Wolfblood Chapter 12
TALIA After we finished eating breakfast, Blake took me to his mom’s house. It was a pretty short walk from the packhouse. When we arrived, his mom smiled at me in greeting. She had a very warm smile that extended to her whole face. I could instantly tell she was a good person. Her eyes, on the other hand, looked sad. I wasn’t even sure how exactly I could tell they were sad. And then, after a few moments, it clicked. They reminded me of my own mother’s eyes—a haunted look of something gripping her that she couldn’t shake off. “Hello, Talia.” She put her hand out to shake mine. I extended my own hand and she had a surprisingly firm handshake. “Thanks for coming by. Why don’t you come sit in the kitchen, and I’ll bring over some tea?” “That’d be great, Mom.” Blake wrapped his arms around her as she patted his back and kissed his cheek, and I instantly understood they had a close relationship. After Blake’s mom laid everything out, she took a seat at the table with us. We all made sm

TALIA Once Lucy was ready to go, we headed outside to Jasmine’s blue Jeep Wrangler Sport. I pulled my seat forward so that Lucy could climb into the back seat. When we were all buckled in, Jasmine pulled out of the lot and sped out of the pack territory. We drove about an hour to Burlington, Vermont to go to a shopping mall that was located there. Lucy dragged us to Victoria’s Secret first. I was relieved since I did need bras and underwear big time! I looked around and decided to settle for the cotton panties since they were the best deal at five for thirty dollars. It was pretty pricey, and much more than I normally spent on underwear, but I wasn’t sure if I’d end up anywhere else that sold underwear. I quickly grabbed five pairs. “You should get something sexier than that.” Lucy came up behind me. “They have some really cute lacey thongs over there.” She pointed over to a display. “These are fine,” I replied. It’s not like I’d be wearing these for anyone anyway. I’d already emba

TALIA Once we got into H&M, I began picking out some basic clothing such as leggings and T-shirts. Then I checked the sales rack to see what they had. There usually wasn’t much good on the sale rack but I found a few things to try on. When I looked up, I spotted Lucy holding a bodycon dress against Jasmine. Jasmine looked very irritated, rolling her eyes dramatically. I chuckled to myself because it was actually pretty entertaining. The two of them had a very interesting dynamic. I couldn’t tell if they were best friends or enemies. It could really go either way. I pulled everything that fit together after going into the fitting room. I was relieved that the prices at H&M were much more reasonable, especially for their basics and sale items. Maybe if I kept a note of how much everything cost, I could eventually pay Blake back. I could also pay Hugo back for the wolfsbane. Once I figured out how to make money of course. I wished I had my cell phone because I desperately wanted to text

JASMINE Blake and I both pulled into the packhouse lot at about the same time. Talia and I grabbed all of the shopping bags out of the car and walked into the house. Blake waited for us, holding the door open. Blake pulled out chairs at the dining room table, signaling for us to sit. “Tell me the whole story of what happened.” Lucy stayed standing and went into a rant, not leaving any detail out. Blake and Luke stared at her as she told the story. I watched their facial expressions as they became angrier and angrier. “I’m ready to banish her,” Blake roared, banging his fist on the table and walking away down the hall toward his office. “Baby, why don’t you go lie down. You’ve had a hard day,” Luke said, taking Lucy’s hands. I watched as he rubbed his thumbs against her palms, reminding me of when he used to do the same thing to me. The familiar aching pain in my chest surfaced, and I looked away. I turned to Talia and said, “We should separate out all of the clothes we bought tod

Author's Note: If you read an early version of Wolfbane (Book 1), you will notice that the names of the packs in Quebec have now changed. Here are the changes:> Pack Bois Foncé is now the Bois Sombre Pack> Pack Lune Taïga is now the Lune Nordique PackI apologize for any confusion! *** ALEXANDER Once my sister returned, we finally held a small funeral for my father, burning his body on a pyre, after having stored it in the pack hospital morgue while she was away. In attendance were only our closest family members and the beta family. I couldn’t recall the last time I’d seen my sister cry, but I caught her hiding her face as she wept. Between you and me, I believed my father would have preferred her as his heir rather than me. But even if my father had agreed to go against tradition and hand his title over to a female for the first time in the pack’s history, I was still older, and so the title rightfully remained mine. However, my father and sister always had a distinct connectio

JASMINE When I went downstairs the morning of my twenty-first birthday, both of my parents had big smiles on their faces. I sat down to eat breakfast before getting ready for the day. “Happy birthday, Jazzy. Big one for you today.” My dad grinned as he sat across from me. I noticed he was holding my mom’s hand under the table, something I didn’t often see my parents do. “We’re looking forward to celebrating with you and Alpha Blake at dinner tonight.” My mom gave me an uncharacteristically large smile, looking much happier than usual. They then turned to each other and stared into each other’s eyes, as if they were having a silent conversation. Something seemed to be off. My parents weren’t acting like themselves. After breakfast, I spent time doing my hair and makeup and then threw on a nice top with jeans. At ten, the doorbell rang, and I went to answer it. My dad followed and stayed behind me as I opened the door. “Nice to see you, Drew.” Blake nodded at my dad. “See you at di

BLAKE As soon as I reached the pack gate, I pulled over to where a silver Land Rover was parked outside the entrance. I stepped out of my car and Alpha Alexander quickly did the same. I walked over to him, quite annoyed with the interruption to my day. “Adalwolf, to what do I owe the pleasure?” I asked him. “Wulfric,” he replied, nodding. “I’m not going to lie. This is not great timing. It’s my fiancée’s birthday, and I just had to drive back twenty miles because you can’t come back later.” “Well, hopefully it won’t take long then. I’ve come to collect my mate.” “Your mate is in my pack?” I asked. “So rumor has it. I stopped by the Autumn Moon Pack, and they have not welcomed any rogues recently. However, I’ve been informed by the staff on duty at the entrance that yours has.” Strike two against Derek. His subordinates should know not to give out information. He was definitely not on my favorite warriors list at the moment. “Thanks for letting me know that my warriors need some

TALIA As “payment” for letting me stay at the packhouse, I agreed to help Lucy with her baby. And, to be completely honest, Lucy’s baby was a very strong form of birth control. Libby made me never want to spread my legs again. Bring on the cotton panties and grandma bras! Libby was teething, and so she was spending most of her day crying, with big fat tears rolling down her lobster-red cheeks. Lucy was at work today, so I was stuck trying to soothe her, trying to figure out how to get her to stop. I'd tried stuffed animals, rattles, pacifiers, tickles, rocking. Nothing worked. I began shedding my own tears out of frustration, and, let's be honest, grief. The tightness in my chest that had become a new normal for me refused to loosen. I swallowed against the constriction in my throat. I missed my mom. She was always so loving to me and always knew the right thing to say or do. I bet she would’ve known what to do with Libby. She had always held me so gently, so lovingly when I was dow
