~Josie~ That feeling of complete forgetfulness when you open your eyes but your mind hasn’t clicked in yet…that feeling is absolute heaven. As I open my eyes, I find Dad sat next to me on the sofa, my legs on his lap as he flicks through the TV channels. It must be early morning, why were we he
“Have you been up all night?” “Yes and don’t change the subject. I have faith in him.” Then at least one of us has. The fact that he has already gone speaks volumes to me and I actually get it. I don’t think I would stay in a house where I had just dumped someone…I barely hung around long enou
~ Knox ~ This has to be one of the worst motels I have ever stayed in. I picked it because it was off the beaten track and near woods…which if I couldn’t keep my wolf at bay meant I had somewhere for him to escape into. I was very much in human territory right now. As it stands, I’ve been able t
“We launched a search party for her, she was frozen…almost hypothermic. There’s been a miscommunication between the two of you, between what you both want…that happens in relationships. But don’t ever leave the woman you care for alone unprotected in the cold. She collapsed when Lobo and I found her
~Knox~ “Where did you go?” Jaxon grunts, looking over his phone as his question pulls my attention away from the front door. “Uh, just a trash motel. I just needed to reflect before finalising the report.” I respond biting down on my wolf’s need to go after her, he’ll have to wait, even if I grant
“Not yet, I’ve sent trackers out and the warriors have been pushed out a few miles out past our borders. What do you think?” Alpha Hector pauses the footage, placing the lights back on. “What enemies do you have?” I’m fully aware I’m my question is blatant but they have no time to waste. “None!
~ Josie ~ Just concentrate on work, by the time you get home he will have gone. He will have grabbed his clothes, his belongings and exited your life forever. I didn’t expect him to be at the bottom of my stairs this morning, thankfully I wore one of my new outfits…something I bought to make me
“Okay, well I’m working right now…” It’s hard to keep my voice sounding unfazed by his closeness to me as he takes a step into my room. “Josie…” Just the way my name sounds on his lips makes my lower core tremble. Soon he’ll be calling another female in the same way…I can do this…I can get past th
“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
