Cold water burned a trail down my back making me shiver, but what was supposed to be an uncomfortable feeling, made me feel alive. The cold water washed away the tears before they had the chance to ingrain themselves in my skin. These were the parts I hid from the world. To everyone, it was over. The men responsible for snatching Jasper away from us had received their punishment and life went on without them, but to me, even the momentary satisfaction of seeing them writhe in pain before they died didn’t make up for the loss. Shutting off the water, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in a fluffy bath sheet, paying little mind to the blue tinge of my lips and the lifelessness in my eyes as I passed the mirror on my way to the walk-in closet. If a stranger were to visit nothing would seem amiss, Jasper’s clothes still hung neatly on the left side of the closet as if he would suddenly reappear behind me and rip a T-shirt off the hanger for me to slip into before bed. Cur
The pain in my body registered around the same time as the steady beeping of the heart monitor did. Cracking one eye open at a time I recognised the typical design of the hospital room and a deep sigh left my lips. Searching for the call button for the nurse, I held down the red button till I heard the alarm going off at the nurse’s station just down the hallway. “Luna! You’re awake, are you feeling okay?” A nurse came bursting through the door and rushed to my side. “I’m feeling okay, thank you. How long have I been out?” I groaned as I tried pushing myself up on the bed and her hand shot out to stop me. “Wait.” Instead of helping me up, she pressed a button on the remote and the bed lifted me into a seated position automatically. “Thank you, how long have I been out?” I repeated. “About two hours. The doctor is on his way, Luna.” She nodded and offered me a glass of water that was covered at the side. “Luna Atwater, welcome back.” Doctor Brendan smiled when he entered th
“By the democratic vote taken by the members of the High Tide pack, it is my pleasure to welcome Jason Pierce as the new Theta of the High Tide pack!” I announced with vigour and the pack went wild. Jason was no doubt everyone’s first choice, though I commended Carter and Candace for putting up a good fight. Jason climbed onto the makeshift stage with a proud smile stretched on his face and a spring in his step. Turning to face him, I stuck out my hand, “Congratulations, Jason. You deserve this, I have no doubt you will make us all proud.” Jason accepted my wishes with a curt nod, “Thank you for this opportunity, Luna. I will try my level best to be the best Theta I can be.”
My heart thudded wildly in my chest as Selene’s utterance registered in my mind.“Wh- who are you?” I swallowed thickly, reaching behind me to steady myself on the boulder.“I’m sorry for following you, I didn’t mean to scare you.” His soothing baritone voice sent shivers down my spine and tears gathered in my eyes without warning.“No, this can’t be real, I must be dreaming.” I shook my head vigorously and stumbled back into the rock before I spun around and took off in the direction of the High Tide pack.‘This can’t be happening. It’s just a dream.’ I repeated
“You can wear these for now.” My jaw clenched as I handed him some of Jasper’s clothes.“Thank you.” He took them from me, his fingers brushing mine in the process and without thinking I snatched away my hand like he burned me and his eyes flashed with hurt.“I’m sorry.” I looked down, holding my hand to my chest.“It’s okay.” He flashed me a tight smile and for a moment an awkward silence fell between us.“I’ve uh- been thinking, we need to find you a name, at least till we figure out who you are.” I cringed a little at my own word, hoping he didn’t see how awkward I felt.
“Okay, I’ve made sure no one will come back here to clean or look for me today. You can watch TV and play around with my tablet while I’m gone, use the time to try and figure out some of the things you don’t remember, but don’t make a lot of noise please, I don’t want anyone poking around here.” I motioned around the house.“I’ll be back late today, there’s food in the fridge, you can heat it up in the microwave.” I pointed to the appliance behind me and turned back to look him dead in the eye, “You have to stay here, okay? Under no circumstances can anyone find out you’re here, so please just stay hidden and if you hear anything, hide. You can use the tablet to call me on this number if you need something, my number is stored on there.” I tapped the screen where I’d typed out instructions on how to make
The pack buzzed with excitement as the three of us climbed the stairs, everyone was whispering about the bulky man who walked behind me with confidence radiating from his being.Marcel and Jason took their places behind me as I stood at the podium, “Good evening High Tiders.” I grinned widely. “First, I’d like to thank you all for taking the time to be here tonight. We’ve faced some tough times as a pack, but I’d like to think this is the beginning of a new era.” I looked around at the hopeful faces that stared back at me, pausing a little when I caught sight of Nathan and Halle seated right at the back.“With that, I’d like you all to meet Marcel Miller.” I motioned to him when he stepped up beside me and nodded at the crowd before him, “Marcel was a warri
“Ardere…” I reached out shakily, glancing between his troubled eyes and reddened fingers. Ardere’s eyes met mine and for a moment he just stared as I took hesitant steps closer while I felt like my heart would beat out of my chest. “Stop! What are you doing, you could get hurt!” Nathan’s voice travelled through the crowd and Ardere’s eyes widened. He went to pull away, but before his hand was out of reach, I threaded my fingers through his and held on tight. “He wouldn’t hurt me,” I whispered, squeezing his hand in mine as pleasurable tingles spread up my arm from his touch. “My Jasper wouldn’t hurt me.” My vision swam with tears as the truth hit me square in the face. It was him, if there was any doubt before, there wasn’t now. “Jasper?” He questioned shakily. “Yes, it’s you, it’s really you.” I choked on a sob, the relief that spread through my body warmed my heart and for the first time in three months, I smiled a genuine smile, watery but genuine. “I- uh…” He trailed off an
