Jax’s Cellphone rings.
I reached in my back pocket and seen the flashing screen with the familiar number I versed myself with, my eyes rolled in the back of my head. Annoyed that he of all people would be calling me in the middle of something.
“Who is it?” Seth asked.
I picked up my face and watched as Seth still managing to shove food in his mouth as we been here all day and most of the night, sunshine did say he needed a lot of meat to heal. “It’s Allen”
I dropped the chewed up food from my mouth, now it don’t taste so great “Answer it”
“And tell him what?, I know what he has done to you?” this wouldn’t have happened if my father would have been a better ruler over these lands, instead, Of letting the wolves do what they want, I know once I’m king, the wolf lands would change. Starting with all the Alpha’s
“See what he wants, but don’t tell him that I’m alive” I want it to be a surprise when he finds out.
“Ok
I must have sat outside in the backyard for about two hours now. Logan was just finishing up the last bit of the Dolls energy. “The winner of the backyard brawl: Dollmaker Vs Ryder first edition - is Logan Freeman of the undershadow” Gary said in his playful referee voice. “Shut it old man” I said zapping Ryder to weaken him. “I’m not in the mood to be mocked” “Awe, come on, that was a good fight, we should have another and invite the rest of the boys over and make it into a weekly sporting event” I laughed. I bent down to pick up Ryders tiny body that had been reduced back to the size of my hand and picked it up. “What, no handshake? its customary to give your opponent a handshake- you know to show good sportsmanship” I wasn’t in the mood for Gary’s jokes “Did you know?” I asked while shaking the doll in his face. I raised a brow to Logans question? “Did I know what?” “That Logan was and has been” I said unable t
I entered my bedroom and tossed Ryder in a small cage-like box, a cherry red seal shimmered off the iron bars that were only spaced not even four fingers apart. “This box can’t keep me in here!” I said as I placed my hands on the iron bars but was pushed back. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you old man” I said as I locked the gate to the cage. I can see the rage in Ryders wooden black eyes, he was pissed that I put him in his little time outbox - I bent down to Ryder’s eye level “you see that cage is a magic neutralizing box, the more magic you use to get out the potent the zapping will be. I gritted my teeth together, you little shit “Wait till I get out of here, you will be sorry doll maker!” “We will see about that, Soul-keeper” “You know, I’m actually surprised you didn’t figure it out sooner” I said scratching my cheek. I sneered, looking at Ryder as he sat in the middle of the box - Now the real question that has b
A sharp dull pain ached deep in my chest breaking me out of my transpiring thoughts It was morning when I Woke up in Jax’s soft bed rolling over onto my back staring up at the ceiling wondering about Sunshine and where she was at since she hasn’t returned any of my calls or texts messages since our little adventure in the kitchen, I placed my hand directly over my heart Thinking it Must be heartburn, maybe from that pizza I ate last night “Good Morning Thunder” I said chuckling to myself “You miss her too don’t you, so do I buddy” I breathed out still trying to feel him under my skin but there was no movement in my chest, not even a yawn or a whimper in my head. He must be too weak still “It’s okay, get all the rest you can and once your all better we will kill Allen and take his pack for our own” I said sitting up and shifting my naked body to the edge of the bed, my feet planted firmly on the ground, and I let out a yawn. I wondered if Jax had given his servants instructions to st
I spent all day with Leo at the vampire knights training ground and I must say, His physical combat skills were very impressive -he is kicking my ass., but that was because I was worried about Thunder, he hasn’t made a movement all day or answered any of my mind- link calls. I know he’s there, somewhere, we shifted when Jax locked us in the room with him at Uncle Gary’s but after that night, I haven’t felt him since. “Please tell me what’s wrong so I can fix you, fix us” I kept asking him in a mind link, still no answer, only silence. Leo landed a blow on my belly, taking a cheap shot as my mind was somewhere else. I wiped the sweat from my brow, it must be high noon now that’s when the heat becomes more intense “Come on is that all you have?” I asked “You little shit” I groaned out loud with every blow Leo seemed to Land on my steel-like body -except this time, I was more like a jelly-filled doughnut absorbing every punch he tossed my way.
