Thank you all for reading!
Grabbing a towel, I wiped my face off. The heat was already starting to get up there and the humidity wasn’t helping. I had just finished my workout and now it was time to look into where my men were at. “Sarah!” Dax called from behind. “What’s up?” I stopped and waited for him to catch up. He looked so damn sexy. It was hard to keep my focus. “I am going to finish up here and head back to my pack for a bit. I should be back by supper.” “No worries. Do what you need to do. I have training today and I’m sure dad will want his own training in.” I said wearily. That won’t be fun. “Yeah, I would prefer to be here for that, in case something happens…” Dax said, frowning. “Don’t know what to tell you there. You still have your own work that needs done. I will text you when we are going to start?” I offered as a compromise. “I guess that will have to do. Still don’t like it.” “Noted.” I said. I turned to leave, but he grabbed my arm. Pulling me back to him, Dax wrapped his arm ar
I was so pissed at Jason for that. Who does he think he is to treat another person like that? I am going to have to find Mila and make sure she is finding some good friends and fitting in. I was so mad that I didn’t even knock as I walked in to my parent’s office. “Sarah! What are you doing here?” My mom dropped some papers. She dove down hurriedly to get them. “Oh, I’m sorry! Let me help you!” I felt bad for startling her. “NO!” she yelled. It made me stop instantly and look scared. She was feeling pretty frazzled. “I’m sorry, but no thank you. I got this. Actually, why don’t you head down to the training building and I will have your dad meet you? I will be there shortly.” She said it nicely, but I knew it wasn’t a choice. I didn’t understand what was going on with her. “Um, okay?” I said. Turning around, I shut the door and was completely confused by what had just happened. It wasn’t like mom to not let me handle something or keep something from me. Usually, she wants me to
It was over before it really began, but the burn was forever lingering in my mind. The zebra wood desk served as a good spot to prop my feet up as I analyzed over what happened. It was a very quick burn, like just a peck. Maybe she jumped him and he was feeling pretty angry at the moment. The only way to really stop girls from coming on to him was to finally mate with him and announce our mating with the world. My computer dinged, signaling I had an email that just came through. My L-shaped desk was my dad’s design. The Zebra wood was mine. I loved the contrast of the colors, but the smell of the wood was horrible. We had to stain it to keep the smell from penetrating all the surfaces of my office. I had chosen to go with a lighter grey color scheme in my office as most offices are dark browns and neutrals. I went with a light grey and blue fabric couch and chairs with dark blue accents around. Instead of a desktop computer, I went with a 2-in-1 laptop that I could take with me since
The next morning, neither Dax nor I really spoke to each other. We took turns in the bathroom and getting dressed for the day. It was going to be another hot one, so I chose a grey short sleeve cotton sundress with white sneakers as we were going to go visit the stadium. Dax put on khaki shorts with a white polo. He styled his hair back with gel and put on a pair of nice sneakers. I hadn’t told him he could put his stuff in my closet yet, but I didn’t mind if he did. I’m not sure what I was holding out for. It just seemed so permanent. He didn’t ask to do it either, and it just felt like he was a temporary guest. Walking to the dining room, we went through the buffet line and got breakfast before sitting down. No one was at the head table, so we were able to continue our silent morning. A few members came up to me to say hello, but that was it. Dax waited patiently for me to finish my sausage and eggs before taking out plates back to the kitchen and we headed up to my dad’s office.
CLICK! The sound of a gun being cocked made my whole body stiffen. Turning slowly, I see a man with his hand over Tatina’s mouth and a gun to her head. “Welcome Princess Sarah. I was wondering if you would figured out my message.” I couldn’t believe it. Not only did we not hear him, he got her away from me. He didn’t even have an aura that I could sense. “I’m surprised to see you here, Grant.” I straighten up my back as I tried to show my authority. “Mom?” I tried to mind-link, but it wasn’t going through. The static was too much. My body was vibrating as it kept absorbing all the surrounding energy. I knew it was a matter of time until I blew. But I couldn’t do it quick enough with Dax touching me. Slowly, I stepped away from him. Grant didn’t seem to notice, but Dax kept looking at me, worried. “It wasn’t a hard message to figure out. I was more curious if mommy would let her precious baby out of the palace.” “She has never kept in inside the palace.” “True, but you are no
"Hold on to it, don’t let go.” Nina said. Her eyes were full of tears as she looked at me, begging me to keep her daughter alive. “I’ll never let go.” I said stubbornly as I turned away from her and walked to the window. I had a firm grip on the one thread that was left. The one that was formed when I bit her. I took that moment away from her, but it kept her alive. I hope she forgives me. I betrayed her trust. “She will forgive you.” Nina said from behind me. I didn’t bother to acknowledge her. I knew it was rude of me, but right now, I didn’t give a damn. It took a solid two hours before we heard anything. “Queen Nina?” The doors opened, and the doctor walked through. Nina jumped up and ran to the doctor. “How is she?” “She is barely hanging on. You two can go see her, but that’s it. The next 24 hours will let us know.” He said grimly. We followed the doctor through the doors. Each nurse we passed would look at me like I am eye candy, but as soon as I made eye contact, they
The heat from the sun hit my face full force, causing me to wake up. Damn sun, why isn’t it night time yet? Blinking a few times, I glared at the sun that was barely peaking over the trees. “Come on, princess. Time for bed.” Dax tugged on my arm, coaxing me to climb out of the van. “Is dad back yet?” I asked sleepily. “Yes, he literally just got back as well.” Dax answered as he helped me walk. “We need to go to his office first before bed.” He was both shocked and understood. “You need rest. Any discussion can wait till tomorrow.” Dax stated. “No, now!” I tried to sound more forceful, but I doubt I accomplished it. However, he didn’t try to argue further and helped me to my dad’s office. Knock! Knock! “Come in.” Dad sounded exhausted. Once he saw it was me, he instantly jumped up. “Sarah! How are you?” He rushed over and helped me into a chair. “Sore but fine. We need to discuss something.” “You need rest. We can talk tomorrow.” Dad said, frowning, looking at Dax. “Do
“Hello?” Dax answered it, pretty annoyed. “Hey Daxy! I just wanted to let you know that I am planning a surprise party this we-” “Daisy, why the fuck are you calling me and what number are you calling me from? You know what? It doesn’t matter. Unless you are dying, don’t call me. You can check the bulletin board for events that are happening in the pack for this weekend, as we already have something planned. Feel free not to show up.” CLICK! “What is the planned for this weekend?” I asked, not even hiding me listening in on his conversation. “Just regular pack activities, nothing very special.” Dax’s body stiffened and his vague answer annoyed me. “The weekend is two days away…” I said, leading him. “Well, since today is basically over, it is one day away.” “Okay, fine, but what is it?” I asked. “A backyard bonfire thing. Just a party to lighten the mood for the pack.” It was a complete lie but I chose to let it go. I will see what I can do about figuring it out. “Well, le
