I hear a crunch before I feel the pain as it splits through me like a knife, shooting up my side similar to what I imagine a bolt of lightning would feel like. I snap my eyes open just in time to watch my fathers dirty black boot connect with my ribs, knocking all the air from my lungs, the crunch of the bones breaking almost makes me heave but the pain distracts me from the bile rising up my throat, the pain starts in my side and spreads throughout my entire body. Everything hurt like hell. “Get up you lazy tramp” my father spits through clenched teeth. I fucking hate him! I dream of stabbing the bastard in his sleep when I’m not dreaming of my future mate, but then I imagine that would be too easy for the fat motherfucker! He deserves much worse than a silent knife in his throat! I take a breath to calm myself before I explode right back, knowing fine rightly if I react badly it will only make things worse. So I push myself up off the floor where I slept. Glarin
I clear my mind as I enter the school, finishing my last day and I leave, I was invisible at school just the way I liked it so I had no heartfelt goodbyes to deal with so it was easy to walk away and not even look back I limp towards the cafe, as I open the door and slip inside, Emma’s face falls, she grinds her teeth rushing over and taking my arm. “Oh lilly what now?” Her face scrunched up in worry, I wag her off, not wanting her to worry too much. “It’s just my ribs” I whisper, smiling at her. I was always honest with Emma because she could see straight through my shit so there was no point in lying to her. She growls, shaking her head “Fuck I’m going to kill that bastard one of these days” I chuckle, Emma was the most loving kind person I know, for some reason the thought of her killing anyone was simply just hilarious. She gasps,zeroing her eyes in at me “You don’t think I could do it can you!” She snaps, she flexes her arm “Seriously look at thes
I tell Emma “if you need to breath do it through the towel” she nods as I take her hand, leading her down the stairs, my lungs burn as the smoke blinds me, I reach for the towel, taking a breath through it as we run towards the door. I yank Emma out through the door and I close it behind us. adrenaline pumps through me as I pull her with me, my heart was racing as the heat of the fire came up through the floorboard, my body sweating as I tremble in fear. We reach the next door so I take another breath, after this door there was another almost immediately after. The flames were creeping up the walls, from the cafe next door, it felt like we were in an oven. I was so terrified, I could feel the heat behind the door. I could feel the fire burn behind it as I look towards it nervously. “When I open the door we run ok?” I ask her through the towel, her hands were sweating in my own as I grasp onto it tighter in fear that I would accidentally drop it. I reach for th
After breakfast we quickly get cleaned up, then we leave, borrowing Emma’s mums car “Let’s go shopping” She says grinning at me “All my clothes were burned so I need everything” In Emma’s world that was a dream come true, she makes shopping for an entirely new wardrobe sounds like it was the silver lining to her house burning to the ground. “Ofcourse, that should be fun” I try to sound enthusiastic as I answer, I didn’t want to go but I know this was probably the last time I would be spending time with her alone so I planned to make the most of it. We walk in and out of one shop after the other, for hours and hours. Emma clearly had a blast as I stand back and watch her shop. It was different to shop when you had an unlimited budget, I spent most of my time in thrift stores, getting the best price possible. Lastly we go to Victoria secrets, i desperately needed a new bra, if i'm lucky I might grab one on sale. So I head straight to the rack as Emma is busy filli
“What the fuck did he do to you?” A voice calls, making me jump as I look around to see who found me. “It’s me lilly, your wolf, are you ok?” I smile, closing my eyes as I try to see her. “You won’t be able to see me until we shift, but seriously are you ok?” I cough, spluttering as I roll to the side, wiping my blood from my mouth “No, I’m really not” I answer coughing again, I feel her worry for me, a warm feeling washing through us as I try to breathe through the pain. “What’s your name!” I say trying to distract myself “Layla, my names Layla. I think we need to shift before you get any worse” I nod my head “Ok, I have no idea what to do” “Don’t worry love, iv got this” I feel this invisible force pushing through a barrier in my head, suddenly something pops, our mind becoming one as my entire body lurches forward. I thought I would scream and cry as every bone in my body breaks and rearranges but I could hardly even feel it. She moves my body
I ask her in my head as she swings the back door of the car open, taking the seat and slamming the door closed again. “He only thinks he’s powerful” She spits as I look back at dad alarmed, his jaw ticks as he watches us, coming after us and getting into the car. “You need to control your wolf when we are here” “Control your temper and I won’t fucking ruin your picture perfect performances you peace of shit” My eyes widen as Layla snaps at him, he turns using his fist to hit me. She laughs at him kicking his seat “Do it again and I’ll put you through the fucking window old man” “Oh my gosh Layla stop! It’s just going to make him worse” “One word out of line at this summet and I might just fucking kill you lilly and I’m not joking. Keep her under control” He scolds me, it felt weird having him scold me. Usually he just uses his fists but to have him talk to me in a way a father might talk to his daughter was quite frankly freaky. I close my mouth and drop my he
