I’ve been planning this party all week; I already have the horse and bounce house. I don’t know if Cole was serious or not, but figure it’ll be funny either way. Liam’s yard is going to be a carnival. Like, literally. I’ve hired a carnival to come out. Should be fun. Luna Julia gave me her card and said have fun, so I did. I know it was probably just to take my mind off things, and it has helped. Everybody will have fun, even adults, so I figure it’s a win win.I haven’t had a nightmare again. Since Liam’s been sleeping with me, my sleep has been peaceful, which is nice. I’m out in Liam’s backyard, directing people where to go. I can feel eyes on me, I always have eyes on me. They’re always watching me, waiting for me to snap. But I honestly feel okay. There’s still a sadness I don’t think will ever go away, but keeping my mind off of it really seems to be helping. I just refuse to look across the street, I don’t want to think about all the memories in that house. I’m trying to keep e
Look, I know its only mid-May, but it was a highly requested. The line starts with Cole, Dallas, me, Liam, Mia and ends with Walker. We make it through the first half with minimal scares. Though, Cole keeps pretending that everything scares him, making the haunted house more funny then scary.Liam’s leaving a little space between us, letting me try and be a little more scared and have a little fun. I walk around a corner, not too far behind Dallas. When something grabs my arm, there’s instant pain a little above my wrist with how hard they’re holding. I look over and see bright red eyes and creepy ass smile, in the black lights overhead. It’s him! I scream and throw myself at Liam. “Hey, it’s okay. It’s all fake.” He tells me, I slowly pull my head out of his chest and look at the spot. There’s nothing there. I shake my head, “No, he was there!” I yell and grab onto Liam tighter. He looks and starts to push at the wall, and it opens up. He looks back at me worriedly. Dallas immediatel
We get to the Alpha’s office, and John and Julia are already waiting for us behind the desk. Liam and I walk in and take the two seats in front of the desk. And we wait. The tension in the room seems to build higher the longer they stare at us. They clearly don’t want to tell us what they need to.Finally, Alpha John speaks up, “Amy, there’s a lot that you're going to learn. It won’t be pretty. Are you sure you’re well enough to handle it?” He asks as he stares into my soul. I mean I don’t know if I want to know, but I do know I need to know. Maybe this can answer some of my questions. I nod, “Yes, I can handle it.” Liam squeezes my hand tighter. John sighs and starts his story.“Your mom came to us before you were born, on the run. She was very pregnant, and once we found out the situation, we decided to help her.” He pauses to take a long breath. And looks at Liam, “Have you told her the story of the moon man?” He asks. My eyes shoot to Liam, confused. Liam with the same confused ex
I look up at my parents after Amy passes out, “What the fuck was that?” I yell at them. They both look frightened by what just happened, join the club. “If I had to guess, that was her wolf.” My dad answers, I look at them like he’s stupid. “Her wolf?” Dallas asks surprised. I nod, “I’ll explain it to you guys later.” I tell him and look back at my dad, “Her wolf? When was the last time you saw someones wolf do that?” I shout, waving my hand over Amy. “Again, it’s just a guess, but Amy is usually very calm tempered. She’s probably never experienced anger to that height before. My guess is that her wolf latched onto her anger, probably being very angry herself for being kept dormant all these years and her wolf was trying to break free. Even through the magic placed on her, from the necklace.” He explains, and I look down at her. I’ve seen Amy angry, but he’s right I’ve never seen her that angry. She could be pushed up against a locker and make a joke about it. I’ve never seen her yell
A few hours later, Amy finally wakes up, and just stares at the ceiling. She doesn’t say anything but gives both of us a small smile, and lifts herself over me and off the bed walking to her room. We both follow her, and she heads straight for the shower. Once she shuts the door on us, Dallas and I look at each other, hoping like hell she isn’t regressing.She comes out in her towel, as Dallas and I wait on her bed. She sees us and smiles rolling her eyes, then heads inside her closet to get dressed. When she walks out in jean shorts and t-shirt, I instantly know we’ll be going outside today. I was hoping that she’d want to rest today, but I would guess that’s not happening. She walks over to me and throws her body into my lap; my arms instantly wrap around her tightly.Once she’s gotten whatever strength she needs from me she stands up and holds out a hand to both Dallas and me. We both happily take her hands and we let her lead us to wherever she wants to take us.She walks us all t
It’s been two weeks since my breakdown on the mountain. I’ve felt a little bit better about things after I cried everything out. I didn’t realize how bad I needed that. I’ve been trying to keep my anger under lock, because it keeps showing up randomly, and I never want a repeat of what happened that night. I never want to feel that pain again, and Alpha John said we shouldn’t let my wolf out just in case.All my friends and I are heading back from a trip to the creek. We’re all laughing because it rained yesterday and Cole decided to start a mud fight, so we are all covered in mud from head to toe. We head to the front door, and I glance across the street without thinking, and see my house. My brain instantly starts thinking about the what ifs and could have beens. I’m so tired of everybody being worried about me though, so I try and hide my thoughts.I know my mom and Liam’s parents were just trying to protect me, but that thought doesn’t help with my anger. If Liam’s dad is right, I
