“No, he just redirected his anger onto you.” I roll my eyes, shaking my head…stopping when his hand cups the side of my face. “Then it worked Red.” “Knox.” I sigh out, this man was giving me whiplash. “We were interrupted last night, in the nightclub.” His hands fall onto my hips as they pull me
~ Josie ~ By mid morning my eyes were heavy and I was struggling to stay awake. Of all days, today I had left to write my reports on the recent treatments of patients that had been signed off Doctor Abel’s care in the past month. Hindsight can be a bitch…if I had known I wouldn’t have slept last n
“What do you think?” “No Josie, what do you think?” “Erm..” I pause to think on the next best course of action. My eyes scan the room above, his dark aura causing hospital members to now leave the viewing platform. He hadn’t been there a moment ago, but now he was and his face was thunderous.
~ Knox ~ If I sleep any longer, I think I will go mad. I’m not a sleeper, I’m not a rest person…there’s always been too much at stake to take my eye off the ball. Plus, I get bored if I’m not moving, if I’m not thinking. I’m a strong werewolf, I was created to move, it’s in my DNA. So having sp
I’m an Alpha trainer, not a dog whisperer. “Where is Josie?” Hector demands of his eldest born, Jaxon. “I don’t know, still at the hospital.” “She better not be, I told her to be back by now.” His thick aura is unleashed upon the room. His usually controlled demeanour slipping. Figures that the
~Josie~ I wake up feeling warm, something I never feel. My mind is stirring but my eyes are still closed, trying to force my mind into submission. My body was still exhausted but my mind was trying to wake up, trying to register something…trying to think. Then I realise…it doesn’t recognise m
“He didn’t say…” “Jaxon…You would tell me?” “Josie, he really didn’t say.” Perhaps that is the case, for Jaxon to have gotten so angry last night, he was using it to hide behind the real issue…he was hurt. Walking into my room I find Cleo sat on my bed scrolling through social media on her phone
~ Knox ~ I observe and don’t comment on Josie entering some kind of weapons vault in the basement of the alpha house. She selects her usual gun but I watch in horror as she empties the bullets and changes them to silver ones. “What are you doing?” I grip her arm firmly, her head whipping to mine
“Oh right, yes Kit and I are both the Alphas of the Clear Waters pack.” I hadn’t heard of this… “I didn’t know…” “Really? I thought it was common knowledge now, where have you been?” She chuckles out before pausing at my frown. “In a cave.” I deadpan. “I’m sorry Runa, I didn’t think…of course.
~ Runa ~ I was losing control, losing focus. Even as I wake up in Jaxon’s bed, his scent surrounding me…I can feel my resolve weakening. I should have gone through with it last night, I would be back at the Silver River pack righting my Father’s past wrongs. I should have gone through with it,
~ Jaxon ~ It is clear she has an aversion to touch, which isn’t wholly surprising given her experienced with the rogues. But I was struggling to rein my wolf in, he wanted to touch her…to feel her soft skin under touch, to kiss her….to claim her. My biggest fear was not being able to keep him
His eyes are watching me, his glare darting between my eyes and my now clear neck. It would take him a mere second to claim me, to take me as his. To sink his teeth into me. I freeze, panic coursing through me as I hold my breath…it would only take a second. But he isn’t that kind of man, I know
~ Runa ~ “Alpha, the evening report.” A male with ash blonde hair that is turning grey by the temples enters into the dining room, a file within his hold as he hands it over to Hector. “Beta Riley, I think my son can take the report tonight.” Hector nods out before Jaxon shifts in the chair next
“Sure there is, you don’t just end up in a rogue camp without a back story. How long were you there?” Jaxon’s Mum pours herself another glass of wine, her eyes watching me like a hawk. “You talk as if it were a holiday park.” I scoff out slightly. “Enlighten me then…” Her voice rings out, a co
~ Runa ~ The aura radiating off the man before me was palpable, he was an intense individual. His aura dark, powerful. If I thought Alpha Darnell and the bitch, Medea, were intense…they were a walk in the park compared to my next target. His aura, when I was strangling his brother, threaten
…. “I should have informed you the moment I knew she was awake, this is my fault.” Jace stands by the bedroom door, Josie next to him as she once again has used her healing abilities on my mate. “She had been captured by a rogue camp, beaten for I don’t know how long…she was just scared. If it’s
~ Jaxon ~ “Jace!” Cleo’s desperate cry wakes me from the pathetic sleep I finally allowed my body to cave into. I should have known I wouldn’t be able to rest. She clutches at her chest, her frantic cry waking the entire household, most of us having fallen asleep downstairs whilst taking it i
