As the others left, Ronnie stared up at Erick with big and terrified eyes. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. Erick was going to war with Jonathan, and they were leaving tomorrow. Her heart was shattering within her chest. My body no longer felt like her own and she just wanted to crawl into bed and cry her eyes out.She’s been fairly quiet up until that moment; finally standing up to her mother took a lot out of her. It was one of the hardest things she’s ever had to do. Watching her mother go into custody and get arrested was the hardest thing she’s ever had to watch; but she knew it was the best thing that could happen.Right now, what she needed was to be with her boyfriend and be enclosed in his arms; but he just agreed to leave tomorrow to an uncertain death. She felt as though her world was closing in around her and all of a sudden there wasn’t any air left for her to breathe.“I know it’s a lot,” he said to her softly as tears fell from her eyes. “But I need to do thi
It’s been a couple of months since Jonathan and Erick left for war. The war hasn’t made Its way back to this side of the county, so I was hoping that meant whatever they were doing was working. However, I also haven’t heard from either of them, which worried me immensely.However, Jess had heard from Jonathan last month and he told her that both he and Erick were still alive and fighting their souls out. He even took a couple of Benjamin’s speeches and recited them to a few territory packs, and they ended up converting and joining the side of Jonathan.Jess didn’t seem too worried about him; she knew this was his destiny and that he was going to be a great Overseer. Despite her recent worries on the matter. I tried not to worry too much as I continued staying at home with Ronnie and caring for Emee.Ronnie wasn’t doing as well; she had lost a drastic amount of weight because she didn’t want to eat or transition into a wolf and go hunting. Most of the time she would just lie in bed and
Jessica’s wedding was fast approaching. As time went on, I was growing even more apprehensive. My last encounter with Greggory seemed a bit off. When I knew him back in Moon-Valley, when I went to the art school, he was always flirting. I didn’t mind him though; we had a fairly good relationship considering he was the Alpha.Not much we can do about how Alphas behave; Rock is living proof of that. But I never had an issue with Greggory. He was a really good leader and people around him respected him. He also befriended Jonathan when Jonathan used to visit me at school. Greggory became really good friends to a point where Jonathan would consider him as a best friend.They would go to parties together and hang out as a group with Anderson and Erick, amongst some others of Greggory’s friends from Moon-Valley.Jess looked up to Greggory as well; he was about 5 years older than us and one of the youngest Alpha’s known. His father passed away at an early age from a fast-moving and rare disea
Jonathan and Erick successfully eliminated the war, just as I knew they would. They came back to us with only minor scrapes and bruises, but nothing too serious. Packs agreed that they didn’t want to destroy all the other packs just because of greed and they all went back to their territories to resume their lives and rebuild their nations. Jonathan and Erick were able to return home and Ronnie and me.I had to tell Jonathan how I felt about Greggory, once we returned home, and he agreed that it sounded suspicious. As good of friends as he was with Greggory, he wasn’t trusting him much lately. He said that Greggory has changed and has been more concerned about power than anything. Therefore, Jonathan doesn’t talk to him as much anymore.He also told me how he saw Greggory and Rachel having sex, through the Overseer link, and it didn’t look as though their marriage was ending any time soon. He found it weird that they were suddenly separated, and he was marrying Jessica.“Do you think t
Rock’s underground bunker was hidden underneath the Grey Howler Station of Ironclaw. The chief claims he had no idea it was there. Jonathan had yet to use his newfound abilities to see if that were true or not; his main concern was getting the women out of the bunker.The doorway was outside hidden in the station’s yard. He wasn’t sure what to expect when he entered the bunker, but the smell of rancid body odor and dirty baby diapers hit him hard as soon as he walked inside. There were multiple rooms with large glass windows, making it easy to look inside.Each room was occupied by a different woman; the rooms all had hospital beds and some hospital equipment. It looked like a mini-hospital underground. The women looked exhausted and terrified; some were crying and shaking, others looked stone-cold and mono-faced. He could hear the faint crying of babies in some of the rooms, but in other rooms, it looked as though the women were still pregnant.Dr. Emily wasn’t down there at the time
For a long time, Nikini thought the worst of Emlin. Her heart had been shattered by someone she loved dearly. She was even willing to give up her pending marriage to be with her; despite society being against same-sex relationships.Her marriage to Boris was arranged by both their families. Her parents were all about power and money; they were greedy wolves and love was never a factor to them. As a young teenager, Nikini was told that she was to marry a rich Alpha and reside in a manor her entire life. That wasn’t something she cared about at first, but as time went on, her mother began digging her way through her brain and it ended up being the only thing she ever knew.They introduced her to Boris when she was 16 years old, and she had to admit that she was attracted to him when it came to his looks. But his personality was dull; he was a typical rich kid that never had to work for a dime in his life. Nikini couldn’t really hate him for that though because she also never had to work
“I hated her…” Nikini finished explaining the story of how my mother broke her heart.She said she didn’t find out until years later what Boris had done. When my mother showed up on their doorstep with me, she wanted to explain herself to Nikini. She begged to speak to Nikini, but she refused to see my mother. She asked for Boris’ help in protecting both herself and me because of the abuse was starting to see in Rock.I had no idea the physical abuse happened before he became Alpha. But my mother was so unhappy and needed to get out. He allowed my mother to stay in the guest bedroom for a few days so she can gather her thoughts and figure out her next move. He told her that with her permission, he will take care of Rock. So, she permitted him and tried to keep a low profile while residing at the manor.Boris, however, did nothing.He was supposed to. But he was a selfish prick and chose not to.My mother didn’t know that though; while she stayed at the manor, she did a lot of paintings
There was definitely an outsider lurking around our house, we just couldn’t tell who it was. It was a scent that was unfamiliar and by the time we returned home, they were gone. Jonathan patrolled the surrounding area just to make sure they were actually gone.My first thought was Greggory, considering he’s been acting so weird lately. But it wasn’t his scent; unless he sent someone to spy on us as Rock had.Thankfully, Emee was sound asleep in her crib; untouched and unharmed. Part of me wanted to wake her up and keep her close to me but Jonathan insisted that I let her sleep and that no one was going to come around with them nearby. They would be stupid to do so, and he was right.I, personally, would tear anyone’s throat out who dared go near my daughter in an attempt to kidnap or cause her harm. It will not be tolerated as long as I was breathing. I made that point very clear to Jonathan who agreed with me.Once we settled in at home, Jess left.It was weird knowing that Erick and
