Anja UlvenHappy Monday! Now that Gina and Jericho are finally together, and away from Silas, what do you think will happen? Will she trust him, or run? Will she tell him the truth, and do you think he'll accept her if she does? Much Love, Anja <3

JERICHO Giovanna looked so peaceful and relaxed, but it was obvious the moment she began to wake up. Tension returned to her face as she slowly emerged from her unconscious state. Based on what the beta and gamma told me, I was prepared for her to wake up in a state of panic. Gently taking her hand in mine, I prayed that the sparks of the mate bond would help to sooth and relax her as she came to. “Giovanna, I’m here.” I whisper as I rub small circles on the back of her hand with my thumb. A few seconds later her eyes blink open in confusion. I give her a few seconds for her eyes to adjust, and when she sees me she gasps and sits up quickly. Immediately she puts her free hand to the back of her head as she winces in pain. A low growl slips from my throat as I remember Gamma Emmitt saying he had to knock her out to bring her here. If we weren’t still under threat from Silas and his warriors, I would kick his ass for injuring my mate, but I know that even if we have the numbers

GINA My mind felt groggy, and I was in a haze as I slowly woke up. Where am I? My eyes refused to open, and I was struggling to remember what happened last. There was a tingling sensation in my hand, combined with the subtle warms of fire. The sensation began to move in circles across the back of my hand. “Giovanna, I’m here,” a smooth voice whispers. I know that voice. Why do I know that voice? My eyes finally cooperate and blink open. I’m looking at a handsome face that feels very familiar. Suddenly, everything comes flooding back to me. My mate, the red wolf, running through the forest trying to gain my freedom, and then I was knocked out. Quickly sitting up, I instantly realize was a mistake, and the back of my head throbs. Wincing, I raise my hand to rub the spot when I hear my mate growl. “Are you alright?” he asks as he lifts his free hand to gently touch my head. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just a small bump.” I whisper as I begin scanning the room to see who else is her

JERICHO After the alpha reinstated me as a member of the pack, they finalized the plans for all possible scenarios for the upcoming battles. The finalized battle plans were shared with all the warriors, and then we waited to hear from the scouts. Wild animals are smart. They can sense when danger is near, and while our wolves are predators, we don’t hunt often enough to cause this kind of silence in the forest. It feels like all the creatures have abandoned the forest, which can only mean that our enemies are drawing closer. Minutes later I see the alpha’s eyes shift as he receives a mind-link, and his entire body stiffens. Alpha Aleksandr mind-links all the warriors at once to let us know that the enemy forces have split into two and will be attacking from opposite sides. Thankfully, we have a plan for that. When the wolves broke through the tree line, there wasn’t a clear leader, but we all moved into formation and prepared to meet them head-on. Some of us are in wolf form,

JERICHO They grey wolf lunged at our alpha while he was distracted getting the other wolf off his back, but his father, the former alpha, was able to intercept the attack. Unfortunately, he put himself in a poor position to do it, and the grey wolf suddenly had his neck. After the former alpha’s death, Alpha Aleksandr went on a rampage and decimated the enemy troops that were closest to him before coming back to his senses. When his rage had subsided, he dropped to his knees, putting the battle on hold while the opposition scrambled for any sort of leadership and direction. Someone among their ranks must have come up with a plan because a rumble of growls began, and then quickly ceased. It only took a moment to realize the reason, several other alphas from a nearby packs had arrived to aid the Silver Eclipse pack in the battle. There was Crescent Moon, Blood Moon, and Lunar Eclipse all present. Showing up a bit sooner would’ve been helpful, but I know we shouldn’t complain, and

GINA The house that the beta led us to was older and a little rough looking, but I instantly fell in love with it! I never dreamed that I would get to live in a fairytale style cottage with a white picket fence. The sun was just coming up, painting the sky behind the house is beautiful shades of orange and yellow. The best part, though, was the yellow door, which almost perfectly matched the shade of yellow streaked across the sky. Yellow was my mother’s favorite color, and while our front door wasn’t yellow, the back door was painted yellow on the inside. Mom said it brightened up the kitchen, especially on rainy days. It was one of the few things I remembered about her. She always used to call me her sunshine. As I slowly approached the house, I’m flooded with memories of my mother that I didn’t even know were hidden somewhere in the back of my mind. I glanced at the flowers in the flower bed and flash to a memory of my mother gardening in our front yard. I was only around
Going Rogue Chapter 59
JERICHO After leaving the pack house, we headed back to the little cottage provided to us. I was very aware of the guards who were keeping an eye on us from a distance, but as long as they didn’t intrude, I would ignore them. Obviously, I still need to prove myself to Alpha Aleksandr before he will fully trust us and allow us free reign of the pack lands. Although he allowed me to rejoin the pack to help with the battle, my mate is technically still a member of Silas’ pack. She will need to reject and leave his pack before she can join Silver Eclipse. As we walked along the path to the clearing, I kept turning all these thoughts over in my head. I know there are still things that Giovanna hasn’t told me. She’s holding back, and I’m not sure if it’s from distrust, or fear, or something else, but we need to talk about it. She was walking quietly beside me, and she seemed comfortable enough even though we didn’t speak. Maybe she was deep in thought as well. I casually brushed m

JERICHO Since I’m unsure what the gamma wanted me for, I decided to quickly change before heading to the training grounds. I quickly grabbed a pair of athletic shorts and a t-shirt from the laundry room and trade out my jeans and dress shirt for the more casual outfit. Arriving at the training grounds five minutes earlier than I promised, I have a few moments alone to think about what I might have been called here for. I know the Alpha and Luna are still busy at the pack house receiving condolences from all the pack members who are grieving the loss of our previous alpha. Gamma Emmitt is in charge of the training and warriors, so my best guess is that this has something to do with either training or the prisoners who are currently overflowing from the various holding cells that are scattered around the territory. It only takes a couple minutes for the gamma to appear, and I’m thankful that he’s so punctual. “Hello, Gamma.” I greet him with a smile and a nod. “Hey, Jericho. So

GINA I hadn’t realized how exhausted I was until Jericho left me alone in the cottage. After he took off for the training grounds I contemplated getting up and cleaning a bit, but I just couldn’t seem to force my legs to cooperate. I resigned myself to taking a short nap and then I’ll get up and do some cleaning while exploring the rest of this house. When my eyes opened it was barely light out, and I thought I’d done a great job of taking a short nap, but the moment I felt Jericho’s heavy arm draped over my waist, and smelled his sandalwood and Irish whiskey scent, I realized that my short nap must have actually been hours. Now that I’m paying attention, I feel significantly more rested. It must be dusk. My eyes scan the room for a clock of some sort so I don’t have to get up and disturb my mate. He must be even more exhausted than I was. He had to take off and work on something while I got to lay here and sleep. My eyes stop when I notice a beautiful bouquet of flowers sit
