My throat felt dry as I stood outside the door. I put up a wall to get some quiet in my head for the pack wouldn’t stop talking about him. I understood their confusion, concern, and anger, but I needed to think for myself.
“How is he?” I asked as the pack healer went out.
She smiled softly then replied, “He needs to rest, Alpha. Wherever he was, he wasn’t treated kindly.” Her smile dropped into a frown. She looked like she wanted to ask something but hesitated.
“Thank you,” I said before she could ask me a question, I didn’t know the answer to. I felt the bond break then and so did the rest of the pack.
“Is he awake?”
“He’s asleep. It’s good
~Rigel~Gale should be back at the White Lake Pack by now. I could’ve started earlier but I had to make sure he wasn’t going to come back. It’d ruin the plan. My friend had been waiting for months – what were a few more hours?“Rigel!” shouted Mom from downstairs. “Come have dinner!”I went down and joined her in the kitchen. She already had it ready for me on a hot plate – roasted beef and mashed potatoes. My mouth watered. No one cooked like Mom. I sneaked behind her then gave her a hug.“Thanks, Mom!” I exclaimed then kissed her cheek.She laughed as she put the plate down. “Grow up, will you?”“I am grown,” I replied, motioning to my body. She rolled her eyes and took off her apron.“What are you doing back here? Are you escaping work again?” she questioned with her hand on her hip.I stuffed my mouth with the mashed potatoes. “Mmm… so good, Mom. Your cooking’s t
~Liam~I played with the Head Gamma’s ring on my hand, my thumb rubbing over the center stone, an oval-shaped star ruby. A star-like pattern appeared as the light hit it.He finally did it. I expected it to happen but hoped it wouldn’t since the slight change in him when Anna was around. He cared for her in the same way he cared for Sarina. However, it wouldn’t have been enough to make him do this. It was something else, or more accurately, someone… who meant the world to him – Maya.“He’s going after him,” said Luca.“He’s not our concern now,” I replied. “He’s a rogue.”“Rigel and Rain are our brothers!” he shouted, growling.I drank the last of the bourbon then set the glass down. “If he was really our brother, he wouldn’t cut the bond. Face it, Luca, he hated me for it.”He growled. “It’s suicide! We have to go after him. I’m not losing my brother.”“That was his choice t
~Anna~“Please talk to me,” said Alpha Emery. For the last thirty minutes or so, he’d been begging me to talk to him. Why couldn’t he understand that I didn’t want to talk to anyone, especially him! I pulled the covers up to my neck and didn’t reply. He could keep talking for all I care.“I’m really sorry, Bella,” he repeated. For what – for lying, for kidnapping me, for killing my father? Why did I even stay in the first place? I was free to go. Why didn’t I just up and leave?Why do I keep getting myself stuck in messed-up situations!He sighed. “I’m sorry. I’ll leave you alone.”“I didn’t mean for any of this to happen, Bella. I’m sorry couldn’t tell you. How cou
~Anna~My heart skipped a beat as he came closer, stepping into the moonlight coming from the glass wall behind the wide stairs.How did he get in?His eyes fixated on me, a slight pull on the corner of his lips. I opened my mouth to utter his name, but his lips suddenly crashed onto mine as his hand went to the back of my head, and his other arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him. His tongue licked my lips, asking for entrance, and a soft grip on my side made me gasp, giving him what he asked for.My lips parted for him and he plunged his tongue inside, dominating me as he always did. Hungry and urgent, his kiss sparked a fire in me that could only be extinguished by his touch
~Rigel~“You stink,” said Andrix as he covered his nose with a hand. He’d been constantly complaining about my scent that I was entertaining the thought of going ahead of him or using him as bait. The latter sounded more reasonable if I didn’t need him to get in.“Did you take at least take a shower?” he asked, making a gagging sound.I spun around and gave him a death glare. I couldn’t smell myself. I knew going rogue would make me stink, but he didn’t have to rub it in my face! I didn’t need a constant reminder that I was now alone.He put his arms up in surrender and gr
~Gale~“I’m sleepy,” said Jaymer as he let out a loud yawn, the sleeve of his robe pulling back as he brought up a hand in the air. “Why do you need me, again?”I rolled my eyes before answering, “We’re rescuing our brother. We need you, Jaymer.”Waking him up was difficult enough with the additional traps he set this time around that we almost lost one of ours from a blast of fire. Dealing with his attitude was more of a pain. We were almost close to the borders of the Blue Moon Pack and we needed him to focus.“He’s rogue…,” he whined.“He’s still our brother. Now shut up and follow along,” I replied, getting annoyed.For a witch who lived across
~Anna~My ears rang as I regained consciousness, the sharp piercing sound splitting my head into two. My body felt sore and weak and heavy as I pushed myself off the ground. Screams sounded around me, a low echo amidst the ringing. And where the mansion had once been, a great fire that reached the heavens. The van burned, too, a blazing yellow and orange eating its interior.Father.I swayed to the sides when I stood, thoughts of his death consuming my mind.Father. Beta David. The Delta Unit.My legs like lead as I dragged my feet into the burning structure, warmth creeping down my cheeks. It couldn’t be. This had to be a nightmare – a very surreal nightma
~Liam~A silent groan escaped me as I blinked my eyes open. Moving my arms, I felt a sting around my wrists.“About time,” said Gale.Gale?I raised my aching head to see that my wrists were bound in silver chains. Gale was to the wall on my left in the same position. He tipped his jaw forward.To my right was Rigel, in exactly the same position as us.“You stink,” I commented.The stale air was filled with his repulsive scent. It didn’t help that my nose was sensitive.“Fuck you, Liam,” he spat, his head down.“Hey, Alpha,” said another voice.I looked down and saw the prisoner on the concrete floor, on his knees. Chains bound his arms to his back and his ankles were cuffed, connected to chains that were held securely to the same wall as I, just below me.“Now that you’re awake, how about figuring out a way to get us out of here?”I knew I smelt something famil
