I gasped and my breathing sped up as I steadied myself. This was definitely not like riding a horse. His fur was thick and glossy, there were patches where some fur was missing and hadn't grown back but overall he was majestic in both size and color. Damiens wolf took off and I held on hard and leaned forward. Something about him running through the fields, and the wind slapping me in the face was oddly satisfying. He ran much faster than Rascal and his turns were calculated and expertly executed as he ran down the hills, over the fields, and jumped over anything that was in his way including cars. ”Okey, slow down,” He was running toward the school but he wasn't easing up on the speed. ”Damien, slow down you’re coming in too fast!" I screamed but he didn't listen. People were jumping out of the way and pushing each other to the side and screaming as he rummaged through town. ”Damien!” A guttural scream rang out as he closed in on the school. People inside were looking out in s
My eyes widened further and I violently shook my head. But then his eyes softened and they looked more pleading, it was weird, I hadn't seen him like this before. Sam was either cocky, sarcastic, or angry, there was no soft side to him, at least not that I knew of. I nodded my head and Sam slowly removed his hand from my mouth. I was startled at first and speechless, he was looking at me with pain in his eyes that he wasn't trying to cover up. ”What’s going on?” I asked him once the panic had settled. Something flashed in his eyes and he let me see everything. ”So much more than you think,” He said quietly. ” I need you to listen to me and to do exactly as I say,” I furrowed my brows and looked at him questingly. ”Uhm, I don't trust you so why would I do anything you say?” ”Because I know that the mark is gone and I haven't told my brother.” He said and narrowed his eyes. My heart stooped into my stomach and my veins turned to ice. Had he just said what I thought he sai
”Sam, who is my mate?” I asked. ”I shouldn't have said that.” He said quietly and shook his head. He continued shaking his head and his eyes cast down to the floor. ”It wasn't my place, I shouldn't have said that,” He ran his hand through his hair and sucked in his bottom lip, and bit down. I walked toward him, it looked like he was freaking out for some reason. I should've been the one freaking out, I just found out I had a mate. He could be lying but something told me he wasn’t. I gently placed my hand on his arm and that stopped him from spiraling for a moment. Sam turned his head and his hand dropped. ”Who is my mate?” His eyes rounded and I could tell that he wanted to take back those last words. He slipped up, he wasn't supposed to reveal that bit of information but I wouldn't be able to let it go. I wouldn't pressure him about how he had gotten all this information. Or why he suddenly wanted to help me, if he really did, but he wasn't leaving here until he gave me a na
~Emma~ I was waiting for Bella, she asked me to meet her in town at the coffee shop on the corner of JazzJewels. I was sitting at the table with my coffee in hand, stirring the ice with a straw. The bell rang as the door opened up and a woman in sunglasses, a scarf around her head and gloves on came walking in like she was incognito. ”Bella?” I asked and leaned back when she neared the table. She removed the sunglasses and I gulped. Her eyes were bloodshot, she had a burn mark next to her right eye and bruises around both of them. Her lip was ripped and I could only imagine what the rest of her body looked like. ”I’ll order for you,” I said and got up. ”Mocha,” I nodded my head and walked up to the counter. I ordered her coffee and when I looked back I saw her removing her gloves, her hands were red and it looked like the flesh was missing on some parts. ”Thank you,” I said to the barista when I grabbed Bella's coffee and went back to her. ”Here you go,” I placed it in fro
My vision was getting weird, I was seeing everything clearly somehow. The colors were more prominent, the light was brighter and the smells were seeping up my nose and unmasking every single scent there was around us. Scents I hadn't ever smelled before were suddenly as obvious as the smell from the water and the damp grass. Sam couldn't mind-link me so we wouldn't be able to communicate until we were both in our human form. I hadn’t shifted yet and I was dreading the moment when all my bones would break and readjust. But I was also excited, I had a wolf and I was about to meet her. A loud howl echoed inside my mind and if fell closer to the ground. Sam was watching me with razor-sharp focus. ’I told you not to drink’ someone growled in my head. My eyes flew open and I looked into the eyes of Sam’s wolf. Who the hell had just spoken in my head? ’I told you not to drink’ The voice repeated in a snarl that freaked me out. ”Sam,” I said in a breath and looked up at him. Hi
~Emma~ Bella had given up her leverage. I was on my way to find Dave and tell him everything I'd heard but I couldn't shake this feeling that something more was going on that we didn't know about. Why would they switch like this? And what if they did it again only they sold us out to Damien? I couldn't see Sam betraying his brother, it didn't make sense. Bella was going back to her room to heal up and then we were meeting up tonight again. I needed to know why they changed their minds. Something told me it was more than just Bella realizing that the man she had given her loyalty to was a monster. ”Hey, everything okay? You look like you’re thinking really hard about something,” Dave said as he came up to me. I nodded my head and gestured for us to walk further down the street. Damiens warriors were all around but they didn't seem to pay us any attention. ”Are you alright?” He asked me again but I didn't answer. ”We need to talk,” ”Yeah, I got that, let’s go in here,” He grabb
~Selene~ There was no doubt that Sam was stronger than most werewolves I had met. He was a timber wolf, they were larger, stronger, and much more prone to kill than most others. His brother was even worse. Damien's strength was immense but what was even worse was his mentality. He wouldn't ever back down for anyone and by the looks of it, he would kill whomever he needed to kill in order to complete his agenda. I couldn't tell whether Sam was afraid of him or respected him. All of the warriors they had brought seemed to respect their Alpha but was it because of who he was or because they knew they’d be killed if they did anything else than bow their heads and keep their mouths shut? ”Stop daydreaming,” Sam said and massaged his bloodied hand. ”I’m just thinking,” I said and squinted my eyes. ”About what?” ”Your brother and you, what’s that relationship like?” I asked and took a seat on a rock. Sam's brows shot up. ”You’re sitting down? I didn't say we were finished training,”
~Emma~ Selene was on her way. She had been with Sam all day working on her wolf and I was anxious to hear about how it went. Dave seemed a little on edge as we sat in the bookstore and waited for her. He had gone out to get us all coffee and I could tell that he had questions. His eyes were on me one second and jerked away the next. ’He’s susposicous’ Of what? ’Of you' I gulped and took a sip of my coffee. The bell rang over the door as it opened. Selene stepped in and looked around. She seemed different, her shoulders were rolled back, her hair was shining, and her skin was perfect with a hint of a darker complexion than before. She had her wolf and it was visible on her entire appearance. ”Over here,” I said and raised my hand. Selene smiled and walked over to us. She pulled out a chair and took off her jacket before sitting down. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was different yet still the same and it was confusing and beautiful at the same time. Everyone changes once
