The Darkness Between Us Chapter 24
RYDER.I dragged my forearm across my lips so hard that my lips burned, like I could make the last five fucking minutes come off my skin. Pissed didn’t even come close. Marcia had forced her mouth onto mine, and all I could think about was Briella. For all I knew, the bond had given her a front-row seat to every second of it and she was out there somewhere right now taking it as proof that I am indeed the piece of shit she already knew I was.I didn't wait around to see if Marcia had anything else stupid to say. I turned my back on her and headed straight for Cassie's house.The entire way there, I rehearsed a dozen different versions of what I could say, and every single one sounded like complete shit.‘Hey, sorry my former bad decision ambushed me with her tongue. Think your best friend still wants anything to do with me?’Yeah. Fucking flawless. Nothing screamed, trust me, quite like showing up with that explanation.I was still trying to come up with something that didn’t make me s

BRIELLA. It didn't take long for me to decide on my path forward. I had already decided to leave the pack before Junie talked to me. If anything, it just helped solidify my choice.'What about Ryder?' Tala asked me.My wolf was torn between wanting her mate and realizing the danger that Alpha Parker posed. Junie hadn't said it outright, but our gut knew that we were right about him.'You heard what I did,' I told her.My wolf sighed and shook her head. 'Yes, I did. Maybe there was more to it than what we heard. We didn't exactly give him a chance to explain or anything.'I thought about it for a moment and had to concede that she was right.'We have to get somewhere safe first. Then we can reach out to him. But we have to be careful.'Junie was outside, watering the plants when I went in search of her. The look in her eyes when she saw me made me think that she already knew my answer."You're leaving," she said. It wasn't a question."I have to." My voice came out steadier than I felt
The Darkness Between Us Chapter 22
BRIELLA.Junie didn't respond immediately. She folded dishcloth slowly, as though she needed a moment to collect her thoughts."Come sit with me. This isn't the type of talk you want to have while standing up."My stomach twisted, but I followed her to the small kitchen table. Junie lowered herself into the chair across from me."I have to tell you something about myself first. Before I say anything else.""Okay." The word came out smaller than I intended, unsure of where she was going with this."I'm a seer."The words settled heavily over the kitchen. I'd heard the term before from old stories Aunt Dee used to tell, the kind meant to explain things that had no simple explanations. I'd always assumed seers as just legends or something."I thought seers were extinct…”"Most people think that." A faint, humorless smile touched her mouth. "It's safer that way. For us, and for the people we love.""Safer how?"She was quiet for a long moment, her gaze drifting toward the woods beyond the

BRIELLA.My eyelids felt impossibly heavy when I finally managed to pry them open. For several long moments, I simply lay there, staring at the cream-colored ceiling overhead while my mind struggled to catch up with reality.I blinked, my gaze drifting around the room came into focus. Cream walls. A white dresser polished to a shine. A rocking chair by the window with a half-finished quilt draped over its back like someone had just stepped away mid-stitch.Family photographs lined the shelves, smiling faces a painful reminder that this wasn't home.I winced as everything came flooding back.The amazing night with Ryder. Overhearing what he had said to his friend. His words sliced through me again, reminding me how foolish I'd been to believe he'd choose me. Some might call my decision to leave dramatic, even reckless. Frankly, I didn't give a fuck what anyone thought.I was driving away from the pack when a white-hot agony exploded through my chest. Like someone reached inside me and w

RYDER. My breath caught. It was unusual for a pack member to block out their Alpha. The hierarchy was woven into our DNA, woven into our very instincts, making our voices nearly impossible to ignore through the mindlink. Blocking an Alpha, or a future Alpha in my case, required exceptional mental discipline. Control that most wolves never achieved.But Briella had done it effortlessly. I shouldn't be surprised though. I reached for the mate bond, but I once again felt a wall.Fucking hell! This was a mess.I tore my phone from my pocket, hope surging through me. One call. That's all I needed. One conversation to make her understand.My thumb hovered over my contacts. The hope shattered.I never asked for her number. The realization landed like a punch to the gut. I'd been so consumed with finding my mate, with memorizing every curve of her body, every sound she made when she experienced pleasure, that I'd never thought of asking for one thing that would've let me tell her how terribly

RYDER."What caused the delay?"Dad's voice was calm, controlled, that same measured tone he'd wielded my entire life. The voice of treaty negotiations and Alpha lessons. The one that never revealed weakness.The scrape of a chair against hardwood made my pulse spike. I did my best to control myself as I eavesdropped. It wasn’t like I did this all the time or anything."We had to source this batch from farther away than normal." Alpha Tyrion's response came carefully, each word chosen with precision."Why?""There have been reports about missing…products."The hesitation before that last word sliced through the air like a blade, catching my attention immediately. They weren't discussing medical supplies. Not food shipments. Nothing one would ordinarily consider products that packs received.'Something's wrong,' Axel murmured in my mind, his presence coiling tight with unease.Dad didn't respond immediately. I could picture him perfectly—leaning back in that leather chair, fingers steep
The Darkness Between Us Chapter 2
BRIELLA.Morning came far too early.I was tired as hell because my body had been too keyed-up for any type of good rest last night. It had taken forever to actually fall asleep after I got back from Tala's run—too long spent replaying what happened at the lake. The peacefulness. The shadows.But m

BRIELLA.The world had a way of reminding me I was nothing. That I didn’t exist. That was what the world had beaten into me over the years.My family.My pack.They whispered and mocked me, always finding different ways to tear me down. They were creative. I had to give them that. But I survived be

RYDER.I watched Briella from my spot without her even realizing it. I wasn't certain how she hadn't picked up on my scent yet, but I took it as a temporary blessing because it gave me a minute to think, to consider everything.This turn of events was entirely unexpected and fucking impossible to w
The Darkness Between Us Chapter 3
BRIELLA.My cousin had been on a one-woman mission all week, and I was her primary target. She was determined to execute a full-blown shopping trip that'd most likely include sparkles, sequins, makeup, and other torture devices designed specifically to make me squirm. Why? The Full Moon Festival, o
