~James~”What is going on?” ”Malias family called, they want her back, another job they said,””Job?” I looked at Malia and saw her defeated expression.”There is a lot I haven't told you about my family but I will the next time I see you, for now, just let me go,” Amber took a step back, her eyes fell and she looked broken.”Of course, let us know if there is anything you need,” ”I will, thank you for everything,” Malia walked over to Amber who turned her face away.Malia placed a kiss on her cheek, wiping away a few tears of her own. As they walked to the door, Malia turned around.”I will be back, nothing could ever keep me from getting back to you,” ”I wish nothing could ever make you leave me,” Amber whispered. My heart shattered for my sister but Malia wouldn't have left if there was another way. ”One day I won't have to, I promise,” Those were her last words as she left, walking behind the Alpha, an entirely different Malia than she was when she was here. She put on a mas

~James~”When Malia was twelve, her parents thought they'd try and see what Malia was capable of and since she didn't have her wolf, they started beating her until she got angry enough to fight back. They could've given her some of their blood to speed up the healing process but instead, they tossed her back in her room, chained her to the bed, and left her to heal on her own. Malia never fought back because she couldn’t. She didn't know her strength, she had no guidance and no one to help her through her shifting. When she turned of age and got her wolf, she couldn't shift because she was chained up in silver. So her parents brought her outside and waited until she had shifted. For a born werewolf, the shifting is already painful enough, breaking every bone in your body, bending your will to fight the pain, the screams of agony, I've witnessed it. But for a vampire who is used to practically not feeling pain at all, ever, and then being turned to something everyone loathes and having

~Avery~James had gone downstairs after spending the better part of three hours thrusting into me from every different position there was. This heat was becoming much more inconvenient as time went by. He had appointed me to room-lock down, something about the other male wolves in the pack not being able to control their urges. Now that the heat had subsided my mind was beginning to work again and the story of Malias' childhood was causing me to feel all kinds of emotions- most of all rage. ’ You need to control that’You heard what Raven said, Xena, don’t tell me you don't wanna rip their throats out’ I do but I can control myself, can you say the same thing about yourself?’Well, I haven't gone there yet, have I ?’And if they were here? Knowing what you know now, If they were standing in front of you at this moment, would you be able to control that anger inside of you?’I didn’t answer Xenas' question, which gave her all the answers she needed. ’Didn’t think so and that is wh

~Avery~”It’s telling me to run,”Amber's eyes grew colder, darker, and more distant than they had been before. Her entire body posture went from slumped to rigid and Amber's hands pulled away as she got up on her feet and walked out of the room. Left behind was the cold loneliness I wanted to prevent, I thought telling Amber the truth would set me free in a sense, that I wouldn't be alone. But here I was, on the verge of a breakdown, alone. I couldn't cry because nothing would come out, I felt numb and fearful. Afraid of what lay ahead. Everyone was dealing with their own issues and everyone was on edge due to the upcoming war so I understood, but they dealt with it so regally. They knew of the dangers and their demons, we all had them, but they were handling theirs and I was afraid of mine. I wished I could do what they did, they handled their shit and then moved on with life. ”Here,” a pile of clothes landed at my feet and I looked up to see Amber already dressed in a pair of j

~Avery~”If you wanted to kill me, there are tastier ways to do it,” I said and slowly opened my eyes. The light was blinding and my vision was blurred. White dots were forming before me, blurry and un-symmetric as they bubbled closer together. I shut my eyes and shook my head, trying to regain my composure, I willed my eyes to slowly flutter open, letting them adjust to the lighting and once they had, I felt great. No more nausea, no stomach ache, and no heat. ”How do you feel?” Natashas' hand was on my shoulder, her thumb slowly stroking me as she helped me to the couch. ”Much better, thank you. What was that?””A mix of herbs and-” Natasha paused for a beat, her eyes darting between me and the cup. ”Other things,” Her lips formed a pout as she disregarded my question and placed the cup in the sink. ”What was it that you poured out earlier?” Amber looked at Natasha and both of us noticed the sudden change as Natasha stopped what she was doing. She had frozen, she wasn't moving

~Avery~We sat there and talked, a few moments were silent and peaceful-something we all seemed to appreciate.”Isn’t it hard for you, being away from Carlos?” Natasha scoffed and looked at the clock. ”He will be here in a few hours, there is no way that man would let me leave without coming here to find me. He’s with the pack during the days and then comes here at night. On the other hand, I wouldn't ever forgive him if he didn't come, we need each other and a single night away is one night too many,” ”I hear that,” Amber said lowly.She missed Malia and I understood her. Being away from James before was excruciating and considering they weren't marked either, the fear of losing the bond was there, I knew it because I had felt it too. So I could imagine the pain Amber was going through, only hers was worse because she had no idea when- or if- they'd meet again. But I would make sure they did.”How do you think the war will go?” She was asking Natasha.”Had this been another war, f

”WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?” James roared as he slammed his fists down on his desk. His eyes were glowing and Blade had surfaced, just as pissed as his human. Fredric, Alex, and Raven were there too and I could see the same amount of worry and anger in Alex's eyes. Raven, however, seemed madder at Amber so I was glad that she too got some of the heat.I winced and stepped forward. ”We went to see Natasha,” I looked back and saw Natasha standing there looking as cool as ever, not bothered a single bit by the tension that was growing. I groaned and looked back at my mate.”There is a war happening any day now and you decide to leave the pack without a single word? How stupid are you, Avery?” Alex spat his words and his hands were shaking, I could tell he was just as mad as James but his anger wasn't justified to me and rather it pissed me off. ”You’re the one to talk? You haven't spoken a word to me ever since the night we saved James, you've ignored me and you chose to ignore ma

~Avery~My patience was running thin and this chaotic group of idiots, whom I loved very much, weren't helping the situation.James took long slow strides towards me and stopped only when my chest was pressed up against his. ”There she is,” he whispered before walking past me and taking a seat. ”Throwing blame and screaming your guts out won't get you anywhere. We understand that we fucked up, and I am very, truly, undeniably sorry for the pain we caused you by leaving, but we had a good reason for it. I told Amber what I’ve been going through and I'm going to give you all a re-cap.” I sighed and looked at all of their faces, one by one they all started paying me their undivided attention and I no longer feared to tell the truth because I now knew how to handle it.”I’ve been fighting this darkness within me, a growing cloud of pain and hate, something that was making me angry and fearful. It was what came over me when James was on the deathbed, it was why I acted out of anger and f
