Swallowing the lump in my throat I tried to stop my heart from racing.“Give us a minute?”. He asked.The girls scrambled, running like little girls.“Take a walk with me?”. He offered his hand.“You asking or telling”. I still couldn’t bring myself to look at him. I was shaking inside with nerves and yeah maybe a little excitement.I hadn’t seen him in a month. It may not seem like a long time but to me it felt like a lifetime.“Come on baby, look at me”.So I did. Our eyes locked, my hand on its own slipping into his. Instantly I felt it, our connection. The feeling of belonging.I missed him.He led me through the club, through the back area stopping at a door. Punching in a code I heard a click before he pushed the door open.I had never been in here before.“You want something to drink?”. He asked closing the door once we were both inside.“Vodka soda”. I walked further into the room taking in my surroundings. A black leather sofa was pushed up against the back wall. A small kitc
Jacob dropped us off and to say I felt a little awkward was an understatement. Standing outside the club I stared at the queue to get in.It was going to be a busy night.“Come on”. Alanna looped her arm through mine pulling me to the front of the line.I felt the bass from the music under my feet. The music blasting through my ears. Slipping her hand down my arm she grabbed my hand.“Have fun tonight okay”.“Okay”….She stopped dead before turning to face me. “Promise you’re not gonna be mad”.“Why would I be mad?”. I followed her gaze the smile slipping from my face, my stomach tightening. I knew what she was going to say before she said it.“Please tell me-…”. My breath caught in my throat when I saw him. Sat between Jack and Carter, that stupid but sexy smirk on his face.I couldn’t control my breathing. I didn’t think I would react this way but I couldn’t stop. He looked different, bigger, more rugged, unshaven.I wanted nothing more than to go to him.“Is-… is this why you wante
He hadn’t posted anything in weeks.Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on his photos. As I was scrolling my heart tightened as I noticed he had a picture of me in there.It was the night he took me to the beach shack for the very first time. I was sat with a big goofy grin on my face holding a burger.Reading the caption a lump appeared in the back of my throat.Lucky!Oh god here we go again with the tears.“Did you manage to get a hold of the girls?”. My gran asked as she took her seat.Masking my tears with a smile I locked my phone placing it to the side. “Yeah Alanna is coming over for 7”.“Some girl time will do you the world of good”.Reign brought over our drinks letting us know our food wouldn’t be long.“Have you decided what you’re going to do after you finish school?”.The Yale question again.A month ago I was so set on going. I accepted my offer out of rage and now, now I wasn’t so sure. I kept changing my mind.“No idea”. I took a sip of my coke. “I accepted m
Days turned into weeks….1 month today since I last saw him….1 month since that horrible night. He broke my heart all over again.We didn’t mate, our bond wasn’t complete. He left town and no one’s heard from him since. I wasn’t convinced, I knew they knew his whereabouts.He was Alpha, he wasn’t just going to abandon his pack and not tell his Beta where he was going.“You ready for this?”. My gran started the car pulling out the drive.“Eh yes”. I grinned looking down at my hand. Today was the day I got my cast removed. “I’ve been ready for weeks”. I couldn’t wait to get a good scratch at my arm.“We won’t be doing that again anytime soon will we?”. She asked.“Absolutely not”. Although if I had half the chance I would do more than punch him.“Heard anything yet?”. She asked.“No”.“And how do you feel about that?”.I shrugged. “I’m fine”. She didn’t need to know that I cried myself to sleep most nights. I felt empty inside. It was like part of me was missing.“Our walls aren’t that
I hope you don’t mind me emailing you. I have changed my mind. I am going to accept the offer to Yale. Would really appreciate any advice you have.Thanks,Leah 🙂Hitting send I placed my laptop on the floor. Laying my head against the window I watched the rain fall, the thunder ripping through the sky.I wanted to be angry, I wanted to scream and throw things but the sadness won. More tears fell, more sobs came. He had well and truly broke me. Whatever his reason for saying what he did I would never forgive him.Jake Taylor no longer existed to me.….I don’t know how long I sat there. My bum numb, my legs numb, my eyes red and sore. But I was done, no more tears. No more tears over a sad excuse for a man.Changing into clean pjs I grabbed my housecoat slipping it on. Grabbing his hoodie from my closet I made my way downstairs and straight into the kitchen.He meant nothing to me anymore.Taking the scissors from the drawer I started cutting until there was nothing left. I opened th
I drove to the training ground.My car parked I was sat staring across the field. I spotted him straight away. Barking orders, firing demands, demanding respect.His pack scattered everywhere. Some in human form, most in wolf form. Even from the car I felt a little intimidated. It was something I was never going to get used to.The chap on my window knocked me out my thoughts. Jack was stood staring at me. Jack was a lot like Jake at times. A massive prick with a stinking attitude.I opened my window a little, enough to hear what he had to say.“You here to fix that?”.“Excuse me?”.“We’ve been here since half 5 sweetheart. Take one for the team and sort your fucking shit out”.“You think he’s like that because out me?”. I glared.“I never said that”. His glare matched mine. “But he’s running them into the ground, especially the young ones”.“Yeah because I can stop him. You know better than me what he’s like when he’s like this. There’s no getting through to him”. I ran a hand throug
