Not Just A Girl Chapter 19
JAYSON Sitting around this table is something I didn't think I'd actually enjoy. Living a life in the packhouse, we didn't have these close-knit dinners. They were always fancy, catered, spread out. Sitting in this intimate setting with Sarah's family, makes me realize that this is what we're fighting for. The love I feel from these people is worth me risking my own life over. "Mmph...this is so good, Marie." I say as I chew a mouthful of my third helping of her amazing roast. "You'll have to give the recipe to our kitchen. I don't think I can go long before I have this again." I swallow and cut another piece. "No way, Mister." Marie says. "It's a family secret. You want more, you knock on that door." I point my fork at her. "I'm going to hold you to that." Marie laughs as she drinks her wine. Shane swallows his mouthful. "So, when's the next weapons training. I never got to fire anything off the first time." My dad drops his fork. "Shane, must you talk about weapons at the di

SARAH Jayson's parents are wonderful. His brothers are nice once you get passed the flirting. Nate's my favorite. Maybe it's because we're closer in age. He treats me like a little sister and I love it. I always wanted a big brother. As it turns out, we're very similar people too. One thing we love is video games. Which is why Nate and me have been posted up in front of the 72-inch flat screen in the gaming room. On the floor, legs crossed like a couple of ten year olds. Kicking each other's asses in a marathon of games. Honestly, I haven't seen Jayson in hours. "Ugh....I'm going to kill you! That was my best weapon!" Nate grits, frantically pushing buttons. "Snooze you lose, buddy. It's what happens when you fight a champ." I giggle. Pushing my own buttons. He bites his lip. "Well, I'm playing hard ball, now. You're going down!" He pushes more buttons. "Big mistake!" I push a button and his character dies. "My inventory!" He yells. He whips his head to me. "One more!" "Sorry

JAYSON "You're late. Sit down." My dad barks as I enter his office. I grab a chair across from him and sink into it. "Sorry. I was just checking to make sure Sarah was still being taken care of." Derek, from beside me, snorts. "Yeah, I bet you were taking care of her." I whip my head around and shoot him glare. He chuckles. "Relax. God, you're so high strung. Think you'd be more relaxed with your new little doll to play with." I lean back. "Jealous?" I smirk. "Damn straight. Trust me, if you weren't your father's kid, I'd be snaking that hottie right out from underneath you." He laughs while crossing his legs. My eyes narrow and a growl comes deep in chest. My father shakes his head. "Can we focus please?" "Sorry." Derek says still with a shit eating grin on his face. "I've received some new information that will certainly help things. The Alpha." My dad pulls out a file. I sit up. "Who is it?" "Surprisingly, Desmond White." He opens it and tosses a photo of a dark tanned

SARAH"Come on, guys or you're taking the bus!" Jayson yells from his car parked on the road outside my house."Bye, mom. Bye, dad." I hug them quickly as Shane busts by me through the door."Shotgun!" He yells. Running and adjusting his duffle on his shoulder.Jayson puts his hand up. "No way. You get in the back." He flips the front seat forward."Dude. Don't you know the code? Bros before...." Shane stops in mid-sentence as Jayson glares at him, arms folded.Shane swallows. ".... uh...Girls.""Get in the back." Jayson grits. Pushing him into the car."I'm ready." I pant. Jayson takes my duffle."About time. Get in." I get in as Jayson drops our bags in the trunk.My dad walks up to the car. "You take good care of my kids.""I will. See you next break." Jayson climbs in, revs the engine and drives out, heading to the highway.With break over, the fun is over too. Now, we have to concentrate on training for the biggest battle of all our young lives. It's time to prove we aren't a bun

JAYSON "Alright! Eyes on me!" I boom. As I look down the long line of recruits. "Today, I show you just what controlling your shift looks like! One fluid motion! Being able to shift on the fly, allows you to manipulate the battle field. Allows you to redirect the fight to your favor! There are many instances you'll come up against where your human form will be better than your wolf! Now, I know some of you are still getting to know your wolves, so here's your chance to learn control! Take charge! You and your wolf will be one machine! Like this...." I set myself at the top of the line. I hook a hand to the back of my shirt and pull it off. Dropping my shorts and throwing them aside. I lower my head and concentrate. Telling my wolf what we're doing. I ball my fists flexing my chest. I raise my head and run fast. I jump and shift my silver paws hitting the ground. My wolf makes a few steps jumps and I shift to human form. Landing on my feet, still running. I jump and shift into my

SARAHEven though Jayson is dead serious about this wolf training thing, I can't help but have fun with it. I guess it's because I'm not actually going to die here.We sparred for the whole week. We redid the wolf battle. The defenders won this time. The invaders didn't stand a chance. We stopped them in their tracks.Friday morning was agility. Jayson and the other Alphas led us into the woods.We were running in a pack. Through the rough terrain of the forest. It was just supposed to be another training exercise. Little did we know it would turn out to be a trial run for what's to come.As we ran through creeks, over rocks and around trees, we had no idea we were being watched.I was sticking close to Ash, when I caught a scent. My wolf stopped and her ears perked.With the pack almost out of sight up ahead, I took a couple of steps toward the scent.My eyes focused. My ears heard the faint sound of panting.The ground vibrated under my paws. My wolf trained her sight on a spot betw

