All Chapters of Wolfsbane - Finding The Wolf Within : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Although said in utter adoration the word held nothing but fear and darkness for the frazzled redhead. Instead of Aiden’s deep voice, she heard a different man altogether. Except this man did not say the word in reverence instead he said it sinisterly covetous manner. The word bounced around her head like a piece of shrapnel as her world imploded all around her all over again. Her heart stuttered and nearly stopped when her mind was sent reeling back to that harrowing night. The face of her tormentor flashed behind her closed eyelids and sent her into a near state of panic. The hysteria flashed from her and into Aiden through their bond and had him lurching from her body in his own panic as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice-cold water. In his haste to back away from her trembling form he all but topples off of the bed. And lost in her terror Alexa thrashed around on the bed to loosen her legs from the bed sheets. “What? What is it?” he questioned, seeking the great terribl

Home, what a strange and unfamiliar concept to one who had been without one for so long. What was it that made a place a home? Was it the place itself or the people that lived there? Going back home was one of the many surreal moments that the redheaded teenager experienced in such a short amount of time, almost as if she were in a dream. It had been ages since she had left the beautiful house behind for what was supposed to be a fun family trip. Now instead of the unburdened teenage girl who believed her life complete another had taken her place. As she got ready to return to a home she had long since left behind, she returned as a different person where everything around and within her had changed. Alexa had been irrevocably changed and there was nothing she could do about it. The helplessness she felt as the world as she knew it warped into something unrecognizable left a bitter taste in her mouth and a feeling of dread in her heart. No longer was she the strong, carefree human

The absolute glee that fluttered within his undead stomach and was sickly sweet and he savored it with everything he had. Oh, what fun it was to watch the panic and anger settle on that mutt’s face. His own resentment had flooded through his ice-cold veins and his predatory instincts practically begged him to tear the mutt limb from limb. The wound on his shoulder from when that mutt had attempted to rip his head from his shoulders throbbed agonizingly. He had, of course, failed in that attempt and it was a failure this newborn would ensure he regretted. A painful reminder of his human weakness which only caused his acidic venom to drip sinisterly from his fangs. To have such a wound permanently marring his once-perfect skin only served to add fuel to the flames of his malicious anger. That mutt would pay, he’d make sure of that. Turning his ruby gaze from the retreating obsidian he thought back to the exact moment his prey had realized she was being hunted. He could relish in the f

The final gusts of crisp winter as early spring settled over the earth like a warm blanket still clutched at her shivering form as she trembled her way down the rickety and root-filled pathway. She was in no way, shape, or form made to traverse in almost pitch-black darkness in nature’s corridor created by the eerily bony and towering shapes she supposed were once trees. She pondered on how beautiful it must be in the summer when the bare branches were covered with luscious green leaves, but for now, those densely packed branches were as naked as the day she was born. Even without any covering whatsoever, those spine-chilling limbs allowed not a single drop of light to enter and that in itself was a danger to someone as clumsy as she. The stillness of the air was almost as eerie as the surroundings themselves. Alexa warily glanced up as her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she could practically see their bony hands reach out with rough willowy fingers. And if she closed her eyes,

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Spring bloomed, chasing away the winter chill, Summer burned hot that year until finally autumn leaves began to fall and the wind turned cold once more. It was funny how quickly Alexa became accustomed to living among the pack. No longer did she feel out of place as if she stuck out like a sore thumb. Eventually, many of the pack members warmed up to her presence and began accepting her not only as Aiden’s mate but as their future Alpha too. Her only problem being her unwanted run-ins with Vanessa, who was dead set on causing her as much grief as possible. Still opposed to both ideas she had learned to keep her thoughts to herself as many of the wolves couldn’t understand her opposition having been raised in pack life where all this was just another ordinary day to them. Even the few humans who had not been raised within the pack and who had had time to acclimate didn’t understand her firm stand against being labeled Aiden’s mate
