My hands were shaking so much that I could barely hold on to my bag anymore. I let it slide through my fingers to the ground as I watched Jackson step out of the house. Jackson paused at the door for a few seconds, staring at me. Suddenly, he rushed forward and grabbed my neck.“Have you no shame?” he yelled. “How dare you return after everything you’ve done to us? What do you want? To finish your mission? Well, I won’t give you the pleasure.”I stared at him in shock, unable to say anything. I was silently fighting for my breath, my eyes showing the struggle going on inside me. I looked into Jackson’s cold eyes and saw the murderous gleam in them.Closing my eyes, I waited for the inevitable. Suddenly, a loud cry pierced the air, making Jackson loosen his hold on my neck. He let go and I opened my eyes, before getting into a coughing fit.“Please don’t kill her, uncle Jackson.” Miley said. I looked around and saw her hugging Courtney’s legs while staring at her uncle. I couldn’t beli

Thankfully, the information had not yet reached the motel. Betsy the girl who ran it was shocked when I decided to check out at night. I refused to reply her questions and told her to keep the money I had already paid for that night. I didn’t find a taxi so I ran to the high way and began walking along it. About ten minutes later, a truck appeared. It was going the opposite direction so I crossed the road and stopped it. “Hey, where are you going?” a man looked out of the window.“Midnight Pack,” I said.It was the safest place for me at that time. I didn’t intend to give myself up for Bryson but to hide in the one place he wouldn’t think of looking. Bryson knew that I had run away. He also knew that the people of Midnight Pack would surrender me if they found me. Therefore he wouldn’t think I’d do to hide there. Running to other packs was more dangerous for me. When I arrived at my pack, I paid the kind truck driver and alighted near the forest. Stepping into it, I ran as fast as I

I let Bryson do whatever he wanted with me for two days. I stayed silent and pretended to be unmoved while planning my next move. Quietly, I studied Bryson and the new staff in the pack house. I had no idea where Francesca and Kat were but was glad I didn’t have to run into them. By the third day, I was ready to set Maran free. I chose to do it on that day because Bryson was around which meant that his guards wouldn’t be watching me like hawks.I failed to get my hands on a good weapon so I settled for the small dagger I found under Bryson’s bed. The only decent thing Bryson had done was not sleeping in Jackson’s bed. Of course he didn’t do it out of respect but because he found Jackson disgusting. As if! While Bryson dined and wined with his loud mouthed friends in the living room at 4pm, I snuck out of my room. The main hallway of the second floor was empty and so was that of the first floor. It was almost too easy. It made me wonder if I was being set up. What if Bryson had someho

The warriors surrounded Vlad while others went to lift their alpha and quickly carried him away. Vlad turned his attention to the guard holding the torch and made him fall to the ground. Suddenly, he was invisible which made it easy for him to escape the guards. He returned to where we were and told us to hold his hands. We did and started running towards the outer boundary. We hit it and stumbled back.“Shit!” Vlad said. “This seems to have been reinforced since Bryson took over. That bastard.”“They’re going to try to escape but won’t be getting anywhere. Michael, run to the pack house and get more torches. Suddenly, we heard two distinct howls and the guards all went down on one knee, their faces adopting sombre looks. My eyes widened.“Bryson is dead!”Vlad smiled. “Yes. I knew he would die. I added black magic to that silver bullet. It had to take him down.”Forgetting about us, the guards started running back towards the pack house.“We need to get Jackson!” Vlad said and let g

I smiled when I felt the hand move from my wrist to my waist. His other hand joined the first one. A wave of delicious heat travelled from my waist to my core, and I felt my nicker getting wet. I moaned as I looked up. Jackson angled his head to the side and kissed me on the lips.“Hey,” I said when his lips met mine. I looked around and saw that people had moved further from us. He was hugging me from behind and I just wanted to collapse in his arms. My heart was beaming with joy as my wolf danced around in my head.“Let’s get out of here,” he said.“Sure.”Jackson took my hand and we walked out of the yard, several eyes staring at us. We entered through one of the side doors and went straight to the elevator. He didn’t wait for the door to close. Jackson pushed me against the wall and kissed me. The kiss was rough and fast, a testament to our starvation. As he kissed me, one of his hands went down and pulled my dress up as he touched my core, rubbing in rough circles. By the time we
