Chapter 15: What's in a Name?

2024-10-29 19:42:56“How was school?” Jim asked over dinner. He had run into town to buy something to cook once the movers left, while Everly unpacked the kitchen boxes. When her dad came back with a box of Hamburger Helper and the meat it was supposed to help, as well as a little container of milk since they’d need that to make it, too, she’d taken her chances with the stove. The propane tank had been filled earlier that day while they were both gone. She had been a little afraid that the whole cabin was about to go up in flames, but thankfully the stove had worked well enough. It was just a little dusty.
“It was… fine,” Everly said. She’d wanted to say good. She’d wanted to try and convince her dad that she’d had a good day at school so he wouldn’t worry or feel guilty about making her come there. But the lie wouldn’t quite stretch that far. It wasn’t true that she’d had a “fine” day at school eith

If there had been a way to get out of history class, Jack would’ve found it. Short of just refusing to go, or ditching class, he couldn’t think of anything he could do or say to be able to skip. If he had wanted to use his influence on the secretary, Ms. Mullinex, he might’ve been able to talk her into letting him work in the office that period, but he couldn’t do that every day. As stupid and boring as Montana history was, he needed the credit to graduate, and there was no way in hell he was going to stick around another year just to take Mr. Donald’s dumb class.He got to class in time to move his chair as far away from Everly’s as possible without it being in the aisle. He’d also written a message on a Post-It Note and stuck it under her desk. Tim was absent again, so Everly would certainly be sitting next to him, and she would definitely find the note.He wondered what she’d thought of the note he’d left in her
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 17: Howling
Lying on her bed with Toby at her feet, Everly thought about her second day of school. She’d gone in that day resolved to prevent Jack from getting to her. And he’d ended up buying her lunch.She had paid him back, though. She’d given him more than enough money to cover her tacos and Dewy Mountain soda. She hated Dewy Mountain, by the way. It was so sour. Why would anyone want to drink that? She needed to start paying attention to what she picked out for lunch. Or start bringing her lunch. Her dad gave her twenty bucks a week for lunch, and that was more than enough, but if she brought her lunch, she wouldn’t have to go stand in the stupid line. She always felt like everyone was watching her when she was up there, so she was always in a huge rush to get out of there and ended up buying something she didn’t even want.Frustrated, Everly turned over. She could see out the window now since her bed was even with it, and there were still no cur
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 18: Questions
History class was not going to be awkward or aggressive today. Everly wasn’t going to let that happen. One way or another, she was going to make sure that Jack wasn’t allowed to intimidate her. She hadn’t seen him at all that day, so as she walked into the classroom, he was sort of hoping that maybe he was absent.He wasn’t. He was there. But… some blond guy was sitting in her seat. Everly let out a sigh of relief but tried not to look too happy. She was pretty sure she remembered there being an empty seat in the back row, so she gladly walked to the one in the corner she was certain no one had been sitting in and sat there.Whoever this dude in her chair was, Jack seemed to like him much better than he liked her. The two of them were chatting and joking around. She tried not to let the sound of Jack’s laughter make her heart thump in her chest or the way he smiled set her cheeks aflame. He was probably so happy just to be rid of he
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 19: Fear
The routine of going to school was starting to come naturally. Everly got up in the morning, got ready for school, took Toby outside to do his business (since there still was no fence), her dad dropped her off, and she went to her classes. Jack wasn’t nearly as rude as he used to be during history class, but he wasn’t particularly nice either. She ate lunch with Alyson and her friends, went to her afternoon classes, and then caught the bus home where she’d take Toby out, do homework, and cook dinner. After that, she’d do the dishes and maybe watch a movie. It was hard to get an Internet signal and it wasn’t much easier to get any TV channels. Her dad said he’d look into getting a satellite, but Everly wasn’t holding her breath. At night, she’d fall asleep listening to wolves howl and usually dream about her mom—or Jack.It was weird. There never seemed to be much of a rhyme or reason to who she’d dream about. The dream
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 20: Not Afraid
Something was different about Everly.Jack could smell it the moment she walked into the school building. At first, he wasn’t sure what it was, but he figured it out pretty quickly when he saw her hanging her backpack in her locker.She had bandages on both of her hands.Over the last few weeks, he’d done his best to stay away from her as completely as possible—except for when he went out to her house in the evenings, the mornings, and sometimes in the middle of the night, just to make sure she was safe. But she didn’t know about any of that. He wasn’t stalking her. He’d just come to the realization that getting her to leave was going to be a lot harder than he’d hoped, so he would need to keep an eye on her to make sure she was safe until he figured out a way to get her to move away.Now, seeing that she was injured, smelling the fresh blood on the surface of her skin in the form of scabs, he needed to know what
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 21: Something's Out There
It had been a shitty day.Not only had Jack attempted to talk to her at least ten times—especially during history class when she was trying to pay attention and take notes—but she’d messed up her calculus assignment and ended up getting a B. That wouldn’t have been a big deal to a lot of people, but Everly knew that she couldn’t afford to go to college without a scholarship, so she needed good grades.As she was heading out to catch the bus, she felt him running up behind her and wished, just for once, she could run super fast, like a cheetah. Or even an Olympic sprinter. Just for a few minutes.If his intention was to make her late for the bus so he had to give her a ride home, well, that wasn’t going to happen either.“Everly!”“I’m pretty sure I already told you to go to hell,” she said, pushing through the door that went outside to the bus.“Please, just listen to me. It hasn&rs
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 22: Understand
Slamming the car into park, Jack took deep breaths through his nose, trying to calm himself down so that he could talk to Everly without yelling at her. He had his finger on the locking mechanism, making sure she didn’t get out of his car before he wanted her to.If he’d been even a few seconds later… it would’ve been all over with. He’d hesitated to drop his siblings and Chase off at home before coming back to check on her but thought he’d made himself clear enough to her earlier that day that she wouldn’t do anything stupid.He’d been wrong. So very wrong.She was just sitting next to him, her still-human heart beating in her chest. She was scared, and at the moment, it wasn’t of the monsters in the woods. It was of him.Well, if that’s what it took….“What the actual hell did you think you were doing?” he said, not caring anymore that he sounded like a brute.“What

