Lilly and Bastian came by to personally thank me for bringing Harry back to them. Lilly hugged me hard while thanking me over and over for what I’d done for her.
I couldn’t seem to find my voice, even when Bastian warned me never to do anything like that again. He said he was more grateful to have his son back than I will ever know, but he won’t allow me to perform such magic again. He drummed into my head the same thing Anja and Leander had already told me; the King will have my head next time.
I didn’t say anything; I nodded my head so he’d understand that I’d heard him. I know that I’m lucky to be still living and working at the mansion. I’m more fortunate to be alive. I won’t let them down again.
The only person who hasn’t given me that speech is Sara. I don’t understand what she sees in me, but
It’s 8:PM by the time I get back to my room, and I startle to see Sara sitting on my bed, waiting for me.I don’t know how she can want to be in my room; it’s dark and dank. It’s not much better than a prison cell. But I don’t complain, it doesn’t smell bad, and at least I have a roof over my head.“Where have you been? I thought you’d have finished work hours ago.”I smile slightly while shrugging. “There was a lot to do today.”“You look awfully pale, Jenna. Are you okay?”I smile while nodding my head.I can’t let Sara know how much pain I’m in, and I hope I’m doing a good enough job of hiding it.“Just tired. What brings you here agai
I don’t know how Sara convinced her in-laws to allow me to leave with her or why Leander saidyes, but I am so grateful.Waiting for the hour to pass is excruciating. But it’s given me time to think about my future, one without Luther. It’s painful still that he doesn’t want me, but I know that once I reject him and get past the pain of it, I’ll move on. Unless, of course, it kills me. But I hope that I’m stronger than that.With the help of my friends, I hope I can be one of the few Omegas to survive the rejection period.If I manage it, I’m going to become somebody worth knowing. I won’t stop until I become the person I know I was born to be.“Heard you were leaving.”I spin on the spot to face Philip. I should have known that
“I hope you’re ready!” I sing-song, making Lilly laugh. She decided to come with me to collect Jenna.I’d spoken to Lilly first a few days ago about me taking Jenna with me to Greenrock. I love Jenna; she is so warm and friendly. She’s always been there when I’ve needed someone to talk to. I seem to have adopted her as a sister, my little sister.I can’t wait for us to leave and start a new life. I’m going to make sure that wonderful girl gets the life she’s always dreamed of.I open Jenna’s door and almost drop to my knees. “Oh, Goddess,”Lilly pushes past me and rushes to Jenna’s side. “Jenna, can you hear me?”I don’t understand what I’m seeing; my eyes don’t seem to want to tell me the truth
“Sara!” I jump out of my seat and rush into Leander’s arms. He holds me tightly and kisses my head. “It’s okay, baby; I’m here now.”“What happened?” Anja asks while stroking the back of Lilly’s head.Lilly keeps her arm’s around Bastian but turns to her parents. I keep my head on Leander’s chest while Lilly explains the situation to everyone.Naturally, Orrin is fuming and order’s guards to look for anyone suspicious and bring them to him should they find anyone.“Has anyone told Luther?”“No,” I shake my head at Orrin. “And no one should. He made it clear that Jenna means nothing to him, so he has no right to know.”“Jenna is Luther’s mate!&rdq
“Do you really think it’s possible?”I’ve been with my grandparents for over a week, and we’ve made some headway. My grandfather believes that there is a way to remove Lorcan.My grandfather thinks that there’s a better way to draw Lorcan out of my body without needing a host body waiting.According to Serafina, the oracle that lives deep in the forest, there’s a spell she knows that would bring Lorcan a life of his own. She’d need my mother because she’d need to lay her hands on my mother’s stomach.Serafina believes that in doing so, then drawing Lorcan out of me, he’d appear before us as he would if he’d been born and grown the way Leander and I had.It’s tricky, and it could kill me; Serafina didn’t lie about that.
I’m in such a rush to get to Jenna that I don’t see my uncle blocking my path.“Not so fast,”I growl at Adrian.He raises his eyebrow at me.My uncle is a Beta. I’m an Alpha; he has no right to stop me!He’s flanked by guards, who I assume were on their way to collect Anna and her abusive offspring.“Calm down, Luther. I know where you’re going, but you can’t go to the infirmary looking like this,” He runs his finger up and down my body.I look down at myself and realise that I look like I’ve been in the middle of a battle. I’m covered from head to toe in blood.As badly as I want to get to Jenna, I know I can’t go looking the wa
It’s so dark here, whereverhereis.I don’t know where I am, but I can hear voices calling me to come home. I’m scared because I can’t find my way back. I try to follow the voices, but most of the time, I only recognise one of them – Luther.He tells me that he loves me and needs me, but I know it’s all in my imagination. Luther doesn’t love me; he doesn’t even want me.So why would he be calling me to come home?Do I even have a home?Sara, I remember Sara offering me a home within Greenrock pack. I wouldn’t be a slave there; I would be there as her friend and little sister. I wanted that so much, but I can’t go
It’s been weeks, and Jenna still hasn’t woken from her slumber.Toby is concerned because he believes Jenna should be well on her way to getting physical therapy underway.I’ve tried talking to Jenna, we all have, but nothing makes a difference. She isn’t healing, and Toby can’t detect Jenna’s wolf. If the wolf dies, then there is no hope for Jenna. She won’t survive without Shadow.However, it doesn’t make sense how Jenna has survived this long in a coma. It’s practically unheard of for a wolf to live longer than two weeks after falling into a deep slumber. Yet here, my Jenna is still sleeping but not waking.A couple of times, Mum delved into Jenna’s mind. She wanted to know if anything was rushing around in there that could help us bring Jenna back. Sadly, all Mum sees i
