Gravity Part Fifty-Two
Juniper felt very nervous about seeing Adara again. She had made it clear at their last meeting that she wanted nothing to do with her. She couldn’t really blame her, could she? “I don’t know if she’ll show up.”On Friday morning Juniper woke up early and took a shower. The water was nice and hot. She took her time washing her hair. She turned the shower off when she felt the heat dissipate. She dried her hair and took care with her make up. She got dressed and was about to open the door when Adrian hammered on it.“What’s taking you so long?” he shouted through the door.She opened the door with an apology and sat down in front of the paper bag Adrian had brought in. She took a donut and ate it with relish while sipping the terrible coffee.“At least you look much better.” Adrian walked past her into the bathroom and Juniper smiled as she heard Adrian curse at the cold water while focusing her gaze on the terrible coffee and sipped it. The man really had terrible taste in coffee. He

Adara stood on the outside of the restaurant and wondered what Juniper had meant. Why use the back door? She walked up the block and peered around the corner. She saw a man standing in the parking area with his back to her, clearly shouting at Juniper. Juniper got into the car and he drove off in a hurry. She felt like she knew him and thought maybe he could be Adrian Peters but she wasn’t sure.She felt a stab of betrayal as she saw Juniper with the man that had killed almost her entire pack, if it was in fact him. She looked at her watch and hurried to her car. She didn’t want Kiran to arrive home before she did.On the drive home Adara chastised herself. What was Juniper’s plan? Why was she helping Adrian? Was she planning on doing something to her? All these thoughts played through Adara’s mind. More importantly, she wasn’t sure how she was going to tell Kiran about this.She parked her car in the driveway and quickly went inside. It was five to two. Kiran and Christian would be h

“Beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing,” Malachi repeated Karani’s warning.I looked at Malachi with a frown. “You think Juniper is that wolf?”“Who else?” Malachi said and I thought about it.“She gave Adara a Rune necklace that apparently belonged to her mother.”“Perhaps I’m wrong. Perhaps Juniper is trying to make amends. She was quite shocked at the truths she heard at the tribunal.” I wasn’t convinced enough not to be mad anymore.“She still should have told me when Juniper phoned her. Why go meet her behind my back?” I said finally and got up again. I held my hand out to Malachi and pulled him up.“That you will have to ask her.” Malachi landed three shots to my rib cage before I could blink. I grunted and held my hands up.“Enough for today. You’ll break me!” I said to him and he laughed. Our time was up anyway and I went to find Christian.“See you at home?” I asked him.“Ten minutes.” Malachi said to me and I left the gym.I found Christian sitting in the foyer eating ice-crea

Adrian had yelled at Juniper all the way back to the campground. “I should just shoot you!” Her eyes were wide with fear.“How was I supposed to know that she would just leave?” Juniper tried to reason with him. He was beyond angry and for the first time in a long while she was afraid for her life.“What did you say to her?” Adrian’s voice was calm now and that frightened her more than his shouting. “Tell me everything exactly like it happened.” There was a warning to his voice.“I congratulated her on her wedding and asked her if she was happy.”“Something must have happened for her to leave so quickly,” Adrian argued.“I gave her a necklace that used to belong to her mother. Maybe she was emotional over that and decided to leave.” Juniper kept her voice even to cover her tracks of deceit.Despite her sins of the past, she didn’t feel right letting Adara walk into Adrian’s trap. She had a lot to atone for and this might be the first step in the right direction if she was ever going t

With a smile on his face, Adrian drove to the daycare; it was quarter to two. He sat in his truck parked down the street and waited. Kiran’s Jeep parked up the street right across from the daycare. Adrian looked at his watch and he was pleased to see that Kiran kept to a routine. It would make his job so much easier.Kiran was on his phone, smiling as he got out of the Jeep and walked across the street. A bell rang in the distance and he watched Kiran walk into the school building. He came back a few minutes later carrying Christian in one arm and his backpack in his other hand.They were laughing and Adrian could tell he was relaxed as he drove off with Christian in the direction of their house. Adrian had been waiting for that. A relaxed Kiran meant Malachi and Adara would also be relaxed and once he kicked off his new plan they wouldn’t know what hit them. He loved it when a plan came together and this time he would have the upper hand. They had no idea that he was back in Seward a
Gravity Part Fifty-Seven
Things at home were tense. Adara and I barely spoke and when we did it was in monosyllables and only when we had to talk to each other. I was still furious with her but we were both equally stubborn and refused to give an inch.She hadn’t yet told me the full story and my patience was wearing thin. The Alpha force in me refused to stand down and the downside was that Adara ignored me as much as I was ignoring her.In the mornings I’d take Christian to school and go to work. I immersed myself in my assignments and poured all my energy into work and meetings. In the afternoons I’d pick Christian up and come back to the hotel without stopping at home.We would train with Malachi and some days without him, depending on his own schedule. We would both shower in the hotel’s gym and go home for dinner. After a few days even Christian picked up on the tenseness at home.“Why are you mad at Adara?”I was lying next to Christian on his bed and we’d just finished his second story of the night. “
Gravity Part Fifty-Eight
Adrian opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He felt rested, invigorated and ready. Today was the day. His warehouse project was complete and he woke Juniper up with his special blended coffee with a spring in his step. His plan was perfect. He couldn’t help the tingle of pleasure that raced up his spine. It was the same tingle he got when he was close to orgasm. If he had more time, he’d find relief in the bathroom, but he was pressed for time as it was.Juniper looked at Adrian and felt another shiver go up her spine as he handcuffed her to the chair and stuffed a face cloth in her mouth before taping over it. He seemed very happy and she heard his whistling all the way to the car.Adrian bided his time and an hour after Kiran had dropped Christian off at daycare, he parked his car in front of the building. He walked inside with a confidence that only he could muster and smiled at the receptionist who smiled back at him.“Hi there, can I help you with something?” She was
Gravity Part Fifty-Nine
Christian was sitting on the bed, looking around. He hadn’t yet touched the water and he just sat there quietly, holding on to the tattered blue rabbit like his life depended on it. Satisfied that everything was going according to plan, he headed back to his car.He drove the car out of the warehouse and left it running while he pulled the big doors of the warehouse closed behind him and drove off. A while later he stopped at the campground and unlocked the cabin’s door.Juniper still sat on the chair, her mouth taped shut and her hands handcuffed behind her. He pulled the tape off roughly and Juniper winced when he pulled the cloth out of her mouth and then uncuffed her hands.“Pack your stuff, we’re leaving.” Adrian never asked her to do something, he just gave instructions.“Where are we going?” Juniper asked him.“Just do what you’re told!” Juniper jumped in fright as he snapped at her.She got her suitcase and packed her clothes. In fifteen minutes she was ready to leave and saw
