Living in a small town had its perks, especially in times of need. Everyone knew everyone, which could be both a blessing and a curse. As we drove in silence, Joel's hand on my thigh, I struggled to compose myself. The weight of my emotions was overwhelming, but his comforting touch helped me regain some control.

We pulled up to the front of the house. I could see the top of Jess’s head through the window; it looked like they were watching the newest kids’ movie that was out. I hoped my face wasn’t an absolute mess; I’m sure with the day I have had, all the crying and breaking down, it was. Before I could say anything to Joel, he was already at my door, ready to open it. I guess he just wanted me to leave so he could get back to whatever he was doing. I didn’t even see him get out of the car, let alone notice he opened his own car door and shut it, but before I touched the handle to my door, he had it open with a handout for me. I took it so he could help me get out of his c

  • Chosen wolf    Chapter nine

    We quickly pulled into the hotel's back lot. Jordan parked in one of the reserved spots. He helps me out, and he wraps his arm around my shoulder as we walk to the door with two new guards stationed at the door. Typically, the guards didn’t bother me. If anything, they set me at ease because I knew they would keep us safe. Now I wasn’t feeling at ease. It was bad enough with the reason why I was there, but then I noticed the female guard sneering at me. A shiver went through me as I remembered how badly this woman used to bully me in school. When the whole Chad thing happened, she was like a kid in a candy store with all the new ways she could torment me with. “What is wrong?” Jordan asked; he must have felt how my body reacted to seeing her, and remembering all the awful things she did to me. I didn’t want him to know about any of it.

  • Chosen wolf    Chapter Seven

    As soon as the text to Phil went from “delivered” to “read,” Phil’s name lit up my phone. I answered, began apologizing, and told him it was okay if he couldn’t come and get me, assuring him it was no big deal. That I would deal with it. I didn’t want to bother him. I felt like I was rambling, and I knew I was, because I didn’t let him get a word in. It felt weird for me to go straight to him for help. Even though it shouldn’t feel that way, because I considered him family, if my dad were still around, I would have just called him. My dad would be like, "Don’t worry, I got you, Princess." He always made sure I was taken care of. Even when he couldn’t make it, he would call Phil, and Phil would help out. My Dad knew Phil would help when he wasn’t able to. Maybe that’s why this felt strange. Still, I don’t know what was up with me. I never felt weird about going to Phil for help until now. Seeing Chad must have really messed with me. “Don’t worry about it, little hippie. I go

  • Chosen wolf    Chapter Six

    I gave Jordan a slight smile before heading back towards the restaurant. He gave me a friendly wave before heading back up to the VIP section. I found myself wishing I had asked Jordan about that guy, at least his name, but I chickened out. Matt made sure to open the door for me as I walked by. I thanked him as I made my way through. “No problem, cutie,” was his reply. I rolled my eyes when he said that. He was not getting me with his player ways. Especially not after that run-in with Chad. The first half of the work went by fairly normally. I spent my first thirty-minute lunch break texting Jess. She was the only person I could talk to about my strange morning. She, of course, was focused on getting all the details about the parts of the VIP lounge she could get out of me. I couldn’t blame her. We spent many teenage days gossiping about what we thought it would look like. Each idea was crazier than the last back then. “No, it wasn’t fully made from diamonds,”

  • Chosen wolf    Chapter Five

    I turned away from the beautiful man at my back, and dread and embarrassment filled me. It was my ex-boyfriend. I just had to go and think about him. It was like those thoughts summoned him here to torment me. He was the only boy I have ever dated. I did everything in my power to forget him. He was the one who ruined the rest of high school for me. Once he took my virginity, he dumped me right away. He wasn’t even done buttoning his pants when he ended it. I hated his beautiful face. He made my junior year of high school hell. My senior year was just as horrible, thanks to him. Even though he did not go to my school, he made sure people knew about it and made fun of me for it. I never understood the point in all of that. To make me miserable. But what hurt the most was losing all of my friends, including a childhood best friend, Sarah. She believed his lies and turned against me, leaving me alone in the midst of all the rumors and mockery. She even helped him make my life hell

  • Chosen wolf    Chapter Four

    Both men in front of me stood a little straighter. My spine stiffened a little, too, at the authority he held in his voice. I was not afraid, though. I knew him better than most people would realize. Even though I haven't really seen him since my father's funeral. Phil Holloway's Oldest son, Joel, stood behind me. He was easily six foot five with a broad, muscled chest. He looked terrific in his dark grey suit. His dark hair and dark eyes were a cold mask that scared and intimidated many. If I did not know it was just a mask, I would be terrified of him. He was very handsome, but many women were scared, even when they attempted to talk to him. To this day, I still do not know why he always puts up this front with the world around us. It has been like this since he got back from college. It was a shame; he was a deeply caring man. He always takes care of the people he loves and cares about. “Of course, Mr. Holloway, right away, sir. You may go through Miss Ashworth.” Garret
