All Chapters of Chased By The Light: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I would have taken her apology seriously if she didn’t still have that stupid smirk on her face. Oh, and not to mention her condescending tone. Who was I kidding? She was doing it all to wind me up. I didn’t know why she had something against me, but it took everything in me not to blurt out about her being a hybrid. I didn’t know what it meant, but I knew it was a secret that she wanted to keep on the down-low, because why else would she and her brothers have a cloaking spell on them? There was a reason why they were trying to conceal their true aura from Scions and I could have exploited it, but without my parents or brother here, I couldn’t risk starting a fight.I was sure that my pack would have my back, but I wasn’t sure how powerful the triplets were and if I did take them on, I couldn’t be sure that Shana would be on my side. I knew she worked closely with my father and our pack, and that she and her coven were classed as pack members, but if her loyalty lay with the other wit

My dad chuckled at my naivety, which pissed me off even more. Like this situation wasn’t bad enough, I didn’t need to be laughed at or treated like a child.“Kiddo, they’re in full-blown Alpha mode right now. You have no idea what they’re capable of. They’re running on pure animal instinct and that instinct is telling them that you’re their mate and we’ve taken you away from them. They’ll kill us all!”I stood in silence, glancing back and forth between my mom and dad. Their worried expressions didn’t waver and I found myself battling my own thoughts. I couldn’t believe that Chase or Jesse would kidnap me, or hurt me in any way, but seeing the way they had been manipulated by the spells painted on the walls, I couldn’t be sure of much anymore.I thought that leaving all that mess behind at Murston would have been a fresh start for me. I believed that Chase and Jesse would respect my decision and get on with their lives, and leave me to get on with mine. I never thought about their ani

After a large yawn and stretch, I rubbed my eyes before opening them. The gorgeous smell of pancakes and bacon filled my room and I couldn’t wait to get downstairs to stuff my face. I was unusually hungry this morning and I would definitely be putting my morning run back an hour or two so I could have breakfast first. There was no way I was missing out on mom’s signature breakfast; she made the most delicious pancakes.I threw my covers off and ran into my bathroom to pee, shower, and get dressed. I rushed through my hygiene routine because I didn’t want my food getting cold and I knew I couldn’t rock up to the dining table in my pajamas—my mom would never allow that. As laid back as she was normally, when it came to presentation, she was a drill sergeant. She always said that you never knew who could come knocking, so we always needed to look our best. Today was one of those days that proved her correct, because just as I made my way towards the stairs, there was a knock on the door.

After shouting out about the two blonde wolves, I bombarded my mom and Austin with questions. "What happened?" I asked my mom but didn't give her a chance to answer. Turning to my brother I asked, "Do we know two blonde wolves?" He shot a worried glance at my mom, then shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I have met a bunch of our wolves and they're all brown or black like you, mom and dad," I said, and he nodded in agreement before glancing at our mom again. I knew that they were keeping things from me, but my family were experts at keeping secrets. I mean they kept all that Scion and werewolf crap away from me for my entire life. So, if they didn't want me to know, then I wasn't going to know. "Look, I know you're keeping stuff from me ..." I glared at the pair of them, then snapped, "again!". I hated the fact that they wouldn't tell me anything about the wolves in my dream, but their reactions told me all I needed to know. They were real. I dropped the subject as soon as my father

I was finishing up my shift at Aurora's bar and couldn’t wait to get off my feet because they were absolutely killing me. It had been a busy night and all I wanted to do was go home, take a bath, and curl up with a good book. As I stacked the last of the freshly dish-washed glasses on the shelf, I heard the bell chime at the front door. I rolled my eyes and huffed. It wasn’t the first time I’d forgotten to flip the closed sign around and lock the door before cashing up. Usually, I would have served the late customer one drink then send them on their way, but I was exhausted and couldn’t be bothered entertaining the drunks tonight.“I'm just closing up!” I shouted out, not even bothering to turn and look at who'd walked in.The guys were rowdy and paid no attention to my statement. They’d either not heard me, or chose to ignore me. Either way, they were getting kicked out, even if I had to ring Kyle and get him to come down and throw them out. To be honest, the customers were pretty go
