#Chapter39Rise and shine. For the first time, I didn't mind the rays of sun shining in to my room from the window. I just felt so well rested and relaxed. I even managed to wake up before my alarm woke me. That’s a first.I rolled over and noticed I was sleeping alone now. Sighing out, I suddenly felt alone, empty, lonely. I unlocked my phone to read a text message from an unknown number:-'Baby I had to go but I promise I’ll get you after school. 'I knew who it was from. I just could not help but smile.I stood up and skipped over to my bathroom. I showered, dressed and skipped down to the kitchen to greet my mother."You're looking happy this morning." She smiled.That’s because I was. Normally, I was not a morning person but this morning I was feeling good. "Let’s just say I’m feeling different."Her eyebrow rose as she finished off her bagel. I pulled myself a bottle of water and a granola bar. After she picked up her purse and grabbed her co
#Chapter40Jen returned with our drinks and requested our order."I’ll have a bacon cheeseburger with cheese fries." I requested."I’ll have a steak with potatoes and broccoli." Jason put in his order."I’ll be back with your orders." As she turned to leave, I stopped her. "Jen." She looked at me. "I’m Aniyah and its genuinely nice to meet you. I hope to get to know you a little better."A large smile danced its way across her face. Her look of satisfaction made me smile. She walked away. I looked back to Jason who looked happy, almost proud."What?" I asked."You did good." He smiled."Thanks."We ate our food, shared small talk and left the diner. We walked out, immediately greeted with an amazing sun set and cooling breeze.We drove for about fifteen minutes until we arrived at Jason's home. Lighting was faint, the house was quiet. I looked to Jason for confirmation. All he did was smile and motioned me toward the stairs.Jason guided me up t
#Chapter41It seemed like everything in my life was falling in to place. It’s been over two months since Jason and I started dating and everything seemed to go good.In that time, I could receive a little more information about the people I spent my time with. Information that will help me learn to live with them. It was confusing, yet interesting. I learned about how the mating process works where Jason is supposed to mark me to officialize our bond. However, he has not made the move to do so and it confused me. Did he even want to mark me?I was feeling muddled, left wondering what I should do. It became clear that there was nothing I could do, except wait. "Good morning." His voice could weaken me."Good-morning." I was sitting at the kitchen island enjoying my breakfast when Jason walked in. "So, what are you doing today?""Just running a few errands." I lied.I was putting together something for Jason and I. He did so much for me I wanted to do so
#Chapter42ANIYAH__It was evening and I know Jason would returning from his meeting soon, so I went over everything once again. I scattered scented candles across the room. Hands full of while rose petals blanketed the floor and bed. I dimmed the bedroom light, creating an atmosphere I knew he would fancy. After I showered, I slipped on something I knew he would adore. An eye catching dress that I knew he would want to remove when he saw it. I curled my hair and sprayed myself down with my favorite fragrance before I looked at myself in the mirror. Why am I so nervous?I smoothed out the creases on my dress before I stepped out to wait for him. To my surprise, he was already waiting for me. Naked. Straying away from his eyes, I found the erection that complimented me on my appearance. Butterflies tickled my stomach; my legs grew weak. The longer I waited, the more anxious I became to have him. Before I could speak, he snatched me up, pinning me against t
#Chapter43JASON__"So, what’s the problem?"I asked a Brent, who met me just a few miles away from the cabin in his truck. “A lot of activity has been happening around this house. That is just as much as I know.”“What kind of activity? I need to know what dragged me away from-“A surge of excitement surged through my body. Something was happening. Something was wrong. I never felt something so intense. A warning so vibrant that it stunned me in the moment. Aniyah. "Stop!” I commanded. He slammed his foot on the break; his face twisted up in concern. “Call the others. Meet me at the house. Now!” I did not have time to wait for him. I got out the vehicle and rushed through the brush, pushing myself, picking up speed to make back to the cabin. Bursting through the door, I felt a sense of emptiness when I saw what they left behind. They tossed tables and chairs. They destroyed decorative pieces. Something bad had swam through this cabin. T
#Chapter44JASON_I stood in the cabin, waiting for James to arrive, but my patience was thinning out. Everyone else waited outside. They knew being inside with me would only put them in jeopardy. I knew I should have stayed. I blamed myself. “Shit.” My fist slammed down on the table. The wooden legs beneath the table crumbled. The cabin door opened. “Alpha.”I turned to see James and Aaron."What do I need to do?" James appeared ready to go. "I need something. Anything that could tell us who took her or where they are.""Yes, Alpha." He left without anymore needed instructions. "Aaron. I need you to get in touch with the Gold Wolf tribe. I may need their help also.”"No problem.” He responded before he took off. **********I could barely hold on to my stability now. I was a ticking time bomb ready to explode. Every minute that had passed felt like hours, and I still did not have much to go on. "What’s going on? What happened?" I
#Chapter45ANIYAH_Standing in a daisy filled meadow, all I wanted to do was bask in it. The warm sun shined on me, brightening my pink sun dress. I inhaled the sweet smell if flowers and clean air, adoring the cool breeze that blew through my hair.Suddenly, the scenery changed. I was in the middle of wolves. On one side was a line of wolves that looked familiar. Jason. The other side were wolves I never saw before. Unfamiliar, vicious wolves. They all appeared ferocious; growling and snarling, baring their teeth at one another to intimidate. Me?I was standing in the middle. Fear was keeping me from running, from moving, from screaming. As I feared, they all lunged forward and charged one another. The sound of the heavy paws were like thunder ravaging the field. I dropped to my knees and closed my eyes. The sound menacing sounds flooded my ears as tears rained down my cheek. Suddenly, there was nothing but silence. The growls, the whimpering, the
#Chapter46JASON_Brent and I allowed James to guide us in pursuit of finding her. With his help, we discovered a secluded home settled within the deepest, most dense part of the woods. It appeared abandoned. The windows were shattered and boarded with slabs of wood and metal. The paint chipped and cracked, exposing old brick that rested beneath it. The thought of her being in such a place angered me. "She’s in there?" I asked James.“This is where the scent runs cold.” He confirmed. Crouching behind a bush, I stood up to procced before they tugged me back. "What are you doing?" Brent gestured toward the guards that stood watch. "I’m getting her.”"Not now." Brent advised. “What the fuck do you mean?” I snatched my arm away. “If I know where she is, I getting her-““Jason, listen. Think logical. If you walk over there and start killing off rogues, that will put you, us, and especially her, in danger. I know you are moving on hatred, but we have to