JAYSON I spent almost all night with the guys in my office. Pouring through videos and reports. Trying to figure out how ten rogues got passed our security. Ten rogues. Just ten left eleven injured, two severely and several traumatized. Just ten. What's a hundred going to do? Although we managed to kill six of them, I'm left wondering if this is still a good idea. What if the fight is worse? What if we lose? I'm sitting in my chair behind my desk. Asking myself these questions as the guys argue about what to do. "I say, we gather those who want to go, and search these fuckers out! Drag their asses back here and beat the fucking answers out of them!" Luke slammed his large fist on the conference table. Knocking me out of my thoughts. I shook my head. "We have no idea where to even look, Luke." He leaned on the conference table. "We're fucking wolves, Jay! What?! Is your fucking nose broken?!" I stood and glared. "No, but yours is going to be if you don't fucking cool it." He c

JAYSONAfter days of searching, Luke came back empty handed. Rick, the office guy, came back with a general description of almost every male here. We had nothing.Cass repaired the fencing and we had no choice, but to continue as business as usual.Some of the kids were still clearly apprehensive about going anywhere near the woods on the property. Not wanting to be surprised again. I had to reassure them, that it won't happen again. And it won't because Cass had a team go out and install a major back up power supply to the fences that can only be controlled from my office. This way, if anyone does decide to cut the wires to the fence, the backup kicks in at ten times the normal voltage. Giving the asshole a nice jolt. We also installed more trips for the perimeter alarms and were clearing out all the spots that are hard to see. It's a major job, but these kids have become my life and I'll be damned if anyone hurts my kids.My report was very general in nature. I purposely left it vag

SARAH"Maddie, I thought you said you were going to help me." I glare at my sister, filing her nails on my couch."Don't you have people now to move those?" She waves at the piles of boxes surrounding me.I stomp over to her. "I don't have people. I have you. Come on." I grab her hand and pull her off the couch."Sarah, I'm going to get all sweaty." She whines.My dad walks in with a box. "Maddie, help your sister." He warns.I shove a box in her hand. She rolls her eyes. "Fine." Carrying the box to Jayson's room."Whoa!" Vic almost walks into a tower of boxes."Checking in?" Nate teases."Hi, guys!" I run over and give them both a hug. "I missed you. I have so much to tell you."Vic pushes past headed for the dining hall. "I'm starving."Nate looks around at the mess I've made moving into the packhouse. "Apparently."Maddie comes down and Nate sees her. Not taking his eyes off her, he waves me down. "Later though." He walks over to Maddie. "Hi. I'm Nate. You are...." He reached out h
Not Just A Girl Chapter 41
JAYSONGod, I love being in love.Sarah's my everything. I feel like I can do anything. Stand up to anything. Fight anything.She gives me so much power.Seeing her stand up to River like that had me beaming with pride. My Luna doesn't take crap from anyone. Not even Alphas. Especially when her home is involved.Which us why I wish she was here right now with me while I meet with Alpha Andrews and River. Apparently, he called back up. That being the Alpha of Falcon Ridge.I'm sitting in my office with these two across from me at the conference table.Andrews has his hands folded. "Alpha Duke.""Please. Call me Jay." I smile as I lean back in my chair. I'm probably cockier than I should be right now, but I don't care."Jay." He sighs. "You know you don't have a leg to stand on here.""See. That's where you're wrong." I sit up. "Since I'm now the new Alpha in charge, I have full right to disrupt or destroy any agreements made by my father. Under the guise that his decision is not what's

SARAHAs soon as we got downstairs, Jayson handed me his phone. "Call your mother." He nodded.I dialed my mom. When she answered and I told her I was safe, she could barely talk.They were at the packhouse in ten minutes.Shane busted through the door. "Sarah!"I smiled. "Here." I called from the common room.H saw me and ran full tilt into me knocking us to the floor. "You never leave me again!"Jayson came out of the dining hall with a cup of coffee to see the commotion. He saw us on the floor giggling like children.Shane got up and helped me up. He wiped his eyes and tried to act all tough. "If you do that to me again, I'm going to knock you out." He shook a fist at me."Oh please." I scoffed. "I can take you out with one hand behind my back."He hugged me again."Hey, brat." Maddie was crying. "Don't scare me like that. It causes wrinkles you know."I laugh through the tears that start to fall. The three of us hug.Jayson watches us. He walks over to my parents. "Adam, Marie. Ho
Not Just A Girl Chapter 39
JAYSONAfter our mate bonding experience, I led Sarah down the hill to the car. I grabbed a blanket from my trunk and wrapped her in it.I put her in the car and texted everyone to tell them I found her.She fell asleep almost instantly the whole two hours home. Keeping an eye on the highway, I would glance over at my angel. Moving her hair so I can see her face.As I looked out at the road I glanced up. Looking at the moon now past its peak. "Thank you." I whisper to it. I never believed in cosmic beings but I'm sure now, there's something out there and I thank fuck it was listening to me.As we pull into Black Lake, she stirs."Hey, kid. Have a good sleep?" I smile at her.She gets up. Her hairs a mess but I don't care. She could look like hell warmed over and I'll still love her to death. I will admit though. She needs a shower."How long was I asleep?""Two hours. Has anyone told you, you snore?" I grin.She slaps me. "I do not!""Oh yeah, you do. I almost pulled over because I th

