Jared

“I’m going into town for a few things. Wanna come with? We can get a milkshake.” Chiara says as she leans against my office door way.

“I’m busy at the moment.” I don’t even look up at her.

“I’m only leaving in 15 minutes. If you change your mind, you know where to find me.” She sighs and walks out.

I lean back and sigh as well. The last little while had been hectic. I know Chi is just trying to make it better so I finish my last few papers and head downstairs to meet Chiara.

We drive around town and buy a couple of things before heading to the square with all the restaurants. On our little walk, I feel Flint stirring.

I haven’t felt or heard from him since the day after the fire.

As we pass a fancy restaurant, he snaps to attention.

‘She’s here!’ I howls.

    Today has been a long, hard day. I’m ready to draw a long bubble bath and eat pad Thai and Spring rolls while watching Big Bang reruns after Alessio collects his order. I climb out my car and start unlocking the front door. I feel a body pressed against mine and something cool against my throat. “Hold still.” A deep manic voice sounds in my ear. “I just want the cocaine and no one gets hurt.” I close my eyes and take a breath, thinking of how to get myself out of this situation. He’s positioned himself so I can’t go for the crotch and he’s too tall for me to head butt into his nose. He angles the knife so it pierced my skin and I let out a muffled groan. “Open the door.” He hisses, spit splattering my cheek. I slowly turn the key in the lock and then pause. Hurry up Les, please. He moves the knife further into my skin

    My mother is sober when I fetch her. Which means she throws ever insult and snide remark she can as we drive to the house.I’ve learnt to ignore her. I suppose that’s how I’m so good at ignoring everyone else. My former friend group tried to ‘fix it’ but I shut all of that down very quickly. Chiara and Danika’s group then had their attempt which had the same result. Hadley attempted to ‘collect the date you owe me’ but I turned him down which resulted in a lot of anger, him grabbing me and the two of us fighting in the halls. “Those bruises are very ugly, Freya.” My mother coos from besides me. “How do you expect to find a husband looking like that?” No concern for me. Never any concern for me. Not “is it a boy who did that too you?”, “do we need to file a report against someone?” Or simply “are you okay darling?

    The entire field turns to look at us. The loud mouthed boy looks shocked before he falls to the ground and clutches is bleeding arm, crying. “Anyone else?” I turn completely around to the group of boys who are all silent and shaking their heads. “Right! Gather round and we can start. If you wish to see the pack doctors, go. But know I won’t wait for you or catch you up. The bullet didn’t hit anything vital, it went straight through and because you’re a wolf the bleeding has already stopped and will be healed in a few minutes.” He decided to stay and gathers with the other boys while sobbing. “Let’s start with the basics, how to clean the weapons.” _____________________Jared Everyone stops dead as the gun shot goes off. Flint screams at me to find Faye. We might not be on the best terms right now but she is still my mate and I need to protect her. As we

    Wednesday evening comes quickly because I had a lot of order to prep so I skipped school. The people at my house thankfully made themselves busy outside of the house for the day. Weather it was pleasure or business, I don’t care. So I’m surprised when I have to turn my lights on in my office. “Hey Pix.” Reece walks into my office. “I’m busy.” I don’t even look up from my stack of finance papers. “I’m getting tired of your attitude.” He spits at me. “Then leave me alone. My attitude can’t bother you if you’re not around me.” “You truly are a spoiled brat.” He Scottish accent always gets stronger when he’s angry. “After everything we did for you, I did for you, this is how you treat me?” He stalks towards me. “I owe you nothing.” I sit back in my chair and place my arms on the rests w

    Unknown POV We head through the airport with an aura of ‘don’t fuck with us’. As we walk through the gates, the only person in the place leans on a far wall. If it wasn’t for the copper hair I would’ve missed the slender figure dressed in all black. We head over to her and she pushes off the wall. She almost snarls as I smirk at her. “It’s been a long time, Pix.” “Not long enough.”_________________Faye The drive home is uncomfortable to say the least. Reece drives my car and I give directions. If I’d know it was him coming I would’ve prepared myself better. I recognise most of the men in the party of 10 across the 3 cars from my younger years in Scotland. Most of them in their late 20’s, early 30’s now. All excellent at their jobs. Some of them are as young, if not younger then I am. Those I do
