I must have dozed off, curled up upon my bed, my mind spinning with the thoughts of the future that was coming for me. A future I was not sure I wanted. A future where I was terrified I may let the pack down. Scared if this future was one that I wanted at all. But despite these dominating thoughts, sleep must have taken over me at some point, because the next thing I recalled was my sister, Cora, dropping onto the bed next to me with a heavy sigh. I jerked in shock at the disturbance, instantly prying open my eyes, only to be greeted by a hunched over sister, her eyes red with tears as I looked up at her through my sleepy eyes. I think it was safe to say she had been crying...

“Are you okay?” I mumbled sleepily. Probably the most rediculous of questions giving the colour of her eyes, but I needed to know where she had been. If she would be okay. We needed to talk about all of this.

“No.” Cora sobbed, laying herself next to me on the bed. “I don’t want this, LeLe.” She used the nicknam

  • The Alpha's Brother    Chapter 113 - Lena

    Having sat alongside Ezra and forced myself to eat the breakfast he had prepared for me, we were now walking side by side through his pack. The morning sunshine warming my face as my insides filled with nerves over what we were about to do. I knew what I was expecting of Ezra's family was a lot to ask. They were already doing so much for me, and I was terrified by myself asking this, that I may be pushing them too far...I quickly attempted to distract myself by looking at the beautiful pack we were passing. The neatly tended pathways and gardens. I would be lucky to call this my home. As we walked, I think I recognized the path as the place I had crashed into Ezra the day that we met…‘Aww, are you reminiscing?’ My wolf teased. ‘You thinking you are falling for the guy? I think there are little flutters of feelings developing...’‘You are not funny you know?’ I warned her, earning a giggle in response.‘Hey, nothing to get so defensive over. There are worse men to fall for. I think y

    I could see the discomfort on Lena’s face the moment I realized where she was potentially going with the conversation. I mean, I could see no other direction it was going. Was she afraid to ask me for help? I found myself pondering, because if so, then that bothered me. I knew we were new to all of this. To being together, and not even married yet. Hell, we had literally shared our first night together in my home, but I wanted this girl to trust me. I had told her if she needed anything to ask…“Lena?” I urged, only for her to continue to avoid my gaze. This girl was not for opening up to me. I knew she had a difficult past with her family, where she felt she could not turn to them for help, but I did not want her to feel like she was in the same situation here with me. She did not need to be alone anymore. She had me now. And I wanted her to take advantage of that.But her body language was closed off. Defensive almost, and I found myself frustrated. So, instead of pushing her, I sim

    I had been shocked to hear my sister’s voice on the phone, but even more shocked to hear her request. She had learned of my arrival here, and wanted me to ask for permission for her to come too. She believed if they were being so good to me that they could may be understanding of her situation too. And, while I understood the urgency of her needing security and safety, how was I supposed to ask that of a man who was already giving me so much?I stood in the bedroom, my hands trembling, unsure what to do or what to say, but the more my sister pleaded with me, the more my guards lowered. When I heard of the things she had already been through, tears filled my eyes. Their great escape had been anything but the romantic adventure she had hoped for. Charlie being nothing but a monumental let-down. Yet, she had clung to the hope it was just fear altering his attitude towards her.She had been terrified, when she thought she was losing the man that she loved, to be relieved to learn doctors

  • The Alpha's Brother    Chapter 110 - Cora

    My eyes darted across the usually handsome features of my boyfriend, which were currently bruised and swollen. His eyes continued to look at the blanket upon the bed on which he was laid. It would appear he simply did not wish to look at me. But he could not mean what he was saying, could he?My heart was pounding within my chest. This was madness. We had sacrificed so much in order to get here. To get this far. The nurse had said he would be okay. We would just have to wait it out for him to recover, and then we could continue on our way. Continue on our plans for out future together...“Charlie, please…” I begged, reaching for his hand, only for him to snatch it away. Kari whimpered while I gasped in shock at his actions. I could never remember a time he had rejected my touch. Something did not feel right.“No. No, oh, Charlie, please. No fluttering your eyelashes to get what you want this time, Cora.” Charlie said sharply. “We need to go home. Maybe we were deluded to think this wo

    It had felt like the longest night of my life. I didn’t even know what the time had been when we arrived at the hospital. All I knew was the sky had been dark, because it had made the flashing of the emergency vehicle lights seem so stark in contrast, as I walked in a daze toward the hospital doors, following the paramedics as they wheeled Charlie into the emergency room. When we had made our plans to flee, this had been the last thing I had envisioned for us...Through tear-filled eyes, I had to watch as they rushed him away into a treatment room, potentially even theater, I wasn't truly sure; my mind was so dazed I was struggling to comprehend fully what was happening around me. Noises and people seemed like a blur... But my eyes were focused upon my injured boyfriend upon that bed as they wheeled him away, all while I was told to wait out in the hallways of the hectic hospital.Fear took over as I was left alone. My body was trembling from head to toe. I was at risk of losing him a

  • The Alpha's Brother    Chapter 108 - Ezra

    Showered and dressed, I waited for a tentative Lena emerging from upstairs. I had to hope she was okay. Everything had been good last night. Being there for her when she needed me. Talking... relaxing... watching a film... it was like we had known each other a lifetime, when we barely knew one another.Yet, there was no denying it had been more than a little awkward as we woke alongside one another this morning, but, I have to say, it was not in the slightest bit unpleasant. I think I could get used to waking to her being by my side, and I didn't know if that was crazy, or a good thing. I knew my decision to make this girl my wife was so spur of the moment, but something about it felt right, and the longer I was in her company, the more I was certain it was meant to be...I had to hope she felt the same. But, while I went about preparing coffee and toast for us to start our day, she appeared to be taking her time in the shower. Maybe trying to avoid me. Who knew? Maybe now, in the lig
