Hi, you wonderful readers, remember to send those gems. XoXo Christa
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
“What have I done?” I just stood there like a statue, not moving. Looked at my hands, which I could not believe would hurt my mate. Yes, you read right, I said, my mate. I did not want a mate, but now that I lost her, I know that I need her, Hailey. I need my mate, not just for Cayden but for myself. The way she smiled, everything about her was perfect and I was too much a bumbass to recognize it, as I was stuck on the ‘no mate’ thing. Now she’s gone and it feels as if my world has ended. I need to get her back. “You said that Serafino took her, right?” I looked at Bruce as he stood looking at the mess I had just made with my office. “Yes, he did. But then, when he took her to his home, he too, hurt her, so badly. She wasn’t even able to walk, so Rebecca took her to her apartment. She has been looking after her while we were looking for answers as to why this happened to you and Serafino and who could have done this, but the biggest question is why” he says as he starts to put some
An hour later, the three were at the airport where Serafino’s private jet was waiting for them. There was a tension between Serafino and Brian that you could cut with a knife. As they boarded the plane, they bumped into each other to get in first. Rebecca only stares at this shaking her head. They were like teenage boys wanting to get to the price first. Inside the plane, then it turned for the worst as Serafino sat down. He takes a photo out of his pocket of Hailey, where she was standing in front of a house smiling at the camera and just staring at it. Brian gets a look at it and then the fight begins. “Why did you take her to your house? You could have left her with Rebecca. You could have called me as soon as you knew she was gone. What’s wrong with you?” Brian was shouting at Serafino. “Ye well, what do you think? That I wanted to hurt her. She asked me to make her forget how YOU hurt her, and that was what I wanted to do, and would you have listened if I told you she had left.
Maybe she is in the bar, let’s check”. Rebecca starts walking to the door of the bar. They followed her in and, giving a quick look around, did not see Hailey. Seeing Cindy at the bar, Rebecca walks over to her, she would know if Hailey was there. “Hi, hope you can help me. We are looking for our friend and want to know if you may have seen her.” Rebecca handed Cindy another photo that Serafino had. Looking at the photo, as if thinking, Cindy hands it back to Rebecca and starts to clean the bar again. “Nope, I have not seen her,” Cindy says without looking at Rebecca. With that, James walks in and notices the three people talking to Cindy at the bar, but striking him was a bit of the photo. “Hi there are you guys looking for someone?” he says as he stares at Rebecca, who just makes a face and turns to him. “Ye, we are looking for our friend Hailey. Maybe you have seen her here or somewhere near here?” Taking the photo, James’ eyes went wide. He could smell that the three in fr
I put one foot down on the road and waited for a second, making sure that no one had heard me. Looking left and right, I decided that I would go left as the right was towards the main road and there I definitely did not want to be. I tiptoe through the ally making sure to check all the small allies and doors. As I neared an old rustic building, I heard a noise coming from the front. There was a big trash bin with something moving behind it. Was it them? Did they follow my scent? Or did they see me when I was in the allies? My mind goes a mile a minute. Standing thinking about what I would do if it were them. Bang, crash, tingling, My heart stops as a piece of trash falls onto the ground. That’s it. They have me, I am done. But the only thing that then appears is a black cat walking with a mouse in its mouth. I put a hand to my heart, hoping that it would keep it inside my chest. Catching my breath again, I started to walk again. Soon, I reach the end of the allies and only see
