The moment this voice spoke from behind me, my body seemed to freeze for a second as though if I didn’t make any sudden movements, maybe this person would leave. But reminding myself how crazy that sounded, I soon turn my head leaving the key draw open in front of me and lock eyes with my best friend, Jake. He stood by the counter of the kitchen, his face holding immense shock to see me stood there but also, budding happiness and relief at the same time. He hadn’t changed much since the last time I saw him; his hair was a little longer showing he hadn’t been keeping up with his barber, but his eyes caught my attention. They were darker, as though he was tired in some way but not just physically, mentally. “Jake.” Was all my voice could seem to say as though my brain had finally, had enough with everything that was happening and broke the connection with my mouth. Now that I’d spoken though, the shocked trance that Jake seemed to be placed in was broken and his body moved across the

Leaving Earl laying in a pool of his own blood on my parent's kitchen floor, a scene I hated they’d walk into, but we didn’t have much choice but to leave him, I’m led outside through the back door and out towards the everlasting trees of the woods my parents lived beside. “Well, that didn’t go the way I planned...poor Earl” I muttered to myself as the keys to my apartment which was the sole reason that we were here, dangled in one hand while Dominic, who was still very much on edge, held tightly onto my other pulling me fully away from the house. “Do not begin to feel even the slightest hint sorry for that disgusting human, he deserves to lay dead in that house for his plan to kill you… I just wish I could have been the one to dealt him that final blow.” Dominic growled in response, not at all happy that I started to feel bad for this man but the moment he spoke about the man who did give Earl that last blow, I turn my head back towards my parent's house as Jake, began to slowly le

Joining Jake at the counter, we sat in silence for some minutes as I tried to process what just happened and how on earth, I’m going to be able to leave this apartment without the whole town who seem to know I’m here, seeing me! I of course, wanted to mind-link Dominic and explain what had happened, but remembering how important this meeting with another Alpha was and how bad it would look if he had to leave to rescue his little human mate, I sat with my hand on my mouth lost in my thoughts. “I’m going to assume getting locked in your own apartment wasn’t a part of your plan?” Jake asked cutting the tense and worried silence that filled the apartment, a sigh leaving my lips as I looked down at the counter. “It wasn’t, but it seems as though none of my plans today are really working out, you were never meant to be there, Earl wasn’t either and now he’s dead… that’s the third person whose died because of me.” I muttered wondering if I was simply a bad person to have around at this poi

Walking through parts of the woods I never had before, the feeling in my body should be of fear and anxiety, the warnings from everyone in town and now my understanding of what creatures could be hiding within the trees should be all I thought about! But all I could seem to do was laugh as I walked beside Jake, I knew I missed him and my family so much, but I didn’t realise how much until I was back laughing and joking as we did before. “Hang on, if you were a part of this pack back when Dominic’s parents were Alpha and Luna, each week when they came to the town that summer, did you know who they were?” I asked recalling each moment Dominic’s parents would arrive, Jake would be right beside me like always. As we carried on deeper through the woods, the large lake that sits within Dominic’s pack came to view indicating we were going the right way, it was frozen when I first arrived but now rippled beautifully in the sun. “I knew from the moment I saw you and the former Luna Eden ta

It took each scrap of willpower Dominic held within his giant body not to abandon Jake and this meeting, pick his innocent angel into his arms and carry her back to their house to receive the treat she spoke about. Watching as she turned the corner to their driveway and out of sight, he was forced to close his eyes and remind his wolf of the task they were about to start, who was close to taking full power of Dominic and doing what they both wanted in this moment. Once Dominic had calmed his emotions, he turned his head to look at the man before him, a man he knew hadn’t done what his family had all of those years ago and what each pack member today hated him for. But it was also a man Dominic hated, the way he acted around his mate and the blatant disregard of her new title and their mateship as a whole, Dominic didn’t know what this man was planning, but he was not going to allow a single thing this man did to go unnoticed, he’d already enlisted guards to watch each and every move