When I woke up and Amy wasn’t next to me, I instantly knew where she was. She had been staring at her house all day. I could tell she was feeling something, but she wouldn’t talk to me about it. I didn’t realize what she was planning, until I got closer to the house and smelled all the gas.I know one day she might regret this, but who am I to tell her no. This is what she has chosen to do, maybe it will make her feel better. She won’t have to worry about looking up and seeing the pain she went through in this house. Maybe that will bring her relief.I don’t know, what I do know is I wasn’t letting her bare the full burden herself. If one day she wants to look back and regret this, it’ll be me she blames. It’s why I didn’t ask her if she was sure, because she still could have put the blame on herself there. This way, she’ll never know if she might have changed her mind at the last second. She’ll know I threw the lighter without question.I pull Amy back to my house, when we start to h
It’s been a week of bliss with Liam. Every chance we get we’re on top of one another. I don’t know what came over me that night, but the feeling of relief to have that house gone, and him telling me he loved me, it made me see things a little clearer.We’re sitting at the dining table for breakfast, when Julia walks in. She’s going through the mail, while Liam and I are flirting under the table. I still miss my mom, there’s a hole in my heart that can never be replaced, but I have had amazing support throughout all of this. Making things slightly easier, regardless of me thinking about her daily.Julia walks over to me and holds out a small blue envelope to me. “Looks like you got some mail, sweetie.” She says as I take the envelope from her saying thank you. I look over it confused about who would send me a letter. There’s no return address on it, not even a stamp, just my name on front in cursive. That thought makes my heart beat a little faster. Whoever sent this letter must have j
After a blissful afternoon, locked in Liam’s room we head downstairs to talk to the others. We would have stayed longer if we could have but tonight’s the full moon. We don’t have time.I want to be embarrassed about what our friends witnessed this afternoon, but Liam assures me he didn’t do anything but kiss me until they were out of the room. I’m also having trouble caring. I couldn’t have stopped myself if I tried, I was laser focused on one person, my mate.Goddess, will it ever not feel strange saying that?‘Maybe for you. I however had that moment pictured in my mind for years.’ Liam says in my head, like a creep. ‘Are you just always going to be listening to my thoughts?’ I ask him, and he chuckles. ‘As long as you let me.’I roll my eyes, then realize what he said. I can’t hear his thoughts! How can he hear mine, but I can’t hear his? ‘Because you can put up a block. I don’t want to overload you, so I put it up. I’ll explain how to do it. Everyone’s entitled to their private t
My eyes open and I can see the sun shining through the curtains. I wonder how long I was out this time.Everything looks brighter, clearer, that scent. Goddess that scent! I throw my body up into sitting and look around. I’m in Liam’s room, I can smell it here, but my body starts moving before I can even give it commands.I look down, I’m wearing one of Liam’s t-shirts and it looks like some of my shorts. My legs take me to the hallway, down the stairs, through the living room and into the kitchen.My body freezes, ‘Mate!’ My wolf exclaims, just as Liam turns from putting a plate in the sink. My brain doesn’t process anything as my feet carry me to Liam and I jump into his waiting arms.Our lips clash in the next second, and it feels like I’ve come up for air. Like my bodies been held under water my entire life and I can finally breathe.I hear cheers go up around us, but I can’t focus on anything except my body pressed against Liam’s, my mate! Goddess, I never thought I’d say those w
This can’t be happening. Not again. She was left alone for five seconds! No!I watch as Dallas paces back and forth along the street, looking for her. Her scent disappears after we leave the porch. The only other scent is ours!Did her father find her?Everybody is looking, but we won’t find her. Not by scent, and she’s been gone too long that we’d see her.My mind races, as I try to figure out anything. Try to think of any plan. “Do you think maybe she ran again?” Cole asks softly behind me. A low growl leaves my throat.“How do you suppose she did that, Cole? She could barely walk! You think she just took off?” I scream at him. He puts his hands up, “Hey, I’m just pointing out all the possibilities! It wouldn’t be the first time!” He screams back at me.Already everybody is on edge. Fuck! I scoff, my hand running down my face. Then turn away from him. We’re just going to keep butting heads if I stay and argue.Hours we search for her. Hours! I can’t believe she’s gone again. The tho
