Luna's Uprising 22. Escape
There is a huge open space between the rear side of the packhouse and the woods. The late sun is still bright enough to lighten up the entire place. No house, no trees, nothing as protection to hide behind. Just open fields filled with beautiful wild flowers and knee-high grass. It is a beautiful sight but the worst thing imaginable for our current situation. “Let me down,” I yell at Jax, feeling panic rising, my heartbeat increasing by the second. But he keeps running in the direction of the woods, totally ignoring my request. Only moments later, another wolf appears at our side, one I don’t recognise. It’s a fairly tall wolf with dark brown fur. There’s no escaping from Drake, I think to myself, filled with bitterness. More wolves will be here any moment, and I prepare myself for the wolf to attack Jax, but it doesn’t. Instead, it falls into pace with Jax, running only about five feet next to us, heading direction woods.“I told you to keep them distracted,” Jax scolds angrily. “D
Luna's Uprising 23. Disgusting scent
“Luna, run," echoes in my head again, but I wouldn’t even know how or where.Even with his wounded shoulder and Drake right behind us, Jax keeps on running deeper and deeper into the woods with me on his arms. He elegantly dodges several attempts of wolves coming at us.Drake seems to be sending his warriors in first line instead of attacking himself. I’m surprised how easily Jax seems to be able to deal with them even in his human form. That’s until he comes to a sudden halt. I feel him tense up, his arms wrapping tighter around me again.Looking around, I see many different eyes, from all directions staring at us. My wolf growls inwardly. There’s no way out, I knew it the moment we left. The warriors from the borders have now joined to come in this direction, adding up to the rest of the pack. With wolves coming from all directions towards us, we’re totally surrounded. Leaving us with currently only three wolves against an entire pack. That’s if Jenny and Freddie are indeed on our s
Luna's Uprising 24. Silence
The taste of mud fills my mouth. I’m coughing from aspirating mud, and whatever else is lying on the ground. It’s cold and damp, but my entire body feels like it’s burning up. My heart is racing so bad I can hear the thumbing in my ears. My mind seems fuzzy, and I try to make out my surroundings, but my vision still seems blurry. I try to grip on to something in front of me to get myself up, a tree or something like it, I can’t exactly tell. The pain is ripping through my entire body, but I know I can’t stay here. Trying to push myself up further only results in me slipping on wet leaves on the ground, banging my head against something. Again, I find myself crashing down. Pain and burning intensifying by the moment, I try to breathe through it.But no matter how hard I try, my vision keeps on blurring up or going black, and my body is unable to move. I feel myself starting to shiver, from the cold ground beneath me, mud covering my skin, the little clothes I had on are torn from the
Luna's Uprising 25. Staring
Jax is standing there in the doorway in all his beauty. Even if he wasn’t my mate, there’s no doubt I’d feel attracted to him. Just as most of the powerful Alphas, he’s tall. I’d even say Jax is extremely tall. Even his wolf is a giant, bigger than any I have ever seen before. The broad shoulders, every single muscle well defined, he’s not hiding it in the slightest underneath his plain white t-shirt. His jaw is sharp. There are those mesmerizing green eyes. His face has got this slight edge to it. His slightly wavy chocolate brown hair is a slight mess, as if the wind had just brushed through it. Making him look wild, untamed, ruthless, simply a hot mess. And those full lips look as if they are the sweetest temptation.He gulps slightly, and I realize that I’ve just been blatantly staring at him and got caught. My cheeks blush in an instant, and I feel them burning, but differently to what it was in the woods. The intensity of his stare just adds up to the fire.“I think I should get
Luna's Uprising 26. Promises
I’m left back in confusion. Once Trevor has left the room, too, I’m left totally alone again with my thoughts and questions lingering on my mind. Every time one question gets answered, the next ten seem to pile up.My eyes dart around the room. It seems very spacious and luxurious for a hospital. It has to be a private room by the looks of it. On the side table and windowsill, I see loads of bunches of flowers in various kinds, their sweet scent filling the air. Counting them it makes up to fourteen. Are they from Jax? Did he bring me flowers every single day?There are so many unanswered questions on my mind right now. I wish he hadn’t just stormed off and at least given me answers to some of the most recent questions. Like what happened that night? How did he get out? What about Drake? And I’ve not seen Jenny or Freddie here. Are they ok?Hours pass without a single word from either Jax or Alex. I try to sleep but feel restless at not knowing or understanding what’s going on. Jax jus
Luna's Uprising 27. Welcome home
Within the following three days, I didn’t really get to see Jax at all. He seemed to have come for visits during the nights when I was sleeping and left before I woke up. The only thing hinting his visits were the new flowers at my bedside and his scent still lingering in the air. Once, I was nearly sure to have seen him standing at the window, but instead of looking out, his eyes were on me. But once I was finally able to fully open my eyes, he was gone.Tonya and Ben have been within my room, accompanying me, instead of staying in front of the door the entire time. To be honest, we had a lot of fun together. Tonya is extremely outward going, fierce and funny, while Ben seems to be very calm and more sensible. Whenever Tonya started pushing questions a little too much, causing me to feel uncomfortable, Ben would make sure for her to back down. She seems to want to know every single little detail about me.Ben is the younger one, and Tonya made sure to remind him of that fact every si
Luna's Uprising 28. You don't want me
It doesn’t take long until I hear howling coming from different directions. Even if I’m not part of this pack, I can tell it’s a stress call. There’s no doubt it’s because of me running out. My mind goes back to the look on Tonya’s and Ben’s face the moment I left. The way they were taken aback. It surprises me that they’re not right behind me already.Admitted, I do feel sorry for them, knowing that they’re going to get into huge trouble as soon as Jax gets to them. Their orders were clear to keep me safe and stay at my side at all times. If they had tried to hold me back, I wouldn’t have stood a chance against their strength.There’s this nerve-wracking ringing in my head, as if someone is trying to get inside, but I ignore it. The first wolves on the streets seem to start to recognise me, even if I’ve never seen any of them before. Surely Jax has sent out an image of me over the mind link. Now I wish I was on normal pack grounds not in a city, full of people, with so many pairs of
Luna's Uprising 29. I want you to want me
Jax steps closer. His body is now pressed against mine, capturing me with his hands and body. Keeping one hand on mine, still pinned up against the wall. The other hand comes underneath my chin, making me look up at him. His head dips down, hovering right above my face. He’s breathing heavily. “That’s what you think? That I don’t want you?” Shock and anger are lacing his tone while he watches my reaction closely.Feeling his breath on my skin and the closeness of his body I’m unable to speak a single word. Instead, I simply nod yes as a reply, not breaking the eye contact once. For a moment, he looks as if I just slapped him into the face. The next moment, his warm lips crash down on mine. They feel soft and hard in one go, moving in a hungry, perfect way, kissing me longingly. For a brief second, I’m startled, not having expected this. Until my lips automatically move in sync with his in the most perfect rythm, as if they were meant to nothing else but this. His tongue slides delica