The nerve of that asshole!What the hell could he possibly be thinking? First, he picked her up and carried her to his car, and then he locked her inside so that she couldn’t get out. When he finally released her, he sat in her driveway like a freaking stalker!Seriously, Jack Grey was messed up in the head!It probably had been him in the woods—somehow. Or maybe he put his friends up to it just to trick her into having to get into his car.God, he needed some serious mental help.Still fuming about Jack’s crazy behavior, Everly went about making dinner. She decided to make meatloaf. It would be the easiest thing to take her aggression out on. She pounded the meat, crackers, herbs, and ketchup together in a bowl until it couldn’t take anymore before putting it in the oven, washing her hands, and setting the timer.Toby seemed concerned. He was watching her like he thought she was crazy, too.Maybe she was. But

Everly carefully made her way down the stairs toward Jack’s living room, holding on tight to the railing. The heels she was wearing were a lot higher than what she was used to, but Alyson insisted she should wear them because they looked perfect with the sapphire blue dress she was wearing. While Everly loved the tight, strapless, sequined dress, she wasn’t sure that the silver heels looked all that great.They’d look a lot worse if she fell down the stairs and broke her neck because of them…. But then, she was a shifter now, so her coordination should be better.That didn’t make her feel any less shaky on the shoes.When she got about three-fourths of the way down, she heard a loud exhale and managed to pull her eyes away from the next step long enough to look at Jack.Her heart skipped a beat, seeing him standing there by the front door with a pink corsage in his hand, wearing a perfectly-fitted suit with a tie that matched her dress. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was slightly a
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 154: Moving Forward
Pain radiated throughout Jack’s chest and back as he felt himself slowly being dragged back to reality. His thoughts were cloudy as he tried to remember exactly what had happened. The last thing he remembered, he was running through the forest toward the sounds of fighting, looking for Everly.The next thing he knew, he was lying on the ground, blood everywhere, trying to breathe through the most unbelievable pain he’d ever experienced in his entire life.“Come on, Jack!” he heard a somewhat familiar voice telling him. “Go ahead and open your eyes, Jack. Let us know that you can hear us.”It was a struggle, but the realization that he didn’t know where Everly was or if she was okay made him will his eyes open. Blinking a few times, Jack looked at the concerned faces around him and tried to piece everything together.He was surrounded by people who looked like they were about to cry, except for Jamie, the healer. She was concerned, but not tearful.He’d seen Everly, though, so he force
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 153: No Cousin of Mine
Not long ago, watching Jack die wouldn’t have been that big of a deal to Slate. In fact, he probably would’ve just shrugged about it and made some remarks like, “Too bad. He was so young.” But now that he realized that Alyson was his fated mate, Slate felt compelled to find someone to help the guy he’d wanted to tear limb from limb all by himself only a few days ago.Tearing through the woods, he used his mind-link capability to reach out to anyone from his pack to see if they knew where any healers were. Unfortunately, everyone was either too far away to hear him or they were too busy to respond.He darted through a thick wooded area and came around a large pine tree to see a wide meadow full of velvety green grass glowing in the silvery moonlight.And on the other side of it, he saw a familiar wolf loping along, following his nose.It wasn’t one of the healers he was looking for, though.No, it was someone who shouldn&rs

