I held my breath as I waited for him to respond. I could tell he was mulling it over. Trying to process my decision and how he felt about it. Although that shouldn’t have taken long, I already knew how he was going to take it, badly. I just wanted him to hurry up, to rip the band aid off, so to speak. “I’ll start getting everything packed up, but it will have to wait a little while, at least. It’s a long distance to be travelling with three newborns.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He had completely changed his stance, and I had no idea what had prompted it. I might have been more comfortable with it if I had at least understood.
I might have been uncomfortable with his sudden change in stance, but it wasn’t worth going through it all. We had time to discuss it further. Jackson was right that we wouldn’t be able to travel straight away. Even if the babies had been up to the journey, arrangements needed to be made, regardless. I threw

Brodie I couldn’t believe she had agreed to come back to the camp with me. I headed back to the hotel and talked to her along the way. When I walked into the room, I was sharing with Marcus, I decided it was best not to tell him anything for the time being. I needed to speak to Esme and find out what she wanted to do about him. Given her reaction to him when he walked into the house, I guessed she wouldn’t be comfortable letting him come back to the camp. Even after our talk, I wasn’t sure I forgave his past actions. I wasn’t angry enough to still want him dead, though. Having spent time with him, it seemed ridiculous to think he even had it in him to contemplate killing Esme. I wanted to know more. To find out what had driven him to such extremes, but I could tell it was a sore po

EsmeDespite the way Brodie had left me pining for him, I hadn’t changed my mind. We needed to be back at the camp. I started trying to pack up the small amount of things we all owned. Making sure I knew where everything was so that I could still find things for the triplets if I needed anything. Trying to concentrate on the practicalities instead of on the situation between me and Brodie, whatever that was. I needed something to take my mind off it all. Not to mention the shouting that was going on outside, just below my window. Whatever Jackson and Mikkel were arguing about, I hoped they sorted it out. Not that even I could see a way forward for the pair.Jackson was adamant he wouldn’t stay, and Mikkel could hardly come to the camp with us. We had already nearly exposed ourselves to him, and that was without a camp full of werewolves. It just seemed so wrong that I had a chance at love with Brodie, but Jackson’s chance was being taken away fro

BrodieI stopped almost as soon as the door closed behind me. Staring at the bloody thing like it had magical powers to stop me from being so stupid. Every part of my body screamed at me to return to her. The feeling of her against me was like a drug that I would never be able to get enough of. That was the entire problem. I found it so hard to control myself around her. The idea that I had managed to hurt her within seconds made me want to scream. The anger was pounding through me and it took every bit of self-control to keep it contained.I didn’t even know what any of it meant. I wanted to believe it, but I didn’t dare. If I started thinking of her as mine again and she pulled away again, I wouldn’t survive the pain. If it hadn’t been for that single hint that I had hurt her, I would have gotten lost in the moment. I couldn’t trust myself not to lose control and hurt her again. I ached for her too badly to have any control over my actions. Eve

EsmeHe didn’t answer me, but I instantly felt him getting closer. I felt bad. I should have made it clear that it wasn’t an emergency. It wasn’t, but it felt pretty urgent. It wasn’t even a me and Brodie thing. Brodie had specialist knowledge because of his position. Jackson had started pacing as soon as I had said Brodie’s name. He knew that second what I was doing, and it was clear he disapproved. I was also pretty sure he had no idea why I needed to speak to Brodie. The pain lasted a while, but I dealt with it. Frankly, it could never have been worse than the birth.Brodie walked through the door sweating and I felt bad all over again. “What’s wrong?”“Jackson, can you take Penny, please?” He gave me a look but gave in. Brodie gave me a look too, but I guessed it was because of the use of the name he had suggested. Their looks couldn’t have been more different. Brodie emulated pride and happiness. Jackson was just angry with me and he

EsmeI waited until Jackson had left for work before I made my move. He wasn’t far, but it was enough distance for me to be sure I would be undisturbed. Taking a few deep breaths. I wasn’t even sure what it was I wanted to say, but I knew it would be difficult. I had to say his name several times before he responded at all. It proved he wasn’t listening all the time. He didn’t say anything at all. His response was the warmth that spread over me, letting me know he was there. It was as though he didn’t know what he was supposed to say to me anymore.“How are you?” I wasn’t just trying to make conversation. I was actually worried about him. After what Tyler had said, it made me reconsider everything I had thought about the interaction between him and Jackson. I had judged him without even considering it might not have been him causing the drama.“Warmer than I have been for the last couple of months, at least. I stayed close by in case you wanted to talk.