JAYSONI'm going out of my fucking mind.I'm in my office. Stewing. It's been three days since Luke got back and my emotions are amped 100 times. Of course, it doesn't help the fucking moon is tonight.I was going to have the best time with Sarah. I was going to dance with her, kiss her. Make love to her and mark her. Making her mine forever.Now, I don't know if I'll ever see her alive again.I pound back a shot of Whiskey. There's a knock at my door."Come." I bark.The door opens. "Hello, son." My father walks in.My eyes narrow. "What do you want?""Son." He walks in."Don't fucking son me. You sold us out!" I pour another glass and sip it.He shook his head. "I had no choice. The council twisted my arm."I pound back my shot and slammed my glass on the desk. I stood up. "No! You had a fucking choice! You're just too much of coward to stand up to them!""We can't fight them, Jayson! When are you going to realize that?!" He yelled back."Oh, I'm fighting them. They will pry this pa

JAYSON"Ok, Shane. Hit me." I hold up the pads as Shane stands on front of me with taped fists.He strikes the pad. "Good. Again."He strikes the other. This time harder. "Excellent."He hits the pad again. This time I'm feeling it in my hands. "Good job, buddy...."I watch him as his face slowly changed from concentration to anger. He hits the pads faster and harder. His breathing is sped up. His body tensed. My hands are really starting to hurt as he hits the pads over and over.I look at the tape and it's turning red."Shane. Slow it down." I say as I see something build inside him. He still swinging.He starts to move in on me, forcing me to back up. "Shane!" I up my tone to snap him out of it as he attacks me.He's moving in more. Throwing out punch after punch.I see a tear roll down his cheek. He's growling now and gritting his teeth. His eyes start to glow blue.I push him back. "Shane!!""Argghh...." He comes back at me.Swinging faster punching at anything now.I toss a pad
Not Just A Girl Chapter 36
JAYSON I'm desperate. Angry. My legs are on fire but don't fucking care. I've been running for hours. Sniffing the air and the ground. My biggest problem is the entire forest is filled with the scent of rogue. I'm not a tracker. I can't zone in on anything. On the ground, paw prints are everywhere. In no discernible direction and no human tracks what so ever. Which means Sarah is being carried. Or they made her shift. I push forward, looking for anything. After another three hours, I shift. My wolf is tired and hungry. I lean on a tree and slide down to the ground. My knees drawn up and my elbows on my thighs. I'm breathing heavy as my hands run into my hair. Gripping it in desperation. My breaths are coming out as whines as I process the fact that Sarah's gone forever. In the hands of White. Anything could be happening to her. As my frustration builds, I lash out. Screaming and hitting the ground. I kick my leg out and my foot hits something. I look, confused. Tilting my hea
Not Just A Girl Chapter 35
SARAHI don't know how long we've been running. Shortly after I lost sight of Jayson, I lost consciousness. I don't know who this guy is, but he's got a mean grip. When I come too, I'm hit with a sickening stench right under my nose.It takes me a minute to realize I'm moving. I'm facing the ground and it's whizzing by me.I feel fur under me.As I come back to reality, I see I'm on the back of a rogue. Hog tied around his stomach."Wh..Wha..what?" I panic. Trying to move my hands and feet.The beast I'm on growls and thumps his back. Jostling me. My guess to settle me down. Well fuck that noise.I pull myself up and pull the rope up on his side.The rope pulls his skin and fur and as my legs slip under him, he lost his focus and balance. We both veer off, skidding into the dirt. The rope snaps.It takes a second for me to realize I'm free and I pull the ropes off. Running as fast as I can. Into the forest. I'm crying as I run. I don't know where I'm headed. Just anywhere, but here.J
Not Just A Girl Chapter 34
JAYSONIt really is amazing what kind of tech you can bring on a mission like this. You think you'd have to sacrifice things like communication to the outside world, but not with the mission unit. We got that covered.With every break, River's been communicating with the leaders and the bases. Getting Intel as we get closer to the rogue packs. Our trackers have them out maybe half day.River's pacing around on a satellite phone. He runs to a laptop. "Show me."He pushes some buttons. He looks at the photos and stands. Rubbing his forehead. He looks to me and waves me over.I jog over to him and skid to a stop at the make shift table where the laptop was sitting.He points to the picture. "This was over a day ago."I scan the sight. Rogue bodies, stripped to the bone. The place looked like a horror show."And this." He clicks another button. "Was ten miles from there."I look at what looks like a deer herd. Gutted. Destroyed. They were barely recognizable. And it wasn't just that. It w
