Panther Chapter One Hundred-Fourteen
I knock on the door three times, taking a step back and watching for movement while I wait. I can hear heavy footsteps approaching the door."I told you not to bother- oh. Luna. What's up?" Matt's face drops a little when he sees it's me, and I feel my heart sink. Keep going."Hey. I came to talk to Angel. She around?" He pursues his lips for a second and squints at me before nodding."Yeah. Come on in." I walk past him into the living room. I stop in the middle of the room when I spot Angel on the couch. The TV is on, some reality TV show. She's turned around, staring at me without moving an inch. For once, there's no venom on her face. No hate or bitterness. Now that's not to say she looks particularly pleased to see me, but it's a different look than I'm used to seeing on her."I'd like to talk to her in private, Matt." I say, maintaining eye contact with Angel."I don't know if that's a good idea." I hear him say behind me. I roll my eyes and turn around, closing the distance betw
Panther Chapter One Hundred-Fifteen
He's very quiet. I'm aware.I was following Matt through the woods. Neither of us were speaking. Am I supposed to say something? He was the one who wanted to talk to you."I'm sorry, I'm not very good at talking to people about things like this." Matt's voice pierces the silence suddenly. He holds a tree branch out of the way for me, and I can see we're coming up on a small stream that runs through the woods."What things are we talking about?" I ask. The terrain shifts from forest floor and fades into rocks and loose gravel closer to the water. My eyes catch on a particular arrangement of big rocks, all leaning against each other. I remember this place. This was where Ike had marked me. I look around a little, taking it in the daylight. I should bring Nate down here. He would like it. Matt picks a butt sized rock and sits on it, staring at the trickling stream flowing by in front of him. I hesitate behind him for a moment, unsure of what I'm supposed to be doing."I've known Angel w

Present..."Cleo..." Charlie's sleep ridden voice yanks me from my thoughts. I feel my heart racing as he stirs, his grip tightening around me for a second. I would rather him be asleep than awake and able to try something untoward with me.With this thought in mind, I start gently combing my fingers through his hair. He sighs and I feel him nestle back into me.While this action made my panther shudder in disgust, I understood the importance of what I was doing.Eventually, Charlie was going to want to mate with me. I knew that. I could already see the look forming in his eye when I'd catch him staring at me. It was a dark look, a hungry look.And I wanted nothing to do with it.I knew when he finally made his move on me, my scheme would crumble. Because snuggling my older brother was one thing, but I wasn't a good enough actress to fuck him. I would reject him, and I imagine it's going to piss him off.I hope Nate and Ike get to me before then. "Let her sleep, she had a long day ye
Panther Chapter One Hundred Seventeen-Nate
I found myself wondering yet again if involving Ike in this was a good idea.When I found out where Cleo was, I was so shocked, not to mention the getting chased away part, I thought of nowhere else to come but back to her other mate's pack.But now that I'm here, I am starting to regret it.I've been here for seven hours and we've yet to formulate a solid plan.Ike wants to charge in with all the guards and take Cleo back by force. Matt wants to scope the place out, see what they're dealing with. Of course, Ike is too impatient for that and says he's Alpha and can do what he wants. Matt says, yes, you are Alpha, which is exactly why you shouldn't endanger the lives of your pack members willy nilly.They've been going around in this circle for hours now, and it was starting to get a little tedious.I was currently leaning against the front door in Ike's living room, which was a total wreck, by the way. The door wasn't even attached, just leaning against the frame to cover the hole le

"What would you like to see first, Luna?" Asks Abby the second I step out of the bathroom. Steam trickles into the bedroom and water drips from my hair. I had to get dressed half wet because I could still hear her out there, and I preferred strangers not to see me naked. Yeah, right. Not these strangers, that's for damn sure. Because of that my bra was crooked feeling, the straps were all twisted up, and my leggings were bunching up around my ankles and ass because I couldn't pull them up all the way. I felt uncomfortable, overall."Uhm. I don't know. What are my options?" I ask, fiddling with my pants to try and pull them up more. My legs were still wet though. I huffed in frustration."How about I just lead the way." She smiles at me and opens the bedroom door, stepping aside to let me leave first.I bristle a little when I walk out and finally see the two wolves who have been standing outside my door this entire time. Well, maybe not the exact same ones.I meet the eyes of the one
Panther Chapter One Hundred Nineteen
Abby showed me the entire house. All six bedrooms, three bathrooms, three entertainment rooms, one giant garage, and attached greenhouse, which I was not supposed to go in without Charlie. Course that immediately made me want to go into it.When we were done, she said I was free to go back to my room or wander around the house, but like the greenhouse, I wasn't allowed to leave without Charlie. At least two guards would be within ten feet of me at all times.They were not giving me any wiggle room to escape.Maybe my brother did know me."So, when is he coming back?" I ask my guards as I crash onto the plushy couch with an "oomph." Abby had slinked away, saying something about finding me a bra. I felt bad I had even complained about the one she had given me, I wouldn't have said anything if I knew she was going to take it so hard."In time for dinner." Tilly said. She was standing in the doorway, watching the TV as I turned it on and started flipping through the streaming services. The

