Third Person Pov
Michael waits , lying down on the floor mattress , pretending to be asleep . He listens intensely for the sign of her slumber .
As soon as her breathing transitions from quick shallow bouts to deep and regular , he raises his head , taking a peak . Her tear stained face seemed to be at peace at last . He resists the urge to growl from frustration .
' How could he do this to his own mate ? ' He thinks in anger , however , he couldn't bring himself to completely blame him . It wasn't because Jace was his Alpha , it was just that Michael understood clearly wolf behaviour and wolf urges . Even he himself hasn't seen wolves who were unclaimed around their mate during a full moon , the results are catastrophic .
Full moon is when the energy , strength and power of the inner wolf spirits is the strongest , it's when they get the opportunity to take control more easily than ever . Control is something Alphas have an inborn scarcity of so he w
Third Person Pov Suddenly there was a knock on the door . " M.. Michael .. Alec ? Are you there ? " Alexis called out with a nervous voice . Alec and Michael look at each other and then at Jace . Her voice seemed to have stirred him awake . ' This is bad ' Michael thinks , but he hopes that it'll be alright . It's morning , the effects of the full moon should wear off by now . Even though it had started yesterday in the morning as well , it was still the only day that would have the most effect on Jace . The next few days should be mostly fine , even though he'll still be slightly on the edge . There isn't enough time for them to rush over and snap his neck again. Jace's neck contorts into it's original position before they get an opportunity to try . His eyes snap open , bloodshot red . Michael and Alec hold their breath , ignoring the further few knocks at their door . " Why the fuck does my ne
Alexis's Pov " Why are you here? " I ask him cautiously , trying to back away with no space to retreat to . I was already at the edge of the bed . " I .. wanted to let you know that you are free to leave if you want after I revive your friend . And you don't have to worry because .. " He sighs with a pause . " I'll never touch you again " The words linger in my head for a while . He'll never touch me again . " How do I know those words have some ground to them ? " Shouldn't I take everything he says with a grain of salt considering that his inner wolf comes out whenever he please and treats me however he wants . And apparently he can't do shit to control him .. And now he is saying with such confidence that he will never touch me again ? Is he aiming for the mountains ? " It's true . I've decided to make a deal with Cade . " He says . I wonder how they communicate , it seems quite intere
Alexis's Pov " We don't have his body . " " WHAT ? " I almost shout . " What do you mean ? " Did Aeron's dad take his body somewhere else ? That seems like a logical explanation. " It disappeared " It disappeared . This was some kind of sick joke right ? 'Dead bodies don't just disappear ' I think bitterly at the fact that I refer to him as a dead body now . " What do you mean ? " I ask carefully and Jace leans in from his side of the bed too , listening intently , probably just as curious as I am yet not as concerned though . " Some of my subordinates were bringing him back , they stopped at the gas station and when they returned his body vanished . " His voice was dead cold as he said it . He seemed to be angry over the ordeal just as Alexis was . After all , even if Dad didn't particularly like Aeron , he was still the son of a man who used to be his best friend . More than that , it was pro
Alexis's Pov I was half asleep when I felt something poking my arm . Thinking it was some kind of insect , I yelp and suddenly get up to turn on the table light right next to the bed . I stare at the bed . There wasn't an insect or anything but there was .. " A fish hook ? " I pick it up in confusion . Before I fell asleep , I was sure this wasn't on the bed . I'm sure it wasn't in the room actually , let alone the bed . What would a fish hook be doing here ? I brush it off and put it on the side table and go back to sleep . It's been a while but it only felt like 5 minutes before my sleep was interrupted again . There was a thud outside the door . It sounded like someone fell and it jolted me awake . I stare at the ceiling , blinded with darkness . " Can you help me please ? " I hear a small young voice of a girl call out from outside . I panic and turn on the light , staring intensely at the door wit
" How come no one else is here " I notice . " T.. that's probably why " Michael points to the fireplace as we walk down the stairs and I follow the direction of his gaze . There was a little girl squatting in front of it , even though there wasn't any fire lit at the moment. The thing that bothered me wasn't this . It was the fact that her body completely glistened under the light , and it was entirely transparent . We could see through her . She's a ghost ? I almost trip and tumble down the stairs but Jace steadies my waist with his hands causing sparks to fly . I grab the railing for support and walk down . The whole time , Michael is gawking at what he sees . I'm afraid he'll fall too . " What in the fuck - " Michael stares . " This is a dream right ? " I rub my eyes and blink a few times but she's still there . " You're a vampire . We are werewolves . Is the existence of ghosts really that shocking ? " Jace co
The next morning I lazily get up , purposely pushing it even though I was awake . I keep my eyes closed and force myself to sleep more , turning over possibly a hundred times . Soon enough I give up and get up from bed .I check the time .9 am.Not bad . I thought it would be 11 am by now .By the time I shower and get ready , it's 11 . I decide to wear a baby blue tank top with dark blue jeans , finishing the look off with my comfortable beige sandals ." Perfect timing " I mutter as I hear the knock on the door . I head over and open it .I stare at Jace standing there . He was wearing a navy blue T shirt with black jeans . All of his shirts seemed to be skin tight and body hugging . Not that it was a bad thing at all , but it was particularly distracting . It made me want to run my hands over his shoulders , feeling the firm muscles underneath . His sleeves were hugging his bulging biceps . I looked at his f
" We need to lose the dude and approach the woman . " I remind them . Clearly the little girl was incredibly scared of the man and I didn't want to talk to the woman in his presence , at least not until I figured out the whole story . We don't know what's going on behind the scenes so it's better to play safe . " How are we going to do that ? " Alec wonders . I get into my thinking mode , which isn't as useful as it should be . I can't think of a way to separate both of them . " I have an idea . " Jace smirks and I look over at him curiously . Jace motions to one of the workers and calls him over to us . Making sure that his voice is out of the couple's hearing range , he mutters .. " Drop this drink on the woman over there . " He says , handing over my milk . Wait a second . Why does my milk have to be sacrificed for this deed ? What about the plethora of drinks present on the food serving table
I don't dare to fall asleep . Better yet , I can't fall asleep would be a more accurate representation of what I'm going through . I am not used to insomnia , usually I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow . After all , sleep is the only escape that I have from the real world . I can finally experience calmness and peace , something I stuggle with in my day to day life . That's no excuse though . I can't sleep away all of my problems . And it seems that in this generation , no one has known peace , I'm not special . I sigh and turn , desperate for a little nap before it hits 2 am . I check the time . It's only 11 PM . Are you kidding me ? I'm supposed to overthink for another 3 hours before it's time ? I whine and shove my face into the pillow . I remember the last time I slept extremely well . It was definitely the first night that we got here , I slept in his strong and large arms that enclosed me , made me feel tin
