Garrett hit the brake and then put out the car engine via the ignition. He retracted his hand back to the wheel, staying rigid with his head down. His hands continued gripping the wheel even after a few seconds since he put the car to a halt. And when his hands began tightening on the wheel, it proved he was going through an internal turmoil.
He knew it was another time again where he would get to see his mate. Another time where he would have to put up with her constant act of ignoring him. And that was the reason he wasn’t looking forward to seeing her. He somewhat dreaded it, not bothering even to think it through because there really wasn’t anything for him to think through.
He sighed, attempting to take the thought off his mind before looking up. And through the front view window of the vehicle, he could see the lighted building of the main quarters of the packhouse under the starry night. Through the window, he could also s
“Lia, get up,”I heard a slightly excited voice close to my ear, but I couldn’t even tell where it was coming from. However, my best guess would be that the voice belonged to Anya.‘What?’ I grumble wordlessly as I try to turn over on the bed so I could face up, but I was utterly exhausted even to perfect the attempt. Instead, I just stayed put with my body lying sideways. When I realized I hadn’t received a response from Anya since I supposed it was her telling me to wake up, I spoke, this time without the use of the link, “What?”“It’s me, Lia. Get up,”Now I was getting confused as to where the sound was coming from. Was it from my head or not? “Anya?” I say out loud, still trying to get a hang of myself.“Nope, it’s me, Monica,”‘It’s Monica,
“Stupid car. Who made this crap that can’t move any faster?” Garrett complained as he tried to increase the vehicle's speed, only to realize he had gotten to the point where he couldn’t. He looked annoyed, almost agitated too, with his sweaty face steaming like he had gotten himself in a fight not too long ago. The strands of his hair were making way to his eyes as the speed of the car had gotten to a range in which the wind passing through was blowing hard on his face. He was lucky he had left the main human territory already, or he would have been issued a ticket for passing the speed limit. But that wasn’t going to pass him by at the end of the day. ‘You might need to slow down a bit,’ the voice of Derek got into his head, but he tried to pay no attention to his wolf as he could sense the taunting that was laced around the words. Not until Derek said, ‘I wonder why you have to be on such speed so you can get to the packhouse in time,’
Why do I always have to walk in when people are having a conversation? Why do I keep getting myself in the middle of awkward situations like this? Not that this one was too awkward of a problem. I mean, it was just a brother and sister catching up or something. It was only uncomfortable because I decided to walk in when they were in the middle of it.I can’t tell if I should leave or stay. And being that both Garrett and Monica were staring right at me, I had no idea what to do. I should blame most of my attitude because I saw Garrett right there, with no proper way of knowing how I was supposed to feel about him. Guilt mostly overwhelmed me because I had realized already that I was tormenting him for nothing.Uncle was right; the effect of Garrett on me was only increasing after my failed attempt to fight through the so-called bond.“Hey, Lia, you’re here,” Monica speaks, saving us all from the u
There is something Monica wasn’t telling me... something she was trying to hide from me. Whatever it was had so much weight that she just couldn’t bring herself to say, which is fine by me.After the little time I had with her yesterday, I was able to find out a thing or two from her. One of which was that she had something against the stranger I found out to be Brix’s grandfather.It was a little strange when she reacted out of likely disgust after affirming the man’s identity to me. But she had tried to cover up all the same for her sudden irritation. Whatever issues she had against the man has now piqued my interest, adding that to the list of things I needed to conquer. Who knows, it might be a link to all of what I intend to find in this pack.Asides from her sudden snap about the stranger, I remember what she had been doing that also caught my interest. The constant stares she had given to t
The Green Woods pack should be the most secure. With everything I’ve learned about this pack before my arrival, it never has issues regarding security and the likes. And for sure, that has been evident since my arrival. But... what the hell was a fucking rogue doing here, for crying out loud? Don’t panic, I tell myself. I guess the main question should be how a rogue got in here in the first place. It’s complicated and undoubtedly unbelievable. Even if my eyes weren’t seeing well, the stench was all over the place to indicate what was not too far away from me. I was beginning to get disgusted by the protruding smell emanating from the brown wolf. Even though this should be the first time I encountered a rogue, the disgusting smell was enough to feel like it’s been the umpteenth time. Rogues were different from the original pack members when it came to scent, sanity, and demeanor. Rogues becom
A bright light hit my eyes so bad that I had to force myself to open them. I happen to realize it was the ray of the sun but with no idea how it managed to penetrate through the window to my face. What I do know is that it had disturbed one hell of a sleep.I stare up at the ceiling, trying to make out the outlines. There was something different about the way it looked, especially with the positioning of the light bulb overhead. It then took me back to the question of the sunray penetrating through to the room when I had the position of the bed in a way that prevented such. Or did I have the bed’s position changed already? I guess not.I sit up from the bed, pulling on the sheets from my chest as I take in the overflowing scent that was rampaging my nostrils. And that was when it hit me. This wasn’t my room!My first instinct is to look around because I literally have no idea how I got into a room that isn&rs
Once he shut the door behind him, he stood by beside the door outside. With his back against the wall, he closed his eyes as he attempted to think things through again, right from where he stopped before he heard her voice earlier. That silent groan filled with pain had been clear to him at that time and he had no choice but to rush in to check on her.He needed answers as to how she had gotten attacked but she hadn’t helped matters by not telling him what he wanted to hear. Why couldn’t she just tell him the truth about Kylie confronting her? He really couldn’t tell who she was trying to protect, whether it was him or his sister.There was no way he would suspect his sister having a hand in the rogue attack, but as Adaliah kept on bottling up her emotions, it made it hard for him to know what else she was keeping from him. Probably key information that he could use to find the actual culprit.At dawn,
I was sitting in my room with no hope of leaving anytime soon. And it’s because I’m still on the verge of recuperation. I needed to get back to full recovery before I could even think of going out. I have healed already. You couldn’t even see any scar on my body to indicate I had been brutally attacked some days back but my insides were entirely different. My internal system was screaming in pain and I think I might pass out anytime soon. I wonder what had been used against me to make me feel so much pain like this. The rate at which I was vulnerable was that I couldn’t even take a step without feeling hurt around my waist. It has been a really difficult two days for me. And more of a lonely one too. In the past, whenever I was down or bored, I always had Anya to cheer me up. But for two days now, I haven’t been in touch with her. She had completely zoned out of the space she had in my head, but I could still feel