I roll over and sit up, wrapping the blanket around my shoulders and leaning against the couch facing the still playing cartoon.I can see him from the corner of my eye watching me, but I don't say anything. He was half standing up, like he changed his mind mid action. I just watch the show."This doesn't mean I'm going to call off the guards, you know." I smile and turn to him. I pull my knees up to my chest and lay my blanketed arms across the tops of them. I lay facing him, maintaining eye contact the entire time."I'm just here for the ride." I look at him for a second longer before turning back to the TV.I feel my insides crumbling with relief when he sits down slowly on the floor. He's about three feet away, facing the TV screen as well."What are you watching?""Not sure. Mark put it on, said it had an evil baby with a talking dog sidekick. It caught my attention." I see him leaning against the couch, clenching and unclenching his fists. I could tell he felt uncomfortable. It

You are my sunshine,My only sunshine.You make me happy,When skies are grey.You'll never know dear,How much I love you.Please don't take.My sunshine.Away.Luna."Luna?"I jolted awake, my heart racing and all my hairs standing straight up.Whose voice was that?I've never heard it before... I don't think."Are you okay?" I snap back to where I currently am, which is sitting up in Charlie's bed with a new wolf staring at me intensely. "I'll get a doctor, don't move.""No, no." I shake my head and throw the covers off me. "I'm good. Sorry. I just had a weird dream."The guy in front of me was pretty average looking, a bit more muscular than your everyday human, but nothing appalling. His face is cute and boyish, clean of facial hair or scars. He has scruffy brown hair with pieces of blue poking out here and there. He seems to notice me looking, and blushes as he picks at a couple strands."My little sister begged me to let her." He smiles sheepishly. I cock my head to the side, t

"You little shit, get your ass back here." I laugh from my spot on the kitchen counter, watching Nate chase our naked child, Liam around the living room with a yellow bath towel clutched in his hand. Liam stops then, turning around to grin at his dad. He was only three, but was already extremely mobile, and had a smile just like his dad's. "Are you going to help me?" Nate sighs, glaring up at me as Liam yells and resumes running around like a mad man with his arms up in the air. I shake my head a little, pointing to where Liam is now standing on the couch. He grins at his dad, who finally swoops in and grabs him in his arms, wrapping the towel around him tightly as he does so. "Ha! Got you!" Nate declares as he wrestles Liam so he's upside down in his arms. He squeals with delight as Nate carries him like that back towards his room to put clothes on, calling him a weakling the entire time. But Liam loves it. He loves his dad, and he loves playing and "fighting" with him.I smile a

Why is it so often when I'm waking up in the morning, I'm in pain? I groan, stretching my arms above my head and blinking away sleep. I wince as harsh daylight assaults my eyes. My head pounds, and I bring a hand up to rub at my temple."Fuck." I groan, sitting up and leaning against the bed's headboard. I look down at where Ike is facing away from me, towards the wall, hugging himself and with no blanket. Nate is on the other side, also facing away, burrioted up in the entire blanket. I fall forward and start to crawl between them to get out of the bed. I stop when I feel a hand grabbing my ankle. Nate's green eyes are already staring at me. He's rolled over and untucked himself from his blanket tomb. "You're not going to make me chase you again, are you?" I furrow my brow, sitting in a crawling position, trying to think why I would run away. "Oh." I say when I finally realize what Ike had done to Nate last night. I didn't actually see anything, but I remember one of Ike's hands

I leave Ike at the bottom of the stairs, taking Cleo into my bedroom first and laying her down gently. She starts wiggling around, smiling and rubbing all over the sheets. Weirdo. I go back for Ike, who is pulling himself up the stairs, or trying to. He's got one hand on the second step, his other on the first. "Can I help you?" I ask, bending down to wrap one of his arms around my shoulder and putting my arm around his middle. "Here we go." He mumbles as I half drag him to my bed.I let him fall onto it, barely avoiding Cleo, who has taken her leggings off finally and is laying like a starfish on the bed. I sigh. I turn and flip the light off, kicking my shoes off as I do. Off come my pants and shirt. "Move." I huff, closing Cleo's legs and scooting her to one side of the bed. "You too." Ike listens for once, but only because he wants to be Cleo's big spoon. I roll my eyes and fall into the empty space beside them.I lay on one arm, staring at the ceiling for a moment before clo

