CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: Mitchell’s mom cleared me. No concussion. But she did give me some Tylenol and ordered me to give her a call tomorrow if I didn’t feel any better, giving me her card. Some adult had called my mom and she came over insisting I go home for the evening. She dropped me off with Ally (Ally was given the option to stay there but she didn’t feel right doing that), then leaving me in Ally’s care, she headed back out to check on Meg who was under the charge of Macy and Elaine’s mom. I felt guilty ending the evening early for Ally but she continued to insist that it was not my fault, and said that she agreed with my mom about staying in for the evening. We spent the night watching old Disney classics and singing along to the songs. Ally made popcorn and we analyzed Jake’s actions from tonight over and over, until I geared back to Sean. But there was nothing to analyze there. The guy was very clear with his intentions and feelings, and I decided I really liked that.
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 28: Bubbles
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: “We’ll see what you have to say after you eat my bubble’s dust!” I yelled back, making him laugh. It was deeper than I had ever heard before, like there was a very pleased beast in his chest. The girl signaled and we were off. I ran straight and first then tried slamming right into Jake who had had the same idea and ran right at me too. We bounced off each other like strong bumper cars and I heard the guys yelling in the background. We were both off course and I saw him correcting his angle. Screw this I thought, and instead of doing the same thing, I ran straight towards him, hopefully sending him flying back perpendicular to the pins. But as soon as I made contact I realized my mistake. He is still so much bigger than me and instead of sending him flying, I bounced against his bubble and went flying back, back, back. I screamed in surprise and the next thing I knew I was upside down by the hay bales. “Rach!” Jake was yelling above me still in his own bubble,
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 29: Hay Ride
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: We caught up to Ally and Joey who were watching Nick finish his turn on the jumper. I noticed Nick stiffen at our approach. “Hey! You made it!” Ally exclaimed in our direction. “Yeah, I had a family thing, but it’s good to finally be here. What have you all been up to? Sean talked to Ally. As we got up closer I saw this look on Evan’s face I couldn’t quite place. He was definitely not happy at us, or maybe it was at Sean? “We’ve been having a blast dude, Ally and I raced each other in those bubble things over there. These are Rachel and Ally’s friends Evan and Nick,” Joey gestured at the guys as Nick walked over, his turn now over. I didn’t realize Joey and Sean knew each other. “You should’ve been here when Rach was racing that guy Jake, it was d**m hilarious,” he added smiling. Evan and Nick stood by me, looking down their noses at Sean and I didn’t know why. I felt an urge to introduce them. “Evan, Nick, this is my boyfriend Sean. He goes to Pacifi
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 30: Kiss and Tell
CHAPTER THIRTY: My first kiss! Alarms were going off in my head. Everything felt totally electrified, and his kisses had made everything fade into the background. He let go of my lips and sat back just a little, still holding my cheek. I felt like I was on fire. My heart beated like I had come from running a marathon, and I took a big breath in. His kiss had totally startled me and I guess I hadn’t remembered to breathe. Eyes shining he whispered, “I’ve been dying to do that.” Then he dropped his hand, and my own hand went up to touch my lips which still buzzed like a live wire. I was totally flushed, and when I looked around we were rounding the corner back to the park. Sean sat there, clearly very pleased, and I continued to be in so much shock, I still had my hand at my mouth. The horses slowed and the pony guy came around to open the gate for us. Sean was first to move and he hopped down gracefully, turning around with his hand offered to me. Still in a bit of a daze,
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 31: Lana's Take
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: Watching what was mine get hurt and be taken care of by some other male was driving me crazy. But I had been in crow form when I saw her walk into the pole and couldn’t just shift right there in this public park. Instead, I had to watch as a crowd gathered, a crowd full of males - worse yet, male mutts. One in particular had picked her up and stayed far too close to her for far too long. I sat perched at the top of a tree across the street at the park. I didn’t want to get closer and risk hearing something that would make me more upset. I wouldn’t risk losing my cool. Something felt off about the way she had lost focus and walked into that pole, and I spent a few minutes looking down at the group gathering around her. I was now able to hold this form for hours and was getting stronger. Just being around her, and better yet, touching her, gave me a small surge in my abilities. Like hot weather helping you stretch your muscles, I too stretched my abilities more sm
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 32: Outside Perspectives
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Nick~ Goddess help us. You would think Evan had never had to tone down his wolf traits in front of humans before. Will I be that bad after my first shift next month? I had been making my backwards shot from across the court when Evan’s scent changed. He was exuding excitement, and one glance over at Jake confirmed it was Rachel. I have no clue what it was about her that made these two this crazy. Jake had had a crush on her for years. Even thinking back to first grade I could remember him teasing her about one thing or another to get her to chase him. They chased each other over all kinds of things back then. He seemed alright when she had moved, but when she came back to start 6th grade, you could see it all over his face. He was totally smitten. We were just pups back then. And while we knew about fated mates, it all felt so far away. I mean I had had a few crushes myself on a few human girls throughout middle school, but Jake - he never changed his mind. He
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 33: Sophie's A Pain
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: I was trapped under glass and surrounded by freezing cold water. I tried to breathe and only water entered my lungs, my eyes bulging out in panic. It was dark with just a sliver of light and I was frantically moving my hands along the glass feeling for a way out. My lungs burned with the need to breathe and my throat was coated in salt. I couldn’t feel for a way out and started banging my fists on the glass. I banged over, and over, and over again with the same result, nothing. I felt myself getting both cold and warm all over, my joints going numb. My eyes closed. And I felt so sleepy. If I could only just rest for a moment. My eyes flickered and for an instant I thought I saw a gray wolf looking down at me, through the glass. I started to drift away as I heard the wolf howling, its nails digging away between us. And I had my last thought - that’s not glass, it’s ice. I woke up drenched in sweat. The breeze coming in only chilled me further and I felt my body
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 34: Jake's Mind
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: It turned out I had sprained my ankle. Some people sprained their ankles doing things like gymnastics, or doing acrobatics. I did it walking down some steps that I’ve walked down plenty of times before. I had stayed home through the next two days, my mom encouraging me to take a break. She was convinced I had misstepped because I was stressed from school or tired. And she wasn’t totally wrong about the latter. It was now Wednesday afternoon. I had been able to take short naps throughout these past few days and I knew I was catching up on sleep. But I still had the worst time trying to sleep through the night the last two nights. I repeated the drowning nightmare, and when I finally managed to fall asleep again, I had a similar dream of falling to my death from a tall building. Both nights. Awful. It was mid-afternoon and I was responding to one of Ally’s texts. She had been trying to keep me updated on all things Pacific in my absence. It was actually pretty