The smile on Everly’s face was there despite the pain at seeing Lexi show up right behind Maura as she was in the process of tormenting her. Maura might’ve thought it was fun prolonging her death, but just like the villain in every James Bond movie, she was about to find out what happened when you didn’t kill your enemy right away.“What’s wrong with your face, Everly?” Maura had asked her, but Everly didn’t get a chance to answer before it was Maura’s face that was suddenly messed up.Lexi hit her from behind with a strong beam of magic. It was so powerful that Everly could actually see it glowing and lighting up the forest. When it hit the cheerleader in the back, Maura’s eyes bulged, and her body stiffened, her back arching as she tried to figure out exactly what was happening and how to make the pain stop.Immediately, the agony that had been coursing through Everly’s body faded as Maura was too dis

Hands would’ve been a great thing to have at the moment, but Everly only had paws. She looked around and saw that her dad had the backpack, so theoretically, she could go shift and get dressed quickly, but her back hurt so bad, she didn’t know if she could get all of that done.Jim was already trying to stop the blood that was flowing like a river out of Jack’s chest and back. “I’m so sorry,” he kept saying. “I was just trying to protect you, Everly.”She couldn’t respond to her father, what with him being a human and her being a wolf, but she knew it wasn’t on purpose.That wouldn’t matter if Jack died.Behind her, she heard the sound of rocks and tree branches sliding down the side of the ravine as Alyson and Slate came flying down behind them.“What happened?” Alyson asked, using the mind-link. “We thought we heard—” Her eyes landed on Jack and her countenance
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 150: Catastrophe
Every inch of Everly’s body ached, but she knew she had to push herself up off of the ground and get out of there.If that wolf were to come back, he would kill her, and she’d fought too hard to die now.Pushing up off of the ground, Everly tried to get her feet beneath her. The ache in her back was blindingly painful. She thought she might pass out from the pain. Could she have injured her spine when she hit that tree trunk upon her descent?She didn’t know, but she had to ignore the pain and move.Everly took a few careful steps, trying to get her bearings. She knew that Jack and her mother were up on top of the hill. But it was so far away from where she was now, she couldn’t even hear them fighting.Climbing back up the steep ravine would be nearly impossible in her current state.Instead, she’d need to find another way to walk to get back to someone who could help her.If only she had her cell phone&
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 149: After Her
The black wolf Jack was fighting was strong, and though he had spent a lot of time training and sparing with other wolves in his pack… he’d never actually fought anyone with the intent to kill them.But… at the moment, he had no choice. If he didn’t try to kill the wolf that was scratching at him with his long claws, trying to knock Jack backward so that he could sink his long fangs into his neck, then that wolf would finish him off without a second thought, and Jack couldn’t let that happen.Next to him, Slate didn’t seem to have any problem whatsoever going in for a kill shot. Out of the corner of his eye, Jack could see Slate knock the smaller male he was fighting onto his backside and then chomp down on the sensitive area between his neck and shoulder. Within a few seconds, the wolf stopped moving, and Slate stood up, looking for the next wolf to take on.Jack didn’t have time to survey the area as he needed to pin this
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 148: The Battle Begins
Running through the forest with Jack on one side and her mother on the other, Everly felt a nervous tension building inside of her. Knowing that Jack and her mother had vowed to protect her was one thing, but that didn’t mean that she wouldn’t end up in a situation where she’d be forced to protect herself.And she was pretty sure she wasn’t capable of that.After all, she wasn’t exactly an athletic human to begin with. Now that she was a wolf, that hadn’t changed. These other shifters had been training for this their whole lives, so they knew exactly what to do while they were fighting. And the werewolves were so vicious, they instinctively knew exactly what to do to make sure that they could handle anyone who was stupid enough to challenge them.But Everly felt just about as vulnerable as her dad. At least he had brought a gun. He was riding on her mother’s back right now, and Everly made a point not to look directly into Jim

“He was at the party?” Everly repeated what Su said. “Slate was at the party where you were turned into a werewolf?”Su’s head bobbed up and down again. “That’s right. He was with the guy that bit me.”“You’re sure it wasn’t him though, right?” Everly asked as she felt Jack tense up beside her.“Oh, yeah. I’m sure it wasn’t him. But still… it’s weird to see someone who knows about all of this. He was with the guy when he was telling me about what happened and telling me that I was in huge trouble and I was going to have to do something.”Everly couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Slate had gone through this before. “Slate!” she shouted, and he looked up.His eyes flickered to Everly’s face, and then they went to Su’s, and they widened. Even from across the yard, Everly could read his lips, “Oh, shit.”
