Watching him spar with her makes my stomach turn. Looking over to Oliver his eyes widen and shut really hard.
“ Alright, Briella.. I know you are mad just don’t burn me or hurt me to bad” he whimpers
With one punch I sent him flying into Andrew
“ Briella!” Erik yells
“ oh now you want to pay attention to me” I growl
“Yeah boss you’ve fucked up” Andrew groans pushing Oliver off him
“ Excuse me?” He growls
“ yeah ‘boss’ while you’ve had your nose stick up my ‘friends’ ass I beat yet another one of your guards. I’ll say that 3/6 this week already. 3 more
Getting up for school I throw on a brown white and blue sweater and some black leggings with brown boots. Peaking into his office I can tell he’s there working hard on something so instead of bothering him I grab my keys and head to school. Sam and Ethan finally got their license so they don’t need me taking them to school anymore,plus they were way too excited to show off their new cars. Pulling in I pack in the far right of the parking lot away from everyone else. Grabbing my bag out of the backseat I head inside. I’m a little early so class hasn’t started yet, so I've decided to mend things with Aaliyah and invite her over for a sleepover. I feel bad for getting mad at her over something I have no control over. My birthday is in 4 days, sucks I have school on that day too. Walking over to Aaliyah’s locker I wait there for her. Hopefully she doesn’t hate me too much. I don’t understand why I
So what do you think happened? That he followed me? We talked things out and lived happily ever after? Well then you guessed wrong. He did follow me but not to talk. He wanted to lecture me on how I’m supposed to behave and how I’m supposed to respect him in front of his pack members, because his image is more important. So I kept my promise, I beat his men the next day, however he refused to let me fight Andrew until my 18th birthday. In three days, he thinks my whole mindset will change over night on how I feel about him. I only agreed to it as long as I was able to go back home and he could fight me there. He didn’t like it, he said he set up that gym for me to prove myself here, but why would I prove myself in a place that doesn’t trust me. I packed my bags this morning and drove home myself. I didn’t want to sit in the car for hours with him nagging me about how childish I’m being. My dad wasn’t happy about Erik taking someone’s else’s side over
Growling he knocks me to the ground pressing all his weight against my side. I’ll give it to him he’s strength is more than I thought it would be and he uses his body weight to throw me off due to him being a lot bigger than me. I feel his elbow digging into my side as he pins me down. Moving one of my legs to a bend I take the other underneath his right leg hooking into mine. Using my arms I put my right one out to the side pressing up against my elbow the best I can. Grabbing his arm with my left arm I flip him over where I’m on top. His shock on his face gives me the advantage to take over. From the side of my view I see Erik looking at me with a cold, heartless look. He’s watching to make sure I don’t cheat. Looking down at Andrew, I let him go standing up. He shuffles to his feet looking at me confused. “ shift” I tell him “ what? That wasn’t
Sitting out on the balcony I breathe in the cold brisk air of the night. Curling up in the chair with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate, I look up at the sky. The stars dance with no care in the world. I wish I was a star with no responsibilities. Erik left with Andrew after dinner, he didn’t say a single word to me but I could see the hurt in his eyes, the pain that stains his soul from my actions. Did he really think I was that weak to lose against Andrew? Or did he know I was going to win and hoped I’d still change my mind? I’m not heartless. I'll admit watching him walk away knowing I’ll probably never see him again kind of hurts. But I’d rather live with this pain then feel like a prisoner. The sun will be up soon and I have to face Aaliyah at school, if she's even there. Sam told me she hasn’t been at school and now there's a rumor going around that her parents decided to move back because of her safety fro
I took Aaliyah to see healer Aaron when we got to my house. Of course he talked to my dad by waking him up. He had a million questions that I didn’t know how to answer. He yelled at me and told me I shouldn’t have gone off on my own so that I could have been seen by anyone in the other packs blah blah blah. I get why he’s concerned but with how much she was bleeding if I got help first I don’t know if she would have made it. I let her sleep in my room and dad agreed that we would talk after letting her get some rest. “ Briella, can you tell me again everything you saw and what she told you?” My dad said as we sat in his office “ I’ve already told you everything no matter how many times I say it, nothing is going to change. When she wakes up she’ll be able to tell you more.” I groan
