GREY“Grey?”I jolt up. The sun burns my eyes and I reach up to shield them. Looking around, I grow confused when I see im in a field. I can feel the warmth of the sun. I see the breeze making the field flowers dance.“Are you ok?”“Who’s there?” I rise to my feet. Walking slowly in a circle. I scan the treeline edge for signs of movement.“I’m here.”I turn in the direction of the treeline. Walking slowly past the first trunks.I hear a tiny giggle echo through the trees.“Who’s there?” I scowl. I’m in no mood to be played with.“Hello.”I spin around and there she is. My face softens. She’s standing in a cute oversized pink sweater. My breath was completely taken away. Her big blue eyes find mine and I’m lost. My hands ache to touch her baby like cheeks. Her soft lips beg mine to kiss them. Desire swirls around in my gut.She’s got a small smile on her face.I look around. “Where am I?”She slowly takes a finger and taps her temple.“You’re doing this?” I step closer.She nods.“How
MIA“So, I think a nice pink and blue color scheme. What do you think?”Sarah’s so pretty. She has blue eyes and blonde hair, but her hair is so much brighter than mine and she’s super sweet. She’s helped me with all kinds of stuff like shopping and decorating. I’m not allowed to leave the place I’m in, so she showed me on her cell phone where the clothes were and we looked at pictures. She says she’s going to give them to her mate to have him buy them for me. I told her I didn’t have anything to trade, but she insisted if I was going to be part of the group, I had to look the part.“Group? There’s more of you?” My brows went up.“Yep. There’s Alexi. She’s wonderful. She has a cool accent too. You know Wren. Then there’s Anna and Sammy. They’re all older than me, but it’s cool. They teach me a lot about being Luna.”“Luna?” I look confused.“Yeah. When we mate to an Alpha, we become Lunas. Except Wren. She’s an Alpha too. The first formal female Alpha. I think that would be so cool, J
MIAI cover my mouth with my sweater sleeve and wrap my arm around myself. We’ve driven for hours. We had to stay in hotel last night. I did get my own room, but I couldn’t go out because there were guards outside.I wandered around the room and looked out the window. We are very high up. The lights were pretty.I curled up in bed and couldn’t help, but cry. I cuddle a pillow and thought of Grey. At first, I couldn’t feel him or hear him. My thoughts were black. My Grey was missing. This made me cry harder. I wish upon wishes that he’d come back then I heard something. Faintly in the black of my mind.Grey was singing badly. It made me giggle with my tears wetting my cheeks. I liked this song. I sat and softly cried while I listened to my Grey so far away.He was making funny sounds to the music and I had to hold back my laugh. I was sad when my mind went black again and my Grey disappeared. I called him back in my mind, but it feels like there’s something in the way. Is he trapped? I
GREY“FFFFUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!” I scream at the black lake. The moon above it is partly covered by clouds. My dress shoes slip in the beach sand as the light of the stars shimmer on the water.I’m full of all kinds of anger.I tip back my big bottle of Jack, pouring whiskey down my throat like it’s my fucking job.I empty the bottle and with a loud Alpha growl, I throw it in to the lake. I stumble to my RAM1500 Sport and grab another bottle.I stumble back to the shoreline and slam my ass in the sand. At this point, I don’t know whether to fucking cry or go on a rampage snapping necks.Even though feeling foxy lady’s feelings was killing me, not feeling them is even worse.With rage, I pull at the bracelet. “Fucking get off!!” I grind out. I pull until I can’t breathe and give up after I see blood. I have to remember I can’t heal right now.I scrub my hands through my hair. The heat burning in me is firing out each and every pour. My dress shirt is so drenched in sweat, you’d think I went
GREY“Argh.” I fall to my knees. The pain and heat are getting to be too much. My heads barely there.Wes picks me up. “Come on, bro. Just a little farther. We’ll get Mia to reject you and you’ll be ok.” He grits at my weight.“I can’t…” I pant. I can barely breathe.“Yes, Grey. You can. Stand up!” Wes struggles.Lucius comes over and grabs my other arm. They both lift me up. “Walk.” Lucius barks.I turn my head. I can barely see him. “Fuck...you.” I say weakly.He smirks. “Come on.” He bounces me, adjusting my arm in his.Wren comes over and picks up my head. She runs her palms around my sweat soaked face. “He’s burning up. We need to hurry.”“Too bad…he’s not…as hot as…me...huh, Wren.” I smile.She smirks. “In your dreams, Grey.” She slaps my cheek and makes my head fall.We walk the last leg and arrive at Mia’s village.“Tay!” Lucius barks.Some people run from the camp to his house. Moments later, Tay comes jogging out. Lucius hands my arm to Wren and they hold me steady.“Lucius?
MIAWe pulled into the giant house driveway. It’s definitely better than the desert house of the Alpha.Sage comes around to my door and opens it. “Come, Mia.” He holds out his hand and I take it.I take in everything. The white stone walls. The Phoenix decorations. The stone steps.People are rushing around to do tasks and meet us.A man runs up the Sage and hands him a paper. “The Nordic pack requests a meeting to discuss the Alliance.”Sage rubs his head. “Damn. I hate the cold. Fine. Tell him I’ll meet him in three weeks time.”“Mia. Let’s get you to your room.” Sage smiles.I hide my face and follow him up the white steps. We walk down a hallway with lots of gold statues and red carpets.He opens a door and leads me in. “I hope you like it.”My jaw almost hits the floor. There’s a white bed with a red flame blanket on it. A giant red and blue bird with wings spread out over it.Red, fluffy carpet on white floors. Red curtains hang in the large windows. The white walls are covered
MIAI sit at my vanity staring at myself in the mirror. I don’t look different, but I feel different.I feel empowered. Fulfilled. I know my purpose now.I raise my hand and place my forefinger and thumb close together. Not touching. Tiny red and blue sparks dance between them. My healing.I look at my arm and trace the scars the Alpha gave me with my fingers.I take my palm and hover it down my arm. Red and blue sparks dance across it. The scars disappear and I smile.Suddenly, I feel strange. I feel pain. I tilt my head in the mirror. My reflections eyes meet mine and I feel heat. It’s stifling. I find it hard to breathe. It’s not mine.“Grey.” I whisper.I close my eyes and see his face. It’s hurting. He’s in pain. He’s covered in sweat. He’s coming. He doesn’t have much time. I feel his heart breaking because mine is too.He needs me, but he needs to know I can’t leave. He won’t be leaving either.I have to connect with him.When I do, I can see and feel his pain. He feels rejecte
GREYI can feel her already. The air is just as thick as it was a year ago. The electricity pricks my skin all over. I step slowly as I approach her door. Her scent swirls around my head. I feel light headed. I can barely breathe as I reach for the knob and turn it slowly to open it.It opens to a huge white and red room. I step in slowly.I search the room and swallow. The pressure is intense. She’s everywhere. I’m being pulled across the room to the red curtains floating in the breeze.I slowly walk toward them, I reach out and part them. Stepping through.My breath is sucked in as I see her. My air is gone. She’s so goddamn gorgeous. My skin is on fire. I’ve spent a year chasing this woman and now she’s in front of me. Leaning on the balcony railing. Her strawberry scent filling the air around me. I don’t know what to say.I walk up to her and she stares at me with those big, beautiful brown eyes. I’m lost. Completely lost.I step closer. The bond snapping back and forth. I only wa
