COULD BE TRIGGERING(Spoiler-Katie loses the baby, you could skip to Oliver's POV halfway through the chapter if this is a triggering topic for you.)Waking up, my arm is immediately the first thing I notice, then the cramping in my stomach. Going to reach down to my stomach, my one good free hand is chained to a bed post. Wait.. Looking around, I notice the dull pink, princess-style bed post that held my chain and towered up and towards the pillows, pink and dusty. This is my old room. Shimming up on the floor, I get myself standing using the bedpost. More cramps had me half doubling over. Looking around more, I see a photo of me, my father, and my mother sitting on the dusty bedside table. My heart shatters. The image is dull, the frame and glass covered in dust. My stomach cramps again, and I feel moisture come between my legs. I'm losing my baby..."OLIVER!" I yelled out, at least he was nice enough to splint my broken arm. "WHAT DID YOU DO?" I screeched. Another cramp and I could
"Jax's POV" -The day Katie disappeared- If Katie thought I would leave her, she wasn't thinking correctly. Sitting on a bench, I am still a distance away. As I was walking away, I heard her say she had seen him before in a dream, and now I am definitely not going to leave her side. Keeping a distance, I sat under a tree and watched. My elbows on my knees with my hands clasped together, both feet on the ground ready to jump into action. Watching as my gorgeous mate floods the arrogant asshole who claimed he could help her, I just don't understand why she couldn't see what I saw. I could see the danger he held. As if the universe is out to prove me right, I see him moving closer. Waving his hand as my mate fell through the cracks of the earth, her scream sent chills through my spine. My wolf took control in seconds. Standing up, I shifted and immediately started gaining speed, but the portal that swirled on the ground closed in on itself like a black hole. Since when could he teleport!
Running again. Why am I always running? My feet splash in a puddle as the rain starts falling harder. The sound of it echoed through the red hazy night. I have been running for three hours and my breath comes out in foggy bursts. The air is thick like this with the rising fog and humidity. Stopping, I listen around me. I have only run into him once. My body reacted and zapped me... Well, I don't know where I am anymore. Walking up a hill, I see a road dead in front of me, a car's lights pass by and the speed of it whips my hair back and out of my face.Climbing, I stumbled forward. Catching myself with my good arm, I half army crawl up. One more step, I can hear the traffic and see the headlights fading in and out. A stick snaps behind me. Looking back, I saw him, I saw his piercing green eyes and menacing smile. My stomach dropped to my ass. Falling to my rear, I put my hand up and sent a tornado of leaves and sticks right at him. He claps his hands and my small tornado disappears. H
Using every last bit of courage, I screamed. Screaming as loudly as I could, and even though it came out choked, a blast of energy exploded from my chest. I watch as Oliver is blasted back across the other side of the river, his body colliding with a tree and bending in an ugly way. There's no way he survived that... Thinking about being over there, I warped through time again. Closing my eyes as if I were blinking, and transporting myself to be right in front of his mangled body. Covering my face, and turning away for a moment, I collected myself. Gasping, I stepped back two steps. He was lying with his back legs still half wrapped around the tree. Both legs were clearly broken. I could hear the wheezing breaths he took in slowly. He was not conscious and he didn't move. Noticing a knife on his side, I reached over and grabbed it, quickly pulling it from its sheath. The lighter wooden handle feels smooth in my hand, and a dragon is cast into it and runs down its blade. Intricate deta
Run, Run, RUN. Don’t stop. The night was falling and like the creatures of the day, I needed to hide. My heart is thundering in my chest, echoing the sounds of the war that rage from the fields of my once loved home. That was before the coven came. Surprising us, and taking my home and pack. The attack happened so quickly that no one was ready. We had no warning and after hours of waiting I was found. I had to run. Don’t stop running. “CRACK” the current of magic shoots by and hits the tree to my left, my bare feet crunching the earth hard and fast. My small heart fluttering faster than a hummingbirds wings, my once sparkling beautiful dress is no more. It’s tattered, dirty, and torn. The edges burnt to a crisp and coated in blood from bodies of the battle field that I raced away from. “Come here little wolfie,” a harsh raspy voice calls out cutting through the trees I hide quickly behind a tree to take cover to breathe, “ I just want a little chat!” He calls sing-song like, tauntin
WARNING READING CONTENT MAY DISTURB SOME. VIOLENCE The Black Ashen pack, led by my father and mother Alpha Nathan and Luna Elizabeth. We are a small pack in the upper north mountains. We are surrounded by beautiful trees and crystal clear waters. Like my mother I bare her blue eyes that hold shimmers of gold and silver, my long ashen blonde hair reaching my waist even though I’m only 11. I’m staring at my reflection in the mirror admiring what the maids had done with my hair for today, for it was a special day. Today was my 11th birthday. My outfit shimmered lightly in beautiful flower designs meant for a princess. It might have been over the top for school, but after all I was a princess. I’m my parents only child and prized possession. They give me everything I could ever dream of and more. The bond they share I hope to find some day. “Katie!!” My dad breaks my thoughts for a moment. “Katie, sweetie we have to go!” He calls at me again. “I’m coming Dad!” I yelled back checking m
Current day : Katie’s 18th birthday I wake with a gasp, my fingers curling into my blanket. Always the same damn nightmares. I roll over on my futon couch bed in my little cabin and look out my window. Since that horrid night I have thrived on my own. Using my wolf to hunt and run, to gather things I can from the wilderness and Mother Nature herself. I like it this way, as a rogue and not being completely accepted to any packs I’m not seen as friendly much. I can go into the small village outside the pack of Red River. But I make my stops short and quick, only ever to Helen’s or put gas in my beat up tissue box car. At this point I’m not sure if I can blame anyone for not wanting me around, that fateful night left my face permanently scarred. Wolf healing helped a lot of it but I still have part my hair missing by my left brow and by my hair line. It’s hideous and most time I wear a scarf around my head to hide it. Or most of it. Standing up off my little futon bed I raise it back i
“Jax’s POV”Today my family and I, Luna Tonya and Alpha Timothy the current Aplha and Luna of Red River pack, are visiting a small village outside the pack house. This village is farther than the rest and is the last stop before we go back home. We came because last week was my 18th birthday, and we had week long celebrations to attend to. This gave me the chance to meet more pack members and to learn more about the role of Alpha. Although I must say I’m pretty spent with it. Not wanting to be around the crowds of women throwing themselves to their knees, and the men that wanted to be my next in command, I decided I was going to sneak off today. I drove myself on my motorcycle so that way I could do what I wanted. Parking it near the center of town my mother, father, and I great people. Everyone is throwing themselves at us and being overly nice, so when no one is looking and I get the chance to sneak off I do. Ducking into an alley way I make my way around the town, walking and looki
