“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
“How’s she doing?”I turn my head and look at my mother.She smiles while taking a seat beside me and taking my free hand in her own.I hear Lorcan sigh contentedly inside my head, even though I know he didn’t mean for me to hear it. Whenever Mum shows affection towards me, Lorcan feels it, and he relishes it.Mum is the only person Lorcan connects with entirely, and I know that he wants nothing more than to have her hold him when he’s free of me.I smile slightly and shake my head. “There’s been no change.”Mum nods knowingly.“I can’t imagine how hard this has been for you, Luther. Just stay strong; Jenna will come back to you.”I wish I ha
Light penetrates behind my closed eyes, and life penetrates my body. The alinement of bones forces a scream and a howl from my lips. I feel like I’m floating, yet I’m being forced back into place at the same time.Agony fills my body with no reprieve. I twist and shake with the effort to pull away from the hands, holding me down.“It’s okay, Jenna,” I feel a soothing hand stroke my hair back from my forehead. “Everything is okay, baby.”My body jolts in protest.“Let me go!” I scream at the top of my lungs. I don’t know if my eyes are open or closed, but I can’t see anything. “Let me go!” I scream again.Suddenly, I feel light. The pain is gone, and I can breathe easily.Many voices suddenly f
Within seconds, the room is empty of all but Luther and me. A shiver runs through my spine as Luther sits next to me, his knee against my hip, so he’s facing me. He looks at me for a moment; I have to swallow the lump in my throat.I don’t know what to say, and I’m scared my voice won’t come out strong if I try.I bite the inside of my cheek as Luther takes my small hand in his big one. He’s never touched me so gently before. I have to bite my lip to ward off my emotions.“How are you feeling?”I swallow again. “Um, I’m doing better.”“I imagine you’re wondering how you’re sitting here with no injuries.”I nod while holding onto Luther’s hand even tighter. I don’t want him to
“Though I understood why you said and did what you did, you hurt me badly, Luther. I’m not talking about when you had me locked in a prison cell, changed in silver and tortured,”This time, Luther lowers his head in shame.I can’t stop myself from cupping his cheek. The stubble on his jaw tickles my fingertips; it’s coarse but yet soft to touch.“Luther, I’m not trying to hurt you. I’m just trying to explain how I feel. I wanted to reject you because I thought it would be easier for both of us if I did what you so obviously wouldn’t.”“I’m so sorry, Jenna,”I can hear the sincerity in Luther’s words, and it makes my heart sore with love. I bite my lower lip to hide the smile, trying to escape me.
