11. Realisation

My entire body shakes violently as I hunch over and puke, while a mass of images, memories, and feelings flood my body.John rushes to my aid, giving me a bowl that was placed in my room just in case I felt sick from the concussion. Patting my back softly, he tries to whisper soothing words, none of them I’m even able to comprehend.My body is overwhelmed by everything rushing in on me. Everything I wasn’t able to understand in the last day now comes to a sense.Every single moment of the last five years fills my mind. Again, I claw at my throat as I feel water fill my lungs, and I’m unable to breathe. My eyes bulge, and in horror, I look up at John right in front of me, my eyes desperately pleading him for help. I’m drowning, while every inch of my body hurts the in the worst way.“Shhhhh…..It will soon be over," I can now hear him whisper soothingly. “You’re going to be fine.”Images of me in the dungeon flash through my mind, and it feels like my bones are breaking all over again.

12. Step one

Being alone in our room with him freezes me on the spot. Every word said, every action, everything that has just happened shoots to my mind, making it impossible to think about anything but these things.Drakes arms wrap tightly around me from behind, and instantly, I tense at his action. My wolf wants to push him away, but I hold her back. “Are you ok, Amelia?” he asks while placing a soft kiss on my shoulder and another on top of my head.The fact that he hasn’t shredded me to pieces yet proves John’s words to be right, Drake hasn’t heard a thing, despite noticed anything. If he has, then he’s extraordinary in acting. Which, let’s face it, he really is. I mean, all of these years I believed in his love, believed in every single word he said. There was no hint of his lies whatsoever.“Amelia?” He speaks up again now with a little concern in his voice. Get your act together, girl. Don't let him feel it. You can make this. Be as good as he is in acting, I tell myself, little convinced

13. Bathtub

Luckily, Drake was called out to an emergency pack duty, shortly after the bedroom encounter last night, and hasn’t been back since. He says someone is trying to attack the border constantly at the moment.My hopes go up that it might be the Blood-moon pack.If Drake had stayed much longer in the bedroom last night, I’m not sure how long I could have held the acting up.All night, I tossed and turned in my bed. My mind is still trying to wrap around all of the events and how to deal with it best, especially my emotions. Keeping everything inside of me without going wild like a rogue and killing anyone passing my way seems to be a real task. If I was able to shift right now, I’m not sure I could have held back at all the moment when everything came back to me. She's there. It’s an on and off, but I can’t feel anything even close to being able to shift. Just her thoughts and emotions, and there’s an incredible power on and off. Even if I tried to avoid going anywhere near the pack, an

14. Gravelled path

My bail is rising, and my wolf is growling deep inside. I need to focus on not letting anything slip.“We’re taking her to the healer," Jenny replies self-confident instead of me.“And who gave you the permission to speak up?” Alana lashes out, eyeing Jenny up and down. Has she always been this bitchy? Was I too blind to even notice this?Jenny cocks her head up, and I can see she’s about to retort but before she can get herself into any more trouble, I jump in.“They’re escorting me to the healer. He wanted me to come to the praxis today for an x-ray and further check-ups.” I tell her truthfully and just wish for her to disappear already."Can we kill her?" My wolf nearly pleads, and I have to tell her inwardly to stop wanting to kill people. She seems very blood firsty.“Then why wasn’t I informed? And why are they escorting you instead of me or one of the others?” It used to only be Alana, James, and me. It didn’t occur to me that she could mistrust this situation.“There were some

15. Protection

My eyes widen at the sight in front of me, while I slowly pace through the kitchen to the seat, which has been offered to me. The familiar face hasn’t changed the slightest to what my memory has in store.The exact same facial features, not a day younger or older. How is that even possible? I mean there’s five years between my memory and now.“Tea?” A soft melodic voice asks.Still too astounded to speak, I nod my head as a response. A beautiful tea pot, painted with flowers of all kinds, gets lifted to a cup with the exact same pattern on it. The hot steam coming up has an amazing scent. Closing my eyes just for a moment, I take in the sweet scent of jasmine paired with oranges. What a perfect mixture.I might imagine it, but I feel like my smelling ability is hightened too.Opening my eyes again, I see that warm, caring smile again. “It’s supposed to heal and soothe the senses. Tea and scents have an extraordinary effect on our body, which most people don’t even know to appreciate.”