The bathroom was Quiet, I stood naked next to the large hot tub bath, it was almost as big as my room back at the Shadow-core packhouse but nowhere near this extravagant – the bath water was a clear ocean blue tint with a bunch of different aromas mixed in, I guess the mages here at the castle take their healing baths very seriously. I got in and slowly emerged myself under the mildly hot water, “come on buddy, where are you?” I asked as I sank deeper letting the water engulf over me completely, my eyes closed and I let my mind wonder in search for Thunder but I soon found myself back at the same woods I once roamed. “Thunder!” I yelled hoping he could hear me, but I got no answer back. I kept walking along the dull lifeless trees that were all around me “Thunder!” I yelled again -Still no answer “where can you be?” before I knew it, I was back at my old packhouse- it was quiet. But the smell of burning wood soaked the air around me -A sudden view of Allen carrying Kathy’s lif

I somehow managed to pull myself up to the front steps of my home “The Scarlet-Blade pack” - my knees buckled as a flash of burning pain overtook every inch of my thoughts. Shredding them to pieces right before my eyes. I couldn’t focus on what was in front of me- only the burning pain that felt like it was melting my insides. I took a few deep ragged breaths while reaching under on my left side “come on, you go this, if I don’t do it, I will be dead in minutes, come on,” I said giving myself a pep talk. I wrapped my palm around a piece of cold steel, gripping tightly. I can feel the poison that the blade has been dipped in rush through every single vein in my body, “On the count of three” I breathed out loud. “One” I gripped the steel handle tighter. closing my eyes. “Two” “Three” In a single slick motion, the sound of flesh ripping filled my ears and a loud grunt escaped my lips –“Oh fuck, that hurts like hell” I groaned, I looked at the silver knife that I pulled out of my side.
There he was, A Tall, well-muscled man, - chest completely naked, A green tattoo swirled across his skin, his body filled the entire door space of my bedroom – my eyes trailed his lower body landing on the only scrap of clothing he had on – his boxers, I can trace the outline of his junk imprint. Wow. Shit. Don’t look. “Seth, what do you think you are doing in here?” Henry asked as he sat at the edge of the ruffled bed watching him very closely. So, his name is Seth? “Do you know what time it is?” Seth asked walking into the poorly dimly lit bedroom, his red ruby eyes- trained to keep sight of his target. I let out a deep and tired sigh. “Hell, I don’t know, sometime after 3 A.M.?” Ding. Ding. We have a winner and it’s the stupid cat. Seth took a step towards Henry “That’s right” his voice roared out - ang

Logan searched the entire house for Beth until he found her in the back yard staring out passed the swaying trees, she was in her light pink nightgown he bought for her after he shredded the one she wore one night in bed–Both of her bare feet dug into the grass to feel the earth shift underneath. “What are you doing out here little one?” I asked as I stepped outside. “Waiting,” I said nervously, clenching onto Ryder Tighter. “Waiting for what?” I asked walking up behind her eyeing the same distance that she was staring off into. “For Seth to come back to us” My heart could break by her sweetness. I placed my hand on the dip of her lower back making a few circles “It could be sometime before he comes home, maybe even longer” “I know, that’s why I’m waiting, he needs a band-aid” I chuckled, removing my hand from her lower back “Little one, he is a wolf, he will heal just fine in time, he won’t need a band-aid by the time he gets
I arrived back at the silver crow packhouse; Allen was waiting for me in his office. We locked eyes as soon as I entered the room closing the door behind me - I hated his smug face, I hated everything about him, he reminded me of my father an omega to the world’s biggest asshole of a so-called Alpha of the river-pack, but Allen ruled here with an iron fist and no compassion in his heart and with absolutely no regards to his pack members life. “Now where has my new beta been at?” I asked as I placed my hands under my chin waiting for a reasonable response. “I told you, I was out stretching my legs” “For three days?” Allen asked Boris. “Yeah, my wolf was restless, had to tire him out” I leaned back in my chair “Well, I hope you’re not too tired” “Why?” I asked puzzled. “Because, I have a meeting with Alpha mark of the Deadwood pack and before he gets here, you’re going to dig up Seth’s Body” My eyes grew wide to this new
“But Jax, there is something else that I need to tell you” “what’s that?” I asked now wondering how many secrets he’s holding onto. I drew in a long breath and exhaled sharply “The morning Gary found me; I was already dead” I tilted my head to the side. “What do you mean by that?” “I mean” I tossed my hands in the air “I kicked the bucket, oddly, there was no white light for me” Just Forrest and a strange voice. “How is that possible when you’re sitting in front of me right now?” “If it wasn’t for Ryder, I wouldn’t be here, my soul would have been stuck in the woods wondering around for god knows how long” It took a moment for a flash back to pop in my head of the morning in the kitchen when Beth hugged Seth, I knew he mumbled something to her but didn’t catch what it was because I was stuck on nurse Sunshine’s fine ass. “So, she’s a soul keeper then?” Explains why Gary took her in as his own, to have a soul keeper in his
