Sorry for the wait. I had a root canal done on my day off from work and am barely getting back to finishing up this chapter.
Tara- I frantically stuffed clothes into a small suitcase. As I looked around the room, I knew I wanted to take as little as possible. I didn’t need any reminders of this place or this life. I was a little thrown off when Mason had suggested that Livvy marry Jayce. I knew that there had been some sort of ruse, I was just disturbed by the crudeness of it. And by the fact that Mason would even agree. I didn’t think I could despise him more, but I guess he proved me wrong. I grabbed some toiletries from the bathroom. I made sure to pack my jewelry I brought with me from Creede and a few books my mother had gifted me a few years ago. She had written a touching letter in one of the blank pages that I often read when I was feeling homesick. I grabbed a few clothes, only a few days worth knowing we would probably go shopping when we arrived at Jayce’s penthouse. Satisfied with what I was taking, I went to Livvy’s room. “Mom, what’s going on?” she said, stepping away from her com
Jayce-When Mason made his heinous proposition, I must admit I was furious. The mere fact that someone had rumored this about me, made my blood boil. I was not a pedophile who married little girls. I was livid. But then I thought that maybe this would be a better alternative than murdering him, which ironically made me feel a bit better. I knew taking someone’s life was the type of thing you wouldn’t forget and would probably carry around with you your entire life, no matter how bad or deserving this person was. But I was determined to save Tara’s life. I wouldn’t leave her with him to be potentially killed and risk all the lives she said were at stake. It was better if he were dead.I went along with his plan. A million dollars was pennies compared to my fortune. To be honest, he probably could have gotten a lot more out of me. But I knew he was desperate and a million would clear his name and fuel his pack for a few years. He’d be able to make some investments if he was
Tara-Jayce returned to the room after a while and said our ride was waiting for us. Despite trying to stand on my own, Jayce came and lifted me up into his arms. I knew he was still in a little pain as he winced slightly when he stood upright. Livvy clung to my hand like a life line. I could still feel her confusion and shock. I needed to talk to her as soon as I could.We piled into the black SUV, Livvy climbing in first as Jayce placed me down beside her. He looked reluctant to leave my side as he climbed into the passenger seat. We headed out toward the gates. I looked out the window at the warriors still scurrying around. Everything felt so surreal. The weight lifted from my chest made me feel odd. I guess it would be something I needed to get used to.I no longer had to live in fear. I no longer had to force myself and my wolf to behave in a way someone else demanded from me. Between me and Jayce, I was the Alpha wolf, which made Scar feel a bit strange. I sat nerv
I am so sorry for going MIA on all of you. I have been trying my best to continue on this work, but current life events have proved stressful. After suffering a miscarriage three years ago and since then having been unable to conceive, I am excited to share with everyone that I am now 6 months pregnant with another boy! Due to the unfortunate circumstances of my previous miscarriage, I decided to take a step away from anything and everything that causes stress. Unfortunately, this couldn't include my main source of income which was my job in management at a fast food burger place. That alone is stressful enough. So, this is the reason for the delay in updates. I am truly sorry to all my loyal readers and I hope you understand that although this was a difficult decision, it was both necessary and important for both my mental and physical health. Thank you.
Jaycob-I sat in my usual seat in first period, History class. I pushed my glasses, that seem to keep sliding down my nose, back to the brim. Cursed things, maybe I should have the ear pieces adjusted. “Or just get contacts instead of wearing nerdy glasses,” Jax, my wolf, taunted from my mind.“You know perfectly well my prescription is too strong for contacts, jerk,” I retort as I cut the link.I shifted nervously in my seat as I waited for her to come in. The bell sounded and Mrs. Whitmore closed the door. She began roll call and I kept glancing towards the door, waiting for her to burst through any minute now. I
Jaycob-The thing about Tara is that she was unpredictable. We shared a brief moment of intimacy almost a week ago when I met her under the bleachers and she had been avoiding me all week after that. Or at least it felt like she was, maybe she was just too busy for me. She never spoke to me in class save for the wave of greeting and opted to walk alone to several of the classes we shared together back to back. I was a little hurt by it to say the least and wondered if I had done something to upset her. Part of me craved that interaction with her, however small it was, but I would never push it. I knew where I stood in this world and I knew where she stood, on opposite ends. She was the Alpha’s daughter, an Alpha by blood, like royalty and I was an Omega, a servant. I spent Friday evening doing work around the pack house and Saturday morning trimming hedges which I only volunteered to do so that I could watch as Tara trained. Her father was always so hard on her, but the erect
Tara-I had almost kissed Jayce. Fuck. What the fuck were you thinking Tara?! How could you be such a twit?! I was in my room in the pack house, my tutor was rambling on about how important having a budget and sticking to it was for a pack. I was only half listening, still trying to come down from the high I had felt being so close to Jayce. I cursed myself. I always had this stupid little crush on him since we were kids. I couldn’t explain the logic behind it because from all accounts it didn’t make sense. He was inferior by rank, an Omega. My father had made it clear a very long time ago that I would only be married to someone of equal rank or at the very worst, a Beta. You see, I was an Alpha by default. Both of my parents were of an Alpha bloodline, it was probably the purest bloodline you could get nowadays and my father was adamant about keeping it that way. When he found out I was dating Mason last year, he was elated. He said that it had made things easier for h
Tara-That was way too fucking far, Tara. You have to keep your shit together. You’re only going to hurt him… “You’re riding the bus today, Tara,” my father’s harsh voice brought me out of my sulking. “I don’t see the point keeping me away from someone I’m going to marry anyways..” I muttered as I headed down the hall. “BECAUSE YOU’RE EIGHTEEN TARA, and you live under MY roof!” my father yelled as I exited the pack house. I rolled my eyes. If only he knew half the shit I’ve done…“I think we should see more of him..” A voice in my mind echoed.“Scar?” I replied in pure shock. Scarlet was my wolf. She had locked me out when we found out that we were betrothed. She didn’t like the idea that we would never be able to be with our true mate when we found him, even not knowing if it was Mason or not.“I know for a fact it isn’t that ass-wipe,” she snorted, pacing back and forth.“Where have you been?” well that was a stupid question, seeing as she could never leave my mind, “I’
