Juvia POV Hearing the sound of machines beeping, I started to realise I was no longer on the road watching the stars overhead. I tried to move but it hurt me all over to do so. Opening my eyes slowly, I was blinded by a white glowing surrounding. “I’m in the hospital?” I questioned with a raspy voice. “Oh sweetheart, your awake. It was so touch and go for a while we didn’t know if you were going to wake up.” I looked over to see an elderly nurse looking at a chart. “Would you like a drink of water?” she asked sweetly. I nodded and she made her way to the hall and came back with a cup of water and a straw. “Sip it, dear. You have been out for a full week. You were in a very nasty car accident, but you pulled through, thank the heavens, and you seem to be healing extremely well. You have a fractured skull, a broken wrist, a fractured ankle and a few broken ribs. One rib punctured one of your lungs but your surgery obviously went well, and it was repaired.” As I listened to her, I
Juvia POV I jumped up and looked around. There was nobody there. It was the same voice I remember from the forest. ‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you’ “Who is there? Who are you?” I shouted into my empty room and when I got no reply, I grabbed the button to call the nurse who came rushing in. “What's wrong?” This nurse wasn’t like the one who was in this morning. This middle-aged woman with dark brown hair and a long nose looked like she would rather stab me than help me so she could be a quiet night. “There is someone in my room” I shouted out panicked. “Someone is here. She spoke to me a moment ago. Someone is in here.” The nurse looked at me as if I had stolen her kid and threw it into traffic. She walked over to the bathroom and checked behind all the curtains. “Miss Simone, there isn’t anyone else here. Go to sleep before I have a nurse give you a sedative” she said in a tone of annoyance. ‘She can’t see me, not unless you shift, and I wouldn’t do that here. You’ll likely
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Rang out over the crowd of people. He looked around, his tail wagging. Walking over to him I patted his head. “Happy birthday kiddo. Go get changed and come join your party.” We heard a crash as Liam fell through the tree line. “And here folks we have the loser!” I laughed along with the others. The boys went to get changed and I started to mingle with guest. It was a nice afternoon and there was plenty of drinks consumed into the evening. Everyone seemed to be having fun and dancing Aleister was flicking between people and it looked like he was having a good time. As the night continued though, I could not stop thinking about the girl in the hospital, but my thoughts were cut short by an unease in my stomach and a smell in the air. I walked over to Eric. The look on his face, he could feel it too. An all-mighty song of howls rang though the sky causing us to look around. “What the fuck was that?” Eric shouted. “What is going on, East side patrol?” I linked
Leon POV “She’s awake? When? Has she said anything?” I blurted out without thinking. He paused for a moment before continuing. “No. She woke up not long ago. I’m not sure what happened but she proper freaked out for a while. I heard the doctor tell her about her injuries and I heard some of the nurses talking. She was hit with a massive amount of force by the car. She is definitely a wolf; a human would have died on impact.” I detected a hint of sorrow in his voice. “There is something though. The doctor did confirm she’s in foster care and she does have foster parents, but again nobody has visited her.” His voice came across soft, as if he also felt sorry for her. “That may be why we weren’t allowed any information on her. She must still be under 18. Thank you. Stay a little bit longer and find out what you can.” “Yes, Alpha. How is the situation over there? Was there many injured?” “I’m just about to head back to the hospital then to the pack house. I will update you when I f
Juvia POV Waking up, I got flash backs. That bitch of a nurse put me out. 'She's lucky I didn't rip her throat out.' The voice from before spoke again, making me jump and then sigh. 'Ugh, you're still talking huh? So I'm still crazy.' I thought in a sarcastic tone. 'How wonderful'. 'I told you, you're not crazy. I'm your wolf, Alice.' She replied to me. Before I got a chance to reply to the voice in my head, to prove I was more crazy by actually talking back, the sweet nurse from when I first woke up came in with a tray. “Oh my dear. I heard you had a bit of a night. Are you doing better this morning?” She asked. She was lovely. I liked having her around. “My name is Dotty, by the way sweetie. I'm the morning nurse here in the hospital. If you need me just ring that little buzzer on your bed and I'll come running.” She told me sweetly. “Thank you Dotty. Can you tell me when I might be getting home?” I asked. I've no plans on going back to live in that house with Flo and Winston.
