A secret message I eject my card and try the other cash machine. It must be having a moment. You hear about computers having glitches all the time. I repeat my actions on the other machine only to find the sum of money in my account is still there. Crumbs…if I wasn’t such an honest person I wouldn’t say anything but someone has messed up here and they might have a family to feed. Hard to do without a job! I walk up to the bank teller who is a she-lycan, dressed very professionally with a smooth tight bun and an even tighter smile. “Excuse me, there seems to be an error on my account?” Yet again I am stared at for being only a she-wolf. She puts a hand out to me basically telling me to hand my card over. Erm…rude! She takes my bank card and types in some numbers on her keyboard, I’m assuming my bank account number. Her eyes widen when she, no doubt, reads my bank balance. “What seems to be the problem?” Her tone changes into a slightly more helpful bank teller. Ah, so she was all
In Heat. “I’m telling you Lance, something isn’t right. A pack princess shouldn’t be here!”After stripping the bed and remaking it, I planned to take a shower. I turned on the water but left my clothing on the chair by the side of my bed. Still not comfortable to parade around in just a towel, I let the shower run as I re-enter the main room to grab my clothes. Blake had gone out for a morning run so I was surprised to hear her voice.“Also, she’s suffering from trauma!” “What do you mean?” Lance’s low sexy voice questions his cousin. “She has nightmares every night. Have you not noticed why she falls asleep early? She prevents herself from sleeping to avoid the nightmares!” I hear Blake’s hushed tones from the courtyard. She must have thought I was still in the shower. “Maybe you shouldn’t go to the Hansen pack?” Blake says to Lance. “Why?”“I don’t know, our girl seems to be in self-destruct mode.”“Maybe I’ll tell Axel to stay here!?”“Axel?” Blake moans. “Yes Axel! He cares
Cake shop sanctuary.“Lance?” I plea to him to control himself. “I said RUN!” He screams angrily at me. Yet he said he would never be angry at me. A whimper leaves my wolf as we move just in time as Hong crashes out of the canteen and tackles Lance to the ground. That should buy me some time, but where on earth was I meant to run to? My legs started to move towards the front of the training facility. I could hear both Lance’s and Hong’s wolves howling at my increasing distance. I run towards the town, hoping I can find somewhere open to hide in. Maybe the coffee shop will be open by now. I continue to run at full speed glancing over my shoulder every now and again just to make sure I am alone. All of a sudden a sharp pain creeps up my lower abdomen and I can tell my heat is now on full whack. But it’s never been this painful before! So painful in fact that I collapse to the ground rolling around in pain. The shooting pain then switches to my lower back and my wolf whimpers again but
Angel “Aida? Aida angel?” I hear a voice call to me. “A few more minutes Mum!” I reply. Mum always called me her little angel. I hadn’t slept this deeply for such a long time. “Aida?” A huskier voice calls my name and kisses my check. My eyes open at the touch and it takes me a minute to remember where I am. I’m in Dillon’s and Leanne’s love nest apartment above the coffee shop still and I’ve embarrassingly fallen asleep on Lance’s chest. I look up at him and he is softly smiling down at me. I feel a tingle on my tummy and I look down to find my T-shirt has risen up slightly. His hands are wrapped around my stomach and his thumb is drawing circles on the exposed part of my tummy. “We should head back. Blake has constantly been in my head since I got here.” He chuckles. “She’s quite taken with you!” He adds.“I’m quite taken with her too!” I smile back at him. “The she-wolves at your pack must be missing you!” He comments. Now the questions started! I knew they would come, if not
Trying to keep the past in the past. As we made it back to base it was nearing the end of lunch time and I could make out most of the lycan’s eating in the canteen through the windows.“Let’s just grab a drink okay?” Axel turns to me knowing I wanted to stay locked up in Building B until tomorrow. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his direction. He placed an arm around my shoulder as we entered the canteen. You know that moment when a loud chatting noise was free-flowing, then you enter the room and silence fills the air? Yep, this is exactly what happens as we enter the room. They were all clearly talking about me and my embarrassment went to new levels. Well, jokes on them, I’ve ways been the black sheep. I’ve always been looked at differently. I know exactly what would help divert my attention in this awkward situation. French fries! They always know what to do. I walked towards the kitchen area to see Spike standing behind the counter. “What you doing?” I ask stunned. “H
Even more money! Bored! Bored and bored! It had only been a few days and I was already relying on Blake, Axel, Tucker and Lance to keep me occupied. Reliance! I didn’t like relying on people and gave myself a big ticking off. I’d eaten so much recently, that I decided to skip breakfast and would make up for it at lunch. Yet again I was tidying up Blake’s side of the room. She must think a cleaning fairy tidies her bed all the time. This girl was amazing yet a bit of a slob. By lunchtime, Blake still hadn’t returned and without a mobile phone, I couldn’t text her, even if I had her number, to see if she was okay. I headed to the canteen, starving and ready to over-indulge into today’s menu. As I queued up, I noticed that Nadine was back in the kitchen along with two other women. I served myself a bowl of soup, a bread roll, a bowl of French fries…yes really, and a hot dog. I really was hungry. As I grabbed a bottle of water from the drinks fridge I feel a small hand touch my arm. I
Accustomed to mind pain.Hong and I freeze in our tracks looking at the angry five lycans baring their teeth to us. Lance’s eyes turn from their hypnotic brown-orange to the hot molten lava red that burn into my head. Axel, Tucker and Mav are just as angry, as they continue to growl at us. I look to Blake who has crossed her arms in front of her chest, dropped her hip and tapping a foot against the ground. “I told you to stay here!” She scolds me. I didn’t realise I was a child that needed to report my whereabouts. “I skipped breakfast waiting and then decided to have lunch. I then needed to pop into town!” I was really taken aback by their attitudes and the anger radiating off them. They all had very strong lycan auras. “Town is shut on a Sunday! Why did you leave?” Axel shouts at me with his hands clenched either side of his legs. “It doesn’t matter!” I respond trying to brush it off. “It clearly does! You left a secure environment during a security breach!” Mav retorts. “I di
Skirting around the facts. I turn off the water from the shower and hear raised voices in the next room, where Blake and I sleep. I don’t have the energy for this right now so I quickly get changed and with my hair still wet, climb out of the bathroom window. I wanted to use one of the computers in the break out room to look at apartments and research possible areas. I don’t plan to drive at any time during my life, so it would need to have good train and bus links so I could still get around. As I placed my feet down on the ground outside I hear a throat being cleared behind me. I turn around just as I close the window to see the Alpha looking at me. “My office now!” He orders at me. Like a naughty school girl I follow him with dripping wet hair, through the courtyard into a building I hadn’t entered before. Through door after door and up a flight of stairs, we finally entered an office which I presume was the Alpha’s. “Take a seat!” The Alpha points to a small brown leather sofa
