Esme

Brodie was shifting nervously on his feet. I didn’t think he even expected it to change anything, and he still couldn’t look at me. Part of him was sure it was too late to change anything, and I wasn’t convinced he was wrong. I wanted it to change something, but so much had happened and it wasn’t just me I had to think about. I had to do what was right for the babies and I had to think about Jackson, too.

“What about Milly?” I asked, finally ready to put my concerns about the child into words.

“What about her?” There was a level of shock and confusion in his eyes that I hadn’t been ready for.

“You never bothered to tell me about her. She looks just like you.” I couldn’t understand why he had never bothered to mention her. If he had, I could have accepted her.

“I know she does, but the truth is I’ve never had much to do with her. I wouldn’t know where to start and I’ve hardly got an open heart. The truth is, it never occurred to me to

  • The Whispers in the Woods   Chapter 97

    EsmeI heard a scuffle. For a minute, Brodie had me convinced that something had changed with him, but it didn’t take long for him to revert to his old ways. I felt bad for getting Jackson wrapped up in it all. He seemed to be forever trying to broker peace between everyone in his life. Brodie had seemed so reasonable, but as soon as my back was turned, he was the same old Brodie. Dealing with his problems with violence. I was grateful when I finally heard the door slam shut. The last thing any of us needed was more trouble.There was so much I needed to go over with Jackson. Even putting Brodie to one side, I was worried about Mikkel. There was already a chance that he had realised something was strange about us. That feeling would only increase as the pups grew. I already knew that they would grow at a much faster rate than human babies and it was bound to raise eyebrows. We needed to move on, and it wouldn’t be the last time. We would need to spend their wh

    BrodieAs I left the room, I didn’t really know what to do with myself. Jackson was lurking outside, and I wondered if he had been eavesdropping on what had been said. The way he behaved like he was somehow hers pissed me off. I resented the hell out of him and it wouldn’t be something I would get over quickly. Despite how I felt, I had no choice but to play nice. I wouldn’t put Esme through the stress of the pair of us fighting over her.“She’s asking for you,” I told him as nicely as I could manage.“Well, she never asked for you,” he spat the words at me. There wasn’t even a semblance of respect, let alone love, in the way he spoke.“Leave it alone. I came because she was in danger.” I didn’t expect him to believe me anymore than I expected Esme to believe me, but it was the truth. When I had left the camp, I had planned to drag her back kicking and screaming if I had to. That had changed somewhere along the way. All that time out in the wilde

    EsmeJackson had insisted on carrying me up to bed as soon as I had calmed down. It was hardly surprising, given the state of the living room. It was fit for nothing but burning. The events were so hazy in my mind. Jackson tried to explain it to me, but it made no sense. I barely remembered anything at all. Only really the feelings. At first I was fading away, the emptiness creeping in with the never ending blackness. Then out of nowhere came a burning rage. It made me crazy, lashing out at everyone.“I was there. He said he would kill you and the triplets. That’s what set you off.” Jackson was hung up on what Brodie had said. It was almost as though he was trying to convince me rather than telling me.“There is no way he meant that.” I might have been angry with Brodie, but there was just no way I would believe he could have those sorts of intentions, no matter he had said in the moment. He just was capable of that.“He was pretty convincing. Yo

    BrodieHer screams ripped through me. I felt like they were coming out of my own mouth. Having no idea what I was supposed to do. I wanted to be there by her side, but that wasn’t what she wanted. I had to force myself to stay in the field. To stay away and do what was best for her. I could feel the pain she was in and it was unbearable. I had no idea how she was surviving it. She was so much stronger than I ever could have been. Only reminding me of how weak I was. I tried to pretend I wasn’t, but I knew the truth and so had my father. He had been right about me all along. It wasn’t until I met Esme that I learned what real strength looked like.Suddenly, there was silence. The pain had gone; the screams quietened. It took me a moment to realise it wasn’t because the birth was all over, but because she had left me. There was nothing. No relief, no thoughts, nothing. The emptiness pained me more than anything could have. I was on my feet and running before I h

  • The Whispers in the Woods   Chapter 92

    EsmeI was hardly surprised by my little girl’s arrival. Brodie had made it clear that it was a possibility. She was tiny compared to her brother. I couldn’t help but see the comparison. She looked much more like me. I wondered if that was what we had looked like together as infants. I knew Brodie would have been considerably bigger than me, given the age gap. It still left me a bit more than uncomfortable that the three of us had been raised together, even for a short time.It was odd looking at the two of them lying on my chest. The size difference was ridiculous. I looked at Jackson, but he didn’t seem remotely concerned. The birth of my little girl had gone much more how I had expected than her brother had been. It was like he was too big for my body to handle. I felt better just knowing it was all over, even though the pains were still lurking around.We hadn’t managed to get much in the way of baby bits. It was difficult when my pregnancy had been
