Chapter 19

I laid in the grass waiting for him to turn, but he didn’t. He just stood there, staring me down with the same gleeful arrogance that always existed within him. I still felt odd. It wasn’t the booze, but I didn’t know what it was. I had never felt so alive. It felt like fire was pumping through my veins. I could feel the lust inside of me. It wasn’t like the lust that I had felt for Pip. It was something else, something more raw. The blood lust was the only answer. I had no idea how it was even possible, but it was there, as plain as day.

The smell of him seemed to pull me towards him like a magnetism impossible to ignore. He never moved. He was waiting for me, almost taunting me. I flew at him, landing my fist squarely in his jaw. His face moved from the impact, but it moved back towards me just as quickly. I went to throw another

• The Whispers in the Woods   Chapter 74

  The sun was getting too high and was peaking over the mountains too much. If it got much higher, it would be too hard to hide my position. I thought over my options. I could head back to the camp and call it quits, but if I did that, Marcus was still likely to come and it would be leading him right to the camp. I started regretting agreeing to being so close to the camp. The only other option was to stay and still take on Marcus, knowing that every second that passed, it was getting more and more dangerous.Gerald wasn’t wrong. I had no idea what I was truly facing, and I needed the element of surprise to stand a good chance of doing any damage to Marcus. Beneath the leaves, I heard rustling and lowered my head. I couldn’t see anything. Staying as still as I could as I tried to take in my surroundings. Nearly falling from my perch as something leaped into my view. A bloody deer.I watched as it bounced its way into the clearing. It looked so serene as it dipped its hea

• The Whispers in the Woods   Chapter 73

  When I woke the next morning, Brodie was still sleeping. I had expected him to wake the second I moved and insist on coming with me into the forest. I moved so slowly and quietly around the cabin. Taking all my things upstairs before getting ready. I couldn’t risk waking him. If I did, everything would have been for nothing. I wrote a note to him. Explaining what I had seen and revealing my secret to him. I pocketed the note and slipped out of the door. Instead of heading straight out of the camp, I took a detour to the meeting cabin. As soon as he realised I was gone, he would call everyone together. Setting up search parties to track me down. It was the ideal place to leave the note so that he wouldn’t see it until everything was all over.As I reached the door, I had second thoughts. I didn’t want to be alone in the world again. That wasn’t a good enough reason to stay by Brodie’s side while he and Cassie made a fool of me. As soon as I thought of the pair of them, I could

  I tried to ignore him, but he didn’t even attempt to move himself. Once he was done speaking, he lay his chin on my shoulder. Leaving me no choice but to just stand there with the pressure of his chin digging into that soft hollow of my shoulder. “We have a plan now. The only question left is when we want to implement it? How long does the pack need to prepare? My family and I are ready to get going whenever you guys are.” I continued focusing on each person around the table and tried to maintain my confidence. It was hard to concentrate when Brodie was so close, even under normal circumstances, let alone when I wanted to hurt him in ways he couldn’t even imagine. Gerald raised again and under normal circumstances, I would have sat down while he said his piece, but with Brodie leaning on me, it wasn’t an option. “Twenty-four hours i

• The Whispers in the Woods   Chapter 71

  I couldn’t fall apart. I couldn’t go back to being the weak creature I had always been before. Pulling myself up from the dirt and dusting myself off carefully, I took a look around to see if anyone had seen me. It looked like everyone was still going about their lives as though nothing had happened. I took a deep breath and peaked around the corner. They were gone. I wondered if Brodie had heard my thoughts. He was probably too busy to bother thinking about me, let alone trying to sense me.I stepped out from behind the cabin and headed straight to the meeting room we had been in before. I would tell Jackson that I couldn’t find Brodie and, given the seriousness of the matter, that we should start without him. I was done taking a backseat to him, with putting him and his place in the pack first.It didn’t take long for everyone to start arriving and I purposely sat in Brodie’s chair as they all took theirs. “Sorry to pull you all back again, but we need to come up wit

  We headed down the narrow steep path that led down to the water’s edge. It was such a beautiful place, even if getting to it didn’t seem particularly safe. I had expected us to stop when we reached the water, but Jackson just kept going. Following the dark grey stone path alongside the water. We were a little higher than the water’s edge and the path seemed to get more and more narrow the further we went.When we reached the edge of the waterfall, the path was only just wide enough for us to stand with our backs against the cliff. I wanted to reach out and touch the water, but I couldn’t because Jackson was in the way. I watched on as he lifted his leg really high and disappeared from view. He had disappeared behind the water, but there was so much spray I couldn’t see him at all.“Do you trust me?” As his hand came back out of the water, I gripped on to it as tightly as I could. Mirroring his movements as he heaved me upwards on to a ledge. The ledge was just as narro

• The Whispers in the Woods   Chapter 69

  I stepped inside the cabin and couldn’t help but wonder how Jackson would react to my presence. It was clear he and Milly were close, but that didn’t necessarily confirm she was anything to do with Brodie. I was disappointed to find he had his back to me when I walked in the door. He was laid down on a brown leather sofa, with his head laid on the arm closest to me. Milly was happily climbing all over him and forcing him to groan, no doubt with pain from whatever Brodie had done to him.Jackson’s cabin seemed so different to Brodie’s. It was much more homely and there were pictures of family on the walls and a canvas of some sort of waterfall over the fireplace. Laid along the back of the sofa was a beautiful red and orange blanket, and there were even cushions dotted around. If I hadn’t known better, I would have assumed he didn’t live alone. I wondered if the difference was because Brodie hadn’t been in his cabin for long.“Jacky?” He leapt up from the sofa and sent
