“Worthless mutt,” Alana curses at me while taking her final jump to attack me.Clothes tare and get scattered all around me. A loud, terrified, and pain filled howl fills the air as my fangs hold on to the torn off front leg from Alana. My shift happened so fast. She didn’t even see it coming. Within split seconds after shifting, I had torn her leg off before she was even able to land on top of me despite being able to comprehend it.Disgusted, I spit the leg out to the filthy ground where it belongs. Blood is staining my white fur and is still dripping from my descended fangs as I turn to her. “Fuck you, bitch. Let’s see how worthless you’ll become now, as a warrior with only three legs. You better get out of my way, before you have even less legs left,” I firmly spit at her, feeling some sort of satisfaction for the deep betrayal I still feel. With pure terror in her eyes she whimpers and cries, starts curling around upon the ground. Her body automatically shifts back to her human
“This is far from done,” Drake’s words echo in my head, and I know I just opened the box of Pandora. This is far from good. Maybe if I had stayed away, things would have calmed down, but now I just gave him every reason to come for us. Added fuel to house that was already on fire.Yet I feel triumphant in this very moment. For a short moment, I was able to defeat him, and I’m not done with this yet. He still seems to think I’m the naïve girl hanging on to the words leaving his mouth, believing in everything he tells me. Underestimating me, my knowledge, and the power I’m just about to learn about.To say he was shocked to see me shift would be an understatement. Each and every one of them, including myself, never thought I would be able to shift. Perhaps Emily was right. That spell on me kept my abilities down. I definitely want to learn more about them, discover them and myself in a totally new way. The thought of having abilities gives me some sort of reassurance I’ve never felt bef
Actually, seeing the blood pooling from me now seems to have an exhausting effect on my body. It’s as if it’s just realising I was actually injured, too. Until that point, I only felt a slight sting and thought the blood on my fur solely came from others. Suddenly feeling all drained, as if all power has left my body, my knees feel weak and give in, causing me to nearly crash to the ground. Jax’s strong arms prevent it just on time and scoop me up into his arms.“Amelia, stay with me,” he whispers worriedly as I start feeling slightly dizzy.“I just feel a little exhausted. I’m ok,” I tell him, holding my hand up to his face to calm him while leaning my head against his warm, strong, and comforting chest, which is energizing to me. Breathing in deeply, I enjoy his very own strong masculine scent. I have no idea how feeling his skin against mine and the mere scent of him can turn me on in this situation, but the fact is, it does. No matter how weak I felt only moments ago, this blows it
Rounding the corner, I gasp at the sight in front of us. Jax pushes me immediately protective behind him.“Keep her safe,” he orders towards the others, and lets go of me.Holding on to his arm, trying to keep him here, I speak up. “No, don’t go, Jax. Stay here,” I plead with him, while my eyes dart back and forth between him and the building where my apartment is in.“I need to find out what’s going on. Please, just for once, listen to me,” he cups my face, making me look up at him. Gulping hard, I simply nod. “Tonya, Ben, bring her to my place and keep her safe. Jenny and Freddie, could you guide them too? I need as much safety as possible for her, and I want her away from here as fast as possible. But I need some people here too.”“Of course," Jenny and Freddie reply in unison. Everyone is on edge again. I watch Jax take off towards the building, together with Alex and the two guards. All the windows have been thrown in. It seems like my entire belongings have been tossed out of th
The tugging at the door gets stronger, and loud banging echoes through the entire apartment. “For fucks sake, someone open the door,” Jax calls out loudly from behind it causing me to nearly jump.Tonya jumps to her feet and rushes to the door opening it for Jax. Next to punching in the security system, Tonya had secured the door with two massive deadbolts across the door, which is now preventing Jax from being able to enter.“Why the heck, did you do that?” Jax questions angrily as soon as she has let him in. “I thought you wanted her in total safety,” she throws back at him, with her arms crossed over her chest. “I made sure absolutely no one could come in after checking the apartment.” She’s glaring at him now, her voice emphasising on "no one."Running his hands across his face, looking totally drained, he simply replies, "fine. Well done.”Entering the living room area fully, he comes in fast strides up to me, sits down onto the couch, grabbing me by the waist, he lifts me onto h
Feeling anger and disappointment burn up in me, I turn to face him. "I'm not asking for your permission. I will train. And if you aren’t prepared to help me, I’m going to find someone who does." I stand my ground and see he’s about to blow. “Brother, she’s got a point. She did amazing today, but if she had stayed in that apartment….” Alex trails off, knowing just as well as I do, that it wouldn’t have ended well. “It won’t harm to train her. You can still try to keep her safe, but in the worst-case scenario, it would be good if we don’t have to count on her naturally being good. But actually knowing we did everything we could to train her, so she can defend herself if needed.”“Thank you,” I'm truly glad to have him on my side with this. Maybe this will put Jax to some sort of sense.“I’m prepared to take over some of that training myself whenever I have spare time,” hearing this coming from Alex takes me by surprise. “Tonya and Ben can help too. We don’t need to get others involved
For days I’ve been practically locked up in this apartment. It’s been twelve days since the attack, and I’m starting to feel bored out of my mind. Jax has been busy with pack issues most of the time, totally locking me out of any of it. Ben’s mood has been up and down like a rollercoaster. In one moment he’s sitting with me and joking, trying to cheer me up. We keep talking about random things. Ben talks about all the adventures we could get into. All of them would get us into hell of a trouble with Jax, which Ben simply shrugs off. “He’s not here. Right?” He’s told me several times, causing me to laugh.Ben has become my ally in crime, what I like to call it. One day, he helped me sneak out to the fitness room before Trevor had given me the all-clear. But in other moments, Ben seems so angry with everything and shuts totally down. Whatever is on his mind, he doesn’t want to share it, but it seems to be eating him up.Tonya has been going on and on about my genetic test, nearly driv
“Amelia? What are you doing here?” Jax questions a little shocked, the anger from moments ago, fading away until Alex comes into sight.“Didn’t I order for you to keep her safe in the apartment?” Jax growls angrily at Alex.“Actually you ordered anyone but me. So I thought I’d take a chance. You took her as your mate, so she deserves more than being locked up the entire time and needs her mate, too. And before you fully blow, the staircase to this floor is locked, and I punched in our security code into the elevator. So no one but you or me will be able to access this floor right now.” Without another word, Alex turns on his heels, only giving me a tiny wink before he disappears.Suddenly, feeling insecure about being here, I stay standing in the doorway, rubbing my arm, waiting for some sort of reaction from Jax. His eyes soften, and he starts to scan me from head to toe, heat starting to rise within my body the moment he licks his lips subconsciously while he drinks me in.Feeling m
