~Lorenzo~He and Collins walked out into the huge great room in the pack house. The fire was burning warmly and a few of the pack members were mulling around. He could breathe out here. Being in that little room with her was more than he could take. She sat down on the huge leather sectional that sat in front of the fireplace, while Lo still kept his distance and went and stood by the fire. “Now. What did you say you needed help with?” He asked her. She finally looked at him and bit her lip as if she was afraid to ask anything now. She really needed to stop biting her lip. He zeroed in on the movement, his eyes darkening. “Oh um. Right. So. I want to apply for college in the town.. I went to the human college in our old pack… and I need to get my transcripts sent over here… and yeah so anyway I don’t want to lose all the hours and classes I’ve already taken so I want to hurry and get in before the next semester starts. But when I asked your beta if he could get me some informat
Emily She and Alan had made it into the human town. Being there was making her feel sick, and making her think about the trip here with Charlotte. They’d passed the tattoo shop where they’d gotten matching tattoos… and the place where they got their hair cuts. She was getting angrier and angrier the more she remembered everything. Now they were in the next town. The one where the guys had first shown up. She knew the addresses that Ellis had given her, where the men had been seen… at least allegedly. But just as a precaution she wanted to go to the loading docks where she and Charlotte had gone. Alan argued they were probably only there to follow them, and she knew as much. But she wasn’t leaving a stone unturned. But they weren’t there. She even stopped and asked a few people if they’d seen the truck the guy drove. So they headed to the first address, which was a house. But when they got there no one was home. The next place was a bar type restaurant where Emily had planned to
Emily “Alan. Did you catch that scent?” She asked him carefully. He looked at her, knowing exactly what she was saying. “Yes.” He said. “Same ones, right?” She asked. He nodded. In that moment her phone started ringing and the two wolves jerked their heads up. She and Alan crashed down in the seat out of sight while she quickly quieted her phone. She looked to see who was calling. It was Lorenzo. Why would he be calling her… unless….“Shit.” She said. “Brian blabbed to Lo”. She told Alan. “Well may as well call it off now he’ll be here in five minutes.”Of course he couldn’t actually get here that fast. But he would try. She needed to talk to him and calm him down. So as she and Alan were scrunched down in the car hiding she called him back. They rolled up the windows just in case it rang again. They couldn’t hear them talking… but a shrieking phone ring? They could easily hear that. He answered on the first ring. “Lo?” She said quietly. “Please tell me your brother has
Emily. “Stay back!” The man yelled. The other guy was keeping his eye on Alan who was staring at him so hard Emily half expected lasers to come out of his eyes. “You. Shot. My. Best. Friend.” She ground out. “And me., which I don’t even care about. But when you shot her? You made a big…..huge …. mistake.”“Listen… I didn’t..” the guy tried. But Emily growled again. Both guys watching her now looked like they were about to cry. They might know werewolves existed, but she didn’t think they’d ever seen one shift before. They were too scared. “Wait… please…..” he said. “Who hired you?” She asked him. “I … I don’t know! I never got a name!”“What did they give you? For murdering someone? What did they pay you for that?!” She spat out, her eyes started glowing … her anger getting the best of her. “Please … don’t hurt us. They threatened my daughter!!” The man said. Emily stopped. What did he just say? “What??” She asked him. “Two guys. They’d been coming into the bar where m
Emily A while later she and Alan were on their way back to the pack, laughing their asses off at how everything went down. It wasn’t what she had expected, that was for sure. But she couldn’t kill a man who had just been protecting his daughter. He was a human, approached by two werewolves that he had no idea even existed… that threatened his little girl. She could understand. Although he could’ve shot the other wolves with the silver bullets the rogues gave him… She did feel better … that was for certain. Now they just had to catch the two rogue wolves. Ellis was already on it… finding their location. She would have to wait a couple days before she could try to get them to let her take care of those two. “Poor mustache.” She said. “Who??” Alan asked. “The guy— mustache. We don’t know his real name.” She answered. “I think his name is pissed his pants”. Alan answered. They both started laughing. Because he did, indeed, piss his pants when she shifted and went up to him. S
