Just as before, then the scene changed. Hailey is sitting on a chair, chained and looking almost dead, her head hanging forward. She was pale with dry blood around her on the floor, there was so much blood, she had slashes on her wrists. She looks up with an effort and tries to look me in the eye. Her one eye was swollen shut. Her lip had a cut, and even her soft curly hair was a mess. It was dirty, and she looked abused. Was it me? Was this what I did to her? No, Rebecca said that she was getting better. Looking around, I saw that I was standing in an old abandoned house. Its windows were shattered with curtains that were torn. It had a foal smell, almost like something was busy rotting. “Why did you do this to me? What did I do, that you hate me this much?” she said with a hoarse voice. I wanted to get to her, all I wanted to do was protect her, take her in my arms and tell her how sorry I was for what I had done, but as I stepped forward to help, a blue light shone around her. The
Walking into the bar, I could see it was cozy. People were sitting around tables, laughing, and just having a good time. At the back of the bar, a very beautiful woman was waiting on the customers. She had pitch black hair that hung to the middle of her waist. Next to her was a guy also with black hair but it was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head. “Hi, Pedro, what are you doing here?” the man shouts at us while waving. Walking up to the bar, I saw the lady giving me a look but tried to ignore it.“Hi, James, I just brought my new friend here”, he pulls me next to him.“She has just arrived in New Orleans and needs a job. Can you help her?” while he talks, I can see that this James is looking me up and down. I could also smell that he was a werewolf, just like most of the people in the bar. I just hoped that my spray was still good. “Well, have you ever worked in a bar?” He asked me, his eyes locked on mine.“Yes, I have” I hold my breath. Please let him hire me. I need
“Hope, will you please give table 2 their drinks” Cindy was asking me. She has been very nice to me the whole night. Saying that as this was my first night, she would cover the bar and I do the tables.James have been hanging around the bar, but I could feel his eyes on me the whole time. Pedro left saying that he still had to work but would look in on me the next day. “Table 3 wants 2 beers, 1 margarita, and 5 shots,” I told her as I stood at the bar.“Those 5 will have to crawl back home if they go on like that or we have to drag them to the curb and see if they can find their way home,” Cindy says, and we start laughing. I could not think why Pardo did not like her. “Here I think you need a break”, she gives me a glass of juice and smiles, as she clicks her glass filled with some or other mix to my glass, she says“To working together, being good friends, and having a lifetime of fun”. We drank our drinks and started again. “Hope will you help me with something here, please”, it
Cindy’s POV I saw her walking into the bar, a little bit wet. As soon as she stepped inside the bar, I placed a clocking spell on her. I really did not need the two pests of Brian and Serafino to come to look for her, they would only interfere with my plans. Pedro and James are so drawn to her beauty, that they make me sick. But let them, it will not be long now, then I will have what I want and they will be like all those other losers. I smiled inwardly. She had fallen right into my plans with my ability to direct her mind to New Orleans, then I just had to make Pedro find her and ask for work. I also made the previous girl that worked here leave, so James needed someone other than me to help at the bar. When he asked me if I could work with her, I played a bit reluctant at first, so it was not too obvious that this was precisely what I wanted.Then, I heard her asking James if he knew of a place she could rent. This was my chance to show her that I could be a friend. I will make f
I was standing in the lobby of the pack house. There was a buzz of people running around. I could hear a commotion in the kitchen. Pots and pans clutter if someone is very busy with cooking and baking. The omegas were running up and down with stuff in their hands. I stopped one of them, grabbing her by the arm.“What is going on, why are you running?” I asked her. She gave me an ‘are you serious look.“Today is the wedding. Where have you been? We have to be done as they will be here any minute”, she started to. quickly walk again towards the ballroom.“What wedding?” I shouted at her, but as she was out of earshot, she did not answer me. I have to find out whose wedding this was. Looking around, I did not see anything to even give me glue, so I decided that maybe outside I could see an invitation or something, and that way I could find out who the couple was. As I got outside onto the patio, I saw a red carpet leading down the path to an arch. It was decorated with fresh red and whi
Cindy’s POVThat goddamn wolf. I wanted to kill it so badly. I was doing so good at convincing Hailey that here was the best for her and then she just had to ruin it. Now I will have to start again playing the best friend. Well, I have another week till the red moon. I needed her blood before then and I wanted to make sure that I had everything ready, but now I will have to wing it. Using my abilities, I let my people know that my plan would not be done today and that they must be ready when I needed them. With the confirmation that they would be, I leave my room. Standing in the kitchen, I started to make plans of what I could do to convince Hailey that staying would be the best. If she was in the pack, Brian and Serafino would defiantly not let her out of their site and then I would not be able to get her. I felt my magic leave them, so by now they would have heard what they had done and would be looking for her. No, her going back would not do. But what would let her stay? Still in
Next, when our ice cream was finished, he took me to a shop not far from the park. It was a very scary place. At the front door, a sign said to enter at your own risk. I have never seen a sign like that on a shop door. What shop would put a sign on their door like that?Opening the door, I could immediately see why. In the shop, there were shelves filled with bottles of weird liquids. There was even a bottle with what looked like the head of a snake or lizard, but it was so gruesome that I did not want to look too closely. The smell of sage was very strong, and I could feel Athena was on high alert as she was up, but did not say a thing. Typical.She was like that the last week or so, would react but would not give me a reason for her reaction, so again, like always, I ignored her. At the back of the counter, there was a lady with the brightest pink hair that I had ever seen. It was braided on one side up till her mid-waist and the other side was shaven clean off with a tattoo of a
Brian’s POV Jerking up from the bed, I looked around and, true enough, there was Lucy next to me, where was Hailey? “Bruce, where is Hailey and why is Lucy in my room, not Hailey?” I mind link Bruce “Alpha, you all right. It’s past 2 am, What’s wrong?” he says with a sleepiest voice “I asked where is Hailey?” My Alpha tone coming through “You banned her off the pack lands two weeks ago,” he says, sounding very confused. “I DID WHAT!” I could not believe what I was hearing. I banned Hailey from the pack lands. “Get you in my office in 5 minutes,” I told him while I put on my sweat pants and shirt. Walking to my office, I could not think of why I would band her. She was Cayden’s mate and he would have stopped me. Where was he? “Cayden, Cayden?” but he stays silent. I would ask Bruce, as Beta, and he would know what is going on. I remember me, Serafino, and Hailey together, and now I am waking up to Lucy next to me and Bruce says that I banded Hailey. I need some answers and
