2025-05-20 18:00:14I woke, slightly startled and confused. It took a minute to realise that I was in fact in my own bed and not back out in the garden sinking my teeth into Brodie. The dreams had been so vivid, and I could still taste his blood on my tongue. I lifted my hand to my head, the headache pounding at its core seemed to make the room spin before me. If it had been just the headache, I would have considered it a normal hangover like every teen gets at some point. Except it felt like my whole body was affected.
My muscles ached, and I felt so weak still, just like I had the night before. When I had been in front of Brodie, my blood had felt like fire coursing through my veins, but it had turned to ice overnight. I slumped back down on my pillow and closed my eyes, trying to guard against the worst of the sensations filling me. I wanted to remove the pain so badly, but I knew no amount of painkillers would do the job.
My head was still such a mess. I had no idea what was going on

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

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
