Chapter 31: Exploratory Notions of the Heart

They didn't just run to the lake, they both needed something more than a warm up after everything that happened, so instead they raced the boundary.Unlike other packs, the Northeastern pack was a relatively small territory and unlike humans, shifters had way more stamina. They were stronger and could go for longer, it took a lot more to tire them out. Still, a lap around the boundary line was nothing to scoff at. They might've cheated a little, running about only 3/4 ths of it until they got to the lake, but a mini marathon would wipe anybody out, even them. "Ha! And the winner arrives! Are you getting slower?" teased Logan, beating her by just a hare's breath. "Savor the win, because next time you're eating my dust." Both of them were red in the face, panting, and sweating from straining their muscles and pushing themselves but it was a good strain, a good tired. Jamie shrugged off her leather jacket, she would've taken it off earlier, but she didn't want to risk losing it somew

Chapter 32: It's Not Juicing, but it Sure is Something

Whatever time they ran last time, they cut it in half getting back to the campsite. All of the pack was hovering around as Peter and Andy had Matt on a medical stretcher, the pair rushing him into the med bay. "Alright, Lucille, Gary, tell me what happened. Everyone else, no crowding. Go back to what we were doing before. Andy will make sure Matt gets the best care possible so let's not stress him out, okay?" Logan was quick to take control, and, in a few minutes, the grounds had cleared out, going back to whatever they were doing. Jamie saw Valerie speed walking over to her but before she could ask for an explanation, her wrist was snagged and she was dragged all the way back to their cabin, the door being closed, Valerie whirling around with a wild look in her eyes. "That look does not spark joy." "I'm not really feeling joyful right now either." Valerie started to pace, obviously a ball of frazzled nerves. "Okay, okay so you know how I said I would keep an eye on Andy for you?"

Chapter 33: Stick it to Him

Valerie holed herself up in the bathroom when night came and the time to call her parents was optimum. Best to do it when the rest of the pack was asleep and would probably just think it was work calling instead of Valerie. Jamie put herself in the farthest corner of the cabin to give her some privacy, but the crying and reverent whispers made her heart and her teeth ache. This is what Andy and his parents stole from people. Stole from them. This is why she couldn't just stop and leave it alone. People got hurt, people were being hurt, and he wasn't stopping. So they had to be the ones to stop him. When Valerie came out, her eyes were puffy from a day filled with crying, but Jamie didn't point it out. Together they huddled in the bathroom while Jamie called her parents and gave them the lowdown about everything that happened, and the next lead she needed them to follow. "Your parents are good people," Valerie told her after the call ended. "Not a lot of packs would stick up for us

Chapter 34: Fun Sized Fury

It was do or die, but at this point, Jamie would really like to just die and get it over with. The cop shows made it look so easy. Criminal investigations, find the proof, bag and tag the bad guy, happily ever after. Except this was taking longer than a series special, their criminal dosed her with something that just might kill her, and Jamie wasn't exactly happy she was losing more sleep over the guy. Her and Valerie had waited till nightfall to sneak out of their cabin and into the woods, Valerie leading. A few twists and turns, a good mile or so out, and they were by a small creek with a large tree that had a spot near the base scraped out for a hidey hole. "I used to come out here, listen to the water, curl up and hide when everything got too tough. No one could hear me cry so…yeah," finished Valerie lamely. "Alright," said Jamie, not pointing anything out. "So how should we do this?" "Well, after you shift, you'll either turn back like Matt did or…" "Or what?" "Or you mig

Chapter 35: Like my Coffee, Bitter

Jamie woke up with a headache and groaned into her pillow. "Emotional distress, painful realization?" asked Valerie as she readied herself for the day, yawning tiredly. "Headache.""Ah, yep, sounds about right." "How dare you not warn me." "Hey, could be a migraine," shrugged Valerie. "Don't jinx me." Yeah, a migraine on top of everything else, that was the last thing Jamie needed. "Think of it as punishment for making me watch you do what amounted to a coin flip of seizure or shifted form for an hour." "I…alright that's fair." It was kind of mean to make her go through that, but who else was she gonna trust to at least attempt to make sure she didn't die? ANDY? If she trusted him to care about her health, they wouldn't even be doing this investigation to begin with. Ah, good old paranoia. Working since she was five and knew Santa was breaking and entering. Killed a bit of the Christmas magic but hey, at least her dad didn't put her on the Naughty List for hitting him with a

Chapter 36: Letting it Go? Let's Go!

