The Calling Chapter 21
Chapter 21HadleyLunch was amazing, I felt stuffed to the brim. Zylith complimented everything and burst into the kitchen to thank the staff, I followed trying to get her to lower her voice and I thanked and apologized after her.She was loud and confident everywhere she went. But people didn’t seem to have any problem with her. Eric patiently waited outside the kitchen for us and asked if we were ready to see Cain.After many flights of stairs, we come to double doors and Cain’s deep voice tells us to come in. Eric opens the doors and we enter what looked like a large office.There are shelves and couches lining the walls, with a large table with chairs all around in the middle. Cain was seated at his desk behind a laptop in the far back centre of the room. Behind him was a large window and a view of the grounds surrounding the house.Everything was set in dark colours of wood and metal, Alec comes over and introduces himself to Zylith before greeting me. Cain closes his laptop and
The Calling Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Hadley “Zylith you should sit.” I look up from my fiddling hands, I have decided to share this with her. I told complete strangers, all be it weird ones with secrets of their own. I should be able to share this with my best friend. “I am not sure how to start with this but, I hope you do not come to hate me afterwards.” I am still staring into her eyes waiting for reply. Zylith takes in a deep breath and sit down next to me again. She looks at me expectantly, “I am not like those assholes from your hometown.” She leans back in the couch and folds her arms waiting for me to begin. I give her the same details I did Alec and Cain before, Eric moved to close the door as soon as I began and is standing behind Alec now. I did not mind them knowing but having an audience did make me more nervous. Zylith sat completely still not moving or showing any emotion. It made telling my secret easier, after I finished Zylith kept still, as though waiting for more. “THAT’S IT?!” She sh
The Calling Chapter 23
Chapter 23HadleyI woke up the next morning rather early, the sun was barely out but I could not force myself to sleep anymore. I felt excited to finally start investigating and hopefully helping people here.I got dressed in comfortable but a little too tight sportswear and a puffy warm jacket. The sound of people talking outside catches my attention and I make my way to the window.Looking down I see Cain and a few other men talking, with Cain’s back to the house. They are semi-naked with only loose pants hanging dangerously low on the waist, giving a sensual view.This is the first view I have of Cain’s back. I never thought I was into this sort of thing but… you can tell he looks that way from hard work. The muscles on his back are chiselled to perfection and I see dark tattoo’s over his arm, it adds to the big bad Alpha look and I am completely enthralled.I am still engrossed in my admiration of the well-sculpted man when I feel hot breaths fanning the side of my neck. I shriek
The Calling Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Hadley I left the hall as quickly as I could, I needed fresh air. I felt suffocated in the hall, I was too scared to look up after Zyliths comment. The thought of Cain catching the conversation weighed heavy on my heart. I was afraid he would ask us to leave, saying he didn’t need my help anymore. I am not sure what I feared more, them not wanting my help anymore or not being able to see Cain. Zylith had been advocating the need for me to move on after the shit show that had been my first serious relationship and honestly I did not agree. I just wanted to finish my degree, start my career as an author and lock myself up in luxury till the day I die. Zylith shouted at me many times before that I was not the problem. He was a sick man, I know that but the impression had been a lasting one. I was a freak to him and all he wanted from me was the ability to brag to his stupid friends that he had taken the freak in town to bed. I feel bile rising at the thought of it all, I h
The Calling Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Hadley Eric and I arrived at the residence of the pack warrior who recently lost his mate during a rogue attack. “Sean,” Eric mentioned his name was. I heard the call the closer we drew to the house. I jumped from the car as soon as we came to a halt and strut up to the front door. I knocked and waited impatiently rocking back and forth on my heels. There was no reply. I knocked again, only to be met with silence. I felt nervous, I needed to get in there. Eric as if sensing my need pushed past me and slammed his fisted hand hard on the door. Still, nothing. “We need to get in there, something is not right.” Eric nodded his head in agreement, his lips pressed in a thin line. Eric moves back a little before ramming the side of his large frame into the door, the door bursts clear off its hinges clearing our way in. I follow Eric into the home, when Eric stops to take out his phone. He looked at the screen before looking up at me, ”It’s Kaleb, they might have found some
The Calling Chapter 26
Chapter 26 Hadley “I don’t want to be alone.” The words shocked me, it was the truth, I was scared and being alone right now made the fear in me grow. But then why would I ask him to stay? Was it because Zylith was not here, or is some part of my unconscious mind pulling me to him. He has proved my saviour in the past and again today, but did I maybe want more. Maybe I wanted to explore an aspect of life I had been avoiding. I looked up, my eyes met Cain’s and they were pitch black, staring right at me. A low rumble of approval coming from his chest. I was unsure of what to do next and Cain, as if sensing my uncertainty starts to remove his clothes. My face blushed when he moved to unbuckle his belt, his pants falling to the floor in a heap. Cain is in only his underwear, steam from the shower fills the room and he looks like he just stepped out of a photo shoot. Broad shoulders, big arms, his torso hard and rigid with muscles. The view of his tanned skin and dark tattoo makes m
The Calling Chapter 27
Chapter 27 Hadley A deep sigh leaves Cain’s delicious-looking lips and I avert my gaze hoping no one caught me gawking, “Hello Erica,” he walks over giving her a side hug and a kiss on the cheek. “I did not expect you back so soon.” “Well, yes but when I heard the news…I just had to see it for myself.” Erica looks at me while speaking and I feel there is a hidden meaning behind it. “I am so happy for you my dear,” Erica speaks to Cain and cups his cheek while she gives him a warm smile. My chest constricts painfully, I am reminded that this is the kind of love and care I never had and probably never will. Yet another thing they have that I do not, and I wish to help them? A cold smirk forms on my face, I have been deceiving myself by insisting I help them, when they so clearly do not need my help. Big strong people that change into big strong wolves, who have happy functional relationships and families. Zylith is right I am deluding myself with thoughts of grandeur. Any thoughts
The Calling Chapter 28
Chapter 28 Cain After Eric abruptly ended the call, anxiety hits me and I knew I needed to find Hadley, my wolf paced my mind and would not have let up until we had seen her ourselves. When I saw Hadley on that bathroom floor covered in blood my heart nearly stopped, I thought that after all this waiting, I had found her only to lose her again. Seeing how pale she looked I swept her up and took her to my home, I did not want to return to the packhouse and possibly have to share her with Zylith, or anyone else for that matter. She was lost in thought the entire ride over, only snapping out of it when I started removing her bloodied jacket. My wolf and I needed to take care of her, to calm our own rapidly spiralling thoughts, but seeing her shocked expression made me realize I may have overstepped the line. I was about to leave when she grabbed my shirt, she looked just as shocked by the action as I was. My excitement at her action was quickly doused by the ‘sorry’ that left her lip
