All Chapters of Luna's Uprising : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

There is a huge open space between the rear side of the packhouse and the woods. The late sun is still bright enough to lighten up the entire place. No house, no trees, nothing as protection to hide behind. Just open fields filled with beautiful wild flowers and knee-high grass. It is a beautiful sight but the worst thing imaginable for our current situation. “Let me down,” I yell at Jax, feeling panic rising, my heartbeat increasing by the second. But he keeps running in the direction of the woods, totally ignoring my request. Only moments later, another wolf appears at our side, one I don’t recognise. It’s a fairly tall wolf with dark brown fur. There’s no escaping from Drake, I think to myself, filled with bitterness. More wolves will be here any moment, and I prepare myself for the wolf to attack Jax, but it doesn’t. Instead, it falls into pace with Jax, running only about five feet next to us, heading direction woods.“I told you to keep them distracted,” Jax scolds angrily. “D

The taste of mud fills my mouth. I’m coughing from aspirating mud, and whatever else is lying on the ground. It’s cold and damp, but my entire body feels like it’s burning up. My heart is racing so bad I can hear the thumbing in my ears. My mind seems fuzzy, and I try to make out my surroundings, but my vision still seems blurry. I try to grip on to something in front of me to get myself up, a tree or something like it, I can’t exactly tell. The pain is ripping through my entire body, but I know I can’t stay here. Trying to push myself up further only results in me slipping on wet leaves on the ground, banging my head against something. Again, I find myself crashing down. Pain and burning intensifying by the moment, I try to breathe through it.But no matter how hard I try, my vision keeps on blurring up or going black, and my body is unable to move. I feel myself starting to shiver, from the cold ground beneath me, mud covering my skin, the little clothes I had on are torn from the

I’m left back in confusion. Once Trevor has left the room, too, I’m left totally alone again with my thoughts and questions lingering on my mind. Every time one question gets answered, the next ten seem to pile up.My eyes dart around the room. It seems very spacious and luxurious for a hospital. It has to be a private room by the looks of it. On the side table and windowsill, I see loads of bunches of flowers in various kinds, their sweet scent filling the air. Counting them it makes up to fourteen. Are they from Jax? Did he bring me flowers every single day?There are so many unanswered questions on my mind right now. I wish he hadn’t just stormed off and at least given me answers to some of the most recent questions. Like what happened that night? How did he get out? What about Drake? And I’ve not seen Jenny or Freddie here. Are they ok?Hours pass without a single word from either Jax or Alex. I try to sleep but feel restless at not knowing or understanding what’s going on. Jax jus

It doesn’t take long until I hear howling coming from different directions. Even if I’m not part of this pack, I can tell it’s a stress call. There’s no doubt it’s because of me running out. My mind goes back to the look on Tonya’s and Ben’s face the moment I left. The way they were taken aback. It surprises me that they’re not right behind me already.Admitted, I do feel sorry for them, knowing that they’re going to get into huge trouble as soon as Jax gets to them. Their orders were clear to keep me safe and stay at my side at all times. If they had tried to hold me back, I wouldn’t have stood a chance against their strength.There’s this nerve-wracking ringing in my head, as if someone is trying to get inside, but I ignore it. The first wolves on the streets seem to start to recognise me, even if I’ve never seen any of them before. Surely Jax has sent out an image of me over the mind link. Now I wish I was on normal pack grounds not in a city, full of people, with so many pairs of

Lying in my bed, I let my thoughts drift to everything that happened yesterday. My fingers start tracing my still slightly swollen lips. It’s as if I can still feel his lips lingering on mine. I never knew a kiss could feel so perfect, so magical, so intense, so addicting. He left me hungry for way more. And then he said the most perfect things.Mates are destined to be together. Never ever would I have questioned it, or even thought to long for more. He already is my world without me really knowing him. Getting to know him will only be the icing on top. Just the thought of him, respecting my individuality, and wanting me to be able to choose makes him the most amazing personality I have met so far.My body is on edge, aching for him every single time I think about how he had me up against the wall.“Can you please think about something else? We all know you have an amazing mate, and we can sense just how horny you are,” Ben groans in front of the door. “You do know those pheromones a
