Jaden“Can we even afford to this?” I ask Hunter. His face is lit up by the glow of his computer screen, his brows furrowed in deep thought. “Depends what your freedom is worth to you … do you want to make Felicity our luna?” he suggests, arching a brow as I scowl at him, tapping my fingers to the soft humming of the computer. “No!” I answer immediately as he shrugs his shoulders, looking rather pleased with himself.“I don’t know why I keep you around,” I grumble as he laughs, getting up from his screens and clapping me on the shoulder. “Because you love me!” he teases, giving me a smirk before waggling his brows as I roll my eyes, shoving him away. “God, you're annoying!” he snickers, returning to his computer tapping a few keys, so the screen goes blank.“Right, I best get this over with,” the idea leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Fuck, sometimes it’s no fun being me. Hunter nods, packing up his stuff as I leave the hospital room heading back up to the next floor. I don’t go near
StaceyAurora’s concerned eyes met mine, as she asked, “So we have a plan then?” I nodded, but inside I knew it was ridiculous. What else could I do? Gabriel had just come in to check on my leg, and there was still a glimmer of hope that with the venom out of my system, I might be able to heal myself. At least that was the hope, I was ready to get out of here.Gabriels white lab coat was neatly pressed, and a stethoscope hung around his neck. “Your vitals look good are you ready to take this off?” he questions flashing a warm smile that put me at ease. I let out a sigh of relief and nodded eagerly. “Yes please,” Aurora chuckles as she looks at her mate I can see those emerald green eyes of hers sparkle alighting with love and lust. It made my heart ache for someone to look at me with such intensity instead of the usual pained expressions and growling I get from Jaden … even Todd has never looked at me like that.Gabriel gently guided my leg down from the hoist, his fingers tapping ligh
JadenAs the heavy door slammed shut behind me, the sound reverberated through the hallway, causing a sharp ringing in my ears. I marched down the long hospital corridor, my pace quick and determined. The walls were stark white and the fluorescent lights flickered with each step I took. My mind was racing as I left her hospital room - she always had to get in the last word. “Just so we’re clear, your plan won’t work unless I agree,” she sneered at me before I stormed out. But before I could leave, she delivered one final warning. “Keep your paws off that one.” She tilted her head up towards the hospital room across from hers. “No one wants her to end up back in this hospital again.” My frustration boiled over as I realised I needed her gone from my pack immediately.Lost in my thought, I barrelled through the bustling hospital hallway, my gaze fixed on the ground as I pushed past doctors and nurses. I didn’t have time for curious glances or idle chatter. Suddenly, I stumbled and almost
JadenSmoke swirled around me, blurring my vision as I stood outside the hospital in the rain. I couldn’t get it out of my head. Why did she want to thank me? She was willing to forgive me, give me the benefit of the doubt. I can maybe understand it when we lived out in the woods with my mother. I was only eight by the time she left us, after all. But she only got released about three years ago. I wasn’t a child then.I took another drag; the paper struggling to burn as the rain pelts me in the face. I let it welcoming the harsh shards hitting my skin. I wouldn’t accept her thanks or forgiveness or whatever she was offering in the name of family. Not until I could forgive myself, and that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.The list of people I had hurt was in the hundreds, strangers, wolves I didn’t know at the request of my father, but now the list of people I had hurt were those I cared about. Maybe I deserved to be alone or to agree to Felicity’s terms. It was the best thing to do
JadenCaleb’s icy blue eyes glinted with a calculating, knowing look as he led the way out of Gemma’s hospital room, the door clicking shut behind us, the faint sound of beeping machines mingling with the distant chatter of nurses and doctors could be heard around us. His face was always carefully composed, never betraying his true thoughts or intentions. My mouth felt dry and parched, as if I had swallowed sand. Foreboding and unease often left this bitter taste in my mouth, and Caleb’s strange behaviour only intensified it. I had seen that look a number of times when we held our conclave meetings with the other alphas, but it wasn’t normally in my direction, at least not since we first.Caleb had a rather weird skill or ability as some might call it … he just seemed to know things, things he shouldn’t and things before they happened. I had my own abilities, but I rarely use them. It wasn’t useful in my mind and so far, the only one it worked on was him.Caleb was able to see decisio
StaceyI had left the hospital quickly with Aurora and Gretchen. Gabriel told me he would do a check up later today. I think he knew I didn’t want to stay in the hospital a second longer after seeing Jaden in Felicities room. I couldn’t squash the sting of betrayal and jealousy that reared its ugly head every time I thought about it. The slight limp in my step made a soft thud on the ground with each step.My ankle was still a little sore but I could bare weight on it. I guess that was to be expected after having some beast’s jaws tear through it. Not wanting to go home just yet. As much as I wanted to see Dad and Libby, mum and I were not in a great place. I was already feeling shitty, and I knew if I saw her now, we would just end up arguing.Aurora dropped me off on my road but away from the house so no one could see I was back. “Are you sure you don’t want to go in? I could come with you?” she offers me, giving me a comforting smile. I press my lips together, shaking my head as she
StaceyI don’t how long I stayed there crouching on the floor with my head in my hands, the ground beneath me a blur as tears continue to fall. All I felt was Gretchen nudging me with her snout. I felt numb, almost as if I was hovering above my body in a state of shock. My mouth felt dry and stale, the taste of salt lingering from my tears. As much as I knew it was the right thing to do, it hurt. I hated hurting Todd. He had done nothing wrong. I just prayed that the moon goddess would give him someone who deserved him and would treat him right and secretly, deep down, maybe, just maybe, we might be able to be friends again.Still, I refused to cling to any kind of hope that was a possibility. My mind drifted to Jaden … I didn’t even know where we stood. He had been in my hospital day and night when I first woke up. I knew he wanted me, but then it was as if he was saying goodbye. I guess he was as he hadn’t come to see me and I found him in her room. At least Todd was no longer tangl
StaceyThe paper is crumpled and creased, evidence of my anxiety and nerves as I stare at it. The sunlight streaming through the window casts a warm glow on the room, illuminating the cluttered desk and scattered clothes on the floor. I can see my messy hair and dark circles under my eyes from the lack of sleep. Aurora would be here shortly to help me get ready for our girls’ night.But before any of that could happen, there was one person I needed to see. I knew he would have the answers, and I wasn’t going to let him get away with this. I needed to know the truth. If I was going to have fun tonight or drown my sorrows, I wanted answers. I swung my legs off the bed, keeping the note clutched tightly in my hand as I walked over to the wardrobe looking for something to wear. My ankle was feeling better, so I guess propping it up had helped briefly, at least. Another couple of hours and hopefully it would be good as new.I found a pair of black gym shorts and a sports bra to put on. It w
