*BRIANNE’S POV*He carried me to a room, his strides purposeful and swift. He carefully laid me on the bed, his touch gentler than I expected.I didn’t know what to say to him, my mind raced with uncertainty. Should I apologize? Explain? Remain silent? I didn’t even know if I should say anything at all. His eyes flashed with anger and his jaw clenched.As he towered over me, his gaze pierced through me as if searching for answers to the questions that filled his mind. I felt a shiver run through my spine under his intense scrutiny.He walked to the telephone without saying anything and made a call.“Call in Doctor El” I heard him say over the phone.I wondered why he was calling a doctor—we werewolves heal quickly, and I could already feel my wounds closing, which was a painful, slow process for me. My healings are always excruciating and prolonged, unlike others of our kind.After making the call, he turned and leaned against the table behind him. His eyes fixed intently on me. His g
*BRIANNE’S POV*“You will no longer go out there to train,” He decreed, his voice firm and authoritative. “Not until you’re fully recovered,” He said.I flared up at the command, my instinct rebelled against his attempts to control me. “Who says I’m not fully recovered?” I asked him. Obviously, he wanted a reason to keep me captive, because he could clearly see that I was healed completely.His stone cold gaze roamed over me, ravaging my body before finally resting on my face, “you know I could lock you up here and your parents won’t be able to do anything about it” He threatened. The air seemed to vibrate with tension as we engaged in a silent stare-down.His threat did something to me, it wasn’t fear that I felt, but a thrill that ran through my veins like a spark of electricity. The way his eyes traveled my body as if claiming ownership, made my skin tingle with a sensation I couldn’t quite explain. He has a way of shutting me up every time, rendering me speechless with just a gla
*BRIANNE’S POV*I got back to the pack house, ready to go back to training even though Alpha Jordyn had told me not to train.I went straight to the arena, hoping to see another fight going on, but what I saw was— everybody standing erect in an organized formation.‘What were they doing? Is this also some kind of exercise?I sneaked into the arrangement, trying to blend in and avoid drawing attention to myself.“Alright!!” A female voice resounded in the open space. “I’m gonna tell y’all why we’re doing this,” she said, standing in front of the crowd.“I got orders from above” she continued, her eyes scanning the crowd before finally landing on me. “We’re going to start the basics of combat training,” she said, her voice firm and authoritative.The crowd murmured, the complaints visible on their faces.Some people turned to me, which made it even more awkward. It was as if they were blaming me for what the instructor just said.“Silence,” The instructor yelled, tuning down the murmuri
*BRIANNE’S POV*My facial expression must have been absolutely priceless because she suddenly giggled, a joyful sound that was like music to my ears. Her eyes sparkled with amusement, and her lips curled up into a playful smile. I couldn’t help but laugh too as I took her hands.She seemed more friendly than she looked.“You must be Brianne,” she suddenly said.This caught me off guard, how did she know my name? I stared at her, my eyes wide with surprise, hoping she would answer my unspoken questions.She let out a soft giggle, “are you surprised?” She asked with a playful voice. “Of course, I know you,” she said, her smile growing wider.“But…” I stuttered.“Everybody knows you,” she chuckled. “The girl who made my brother stop an ongoing training?” She said, her eyes glinting with teasing.Her brother!? “Alpha Jordyn is your brother?” I asked in disbelief.I watched her with amusement, I didn’t know Alpha Jordyn had a sister. And she was stunning! Her beauty and elegance took my b
*JORDYN’S POV*“Jordyn…call me Jordyn when we’re alone,” I said, my voice low as I gazed into her eyes. The look that flashed across her face was a mix of surprise and discomfort. I could sense her hesitation, I knew she was going to decline, her lips were already parted to protest, so I added,“It’s an order,” My tone was firm but gentle, a subtle reminder of my authority without being overbearing.Her expression was a picture of discomfort, her eyebrows furrowed and her lips pursed, as if she was struggling to come to terms with my request.It was adorable and I found myself fighting back a chuckle. Her expressions were always funny and entertaining.Just as I was enjoying the sight, she turned to look up at me, and I quickly wiped the smile off my face, attempting to fabricate a serious expression.I breathe a silent sigh of relief, feeling grateful for the opportunity to walk with her, to simply exist in her presence.The pleasure of strolling side by side with her was undeniable.
*JORDYN’S POV* I walked into the bar with Josh and was immediately dismayed by the familiar faces I saw sitting there.“If I had told you, would you have agreed to come?” Josh said, shrugging sheepishly.He had invited other friends…people I didn’t want to see.I glared at him, my side eye deadly. “I hate those guys,” I hissed.Josh downplayed my concerns. “How bad can it be to just sit there and ignore them,” He said. “I only wanted to liven up the place.”I sighed, not buying whatever liveliness those guys had to offer. Josh waved at the unwanted guests, announcing our arrival.As we approached the table, one of the guys, Ivan, greeted us with a cheerful smile.“Oh, what’s up dudes?” He asked, exchanging a friendly handshake with Josh.“can’t believe our almighty Alpha Jordyn stepped out for a drink” Another guy, Edward chimed in.I glared at him, my eyes warning him to tread carefully.“Come on Edward, don’t talk like that,” Josh rebuked him playfully. “You know how hard it is to
*BRIANNE’S POV*I slid into the passenger seat, my eyes widening in surprise. “How did you know where I live?” I asked.Janette flashed a playful grin. “I have my ways,” She teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement.I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. “But how did you…”Janette interrupted me, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. “My brother is your personal GPS, apparently,” She said with a chuckle.My eyes narrowed, intrigued. “Your brother?” I repeated.“He asked me to swing by and pick you up, take you back to the pack house” She nodded.“What!” I exclaimed, my voice echoing in the car. Alpha Jordyn could be so unbelievable, why would he even bother to do that?Janette’s expression remained serene, her eyes fixed on the road. The silence that followed was oppressive, punctuated only by the soft hum of the engine.Then, without warning, Janette spoke up, her voice gentle but probing. “Brianne” She called out, her eyes flickered towards me.I turned to her, urging her to continue.“What i
*BRIANNE’S POV*The girls chatter filled the air as we made our way through the woods, their excitement for the party or gathering was palpable.As we walked further into the woods, the trees grew taller and the shadows deepened. My unease began to creep back in, but the girls kept chatting and laughing, distracting me from my worries and putting my mind at ease…a little bit.Suddenly, they stopped at a clearing—an empty space. I expected to see a crowd of people, music, and lights, but no one was there.Where was everybody?I turned to the girls, my confusion and concern evident. “where is everybody?” I asked, my voice croaked with a hint of unease.“Surprise!” Sophia exclaimed as she ran childishly to the middle of the open space.I watched her with confusion etched on my face. What surprise? They brought me all the way for this?“I thought you said everybody was going to be here,” I said again, trying to get answers from them. My instincts were starting to scream warning but I didn