We all left to go to the cabin of course I got stuck riding with Erik and his two goons. Andrew wouldn’t stop talking about his time in a cabin back where he is from and the mystery blond chick he never saw again after that night. I am kind of jealous of her being able to get away from them. Driving, I keep getting told how I’m supposed to hold the wheel, or that I drive too fast. I tried cutting on the radio to drown out their voices but Mr. King of annoyance kept shutting it back off.“ Who taught you how to drive Briella?” Erik asked“ Markus, Leo, my dad, mom, so a mixture of everyone. Why?” I groaned“ because well how do I put this…. You’re reckless.” he mumbled“ you do realize I can still he
We all headed back to the pack, this time I let Erik drive. I couldn’t get that wolf out of my head, it’s like he was staring right at me. He didn't leave or hide away from me till everyone else showed up. Was the wolf even a he? What didn’t Andrew mean that I could be in danger? He or she didn’t seem dangerous. Looking out the window I watch as the trees pass by, that wolf could be following us right now. When I looked into its eyes it was like I was being drawn to it. Curling up in the passenger seat I bring my legs up to my chest leaning against a door. “ hey are you okay? I didn’t mean to freak you out.” Andrew says, poking his head out from behind Erik’s seat. “ yeah I’m fine I’m just tired” I mumbled Hunter reached over from behind me handing me a blanket that I kept in the back seat. 
After stuffing my face with McDonald’s, I think I impressed Andrew with how much I made him order. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t the healthiest choice but it’s oh so delicious. When we arrived back at the packhouse, my dad turned the corner and pulled in right behind us. Shit how am I going to explain that I agree with Erik without making me look like I’ve grown two heads. Sighing I shove the last chicken nugget in my mouth before stepping out of the car. I almost quit eating after the first 10 chicken nuggets and three cheese burgers but Hunter was cheering me on to finish the rest. And plus he bet Erik who said I couldn’t do it. So obviously I had to prove him wrong. With my stomach so stuffed I can barely walk, I breathe through it walking up to the door and stopping my dad in his tracks. He looked at me concerned because I honestly felt like I was going to throw up. I really shouldn’t of ate that last two cheese burgers and 10 chicken nuggets. 
“ Of course father. Let’s talk.” Aurther hissed“ Please you guys can have a private conversation in my office.” Erik announced making his voice louder than theirs. Andrew and Hunter showed them to Erik’s office I waited until the kitchen door closed behind them before turning my eyes back on Erik.“ what? Why are you giving me that look?“ he sighed knowing already what I was going to say.“Really do you need me to explain? You just gave him up as if you didn’t care what was going to happen next.” I yelled throwing my hands up in the air“ Whatever he would of did to Aurther would of been a lot better than him taking his anger out of our pack” he admitted
I woke up this morning enjoying the two bundles of joy inside my stomach. I woke up this morning happy. We picked out our house and I love it, it’s huge and has plenty of room for everyone. Then reality sets in. James is on his way here. I don’t know what he is going to do or if everyone here will make it out alive after it’s all over. What if he is coming for war? And the talk he wants to have with me and Erik is just a distraction. But what if he doesn’t want to fight and we push him towards it by throwing Amanda in his face? How do I know what I’m doing is the right thing? Pushing myself out of bed I freeze. I freeze with my feet pressed against the ground.“ He’s here” rings through my head. I repeat this to myself over and over again as if I can’t seem to let it sink in the way it should.&l
“ sir? What do you want us to?” He asked me over and over again but I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted to go about this. If Aurther is alive and kicking would Liam be? No, that's impossible. I buried him myself. Rubbing the back of my neck with my hand I paced back and forth in my office. I can’t help but wonder what all Aurther heard. Has he been able to read mh thoughts all these years? I remember what happened that night Liam died. And that night Aurther ran away for good. He was so angry with me without letting me explain. His foolishness ended with his brother's death. Not that I’m surprised he’s never cared about this pack or anyone else other than himself. Stopping in one spot by the book case when the office door opens up and my head warrior walks in again probably to ask what we are doing. “ trucks are ready sir” was all he said. I’ll admit I was kind of surprised they took matters into their
