Safer Together

Chapter twoFarah POVIt’s true what they say; your life does flash before your eyes when in the face of death. The fall felt like a lifetime. I’m only 17 but I relived my entire life in the seconds I was falling. My childhood friends came to mind; I was playing tag with kids from the pack while Jake watched over us. I saw my parent’s countless hugs, when I used to ride on my dad’s wolf as a child, my brother dunking my head when we used to swim in the lake, birthday after birthday, years of training, highschool, when I had friends. I had a good life and a loving family. But they were gone now. I accepted that it was over.Pain erupted in my entire body and i let out a piercing scream when I crashed into the tree tops, breaking branch after branch as I fell through the trees. Branches stabbing and piercing my body. Then I felt the air leave my lungs as I was slammed into the icy water below. The pain and cold made me want to take in a deep breath, but I was completely submerged. Th

Farah POVMy mind started to wake from the aching in my legs and side. I felt as though I could sleep for days but the pain in my body and the overwhelming urge to pee was too much. I was also much too hot and instinctively started kicking the heavy blanket off of me. My eyelids felt heavy as I strained to open them. Bright light flooded in through a window across the room causing my eyes to need a moment to adjust. I winced at the intrusive light.What the…? Where the hell am I? I wondered, taking in the room around me when my vision cleared. Confusion quickly turned to fear. The room was a light tan color with dark wood bookshelves from floor to ceiling along one wall. A green velvet chase sat in front of the wall of books. There was a large dark wood desk across from the door in front of a large window with a green velvet chair, and gold floor lamp. gold curtains hung from the window billowing at the floor, and a large green and brown tassel rug covers most of the room. looking

After some time, Still waiting on the bench, I calmed down a bit and my stomach began to settle. I had a feeling they wouldn’t even need me, but I knew well enough to just remain in my seat. So I stayed on the small bench just staring at the decorated wooden door across from me. I looked up when two guards dressed in green fatigues marched past, their eyes straight ahead and shoulders back, with a small boy following behind them. He must have been 7 or 8. He was so young but there was a faint aura coming off of him. His black hair and rich dark eyes gave him away. He only looked my way for a second and I gave a small smile. It wasn't returned. I realized he was the Alpha’s son. No one saw him much. He didn’t attend the normal pack school and never played with the other pack children. Our pack never had a Luna, so some wondered who his mother was. Rumors were that the Alpha never found his mate and impregnated an omega slave, one of the lowest ranked pack members. Omega females were

I dressed in the clothes Luca left for me. I put on the black sweat shorts that were three sizes too large, tying the waistband tight, and then the huge grey t-shirt that came down past my butt. These were obviously Luca’s clothes from the size of them, and they had a strong woodsy teak scent that I found quite soothing. I couldn't help but hold the soft cotton to my face and inhale deeply. I slipped on the flip-flops that were at the bottom of the pile of clothes. They were rather large too. Towel drying my hair, I walked back to the room with my bed.My eyes took in all the books that sat on the wooden bookcase. I let my fingers trail over the gold embossed letters on the spines. It was an impressive collection. ‘History of our past’, ‘Healing’, ‘Medicinal herbs’, ‘Charms and spells’I walked to the window and peeked outside. The sun was already going down, painting the town in a pink hue. There were houses mixed in with shops but the roads were quiet. It seemed tranquil.“Order’s

Farah POVI started to wake up to the sounds of footsteps entering the room.I felt so warm and comfortable, I didn't want get up until I realized the warmth was coming from Luca’s large body still half on top of me. I felt a rush of embarrassment course through me, making my body even more hot. The sound of dress shoes against the wood floor came closer to the bed as, who I assumed was Dr William, approached. My mortification only grew, so I decided to just act like I was still asleep, keeping my eyes closed and breathing softly. I heard the sound of a loud smack just next to me. I tried to keep my eyes half closed when I saw Luca jolted upright off his stomach and onto his knees, to see the doc glaring at him, while Luca rubbed the top of his head.“Seriously! You’re in bed with her!” The doc yelled, smacking him again on the chest.“Hey, Hey.” Luca yelled back swatting the oncoming smacks away.“It was completely PG. We fell asleep watching a movie. Someone had to keep an eye
