Soft kisses along my jaw wake me gently from my sleep as I blink up and stare into Jax’s gold eyes.
“It's almost time to go.” He says softly, as he plops down next to me and pulls me into his warm chest. I snuggled into him while trying to battle the urge to go back to sleep. His calming strokes through my hair making it harder for me to win.
A cough of someone clearing their throat has me straining my neck to look at Meghan in a chair.
“She needs to get ready, Jax.” She gives him a pointed look before turning back to me. “Wear something that will keep you warm but light enough to move fast and quietly. '' Meghan sighed as she got up and moved to set a box on the bed. Jax and I still haven't moved from each other’s arms. She looks at the box warily. “Sabine found me and said to give you this, she said it wi
I’m sorry for the long wait between updates. I haven’t decided where I want to end this book. I don’t know if I wanted to do a sequel or wrap everything into one long book. Because if I do a sequel, then the ending of this book is near. So I’m hesitant on updating till I make that decision.
Howling pierced the air making the hair on my arms and neck stand up, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me through the woods.I had no idea where I was headed, I just continued to run blindy. Jax said to head towards the river, but gave me no clues how to find it.Listen, smell. Let your instincts guide you.I stopped at Aurora’s voice in my head and a small whine came out of me. She had been quiet since I rejected the idea of ever accepting her mate and I could feel the longing of him.But she must sense the danger we're in to be so vocal tonight.Taking a deep inhale through my nose, I closed my eyes and tried to pinpoint the smell of fresh water. It reminded me of summers spent at the lake with my dad. I turned my head towards what I thought was the sound of rocks
My shoulders and back ached as I woke up. Groaning, I tried to turn over and I realized I was still on the rocky shore of the river. The sun was high in the sky as it heated my skin and dried my lips to the point I could feel them bleeding through the cracks.I squinted, trying to adjust to the brightness of the day. I stretched my shoulders as I stood and glanced around me.I couldn’t stop the immediate bile that came up and spewed out of my mouth. I grabbed onto my knees as I tried to calm my breathing.Blood. There was blood everywhere. Clumps of red mass gathered here and there that I could assume were body parts. I swallowed down the gathering saliva in my mouth as I dry heaved again.I thought back to last night and know they had
My own heart seemed to stop as well, pain burning through me, killing me.I didn’t hear the scream that tore out of my mouth, but I could see the way they all flinched from the noise. I lunged at Damien’s body, turning him over it. His dull eyes looked up, no emotion in them. His mouth slant.I felt it. I felt the magic rip out of me as the werewolves around me got flung back, landing yards away from me.I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. My tears dropped onto his face as I stroked it.Please. Please. Someone help me. Anyone. Please.
Where are my vampire diaries fans?! I so badly wanted to end it with “hello, brother.” If you know, you know. This is the end of book one. I know, I’m sorry for the small blimp of turmoil at the end but did you really think I would kill Damien? He's my fav (shh dont tell Jax). JK, I love them both for her differently. There’s so much more to Hayley’s journey. I took a few weeks (probably a writer’s block if I want to be REAL honest) and asked if I wanted to split it. Sorry for the long delay, I went back and forth a lot. Especially where or what or how I want to deal with The Vampire King since he's so important to who Hayley is and what she can become. There's so many scenarios I want to play with. >:)
PART TWO: The Vampire King I made a blood oath. A life of a life. I didn't care at the time because I needed him back, but it came at a high price. How am I suppose to lead a pack when I have no wolf? I have no choice but to move on because we are out of time and out of options. The Vampire King must fall. We're back for the continuation of Hayley's story! I was going to separate it, but decided to just keep going on here since part one was so small. I do have a few changes to part two, such as Hayley won't be the only POV (:
JaxI spit the blood in his face and laugh. “No matter how many times you command me, the answer is the same. I. Don’t. Know.” The Alpha growls, his eyes glowing red. “She’s my mate. I have to find her.” I shake my head, shifting my shoulders. They were sore from being chained to the wall by my wrists. “She’s not.” “We need to let him shift so he can heal.” I glare at Elliot behind the Alpha. His face was impassive as always. He was the only one left who didn’t desert the Alpha, even Niko left and that was surprising. A felt an ache in my chest that they had left me and Meghan behind to suffer the consequences of their actions.I know the Alpha didn’t have my sister locked in the dungeon like me, but I’m sure she was stripped of the luxury of the pack house and her job at the daycare. The Alpha growls again. “He can suffer. They figured out how to resist my commands before. He’s doing it now.” My brother thins his lips, but nods.
DamienI close my eyes as Hayley’s screams start up again, the wood of the chair groaning as my knuckles turn white from clenching the arms of it.My brother clicks his tongue across from me in disgust. “I would have thought you had learned your lesson.” He sat calmly, picking at his pants as if he was bored. His long fingers were sharpened at the end, making him look more like the monster he truly is. I glare at him now. “And what lesson is that?”“That a woman makes you weak. Twice now I’ve had to save you because of a woman.”I spare a glance at Sabine, who sits tight lipped next to him. Her face is sober, her gaze stuck to the ground. “You would be nothing without a woman, brother. Don’t forget that.”Shadows dance across my feet and I snarl at them. I remember the chill of them pulling me out of a stilled and quiet darkness. Brennan laughs and pulls them away from me. “A woman didn’t make me who I am.” He trails a clawed finger dow
I felt his warm body pressed against mine, but it did little to ease the coldness that had settled inside me. It was an odd thing to feel alone in your own body, I had gone almost 18 years without Aurora’s presence. Now, I couldn’t remember a day before her. Even when she wasn’t speaking to me, I hadn’t realized I still felt her independent opinions on matters and how they might have influenced mine.Damien shifted so I was pressed more against his chest and his thigh pushed closer in between my legs. “I know you’re awake.” He spoke softly.I tilted my head to blink up at him. It was still shocking to see green eyes staring back at me. Raising the hand I had resting on his chest, I traced his jaw. The morning light was filtering through the window
