Chapter Twenty-Five ~ We Slept Together
“Aubrey, no, don't ever think that. Jesse died in a terrible car accident. It wasn't your fault," he said in a soft voice while stroking my hair.
I sniffled a little and replied, "Chase, we slept together!"
Before I had a chance to say anything else, he held onto my shoulders and pushed me away, standing up. He paced the length of the room, his breathing erratic.
Eventually, he roared so loud I thought the windows shook, then he punched the wall. I jumped back in my seat; my eyes grew wide when I saw the brick crumbled away from the wall. Blood poured down his hand, so I ran to the kitchen and found a towel. Sprinting back to him, I guided him to the couch. When he’d taken a seat, I knelt on the floor in front of him, wrapping the towel around his hand to apply pressure on the wound. He cupped my cheek with his other hand, and when I glanced up at him, his eyes were black. Surprisingly, they didn't scare me like they had before.
He stroked m

Chased By The Light Chapter Twenty-Six ~ Could It Be Kyle?
It was time to return to school after the holidays, and to be honest, I was going to miss my family and Chase. Sure, I'd get to see him all the time, but I didn't like being away from him much anymore. I loved spending time with him, but luckily for me, he was still like a stalker, so wherever I turned, there he was. It wasn't overbearing, though. I'd gotten used to it, and now that I knew there were dangers out there, like threats of kidnapping, I kind of liked the idea that he wasn't far away.Of course, I always had Payton with me, and Chase found a couple of other wolves who were taking the same classes as me, so I quickly became friends with my new classmates/bodyguards. I stayed over at the Frat house last night. Chase wanted us to go out, but I had some reading to finish before classes started back up, so I agreed to stay over at his place and order food instead. I'd stayed over a few times, so I’d brought some clothes over. That way I didn't have to keep running
Chased By The Light Chapter Twenty-Seven ~ Let's Get Married
Chase sat there staring at me with his mouth wide open. I turned to look at Payton and Connor, and they had the same look."What?" I said in a high-pitched tone."Brie, are you sure? Do you even know what it all entails?" Payton asked me, her eyes wide with shock."Well, no, not exactly, but I'm sure you can all fill me in. Doesn't he just bite me, then you know, I turn?" I asked with a shrug."Oh, no honey, there is so much more to it than that. Chase, you need to tell her," she said while sitting down in the armchair. Connor dropped on the floor beneath her, stretching his long legs out in front of him. My gaze landed on Chase as I waited for him to explain."Well, first I'd have to talk to my uncle and try to convince him to let me take over early as Alpha. We don't usually take over until were twenty-five...""Yeah, good luck with that," Connor chuckled.Chase growled at him and Payton slapped him on the head."Ow, what was t
Chased By The Light Chapter Twenty-Eight ~ Get Out Aubrey
After my accident, everyone tried to convince me that I'd hallucinated seeing Jesse. They insisted that they'd had a traditional werewolf funeral for him, and that me thinking that I'd seen him that day was because of the knock to my head when the car hit me. And even though common sense and logic told me they were all right, in my heart, I still held hope that he was alive.I'd started up classes again and decided against joining the cheerleading team despite the insistence of most of my Sorority sisters. Instead, I focused on track and took up my old ritual of an early morning run. This morning I was up at four forty-five, had a protein shake, and left by five.Chase didn't like me going for a run alone and kept going on about Alphas, Sires and, kings. Blah, blah, blah. He would send different guys out with me each morning to run behind me, or Arabella would come with me, but today I left an hour early so that I could get some peace. I needed to clear my he
Chased By The Light Chapter Twenty-Nine ~ We Need To Leave
