I'm doing a double update today because this chapter is a little short and the next chapter go hand in hand. Also...um...if I could pass you the tissues I would. I had to grab some myself. <3 Mish
I heard Emmett snort, even without speaker being on. “For being so strong, sometimes you’re just so spineless.”My face screwed up in anger and pain. “I’m spineless?” I hit the speaker button. “What about you? You took my curse!”“You didn’t even notice! I started freshman year! It was a little at a time but I watched you. The moment you started to look at me odd, I’d stop. Let it settle. And then start back up. You didn’t even fucking notice! Not that it was gone. And not that I was taking it!” He yelled into the phone and I shook.“Freshman year…that’s…”He scoffed. “Don’t fucking bleed for me. I managed to set you up to take over. I set up everything. And yes, a few things went wrong. I never meant for you actually leave in the first place. But Dad and that stupid Alpha thought they would go around me to make a deal.”Shaking my head, I couldn’t even fathom what he was saying. “You said…you would…protect me. You only showed up because you knew already what was happening…”“I wanted
Everything now was hazy. At one point I think I may have picked myself off the floor. Or maybe it was Raine. She took over sometimes, gently nudging me out of the way. Most of the time though, I couldn’t feel her. I couldn’t feel anything.I spent my time curled up in the chair that faced the windows in my room. But I wasn’t seeing out. I wasn’t looking out. All my feeling was gone. Part of me half expected rogues to come attack and drag me back to the pack. Time continued to move and I’d been left alone.Wasn’t that what I wanted?What I asked for?Questions came and went in my mind but never any answers. Answers right now meant pain. All I wanted was to be numb. I didn’t want to feel anything. I didn’t even know who I was anymore.I probably should have been more alarmed when the creak of my bedroom door echoed in the room. Raine had tried to put some music on but I turned it off. Music was soul foo
“I’m sorry, baby. If I could take this away I would. You know I would.”I tried to swallow my sobbed but I could barely breathe. “He…he…” My eyes shut tight, trying to be able to spoke through my breaths. “He’s not…done. I’m…scared…he might…hurt you…or anyone…”“Hey, hey. It’s okay. Take your time. We will figure this out.” It was Justin this time.My eyes slid to his. “I…I don’t think…I can kill him…”Justin tucked some hair behind my ear. “No one is asking you to, Sky.”“But…”“Right now, that’s not what you need to be worrying about. We will figure it out. The fact that you have rejected his plans already throws a wrench in his plans already. It might take him some time to recover and plan something. In the meantime, we get stronger
A plate dropped into the sink and the two of them turned on me, their eyes wide. Ethan burst out laughing and Justin turned red.“No! The hell, Sky! Why would you ask that?”I shrugged. “You guys just seem in sync is all. That usually comes with taking your relationship to the next level.”Justin whined and looked at Ethan. “You’re supposed to help me! Say we haven’t!”Ethan shook his head, still laughing. “She brought it up before. I think she wants us too.”Justin gagged and looked back at me “Are you serious? Sky. I mean…we’re your mates. Not…I mean…we are but like…”My eyebrow rose as I watched Justin flail at an explanation. Ethan continued to find his struggle funny as hell and I tried to cover my own smile by sipping the Sprite I took out. Finally, he threw up his hands and stomped away to my bedroom, slamming the door. Dropping m
Hello everyone! I’ve been updating on my social media but I wanted to sneak in a quick update here. I’m sorry for the break. I promise it was not intentional. I’m actually beyond sad that I can’t write. A week ago I started feeling really bad and it just got progressively worse. I went to the doctor. Got meds and have been trying to hang in there the entire week. But after five days of mot even 2hrs of sleep a night, I was at my wits end. Hubby took me to the ER this morning. After x-rays, it’s confirmed I have pneumonia. Which is both good and bad. Pneumonia sucks but none of the medication that was previously given to me has been working. Now we can actually tailor the medication to pneumonia. I’m able to write this because I slept for 6ish hours today. ^_^ Finally. I can barely keep my eyes open. But I already feel so much better. I am going to do my best to kick this and get back to writing. I have been thinking about it. I want to write so bad. I just haven’t had the strength
I looked out over the guys I was training. We were in the middle of a sparring session to help me better assess their weaknesses. My nose wrinkled as I watched one wolf drop from a simple leg sweep and another easily push down another. Goddess, their balance was going to be the death of them.My mouth turned down and with my arms crossed over my chest already, I looked menacing. Enough that the guys I was watching started to fidget and nervously looked from their opponents back to me.“You’re late.” I felt lips press against the back of my head.“I know. I’m sorry. Sophie and Fiona kept us over.” Ethan was already stripping off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves. “Where would you like me?”I hummed and looked around. “Watch Vic and Stan for me. They’re especially heated today.”Ethan stalked off and I felt Justin behind me. He placed his hands on my arms and rubbed up and down. I looked over my shoulder, raising an eyebrow.“I don’t really want to work out today. I got my ass kicked
My legs were swung over the arm of the chair in the living room. I had a book in my lap that I was supposed to be reading but it wasn’t working out as well as I had hoped. Ethan and Justin were out doing goddess knows what and really I didn’t need to be at the pack house today. I just didn’t want to be alone at the shop. Kev and Sam were mulling about but I didn’t want to interrupt them in their work. Not for something silly like entertaining me.Next to me, my phone buzzed and I pulled it out. I thought it might be the group chat because Justin had been continuously taking ridiculous photos of Ethan in the most awkward positions as they worked. My smile fell and I felt bile come up into my throat. Emmett’s name popped up under the text message.Shoving my immediate panic and fear down, I didn’t want to tip off Ethan or Justin that anything was wrong. The two of them had gotten far too good at reading me and it usually just pissed me off. Right now, I didn’t need them freaking out. Swi
Ethan was the first to shift and luckily, I couldn’t make out his completely naked body. At the very least you couldn’t tell what was the blush and what was from the cold water. I treaded water more towards the middle of the lake as I stared at the two of them. They seemed to be waiting for me to swim in but they would be sorely disappointed.Dipping down under the water, I held my breath for a long as I could manage. Floating just below the surface, I let the silence envelope me one again.‘Talk to them, Sky. Don’t run away.’I squeezed my eyes shut. ‘But…’‘You’re good at running. I know. I help you do it. In this case though, you need to confront them. I promise you, they are going to understand. Not only that but they will say what I have been saying every year. Every time you think you deserve to die. You don’t. We don’t. We just hadn’t found our home.’Pushing back up, I took a deep gulp of air. ‘Raine…’Hands grabbed me and I jumped, looking into the eyes of Justin. He was furio
