River Colden
“Don’t do this, River.” Zane said sternly, his fists clenched tightly.
I could see he was trying to control himself, but he was pissed too. He wants to fight, but he doesn’t want to make a mess of things.
Well I for one am done with all of this.
Keira has done nothing but treat me like shit since she saw me and the second she saw Zane, suddenly they’re best of friends again? What the hell did he do for him to get such special fucking treatment while I was discarded to the side like dirt?
To top it all off, her dickhead mate, the ass wipe, threatened me
“Are you sure you don’t need anything else? Water? Coffee? Another one of my amazing tea mixes?” Zane asked as he positioned himself against my doorframe. I give him a smile before shaking my head. “I’m alright. Besides, I think I should be the one asking you that. I think you’ve forgotten that you’re the guest here, not me.” We both chuckle, but right after the air stiffens, an uncomfortable silence hangs in between us. It’s been approximately twelve hours and twenty five minutes since we received information from one of Titus’ Pack members. Ever since he told us that they arrived at the place they know Elisha was hiding at, there has been no other communication with them. I was dying from curiosity and nervousness. Zane has been by my side the whole time. I guess River too, but he kept his distance. As he should. He hasn’t done anything but stress me out and make things even more difficult since he arrived. And yet, a part of me still sometimes wonders if he’s alright outsi
Titus BaneExhaustion was one of the many things I and my Pack members were feeling right now, but none of us were stopping. I made sure of that.As soon as we landed, I had our best sniffers go around the place and confirmed that we were in the right area. It was fortunate on our end that Elisha still left some of her things back at her place so it was easier to track as well as Neo’s scent.The only problem was that we knew they were there, but the specific location was much harder to pinpoint.We walked, we ran, we scouted, and many people looked at us confused and weirdly, wondering why a group of men that were definitely not from around here kept going around the place.
Titus BaneBeing underground was nothing new to me or my Pack. It might even not be on most of their top five of unlikeliest places to end up in for battle.Well, it mostly depends on who you would ask. Cyrus would say a smelly and musky underground would be a part of his top five since he usually stayed back in the Pack quarters to organize, not directly fight.Egan, on the other hand, who often saw even more disgusting and suspicious places since he was always in battle, would consider this not even half of the things he had to experience.However, no matter what they consider this place as, I made sure that they knew that this was one of their most important battles because the thing is, it wasn’t just about fi
I lower myself down onto the grass until I have my knees bent and I’m close enough to dig on the soil with my trowel.I start creating a hole that’s not too small, but also big enough to fit a couple of the seeds on my palm. They’re legume seeds. Neo likes these broad beans and they grow exceptionally well during the Fall season.Isn’t it odd that a little boy would have beans as one of their favorite foods? Chad often wondered that, and I never really had the answer. One day, he just kept eating them and Elisha gifted me the seeds to plant in her backyard.It was because of her that I was able to start this garden that was a perfect size for a beginner like me – twelve by twenty four feet, more than enough for all of the veget
Titus BanePastFire. A state, process, or instance of combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off light, heat, and flame.In mine and my kind’s case though, it was our weakness. At least, in most cases.But in our Pack, we were different. Born and raised to be special, to be stronger than our so-called weakness.We were brought up to be resistant to fire and heat.“Father, I- I don’t think I can do it.” I glanced over to my father, the Alpha of the Blazing Wolves, who was walking beside me further into the middle of the woods where wolves went for
If anyone told me five years ago that River would suddenly come back to my life and I would let him, I would have laughed at their faces and forgotten they even said it in the first place. Right now though, I think the only one laughing was me, at myself. And with River. Goddess, how was I laughing with him and not at him? Oh, right. It’s because he attempted to build a race car bed for Neo and he totally messed up the instructions so now it looks more like a Transformers car as a robot, not the car part. “I could have sworn I followed the instructions step by step!” He said in frustration as he stared at
“Hello? Who is this? Are you with River?” She spoke again and now the voice sounded familiar to me, for obvious reasons.Shit. Damn it. What should I do now? I can’t just hang up out of nowhere since she’s already heard me!I cleared my throat. “Uh, h-hey, Syvne. This is, uh, Keira. Not sure if you remember me bu–”“Keira?” Her voice got higher. “Oh of course I remember you, sweetie. Oh my goodness, I haven't heard from you in years.”If I didn’t know any better, I would think she was actually happy to hear me, but I was there that day and I knew from the way she looked at me that she didn’t want anything to do with me.
River ColdenAs soon as Keira ran out of the room after shoving my phone into my hand, I knew something had happened. I can’t believe I fell asleep. Damn it.“Mamma, what did you talk to Keira about that made her speed out of here?”“Huh? What do you mean, son? She seemed fine on the phone.” My mother replied rather oblivious to the whole situation.Before I left for Arizona to get back to Keira, I left her a message telling her about how I let Skye take care of things around the Pack for the meantime. I explained to her from the very beginning as well – the abuse and the lies.She must have just heard the message now a
