2025-05-09 18:00:14Mum didn't meet me at the front door that night. I went into the house and found her sitting at the dining table, writing a letter. I already knew who it was for, the only person she ever wrote to, Vanessa. They had been friends for a long time, too long to count the years.
I sat down opposite her determined to speak to her. My dad wasn't at home and I wanted the conversation to stay between the two of us. It was the best chance I had to get the truth as well as get to continue at the university.
"Mum?"
"Yes, sweetheart."
"Can we talk?"
"Can it wait until I'm finished?"
"Not really." She looked up more than a little concerned. I wasn't sure if it was the urgency or my voice that had given me away.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong as such. A girl has gone missing from uni. I think she was a werewolf. I think the place

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

The door crashed open behind me. I didn’t need to look to know it was Brodie. Gerald let out a low, deep growl, but it was directed at Brodie rather than me. Then, without warning, he turned his attention back to me. Looking up at me for a moment before lying down in front of me. His black nose lay just between my feet. I turned to Brodie and gave him a look that screamed ‘you really should trust me more’.I knew before he morphed back how angry he was with me, but I didn’t care. “How dare you go behind my back? You did the complete opposite of what I asked you to do.”“I told you, I will only submit to you when it suits me to do it, Brodie. You might be the alpha, but you’re not my alpha. It was my battle to fight, not yours.” My back stiffened, and I raised my chin slight in defiance.“I just stood there and announced to everyone that you are my luna, which you were fine with. That makes me your alpha, and you had best remember that.” The growl that came from

He didn’t look remotely happy about the situation, but he knew it was better for me to deal with it just as well as I did. The whole situation needed to be dealt with by diplomacy, not with threats of violence. We slipped from the meeting cabin and headed around the back of it. I had never really seen much of the camp, but that side of it was surrounded by a mound of soil and grass, no doubt to keep people out. It was steep, and I struggled to keep my balance as we squeezed behind another cabin. As I slipped a little, Jackson reached out and grabbed my hand instinctively.He might not have been able to read my mind like Brodie could, but Jackson definitely had the ability to sense what I needed and when. I held on to him as he guided me around the back of the cabin. I wanted to ask him why we had to go that way, but I already knew it was so no one saw me. Even the members of the pack that would tolerate me being there wouldn’t tolerate me shoving my nose into their business.

As I watched Brodie get dressed, it occurred to me that I didn’t have that luxury. My clothes were nothing but scraps of fabric littering the surrounding floor. “How am I getting back to the cabin without the whole pack seeing me naked, not to mention my parents?” I asked him, filled with concern.“I quite like the idea of you parading around out there naked.” The lilt of amusement annoyed me, but I knew he wasn’t particularly joking.“Brodie!” He thought about it for a second, and I really thought he was going to stick to the idea of me going back completely naked. When he threw his top at me, the relief was overwhelming. I had enough opposition in the camp. I didn’t need to be making more of a show of myself when things were so difficult. I just managed to pull it over myself as the door opened behind me. I instinctively pulled the top down further. It barely covered my bare buttocks as it was.“You two are a pain in my arse.” At the familiar voice, I relaxed

I felt as Brodie’s arms slipped around my stomach. It felt as though his warmth offset the coldness in my soul. Slowly making me feel more human, more myself. To everyone in the room, I must have looked like his little toy. One that he could force to attack and then wind back in. It looked like he controlled me. Except it wasn’t like that. Brodie might have known what buttons to push, but so did I. He hadn’t used me to curb Gerald. That wasn’t the purpose of my anger. It had all been to prove that I shouldn’t be underestimated. That I was just as strong as Brodie and should be respected.I didn’t even care if it looked like Brodie was controlling me. I knew the truth and, frankly, he could control me whenever he wanted to. The heat pumping through my system was enough to make me desperate for him. It was a primal urge. I had no control over it or anything else when it came to Brodie. It took every bit of willpower I had not to throw myself at him right there in that room. Bro

One by one, all the wolves around the table did exactly as Brodie wanted and bowed at my feet all round me. All but two. Gerald and Cassie’s father both just sat there looking disgusted. I wanted to crawl up into a ball. I had always known it was going to be hard, but I hadn’t realised it would play out right in front of me. I had expected us to leave it all behind us, not be the ones dealing with the fallout. Although, that made me feel awful that originally we had planned to leave the fallout for Jackson.I jumped as Brodie slammed his fist on the table. “Now, or there will be consequences.” I looked at my parents, but I couldn’t gauge a reaction from them at all. They were looking down into their laps. I couldn’t decide if it was because they were pissed off or because they were trying not to get involved in the pack’s internal politics.Cassie’s father stood and reluctantly came to bow at my feet. He walked towards me, keeping his eyes from meeting my own, and it s
