Chapter Thirty-Five ~ You Miss Me?
When it got to seven a.m., I decided it was pointless trying to sleep. I got up and went for a shower, before getting dressed. Sitting on my bed, wracked with nerves, I glanced at my phone. No messages. I thought Chase might have messaged me, considering he was trapped in the house in the woods. But he didn't. Then I remembered how drunk he was last night and figured he was sleeping off a hangover.
I startled when I heard a tap on the door. Heart pounding, I hoped it was Chase.
"Brie?" Payton called out.
My heart rate slowed back down. "Yeah, come in."
She walked in holding a dress bag. Looking elegant, she wore a dusty aqua blue bridesmaid’s dress. It was long to the floor, but nipped in at the waist, showing off her curves. It also had one thick strap that went across the top of her chest and over her shoulder, and as she walked past me, I could see that the strap flared out into a train at the back.
It was stunning, and I smiled afte

“You don’t get to talk to her like that,” Chase snapped while reaching his hand around to pull me behind him. “Not anymore. She’s my wife, not an object to be won or lost.”Jesse threw his head back and let out a booming chuckle, which was promptly followed by the mocking laughter of his pack of misfits. The guests from the wedding were silent and I could tell that many wanted to leave, but they couldn’t pull themselves away from the car crash that was my life. Tears rolled down my cheeks as every ounce of the happy future I’d been dreaming of faded away. My heart was elated and broken all at once, and I couldn’t handle the magnitude of the emotions that were bombarding me. Jesse was alive and well, but my marriage was over before it had even begun.While the pair of them continued their Alpha pissing match, I began to walk away. They hadn’t even noticed that I’d gone until I was nearly at the trees. I could hear them calling after me, begging me to come back, but every time I thought

“Hey, Kiddo?” My dad’s whispered words pulled me from my slumber.With a fractured groan, I stretched my arms into the air, trying to relieve some of the muscle aches that plagued my body. Sleeping upright in the car wasn’t the most comfortable and my joints hurt like a bitch. A few cracks here and there relieved some of my discomfort. I peeled my eyes open when my dad opened up the car door, and I was glad that the sun had long since set in the sky. I didn’t look at him, my gaze dropped down to my twitching fingers. They seemed to be rhythmic in their movements and I remembered that I had fallen asleep stroking my brother’s fur.“Where's Austin?” I asked in a croaky voice.“He didn’t want to gross you out with his naked ass, so he ran off into the house to get dressed.”A smile spread across my face. He was right, that would have grossed the hell out of me. When Austin was in his wolf form, I didn’t see him as my little brother, but if he shifted at any point during our trip home, I

I laid down on the floor and gazed up into the beautiful night sky. The stars twinkled, and it was the first time in weeks that I felt at complete peace. I sensed something in the distance towards the trees, so I turned my head to look at what was there. My eyes grew wide when I saw them. Just outside of town lines were Chase and Jesse. Behind them were their packs. They were waiting for me, calling to me, although now I couldn’t hear them.My heart began to beat faster and faster as excitement and joy took over me. Seeing them made me happier than I could have imagined. Their beautiful, sparkling green eyes and their dimpled smiles drew me in instantly. I loved them more than anything in this world, but now that everything was silent, I could think clearly for the first time in weeks. Had they been there the entire time? Was this all happening because of them?I stood up and they both edged forward but stopped dead like they couldn’t cross an invisible barrier or something. I moved f

“That should do the trick,” she announced in a chirpy voice. “You'll need to keep those earplugs in for at least a week while your eardrums heal. Otherwise, the noise will be too much for you and they won’t heal. Your hearing is super-charged, so hearing us through the earplugs shouldn’t be an issue.”I nodded at her but she didn’t give me a chance to thank her, or say anything at all, really. She turned to my parents and said,“Right ... I’m going to need you to capture both men for me. Can you do that?” She asked my father and he nodded in reply. I didn’t know what she wanted with them, but she did just fix my ears, so there was some trust there.“If I just erase her memories of them, they can still cause her significant harm by hanging around and calling for her. Eventually, it will drive her to insanity. Their bloodline is strong. Usually, the blood would have faded from her system, but theirs is too powerful. With their family's blood in her system, it has merged with her own DNA

“Shhh!” She held her finger to her lips for a few seconds while scanning around one last time. With a deep exhale she finally began to speak. “I only saw green auras, Aubrey. What other color did you see?” She asked in a whisper, while still darting her eyes around.“Blue… Why?”She gasped and threw her hands up to her mouth. With a shake of her head, she lowered her hands and replied,“No! That’s impossible. Are you absolutely certain you saw blue?”I nodded my head in reply, but she wasn’t convinced. Gripping a hold of my shoulders once more, she leaned in a little too close for comfort.“Now, Aubrey, this is extremely important. Are you sure?” She asked slowly, like all of a sudden I’d had a knock to the head and was a little on the dim side.With an exaggerated roll of my eyes, I replied,“Yes, Mom, I'm sure. Blue around their feet and legs, blending into an aqua color around their waists and finishing at a dark green around their head.”I thought I best explain exactly what I’d s

I would have taken her apology seriously if she didn’t still have that stupid smirk on her face. Oh, and not to mention her condescending tone. Who was I kidding? She was doing it all to wind me up. I didn’t know why she had something against me, but it took everything in me not to blurt out about her being a hybrid. I didn’t know what it meant, but I knew it was a secret that she wanted to keep on the down-low, because why else would she and her brothers have a cloaking spell on them? There was a reason why they were trying to conceal their true aura from Scions and I could have exploited it, but without my parents or brother here, I couldn’t risk starting a fight.I was sure that my pack would have my back, but I wasn’t sure how powerful the triplets were and if I did take them on, I couldn’t be sure that Shana would be on my side. I knew she worked closely with my father and our pack, and that she and her coven were classed as pack members, but if her loyalty lay with the other wit

Austin looked over at the cackling triplets with an eyebrow raised and a look on his face that I could tell right away that he thought they were complete weirdos. I chuckled a little, knowing my brother wasn’t keen on them, which was great, because it meant one more person on my side. I was a little worried that he’d have been sucked in by Irene's witchy charms, but luckily, he hadn't. He strolled over to me and Shana, then placed his back against the wall between us, bending his knee to rest his foot on the breeze blocks. While sweeping his hand through his hair, he asked,“So what’s got them cackling? They’re giving me the heeby-jeebies.”I saw now why Irene didn’t have my brother under her spell. He was crushing hard on Shana. Spotting my parents coming in through the back door, I decided to use the opportunity to leave Shana and my brother to continue their flirting alone. Between the pair of them, they were making me queasy. She was twirling strands of her hair around her finger

My dad chuckled at my naivety, which pissed me off even more. Like this situation wasn’t bad enough, I didn’t need to be laughed at or treated like a child.“Kiddo, they’re in full-blown Alpha mode right now. You have no idea what they’re capable of. They’re running on pure animal instinct and that instinct is telling them that you’re their mate and we’ve taken you away from them. They’ll kill us all!”I stood in silence, glancing back and forth between my mom and dad. Their worried expressions didn’t waver and I found myself battling my own thoughts. I couldn’t believe that Chase or Jesse would kidnap me, or hurt me in any way, but seeing the way they had been manipulated by the spells painted on the walls, I couldn’t be sure of much anymore.I thought that leaving all that mess behind at Murston would have been a fresh start for me. I believed that Chase and Jesse would respect my decision and get on with their lives, and leave me to get on with mine. I never thought about their ani
