Thank you for your patience with updates. Please drop any gems you can. I’ll try and keep the updates frequent.
Libby POV I’m slow in comparison but I manage to follow Ben and Beth, breaking away when I reach my own caravan. This was it. Time to move again. I cannot be caught. I rip open the cupboard door under the sink, reaching for my backpack and hoisting it onto my back. I rush to the fridge, clumsily reaching for bottled water as my adrenaline kicks in. I’ve been planning this for months but now that it is happening…I feel severely unprepared. I just don’t possess that…hunter mindset within me. “What’s going on?” Anwir is watching me, too cooly, at the steps leading up to my door. “They will only inspect the others and then move on. Why are you worried?” He turns and I stick my head out the door when I see the blue sirens gathering distance on us…on me. “Anwir…” I hush him, at the sight of the illegal farm workers starting to run away from the now running police officers in the fields. This was like a scene from those tv dramas I used to watch. But now I was in one. I can’t get
Pierce POV I’ve been traveling throughout all of last night and now today. I’ve checked plenty of farms in this area, none of them seem to be hiring illegal farmers from what I can see. Not that they would be advertising this but I have searched the areas for any signs of people remaining hidden. Anwir wasn’t exact in his location, he was holding back on Reuben and I, but I had a small part of the map that he pointed to and didn’t wait to start my search. I knew instantly this was the right farm. The police now swarming the area was the sign that I needed. I keep driving around the farm’s border fencing until I find the accommodation entrance, finding police loading people into vans and vehicles under arrest. I curse under my breath as I exit my vehicle…I was going to have to act as a detective to get any chance of gaining information. I head to the boot of my car, placing a long black smart coat over me…checking the fake detective badge in my inner pocket. “Can I help you?” A po
Libby POV We’ve been moving for hours…my legs were like jelly. I needed a break. I needed to catch my breath. I was already pushing through the burning sensation in my lungs, now fighting a painful stitch in my side. We must have covered miles since we left the farm, surely this would be enough distance for one night. “Ben.” I gasp which finally forces him to turn around to check on us behind. He had been leading our expedition and I had complete faith in him, but he was so hell-bent on getting us somewhere safe he forgot how much stronger he was than the rest of us. His eyes glance nervously upon Beth who was also panting slightly. She may have a wolf, but from what I understand, she hasn’t got her full strength yet. That wouldn’t come until she was of age. Therefore, for right now, she was stronger than me, but not considerably. “Okay, let’s stop for the night.” He agrees, my chest already feeling some relief from his words alone. “There’s a barn about half a mile in that dir
Libby POVIt’s a growl that wakes me. Not the growl from Ben’s wolf but the growl from my own stomach. With the adrenaline pumping through me last night to evade the police, I forgot about dinner. We all did. I sit up slightly, my back stiff from sleeping on the hard concrete barn floor, Anwir’s hands wrapped around me.It was only just dawn, the birds chirping away in the surrounding trees reminding me of the number of times I woke up early to feed the farm animals. Some sadness washes over me from that short life I loved, now having gone forever. Yes it was basic, yes it was hard work…but for once…it was mine and I called the shots. Not my Father, not my half brother….me. I’m hungry just thinking about those eggs sitting in the hen’s coop waiting to be collected. Like little golden eggs ready for the plucking, waiting to be scrambled for breakfast. I’m tempted to go back and get them, start our day off with some food in our stomachs at least. But I can’t, it’s too risky and to
Pierce POVMy wolf had been searching for her in the pitch black woods, following her scent which was still mixed with others. Where ever she was going, she remained with others…deciding not to break off alone.My wolf liked the hunt, deprived of our mate for too long, he wanted to mark her on the spot. But Libby had been subjected to poison by her own father, trying to keep her wolf from coming forward. Trying to keep her hidden even from the human world due to her fortune. A fortune he wanted to use to reclaim the Red Stone pack alliance from Reuben, even planning to claim Evelyn as his, and the twins as his bloodline to rule. I’d have to keep my wolf in control, I refused to be another tyrant in her life. My wolf was growing inpatient, our fur form has been running for miles, surely we’ve made some ground in closing in on their location. Who ever was leading them was fast and skilful in navigation. My wolf keeps his nose to the woodland ground, following her scent when we hear
Libby POVWe are on the move again, pushing our way through the woods towards the direction of the road I had informed them of. As soon as I emerged from the woods by the little camp set up with had made overnight, the first thing they asked was where I had been. I said I was looking for food, which was true, and had found a road. That was enough for now.I had mixed emotions from seeing Pierce after all this time. Anwir was now leading our group towards the road, myself and Beth in the middle with Ben on our rear. I don’t miss the number of times Ben checks behind only to look at me with a frown. He doesn’t know what he is sensing, but I do. Pierce won’t do anything, I believe that, he just wants to see where we reach. He also won’t know who Ben, Beth or Anwir are to have any need to confront them. He’s waiting for me to be alone again, which won’t be until this evening when the others are asleep.When we reach the road, we follow until we come to the outskirts of a small village.
Libby POV As he steps closer into the soft light, illuminating from the fire exit sign, I can’t help but catch my breath. He was exquisite. Like something from a museum…a god that had been depicted into an art statue. But this piece of art is touchable. This god should be mine…according to him. “You can’t keep following me. You have to go, you being here puts my friends at risk.” I whisper, checking the alleyway was empty. “Your friends?” He quirks an eyebrow at me, a glint of amusement in his eyes. I was suddenly feeling hotter than usual, even in the night time air…something about his presence made me flush at the cheeks. Noticing a small off licence earlier and needing to cool my body temperature, I make my way down the alleyway. Pierce walking beside me. Before I push on the shop door I turn to him, keeping my voice low needing him to understand the severity of what him finding me, might mean for Ben and Beth. “Two of them are werewolves, but they think I am completely huma
Evelyn POVLife was hectic! Between both Reuben and I having our own packs, managing the alliance, living in-between both packs and having a young family, things had been a little manic of late. Baby Angel was a little cherub during the day, but at night time he turned into a little devil. Sleep seemed to be a problem for Angel and each time Reuben took him off me so that I could get rest, it would only upset Angel more.We’ve checked as many historical records as we can but there seems to have never been a wolf born from 2 Alpha wolves before. Angel is the first that we know of in existence. I spent my entire pregnancy worrying that something would go wrong in labour, when I shouldn’t have worried at all. Angel was strong, powerful. Even without his wolf, I can sense the hum of power that flows through is veins like an electrical current. Both Rex and Elspeth adored their baby brother and I couldn’t believe how happy I was. How happy I ought to be.But something was niggling at m
