Today I was taking Blake to see my parents. Not David and Jayne, though I had taken him back to where my old pack used to live, but to my actual parents. Nicole had told me where they were buried and I thought it was finally time to see them, she was even the one who suggested I tell Blake about them.
It had been twenty-six years since I last saw them. I just wanted to know where they were so that I could be with them, even if I didn't remember who they were or what they had done for me, they were still my parents and they were there for me at the start of my life.
I had been to see David and Jayne on my own as well. The week after I officially introduced myself to Darkness and told them I was to be their Alpha, I went back to my old territory and I just sat there.
Their bodies were
"Alpha, I must apologise for interrupting you, but it's important," I looked up from my paperwork to see Jamie standing in the doorway to my office. She looked genuinely panicked but I had already made it clear that Jackson and Luca were to deal with everything. "Jamie, I told you four months' ago that if there were any issues, you were to go to either Jackson or Luca," I told her as I moved my hand across my stomach, rubbing it in an attempt to ease the pain which was there. "I know and I really am sorry, but this an issue I don't trust either of them with," she replied. "I would love to help you Jamie but I am behind my desk for a reason. I can't afford to get stressed," I sighed and I felt bad that I was turning her away, but I told her with the rest of the pack what was going to
As we walked into the living room Jackson and Luca were having the same argument they had every single week. They were trying to decide which film they were going to watch this afternoon. I was sure there was some sort of underlying bromance there though between the both of them which they had decided not to tell anyone about. Even Elliot had told me that she thought there was something going on between Jackson and Luca behind her back - to this day I still don't know if she was joking or being serious. "You picked last time though," Luca moaned. "No. You picked last time. We ended up watching Skyfall," Jackson replied as he snatched the remote from Luca's hand and started playing with the TV. "Actually, I picked la
"Jayson?" Blake and I both said at the same time but he didn't move. He just stood inside the door where we could both see him, silent and still. I couldn't believe that he was here. He had been gone for over a year now, Mollie had killed herself four months' ago because she didn't want to live without Jayson anymore and Jonah had effectively lost control of the pack almost seven months' ago. To look at him now you wouldn't know that he had once been the Alpha of the most powerful pack in the country. He had bags under his eyes, premature wrinkles covering most of his face and he looked like he hadn't stayed in one place for longer than couple of days. "Halloween was three months' ago mate," Blake joked when Jayson didn't speak but I really wasn't seeing the funny side of this.
BLAKE "Who was that?" Luca asked once we were outside of the house. "His name is Jayson. He was the Alpha of my old pack but after Ellie killed James, he just sort of disappeared and no one has heard from or seen him since," I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. I didn't know why he had decided to come back now or what the hell he even wanted, but I already knew it wasn't going to be good and that him being here was going to do more harm than it was good. I had missed him and had been worried about him, he was like my brother and he was there for me through the tough periods of
ELLIE "You really shouldn't be doing this. Think of the twins," Blake sighed as I prepared for the day. "He isn't going to talk to anyone other than me. Even if I hate what he has done, I still need to try to talk to him," I said with a weak smile. I didn't really want to see or speak to Jayson, but I was the only person he wanted to speak to. Even when Luca had gone to check on him this morning and attempted to speak to him, Jayson made it clear that the only person he would be speaking with is me. I was worried about the twins. It was damn near impossible to sleep last night because they wouldn't stop moving and there was a serious amount of pain which, e
"Firstly, you need to understand-" "I don't need to understand anything. I just need you to tell me what else you have done and whether it's going to be a threat to my pack," I seethed. I could feel my hands clenching and unclenching beneath the desk, putting all of my energy into keeping my wolf at bay. I knew it was dangerous to shift while I was pregnant. I was especially dangerous when I was seven months pregnant and carrying more than one child. "Why did you leave Moon Shadow?" Jackson asked as I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing, willing myself to calm down before I did something stupid which would only land me in more trouble. "Being an Alpha. I never wanted it. I was forced into it," Jayson sighed b
As the medics rushed Ellie to the hospital, they refused to let me anywhere near her. They kept assuring me that she was fine and that the pain was normal, they just needed to get her to the hospital. But, even when we got to the hospital, they rushed her off to some room and told me I was going to have to have wait outside her. It didn't matter that she was screaming my name or that I wanted to be with her, they told me that they would fetch me when the time was right. So that's how I came to be sitting in the waiting room with Luca beside me and Jackson opposite me. Neither of them had spoken since they walked in the room and the silence was only making me more agitated and on edge than I already was - I could feel her immense pain through the mate link and it was killing me. I ju
JAYSON I was only just beginning to get comfortable in my cell when they kicked me out and moved me somewhere else - apparently this was the next safest part of the dungeons for me other than being in solitary confinement. I don't know what they thought I was going to do though. It's not like I came here so that I could run off again, I actually came here to try to help but that didn't get me very far. I only ended up pissing off a psycho Third in Command, upsetting an old friend and causing the early labour of the Alpha. I wouldn't say that's a good start to my time in Darkness - even if I didn't like the
