Jess sat in the very bed she had once sat in with her husband Regan. He was the former Alpha of Sabrebite with whom she fell in love at the young age of 18. At the time of their meeting, she was living with her mother in Ironclaw. Jess and Regan have met briefly before they fell in love; Regan’s father was good friends with Gannon, the Alpha of Ironclaw. Aka, the only father Jess ever really knew.So, periodically Regan and his family would visit Ironclaw, and he’d have a run-in with Jess. Initially, Jess thought of him to be a conceited man. He was good-looking with his chestnut brown hair and his golden-brown eyes. He was strongly built like his father, and regardless of the territory he was in, women would fall at his feet.The problem was, not only was he good-looking, but he knew he was good-looking. He knew the effect he had on women, and he fed off that. To Jess, it seemed as though he was a flirt. However, that was before she got to know him.She soon realized that he was just

The house was quiet when Ronnie returned home; she wasn’t sure if anyone was even there. She was thankful Melissa and Rock were no longer fighting as sometimes they fight into the night, and it escalates the more Rock drinks.As she walked past the bedroom doorways, she could hear the light giggles of Emily in the guest bedroom along with the soft moans of Rock. It made Ronnie cringe hearing them so close to her bedroom. She knew Rock was going to sleep with Emily; she was a beautiful woman and Rock has never passed the opportunity to get with beautiful women.As she reached her bedroom and sat on her bed, the words of Jess ran through her mind for the hundredth time that night. She knew that the others didn’t feel the same way, but she also knew that Jess had every right to be concerned. She didn’t know Ronnie that well and a week ago she was sure that Arina was probably saying the same things.The way everyone was staring at her though like she was some freak that was about to explod

She knew it was a stupid plan, but she couldn’t stop herself. She was sick of everyone looking at her like she was some ticking time bomb and after what Jess said, it was clear there were still trust issues. Despite what Arina says, Ronnie wasn’t sure if Arina actually trusted her or not.She wanted to figure out a way to gain their trust once and for all. She also couldn’t get Elijah out of her mind since their encounter not long ago. She was terrified of him; he had a look in his eyes that revealed such darkness and such hatred. It could have been her that died instead of the deputy. There was no doubt in her mind that it was Elijah that killed that wolf. If Erick hadn’t had been there that day to save her, she would have been good as dead.She hated the fact that an outsider was smart enough to break the barriers and protection of both Sabrebite and Ironclaw. Elijah has taken enough from their packs and Ronnie didn’t want to just sit around and do nothing while he continued to take

“I don’t really remember a lot of what happened,” Ronnie said as she sipped the tea, I gave her.We had returned to my home in Sabrebite a few hours ago and I had Ronnie resting on the couch with Erick beside her. Anderson was pacing back and forth like a mad man, anxious that this meant a new revolution was about to break loose.He wasn’t far off.With Jonathan in Blackcrest and still no word from him, I feared the same thing.“I just remember that woman…” she whispered.Ronnie had told us Elijah slaughtered an elder woman right in front of her using a butcher knife. She couldn’t get the sounds out of her head and every time she closed her eyes, she could see the woman’s face.“You don’t remember anything Elijah said to you?” I asked, sitting down on the other side of her.She shook her head, staring down at the cup of tea in her hands.“No…” she said hoarsely. “Next thing I remembered I was in Dr. Beverly’s office.”“We are just glad you’re alive,” I told her softly.Tears began fill

Elijah’s dead. Jonathan stood in front of Elijah’s deceased body; blood pouring from the scratches on his torso and bite marks along his neck. He was in his human form and his chest was no longer heaving for air. Elijah’s blood was stained on Graham’s clothing; Graham’s fists clenched in a fit of rage.“Our debt has been paid,” Graham announced to Jonathan, allowing his voice to boom across Blackcrest. “Blood for blood. There is no reason for you to stay any longer.”He couldn’t believe the events that had just occurred. Graham seemed clueless as to what Elijah was planning; he appeared to not know that Elijah was hunting on forbidden territories and killing wolves in his travel. To repay the debt Elijah racked up, Graham slaughtered Elijah right in front of Jonathan.It was something he wasn’t expecting when he arrived in Blackcrest. As soon as he arrived, he knew something horrible was going down. Erick was in the middle of a fight with Elijah and Ronnie was passed out in her own bl
