*BRIANNE’S POV*I sat in my room, silently brushing my hair, lost in thought.It’s funny how I used to love staying in the pack house, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of pack life. But now, I find myself skedaddling my way home with any break I get. Staying away from the pack house as much as possible is probably for the best.As I brushed my hair, my mind wandered off to how much my life had changed since I met Jordyn. I used to be so carefree, but now, it felt like I was constantly on edge.My phone suddenly vibrated to life, the screen illuminating with a text from Jordyn.I excitedly picked it up and swiped the screen to see what he had sent.“Will pick you up later. Dress up, we’re going on a date.” The text read.I grimaced at the text. He always seemed like a different person over text. His messages were always so dry, lacking the warmth and affection that he showed in person. It was as if he was a completely different person when he’s typing away on his phone.Well, I was
*BRIANNE’S POV*“Can I have this dance?” He asked, his voice filled with a sensual invitation.I looked up at him, my pulse racing with anticipation. I hadn’t realized there was music playing in the background until now, but the soft melody seemed to match the rhythm of my heartbeat. I took his hand, my eyes still on his, and let him pull me up gently. He drew me into his embrace, his arms wrapping around my waist like a warm blanket. I felt his hand on my lower back, his fingers splayed possessively as he pulled me closer.As we began to dance, I felt like I was melting into his arms. Our bodies swayed to the music, our movements sensual and intimate. Jordyn’s eyes never left mine, his gaze burning with a fierce passion that left me breathless.As we danced, I felt like I was in a trance, my body moving in perfect sync with Jordyn’s. His hand on my waist was like a brand, burning into my skin and marking me as his. I felt a sense of possession in his touch like he was ready to claim
*BRIANNE’S POV*Before I could process his instant movements, I felt him inside of me.A sharp gasp escaped my lips, quickly followed by a high-pitched moan as a wave of pain and pleasure coursed through me. My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer, despite the sudden sting shooting through my body.“Calm down,” He whispered, his voice low and soothing in my ear. I found myself immediately cooling down like a bucket of iced water was poured over my head. My racing heart slowed, and my breaths became less erratic, though the tension lingered.As his movements became deliberate and gentle, I felt a sensation brushing against my neck—something sharp, grazing my skin. My body froze for a second as realization struck. It was…HIS FANGS??!!His fangs were out. They were poised like a predator ready to claim its prey. I wanted to be scared but the feeling of it scratching against my neck, did wonders to my body.The soft, scraping touch of his fangs against my skin
*BRIANNE’S POV*I turned to look at him, my eyes met a mischievous but caring grin.“I have no clothes on too,” He said, trying to make me feel comfortable.I darted my eyes away, trying not to look down but he pulled me in for a hug, and I felt everything. My face turned pink from the heat.“I’ve called the training instructor at the pack house.” He said, his voice low and soothing.I looked up, slightly confused. “Why,” I asked.He smiled, looking down at me with warmth. “You won’t have to resume training today.” He said, his tone gentle.“What…no, why?” I was a little confused, why would he do that? I have to go to training.He tilted his head slightly as if my reaction wasn’t what he expected.“I know you’re ambitious, Miss Bri,” he said, his voice teasing. “ but just let me take care of you today.”I let out a light giggle, feeling a sense of wonder at this playful side of Jordyn. “so, how are you going to take care of me?” I asked, playing along with his teasing tone.He grinned
*BRIANNE’S POV*I stood there with the other trainees, our eyes fixed on the intense fight in front of us. The fragile-looking girl was surprisingly skilled, her moves were swift and sleek as she battled the wolf in her human form. Despite her efforts, the wolf’s sudden counterattack caught her off guard, and she fell back with a loud thud, clutching her chest in pain.“Enough,” the training instructor yelled, intervening just in time to prevent further injury. The fighters were quickly separated, and the girl was rushed to the pack clinic for treatment.As I watched the scene unfold, my hand instinctively rose to touch my hair, a nervous gesture I’d been repeating all day. I had deliberately left my hair down, trying to conceal the mark on my neck, hoping no one would notice or make a comment on it. “Brianne, you’re next,” the Instructor’s voice cut through my reverie, signaling me to face my opponent.My heart sank as I gazed at the formidable figure waiting for me in the fighting
*BRIANNE’S POV*“Do you know the consequences of shielding a traitor?” Jordyn asked, his voice firm and authoritative. “Not only will my council take action against me, but your pack will also come after silver-black and I don’t want that,” The mysterious man let out a scoffing sound. “Let me get this straight,” He started. “So, you mean you won’t be helping me?” He paused, awaiting a response but only silence greeted him.After a few seconds, I heard his voice again, but this time it was darker and colder than before. Each word seemed to hang in the air like unspoken malice.“Fine,” He said, his voice dripping with venom. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you,”With that, I heard heavy footsteps storming towards the door, making my heart skip a beat. I frantically scanned the area for a hiding spot, my eyes darting around the empty hall. I quickly scrambled into a corner, holding my breath and hoping I wouldn’t be discovered. I didn’t want to get caught eavesdropping.The office doors burst
*BRIANNE’S POV*My jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Slowly, my hand rose to my mouth, every movement filled with shock.“no one aside from my family knows Josh is a hybrid,” Jordyn explained. “To avoid shame and unwanted attention on the family, my mother took Josh to a seer who completely masked the hybrid part of him.”“Whoever sees him thinks he’s a beta,” He added, looking down, as his eyes focused on his hands.“I watched him growing up Bri,” He continued, his voice tight with emotions. “I saw how my mother treated him. She’d beat him for things he didn’t even do.”Tears threatened to fill my eyes. Seeing Jordyn talk about Josh like this was heartbreaking.“Sometimes, he would run up to me and hide me.” He said, letting out a sad, bitter laugh. “I knew my mother was hurt by what my father did, but that doesn’t give her the right to take it out on the innocent boy, does it?” he said, turning to me as if he wanted me to answer.“I’m so fond of him, and I know
*JORDYN’S POV*“what do you think you’re doing, man?” Josh said the moment we stepped out of the room.“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about this.” I apologized, unsure where to even start.He scoffed. “so, you think I didn’t know all along?” He asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “I kept seeing those strange letters in your office, and you’ve been acting weird for weeks. The moment I decided to look into it was when I saw the threat letter,” Josh said, his eyes hard, though I could still see the emotions behind them.“Don’t you think is better I handle my own problems? Why do you have to get involved?” Josh asked, frustrated clear in his voice.I frowned at him. “nonsense! Josh. How could I let you deal with this alone? What’s the point of being brothers if we don’t help each other out?” I said, trying to keep my voice as calm as possible, despite the frustration.“This is not only about you, Josh. There’s something more going on here.” I said, focusing my gaze on him.Josh’s express
