I drifted in and out of consciousness catching glimpse of the events around me. Every time I started to see things again, the pain of all my broken bones and injuries came back full force pushing me back into darkness. It was all I could do to even catch the glimpse of what was happening. Mary had been caring me, basically, as we ran to the check point. I remember watching her fall down and yell out in pain but I could remember from what. Justin’s face was something that jogged my memory as well. He was running towards us as someone from behind him was covering him with gunfire. Next thing I know, I am in the back of a vehicle on my back and my shirt was ripped open. The cold air attacked my open wounds. I hear the whimpers of Mary somewhere beside me. Looking around, and not being able to find her was hard. Was I imagining that? Or was it me that was whimpering? The bumps in the road hurt like a bitch every time they hit one. Hearing someone yell ‘faster! Faster!’
Thanks for reading! I will be back posting Sunday evening!
As the doctor left the room, Wyatt walked over to the couch and lifted up a bag and brought it to me. “I packed this for you. I knew you would wake up eventually so I came prepared.” He said like it wasn’t a big deal. “Oh, thank you!” I grabbed the bag and unzipped it. Bumping out the context of the bag revealed a pair of black shorts and a baggy t-shirt. The shorts were mine, they stopped about an inch below my ass but the shirt was his. I held it up to him with a questioning expression. Wyatt looked down and shrugged his shoulders. “I saw the injuries you have, I figured a baggy shirt was good so it didn’t rub against any of them. You have a decent cut under your breast so a bra was out of the question.” Using my index finger, I motioned for him to come closer. He obeyed and I grabbed his shirt and planted a soft kiss on his lips. After about a minute, he pulled away. “This will be a long week for me to keep my hands off you. Go get dressed.
I felt the bed shift and causing me to roll on my back. Groaning, peeking through my eye lids, Wyatt was trying to be quiet as he answered a phone call. He was walking quickly to the bathroom and shut the door. He must have been trying to be quiet but I still woke up. I slept the best I have ever slept I think! However, just that rolling had every inch of me aching. Damn, this soreness is no joke. I tried several times to use my arms to pull me up against the headboard but failed. Okay, I can do this! Two more tries later, I finally got it. I pulled a little on my stitches and that is what Wyatt saw when he finally came back out, me looking down my shirt. “Your tits haven’t changed any, still there!” he joked as he started the coffee pot. “Funny, I was making sure I didn’t rip a stitch out as I sat up. They look like they are dissolving anyway.” “Here, let me look” Wyatt said as he came over to me. I pulled my shirt up and grabbed my boob, lifting it
“Love, I know you want to get up and just be normal again but you need to heal if you are going to defeat them. And before you jump down my throat, no, I did not know about the time frame and attack. That was news to me. I haven’t exactly been working in the office lately. Reed has been doing all the heavy lifting so I could stay with you. Actually, other than the warriors, no one really knows what is happening. They know something is brewing though…” Wyatt trailed off. He had moved to the bed and was trying to comfort me. I appreciated it though but I am not sure how I could stay in bed all day. I feel so guilty and weak. Failing is not an option though. That much, I am sure. Kelly is right though, I need to be at 100 % or as close as I can get to it for this fight. “I think I need to make the video before my cuts heal too much. I want to show everyone what happened to me. With that, and my message, that should be enough encouragement.” I said thinking out loud “Tha
Blackness was all I saw. No lights, no sounds or feelings. Just blackness. The scent of steak attacked my nose causing all my other senses to awaken. Next came my hearing as they were soft and gradually got louder and louder. Ugh, I did not want to be awake right now! The food smelled amazing though. “Nina, time to wake up and eat” Wyatt said as he shook me gently. “Ugh, do I have to?” I asked in a whinny voice. “Yes, princess now open those eyes!” “No!” I said stubbornly. Suddenly the smell of steak, lettuce, cheese and many other things penetrated my nose causing me to open my eyes and lean back. Kelly had stuck a bowl of salad with steak cut up in in under my nose. “How about now? Are you awake now?” Kelly smirked. I just rolled my eyes at her and glared but hungrily took the bowl and looked for a fork. Wyatt handed me on and I got comfortable on the bed and began to eat my salad. Looking around at their plates, they had steaks, mas
“I would like to start off by thanking each and every one of you for your continued support as we navigate through this together. I would also like to take this time to update everyone on what I have been doing/going through. Per the council’s request to question me, I handed myself over to show that I was willing to work with them to come to a civilized understanding. However, that is not what happened. I was questioned for hours and if they did not like my answers, I was rewarded with punches, kicks, slaps and many other ways to get me to bend to their will. There will be pictures popping up to show you my injuries I sustained. I was in a coma and just recently woke up. Almost every bone was broken as some point but I stand here before you to show you what kind of men they are. It has recently been brought to my attention that one of the council men is actually responsible for the trafficking and destruction of our smaller packs. We do have evidence and it will be presente