Juvia POV There was a feeling of heat radiating through my body, as if I'd just been set on fire. Then without warning, my body went freezing cold, as if I'd been dropped in ice water. I tried to reach for the nurses button and ended up falling to the floor. 'Juvia, you can't call anyone in here.' Alice pleaded. 'We could kill them and then they will kill us.' she shouted at me, but I couldn't hear over the pain. I just wanted help. Another wave of pain hit me and I heard a familiar sound. A disgusting crack of a bone breaking, then another and another. As the pain grew, I realised, it was my bones. I heard the door swing open and looked to see a large golden haired man standing looking on with shock. He turned quickly, looking up and down the hall outside before I watched him close and lock the door. “Fuck.” I heard him mumble before I think, I passed out. Leon POV It didn't take long for the pack doctor to arrive and look over the kid. Apart from a few broken bones that would
Leon POV 'Alpha, she's shifting. She fucking shifting in the human hospital.' I heard Marcus shout through the link. 'Shit, are you sure Marcus?' I snapped back. 'Positive, but if she doesn't know what she is, this will be her first shift. This will be hell for her' The first shift is the hardest for everyone. The first time every bone in your body snaps and rearranges, you will not have ever felt pain like it, but in a pack you're taught about these things. You're prepared as you grow, and she's going to go through this alone. 'No matter who she is or what she has seen, we cant let her do this alone, Leon.' Khaos growled at me. 'Inject her. Get him to inject her and bring her here. It's the only way she can safely shift.' he demanded. 'Khaos, you're talking about kidnapping her. How do you expect Marcus to get her out of there?' While we thought of a plan I instructed Marcus to get in the room and lock the door behind him. If this is her first shift he could have at least a few
Leon POV Before we could talk more the nurses came back in with coffee and called the doctor to check Marcus over before he was allowed to leave. I tried talking to the nurses to see if they knew anymore about the girl who was missing but neither of them had attended to her but told us of the other nurse working on the ward that did, so while Marcus was being checked I went to look for her. Seeing the head nurse, I walked over. She was a short woman with brown hair and a nose that would put an elephant to shame. “Excuse me madam.” I said politely, giving as much charm as I could to get some answers. “Do you know much about the girl who went missing?” She glared at me. “Everyone is so nosey. The girl probably just ran off. She was crazy. Talking of hearing voices and things. If you ask me she just wanted more drugs and was playing the crazy card to get them. Now I've told the police everything and I'm not bothering with anymore so get out of my face before I call security.” 'Can't
Juvia POVWe sat in silence for a few moments. I could feel the rage radiate from him and I sat quietly until he was ready. This was a lot to take in. The truth of his parents was one thing but the more he continued the more I understood his protective nature.“When she was 15, she was known as the jewel of their pack. She was beautiful. Long black hair, porcelain skin. And it was at this time, Lorenzo noticed the attention she was getting from the older members. So when it came to the pack meetings, he had a special room in the cellars made up for visiting Alphas to bring her down and use her however they wanted.”My hands flew to my mouth as tears started to silently fall down my face.“This was why, when I did what I did to you, not only did I hate myself so much for putting you through that, everyone else did too. It makes me sick to my stomach the shit my mother went though being locked in that room. So when I locked you up in a room of your own, I should have known better.”I co
Juvia POVI sat on the sofa, hanging on every word Leon said. Things very few people in his pack even knew about. Leon's parents were murdered and nobody knows the truth. He's carrying this burden with the help of a few other people, as to protect his pack and most of all, his brothers.“Why they were killed though, we still have no clues.” I slowly reached towards his hands that where wrapped tightly around the glass of whiskey and took one in my hand.“Is that why you don't talk about them?” I asked softly.“Yeah. It's hard keeping this from the guys. When we talk about them, I just want to tell them. But I would break their hearts if I told them the truth.”I nodded. I understood his intentions but it wasn't my place to tell him I thought he was making a mistake by not telling his brothers the truth.“So, I'm sorry, I don't want to push but I need to Leon.” I watched as he cocked his eyebrow in confusion. “Your grandfather?”He nodded in understanding and took his hand from mine.“
Juvia POV“Grandfather?” I asked confused. In an instant Leon had Clancy pinned against the wall, gasping for breath.“Why?” I watched as Khaos pushed to the surface. “Why him?”I watched as Clancy's hands fought against Leon's arm while he choked out his words. “Because... He... Knew... The... Tales...”Leon glared at him for a few seconds while Clancy continued to gasp for air, before he grunted and dropped his hand and Clancy collapsed to the floor breathing hard.Leon turned hard on his heel and stomped back to his desk and sat down. Nobody moved until he spoke again.“Michael, you better tell me something that isn't going to piss me off.”Michael sighed. “Alpha, Lorenzo, as much as we hate him, has heard of the things we want to know. One of the other elders we spoke to contacted him because of a story he told once at a gathering. Something about a woman he knew using an Alpha aura to destroy a building. When he asked about why they were interested, they told him they were doing
