Connor sure is out for blood. Do you think he'll ever get the better of Blake and his strong pack? Read on to find out...
Blake’s Hunters came back with huge grins on their faces. “And what are those smiles all about?” Asked Jax as he exited Blake’s cabin, just in time to witness the Hunters arrive back to the compound. “Oh, do we have a story for you and our Alpha!” Said the leader of the Hunters. He and Jax made their way back into Blake's office. Jax was eager to hear the news. Blake sat at his desk pouring over maps of the forest and the various compounds. He liked to know where his enemies were at all times. He liked to be ready in case he needed to attack. He looked up to see a wicked grin on both Jax's and the lead Hunter’s faces. “And what are those grins all about? What happened out there” Asked Blake with a smile on his face. Blake sat back down in his chair and waited to hear all about the morning run. He was dying to know what had happened. The happy faces of Jax and the Hunter leader had him intrigued. “You’ll never guess who we met in the forest on our run today?” Said the leader. He
Blake looked up from his desk where he was signing business documents. “Yes, I’ve called you here for a very important reason.” Blake sat forward at his desk with his hands steepled in front of him. “As you are aware by now, we have a new member in the pack, Amelia. I’m not sure if you know her story?” “Yes, Alpha. I heard that she’d been bitten by a Rogue while out at the stream in the forest. How scary that must have been for her. I know that she feels all alone and seems to keep away from everyone else except her mother, Jax, and Catherine, one of our Salutaries which she’s befriended.” Chloe made it her mission to always know what was going on in the pack and who was locking heads with who. “She is going to be a special case. Yes, she has been bitten but we’re still not sure if she’ll turn. By the looks of how fast her would is healing, I think there is a good chance that she’s already turning. I’ve noticed a change in her appearance as well. She is looking much stronger than wh
Day three of Amelia’s stay at the compound was her first sparring lesson with Chloe.Amelia awoke to the sound of pups playing just outside their cabin. She loved hearing them play-fight and giggle. It always lightened her heart.“So, today’s the big day,” said Lucia as Amelia sat down at the breakfast table, “today your training begins.” Lucia was happy for Amelia. She was also shocked that Blake had given her her own mentor. Chloe was the best you could find and Lucia felt that Amelia was in good hands.“Yes, today is the big day…” answered Amelia and Lucia could see that something wasn’t right with her daughter. She didn’t seem excited at all. She seemed apprehensive and unsure of herself.“What’s wrong? Aren’t you feeling well?” Lucia tried to pry the reason for Amelia’s mood out of her but got no response.Amelia eventually threw her head into her hands and sobbed.Lucia was at her daughter’s side within a second. “What is going on, Amelia? You need to talk to me.”Amelia simply
Amelia had been gone from the human world for a few days now and was due for a shift at the library. She had already called to cancel two shifts and she didn’t want to lose her job. The job didn’t pay much, but it was her way of independence. Amelia woke up, got dressed, and kissed her mother on the cheek before leaving the compound to get to work on time, she hated hurrying. She had to admit that she was a bit afraid to walk through the forest by herself, thoughts of her attack were still fresh in her mind, but she wouldn’t let anyone else know about it. She’d hate for them to see her as a weakling. ‘The little pup who’s too afraid’. She squared her shoulders and entered the forest…praying all the way. On clearing the forest Amelia looked down to make sure that her shoes were clean from the loose grass and wiped the front of her dress down, just to make sure it too was clean and presentable. Amelia’s mouth watered as she walked past the town bakery. Mrs. Brown sure knew how to ba
Amelia slowly turned around to face the front door of the library and watched him stalk inside, straight toward her. His smell got stronger the closer he got. It reminded her of the day that he was a wolf and stalked her in the forest. Only this time was worse for she knew what he was. A monster. How had he known where to find her? It must have been her Jasmine scent, damn wolves with their heightened scent. He was in human form, but the stench of him would never leave her mind. Nothing about that day would. He walked toward her with a sly grin on his face. “Well well well, here we meet again.” Amelia wanted to smack the smirk off of his face, but there were people around so she needed to control her emotions. It wasn’t the time or place for that now, but Amelia wished that she’d one day be able to scare him as he scared her. “What do you want?” whispered Amelia as she looked around to make sure that no one else had noticed him enter. Even though she smelt him, no one else would ha
Jax made his way to Blake’s cabin. He was pissed that Amelia’s life was in danger. He knocked rapidly on Blake's door and Blake said for him to come in. By the look on Jax’s face, Blake could see that something was amiss. “What happened?” were his first words because he hadn’t seen Jax as worked up as he was before. “Come sit down and take a breath,” said Blake because he could see that Jax was about to explode. “He had the audacity to visit her at work and called her ‘his little pup’!” Jax was red in the face. It took all that he had within him not to take Blake’s desk and break it in half. Jax sat down and took hold of the arms of the chair as he tried to ground himself, and he heard the splintering of wood. “Sorry, I’ll replace your chair,” said Jax. He just couldn’t control his rage. It had for once gotten the better of him. Blake had never seen Jax like that before. He’d never reacted that way over the security of any pack member, not even one of the head Betas. “We simply
“Thank you for standing up for me,” said Amelia as she looked at Jax with a look of guilt. “I really feel bad that so much fuss is being made over this. I’m sure that he’d have left me alone at some point. That or killed me.” She stood fiddling with her hands, nerves getting the better of her. Jax’s heart stopped when he thought of the second statement that Amelia had made. ‘If he killed me’. It would have been his worst nightmare come true. He couldn’t afford to lose her now. Not after he’d just found her. Not after she’d already stolen his heart. The members of the compound dispersed and went back to their business. All of the excitement was over. Amelia still stood glued to one spot. She didn’t know if she could move. It was as if she’d become a statue standing near the exit of the compound. She was prepared to stand there all night until the Hunters returned with news of the rogue's capture or death. “Why don’t you go home and get some rest?” asked Jax with a look of concern o
The Hunters returned with a look of satisfaction on their faces. The first to meet them at the gate was Jax. He had been sitting on tenterhooks for their return. “And? What happened?” asked Jax, praying that they’d found him. “He tried to get smart and enlist the help of six additional rogues, but we took them out. He of course ran away with his tail between his legs,” laughed Sly, as he patted his men on the back. “Did you find him?” asked Jax, knowing how fast a rogue can get away if he needed to. “He tried to run, but you know us…he didn’t stand a chance.” Sly saw the relief on Jax’s face and it made him feel even prouder of his men. He was happy that he could do at least that for Jax. Jax had been so good to him and his men. “I took him down, boss. I obviously first played with him like a rag doll, but I eventually put him out of his misery. There is no way that he’ll be bothering Amelia anymore. I can promise you that!” “Thank you, boys,” said Jax as he shook each and every