Sometime in the middle of the night, the boys came back and Reed carried a sleeping Kelly back to their room and Wyatt slipped into bed next to me. I managed to stay up till 11pm and we ate our food and drank the soda as we watched ’50 First Dates’. It felt good to just be a teenage girl again and not have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Wyatt was running his fingers through my hair as I pretended to still be asleep. “I know you are awake princess.” Wyatt purred in my ear “I don’t want to be though!” I said as I snuggled in a little closer to his chest. I heard his chuckle from his chest. “Everyone is here and ready to see you. Breakfast is on the table and people are waiting. I let you sleep as long as I possibly could” “Everyone?” “Yup, Everyone from our pack, my parents, Brooke, Zach, Justin, Maverick, everyone.” “Did you guys get the video done?” I asked as I untangled myself from him. I watched him watch me stretch so I
“Nina, please tell us what they wanted to question you over.” Reed said softly I took a couple seconds to gather myself. I got a wave of strength sent through me. Looking at Wyatt, I knew he was trying to help me. I gave him a smile and started to speak. “I will try to remember it all. They would ask me questions like, when I was alone with Damian, did we ever talk about finances. I would say no and they would counter like, how would we believe you? Do you have proof? Before I left, I visited the bank, I needed to get my parent’s money figured out. I was walking out and Damian came in. Someone told them that we had a meeting together. They started questioning my life after we left. They had information only certain people would know about me.” “Who is the mole, Nina?” I didn’t want to say it. I didn’t want to believe it myself. This person completely betrayed me. I looked down and tried to keep the tears at bay. “Nina?” Wyatt’s mom said pleading
Wyatt advanced toward me slowly as his eyes ranked up and down my body. I kept looking at his face as I started walking backwards till my back hit the wall. I don’t know why but I suddenly got really insecure. My body is not like what it used to be. It was covered in scars and yellow bruises that were almost faded. My skin was no longer flawless. The stitches had come out this morning finally and all that was left was an angry red line. Wyatt put both hands on the wall, adjacent to my head. He lowered himself so his eyes were level with mine. I kept my body flushed against the wall and my chin held high. “You forgot to close the door. I feel how insecure you feel about yourself. Let me show you how I feel about our body.” Wyatt whispered as he moved to my ear. Slowly, he traced his tongue around my ear lob and behind it to my neck. He let his lips barely touch my skin, leaving goosebumps in their wake. He made his way to my mark and kissed it causing sparks to shoot through
Thank you all for going down this journey with me. I have read each and every comment and appricated all the support and positive feedback I have recieved. This is my first ever book I have written and I really have learned a lot. I know the grammer and punctuation may not have been perfect but I will continue to get better and more knowledgable. I am currently working on a second book that I will hopefully post soon. I need to get a few more chapters written before I can publish it. I have read a few comment asking for a sequal to this book. I will loved to do that as well. Just know that this is not the last you have seen from me! Thank you again! Mrs. Smith UPDATE: The Sequal has been signed!!! The name of the book is called Emerald Eyed Luna: Grant's Revenge. I just signed it and if it isn't posted right now, you should see it in the next day or so. I found it on my laptop but not my mobile device as of right now but it will be available ASAP! Thank you!
A few days have gone by and it is time to lay our loved ones to rest. I had decided that I will get everything done in one day so after the funerals, we will be doing the trials as well. If I am going to get emotionally exhausted, might as well do it all in one day. I am not sure I will ever be okay with funerals and death but it is part of my job and my life now so I should probably embrace it. I was packing what I needed to take home. After the funeral and trial, we will be returning home to figure out how the pack will run. The palace is making great progress so in a few months, it should feel like a home for me. We haven’t told anyone about our pregnancy but I think after the trial, I will say a speech and let everyone know. Wyatt has been itching to tell people. I just chuckle every time he rubs my belly and nags me about it. I heard the bedroom door open and looked over to see Wyatt came back from seeing everything was done correctly. The funeral will be on the
Wyatt and I walked hand in hand back toward the packhouse. Neither one of us said a word, just walked with our army behind us. I let all the emotions swarm around me as I let what just happened sink in. The pitch black of the night mirrored our feelings as a whole. Lives were lost tonight and the mastermind behind everything was finally exposed and eliminated. Turns out, there was an abandoned building about half of a mile into the woods. As we walked back, the forest was silent. The power radiating off of Wyatt and myself was suffocating to those in our path. We were hurt, broken hearted and tired. Grant took so much from both of us in different forms. Reed walked right behind us, carrying an unconscious Kelly like she was the most precious package. There are still so many things to address now but the main feeling of doom has finally left me. Tonight, I am going to mourn my losses but tomorrow we will look ahead at a brighter future. As the packhouse came into view