"You know what her parents told me earlier?" Ike tilts his head to stare at me. I shake my head. "They told me, that this is the last time they'll be seeing Cleo." I freeze at his words. My eyes dart around to try and find the two in question. "Don't bother looking for them. They went back to their place and are leaving first thing in the morning. They aren't even planning on saying goodbye." He shakes his head at me. "I mean, why come in the first place?" He scoffs, finishing off his drink. "Just to rub it in her face that you exist?" He's staring at Cleo, muttering to himself now really more than talking to me. "Did they say why?" I nudge him to try and get his drunk ass to focus. He kind of blinks and shakes his head before looking back to me again. "They said they couldn't stay or come visit her because of the rules of being part of The Circle," He scoffs at their title. "And that she couldn't visit them because if anyone knew they had a daughter out there they'd try and make he
Panther Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Two
My peace with Cleo is ripped away by that fuck head Thomas, who snatches Cleo away over his shoulder and yells something about loving tequila. Had he just been waiting for the perfect chance to steal her away again? "Oh my god." I rub the bridge of my nose and make eye contact with Cleo as she sits up on Thomas to grin at me like a child. I lean back and cross my arms as I watch him take her to a group of guards. "I got her!" He yells in victory. The guards cheer and whoop in excitement. "Your mates have had enough of your time!" Zach proclaims as Thomas sets Cleo down. "And besides, it's your turn to chug something!" I groan, and I'm about to rush over and stop her, but I halt when Ike and Parker walk up to me from their spot in the crowd. "I wanted to introduce you two." Ike says, stopping in front of me. I'm half sitting, half standing, midway to snatching Cleo away from the frat boys. I glance at her for a second and see her snapping the neck off a bottle of tequila. I sigh,

"Why do you people insist on doing this to me?" She complains as I carry her away from her group of fans. "It's just easier than arguing with you." I reply. She makes an offended noise, struggles to sit up for a moment, and then flicks me on the back of the head. I roll my eyes, hiking my shoulder up a little into her gut and smiling at the noise she makes. I approach a table that's empty on one end and set Cleo down in a chair. "Wait here." I look her in the eye to make sure she's paying attention, and then turn to track down some water.I spot coolers near one of the tables closest to the fire and make my way through chatting and drinking people. I didn't realize how many people were a part of Ike's pack now a days until they were all converged together like this.I finally make it to the line of eight coolers and start opening them to find one not filled to the brim with liquor. Finally, I get my hands on a cold bottle of water. There was only a single cooler with them in it; ty
Panther Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Nate
Fuck that guy. Fuck him. I fucking hated him. He was fucking dick. I wanted to shove his face into the ground and rub it in. I ran through the trees, pine needles whipping at my panther's face as we escaped, past the pack's borders, further and further into the forest. My rage drives me to run for almost three hours before my panther finally stops, gasping for air and muscles aching. He finds a stream nearby and hunches over to take a long drink before we head back. What did I think was going to happen? I mean, I knew who this guy was, or at least what other's told me about him. And no one had anything good to say, not so far. They all said he was mean, and petty, and demanding as hell. He abandoned me in the woods to fend for myself when I so small, I couldn't even remember it happening. But the way he looked at me, pissed me off. Like I was scum. Like I was the one who should be begging for forgiveness. He was the asshole.But as we start running back to our pack, I can't st

I look away from the lively party scene after a moment, back to the table behind me. "Ooo." I snatch an unopened bottle of tiny blue vodka someone had left behind. Hoped they hadn't planned on coming back for it. "Excuse you." I make a whining noise when Nate is snatching the bottle from my lips before I can chug it. "Drink this instead." I sigh at the cold bottle of water he's put in my hand. "If I must." I crack the top. "You must." He plops in a chair beside me, sighing heavily and watching me drink. "Where have you been?" I ask once I've twisted the top back on the now half empty bottle. "You've been gone a really long time." I raise by brows at him, and the corner of his lip lifts up a little."And that drove you to drink?" I laugh loudly. "No, I just felt like it was time to get drunk." "Right." He nods, eyeing me. I blink innocently at him. "Can I say something?" I blurt out as he watches me. He ticks his eyebrow. "I think your dad is a fucking chode." He shakes his hea

"You better chug that shit!" "Come on bitch!" I jump in the air, yelling with Noah and Thomas at Zach, who was halfway through chugging an entire bottle of peach flavored vodka. "Don't be a pussy!" I punch him in the arm, a grin spread across my face. He pushes me off a little, flipping me off and continuing to guzzle the artificially flavored rubbing alcohol. "Let's go!" Thomas yells, throwing his half full beer on the ground in overly excited celebration at his friend finally reaching the neck of the bottle. Zach holds his hand up, and we all stare at him silently in eager anticipation for a moment, until he finally pulls the empty bottle away and makes a loud "ah" noise like it was a refreshing drink on a hot day. "Suck it, sluts." He slurs, grinning at us and throwing the bottle on the ground. I laugh, clapping my hands and stumbling back a little. "You thought I couldn't do it." He points his finger towards me, wiggling it a little in my face. I grin and clap him on the shou
