Jenny POV"I've got a weird feeling about those two," "Yeah, I know what you mean. It feels like they are hiding something," Tina agrees as we stand in the kitchen, watching the two young strangers sit in silence. "I know most of the folks we get in here are hiding something, but with them, it just seems ... different, you know, odd.""Yes," I confere, "it's definitely odd. Like the looks they give each other without saying a word, and did you see the cuts and bruises on her?" "Yes!" Tina says a bit too loudly, "and is that a bite mark on her neck?""Yes, thank you," relieved she noticed it aswell, "he has one too.""What the hell? Something is really off here," Tina states, still looking at them."I asked if she needed help to get away from him, but she said no quite harshly and insisted it was them getting carried away in the bedroom." I tell Tina, and she puffs at it, calling bullshit. "Anyway, they are trying to get to Hopster? I don't kn
Elias POV Chilli couldn't help but fidget for the rest of the day as we wait for the coach man to arrive, so to keep herself busy until then, she insisted and pleaded with Jenny to let her do some jobs around the centre. She finally gave in to Chilli after her relentless badgering, "Fine, but I don't know what you can do," Jenny tells her,"Anything, cleaning, laundry, anything," Chilli says with glee at finally being aloud to keep herself busy."Well .... our housekeeper didn't come in today, I was going to ..." "I can do that," Chilli beams to Jenny surprise. Unbeknown to Jenny, Chilli is a very capable young woman. Apart from her having been instrumental in helping our fathers run the pack so smoothly for the past several years, while also being tort and raised to one day take over and help run our pack as my beta. She was also put through her paces with that cow of a stepmother, may she rest in hell, who basically treated her as a maid. Giving he
Chilli POV Feeling Elias squeezing my hand supportively, sooths my mind and nerves, I feel like I can finally breathe and contain my emotions. "Oh girl, you look tired," Tina states as she looks at me. I'm just able to muster a smile as Jenny adds,"I'm not surprised, you worked incredibly hard today." She smiles at me, "I don't think this place as ever been this clean before. Can certainly use you here? Are you sure you want to leave? Could definitely find you a home here?" She jest hopefully, and I smile as I blush,"Thank you, but we really need to get back home." "Shame, but I get it. Hopefully, you'll sleep on the coach ride tonight and be back before you know it." "I hope so, that's the plan anyway," I sigh as I finish my food. Once done, I start to collect the plates and thank Tina for the lovely meal when Elias stands and takes them from me. He gives me a stern look, telling me to sit back down. When I do, he gives me a smile a
Elias POV The feel of her body relaxing against mine tells me she is finally asleep, and I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank the goddess," I whisper under my breath, gently resting my head on hers. My body too requires rest, but my mind and instincts are telling me to stay alert, for there could be danger around every corner. So for now, I'll stay awake so she can rest in peace, knowing I am keeping guard. The coach comes to a jolty stop to let more passengers on every so often until the vehicle is fully full. After which we don't stop for several hours as we travel through the night and eventually, I also surrender to my body's need to sleep. My dreams plague me with what could be a waiting us once we arrive home. I see blood and destruction everywhere I look. I hear the howling cries of those I love and care for, being overpowered and hurt by others I don't recognise. My home no longer feels like home, it's been claimed by them, her, him, and they
Winter packLeroy POVI can't get Erin off my mind, although why would I want to? She is my mate now, after all. But it's hard not to show my delight and happiness when thinking about her. I especially want and need to see her as I felt her pain through the bond, and it scared me, feeling all that fear and adrenaline, cursing through her body. I had to seriously fight my instincts to not run to her side then and there, but somehow, I stopped myself, knowing it would make our relationship known too soon. Anyway, she said she is fine and will fill me in later tonight, but that's not enough for me, I need to know now if she is okay, I want to go to her and check she is okay and kill who ever hurt her. "Yo, Leroy, you okay dude?" The man's question pulls me from my inner rant as I see the others around the table staring at me, as I tightly grip the cutlery in my hands, to the point my nuckles are white. Dropping the knife and fork, I quickly answer,"Erm,
Erin POV "Do you hear that?""What?" Luna asks as I push up against the bars to hear better as someone is barking up above, and I get the feeling Leroy is up there, too. Suddenly, I get a sinking feeling in my stomach as I yank on the door to my cell to create as much noise as possible. "What are you doing?" Luna hisses at me, "Erin!?" "Creating a distraction, help me?" I plead, as I open a mind-link with Leroy, 'Run,' I whisper, still trying to make as much noise as I can, 'Leroy, RUN!' Luna copy's me as the loud, angry footsteps stomp down the stares towards us. 'Erin?' I hear Leroy ask,'Yes, please, go, quick!' With that, I can feel him do as I asked and go. "What the fuck?" The guards howl at us for all the noise we've been making, "Shut the fuck up!!" The man's eyes are wild, as he stares at me hungrily making me shrink away from the bars. In a lower tone, he adds, "If you weren't to be Corbyn's mate, I'd come in there
Tears silently fall from my eyes as we run hand in hand from the cell and out of the building, too scared to look back. With the cover of night, we flee to the tree line unseen. Once there, we stop for a moment to catch our breath and to check that no one is following us. As I force myself to calmly take deep breaths, I pull myself together and scold myself for being emotional and for losing control at a time like this. Leroy grips my hand tighter in reassurance before pulling me further into the woods, "Come on, we've got to keep going. We can't stay here." I nod and follow suit as he leads me onwards. We run until our legs and feet can carry us no more, and by that point, we are miles away from the pack house. "Okay," Leroy pants, "think we can rest for a bit." "Thank the goddess," I sigh, falling to the ground in a sweaty heap, and with a laugh, he joins me. We lean on each other, and all I wish to do is have him, for him to take me in his embrace and to touch and
As we grind up against each other, I'm pinned between him and the tree, Leroy's lips have now travelled down to my neck as I relish in his touching and pleasuring. But I want more, I want him, all of him. His playing has driven me crazy to the point that I feel like I can take it no longer. As if sensing my hunger for him, he whispers in my head as he slowly pulls his hand from my jeans. 'Right here? Right now?''Yep,' I whisper and groan at the absence of his hand. But then use this opportunity to gracefully remove my legs from around his torso so I can slide my trousers off to show I want this as much as I can feel he does.'Are you sure? Are you ready?' He asks, still kissing at my neck, unable to stop touching me, but needing to double check I want this like this.'Definitely!' I confirm, feeling he feels it too, he neither, unable to prolong it anymore.'Good.' He says victoriously in my head, as neither of us can hold back our desire to consummate our