It had been nearly six months since Chase left. I’d spent weeks trying to call him and sent thousands of texts, but eventually, his phone was cut off completely. I tried asking Arabella about him, but she just said he was off travelling, and she barely heard from him. I didn't want to put her in the middle. so eventually, I quit asking.I focused on my classes, and track, even began training every morning with Arabella. Running against a team of werewolves was not easy, but I was slowly catching up. Being heartbroken helped in a weird way, and I pushed myself as hard as I could. The physical pain during and after running took away the ache in my heart, even if it was only for a short while.I already knew I was delusional before Chase left, but now I was certain. My visions of Jesse, which brought both joy and confusion, disappeared along with Chase. After a while, I began to think of Jesse less and less, and even when he did pop into my mind, I didn't feel g
Chased By The Light Chapter Thirty ~ I'll Leave Her
“Fiancé? What the hell is he talking about, Bell?" I screamed over the crowd of cheering people. And when I looked back at Chase, his eyes were searing into me. It didn’t deter me. My gaze burned right into his, confusion warring with sadness contorting the features on my face. His shoulders fell and his head dropped as he stepped forward, moving toward me.The crowd was too thick, though, and besides that, Arabella had already started dragging me away, weaving through the mass of people and moving into the kitchen. She took me out the back door and pushed me towards her car. When we were close, I yanked my arm from her grip while she struggled to find her keys in her purse."You can't drive, Bell! You've been drinking!""No, no, it's fine. I haven't had that many," she replied with her head still in her purse. A huge smile spread across her face when she pulled her keys out, dangling them in the air in triumph.I shook my head at her. "I'm
Chased By The Light Chapter Thirty-One ~ He's Giving Up
The next few months were difficult. Chase and I had to sneak around, spending time alone whenever we could. Olivia was great because she was sneaking around seeing Claudia, but for her, at least she could be seen in public. All Claudia had to do was shift into Chase, and as long as they didn't get too close to werewolves, they could be together anywhere in town. We worked out a system. When Chase and I wanted to get away for the weekend—or even just for a night—Olivia and Claudia would come too. Chase and Olivia would leave together, as not to raise suspicion, and then Claudia and I would meet them there.It was exhausting and sometimes confusing, but I couldn't lie, it was exciting as hell. Sneaking around made us lust after each other even more, and the sex was even more mind-blowing. I did find myself getting jealous a lot, though. Sure, I knew it was all an act to keep everyone in the dark but seeing Chase and Liv's public displays of affection had me fuming. Angry s
Chased By The Light Chapter Thirty-Two ~ Are You Serious?
I lowered myself back down to the ground and sat in silence while I wondered who that another blond wolf was. I knew one was dead. Whether or not that was Chase, I didn't know, but from the looks of it, Chase's families wolves were always blond. Maybe it was his father, mourning the loss of his son or brother? Either way, I felt sorry for the wolf, and myself.I sobbed into my hands, not knowing if I had just lost another man that I loved. I wanted to know for sure, but I was too chicken to go back and find out."Brie?"I lifted my head and saw Dawson. He rushed towards me when he saw that I was crying, knelt down, and pulled me into his embrace, where I sobbed into his chest."Why are you crying?" he questioned."Chase? Is he?""Chase is fine. He killed the Alpha."I sat back and searched his eyes to see if he was being truthful, and I noticed the soft smile on his face. I could tell that he felt sad, probably because even thoug
Chased By The Light Chapter Thirty-Three ~ Open This Damn Door
I spent the night alone in my room. Payton tried to comfort me, and Arabella tried to get me to eat, but I refused to open the door for either of them. I was feeling sorry for myself and I didn't want to deal with anyone. A bubble bath sounded nice, so I took one and soaked in it for hours. By the time I got out, the water was stone cold, making me think I might have fallen asleep at some point. After I dried my hair, I headed to bed, only to be woken in the morning by banging on my door.I groaned and rolled over in bed, pulling the duvet over my head. I didn't even bother to ask who was there because I just assumed it would be Payton or Arabella, and I didn't want to listen to their pity or pep talks. The banging on the door got louder and louder. They wouldn’t take no for an answer, I guessed, but they were going to have to."Aubrey, open this damn door!" Chase yelled."Chase?" I said, shock making the word come out slow."Yes! Now, are you goi
