2025-06-05 18:00:39I looked at Brodie and realised at that moment I was looking to him for help. Despite everything he had done, some part of me still trusted him to protect me. I had no reason to believe in him, but something inside of me wanted him to be telling the truth. In reality, I had little choice but to put a degree of trust in him. I certainly couldn’t trust anyone else at the camp. I just had to stay alive long enough that I could find a way out. How that would even be possible when he knew my every thought escaped me completely.
“Stay out of sight. It’s just Jackson and I’ve got to head out with him, anyway. I’ll lock the door and I’m the only one with a key. I’ll be gone for an hour or so. It will give you time to take it all in. I am sorry that it had to be like this.” I did as he said and moved to the far side of the bed. There was no way Jackson would be able to see me, even with the door opened wide. I hunkered down beside it, just to be safe.

The Whispers in the Woods Chapter 37
I had longed to be that close to him for so long and I could feel myself giving into him. The passion in his kiss was too much to bear. It seemed to last a lifetime and yet, at the same time, a matter of seconds. As soon as he lifted his lips from mine, he released me. I just lay there, stunned into silence. I hated myself. I hated him. Everything was just so messed up in my mind. Yet again, I felt like a woman of two halves. I just couldn’t work out which half craved him and which despised him.I had to try harder. I couldn’t let myself be seduced by the roaring fire he ignited. At the same time, I couldn’t help but wonder how far things would have gone if he hadn’t pulled away. Going forward, I had to keep my distance from him. Not allowing myself to get close enough to be pulled in. I watched as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small knife. It was housed in a leather pouch and I realised it must have been the item he had taken from the drawer. It had never occur

I thought my eyes must be deceiving me at first, but there he was. I would have known him anywhere. I just stood there staring at him, not knowing what to think. Brodie was Pip. It had never been Jackson coming to me. It was Brodie all along. I just didn’t know what it meant. Brodie was awful, the most hateful individual I had ever met. I couldn’t understand how he could even pretend well enough to be Pip. I had never seen an ounce of goodness in him, not like with Jackson. He might have been part of the pack, but there was some goodness in there hiding amongst everything else. “I know I have given you no reason to trust me. I always told you I would do whatever it took to keep you safe, and I did. I’m just sorry that I had to cause you so much pain in the process.” It was another trick it had to be. Everything he had done had been

I was completely taken aback when he removed himself from the bed as soon as the door had closed behind Jackson. He sat in a chair by the fire and just sat there, staring at me. Something had changed when Jackson had left, but I had no idea what it was. I just laid there looking right back at him and tried to work out what was going on. I was so confused. He had talked so boldly about everything he would do to me, so what was he waiting for? So many times he seemed like he was going to speak, but stopped himself. It was like his confidence had walked out the door with Jackson. I didn’t want to set him off again, but I also didn’t want to stay attached to the wall by my arms for longer than I had to be. “Lost your bottle, Brodie.” I had planned to be more tactful, but my mouth ran away from my brain. “Don’t!” His vo

When I came to, I was disorientated. I could feel the coolness beneath my arms, yet warmth drifting across the upper side of my body. Everything just seemed murky when I tried to engage my brain. I slowly opened my eyes, but they stung so much that they started watering and impeded my ability to take in my surroundings. I tried to reach up and wipe them and realised I couldn’t move my arms freely. I knew instantly that they were joined together and moved them accordingly, wiping my eyes one at a time.As the room came into focus, I took my time to take in as much detail as I could. Slowly, things were coming back to me and I remembered Brodie being there. The only tool I had at my disposal was knowledge. The wooden cabin told me exactly where I was, the pack’s camp. I was laid on a four-poster bed covered in red and black silk bedding. There were simple, sheer red drapes tied back to each corner.The flooring was all solid wood, but was dotted with multiple simple rugs

It seemed so busy at uni, more so than usual. Despite the fact, the pack and Cassie were absent. I had messaged her to meet up, and she had been on lockdown since the protests. There had been threats against her family and her dad insisted on keeping her close by. In some ways, it was better for me that she wasn’t there. I still wasn’t sure how things stood between us, and it gave me more of an opportunity to deal with both my professors without her asking questions.The first lecture was with Dr Berry, and it went remarkably well. I had told her that there were problems at home and that I needed to be there to help with them. That I would do my own research in order to complete the assignments, and she agreed. She didn’t seem remotely concerned, but it seemed to be from a lack of interest, not confidence in my ability.I sat in Flint’s lecture, knowing he wouldn’t be remotely easy to convince, and I was dreading it. The whole time we were at the lecture, there were hu
