The Curse of the Seasons Chapter 29
HarleyNightmares devoured my sleep, each worse than the last. Nightmares of Julian raping me as he covered my mouth to stop me from screaming, of him clawing at his throat, blood oozing from the scratches his fingernails left as he suffocated on the water in his throat, and lastly, the look of disappointment on Jay's face as I sat in the back of a police car on my way to being sentenced for murder.Each time I awoke, I found Cole holding me close and whispering soothing words into my ear.By the time his alarm went off, I was sure that we were both more exhausted than we were when we'd gone to bed.“I'll make us some coffee,” he had said groggily as he got up, heading to the kitchen in

ColeSpending the evening with Willow had seemed a no-brainer at the time, but it quickly became rather obvious that Harley and her did not see eye to eye. It made me worry.I get it, you don’t need to be friends with everyone - but Willow was the face of the company I had set up. She had also taken over some of the communication between Lana and myself. After all, it was natural for her to be contacting her best friend. I was just lucky that the military hadn’t joined the dots, or else they would have figured out who Willow was.“You said Lana and Rhett will be going to the beach house?” I clarified, sitting down on the sofa and pulling Harley onto my lap.It was an uncharacteris

HarleyThe words I was about to say lodged in my throat as the door opened and a dainty woman walked in, the blue accents in her black hair making her seem more like a punk rocker than the white button up shirt, black pencil skirt and stoic heels suggested.“I'm glad to see you're still alive,” she teased as she walked over to Cole, completely ignoring me, and kissed his cheek.He looked slightly awkward but didn't push her away. “Willow, you're looking well yourself.”She huffed dramatically and folded her arms. “No thanks to you! I swear, I lose a year off my life every time you go radio silent.”If I

ColeI've lived this scenario a hundred times over in the last couple of years. Leaving a place in the middle of the night with sirens and helicopters chasing me down. It seemed to happen whenever I was getting comfortable in a single area. I guess that's why I was constantly moving.It was like a never-ending nightmare all because the General felt it was worth the hunt.“Where are we going?” Harley asked as we pulled up at a petrol station.I shook my head at her, my eyes never leaving the small group of men hovering beside a black SUV. They laughed about something before they got into their vehicle and drove off, not sparing us a glance.

HarleyI ran as fast as I could away from the shed, not daring to look back until I had broken through the trees and found myself blocked by a cattle fence, four strands of wire running parallel to each other and secured to iron posts. I easily slipped through the fence and walked steadily between the cows, every breath I took came out ragged.In the centre of the field, I fell to my knees as the emotions poured out of me. The fact that I had almost been assaulted played over and over in my mind and I felt dirty. I rubbed at my skin where Julian had touched me, feeling as if his lips had tainted my flesh.I screamed in anger as the feeling just wouldn't subside. The cows glanced at me before they lazily moved away, chewing their cud at a safe distance from the ma

ColeI stormed out of the building, even more frustrated than when I had first entered. The Charter House had been an utter bust. The run-down house was completely empty and it looked as if even the rats had given up on the place and had moved out, leaving the shabby building to spiders and the ghosts of the past.The bar seemed like the next logical place. Typically bars had lots of people going in and out, most of them completely inebriated. It wouldn't have seemed strange for the owner to carry an unconscious girl through the doors - people would just think she couldn't hold her liquor and that good old Bandit was making her lie down and recover before sending her off on her way.I'd entered the place filled with hope and when I noticed the bar was fille
