“Katies POV” After finishing our plates, I clear them off in my small trash can tucked under my sink. The clinking of the dishes echoing in the silence of the small cabin. Placing the plates into the sink I turn around and look at Jax, he’s staring at me waiting for me to start talking. The silence stretching further into the night like millions of stars that cover the sky. Taking a deep breath and sighing I walk back over to the table and take a seat across from Jax, him watching my every move like I would somehow magically disappear. Scooting in the chair it squeaks across the plain wood floor, anticipation making the air thick and hard to breathe. He reaches his hand across the table and grabs mine, giving it a squeeze and soothingly running his thumb across the top my hand. Tingles shoot up my arm at his touch, like a gun receiving it’s power to shoot. I look him in the face, his stunning stone grey eyes captivating me. Taking a deep breath and letting his touch calm me some I st
“Katie’s POV” His words sink into my bones like a flood overtaking it’s surroundings, submerging me into its coldness. I realize just how much my life will change if I accept him. Everything I’ve worked for and done will be lost in the wind behind me. My breath stops coming and I feel myself get dizzy, my breath catching in my lungs like breeze in a sail. “Hey Katie, hey,” I hear a voice talking to me but My vision is blurry and my surroundings are fogged. I can’t make sense of this right now. Leaving my home.. I cant. “Katie, baby, it’s okay breath.” Jax is now infront of me and looking at me with such concern. Like a little girl who broke her dolly. “Katie you don’t have to come if you don’t want to, but I really really want to start my life with you by my side.” He says softly, staring at my face. His brows are scrunched tight together again, his face holding so much worry and concern that I might just say no. My heart tugs in pain at the thought of letting him walk, but also a
“Jax’s POV” I woke early, rays of sunlight streaming through the light grey curtains, Katie clinging to my side. Her leg is over mine and her arm is draped around my torso, holding me by her side. After everything she has been through I don’t blame her for holding so tightly. To lose everything.. I couldn’t imagine the pain. How could this beautiful girl have such a haunting past. To go from one day being a princess to the next being a rogue, my finger brush long locks of her ashy brown hair from her face. So much she had to endure, and at such a young age. This gorgeous girl has more strength than a thousand warriors could fathom, my hand trails from her long hair letting it fall and slip through my fingers. This all captivating girl has captured my love, I can’t let her slip away. I watch her sleep, her face suddenly scrunching in worry. I can feel fear through our bond, and so much pain.. it’s not strong as when we mate and mark, but I can still feel her. Rubbing my thumb gently a
"Katies POV" Riding on the bike with Jax I have never felt more freed, the wind whistling by us as i grip tightly onto Jax. Piece by tiny piece, this man is filling holes in my heart that I thought would've been empty forever. The walls are slowly coming down the more time we spend together. Up the road from us I see the town house tops. We are entering the center of Red River, a bigger town in the middle of a bunch of smaller towns, houses, and land. As we slow down, we pull closer into town, the trees around us stop blurring past and clear back out. I can already see their packed house in the center of everything, it stands tall and looming. The black brick and red trim give a sophisticated feel. We roll through the outskirts of town, people staring at us as we pass by. i don't understand why some of them look so angry. Soon enough, we slowed down and came to a small restaurant, a small beige-colored brick accented with hints of dark blue. The sign above the door is labeled Wolf De
"Katies POV"Jax called his Beta to bring his car, and so he could report the incident. We are sitting on a bench out on the sidewalk and I have no words. What the hell was that? I have never even been here before and there are already problems starting. Maybe I am not cut out to be their Luna, they seem to not like me already. I looked down at my shirt, the little breeze making me shiver. My shirt is ruined from the juice and the stain is probably never going to come out."Katie, I am so sorry that she did that.." Jax intrudes my thoughts, "If I had known what she would do, I wouldn't have brought you here." He looks so sad."Its fine Jax, I just want to go home right now.." Eyes in my lap, I can't look at him. I am so embarrassed and so angry all at the same time. I don't have the patience to talk about it. "Was she ever someone to you?""No, absolutely not. She has tried but I wanted to wait for my real mate. I have been waiting for you.." he trailed off, leaving us in silence for
After an awkward introduction and some explaining about the issue that happened, I went up to the loft where Tanya gave me spare clothes and I got to take a hot shower to wash off the juice. The upstairs loft was extraordinary. The walls were all white with accents of blood red and gold. A massive king bed, and a full kitchen with a beautiful bathroom. The bathroom was a dream, a massive clawfoot tub and a corner shower surrounded by stained glass. The towels were so soft and the soap smelt amazing. I tried to rush myself but I could not help but be caught by the incredible sight and smells. I haven't had anything this wonderful since that horrible night. My life has been filled with river baths or a cold shower that had no water pressure. I have had the bare minimum for years and I grew to be comfortable with it, but being here makes me miss it. Before I know it, an hour has passed, I feel squeaky clean and refreshed. I make my way back down to the shop floor where Jax and his mom ar
We are on the way back to my cabin, the trees rush by in a blur. Jax said that Helen and Toby, her grandson, weren't hurt. Just that the wizard or with had torn apart their shop. Jax said that the pack is already working on fixing it, everyone has come together to fix or replace her shelving and windows. I plan on picking what I can from my garden and taking it to her. I'm lost in my thoughts as we drive down the dusty road, me and Jax holding hands between the seats. Every now and then, he looks over at me and smiles, or reaches over and puts his hand on my thigh, running little circles with his fingers. The little tingles and sparks our bond has given us give me shivers. His voice breaks my thoughts,"So my mom says that she packed the room across from mine. It has a door that connects the two rooms so you can come to me whenever you want. I know you would like to take things slowly and I won't push you to stay in the same room at night if you do not want to-" his hand in mine,"I w
I wake up in a bed I do not know, but it smells amazing. Jax's scent is everywhere around me, burying my face into the pillow. I breathe deeper. Its strong smell threatens to put me back to sleep. I'm taken aback by the softness. The blanket is fluffy and thick too, making me feel even more comfortable. Stretching and rolling over, I looked around me. This room is incredible. Its massive size with stunning stone grays and blacks accenting walls, a white couch. The curtains were drawn, the deep black blocking the sun like an eclipse, little lines of sun breaking through and dancing their way into the room. The bed I'm lying on is massive and has dark charcoal black sheets and pillows with a stone gray blanket lying overtop. Massive book shelves cover a wall next to the couch and fireplace, the fire dancing like little orange fairies sparkling into the chimney. The sound of the door opening had my eyes darting in front of me, there stood Jax. A towel draping his hips, water dripped from