I woke up with a sense of loss, i panicked not knowing where i was, machine’s were beeping, i was cold, i had no idea what was going on. My heart pounds in my chest as I try to move, my body screamed in pain. I’m blinded by a light as I try and remember what the hell was going on. The faster my heartrate was beating the louder the beeping got, I squint lifting my head Just then the man of dreams runs through the door, realising I was dreaming a take a breath, relaxing as my breathing starts to level out “are you ok!!!” He grabs my face, sparks light up all over my body, layla pushes forward as his touch wakes us up. “That doesn’t normally happen” I whisper to him, he frowns “What doesn’t?” His voice was louder than usual “In my dreams you didn’t feel sparky” Layla pushes forward, purring as she moves our head into his hands. He looks at me puzzled “You dreamed of me?” “Am I not dreaming now?” I ask, he chuckles shaking his head “Nope, I’m all real babe” My mind
“So not to make things awkward but would you mind telling me your name?” I ask scratching the back of my head, the doctor bursts out laughing at the fact, my mate smirks looking at me “Drake, drake moon” “7, double O 7” The doctor teases, drake glares at him as I laugh shaking my head “You realise its bond, James Bond, right?” I ask all out laughing as his face flushes red. Drake snorts, laughing with me “Yeah I think it’s time for mr bond over here to get out, get out right now” He snaps at the poor doctor, I was so busy laughing I didn’t even care that that was totally rude. “Just trying to lighten the mood dude, but whatever. Good luck lilly” He winks as he leaves, closing the door behind him. Drake watches him go then he turns back to me “Did he just call me dude?” He says it like it tasted funny, screwing his face up as I laugh even harder. He chuckles, pulling clothes out of the bag for me. “We didn’t know your size so fiona got you one of those long dresses wit
“You disgust me! You and that monster deserve to burn for what you did to those kids” She drops her head then steps back, her face like stone. The crowd clearly realising who she was to my surprise didn’t hate her, instead my pack opened their arms to her, one woman came right up and she hugs her. “Thank you” She tells her, I smile at my family, they wanted revenge for what Roisin had done but they were not spiteful enough to take it out on her family and that little victory made me proud. Drake walks up to Roisin, nodding at me. I join him as he grabs her head “This is for all those we lost” He snaps her neck, dropping her body on the ground, my eyes meet helens as she stands there. She watches the entire thing. She calmly takes a breath, pulling on her shirt and nodding to me. Then she simply turns and walks away. Drake takes my hand and he leads me home. When we are away from the crowd he wraps his arms around my shoulders
I say sadly, feeling for her parents. It’s not easy to say goodbye to someone, especially your own daughter but we had no other choice, she had to die for her crimes. “It won’t but it’s what’s right, they deserve the chance to say goodbye, even if they don’t like it” I nod in agreement, taking his hand. We grab the babies and quickly head down for breakfast. As we arrive I notice the difference in the atmosphere immediately. Everyone was smiling, laughing and talking, so much easier than they were in the weeks before it. Roisin was finally done weighing on our shoulders, we could kill her and move on once and for all. Life could go back to being just life, just unimaginable peace of mind. We all needed a little of that now. We eat our breakfast with smiles on our faces, everyone had taken the morning off training, the men needed the rest, they deserved to celebrate our small victory today. When we were done we prepared the boardroom for our visitors, all th
I snort “Of Course they did, you're a MONSTER! A disgusting excuse of a person!” I roar, her body starts to tremble, I yank Baylee behind me as she jumps at us, shifting in the air, I rip Baylee away, shifting just in time to take the hit. She crashes into my side, her teeth going to my throat. Layla moves fast, having her fall when she touches us, sending commands through our body so she goes down like a sack of shit. when she’s down she makes her shift as she feels like every bone in her body is being broken. Frozen to the spot. Making her feel the agony she made the kids feel, I gave her all their pain, all the burns and fear. All the trauma that she caused she would now feel. She immediately starts to shift, screaming in agony, the rogues taking their chance as everyone was distracted, attacking from every angle, our men who were pretending to be down jumps up and the battle begins, shocking the rogues but only for a moment I watch as a few of o