Heston POVI rustled through papers at my desk, lost in thoughts of the conversation with hunter. There are only a few weeks then the girls full power unlocks and it will be harder to hide that she is still alive.“Your highness?” I heard a voice.I glanced up to see one of the maids standing offering to pour me a drink. I waved my hand to dismiss her.“It isn't like you to turn down a drink my love, is something the matter?” In walked my beautiful mate, Daria. Her long black hair flowed and her scent calmed me immediately.“Just work my love. Circumstances have changed so I'm having to move the plans up.” I run my hand through my thick light brown hair. “She is closer to her transformation than we originally thought.”“So that's it? You are 100% sure it's her now?” She sat on the table next to me and glanced at the papers in front of me.“There is no mistake now. The one thing I don't understand, is how she's stayed hidden so long.”I heard a small growl come from her. “It could only
Leon POVIt's been days from I've spoken to Juvia and right now Khaos is going nuts in my head. He wants to see Alice, but both are refusing to see me.I sat in my office staring out the window, half listening to the morning patrol plans.“Are you even listening Leon?” Liam snapped. “Because if I'm wasting my time I'll go out myself.”“Sorry man. My heads just in a fucking dizz. Khaos hasn't stopped shouting at me.” I groaned.“Well get it fucking together man.” He snapped again.From the conversation about Juvia possibly being mated to my brothers, he's been extra irritable. Aleister has been travelling to other packs to do research on what could be going on but so far hasnt found much.There was a knock at the door and Eric came in and both me and Liam looked at him with urgency, yet he just waltzed in as if we weren't waiting on him.“Well?” I snapped standing from my seat.He walked across the room and sat on the sofa in the corner and stretched out his arms.“What happened?” Liam
Juvia POVI still cant get over that strange dream with the familiar woman.I spent the next few days in our apartment, telling the twins I wasn't feeling well and that I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't tell them about wanting to leave, or about what Leon done to me. I didn't want to put them in a situation where they would want to come with me or turn against Leon. Especially when he's only recently started getting Kevin's trust.“Hello?” A voice called from towards the front door. I got up and walked to the hall and looked towards my locked door before I heard another knock.I walked over and looked out through the peephole to see a woman standing there with an annoyed look on her face. She was skinny, and although she looked to be in her 40s, her long salt and pepper hair made her seem wise beyond her years.“Hello?” I finally replied after hearing her let out a sigh.“Oh finally!” She snapped. “It's extremely rude to keep someone waiting at your door.”'Wow, who does she think
Juvia POVI looked at my phone and realised I've been sitting in the flower garden for over an hour. It really is a calming beautiful place. My stomach growled slightly and I couldn't remember the last thing I had to eat.Deciding to head back inside I was about to leave when something in the corner of the garden caught my eye. There was a small cluster of little white flowers behind a small section of snapdragons, the ones Leon explained were planted for him by his mother.Taking a closer look, I discovered a small group of snowdrops in full bloom.“Wow, they are beautiful.” I spoke out loud. “But that's strange. They usually don't bloom this time of year.”“You know your flowers.” Came a soft voice from behind me.I turned to see a beautiful vision of a woman standing behind me. Tall and slim, with long velvet like black hair that hung down her back reaching her bum. She had the most lovely green eyes and when she gave me a small smile, I could feel my hurt and anxiety vanish in an
Juvia POVLeon's fist slammed down on the table “What the fuck did you just say?”I watched as Aleister bared his neck to Leon and Liam looked down to the floor.“I just mean, it seems like me and Liam have an incomplete bond. Like there is something in the way of it becoming complete, like your bond.”“So you mean we have to share her?” Liam burst out laughing. “Like just taking turns with her. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What if Leon lives for like 90 years? Do we just wait?”This time I heard Leon let out a low growl.Aleister cleared his throat and shifted slightly. “Or if she rejected Leon.”My head shot to Leon and I noticed he was already looking at me wide eyed.'No. Not an option. Please Juvia.' Alice pleaded in my head.The room sat quiet while everyone just stared at me and I couldn't take it any more.“I'd like to go for a walk. I need to think things over.” I shot up and headed for the door.“Wait.” Leon called as my hand reached for the door handle, caus
Juvia POV'Please don't hold this against him. I get that you're pissed. So am I. But don't reject him, don't leave Juvia.' Alice was gaining more strength now. Whatever was in the syringe was wearing off.'Alice, how can we trust him? Who does that to another person?' I snapped back at her. This mate bond was our wolves pulling each other together, and because they are part of our souls, it's a part of someone pulling a part of someone else. The bond is stronger for our wolves though. But it can be denied, or rejected as Alice put it.There was a small knock at the door and I walked over to it slowly.“Hello?” I called out softly.“I didn't mean for this to happen Juvia. I don't know why I did this. I just wanted you safe.”Leon's voice was a low humming coming through the thick door.“Please let me out Leon. You promised me I would be free to make my own choice. That I wasn't a prisoner.” I pleaded, but I was met with silence. “Leon?”I waited, but just when I turned away thinking h