“ YOU DID WHAT??” He yelled at me over and over again. I don’t think he meant it in a way to hurt my feelings more or in a way to show how angry he was about me telling Aurther to alert his father without discussing it with him first. I just sat here listening to everything he had to say. All his worries and concerns. He even expressed to me how he was worried that if I did get hurt in battle I'd even notice because of my reaction from the glass cutting my stomach. And if I’m being completely honest I haven’t thought about that at all. It was odd that I didn’t notice, maybe it was because of the twins' powers. I haven’t even considered them in the situation of getting hurt either. I know that has to make me sound like a bad mom. But with the way they are protecting themselves I’m sure they will be fine. Right? But I also believe even being this far along that I can still protect myself. I haven’t h
Later that yesterday afternoon, Erik and I decided we needed to move out of the pack house. With two kids coming we knew they would be trouble and the pack house is made for business. After deciding this I couldn’t stop thinking about it, honestly I haven’t been shopping for the babies at all either. I mean I’ve gotten a few things here and there when we go to the store for other things but I haven’t been really shopping for them for all the big things. He agreed that we would go and look at houses after all of this is over, so I might ask to go shopping some as well. Sitting in the bathroom on the toilet I work up the courage to get up on my own. Only being a few months pregnant they are already twice the size a normal baby would be by now. One loves to press against my bladder at all ends of the night. Pulling my pants up I wobble over to the sink to wash my hands and face. My face is all broken out and my feet are so swollen
“ So what's the plan?” Amanda asked, holding an ice pack to her face. Just a few minutes Alora saw her flirting it up with one of the pack members and didn’t hesitate to let her know how she felt about it. It’s been years since they’ve been together but obviously Alora isn’t over it even though she was married to Liam. I wonder if she actually loved Liam then?“ Aurther still has a connection to his father, but he says he has a wall up so his father has no idea. Just hearing from Aurther like that could make him furious. Which will spark the flame and lead him right here. That’s where you come in.” I answered by passing over a cup of coffee to her. With getting punched in the face by her ex I felt like they needed it. Her hair is bright red and skin is fair. Her eyes are bright light brown color almost like honey. I let her borrow some clothes from girl
We got back to the hotel room. I'm surprised no one flinched seeing the big dude carrying a girl who seemed to be struggling and in need of help. Erik held on to her as Hunter grabbed the desk chair from one of the rooms and rope that I didn’t know we brought with us. With Hunter and Andrew standing by the chair he placed her in the chair. In the blink of an eye she was tied to it like a prisoner.“ We aren't going to hurt you” I said, trying to soothe the situation.“ Oh really?? Then why did your men kidnap me and tie me up like a wild animal?” She hissed yanking on her arms.“ Because we need to talk and you are obviously a flight risk.” Andrew explained placing a bottle of water to her lips as if she’s been sitting there for hours now.
The plane finally landed and I decided to keep what I read to myself till we got to the hotel. We still aren’t sure where Amanda is but I’m sure they have a lead on where she could be. We took a cab to the hotel which felt longer than the plane ride. Once we got there I still wasn’t allowed to help carry anything so I talked to the guy at the front desks to check us in. He was nice enough to give us a room here on the first floor since the elevator seemed to be down. Which is my luck since that happened at the last hotel we were at. Opening our hotel room I was amazed at how big it was. And the view was just as beautiful.“ Hey, I got to tell you something.” I mumbled into his head he looked me up and down making sure I was okay before responding.“ yeah?” He kept eye contact with me making it more and more
