CONCEALMENT Chapter 14
EmeraldSIX MONTHS LATER...The constant blaring of my alarm, which was right next to mine, woke me from peaceful sleep. I awoke, my head deep in the plush pillows, my hair still damp from my bath last night, all over the place. I was honestly grateful for this plush queen sized bed, it was absolutely heavenly. Which only made it harder for me to get out of bed everyday at the crack of dawn. Easily slamming my hand on the off button of my alarm clock, I rolled over in between my sheets, soon realizing that I was again naked. Only time that I woke up naked was when the night before I had another unbearable night of hot flashes. The term "hot flashes'' couldn't even begin to describe how I felt. The fact that I found myself always getting bags of ice nearly every week for this occasion was beyond miserable.It had started off as an everyday thing, having gone on for two weeks straight. Only time I left my apartment was to go to the grocery store to get ice because I wasn't sure when th
CONCEALMENT Chapter 15
Anonymous POV.After Garret and Kimberly got dressed, they went their separate ways. As he made his way to his father's office- well his office- he tried to make sense of what his father had said. About their being rogue on his territory for months and how he never caught it. His father was always paranoid, parts of what made him a good alpha for so long. Usually, with his paranoia, he ended up being right the majority of the time. He knocks and waits for his father's approval to enter. Not too long after he heard his frustrated and tired voice respond to him. Hadn't even been back from vacation for an hour and he was already becoming stressed. Garret couldn't lie, he felt guilty about the fact that his father who deserved a vacation had to come back and handle this supposed rogue. Walking inside, he sees his father at his desk, going through files. "I'll give you this," Darryl began, "You stayed on top of your paperwork.""I knew I'd never heard the end of it if I didn't," Garret
CONCEALMENT Chapter 16
Anonymous POV.Plans were in motion.Best trackers and high leveled wolves were put on task to find the rogue, half on foot, the other in their wolf form. While the human form once roamed the intricate town, not raising suspicion whatsoever, the others roamed the various woods that they had surrounding the small town. Garret and his father roamed on foot together, partnering up with one another to prove each other wrong. Garret still held true to the fact that there wasn't a rogue because he would've felt it along with his pack, but yet when his father gets here that's all he can feel. It didn't make sense. No ounce of distraction can make someone not feel someone crossing the border, it would've shifted the atmosphere. But nonetheless, to get his father off his back, he engaged with the search. Throughout the pack mind link, everyone was saying that they haven't spotted or smelt anything and that it was a waste of time. Obviously, Darryl had his barriers up because he remained quie
CONCEALMENT Chapter 17
Emerald's POV.They had caught onto me. I knew it was a matter of time but it still surprised me nonetheless. I had become comfortable here and believed that no one could possibly know now that it had been so long since I've arrived. Oh, how I was wrong. I stayed in the back while they spoke to Rhoda. Being in the locker room made me believe that Rhoda didn't know that I was there so when she answered about someone being new she wasn't particularly lying. But something felt that she was hiding me, which I was thankful for but also confused about. Having left magically to avoid being seen by the Alpha and his son, I was here in my apartment, freaking out. What was I going to do? I couldn't stay here, could I? They were onto me and it would be a matter of time before they scoped me out. I couldn't risk that. I was a rare breed as well as a witch, the repercussions of my capture could be gruesome and something I couldn't bear after what my brothers did. It didn't matter if I could
CONCEALMENT Chapter 18
EmeraldI followed my usual routine of getting up at the crack of dawn, not naked this time, and went to work to do the morning and lunch rush. To say that I was anxious was an understatement. I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if Rhoda saying that she hadn't seen anyone around the diner would cause them to not check back in. I was confused and I was nervous and I couldn't wrap my head around intentionally staying to finish this journey, to finish this prophecy. Whatever that is and whatever that may be. As I worked, it was easy for my mind to get off the anxious topic that had been flooding my mind since yesterday. I focused on the customers and fulfilling orders and at lunchtime, switching with a coworker to work the kitchen. Having been in the kitchen for three hours, cooking nonstop, it wasn't until two in the afternoon that I finally got to breathe. Considering it was the end of my shift, I still went onto the floor to see if any help was needed with cleaning. Rhoda ha
CONCEALMENT Chapter 19
Emerald's POVShit. That is all that went through my mind as we stared at each other. It didn't cause a disturbance with anyone on the floor because nobody noticed this gorgeous man, standing outside, looking directly into the diner, at me. I held his stare, trying to remain as calm as possible but I couldn't make out what that smirk meant. Was it one that meant that he found me out and that he had every intention of scoping me out. Or was it just a smirk of someone who found me attractive. I highly doubted the latter approach but it slightly calmed me to think that was the case. Of course, he couldn't have made a scene capturing me inside the diner, not with everyone being human and attracting attention. That didn't mean though that he wouldn't be waiting for me outside with his pack to take me in. I cursed again. I remembered what Luna and Venus had said about no harm coming to me, but I couldn't be so sure. No harm meaning I wouldn't die but what could happen when I was captu
CONCEALMENT Chapter 20
Garret stood outside her apartment alone. Trying hard. Trying so hard that it gave him a headache that he didn't succeed. It was impossible, that's all that came to mind. An apartment that he couldn't hear through, something else was up and he needed to know what. It crossed his mind to go up there himself and figure it out but he refused. He needed to remain patient, as much as his body wanted to act upon everything- he didn't. He looked up to the window that didn't give any sound, feeling as if he was being watched but didn't see anyone. Shaking his head in confusion, he vowed to try again tomorrow and see where it would lead him. Are you really just going to let her go? Questioned his wolf, Thadus. We need answers. In time, he says, trying to calm his wolf as much as he could. Not knowing or having any information about this girl drove him slightly crazy, and if it drove Garret crazy, it only drove Thaddeus even more. Alpha, said one of his pack members in the mind-link. We
CONCEALMENT Chapter 21
EmeraldThe day was the same as any other. For the breakfast rush I had served the customers and then when the chef for the morning went home, I went to the back to do lunch. Once the rush was over, near the end of my shift, I was back out on the floor to tidy up before the dinner rush. Talking to Taylor while we cleaned the tables and swept the floors, it was as if nothing was wrong. As if I wasn't being hunted for being the rogue of the most powerful pack in America. Once I made Rhoda something to eat and clocked out, I was soon leaving to go back home. As I stepped out though, I felt him before I saw him. I didn't have to look to see where he was, knowing that he was yesterday. Standing across the street, at the storefront, leaning against the wall. I didn't feel his other pack members this time and for that, I was grateful but also confused. He knew I was the rogue, didn't he? Why didn't he capture me yet? What was he waiting for?The questions in my head irritated me to the
