MasukMy eyes flung open, and a scream escaped as I felt a sharp pain on my left side. I couldn’t turn my back without making it worse, but I was lying on my left side, which I knew wasn’t helping. Curling up, I coughed out sobs as the pain got excruciatingly worse. The door to my room slammed open, and the bed dipped.
“Nate, what’s going on? Talk to me.” Noah was frantic.
“I…” I tried to speak, but it only made me cough out sobs.
Finn stood in the doorway. “Noah, what’s going on?”
“Call Jake, Finn. Get him here.”
“He’s at the conference. I doubt he has his phone on.”
Noah growled. “Then call the damn school and tell them to find him! Now Finn!”
The pain wasn’t getting any better, and I was trying to take quick breaths through my nose, but it wasn’t working. “Left side…help…flip…” Each wor
My wonderful lovely readers. My gosh this one has been a journey hasn’t it. I feel like I haven’t talk to you all in forever. Mostly because I’ve been setting up chapters to post in the future and I can’t do an author note when that happens.First, I want to say thank you. Thank you so so much. I’m sure the past months have been a bit frustrating when I comes to updates (don’t worry - it’s not just you). So baring with me and sticking it out, means more to me than you could possibly imagine.Second, I want to say this is not the end. This is an intermission. A break or hiatus if you want to call it. With updates being so scarce, I’m sure you’re thinking that I should have done this earlier. And maybe I should have. I wanted to push and get to a point though where I felt okay and not like I was going to regret stepping away for a moment.So far, this story has 125 chapters. That is my second longest (behind Shift) and we currently have 252,800 words. That is nuts! That’s more than Twili
The walk to Aelia’s grave was blank. Really, I didn’t know how I worked up the nerve to come here. I’d ignored the need to talk to her, thinking I could, but after the fiasco of the last week getting hounded by the pack at every turn, it overrode my feelings. So, I quietly made the walk down south, telling Sam and Charles I’d be back by dark.Despite Noah, Finn, and Nate being gone, her stone was still clean and free of leaves. Standing in front of it brought so much pain back. The river was fairly high, since the snow had melted for the winter.Letting out a sigh, I squatted down. “You know, I wish…”Stopping myself, I ran my hands through my hair a few times. None of this was going to come out right. My frustration made me laugh. I was an idiot. Somehow, I couldn’t even work up the nerve to talk to Aelia’s grave.“I have five pups.” Smiling, I looked down at the ground in front of the stone. “Five. Thanks to you, apparently. You and, of course, Eros not being able to keep it in our p
It was quiet. The house was quiet, and my head was quiet. Something that rarely happened lately. Sam had his pup, and the three of them were currently spending time with Sam’s parents. After hearing screaming and crying for a few weeks, as well as panicked parents racing around, the quiet was both welcoming and lonely.If anything, it reminded me that Nate was on his own with three. Reaching out, I felt the barrier and pulled back without bothering to push any harder. He hadn’t reached out, but apparently Finn had talked to Sam. Finn had his pup, and they were all swapping horror stories. Sam said that Nate and the triplets were doing well. That was all the information they allowed me to have.Getting up, I knew I needed to get these nerves out. If I kept them bottled up, I’d end up snapping. Not something I wanted to do. Heading out, I was planning on running, but catching the guys at the training ground made me turn. They were outside today, considering it was a nice day and we had
***Silas’ POV***I fell back from my stool, and my head hit the floor. Sam clambered around the kitchen table.“Silas, what the hell? Did you fall asleep?”I frantically tried to make sense of what was around me. I had been pushed out of the bond. It took me a moment to realize why. Nate had lost consciousness. Tears filled my eyes. There was no way I was going to lose him, right? He couldn’t die.“Silas! You’re freaking me out!”“Sam, call Noah.”He shook his head, a confused look on his face. “Why…?”“Damn it, Sam. Call him. Now!”Sam nodded as he spun around and grabbed his phone off the counter. I hear him dial the number and put it on speaker. Getting up, I touched the back of my head. No blood, but there would probably be a killer headache later on in the day. The pho
It was too much for him, and his hands left the wall. He turned and slammed the bedroom door behind him. I even heard the front door slam so hard that it shook the walls. My hand came up and covered my mouth as I sobbed. Noah reached out and took my other hand.“He’ll forgive you. You’re just doing what he needs.”I nodded and tried to gulp down the sobs. “Can you turn off the lights?”He nodded and got up. The lights turned off, but there was a soft glow from the candles. Tears slipped down the sides of my face as I laid my head back.“What else do you need?”“I need you to be strong. This is probably going to be the worst pain I’ve ever been through. I’m going to scream and cry, and I need you to hold it together. I need you…” I inhaled sharply as I felt another contraction. This one was big enough that I hissed as it made me curl up a bit, shifting my side. “&he
