Jax showed me around his house. There were multiple bedrooms, he explained that the majority of the pack did live regularly in the house. They had family houses throughout the town, where their parents or human family lives.
The ‘backyard’ stretched for miles, broken neatly into different sections. There was a giant swimming pool surrounded by chairs and a small brick fire pit. The other section looked like some kind of platform or stage, Jax explained that it was used for hands-on training. He said the small building to the side of the training platform was a weapon training room.
“What are you training for?” I asked; confused why it was basically a mini boot camp.
Jax shrugged. “I guess anything and everything. Most of the time we live in peace but there are rogue wolves and vampires.”
Thank you so much for reading my book! If you enjoyed it, please rate, comment, give gems. I appreciate everything. Thank you! (:
My head snapped to Damien. He lingered outside the clearing, in between the trees. “What are you doing here?” I said, my voice quivering as I became hyper aware I was entirely alone. I pulled my hoodie closer to me, unsure why the tightness was comforting. “You called me here” He replied, with a slight smile. He wore a casual suit and pants, definitely not something anyone normal would wear trekking through a forest. Taking a step back towards the path, I shook my head. I wondered if I made a loud enough noise if it would wake Meghan. Or catch the attention of any other wolf around. “No, I did not call you.” “Maybe… not you..” He matched my steps, coming forward. “But your magic did” I stuttered on my w
The smell of bacon cooking awoke me. Groaning, I got out of bed unhappy about how fast morning had come. I threw on an oversized t-shirt and made my way to the kitchen.“Goodmorning!” Meghan greeted me, cheerfully. She patted the seat next to her. “I hope you’re hungry.”My stomach grumbled loudly almost as if responding to her. I gave a smile in return and started eating.“Hey are you going to work today?” I asked, trying to be nonchalantly. She nodded in return.“Do you think you can drop me off at Sabine’s shop when you go?” I kept my eyes on the plate of my food.“I don’t think she’s back in town yet.” Meghan
“Interesting… you put the pieces together and it’s not entirely a surprise…” Damien was basically muttering to himself at this point. I snatched my hands away, stepping back towards the town line.His eyes followed my movement but he didn’t move.“It doesn’t matter. I’m not killing someone.” I continued moving closer to the town edge.He tilted his head at me. “Who said you had to kill someone?”“They said I had to spill human blood to trigger the werewolf gene,” I explained.“They?” Damien pressed on.“Sabine. What does it matter?” I asked hi
We made it home with the collection of books. Jax had them brought directly to his room so we could start going through them. Meghan dropped us off and turned around to go work a shift at the diner. As we started to sort the books on the giant table, someone on the staff brought us a huge tray of food. A mixture of fruit and sandwiches. “I hate that” I said quietly, as soon as they left. “Hate what?” Jax asked. “That you have people just waiting on you. It’s awkward.” I sat down on Jax’s bed, throwing the dirty jacket on the floor. “I wouldn’t know the difference. If it makes you feel better, they are paid. And they’re free to leave whenever they want. Most view it as an honor to work
After a shower and some breakfast, Jax and I headed out to the clearing. “It’s pretty awful ringing noise” I warned Jax, taking the coin out to call Damien. He nodded silently, standing near me. I could tell his body was tense. Taking a deep breath, I flipped the coin, covering my ears immediately. The coin fell onto the ground and I looked over at Jax, who was watching me with a puzzled look. “I didn’t hear anything.” He said. I picked up the coin, inspecting it. “I heard the same noise but last time he was here before this touched the ground. Should I try again?” I asked. Jax shrugged
“Jax!” Meghan screamed across the yard. As we turned towards her, Jax shook his head. “I can’t hear my pack,” he said, sounding hurt. “Do you think it was the memory?” I asked him. “Jax! They’re here!” Meghan screamed again. She was running towards us and I finally noticed the blood on her clothes. Jax caught up to her “I can’t hear the pack, you have to communicate to them Meghan. You know the plan! Go!” She took off back towards the front of the house, stripping off her clothes. I saw a glimpse of white fur before it disappeared. “What is going on?” I said, following after Jax. He had started to follow Meghan before I spoke. He turned around and grabbed onto my arms tightly.
“What are you talking about? I didn’t feed it anything!” I exclaimed.Damien pointed to the blood soaked box. “The blood is inside it too”“What does it mean?” I said, stepping away from the moonstone. “It looks nothing like the moonstone I have”“Because it’s not that type of moonstone.” Damien explained “the one you had is used to manipulate werewolves. This one is built specifically for crescent wolves.”“To manipulate us?” I askedHe shook his head “Not really. It’s more to hold their wolves. It was rumored that crescent wolves could remove their wolf forms completely with these. I&rsqu
The sun peeping through the blinds or the feeling of presence in the room woke me from my deep slumber. I glanced at Damien sitting on the edge of the bed, and groaned, throwing a pillow over my head. “We have to start moving. I’m sure they’re tracking you… and the trail of blood you left behind.” My stomach clenched at the scene I had left behind. “I killed someone…” I said softly on the mattress. Damine grabbed my ankles pulling me off the bed and onto my feet, turning my head to face him. “You protected yourself. Don’t ever think otherwise” he said as I pushed away from him. “Stop, Damien. I’m serious.” I told him, making su