When Noah is ready, I pop him in the pram then I lift Sophie and put her next to him. I push them from the room and pout as drake was holding a terrified Baylee in his arms, rocking her around and dancing as he hums ‘my girl’ Pulling my phone out I record the moment, Layla whimpers as we watch silently. One of those moments that should be remembered for forever but most likely it will be forgotten, to make room for less important things. The babies start to chatter so I pocket my phone and smile at drake as he turns, he walks to us “Hey babies” He whispers holding onto Baylee as he talks to them. We head downstairs, baylee didn’t talk or cry, she just sat there in his arms enjoying his presence. As we reach the kitchen drake goes to peel her off his body, she sobs shaking her head “No daddy, don’t go. I’m not ready” He pouts at me, my emotions were all over the place, I had no idea how to handle this. How do you tell a little girl that h
But as I get of his back I smirk opening my eyes as drake runs at me, I dive landing on my hands in front of his body, twisting slightly as my body flies forward, I wrap my legs around his torso as his body collides with mine, I pull myself up and grin at him, wagging my fingers at him as I tell his body to fall. As he falls I land on his waist straddling him. He chuckles shaking his head as I let the command drop “You are amazing” He says kissing my lips softly, I grin against his lips kissing him back harder. “I don’t want to ruin a beautiful moment Luna but do you mind? I need to pee” Ben snaps, drake pulls back laughing as I climb off him and I touch each boy letting them up. “Let’s do it again” I tell them grinning, all of them step back shaking their heads “Nope I think your good” Dad tells me, drake chuckles nodding his head “I agree, you're good. Let’s go get a drink I need one” He tells me, grabbing my ass and yanking me up so I
I face palm, shaking my head. The kid was a genius, and I’m not just saying that because I’m her mum. The child could read full novels in a day, she could do math that I didn’t even think was possible off the top of her head. Sarah wants to test her to see if she even needs to go to school. It’s actually crazy but with that come maturity and maturity means knowing things little girls shouldn’t know so the conversation is always interesting and most definitely entertaining. After the kids had breakfast all of them went to the park with sarah and the new nanny ashley, along with their guard reggie. But as we sit eating our own breakfast with the men Sarah comes running with the babies, reggie comes behind with a past out Baylee in his arms, Dutch was biting his ankles pissed. “Dutch stop” I snap standing up as he thrusts her body into my hand “She just collapsed and started to mumble, I didn’t know what to do” Sarah says panicked. I take a seat and b
Layla tells me excitedly as I open the door, I hadn’t seen it either so walking in for the first time completely blew my mind. It was perfect. I look back at her as she opens her own eyes, gasping. “Wow” She whispers, Layla starts to chirp in happiness as we watch her look around, it took a few seconds but then she giggles jumping on the spot “This is the BEST present iv ever had” She squeals, jumping on the bed, Dutch joining her as she does a little victory dance, her childish cackles fill my heart with joy. The room itself was a baby pink colour, it was so light it was almost white, the bed sat to the side of the room, it was a huge 4 poster king size bed, draped around it and over the top was soft pink tulle, the sheets were a crisp white colour, the added sheets and blankets were different shades of pink, placed neatly on her bed. A large cushion was placed in the middle, on the middle of it had the pack symbol, below it, it read ‘Princess Baylee’ in pink
3 men catch up to them, growling as they try to rip her from her mothers arms. She pulls away, tripping over the roots of the trees. They were bad men, men that hurt her and her mummy way too many times. She knew she couldn’t go with them, not now her mummy was gone. As one catches her by the foot something deep inside Baylee erupts, I can feel it from her very core, her hardwire was different from everyone else and that’s the moment she realised that, even if she didn’t know what it was. The feeling builds, a gush of what felt like wind, but it resembled more like spirit as it’s pulled into her body, into every fibre that was Baylee Then it pops, like a bomb only this bomb came from inside the little girl, her soul, her very core screams louder than Iv ever heard before. The force sending the bad men flying. Their spirit ripped right out of their bodies as they fall to the ground dead. She screams until she knows they are gone, her heart was racing so fast she
“Amazing sarah thank you, see you tomorrow” She nods her head, wagging her fingers at baylee as she heads into the tv room, I skip down the hall to baylees room and I open the door for her “Now this is all yours” She grins looking inside but then her face falls and she steps back “What’s wrong?” I ask, she shakes her head “No I can’t sleep in there, I need to sleep with you so you can keep me safe” Her little heart starts pounding in her chest as she nearly hyperventilates. “But you are safe babe, we have the best guards who will be on watch all night, nobody is getting in here and we will be just in there” Drake tells her, Kneeling to her level. She shakes her head “No, the last time I slept on my own the fire came, I can’t please. No” She shakes her head, tears pooling in her eyes, I grab her, pulling her into my chest and letting her rest on my hip “Shusssssh it’s ok baby, you can sleep with us, it’s ok” I tell her, Layla p
