Thoughts, curiosities, comments? I love how interactive you all always are. Drop a shiny blue gem if you enjoyed the fight. Meeting with Veronica is up next.
BRYNN “Would you like anyone to join us to visit Veronica?” Alpha Theo asked once training was over. His question caught me a little off-guard actually. It was like when he said Jackson could come to the office last night to discuss Veronica. He gave me a choice. On one hand, having someone with us might act as a buffer. On the other hand, I needed to get used to being around him since we were in the same training group. I still could not wrap my “That’s not necessary. I need to shower and change. Do you want to meet back at the packhouse in an hour?” I asked. “See you then,” he said giving me a soft smile before taking off for the packhouse. I ran home because I needed extra time to cool down in the second cold shower of the day. I was beginning to see a damn pattern. Putting those assholes in their places really pumped up my adrenaline, the look in his eyes when he complimented me only intensified what those words did to me, and then watching how sexy he was when he sparred onl
BRYNN The cells were part of a separate building behind the packhouse. I had never been there, so I was curious to see what it was like. It was a large stone building with security cameras facing every direction. There was a keypad near the door, but Theo stopped in front of the camera. A buzzing sound rang out, and the door opened. ‘Security here is very tight for a reason. You either have to be let in by the guard or enter the code to get in. Said code changes on a weekly basis. We’ve never had any security breaches but want to make sure that remains a reality,’ he explained. ‘That’s a brilliant deterrent. Are you alerted if an incorrect code is entered?’ He flashed me a smirk and nodded. I was glad that we were able to be civil towards one another. We were practically strangers, but it seemed that we got along well. Taking the rejection out of it entirely, I could see how we definitely could have been friends. Perhaps we could in the future. ‘Zen is very funny. He’s not a chee
BRYNN My nightmares were always the exact same. It was the night my mother was brutally killed in front of me. However, it was a little bit different this time even though it had been the exact same for seven long years. She was wearing a necklace – one that looked like an exact replica of my own. How had I noticed that before? Her eyes held mine, and her hand clasped around the necklace. ‘Pay attention,’ she mouthed. What should I pay attention to though? She was hauled up by the asshole. I was not seeing this through the lens of a scared child this time. It was through my own eyes and adult understanding. “You’ll never get what you seek,” my mother told him. ‘I love you,’ she mouthed. I watched as her hand crushed the crystal in her necklace. The black dust flew towards me, encasing my entire body. It felt as if my body was floating on a cloud one moment but gently landed on the ground outside the packhouse the next. My lungs gasped for air the moment my eyes popped open. I s
THEO I had no idea what was going on when Brynn woke me up, saying that she was at my door. I was not prepared for the sight of her standing in front of me in a dress that did little to hide her perfect figure. However, what stopped me from fully appreciating the goddess that stood in front of me was that she looked so rattled that I knew something serious had happened. My heart broke for her as she explained to me what had happened to her mother. It was no wonder that she had nightmares. It also angered me that she spent seven years believing that there was something more going on, but nobody believed her. I could not even begin to imagine what that did to her. She had to face it all alone. Then she moved on to explain about what had happened tonight that rattled her so much. I would be honest that I was a little skeptical about the necklace until she went on to prove how it worked. There was no more skepticism found inside of me at all. To know that Veronica’s betrayal went even
BRYNN I had no idea what I expected Alpha Kade and Luna Elle to be like, but they were extremely welcoming. Luna Elle had this calming demeanor about her. Moira and I felt at peace while in her presence. She was positively gorgeous with her porcelain skin, long wavy black hair, and a figure to die for. Alpha Kade was well over six feet with a solid Alpha physique, broad shoulders, and massive muscles. Tattoos littered his exposed skin just like Theo’s did. Between the two, Theo was definitely sexier, but that was just my own opinion. I was certain that Luna Elle would think the opposite. We were treated with more hospitality than I ever imagined receiving in another pack’s territory. Luna Elle gave us maps of the packhouse and territory so that we could know how to get around if we wanted to explore. There were no restrictions placed on us, and she made sure to tell us that everyone would be more than happy to help us get places. Then they set us up in a suite with two bedrooms be
BRYNN According to Dante, the nightmare I had was a vision, but it gave us at least a couple of months. Apparently, my amulet was what allowed it to happen. Did it mean that the dream I had of Theo was also a vision? It felt just as real. Watching him die in the vision was enough to shatter me. I had never felt so fucking helpless, and I swore that I felt the bond snap. Devastation tore through me in that moment. When he woke me up from the vision, I wasted no time clinging onto him. I felt safe in his arms, and I reassured myself that he did not die. However, there was one undeniable truth though. I could not lose him. ‘You’ll never lose me, Brynn. I’m by your side for however long you’ll have me.’ His words kept repeating over and over in my head. Did he actually mean them though? I could not handle it if they were a false promise. I would not survive it if he turned his back on me again. I always prided myself on my strength, but he made me feel weak because of everything that
THEO It had broken me when we had our talk on the couch because I was forced to see the true depth of the pain that I caused her. I had hurt her so fucking badly, and it gutted me to see those tears. However, the talk was cleansing for the both of us. I had been surprised when she asked me to stay with her, but I was even more surprised when she let me hold her while she slept. I had never felt as complete in my entire life as I did right then. It was hard for me to think about going back to the pack because of the danger that lurked within Dark Moon’s borders. However, I would keep her safe one way or another. I would destroy anyone who tried to harm her. The good news was that Dante, a guy named Chris, and a Light Fae named Pylorna would be there to help. Dante’s gift let him see what the eyes could not and would be the best option to sniffing out our traitors. Our last day in Nightshade was spent around the pack. We even rode dragons. Nothing could compare to that experience. Di
THEO I woke up just in time to turn my alarm off before it woke Brynn up fully. One thing that I loved about her was that she definitely enjoyed cuddling while she slept. However, it was a double-edged sword because having her sexy little body unknowingly grinding on me did not help to keep myself under control. I smiled down on her sleeping face and loved how perfectly she fit in my arms. This would be something that I would never tire of and hoped that she kept doing. I pressed a chaste kiss on her soft lips. “Brynn, baby, it’s time to wake up,” I said softly. “Lies,” she whispered, squeezing her eyes shut tightly. “If you’re not out of bed in the next sixty seconds then I’ll take it super fucking easy on you during our match,” I warned her. She pushed me out of bed and dove off my side of it, running into the bathroom faster than I had ever seen someone move before. I was not even mad that I hit my head on the wall. My girl was something else alright. I shook my head and went
