All Chapters of The Last Wolf: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Slowly opening my eyes, I looked around the darkened room. I realized I was in my room, cocooned in my bed. A warm hand held mine and I looked over at my mom, sleeping softly at the edge of the bed with half of her body slumped over in a chair.    I gently moved my hand away and went to stretch a bit, my body felt really stiff. A dull pain lingered on the sides of my head.    “Oh Sweetie you’re awake. Let me get you some water” My mom said softly.    I realized how dry my throat felt and a cough followed forcibly.    Sabine hovered by my doorw

“How was your walk?” Sabine asked as Jax helped me up the stairs to my room. “Eventful.” He murmured back, his hands holding my hips firmly as we walked together. “How so?” She pressed on, following us. “Damien stopped us for a chat.” I said bluntly. “The vampire? He’s a dangerous one.” She said absentmindedly. “Funny enough he said the same thing about you.” Sabine paused on the stairs as I felt a shift

Jax showed me around his house. There were multiple bedrooms, he explained that the majority of the pack did live regularly in the house. They had family houses throughout the town, where their parents or human family lives.  The ‘backyard’ stretched for miles, broken neatly into different sections. There was a giant swimming pool surrounded by chairs and a small brick fire pit. The other section looked like some kind of platform or stage, Jax explained that it was used for hands-on training. He said the small building to the side of the training platform was a weapon training room.  “What are you training for?” I asked; confused why it was basically a mini boot camp.  Jax shrugged. “I guess anything and everything. Most of the time we live in peace but there are rogue wolves and vampires.” 

The smell of bacon cooking awoke me.  Groaning, I got out of bed unhappy about how fast morning had come. I threw on an oversized t-shirt and made my way to the kitchen. “Goodmorning!” Meghan greeted me, cheerfully. She patted the seat next to her. “I hope you’re hungry.”My stomach grumbled loudly almost as if responding to her. I gave a smile in return and started eating. “Hey are you going to work today?” I asked, trying to be nonchalantly. She nodded in return. “Do you think you can drop me off at Sabine’s shop when you go?” I kept my eyes on the plate of my food. “I don’t think she’s back in town yet.” Meghan

We made it home with the collection of books. Jax had them brought directly to his room so we could start going through them. Meghan dropped us off and turned around to go work a shift at the diner.   As we started to sort the books on the giant table, someone on the staff brought us a huge tray of food. A mixture of fruit and sandwiches.  “I hate that” I said quietly, as soon as they left.  “Hate what?” Jax asked.  “That you have people just waiting on you. It’s awkward.” I sat down on Jax’s bed, throwing the dirty jacket on the floor.  “I wouldn’t know the difference. If it makes you feel better, they are paid. And they’re free to leave whenever they want. Most view it as an honor to work
