rocks lining the parking lot. I try to take a couple deep breaths, but my ribs proving it pointless. I sigh and put my head in my hands with my elbows on my knees slightly uncomfortable with a cast. “Thinking about leaving?” I hear Walker say behind me. I groan loudly and look back at him. I move my head so fast I nearly lose my balance. Walker runs over and places me up right back on the rock before I can hurt myself more. I can’t take it anymore and I just burst into tears. I hate that I’m letting him see this, but I can’t stop them. I pull my knees to my chest, forgetting about the pain it causes, and cry into my legs. I hear Walker get closer to me and before I know it, he’s picking me up. I don’t fight him and just let him take me wherever he wants. At this point if he’s taking me to a trap I don’t even care. I just want this all to be over.He slides me into his suv and buckles my seatbelt. Then he gets to th
Me and the guys are standing in front of Amy’s house waiting for Walker to get here, when we see his suv. Walker parks and jumps out and goes to the passenger side. He opens the door and then leans in and grabs Amy bridal style from the suv. She’s sleeping soundly in his arms, and I can feel my anger starting to amp up. I go to grab her from Walker’s arms, and he pulls her away from me. He seems to think of something and then allows me to take her. I shoot him a what the fuck look, to which he just shrugs and looks down at Amy.I carry her up the stairs, and lay her down on the bed covering her with blankets. I start to leave when she grabs my hand. I turn around quickly to see if she needs something, and her eyes are still closed. “Liam, I’m sorry about all of this. I wish I was a wolf so maybe none of this would be happening.” She opens her eyes and looks up at me, her eyes are brimming with tears. “Don’t you dare apologize. None of this is your fault. We like you just the way you a
Later that night, my party has started and I’m already over it. My parents both left and went over to Amy’s for the evening. It’s a rare day in this life when I’m jealous of my parents, but I’d do anything to switch shoes with them right now. This whole party has been like I expected, all the girls walking up to me hoping to be the future Alpha’s mate.I hear some commotion near the door, and see Clara, Olive and Kylie walking in. They all three are dressed to the nines and start stalking over to me. Not really sure what Clara is doing, she’s only seventeen, even if she is my mate we wouldn’t be able to tell yet. I groan inwardly and swing my head to the guys. They all have murder written all over their face. We’re all pretty sure she’s the reason Amy was attacked, so in conclusion also the reason we’ll never see her anymore.She gets to me and throws her body on my lap and swings her arms around my neck. She’s acting as if I didn’t completely ghost her. “Happy birthday, sweetie!” She
Do you ever wake up and feel like you’re dreaming? Like everything that is happening to you can’t be real? That’s how I feel. If it wasn’t for the pain in my bones I don’t even think I’d believe any of this was real. It can’t be real, and yet, I can feel Liam’s warmth flowing through my body right now. A memory that I have tried to forget for six years comes rushing to me.I run outside, the day after the talk with my mom, explaining we were humans amongst a werewolf pack. I’m so confused, has Liam always known? How did I not know about this? I run across the street and race through Liam’s front door. He’s not in the living room or kitchen, so I run upstairs to his bedroom. I still don’t find him so I run down to the game room. Where is he?Liam’s mom calls to me, telling me he’s out back, so I rush out back. Once I get out there he’s with some of his other friends, Walker, Cole and Dallas. They’re sitting in a circle in the middle of the yard, seemingly having an intense conversation
My body shakes in Liam’s arms as he makes me cum for a third time. And we hear a knock at the door.Our breathing labored I glance towards the door, while Liam lays his head into my neck, sighing. “You should probably save some water for the other patients.” Cole laughs, and I groan. Having had forgotten that there were other people in my room.Goddess, how much did they hear?Liam chuckles, ‘Just enough to leave quickly.’ He says in my head, and I groan again. “Let’s get you dressed. You have company.” He says smiling as he places me on my feet.Once I’m dried and dressed I make my way out of the bathroom. Falling to my knees to grab hold of my babies as they race towards me.“Oh, I missed you two so much!” I say between kissing their faces and hair. They giggle, “We missed you too, Mommy!” Heather exclaims, squeezing me tighter.“Mommy, grandma and grandpa say the bad man is gone! We can finally be home!” I smile widely and nod. A tear of happiness falling from my eye. Finally!Liam
While I’m happy I got to spend more time with my mom, I hate that she had no options in life other then to die. I grab my mom’s hand and squeeze.She gives me a reassuring smile, “I’m happy, Sweetheart. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be around for you and to watch those to babies grow up, but you’re safe now and I’m so happy it’s finally over for you.”I sigh, is it though? I’m still here. I’m still not with them.I look at my mom thinking about that. “How are you here? I thought he took souls when he killed them?” I ask.She smiles and looks over at the Goddess, “It had something to do with the fact that I’m a wolf, and the fact I was wearing my necklace. She brought me here after I passed and now, I’m essentially hiding.” She explains, with a shrug.I swallow, “For all time? Can you do that?” I ask, looking over at the Goddess, who nods. “As long as she’s wearing the necklace, I don’t see why not.”I nod slowly, then a pain radiates through my stomach. I clutch my stomach, and my m
I stare at the ceiling from the hospital bed they’ve put me on. I felt her come back, I felt the bond snap back together, but how long til it happens again.The amount of pain that caused. My heart felt like it had been hit with a hammer and then stomped on for good measure. I’d rather die.How selfish does that make me? I know my kids are waiting for me, but they’re waiting for Amy too. I can’t look them in the eyes and tell them I once again failed their mother.I can’t go through this pain; I’d rather just be with her.A flashback of something she said hits me, when she was asking where the souls her father kill end up.If I die with her, will we end up in the same place? Will I get to hold her again, kiss her, be with her. We’ve already spent too much of this time apart. I can’t live the rest of my life without her.They won’t let me see her, and I know they think I’ll freak out again, which to be fair I can’t promise I won’t, but I need to see her.After watching Dallas’s sullen
I stare up at the gorgeous Goddess in awe. As much as I don’t want to be here, this is insane.“She says she can’t see anything here. What does that mean?” My mom asks the Goddess, frantically looking between the Goddess and me.The Goddess looks down at me, giving me a soft smile. “She’s not fully here, but not fully there either.” She explains, which only makes me more confused.“Wait. Does that mean I can go back?” I ask and she smiles, “That’s up to you. Do you want to go back? She asks, and I nod frantically. “Yes, please! How?” I ask, needing to be back to everyone.I love my mom with all my heart, but as someone who lost their mom, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Especially not my kids.I know Liam will be an amazing dad, but I’m all they’ve known for so long. And I’m sure Hazel and Nick, probably all of them will step up and help, but it’s not the same as having your mother with you. I don’t want to put them through that.“That’s up to you. Something must be keeping you here.”
