Chase. Bad Religion
Rose I took my time making my way to the training grounds. I was so hurt, and I needed to blow off some steam. I was a scout, I didn’t need to clock as many training hours as my warrior counterparts did, but since meeting Liam, I had been keeping up with the warriors on the training field. My scouting skills were sharp enough to warrant me graduating a year early, so I figured I could take a week or so focusing more on combat. I worked in with a group from my graduating class, alternating between offense and defense. As a scout, my combat training was primarily in defensive maneuvers, but if things kept going this poorly with my mate, I was certain my offensive fighting would be up to snuff enough to be dual trained. “Rose!” Cody called across the field, pulling my attention away from the fight I was watching. I made my way over to him. “Yes, Gamma?” He was on the clock, he was Gamma right now. “You looking to make a career change or something?” he chuckled. “You’ve been out h
Chase. Young Girl
Liam I didn’t even look down at my little mate as she flitted out of Cody’s office and I marched in. I bit back the discomfort at her being in a room behind a closed door with him. I was quick to remind myself that he was my friend and her superior. I could trust him with her. Alo was still unsettled, though. I found Cody perched on the edge of his couch, Woodford in hand, a small smile flitting across his face. I grabbed for the bottle and a glass, plonking down in the spot I could tell Rose had just been sitting. “Did you lose your wolf when you rejected Ellie?” I demanded. Cody looked up at me, shock etched across his face. “What? No. You’ve seen me shift since then.” I nodded, a bit of relief sweeping over me. Sometimes, rejection was the thing you were supposed to do with a mate bond, it seemed. “That’s the second time I’ve been asked that today. What’s going on?” he asked. I shrugged my shoulders, having no idea why someone else would have asked him such a question.
Chase. Dancing In The Moonlight
Rose I sat in Anna’s closet room while Jade made the rounds, doing all our makeup, and Anna stayed on top of making sure all our mimosas stayed full. Lya kept making comments on how she didn’t see how this was any different from a wedding or an inauguration, and we all took turns telling her it was both. Hair, however, was where Jade shone. She tried desperately to add some volume to my stick straight hair, her frustration growing with every attempt. She settled on waterfall braids and somehow got some soft waves to stick. I knew they would fall flat by the ceremony, but it was a noble effort. I was envious of what she was able to do with Lya’s auburn curls, though, taming the waves and weaving in little gems to randomly placed braids. Anna’s deep brunette hair was done up in a sophisticated updo with curls framing her face, and even Jade’s chestnut waves looked professionally styled just down. I felt bland. I felt like an imposter surrounded by these ungodly gorgeous women. It
Chase. Hush.
Liam I sat in Rose’s apartment, examining the space. It was small, just a little studio, but she had put her mark on it. It was organized, each area having a designation and its own color scheme. Her kitchen was kept neat, and she was apparently not one to make her bed. I claimed I was here to interrogate her on her date once she got back - assuming she came back - but truthfully, being surrounded by her scent was keeping me calm even when I knew she was with another man. I felt everything. Every time Cody touched her, I felt a mild burning sensation against my skin. When he held her hand, I wanted to rip my own off. When he drifted too far up her thigh, her scent was barely enough to contain me. Nothing hurt, per se, but the meaning behind it was too much. But I also felt that she didn’t reciprocate. Not once. She pulled her hand from his, making me decide my hand could remain attached another day. Her adjusting so his hand fell away from her leg was the only thing that kept
Chase. Where Is My Mind?
Rose It was a monumental effort to peel my eyes open, but nature called. After a week of no sleep at all, this was the most peaceful sleep of my life. I breathed in deep, nearly letting the comforting aroma surrounding me lull me back. With a sigh, though, I went to get out of bed. It took a couple tries of getting up to realize I was being held down by a heavy weight thrown across my waist. I froze, glimpses of last night seeping back into my brain. I was scared to look over and see who was lying next to me. My heart and wolf wanted to tell me it was my mate, but my brain said he never would have done what he did last night. He wouldn’t have cared. I kept my eyes squeezed shut as I turned over, too nervous to see who was before my eyelids. The hand that reached out to caress my cheek was a dead giveaway, though. “Bunny,” a husky voice breathed. I smiled in relief, but the illusion quickly ended as soon as my eyes opened. I jumped up out of bed, as if that would douse the
Chase. You Could Be Happy
Liam I spent the entire day beating myself up. Half the time, it was for the way I acted last night. The other half, for my behavior this morning. The mixed messages I was giving off were confusing even me. It was no surprise when I found myself at the training grounds. I had noticed Rose was here quite often even though she was a scout, not a warrior, but I needed to burn off this physical tension. I hoped that she would be preoccupied with Anna and Lya so I could get some training in before she showed up. I zeroed in on Cody as soon as I got there. I wanted to say the rage that bubbled in my chest was from my wolf, but I knew it was just as much my own. Everything inside of me told me to kill him for threatening to take what was mine. Alo, the smug fucker of a wolf that he was, growled in approval of my assessment. I marched over to my old friend turned nemesis, a sardonic grin plastered on my face. “So Cody,” I said, pulling his attention away from the conversation he was in
Chase. Dreams
Rose It had been two days since I had woken up to Liam in my bed, and I had skillfully avoided him since then. Tonight, though, there was a little sending off party for us in the packhouse, so I’d have to face him. Lya had finally decided to set up her office, but it was primarily used for us girls to hang out. If it was a pack matter - Wulver or Snow Moon - she was in Oliver’s office so she could ask questions and get help. She was currently pacing back and forth while Anna, Jade, and I watched. “He’s miserable, I hate him!” she shrieked. “He’s being a royal jerk to you, Rose, and he keeps talking to me like I know nothing! I mean, first he said all this stuff about me not knowinging how to be a wolf and alluded to me not being fit for alpha, but then when he tried to apologize, he just made it worse!” I let out a sigh of relief. It felt good to have my opinion of my mate validated by someone else he treated poorly, and it was really nice to have Lya back and acting as Lya -
Chase. Gold Dust Woman
Liam I had made my choice. The pain that tore through me as she made hers nearly ripped me in two. It was the fire that ripped through my chest that drove me and a bottle of Crown to her little studio apartment, ready to admonish her for her bad choices. Bad choices I encouraged her to make. My phone buzzed. I didn’t even have to check to know exactly who it was. “Well hello, dear old friend,” I said sarcastically, feeling like a girl on the verge of laughing during a fight. “I’m sorry,” Cody begged. “I am so sorry. I swear, I didn’t know. If I had any idea, I would never have…” His voice trailed off. I couldn’t decide if he didn’t want to voice he thought about fucking my mate, or he genuinely didn’t know what he wouldn’t have done. “I am gonna deal with my mate, and then I am going to come deal with you,” I told him, as if I was listing off my to do list for the day. “I didn’t know!” Cody insisted. I chuckled dryly. “Tell that to my wolf. It’s thanks to me I didn’t k
