로그인~Lindsey~ The ambulances shortly arrive, and we’re all whisked away to the hospital. I hand Aunt Cammie my phone, not wanting to deal with anyone right now. It’s been blowing up since we got into the ambulance. I saw how Logan was. His body almost limp, every touch searing with pain. I couldn’t even move him to see if his back was injured. I packed his wounds the best that I could, my training from Dad coming into play. I shake my head, trying to rid it of the many nights that I was his nurse. Warriors would come in after lashings, she wolves who had become pregnant but were forced to miscarry once Alpha Walt realized that the pup belonged to him, omegas who were accused of slander or prying into the alpha’s business. So much blood. So much pain. I’ll never forget the spring before I turned fifteen. One of my high school friends, a young girl who had just received her wolf, got pregnant. She was beautiful, the model type. Perfect body, gorgeous hair, sparkling blue eyes. Walt h
~Brady~I manage to maintain some control over Knight since we both know Jagger is not in his right mind. Knight doesn’t want him dead like he did Blaine; he actually likes Jagger’s wolf from what I’ve picked up on, not that it matters at the moment. When my parents arrived and Mom said her key had been stolen, I knew there was only one option. Knight was done with waiting anyways. We wanted our Lindsey safe. My eyes narrow on my target. “Make sure Lindsey doesn’t get hurt. We need to give her a way to run if you can get him pinned or distracted enough.” I tell Knight. “He’s not making sense.” Knight responds. “What do you mean?” “His wolf.” Concern is in Knight’s voice. “He’s in pain. All he’s saying is that he needs her over and over.” I sigh. “If we can salvage any of that drink, John can figure out how to help him.” “Get Logan out. John should be here any minute.” I mind link Dad and Colton. Hopefully they know enough first aid to keep him alive. His wolf sounded so weak th
~Lindsey~I look at Logan, taken off guard by his statement. “If she didn’t send it, then who did?” I ask warily. The words have barely left my lips before the door is yanked shut behind us. I hear it lock on the other side. That’s when I realize I don’t have my key; it’s in my purse upstairs. I look at Logan, panicked. “Please tell me you can take him,” I barely make a sound, mostly mouthing the words.He looks at me uneasily. “This was a set up.” He’s staring Jagger down, and I turn around to see Jagger itching uncomfortably. “It’s so hot. Why is it so hot?” He starts unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his washboard abs. “How are you not hot?” He’s dragging his hands through his hair, his brow soaked in sweat. “Jagger? What’s wrong?” I take a step forward, but Logan quickly yanks me behind him. “Stay back, Lindsey. He’s dangerous.” I look between the two, extremely worried. About that time, my windows reveal Hunter, Brady, and Colton all beating trying to get in. They’re most
~Lindsey~I never thought that school would be my safe haven, a place where I escape from work. I always considered it the “stressful” part of my day; Dad always told me my job was school until the day I got out, that learning was the only occupation I needed during high school. I had summer jobs on occasion, but match making and party planning were not my original career path. “Lindsey, focus. You’re extremely distracted today. Get out of your head.” Coach Mabry criticizes me as he observes me getting pinned once again by Grant who simply smirks. “Ah take it easy on her, Coach. After all, she’s training with the future gamma.” He puffs his chest arrogantly. I make a cheap shot at his abdomen and basically tackle him. “That’s more like it.” Coach smiles at me, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “What was that, future gamma?”Grant huffs. “I wasn’t ready.”“Always be prepared. That’s what your father preaches, at least.” Coach walks away after his final comment. “For real though.
~Brady~I smell him, that sly son of a bitch. “Brady? What’s wrong?” John asked me to take Lindsey home. He was tired from work and wanted to head in early. I took it as an honor that he trusted me with his daughter out late. After all, he originally didn’t want her out with me on school nights. Now I can’t help but wonder if he sent his nephew to spy on us. “Nothing’s wrong. The big bad wolf just isn’t my biggest fan.” Hunter appears from the corner, propping up against a White Fang vehicle. I don’t even have the energy to argue with this idiot. I can tell he’s up to something, almost makes me want to check my brake lines before we get into the car. I remind myself that he wouldn’t want harm to come to Lindsey. “Who can blame him? You’ve been a jerk since you got here. Dad even said he was disappointed in you.” Lindsey spits out with a sprinkle of malice in her voice. I can tell Hunter is hurt by her words, but he recovers quickly. “My apologies if I’ve caused offense. I was ju
~Lindsey~ The cool breeze hits my face the second we exit the door. It’s a bit refreshing after being inside with so many people. I take a deep breath in and let the night air soothe me. “You look beautiful, just so you know.” Brady looks at me, a boyish grin on his face. I can’t help but smile back. “Thank you. You don’t look half bad yourself.” He lets out a small laugh at my teasing and rakes a hand through his jet black hair. He looks away briefly before meeting my eyes again. “So what did you want to talk about?” He says, a bit apprehensive. I sigh. “It’s Jagger.” He grits his teeth and looks ahead of us as we continue our walk. “Yeah I assumed that was the topic.” “First off, you have nothing to worry about. I only see him as an old friend, nothing more.” I shoot him a look though he doesn’t meet my eyes. He knows there’s more. “But he confessed that he still loves me. He says he wants me to be happy even if it’s not with him, so I don’t think he will try anything.”
~Lindsey~ I watch as Aviana and Jacqueline get hauled away, a small part of me hurting for them. I shiver, hoping they will make it out alive. I had snuck to the cells before in White Fang when Jagger and I were kids. There had been some rogue wolves that attacked a family on the border of the p
~Brady~ Today has been rough. Morning practice went fine, but my mind is so heavy from everything that’s been going on. I hop in my shower and try to relax. Grant and I made amends, but I know he’s still upset with me. I get that she’s family, but I’m surprised he’s so protective of Lindsey
~ Brady ~ A part of me is so pissed I can’t think straight. And I think that’s why I’m aroused. How dare she accuse me of being a bad alpha! I work my ass off for this pack already. I’m devoted to my people. Hell I’d give my life to protect any of them. More importantly, why does it hurt so ba
~Lindsey~ After science class, Deanna and I head to the cafe to meet Callie and Willow. We talk about how horrible that class was as we walk down the hallway when Grant comes up and puts an arm around both of us. “Whaddya say you lovely ladies join us in the courtyard for lunch? It’s surprisin
