ROZETA:After we both agreed that it wasn't entirely safe for me to leave the area to take off my clothes, we both decided to back each other while I do my thing. He also told me that he'll be instructing me from the position he was standing and that is what we are set to do soon.I am reluctant to take off the top. It's the same one I've had on for about three days now and it was due to the fact that there was no clothing inside the new cottage that I could change into, unlike the first one. I guess their survival plan didn't extend to this region.I've already finished unbuttoning it when I hear Jax say something:"I know there's something that has been bothering you for some time now and you're reluctant to say so I'll just answer it for you without the need for you to ask," he says. "No, we didn't do anything. We didn't have sex. I couldn't take advantage of your drunken state and I stopped touching you then after unintentionally marking you."I was shocked. Couldn't even move my

MANUEL:A lot of emotions were swirling through me as I held up the glock in her direction. The horrified look on her face was second to none but I enjoyed it and I was sure I was going to enjoy the rest of the moment I am going to have from here on.At first, I thought she came in prepared, especially with how she kept staring at me. I was certain that she went through something before she came in and that reflected on her face which was why I thought my plan was going to fail. But then it seems I thought highly of her stare at me.I have never been this patient all my life. I was even more patient than when I started the road down this path. So why couldn't I do more? I thought. And now this was happening."Take a seat," I tell her, using the glock to gesture toward one of the seats for her to get seated.She looked reluctant to sit and this got me infuriated. So she could be this clumsy after all?"You heard me the first time!" I snap at her. Instantly she moves from where she is s

JAX:I wasn't betrayed... I was used. And the feeling was even worse than a broken trust.From the moment the door was banged as Manuel exited the room, I haven't been myself. This was me going through a lot more than I can handle and it was even on a different level from realizing that I was caught up in a smoke of bane which I inhaled a substantial amount of.Why didn't I see the signs? Why didn't I notice that the being I trusted the most only wanted to use me to achieve an end goal that didn't even need me in the picture? He was working for me but all along it was me working for him. The irony of things."Ow!" I hear that from across me and I look up to see Rozeta still struggling to get free from the chains she was bounded against.There was a clear indication that she has been hurt by the material emanating from the chains and that was made obvious when she then proceeds to say: "Why does this shit hurt?""It's silver," I say, "It has to hurt."She looks up at me all confused. "

JAX:Ducking, swiping, clawing... that was what Voden was doing as he went against the warriors of the Silver Falls pack outside the cottage. The rage we were filled with seems to be unquenchable as we we were vicious in our attacks.The warriors could clearly not keep up with his rage as he took them down one by one. Gunshots rained in the air but none was for him as he was too fast for it.It got to a stage where I had no idea what was going on. I was blinded by rage and so was he. I just let the whole flow go on and the time he stopped was when he felt something penetrate through his skin. At that time there were hardly any warriors left.Whatever went through us was filled with silver but it had little to no effect on us as Voden turned swiftly to take a swipe at the being who did that. His claws make a direct impact on the being's face and it turned out to be my brother who was now on the ground while bleeding from the face.Voden wasted no time in charging at him. That was after

ROZETA:What I felt from seeing a black wolf that obviously wasn't Dera got my feelings a lot complicated. It was just like me seeing something different but at the same time, I felt like I was staring at a familiar beast.I have no idea why I was this washed with a sense of safety when I know that it shouldn't be the case for a wolf I know nothing about. Or am I going through a lot for me not to realize whose wolf this is?I would have begun to find a way out of here already but my instincts haven't pushed me to yet. It was more like I was this curious to know who this beast is and probably know why it brought me here."Who are you?" I ask, to my surprise. I mean I should be getting the hell out of here already!The wolf sorts of snorts and it gives me a weird instinct. Why did I have to do that?I wasn't sure what type of response I was expecting and neither was I sure what tone I needed to hear from it. But the fact that it gave me a masculine response got me surprised and more con
