Chapter SixAfter I pleaded with Isaac to let me back in so I could have a quick word with Tristan he refused and tossed me out strictly informing the guard at the gate to not let me back in no matter what. I wasn't giving up though, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I wasn't about to let it slip through my fingers.There's no way I'd go back to Little Rock, back to that house with Gary, he'd kill me and dump my body somewhere no one would ever find me and if I approached May or Liam or even KC for help he'd give them hell for it I'm sure of it. My best option is to stay here wherever this is. With renewed determination I stayed by the gate waiting for when Tristan comes out. I was tired, hungry and in pain, my ribs still hurt every time I take a breath. The weather dropped a few more degrees towards evening and I felt miserable. And then by some divine miracle the gates pulled back and a black sedan came into view, I knew if I shouted he wouldn't hear me not in my curr
Chapter Seven“any further delay and it would've been to late.” “what do you mean doctor?” Tristan asked the pack doctor.“she has a few broken ribs , a punctured lung and a ruptured spleen, she's also been bleeding internally. She must've been in a lot of pain.” The doctor explained. “did she say how she got these injuries?” “she fell down the stairs.” Tristan replied, he always had a feeling she was lying about that but he didn't care enough to pry.“falling down the stairs might leave one with a few minor injuries although some cases might be severe such as permanent paralysis but it doesn't result in a few broken ribs and a ruptured spleen unless she’s had multiple falls which doesn't make sense because the injuries were seconds apart, my guess is she was most likely assaulted.” The doctor said.Tristan balled his fists, he could feel his temper rising. So that bastard Gary hit her and left her in such a sorry state? Wait till he gets his hands on the bastard, his claws itches t
Chapter Eight My eyelids fluttered and then my eyes opened only to clamp shut again because of the too bright rays of sunlight streaming into the room through the parted curtains of the window. A moan left my lips at the pain on my side.Pulling back the blanket i sat up with difficulty having momentary memory loss. I couldn't remember where I was or why I was in such a luxurious bed. I rubbed my throbbing temple wincing. If this was a dream I wish to never wake up I thought-except maybe for the ache all over my body-everything was warm and comfortable even the room felt homely and smelled nice. The ground rose up to meet me as i got on my feet and i felt the bile come up to my throat.“oh.” This is not good. I closed my eyes and inhaled and exhaled, once I was calm and I could finally stand without wanting to kiss the floor everything came rushing back: me going back home to get ready for Cara’s party only to find my stepfather Gary stealing my savings, Gary getting violent after I
Chapter Nine“i’m sorry I already threw your old clothes out, they were filthy and torn I didn’t think you’d need them anymore.”I sighed. “it’s okay, I guess it was for the better.” At least I won’t have it around to remind me of Gary or that cursed day and what happened, it’s time for me to move on and forget about the life I had in Little Rock, i’m sure May and Liam would understand. I missed my friends terribly but there's nothing I can do about it.“i brought you some of my daughter's clothes to use for now, she’s about your age and size if i’m not mistaken.” Betsy said and i was sceptical but she simply waved me off. “don’t worry, Cherry was happy for you to have them. Besides she doesn't wear them any more.”“thank you Betsy.” I said taking the clothes from her.“i can’t wait for you to meet Cherry you two will hit it off i’m sure of it.” “sure why not.” At least there's someone my age I can hang out with while i’m here.The doctor came to check up on me and was satisfied with
Chapter TenThe meds knocked me out and I slept through dinner. I tossed and turned until I couldn't bear the hunger pangs eating away at my intestines, the clock on my bedside table read 4am. Tossing the covers aside I leapt out of bed and out of the bedroom tip toeing through the hallway, I debated going to Betsy but then I remembered she doesn't stay in the mansion.Damn it! What rotten luck I have. My belly twisted uncomfortably and I pressed my palm against it before I took the stairs down to the kitchen. Was I even allowed in here? What would Tristan think if he finds me in his kitchen barefoot trying to steal his food?Well it's not stealing per se...plus someone like him rarely goes into the kitchen that’s why he's got servants. I decided on a sandwich and maybe a cup of hot chocolate to wash it down. I put water in the kettle and found bread thankfully then i quickly picked out the ingredients for my sandwich. The water was boiling by the time I finished making the sandwich a
Chapter Eleven“so she’s staying.” Isaac said as they walked to the courtyard where they used often for training. The sky had gone pitch black hours ago almost as quickly as the sun dipped back into the horizon and the pack members had settled in early. It was a little over midnight which was the perfect time for Tristan to let off some steam.“yes.” Tristan swung at Isaac’s head but the Beta was extremely fast ducking so tristan’s fist swiped above his head. “i don't know how I feel about a human being so close.” Isaac said. His wolf Ren was itching to come to the surface the beast had always loved a good fight. ‘not now Ren.’‘such a spoil sport why do you always gotta have all the fun?’‘alright I promise when we go for a run later you're in charge.’Satisfied with Tristan’s response Ren settled back in.“nobody's going to hurt her if that's what you’re worried about.” Tristan had been so distracted by Ren that he didn't have time to prevent Isaac’s right hook. His head tilted b
Chapter TwelveTristan had known she was in his office almost as soon as he walked in. Aside from the fact that she was clearly visible from where she hid under his desk, her scent was intoxicating. It infuriated him to no end but he got himself into this mess when he told her she could stay. Tristan relishes in being in control, the Alpha in him thrives in that, it's how he was able to rule his pack and they respect and fear him because of that and all it took was an auburn haired, doe eyed siren to unravel him. Tristan wanted her like he never wanted any she wolf.Tristan howled in pain, his canines protruding and his claws unsheathing. He gazed down at his chest where Isaac clawed him and snarled at his Beta.“you were distracted.” Isaac said in his defence. “i don’t know where you were man but you were out of it.” Tristan’s eyes slowly reverted back to a brilliant blue, his canines retracted and so did his claws.“don’t ever do that again.” Was all he said before walking away l
Chapter Thirteen.Ugh! How infuriating. Now it’s my fault? He was the one who told me to stay when I was going to leave as soon as he came in and now he is angry at me for obeying his wishes? Well next time i’ll be sure to stay the hell away then!I glared at the door from which he exited, seething but my body betrayed me by shivering at his growl. What was that about any way? I could swear sparks of electricity went between us or did I imagine that? It was tingly and weird.Shaking those thoughts away I sat down to finish the last of my sandwich and hot chocolate that was cold chocolate now. I had just finished rinsing the last of the dishes I had used when the kitchen door opened and I whipped my head around to find Betsy who was surprised to see me there.“oh dear you’re up early you should’ve waited for me to get you some break fast.”“oh it wasn't that much of a hassle I was happy to do it. Besides, I couldn't exactly wait you see...”I laughed awkwardly. Betsy looked confuse
