Lizzie It really isn’t fair that he is this sexy, he came out of the shower with his hair a mess and wet and I really had to control myself not to jump him right then and there. Ok I need to focus. We have to figure out how this is going to work!! I handed Evan his coffee and sat on the edge of the bed. “So how did you sleep?” I cocked my head to the side and looked at him, trying to decide if I should tell him how he had tried to suffocate me while he slept. He took a big sip and said, “I slept the best I have in months.” He had a big goofy grin on his face and I couldn’t help myself, “yea I bet, you tried to squish me under your giant limbs! I narrowly escaped with my life!” I smiled back at him and waited to see what he would do. He set his coffee down on the dresser and purposefully walked over to me. Took my coffee and set it on the floor, then put his hands on either side of me. He pulled his face so close to mine and whispered, “if you want me to squish you then I can.” I look
Evan As soon as I was on the road home and had time to clear my head, I opened the pack link so that I could let Seth know that I needed to talk to him. Before I even had time to think my dads voice came in loud and clear WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN EVAN! GET YOUR ASS HOME NOW! I shook my head and knew I was in for it when I got home, I mind linked him back, Dad I am on my way home now, I should be there in about an hour or so. I went to the beach for the weekend to check out. I could feel his anger coming through the link, I DON’T CARE WHY YOU WENT! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY HERE AND NO ONE COULD GET AHOLD OF YOU! COME SEE ME THE MINUTE YOU GET HERE! He shut the mind links down after that and I tried to link Seth to find out what was going on but I couldn’t reach him. What the hell was going on at home. I hit the pedal and got home 45 minutes later. As I walked into the pack house there was chaos everywhere. Injured wolves were being treated in the living room and kitchen. I picked up
Lizzie The drive home was a mix of emotions. I missed having Evan near me but I also knew we needed time to figure everything out. The guys were hopefully going to help me figure all of this out, I really didn’t even know where to begin. I pulled up in front of the apartment and something felt off. I could sense Shay walking around and on edge. What is it? What are you feeling? She was a mess, “I don’t know. I sense several wolves are near by.” Okay, we know that rogues live around here, do you think it is someone new moving in? “No these aren’t rogues. Lizzie behind you! I turned around and before I could even raise a hand or scream I was being tackled and shoved into a van. Something hard hit me in the head and the world started to spin. Shay what is going on? She screamed at me to wake up but I couldn’t the world was all black and I couldn’t feel Shay anymore, I was floating in nothingness. Evan I pulled up to her building and saw her car out front. The trunk was open and all of
Lizzie I knew I couldn’t stay; it was only two weeks till my birthday, but I knew it wasn’t safe for me to stay at the group home once my wolf woke up. I was a rouge and as much as I wanted to stay and graduate, I just couldn’t. I wouldn’t put the other girls at risk, the group home had been my home for the last two years. If the local pack found me, they wouldn’t stop till they had killed me. They hated all rogues and hunted them down. So, I started to put my plan into action. I had been saving every penny since I started working at 15. Becky had taken a chance hiring me and I had found a family of sorts working with the staff of The Coffee Bean. Becky always made sure I had a full stomach, she never let me leave without taking food along. I had no idea what I was going to do without Becky and John. I needed to let her know I was leaving. I know I was going to miss her for the rest of my life! I only had two weeks left till my life turned upside down again! Two week
LizzieI walked my bike up to the bus station and put it in the bike rack, I knew I couldn’t keep riding all the way there and would need to spend some of my limited money on a bus ticket. The ticket window opened at 6am and it was only 5:30 so I had some time to kill before I could get a ticket and get as far away as possible. I pulled out my favorite book The Count of Monte Cristo and picked a page at random and started reading. I could start anywhere in this book and know exactly what was happening. The book was falling apart and taped in so many places I couldn’t even see the front cover anymore, it was an old friend, and it gave me so much comfort. Shay was just beginning to stir in my mind and came forward to see what was going on. I gave her the simple storyline of my book and we talked about the different characters and how the main character was treated so unfairly. As we continued to get to know each other the bus station lights popped on and I knew it was time to get out of
Evan I am so tired of sitting here and listening to my dad go on and on about the importance of going to college and getting my business degree. I didn’t want to take over the family security company, I was never meant to be the Alpha. That was supposed to have been Brian, it was always meant to be Brian. My older brother had been killed last year by a group of rogues that had come onto the pack territory. We never learned why they had been stupid enough to cross the border. The wolves had scattered before we caught them all and the ones we did catch were killed. Unfortunately, Brian wasn’t as lucky. So now I am stuck here listening to my dad go on and on. Andre was urging me to listen, he was excited about being the next Alpha and knew that we could do this. Andre was always ready for a challenge! I on the other hand just wanted to go to art school. I wanted to find my mate and have a family. Now all of those plans had gone out the window. I was 19 and getting ready t
Lizzie I got up and wandered to the kitchen needing coffee before my day at the restaurant began. Tom had been in a mood yesterday and I hoped that he was in a much better mood today. As I half stumbled to the kitchen Charlie put a cup of coffee on the counter and slowly backed away. After a year of living together they knew not to attempt conversation with me until at least halfway through my first cup. As I poured the liquid gold into my cup and added more creamer then was needed, I held the cup between my hands and took a sip. I instantly felt warm and slightly more human. Shay Stretched as well and started wake up. Coffee is our happy place!Charlie “well good morning sleeping beauty. You got in late last night. “Lizzie “unfortunately it wasn’t for a fun reason, Tom was in a mood after another server quit last night. He had me stay and close up, so I didn’t get out of there until after midnight. He really needs to not insult every single woman he hires. He told th
Evan I kept driving till I found this dive off the highway. I normally didn’t come to this side of town most of the pack stayed in the city center. Today I just needed a break from all of the pressure and responsibility. Andre perked up as soon as we parked. He was pacing back and forth in my mind and kept trying to talk but couldn’t find the right words.Evan, “Dude you need to chill, what is going on?”Andre, “I don’t know but something big is happening! I can feel it!”Evan, “please just chill, I don’t need this shit today!”I opened the door to the diner and her smell hit me first! The most amazing smell of dark chocolate coffee hit me and almost knocked me backward. The second thing I sensed is she is a rouge! What the hell is happening? How did I walk into the only restaurant that had a fucking rogue working there? I scanned the room until I locked eyes with the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. But she was a rogue!Evan I kept driving till I foun