Breathing heavily, trying to stay conscience, I look up at Andy. Who has taken a break from destroying me. “Why?” I ask, because he was never nice to me, but to team up with Clara… For this…He turns glaring at me, then shrugs. “Guess you won’t be leaving this room anyway. She’s, my mate.” I feel all the blood in my body freeze. What?!I’ve always been told mates mean everything to people that get them. Yet, he’s watching his mate try to get with someone else?“She’s going to become Luna, then kill Liam. Then I’ll be Alpha when she marries me.” He says with all the confidence in the world. I just shake my head at him, “She’s using you.” I tell him.He snarls at me, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” He growls and I grimace. Not wanting him to continue beating me.“I know she’s loved Liam for as long as I can remember. I know she’s done everything to get rid of me to get to him.” I try to make him see. He just snarls again, “It’s all apart of the plan!” He shouts, coming to st
After throwing up black liquid for what feels like forever, I finally brush my teeth and walk out to the living room.Liam hasn’t left my side since I entered the bathroom, but Dallas grabs my hand as soon as I exit. Pulling me and Liam next to him, so he can be close to me.I lean my head on his shoulder and sigh. The pain in my stomach still there, but less. They walk me over to the couch, and I look for Hazel.I see her standing over the desk, holding all of her books and ingredients as she searches for something.She senses me looking at her and sighs heavily, then looks over at me. “I’m so sorry, Amy.” She whispers, and Dallas and Liam both tense next to me. I look at her confused, “For what?”She closes her eyes, taking a deep breath. “It didn’t work.” She says, then turns back to her things.It didn’t work.It didn’t work! All of that! And it didn’t work? I go to stand but can’t find the strength to fully pick myself up.“Damn it!!” Liam yells, standing next to me and helping m
We all stand in the field, waving good-bye to the helicopter until it was completely out of view, per Heather’s request. Granted I don’t think I could have stopped anyway, I feel like two pieces of my heart just flew away.I stand there clutching my heart, as Liam pulls me into his chest, kissing the top of my head. “They’ll be safe, and we’ll see them soon, Angel.” I nod, hoping like hell he’s right.Hoping everybody here is still standing when all of this is over. I look over at Hazel, who has tears in her eyes, and she smiles knowingly at me. “They’ll be okay.” She whispers and I nod.At least they won’t be in danger here.“Okay, let’s get this connection broken. The sooner we get things done, the sooner this can all finally be over.” Hazel says and everybody nods.We all stand in the living room of Liam’s house, while Hazel starts setting up around me.Candles at each point of a star she has placed on the ground, ingredients set up around me, that I’m not even sure I want to know
We stay up for hours, coming up with a plan. A plan to get the kids out and a plan for taking down my father. I’m trying so hard to stay awake, but I’m failing miserably. Liam keeps begging me to go to sleep, but I need to be apart of the plan. I can’t go into it half assed because I needed to sleep. The kids went to sleep a few hours ago so John and Julia are down here with us. “I don’t like this plan; I need to be here with the pack when this takes place.” John says, talking to Liam. “Dad, I get it, but you and mom are the only ones we trust to keep them safe.” Liam explains to him. Our group already got in a fight about this. I obviously can’t leave, which means Liam and Dallas won’t leave. Which means as Liam’s Beta Walker and Dallas’s mate Nick, they won’t leave. Which means Mia won’t leave. Hazel can’t leave, being our only witch which means Cole won’t leave as her mate. None of them are willing to sit aside while everyone else is in danger. So, in comes John and
Cole comes in carrying a small box of I don’t know what, but looking down at it. “Why was I sent on a mission to retrieve a bunch of random crap?” Cole says grinning looking up at Liam. Liam shrugs, “I don’t know, Hazel said she needed it.” Liam explains motioning to Hazel, Cole’s eyes follow his hand until they land on Hazel. The box of random crap falls to the ground, “Mate.” Cole nearly whispers, my eyes go wide as I stare between the two. “Hi Cole.” Hazel says casually. Cole walks over to her and kneels down next to her. “I asked for these things, specifically from you, because we needed to have a conversation before this…” She gestures between her and Cole, “was reveled.” I just gap at them, so happy that they found each other. Cole looks at the group frowning, “What conversation?” He asks, clearly not happy that he wasn’t included. I smile down at my hands shaking my head. She clearly wanted to have this serious talk, before her and Cole had their moment. Which t
I guess it makes sense that it’s my stress levels, every time the spells happen there’s some major thing happening. Granted, I’m not sure when my stress levels were ever at a normal degree lately. Liam goes on, “Okay, Hazel. Explain.” I know he wants to get this out of the way. See what explanation she has for why she did what she did to me. The plan will probably take up much more of our time than this. Hazel takes a deep breath, “Amy, you know I get feelings and can sense things that most people can’t.” She pauses and I nod. “Well, the night Nick and I got into a fight, not long after I joined you guys on the road. I had finally gotten the sense that you weren’t aware of Nick being a wolf. You were passed out in the hotel room so Nick and I went outside to talk about it. I told him I was going to tell you. I honestly didn’t really think about your father being the problem at the time, I just thought you deserved to know.” She pauses and looks at Nick sadly and he nods,