I just can’t believe it. I just can’t. Why Brooke, why? Staring at them laying on the floor, tears ran down my cheeks. I couldn’t give Kelly up. She was carrying a baby and already had head trauma. I don’t understand any of this. I laid Kelly down but still in my protective shield. Checking her head, I saw the bleeding had stopped but she was pale. I focused all my attention to the baby to see if I could feel him or her. I heard a small heartbeat and a hint of an emotion. Calmness? I couldn’t be sure but I felt the baby. I knew instantly it was a boy as well but I will keep that information to myself. Satisfied she was going to be okay, I stood up and started looking around. It was the basic set up from the room I was tortured but I feel like we didn’t walk that far so we can’t be terribly far from the packhouse. ‘Wyatt is coming, he said to just hold on a little longer.’ Raven assured me ‘Why Grant?’ I asked her just completely confused. ‘Did you know?’ ‘Som
“Ladies and gentlemen! It gives me great pleasure to present to you, your new King and Queen!” Theresa announced. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, a gun went off and I felt it coming straight for my heart. It was like the world slowed down and everything was in slow motion. Wyatt leaped in front of me, trying to shield me from the attack but I had my eyes locked on the bullet that was headed straight for me. The room was filled with shocked and scared expressions but my focus was the bullet. As it inched closer, I felt this internal need to protect my baby. The only problem was, I didn’t know how. I felt an explosive energy leave my body and surround Wyatt and myself. It had hues of green and silver swimming around the sphere that surrounded us. The bullet hit the sphere and simply fell to the ground. My baby produced a force shield that protected his dad and mom. I knew this was not me doing it but it was the baby protecting us. Just how powerful
“Nina! It is time!” Autumn called from behind me. I was standing in front of a long mirror, trying to recognize myself. My hair was flawless pulled to the side and braided. Loose curly strands of hair framed my face and neck. The makeup was light and elegant with a little more dramatic eyeliner. Nude covered my lips, fingertips and toes. The shoes matched my jewelry perfectly. The girls had placed a shimmering lotion on my arms, chest and back making me slightly sparkly when the light hits my skin. The dress fit my perfectly and was the right balance of my personality and what a queen should look like. The only thing to make this better was if my mother was here. “Oh yeah, I am!” I said giving myself one last look. This is it, it’s time! I turned and saw Autumn with a smile on her face and a tear in her eye. “You are so beautiful! I know your mother would have been proud of you. Thank you for letting me make these things special for you. It is truly an honor.” Autumn
Today was the day! Today represents change that is about to come to all. A new beginning! I laid in bed, trying not to make a movement or sound to alert Wyatt that I was awake. I needed a few minutes to myself to wrap my head around everything. We have fought so hard to get to this day and now it doesn’t seem real. I am not happy about the branding but it guess it is what it is. Wyatt was PISSED off. I felt his anger through the bond. I am sure there will be a lot of things about this job that will upset him but I feel has long as I have my support system, I will be able to handle anything. The only thing I am worried about is the guest list. I assume they needed to invite all the Alphas and Lunas. I know they had to invite Damian and Holly but surely, they wouldn’t show… or anyone else that may not like me? Samantha really isn’t much of a threat so I can’t say I am that worried about her. If she even had the balls to show up here, I will handle her just fine. “I kno
“Let’s wait and see what happens. Right now, all we have is circumstantial at best. I want to actually catch them in the act.” I said as I sipped on my whiskey “How will we do that?” Reed asked. He had downed his second drink and was already on a third. “The big finale has still yet to happen. I can feel it, something big is still going to happen.” I said in an ominous voice. “How long have you known?” Wyatt said with a hint of annoyance “First off, the feelings I get did not go away when we got Devin and them all. Second, it’s not like I have been waiting a week to tell you. A lot has been going on. Third, you never asked either. However, I can just feel like something is going to happen and this person is going to make their move. If it is Zach, I don’t see what he would get out of it. Even if he kills me, he is not the right bloodline to take over. Maybe he wants to kill Wyatt and myself so he would have been Alpha, and get the money?” I said think
Walking in, I saw two men and a woman standing off to the right laughing together. One was shorter, grey hair, full beard and looked to be around 65. The second man was taller, around 6 foot, brown hair with grey peppered in there and wrinkles covering his face. He looked to be older, around 70 years old. The woman was stunning with her bleach blonde hair, average height and build with hints of wrinkles liner her forehead. They all turned to look at us when we entered the room “Oh my! You are so beautiful! My name is Theresa! This is Ed and Harry. We are so pleased to finally meet you!” Theresa said as she rushed over and gave me a hug. I was so stunned; I didn’t react at first but I quickly got my wits about me and gently hugged her back. “It is very nice to meet you all!” I said politely “Come child, no reason to be so formal! We like a relaxed atmosphere.” Said Ed, he was the older looking guy. “This is my mate, Wyatt. Kelly is her sister and her m
