The click of the last cuff was a brief relief as the car rocked to the side and I grip the steering wheel, trying to counter the movement. I know we’ll be flipped soon and I hope Andrus is close by.
“Protect your brother, Meghan. Don’t worry about me.” I say through clenched teeth. Adeline running me hard and Sage begging to be let out to play.
“I don’t usually give you a second thought anyway.” She scoffs and I laugh from the sweet taste filling my mouth as I slam on the brakes, narrowing missing the wolf that was charging us.
Before the car has come to a complete stop, I jump and I hear Meghan pushing Jax out of the door on the other side. I shift, letting Sage take over a
Please review or gem if you can. Thank you!
I slipped out of bed, stretching my sore body. Damien was sleeping soundly, which was a weird thing to witness because I don’t think vampires slept, but he was no longer a vampire.The moonlight lit up the room and I glanced out the window, taking in the dense forest surrounding the house. We had spent the rest of the day entangled in each other and I was trying to push the guilt away. I felt selfish to have a moment of happiness for myself when I didn’t know what was happening to everyone else. Rubbing my chest, I could feel the slight warmth of my pack, a reminder that I’m not alone, but I had no idea where they were.“Hayley…” Sabine’s soft voice interrupts my thoughts and I spin to see her standing in the doorway. Damien didn’t steer from the bed and I clutch onto the windowsill to prevent
HayleyI heard the whistle in the air before I saw the arrow that struck Brennan in the chest. An arm went around my waist and pulled me into a hard chest as a brunette woman came from behind me, firing more arrows. She didn’t spare me a glance as she walked in front of me as Brennan roared, pulling at the arrows as fast as she was launching them. “In the portal, little wolf,” A deep voice spoke in my ear as I barely caught Niko’s face before he threw me into Damien's arms. “Get her out of here.”Damien tightened his grip and tried to push me toward the window. I grabbed his arm, twisted out of his hold, and growled at him, “He’s pack. I’m not leaving him behind.”“He’s going to be right behind us,” Damien grabbed me again, pushing me hard into the portal. It felt like being dunked into ice water, light so bright you couldn’t see but the cool sensation slipped over my skin and coldness seeped into my bones. It reminded me of when I made the deal to save Damien’s life but I didn’t fee
“It’s twice the size of your old room!” My mom said, gently squeezing my shoulders. “Yeah, it’s great. I love it” I replied with a half smile. I know she was trying really hard to make this the easiest transition for me. Moving into a new town was not how I envisioned my senior year, but I doubt my mom saw herself losing her job either. I know she felt really bad about forcing us to move in with my aunt till my mom could find another job, but we were left with no choice. She had originally agreed with me staying with my best friend till graduation, but her dad's dick somehow ended up in the babysitter. And well... that was no longe
“You don’t have any sports teams at all?” I stared at the receptionist of my new high school in disbelief. She shook her head gently, her curls falling perfectly back into place. “No dear, I’m afraid we do not.” “Ok so what do you have?clubs? Anything? I really can’t afford to lose a year of activities for college.” “We don’t offer any. You come to class and leave. We start at 8am and finish at 12pm. You’re free to do what you want after
The diner was filled with delicious scents, making my stomach growl instantly. “I can make you something if you want.” Meghan said through giggles. “I don’t have any money on me. Thank you though” I said with flushed cheeks. She waved her hand dismissively, walking around the counter. “Nonsense, my parents own the place. They really won’t care” I quietly sat at a bar stool as Meghan disappeared behind the kitchen doors. Lookin
I reached Sabine’s house in no time, cautiously looking around me the whole time. My mom greeted me in surprise that I was home so early. I explained the schools policy and told her I’ll probably have to find a job, and asked if Sabine was here or at her shop. I walked out to the garden where Sabine was; she didn’t bother to look up at it as she tended whatever plants were in the lines of pots. “Is this necklace Amethyst?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. She nodded her head, and continued to work.
“Find anything interesting?” Sabine asked as soon as I got into the car. I debated on telling her the truth because I still didn’t believe it myself. I feel like it’s easy to fall into the belief that the supernatural exists because sometimes reality sucks, but there always has to be an explanation for stuff. It was easy to be like oh he’s a vampire or he’s a werewolf, instead of possibly thinking maybe he’s good at reading body language and used leading words to get more information. But on the other hand, my aunt was into some really weird stuff. “Just researching,” I said vaguely.
My mom knocked on the car window, noticing Sabine and I had been out here a while. “What are you guys doing?? Come inside I have the most exciting news.” I grabbed her food and followed her inside, Sabine was quiet behind me. “Thanks for letting me borrow your phone. I never heard of a satellite phone before. You were right though! They had a job offer!” My mom said excitingly, handing Sabine a phone that looked like a black brick. Sabine hugged her. “That’s amazing!”
