Quinn stares silently but in utter shock. But I'm crazy, and frustrated for reasons beyond me, but it just can't be right. They left him? He's not back? My mind flashes to the slobbering animal that almost ate me and Moi. My chest tightens and I'm almost wheezing. After everything that has happened last night I'm not even sure here is safe anymore. "How....why aren't you worried? Why isn't anyone worried?" I ask Quinn gesturing to the staring people all around me. A small voice screams at the back of my head to just shut up! Shut up, sit and maybe pray that everyone would just forget about me. But I'm still standing, still freaked out about the ridiculous calm that's in this room. "We should do something, check to see if he's alright?" My voice is frantic and I'm blinking all over the room full of jitters. Quinn held onto my wrist as I attempted to move off, grounding me to the spot. "Hey, " He says softly. "I get it, but he's fine. " "Can't be fine. Not with those, those huge th

RIDER "Come with me, " Two guards left the small meeting, heading to where the new wolves from last night dwelled while the remaining two followed. I've made up mind. The safest way to do this was to keep both sets under surveillance, having watch and planning our next move. Sleep came rather late for me, but I've had enough time to think since then. My feelings had no place in this but I knew ...I knew I couldn't stay away. Selfishly I'm doing this to keep my mate safe. I might be able to get Jax to give her a lighter sentence, hell even get Allison on my side. Just something...anything that'll prevent me from loosing my mind. Halie sits in a chair when I enter the room. She's all I see, think and feel. She's everything. Though maybe the feeling isn't mutual. Her hazel eyes shift behind me seeing the men, and immediately she springs towards her bestfriend placing herself between us. "What's going on?" Moi asks, her hands hanging onto Halie's for dear life. They are fearful we ca

I'm over one hundred percent sure what we're about to do is the stupidest thing anyone could've ever done. But it's the only thing that would ever get Ammoy to just STOP talking. Literally, she's worst than a feeding mosquito when ever she decided to be annoying and then she has the gall to accuse me of being petty. Unbelievable! The large goons we have as guards follow us at every step as if we're the problem and that they, more than likely aren't the threat that will eat us alive. Moi is nervous figetting about- which serves her right. This was her decision. She was the one thinking Rider wanted to know what happened to us in the forest..which I doubt was what he was really asking about. When we make it outside near something that look like a dojo or training area, we find Rider looking very hot in all black which definitely makes him a lot more sexier than usual. But that's besides the point. There are many highlighting qualities about Rider that's hard to ignore. Like the fact th

RIDER 'Quinn get your ass down to the infirmary right now! 'I'm so extremely pissed right now, if I tried to name them, I'd probably have a long list of wolves to kill; with the woman in my arms being at the very bottom. And the worst thing about that, I wouldn't be able to kill her. It'd be better if I had ripped my heart out while it's still beating and that's what infuriates me the most. The fact that she has no regard for life. Especially her freaking own! What the hell was Halie doing out in the forest on her own? What if I hadn't gotten there in time? What if Veron had torn her apart? I'm barely holding myself together with a thread. Barely. And all she had to offer was a lousy excuse of being worried when I told her that I was fine! All Halie had to do was stay put! She had no idea the pressure that lifted from my shoulders knowing she was safe or the migraine I had knowing she could be gallivanting in the forest on her own. And the hell, wolves don't even have migraines! "

RIDER "What are you doing?" I gingerly removed Sam's hand glancing, across my shoulder, remembering I'd left Halie behind. God, I hoped she didn't see a thing. The last thing I needed was for her to think something was going on between us, then again I couldn't even predict what went on in Halie's mind. This imprint thing was not doing either of us favors and as much as I'm staying away physically, my mind is always with her. Sam smirks before placing her hands against her hips. I've been avoiding her too. It's easier with Halie however, being Beta forces me to interact with the pack, and with Sam being a warrior, it's all the more complicated. I moved to walk around her before she grabbed my hand and I met her eyes. "Rider. " "Not right now. " "Then when? Please I just want to talk. Please. " I huffed folding my hands across my chest, my eyes wandering around. "I'm listening. " "I don't get why you're upset with me, " She starts before running a hand through her dark curly h
