“ Come on, get up!” I yelled at Andrew laying on the ground like a starfish
“ Can we quit?” he groaned kicking his legs
“ No you are the one that wanted to train and I have another person after you who hasn’t quit yet so either man up and finish training with me or you can go at the bottom with sally.” I laughed poking him with a stick
“ That's not funny, Sally has been at the bottom since she was born. She's so uncoordinated.” he pouted sitting up crossing his arms against his chest
“ Well right now you are acting like her. Or you can get up and try again.”
“ nope, we are done. You ma’am are mean okay? My body hasn't hurt so much before!” he pouted getting up from the ground
When I got back home last night I didn’t realize until this morning that I didn’t go to bed in my room. When Erik came down stairs to the living room I woke up to the thumping of his loud feet on the ground. Rolling over facing the couch, I was surprised by how much more comfortable it seemed than being in my bed right now. I haven’t got my knee looked at and if I do Erik will pose suspicion on how I hurt it. Should I tell him I saw that wolf again last night? Or that I fell off the balcony I begged him for? I wonder if I got close enough to the wolf he’d shift and show me his human side. Keeping my eyes closed I feel the couch jerk and move around. I love how me sleeping here doesn’t stop anyone. “ Why are you sleeping on the couch?” A voice asked I didn’t exactly recognize it at first until it clicked “ Alexander?” I asked, huffing out a breath
“ So who's going to tell me what the hell that was about?” Erik shouted sitting in his desk chair. He didn’t want to yell at me infront of of the pack that joined together in the kitchen for lunch. “ I can explain.” Alex announced looking over at me “ well that’s what I’m waiting on” he growls “ Erik, since Alex and I have been kids, my parents made us have a secret way of talking to each other.” I began I explained to him what the pinches meant and which ones I used during the meeting with those men and why my brother and I acted the way we did. “ So why do you feel like they were dangerous?” He asked sighing trying to let everything I just told him sink in
What do I have to do to make him see that I can handle myself? Beat him in a fight as well? That would make him look weak in front of his pack. Maybe I should just do a fly by to see if I see anything suspicious also would help get my anger under control. When I stormed out of his office I walked straight out of the front door, the last thing I wanted was to be in the same building as him right now. Spreading my wings I take off above the trees of the woods. Passing above the pack house towards the back yard, I make it above the woods looking around. It's kind of hard to see through all the trees especially during the day when the sun is just blinding me. I fly for miles searching for anything that could give me any answers on what the hell is going on. That was until I saw them… the red eyes glowing three miles away from the pack house to the right of me. I couldn’t help but want to get closer, so I fly till I’m practically right o
“ would you just listen to what I have to say??” I yelled, getting frustrated.“ I’ve already heard enough! You are not allowed to leave this pack house into the woods without me again” he growled slamming his hands against his desk. So dramatic“ Why are you being so hell bent on this? You act like I agreed to be his mate.” I groaned“ Did you??!!!” He yelled clenching his jaw“ Of course not. Like Andrew said he is manipulating me and using the “mate” card would work on any normal unmated she-wolf but I’m not normal. We can use this to our advantage and find out what he really wants.” The only thing stopping him from flipping this desk over is me standing in fron
“ You shouldn’t be here.” I huffed turning back towards the water“ Here take my jacket.” Stepping closer he placed his jacket around me“ you ran out so fast I needed to make sure you were okay.” Sitting down next to me on the ground he doesn’t make eye contact with me“ No, you wanted to make sure I didn’t harm anyone or myself.” I muttered throwing his jackets off me, tossing it back at him.“ Okay okay you got me but it was more of yourself than others. I’m sorry, I just… I saw your eyes, and how red your face became. It didn’t look normal.” He sighed crossing his legs under him“ Well I&rsq
I made him leave so I had time alone. The flowers here are so beautiful, they remind me of my mother, strong, delicate, with no worries. I mean she had worries but not the kind that leaves her up at night questioning herself if it’s all worth it. She would tell me stories about how scared she was when I was born, she had no idea how to handle my ‘special abilities’ ( it’s what she called it). After a few hours passed I started walking back home. The sun has gone down and all I can see is darkness and hear the crunching and cracking of the things under my feet. The house is a million miles away and flying is a no go.Ugh it’s been hours of walking and I feel like my feet are going to fall off. Pulling out my wings I check to see if they are still soaking wet and of course they are. I shouldn’t have gotten into the water before putting these things away. Not only does it k
We talked for what felt like hours until I was walking ahead of him almost to the border of the pack house, the sun had started to rise. And when I turned around to ask him a question he was gone. I didn’t even hear him walk away or run. Shrugging I finished walking, getting stopped by some of the guards on borderline duty. Instead of questioning who I am, they questioned if I was hurt or needed anything. Declining all their offers I walked past them, the only thing I wanted was my bed!! Walking through the town I notice everyone staring and whispering amongst themselves. I just rolled my eyes and kept on going until I reached the pack house. Taking each step one at a time as they were really making my legs want to give out right now. When I reached the door, without having the chance to grab the door handle, it's being swung open by my father standing on the other side.“ Briella! Where the he
“ say ahhhhh” the doctor says sticking a popsicles stick on my tongue“ ahhh”“She looks fine. Her wings however are still very wet so I’d suggest taking them outside and idk flapping them around a bit?” Is he really guessing right now“ I’ll call my mom and ask her what I should do.” I say rolling my eyes. I shouldn’t be surprised he wouldn’t know how to handle it. But it would be nice if more people understood.“ Now are you ready to explain why it took so long for you to leave? If you would have said something while I was there that you were going to be out so late I would have stayed.” Is this what guilt feels like? The pit of my stomach started to turn at the though
“ 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
