It felt like Jackson was confessing that he loved me and that he had told Brodie. If that was true, then how had Brodie ended up hiding in the trees outside my house?
“I came to kill you. To remove temptation for my brother. Except once I had seen you, felt you, I couldn’t stop coming. It was ages before I realised that we could communicate with each other subliminally. I got to know you more with each visit, and the idea of killing you became an impossibility. There was a connection between us that Jackson never had with you. You were always supposed to be mine, not his. I hate that I hurt him, but I can’t change fate.” I turned around looking for him, but he wasn’t there.

I waited while Jackson stood and I knew Brodie was just as worried as I was. I had my hands up in front of me defensively, but they wouldn’t do me much good against Jackson. I let out a sigh of relief as he shifted and knew it meant that for the time being, at least he didn’t intend to attack us. His eyes were still focused on me. I could feel them burning into me.“What was that?” He asked me nervously.“I can heal, but it burns while it’s working. Sorry. I’m also sorry for hitting you. I just didn’t want you two to kill each other.” I shrugged my shoulders as though it was nothing. The way he was talking to me had changed completely from how he was at the camp.“Thank you for healing me. Most people in your position would have left me to die.” His eyes dropped slightly, growing wide at the same time. He stepped forward and pulled at my top. I was taken aback but Brodie didn’t move towards us. He turned around instead and faced the wall. Jackson’s fingers ran o

I shook Mum off. She was protecting me out of instinct, but it wasn’t needed anymore. I went to Brodie, but stayed slightly behind him. Not because I needed to, but because I knew it was what he would want me to do. Until I knew more, I had to respect what he would want. The two werewolves just stood there, facing each other. I wondered if they were communicating, but it was like a standoff. Neither was overly aggressive, but they were both on edge, waiting for the need to fight if necessary.“Who is it?” The dark charcoal-coated wolf was a stranger to me, but then I had only seen Brodie and Rachelle in wolf form. I looked into his eyes, but it gave me no more clues. His eyes didn’t seem as fiery as Brodie’s, they were softer almost. They were nearly completely grey, just like their fur, but had bright purple flecks dotted throughout their iris. There was a kind of gentleness there and I realised it was Jackson before Brodie even had the chance to tell me.He must have

I just sat there looking down on the situation and just prayed Brodie didn’t arrive too quickly. I knew him well enough to know that once he did, he would find me out, rather than heading towards the house. I looked into my dad’s eyes, but all there was in them was confusion. Not that it was surprising. His daughter had scarpered from him as though he were the enemy. “What are you doing out here?”“I’ve been coming out each morning and looking for any sign of you. I thought you might have been close by for safety. I must admit, I didn’t expect to find you, let alone for you to drop from the sky.” It hurt that I was surprised he cared enough to be out looking for me.“I’m not staying anywhere near here, but I came to talk to Mum.” I didn’t really know what else to say.“She will be relieved to see you.” I might have trusted him more if he had been full of rage and demanded that I go home. Instead, he was completely calm, and I felt like he was trying to lure me i

The next morning, I lay there watching him sleep. It was odd he seemed to need way more sleep than I did. As with everything else, I had no idea if it was me that was strange or him. I usually only slept for five or six hours. At home, I would have been up and about, heading into the woods or reading. Instead, I lay there in a bed that wasn’t my own, knowing the day was going to be a bad one. I made the decision hours ago. I needed to go home. I needed to speak to my mum and Vanessa. I needed information, and it was something he couldn’t give me.It wasn’t like I believed he would stop me from going back. I knew in my heart that he wouldn’t. Regardless, it would cause problems for him. He would be taking a huge risk. Even sneaking me out of the camp again could be a problem, and then he was taking the risk that I wouldn’t come back. I was taking that risk, too. For all I knew, my parents could lock me up in the basement to try to prevent me from returning to him.Even

As soon as I was back in the basement and uncuffed, he left to deal with business. I sat and brooded about the deer I had killed and continued to hate myself for killing Bambi, but at least it wasn’t Brodie. I pulled my laptop out and started it up. Feeling particularly impatient as it took its time turning on and booting up. Heading straight for my emails. I wanted to send something to my mum without my dad being able to interrupt me. Hoping to try to explain at least a little. I spotted the email from Flint but decided to wait until afterwards to open it.Mum,I know you and Dad don’t understand. I didn’t expect you to. I am safe, I promise. I need you to stay away from Cassie’s dad. He’s not the good guy you think he is. I lied before, I am with Pip. I know you don’t trust him, but he has had so many opportunities to harm me and has done nothing but protect me over and over again. I’m still training. I can heal, I healed Pip. I’m pretty
