LOGIN“You are saying you saw her here?” Laura asked, her voice so low it was almost a hush. “I saw her by the window and she vanished immediately,” Jenine replied.Fear glistened in her eyes like the moon reflecting on glass. “She was the lady I saw in my dream too. Should I be scared?”“You're scared already. Telling you not to be won't really do anything to help, would it?”Laura placed a hand on her trembling shoulder. “Calm down.” A sigh escaped Jenine's mouth, her lips quivering as it did. She wrung her fingers together, her eyes staring down at her hands. “So, what now?” her eyelids fluttered to Laura. “What do we do?”“I… I don't know,” she shook her head, her short hair bouncing as dewy-eyed Jenine stared at her. What could she tell her? That it was going to stop? That everything was going to be alright? “I really don't know Jenine ,” she said again. “Let's hope for your sake, that you were seeing things that weren't there.”“Then what about the dream I had? I literally saw her
Jenine's POV “Mum?” I called softly as my eyes opened, the pitch blackness hitting me in the face as I stared up the ceiling. It was all a dream. I sat up as the tears welled up in my eyes. My blurry eyes adjusted, looking around the faintly lit room.I had seen my mum in my dream, wearing her favourite dress—the pink and white flower patterned dress she loved to wear to the park—a bright light haloing her as her laughter echoed, filling me with nostalgia. Her lips moved as she said something, smiling at me. And then suddenly, the bright light had gone and a pitch darkness took over. I found myself falling through the dark void, my screams piercing through the darkness, my arms and legs flailing wildly.And then I saw her—a woman. A foreboding aura hung around her.Her eyes sparkled as she walked towards me, arms outstretched, muttering some words I couldn't understand. I scurried to my feet. I tried to shrink away from her touch but my body remained rooted to the spot. My eyes c
“Don't you think we should tell the Alpha? I think we should. What do you think, Warren?”“What I think is that you should learn to mind your fucking business,” Warren growled.“Come on. We can't just pretend we saw nothing. What if this piece of information helps to know what she's up to? We haven't seen her since the day she disappeared from the pack house. Jon, say something,” he looked at the other guard, his arm waving wildly through the air.“You know Warren,” Jon said looking at him, “we should listen to Rowe. He has a point. Why would she come to visit the dungeon alone and at night? It doesn't add up.”“She's gone Jon,” Warren's voice rose with exasperation. “She's fucking gone and I don't think she's coming back but if she eventually does, we'll be ready, waiting for her.”“You seem to forget she tossed us around like pebbles,” Rowe said. “That woman is fucking powerful. We don't stand a chance against Orchid. Heck, the full pack warriors don't stand a chance against her and
Jenine's POV “Why is it so fucking difficult to deal with guys?” Everything had been going pretty well, the conversations and everything. Every damn thing. I could already feel the spark as we conversed. I even went out of my way to flirt a little with him and he had just decided to leave? Talmbout “you should go home. It's not safe out here.”Well, at least he laughed when I nearly ruined everything by talking out loud to myself. And he remembered my name. I thought he'd forgotten it. I had almost said yes when he offered to walk me home but I'm not sure how Laura would have liked it. Ah well…I turned the knob, pushing the door open as I walked into the house. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked back, my eyes darting around quickly. I'd felt a pair of eyes on me, watching me. Either that or I was hallucinating and I really hoped it was the latter.*****“What the hell Luca? Where were you? I'd been looking for you for years?” Elisha's boisterous voice bounced off the walls of
“Don't wander too far,” Laura called cheeringly from the kitchen, the foreboding tone in her voice gone now.“It’s just a stroll,” Jenine called back. “I won't be out long,” she said walking out the front door.“Holla if you need me. I'll hear you.”“Alright, rub it in,” she muttered.She and Laura hadn't really said a word to each other since she mentioned Elisha's name to her. She needed the stroll to clear her head. The awkwardness that hung in the house like mist needed time to evaporate.The dry leaves crackled under her feet as her shoes crushed them, walking deeper into the woods. She stayed close to the road. “Even if something were to happen, Laura will get to me quickly if I scream,” she thought as her eyes darted around, taking in her surroundings. She had come to trust her maybe way too much. The deeper she walked, the less conscious of her surroundings she got. It was almost like the woods called her to itself, its pull strong on her. So strong she couldn't resist it.
Elisha's POV “Hey Karl,” I called as he walked past me. His eyes squinted like they always did. “Have you seen Luca?”“No,” he replied, his voice flat. He kept walking. I had reasons to believe he didn't like me but did I care? Absolutely not. He could go to hell for all I cared. “You should check his room though,” he turned to me.He wasn't in his room. I'd already checked. “Where could this fucker be?” I muttered walking out the pack house, the car keys dangling in my hands. I hadn't seen him since he left the mall in a hurry and I had reasons to believe something was wrong. I could feel it in my guts but what?Today couldn't get any worse. I drove out the gates. Luca had abandoned me for all I knew. He'd bailed out on the shopping HE had suggested—leaving before it even began. And I had promised some random girl that I was going to find her. Fucking hilarious. I decided I was going to do it then. I was going to find the girl. Since I couldn't find my friend, I might as wel