16. Returning

“So what did the healer say?” Jenny asks and seems very chirpy right now.“Jenny," Freddie says in a warning tone. “That’s not something you ask your Luna," he scolds.To be honest, if Jenny hadn’t just mentioned John the healer, I wouldn’t have even thought about that being the reason I was officially there for. Jenny’s eyes dim a little as I don’t answer immediately.“Worse than just a flu?” She now asks cautiously and a lot less happy than only a moment ago.I try to recall the words John gave me while he guided me towards the kitchen. It’s the same he’s going to give Drake.“No, everything is ok. It's just a normal flu, I just need some rest. Seems like I’m not even immune to that.” I roll my eyes, trying to underline my words while distracting from the truth.Which makes me wonder. Both Jenny and Freddie seemed very familiar with John, and my thoughts go back to Sybil. No one knows, he said. That must include these two, too. How can they be so familiar, know his home, and yet hav

17. Claws

Drake paces up and down the main room of the packhouse. It looks like he’s barely containing himself. The mighty and muscle packed body of his makes the huge room look tiny and way too tight right now. I can watch each and every strained muscle flex on his body as he makes the room his own.His nostrils flare as soon as I enter the room, with burning anger, his eyes bore into mine. An anger I’ve seen way too many times around others, but never directed at me. Not even in the night he killed me. It feels like the air has been sucked out of the room.My mind keeps on replaying the night he killed, reminding me that this in front of me isn’t the mate I thought I had. If he was, I might feel bad right now, but I don’t. Do I fear him? A clear yes. Will it stop me? Most definitely not."We're strong," I hear in my head.As his steps take him towards me, I try to prepare myself for what’s to come by taking in a deep breath and closing my eyes. The second his angry voice booms through the ro

18. Apologies

The cage around me grows smaller and smaller, the longer I stare at the walls, ceiling, even the furniture I once chose and loved, seem to cramp the room even more right now, suffocating me. Feeling the pain in my leg just adds up to it. Drake has a huge temper, just as every Alpha or, to be precise, most werewolves have an issue with temper. But besides of the night that Drake killed me cold-blooded, he’s never ever physically harmed me. This is a new.Why did I think I had time to work this plan out? It seemed like I had five years to escape his cruelty. Does he realize and sense what’s going on? Losing my composure, something I never do, sure must have spiked something in him. Have I busted myself with that action?Longingly, my eyes dart out of the window to the woods. There’s this overwhelming draw there again. The fear of the woods lifting more and more from me like an early morning fog clearing up to a warm, sunny morning. Then my eyes zero in on the bulky frame coming from th

19. Hummingbird

As early dawn breaks through the window, the hustle and bustle are already everywhere to be heard. It seems the entire pack is already up and out there, preparations running in all directions. On one hand, to welcome the guests, on the other, running all precautions possible for a possible attack or anyone entering who's not supposed to be here, which is a huge task, seeing as there are many strangers out there today.Today, the heads of twelve packs will be meeting on this ground. Some of them counted as friends, some simply allies, others as neutral or maybe even a threat. A few members from each pack will be on our grounds, too, to protect their Alphas if needed. Again, I have been the head of many plans for today, but as usual I’m left on the outside. After the late events, even more so. Today, they won’t even get to see my face from afar.It’s all about the money and power today. What once also seemed important to me, not so much for the sake of money, but for the sake of stabili

20. Following

Staring at the hummingbird, I try to make sense out of this. Is this the sign from the note?How can the door simply open and the guards not react because of a hummingbird?I try to see if my wolf feels alerted, but she still stays silent.It keeps on flying back and forth. Circling my room, coming towards me, and then flying out of the door, just to return seconds later, repeating it’s actions. It’s as if it wants me to follow.As I was going to spend the entire day in my bedroom with closed windows, I simply got changed into a pair of light blue shorts and a white tank top. So I wonder whether to get changed before I follow? But by the way the hummingbird flies in and out of this room, it seems in a hurry, and I don’t know how big my time slot is. If there’s such a thing at all. Maybe it’s all just a trick.I guess I’ll need to find out. After quickly slipping on some trainers, I start limping out of the door, following the tiny hummingbird. Looking left and right. Directly beside m
