CH30 Unsatisfactory
Continuation of Jossie's POV: Zeke was nodding off in the chair. I watched as Casimir gently helped him place his head down on the counter. I was positive Zeke would have a sore neck in the morning. Casimir took off the blanket wrapped around his shoulders and put it under Zeke's head as he rubbed his head. It was the first I've seen Casimir do anything for anyone. It was so sweet in a way. We should both hate Zeke... But here that guy was trying to make it up to us. Too bad he nodded off. Casimir didn't notice I was still awake. I had been sitting so still I didn't want him to notice. He sat at the island with Zeke as he drank a cup of coffee. He had remained quiet as he finished his cup. He'd fill it up once again. I watched him the whole time as he remained keeping a quiet pace amongst the kitchen. Only when he was coming back to his place beside Zeke did his eyes wander across the room. His eyes would glance over at me and I tensed up as he caught m

CH31 Reflection In The Mirror
Juliette's POV: It wasn't long before grandma Della was at the station. I had been sitting alone waiting for her. The police had gone to get her well over an hour ago. She walked in and pushed hands off her arms. The police were trying to help her inside. The storm blew into the station and the guards had to fight to get the doors shut. "Grandma!" I took off my blanket to wrap around her shoulders. I'm glad she's ok! "Did you run into trouble getting here?" I asked in concern. I couldn't let anything happen to her. She patted my hands as she walked with me to where I had been waiting. She sat down and crossed her legs. "We dropped Carole off at the hospital before coming here," she explained. "Carole was all shook up. Poor dear," she muttered. "It's not easy losing a mate. A child," she muttered and looked sad in her eyes. "That's where it gets you. I heard you were in a wreck with Edith. That's why she's in the hospital. I don't think you know yet but E

CH32 Dead Memories
Jossie's POV:"You slept with him, didn't you? You slept with that fucking bastard!" It was my father who was screaming this time. His voice was distant and hard to hear.. But, I recognized what he was saying when I put two and two together. "I didn't sleep with him!" This was familiar. I think I heard my mother screaming just now. This was the dream... again? I was having it once more. Mother's voice brought me to my senses. I don't recall my mother screaming that though... Did she really say it? Who was she talking about? "You liar! I found your spare phone! The messages are all over the damn thing. I could read one to you right now. Where is it? Where's the spare fuck-ing phone!?" "You're bloody crazy! I don't have a spare phone!" "That's it! I'm leaving! I'm taking my fucking daughter with me!" "You can't take my children from me!" "You don't even want her!"

CH34 Get Some Action
Continuing Jossie's POV: "I killed him... I killed him... I killed him," I whispered. I was now awake with sunlight shining into a dark bedroom. I felt drained. I felt depression slowly filtering into my head with the memories I've been blocking out for so long. My mother knows too... Doesn't she? I felt around the blankets as I peered through the shadows. I was in an unrecognizable room. I could smell the scent of Casimir being left behind. The only thing that settled my anxiety about not knowing where I was. I don't want to feel anything anymore. I want to be numb. This was too much to know. I wish I didn't know anything anymore. Being in the dark was bliss. My father wasn't who I thought he was. Somehow... My father wanted to kill his own mate. He almost did if it wasn't for me! N-Now I know that my mother tried to have me killed. Even after I saved her! Y-Yes I did kill my father. I did it to save her though! Doesn't that count for something? Of cours

CH35 Motherly Odd
Juliette's POV: "I'll take two small decaf mocha iced coffees," I heard my mother say to the cashier before she nudged me in my side. "What do you want dear?" "Make mine a small mocha iced latte," I said as I blinked a few times and looked at the barista. I had been zoning out since I got out of the car. The lady behind the bar punched it in and my mother swiped her card to pay. I walked away from her as I went over to the waiting area for orders. I crossed my arms as I felt uncomfortable. The hairs on the back of my neck was standing as I looked around the only coffee shop this town had. I recognized pack members that were about to leave out for the pack duties. Their eyes landed on me. "Poor dear," I heard someone whispering. "First her father and now her uncle." My eyes searched for the gossiping hags. They were about my mother's age. They were staring with their noses stuck up. I could feel holes being drilled into me and I sent them

CH36 Undisclosed
Continuing Juliette's POV: My alarm blaring woke me up. My heart raced in my chest as I realized I fell asleep last night. I never got a chance to talk to Edith. I grabbed my phone and cut the sound off. I opened up the messenger app and found my cousin's name. I was going to text her... But, who knows how long it would take before she'd answer. I decided to call her. "Jules? Why are you calling this early?" "Hey, do you think its strange? About my mom? We both saw her dead in the bathroom. Don't you think it's strange?" "What are you talking about?" "Don't you remember?" "Honestly, I don't remember much from that night. We were both in a wreck. I'm sure whatever you think happened is just false memories." "Edith... We both saw my mom dead in her bathtub! Don't you remember coming to my house and looking for her? You were the one that checked her pulse!" "Not really. I to

CH37 Safely Kept
Continuing Jossie's POV: Cas had gotten us sweet and sour pork as well as two boxes of fried rice from the local restaurant not far from the apartment complex. We had sat in the bedroom together and ate the meal in silence. It might be our last. Tonight was the masquerade. I didn't want to say it but we both knew. We would have to sneak in and find a way to stop my sister. I didn't want to see her get hurt. I really didn't. As much as she resembled my mother... I couldn't blame her for anything. It was really all my mother's doing. Everything had became her fault now in my eyes. I should have never stopped my father. Maybe he wasn't a good guy... Maybe I don't know who my real father was. Maybe he was mean all the time when he wasn't with me. I don't know anything past what I saw that night about him. I had spent so long loving him. Thinking he was the stars in my sky. I thought we were both in the same situation in the pack. I thought he was hated just

CH38 Unexpected Life
Matthew's POV: I was cut off from the world. No way to reach the outside. Where I was would be still on the same plain of existence. I could feel myself breathing. I knew I was alive. Those rogues haven't killed me. I was gaining consciousness. Around me was hard to make out. Only because of the lack of lighting. I was irritated by one lightbulb swinging above my head. The light flickered as if it had a fault in the wiring. I was in a basement room. I could tell from the scent of earth, lack of windows, and the echoing of water dripping from somewhere. Possibly off a pipe. I was sitting in a room that smelled like rot and death. It was disgusting to consider this a torture chamber. I spotted dry blood on the floor. No specific scent from it. It was too old to make anything out of it. I don't know how I got here... It must have been from the rogues. My hands were cuffed up above my head. There above me... A sin

CH39 Criminal Charges
Continue Matthew's POV: I'm not sure how long it was before I heard the door sliding back open. Beta Ethan came back inside the room. This time with a few people assisting him. They had water for me and a light prepared meal. Not enough to upset my stomach. I was starving and the portions they gave me had it in mind. I would have just enough to leave me wanting more. It was a light stew. They fed it to me before whipping me down and rebandaging my wounds. I was almost done healing. The process seemed to be taking forever. They cleaned me before they would release me. I was too weak to fight back. My arms felt disconnected from my body. The lack of blood flow in them made them discolored. How could someone be so cruel and leave me with my arms above my head? Who knows how long I was forced to stay upright in that position. I thought they were on the verge of falling off. Ethan watched nearby as they rehabilitated me. In fact his mind seemed elsewhere are