They’re behind those double doors for hours.The rest of the pack has started coming back to their homes, on Walker’s orders. He sent a few warriors out to clean up the mess of Amy’s father, since we didn’t have time.The sun came up and we’re still waiting. No news is good news, right?I look over at Liam when I hear his phone start ringing. He’s still sitting in the same position, watching the doors. And he makes no move to answer his phone.We all know who it is, and I can understand why he doesn’t want to answer it, but he has to. They’ll think we’re all dead if he doesn’t.I crouch in front of him, and his eyes slowly move to mine. “I can’t.” He croaks out, like it physically pains him to talk. I nod my head and hold out my hand for his phone.He slowly moves his hand and grabs his phone from his pocket handing it over to me, when the line cuts off. I’m about to call back when it rings again.I stand up and walk outside, not sure if it’ll be the kids or not, and not wanting Liam
When I open my eyes all I see is white. Where that hell am I?I spin around and still see nothing but white, as I stand here in the middle of nowhere… no, middle of nothing. ‘Liam?’ I try to talk to him, through my mind, but all I get is silence.‘Leah?’ I ask next, hoping I’m not completely alone. ‘I’m here, Amy.’ I let out a breath of relief. ‘Where is here?’ I ask her, hoping she’ll understand this better than me. She sighs, ‘I… I’m not sure.’I swallow, then look around again, before I start walking. There’s nothing to base my movements on so I just walk, hoping to find anything.The pain in my side is gone and to my surprise for the first time in forever, my body feels… Healthy? Goddess, I don’t think I even felt this way when I was younger.My footsteps stop. ‘Amy?’ Leah questions why I stopped, clearly our communications are not as good here, since she can’t just read my thoughts.‘I feel free.’ I tell her and she whimpers, clearly understanding now. Feeling this way, could onl
“No, no, no, no, no.” I whisper, as I fall to the ground with Amy clutched in my arms.Everyone was evacuated into the tunnels while we took care of this, our doctor is down there. I mind-link him to get him up here as soon as possible.Dallas falls to Amy’s other side grabbing hold of her wound and pressing to keep the blood in. Déjà vu slams into me, we’ve been here before. Covered in her blood, because of the same bastard as this time.I can’t breathe, I can’t think.Dallas looks over at me and says something, but I can’t hear him. I can’t lose her not again. Not after everything. I just can’t.This was supposed to be the end of him, not her. She was so worried about no one else dying, that she didn’t realize what would happen to us if she did.Dallas is screaming at me now, but he might as well be in another country, my mind isn’t working, I only know because my eyes are. And I can see him yelling, just like I can see Amy’s lifeless body in my arms, while her blood pours out aroun
‘Amy?’ Liam shouts in my head, desperately. ‘Don’t move! I’m fine.’ I yell back, already knowing he was about to give up all of this and come to help me, but we’re not there yet.‘Amy…’ Liam growls, clearly not wanting to listen, but I can’t respond.His hands wrap around my neck. “You think you’ve won this girl?” He spits at me, as I claw at his arms trying to remove him from my neck. He leans in close to me, “The great part about spells and rituals is they require a witch. And lucky for me yours is right over there.” He says, nodding his head towards Hazel.Though luckily for the plan, she’s not where she was a moment ago.It was up to me to get him riled up. To make him sloppy and hyper-focused. Also, lucky for me that he has the fuse of a bottle rocket, and it took next to nothing.Someone just doesn’t like having his ego dampened.A cruel smile crosses my face as I glance behind him, “You sure?” I croak out, with what little air I had to spare. Then Hazel’s hands, covered in I do
It feels wrong, being this far away from Liam, when everything is about to go down, but there’s nothing that can be done since we’re going this route.I hate this with every fiber of my being. I hate the fact that they’re all putting themselves in danger, again, to help me. If anyone gets hurt… ‘Stop. We all love you and want this for you. And don’t even pretend that you wouldn’t be the first on board to do this, if it was one of us instead of you.’ Liam says into my mind, and I sigh. ‘I love you.’ I tell him, still thinking of what could happen.I understand what he’s saying, but it really doesn’t make it that much easier. My main concerns are everyone making it out of this and Liam and I can get our kids back here safely.They deserve to not grow up like I did. They deserve the world, and hopefully this will make that happen for them.Mia walks over to Hazel and me, putting her phone in her pocket. “Dallas and Nick are in position and so is Walker.” She says, and I nod. “Liam too.”