Jamie didn't get her nap. It wasn't even an hour later that someone was knocking on the door, Valerie huffing as she threw on a sweater and answered it since Jamie didn't move from the bed. "Andy! What's up?" She did almost fall out of bed though from that. What was going on? "Oh, I came to get your permission to draw some blood from Jamie," smiled Andy. Valerie and Jamie felt their breath catch. Not good. "What for?" Valerie asked carefully. "For a blood donation. Jamie's the only one who's blood type fits, AB negative." "Blood donation for who?" asked Jamie, trying to sound like she was only curious and not freaking out. "Ballie Batson." Jamie's breath caught. Either Andy was more of an evil genius than she realized, or he really did need that blood. Ballie Baston, who's twin was Hallie Batson, the twins of the Central pack who were shoo ins for the future alpha, who Jamie KNEW shared her blood type. This was a lose lose situation no matter how it played out, and Jamie had

Chapter 37: Heart Over Mind Over Matter

Jamie didn't die of blood loss, but Logan's joke about her being death now had merit. She certainly felt like death. It was a lot like being sick, only you knew someone did it to you on purpose, unlike accidentally getting the flu, so not only did you feel like crap, you were also furious. So, Jamie was not only forced to stay in bed drinking cranberry juice and sipping canned chicken noodle soup in a mug, she wasn't even allowed to be up to punch the jerk who did this to her. Valerie thought she was stupid for going through with it when they knew Andy was most likely lying, but Hallie and Ballie, while Jamie had never been in a pack with them, were still her friends, not to mention good people. They'd do the same for her if she was injured and potentially dying. She could also have her dad ask how much blood they needed. It would be less of a win and more of a consolation prize to know if he was using her blood for experiments or not but just more evidence to add to the pile. He

Chapter 38: Gate Crasher Date Crasher

It only took Jamie a few days to get over the blood loss. It would take far more time for Valerie to get over her getting a date. "Girl, this is fantastic, but also like, what the hell? We haven't even captured Andy and—Ah! But I can't believe Logan asked you out!" she squealed. "Say it louder. The rest of the pack hasn't heard you yet," deadpanned Jamie. "Sorry, I'm happy for you, I am, but like…Andy," she grimaced, like it was a curse to speak his name. As if it was enough to understand and it was. "I know," groaned Jamie. "I shouldn't have done it and it'll probably bite me in the *ss later but…" "Ah, the trouble with being in love," sighed Valerie. "It makes you stupid." "Yeah, I feel a whole lot more than stupid right now," breathed Jamie, going to rub her eyes before Valerie smacked her hands down. "Don't you dare! It took me two hours to convince you into that make up. If you ruin it, I'll kill you." "Alright, geez, you're starting to sound like Sarah." "She sounds like

Chapter 39: Make What? Make Up?

"Aw crap," groaned Valerie as Jamie stormed back into the cabin, looking none too happy. "Please tell me this isn't a pillow situation." "Andy crashed my date." "That b*tch!" Valerie was instantly angry, and it made Jamie feel a bit better, but she sighed, letting her head thunk against the back of the door. "I knew this would have consequences but not this fast. At least he got hit with a tuna jelly sandwich." "I'm sorry, a f*ck*ng what sandwich? You sure this wasn't a murder attempt on Logan's part?" "Daniella helped with the picnic apparently." "Ah. Yep, that would do it. Still, I can't believe Andy's gate keeping Logan like you're some homewrecker though." Jamie snorted at that before shaking her head. "To be fair, I kinda am a homewrecker, for him at least. Gonna wreck this man's life—and his face." "…he's targeting you." Jamie nodded silently. It was all just happenstance before but now it was reoccurring. Whatever the reason he was targeting her, because she was suspi

Chapter 40: Help Is On It's Way

Jamie walked back into her cabin, Valerie waiting for her. She didn't say anything, just watched silently as Jamie picked up a pillow and screamed into it. "Oh-oh! That was not an angry distressed scream!" squealed Valerie. "We're dating," said Jamie, lifting her head only for a moment before going back to screaming in the pillow. Jamie was dating someone; she was DATING someone. Oh god, her father could never know.She was never interested in anyone before so there hadn't been a problem, but her father would try and intimidate Logan, give him the shovel talk and all that. Scratch that, he would try and fight Logan and Jamie was good, but her father was better. It was something she always envied. Jamie would like her boyfriend ALIVE though. "Yes! New relationship! You're getting red—oooh~! That means something!" cheered Valerie, almost more excited for this than Jamie was. "It means you're being embarrassing." Flush Jamie, looking away. "That just means something happened that y