Lorenzo He had been pacing the better part of an hour. After he got a call from Brian, and found out about Emily’s hair-brained scheme… he immediately called her. She had the audacity to act like it wasn’t a big deal and then the little fucker hung up on him. He was so mad he through the lamp sitting on the table across the room. He’d forgotten all about Collins, she sat there wide eyed… as he threw his tantrum. He sighed, rubbed his hand through his hair making it stand every which way then down his face. “Fuck. I am so sorry Collins. You… you didn’t need to see that.” He said. “It’s okay….” She said shaking her head. But it wasn’t. He was her Alpha and she didn’t need to see him losing his shit. Even though he was most definitely losing all of his shit right now. “No. No it’s not okay. I haven’t been a very good Alpha recently. I’ve had a lot going on…..” he began. “Honestly. It’s perfectly fine. You’re frustrated. I get it. You have emotions, that’s normal. It’s good th
Emily The look on Maeve and Brian’s faces were enough to know it was bad. She didn’t wait on any explanations, or to ask any questions. She just took off running. She ran and ran and ran all the way back into the middle of the territory. Up and down the streets, cutting through woods and peoples yards to get there as fast as she could. She finally saw the hospital up ahead. She slammed through the front door and ran through the waiting room. She kept going. Get to Charlotte. That’s all that mattered. Finally when she got to her room she skidded to a stop. She opened the door and went inside. Dr. Pavarti, Pam, and Alice stood around her bed. Emily closed her eyes, listening. Breaths. Faint but there. She was still alive. “What happened??” Charlotte demanded. At her voice Charlotte’s eyes opened just barely. She had woken up???“Oh goddess!” Emily cried as she ran to the bed. “Charlotte!” She cried and cried and thanked goddess her friend was waking up. “Emily….” Dr. Pavar
Emily She walked back into Charlotte’s room slowly… not wanting to face what the doctor has told her. Pam walked by her on her way out and laid her hand on her arm. “Just in case it’s what we think it is, tell her goodbye Emily. Most people don’t get that chance. But you do. Tell her everything you want.” Pam whispered as she left the room. She repeated basically exactly what the doctor had told her mere seconds ago. She wondered if they’d practiced that. A way to soften the blow when telling people their lives would forever be changed, and not in a good way. Emily was practicality full on sobbing at this point as Alice turned to her and softly smiled. “A-Alice” Emily stuttered between her sobs. “I just can’t accept what they’re say-saying. It can’t be true.” Alice hugged her tightly and then said:“It happened with my mother when she passed. It seems like the same thing to me.”Emily cried harder. “We would need a miracle Emily and I don’t think it’s coming. I’ve said my
Lorenzo They were coming in the pack house for a break from the rigorous training they’d been doing for a few weeks now. Lorenzo was happy to help train. But at the same time he had other pack duties and responsibilities he needed to be working on. Not to mention his mind was miles and miles away with Emily still. After he’d heard about Charlotte, he wanted to go to her immediately. But because he had been back and forth so much he decided to wait and go for the funeral instead. He had people coming into his territory those days anyway. And he didn’t want to leave Jarvis by himself to deal with all that. He had agreed to house several of the guards from his region that were training for the group that was going to the east. Part of the council had already been to most of the packs in the north, and they needed somewhere to put everybody. So he took in some of them. But that meant housing and food for all these people as well. It was a big undertaking.. and he couldn’t leave and
Emily ……………….……………….It had been two weeks since that day in the hospital when Charlotte took her last breath holding Emily’s hand. Emily had sat there and cried until Dr. Pavarti came in and unhooked Charlotte from all the machines. Something hit Emily in that moment. And she couldn’t hold it in any longer. She screamed. A painful, heart wrenching sound came from her. She screamed some more. Then she screamed again. She got up and ran out of the hospital into the cold night air. And she screamed some more.People were coming outside that had heard her, she’d woken them up in the middle of the night but she didn’t care. Her brothers and Maeve had come to the hospital too. They must’ve been in the waiting room but she didn’t even see them. They stood behind her not saying anything. Alan was a mess… he really liked Charlotte and Emily had hoped they’d end up mates one day. Alice came outside then, tears running down her face as well. But she was holding it together. Emily d
