ВойтиI am finally getting engrossed in the movie when I hear my door opening and Brandon walks in. His shirt is open, his chest damp with sweat, grit, sand and some blood. His eyes are still flashing wolf.Desmond straightens in bed. “It took you a while to get back.”“We were on the hunt all night Desmond, and We couldn’t find her,” Brandon says flatly. “We picked up her scent by Shark Fin gates but lost it again.”Shawn mutters, “Slippery bitch and cunning too apparently .”I sit up in bed, my heart racing. “So it was her we saw earlier?” Brandon’s jaw tightens before he answers. “I think it very well may be. But she would not attempt to enter an Alpha’s house uninvited.”Brandon runs his fingers through his hair. “I need a warm bath.” He enters the bathroom and shuts the door, the sound of running water filling the quiet room.Shawn exhales, leaning into the headboard. “He seems wound so tight.”Desmond nods. “Yeah, he saw something today that he’s not ready to talk about. We
We all Fell silent after Shawns words, Amanda sits up in her chair, curling her legs under her. “They will not come close to us, right?”Desmond shakes his head. “They won’t try. Coming close to the Alpha’s home is suicide.”Shawn still doesn't relent though, Instead his eyes are focused on the window and he points . “Care to explain what that is ?” We all turn towards the window at once. A shadow of a wolf crosses over the opposite street, pausing under the streetlight for a moment. My stomach twists into knots as the lights illuminate auburn fur- just like Amelia’s!Amanda gasps. “Don’t tell me that is-”“I won’t be surprised,” Sandra whispers, clutching the arm of her chair tightly, Sighing “ They never give up unless they are banished or executed “. Desmond growls low, sounding angry. “Ladies, please stay calm. Even if it is her, she’s not crazy enough to try entering the Alpha’s house.”The auburn wolf lingers for a moment, watching the house . Then it runs off and dis
In the Morning I lay propped up on bed as Brandon paces up and down, he is on the edgy and tense.“Like I told you yesterday, there will be a full moon today. Noah should skip school. Don’t leave the house for anything. Sandra and Asher will spend the night here with you, and the extra guards will arrive later.”I sigh, rubbing the remaining sleep from my eyes. “Are you sure we’ll be safe?”He moves toward the bed quickly and presses a kiss to my forehead. “Yes. I’ll make sure of it. Just promise me you’ll all stay indoors.”“I promise, Brandon.” Sandra and Asher arrive in the afternoon and the house feels full . We watch the kids olay games all day using it as a medium to stay calm . Noah and Asher, worn out from playing the games all day, sleep off early, I tuck them into Noah’s bed and I leave their door ajar then Instep into Amanda’s room, where I find she and Sandra whispering.“Are they asleep?” Sandra asks softly.I grin. “Out like a light. Come on, ladies, the men ar
In the evening Dinner is a very quiet, somber affair. I know Gabe has probably informed the men already and they are just waiting for Noah to go to bed before the interrogation starts. I shiver, picking up my glass of water and taking a long sip. I catch Brandon’s eye briefly his face taut, and he stares at me for a moment before turning to Dawson and whispering something I can’t quite catch.Noah yawns and I slip out of my chair. “Come on, Noah, bedtime.” Relieved , I need to escape the oppressive atmosphere .He mumbles good night as we head up with Amanda in tow. Once he is asleep I head back down the stairs reluctantly as Amanda retires for the night. I find the men in the living room with a rom-com playing softly on the screen. Once I squeeze in between Desmond and Shawn, the movie is paused. The room is tense; they are all watching me, waiting patiently for me to speak. Brandon leans forward and fixes his eyes on me, his wolf barely restrained under the surface. Oohh,
I wake up with Karly on my mind. I don’t know why, but my instincts is telling me to send her a message, and I do just that. I reach for the phone on my bedside and send her a message from my anonymous Instagram account:“Hey Rabbit, I hope the hole is comfortable enough? Any new clues? If so, holla.”I place the phone back on the table and get out of bed. After a shower I don a long nude maxi dress and head to Noah. I find him wearing his jacket with Amanda tugging on his tie. I lean on his doorway smiling “Good morning, Mummy,” he says as I walk in closer to watch Amanda’s work.“Hey, honey.”“Morning, Boss,” Amanda says without taking her eyes off his tie.“Morning, dear. I think it looks perfect. Come on, let’s have some cereal before you both head out.” After dropping Noah off, we drive into the garage and find Amanda getting ready to leave with Bill, her guard. Gabe quickly descends and walks to her, leaning in to give her a quick kiss.I step out of the car slower, givi
In the evening after dinner I escort Noah to bed with Amanda. We sit with him until he sleeps off then I give him a kiss on his head as Amanda whispers,“They look so peaceful when they are sleeping,” and I laugh.“I concur…”We tiptoe out of his room and enter Amanda’s to have some little girl talk. As I settle in on the bed, I sight a new huge teddy bear dominating a corner.“Awww, this is so cute.” I get up and walk towards it, touching its paws.She laughs, settling it on the bed. “Gabe got it for me. In his words, to keep guard while I sleep.”I chuckle. “Sappy much?”She blushes. “I know, but I love it. I love him,” she whispers as she stares longingly at the teddy bear.I reach over and squeeze her hands, bringing her back to the present.“I am so happy for the both of you, Amanda. If anyone deserves to be happy, it’s you, and I am glad you found it with Gabe.” She fixes her gaze on me, eyes soft, nearly glassy with tears.“Thank you, Boss.” She leans over and gives me a brief
