JENNA“What is the meaning of this, Jenna?”My mouth dries up. All the things I practiced telling him flew out the window and it felt like my brain had deserted me.“Jenna.” He repeats, his voice trembling slightly.I blinked, shaking myself out of the haze I entered.When I finally moved, I snatched the phone out of his hand and locked it. Then I hid it behind my back like that was going to make any difference.It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. It was their sixth birthday, he could see the six clearly written there. And they were pretty much exact replicas of him.“This is the last time I’m going to ask you this. What is that?” He points to the phone, his voice wavering slightly as he stutters.I breathed in and pout. Then I told myself this just made telling him easier. I’d been worried and thinking of how to start the conversation. He saved me the trouble by snooping around and finding it out.“You were pregnant? Why didn’t you tell me?” He asks.The look in his

JENNAWaking up in my old bedroom made me feel like the past five years were just a crazy dream.I almost thought I was going to wake up to Jason shouting and telling me we’re going to be late for school. Mum will yell that we must eat breakfast first. Dad will grumble about being late to a meeting and she’ll force him to sit and eat.Jason and I will bicker from our rooms right down to the breakfast table, and it won't end there.We get a free pass for being late as the alpha’s kids.At least Jason gets a free pass. I don’t get detention, but I certainly get dirty looks from pupils and teachers alike.Life was much easier then. Simpler. I had my unhealthy crush on him. Only Zeke knew about that, because he’d made me confess. He saw my diary and saw how many hearts I’d doodled with mine and Jason’s name in the middle.He never told him, because I made him promise. And it was our little secret for the longest time.He is the only person that knows what happened between us that drunken

JENNAI was thinking of what to do with myself, and how to face Jason this morning when I heard a knock on my door. At first, I strayed frozen in place before I got off the bed and went to open the door.After what happened last night with Jason. I’ve learnt to not just let anyone walk in without asking who it is, or getting the door myself.I first opened the door, barely enough to peep outside.“Will you open the door or do I have to climb up the window?”The familiar voice makes me pull the door open with so much force, it is a surprise I didn’t smack myself in the face.Zeke stood in the hall, his hands folded behind him.I run to hug him but he steps aside.“Hey, what’s wrong? Didn’t you miss me?” I asked in a teasing tone.He stares me down, before huffing dramatically and walking into the room.“Okay….”I drawl, following him inside.He is upset and I understand.Jason, him and I, were the unbreakable trio. We were always together. He is the one person I could trust with anythin

JASONThis was the man that found the drunk driver that hit my parents car that night. If he’d stopped and called the ambulance, they would be here with us. But he fled the scene, not even having the decency to call 911 after he got away.It took him all of two days to get everything I needed.An alpha, from a neighboring pack suggested him. He’d worked with him for years and he says he is good.I admit, when I first saw him, I didn’t expect anything to come out of it but he did his job.“You believe there is no reason why someone would want to harm you?”I turned to Jenna and she nodded without hesitation.I don’t doubt her. She is outgoing and a little reckless, but she is a good and kind hearted person.She wouldn’t have survived this pack if she wasn’t that way.No matter how bad they treated her, she would still help them if they needed it.“Your restaurant,” he starts.That made me sit up. The space between my eyebrows creases.I had no idea what he was talking about. Jenna and

JASON“Don’t look at me like that.” I muttered, shooting Zeke a look.He scoffs, rolling his eyes.“You don’t even have the right to say that.” He looks disappointed when he adds. “When are you going to stop being a total dick to her?”“I’m not. I—“He gives me a pointed look. I sigh and run my hands through my hair.I was starting to feel a migraine coming up. I haven’t slept in three days. Since she came back, I haven been able to sleep without thinking of that night. The days before that. How life used to be peaceful when she was here.I didn’t know how to handle it. I’m exhausted and sleep deprived.I know it doesn’t excuse what I said. I hadn’t meant it. It just slipped out before I could think of finding a filter.“We both know you are, so cut the crap.” He snaps. “Why are you treating her like that? She came to you for help because she trusted you, even after whatever happened that made her leave.”He gives me a look that tells me he is beginning to catch on.Zeke is the second
