~ Josie ~ I was all about today. Today was going to be the best day. Today, I was returning to work at the hospital and I couldn’t wait. I was awake even before warrior training, leaving Knox still asleep in my bed…his arms reaching for me in his sleep as I quietly slipped away. I wouldn’t be
~ Josie ~ “Woah, Josie what did you do?” Jace spots both Knox and I, and heads towards us, with that teasing glint in his eye. “Nothing…why?” My eyes are locked on the front door, intrigue overwhelming me as I want to go inside and put an ear to the office door. It would be pointless, the alpha of
“I can’t always be what other people need of me.” He mutters almost to himself but I hear it. There’s a sadness in his voice, something that I wouldn’t expect from Jace. “I get that, but next time stay and tell us…rather than giving us all the cold shoulder.” My head whips to the front door as I
~ Josie ~ “All fighters to the meadow…NOW!” Dad commands through the pack-link, his aura thick and heavy. I move, taking a step closer towards the location of the scene, towards my family, to Lobo…who needs me. Hopefully, it is one or two rogues that have penetrated through the borders in a desp
My sight, with my wolf now, is clearer. I can see everything with clear vision, even at this distance. My heart sinks when the naive hope that it was a handful of rogues disappears. It’s a swarm, an invasion of fully kitted gun bearing hunters. Our wolves are taking them down but not quick enough…b
~ Josie ~ I can hear they are close by, at least one of them in the dining room. Keeping crouched down low, I move behind the furniture, using it as a source to hide behind until the very last moment. They made a mistake coming here, this was my home. I knew every part of this house, every co
~ Knox ~ The bullets were not silver…that at least was something. I watch in horror as a bullet hits Kaia, knocking her to the ground. Images of me holding a weeping Josie flit through my mind. How am I going to tell her…how am I going to break her heart. Only for relief to quickly wash over
“Catch them…we need them alive for questioning.” Hector orders out, as he coughs up blood. I tilt his body to the side only for him to wince out in pain from the stab wound. “Let me help you.” Kaia’s hands are over his face, kisses placed upon his lips. “No.” He orders out. “Get me to the hosp
~ 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
Was Medea here…had she brought me somewhere else. Had she found out that I was working for Alpha Darnell. “I just hope you are into rhyming…” His entire demeanour was amusement, a contrast to my growing murderous approach. I could tell he was an alpha, his aura was vibrating off him, but it was n
~ Runa ~ I can feel something painfully digging into my arm as I slowly wake from a deep sleep. I must have slept awkwardly on the barn floor, the rope forcing its way even further into my wrists. I know my body is numb from the freezing cold because I can’t even feel the hard floor, it feels soft
