I woke early the next morning. The rain had stopped and Kade had told me the night before that if it had, training would go on. I was ready to get dirty in the mud and I was ready to kick some ass out there.I slipped on clothes and happily skipped out my room. I entered the kitchen where Jenny was. She was buttering toast and humming softly. The song she was singing sounded familiar and it suddenly brought sadness to my wolf.But as I listened, I couldn't figure out what it was that she was singing. It was right on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't put my finger on it. I sighed."What song is that?" I asked her softly. She turned around to face me, smiling weakly."A song that I heard while I was away. I thought it was beautiful. You know it?" She cocked her head at me. I nodded my head at her."I think. What's it from?" I asked her again. She smiled some more and bit into her toast."You know that film, called 'Holes'? The one about the boys who were sent away to the middle of now
The phone rang loudly throughout the cabin. Ezra and Jenny were finishing off the cooking in the kitchen whilst I was getting dressed. We were having guests come over any moment and I was barely ready. My time management skills weren't the best.I zipped up my dress and sighed. I fluffed up my hair one last time and left my room. I walked down the hallway and met Ezra halfway."It's Beckett, for you," Ezra said, winking at me. He wanted me to talk to Beckett about staying. I smiled and nodded as I took the phone. Ezra turned around and left and I headed back to my room."Hello?" I called into the phone. I didn't hear any background voices and assumed that Beckett was alone."Hey little sister," he greeted me. I smiled warmly and sat on the bed. I crossed my legs."What's up?" I asked him. I heard him hum a little and then imagined him smiling and shrugging."Well you're supposed to be coming home in a few days and I was wondering if you had figured out what you wanted to do," Beckett
I woke early on Friday morning, earlier than I usually did. I had been awake since three a.m and my beast finally urged me to get up after hours of staring at the ceiling like it would change my options and decisions for the day.I pulled on clothes and my head clouded the closer that I got to the front door. I walked into the kitchen where Ezra stood with Jenny wrapped around him. She was slumped into him tiredly and he had his arm linked around her waist.They were cute. I had to admit."Morning, princess. Sleep well?" Ezra asked me. I honestly shook my head at him. I didn't see the point in lying about it. Ezra gave me a sympathetic look and I shrugged at him as Jenny pulled away and faced me."So are you leaving today?" She asked me with a small smile. Ezra avoided my gaze as I sighed and nodded."I don't want to, but I have duties and responsibilities back in Terialta. I can't just leave. But I will be coming back to visit, that's for sure," I told them both. Jenny continued to s
I smiled weakly at Jenny as she began to tear up. Her blood red tears streamed down her face and she groaned. I hadn't seen a vampire cry before, but I always knew they cried blood. Seeing it in the flesh was kind of overwhelming.Her skin stained from the blood, the tissue deep red from dabbing continuously at her face. She needed another one, badly.I hugged Jenny tightly and she held onto me with a grip that made me question if I was going to make it out the cabin. Jenny held me for a few minutes before she finally let out of soft groan and pulled away. She forced a smile and wiped the blood tears from her cheeks.She dabbed her face with her tissue and sniffled. I felt bad for her. I had only met her just recently and I was already leaving. We had just started getting close too.But I had a strong gut feeling that I would be seeing her sooner than I thought."You sure you don't want to stay?" Jenny asked me. I nodded at her and sighed softly. Truthfully, I didn't ant to leave at a
I woke early the next morning. My wolf was excited. She couldn't wait to see our mate again, but little did she know, I planned on avoiding him as best as possible. I didn't want to talk to him. I wasn't ready for a relationship. I wasn't ready for him, for anything like that.I pulled on my workout clothes and for some reason sensed that I would be running alone. But I didn't mind. I wanted to run by myself. I wanted to be alone and I didn't like the idea of my mate possibly showing up.I left the house, slipping past Ezra and Jenny who were tangled up in each other in the middle of the kitchen. I often walked in on them kissing, and it never usually bothered me. But on this particular morning, it made me feel sick to my stomach.I thought about my mate. Liam. I thought about how we might be like that one day. It made me happy and sad at the same time.I started on my run, keeping a slow jog at first. The air was bitterly cold and I almost decided to go back to the cabin and sit in f
I sat at the table and ate my sandwich. I picked at the watermelon cubes in the middle of the table and eagerly drank the orange juice in my glass. I was starving.Jenny giggled from next to me as she ate some fruit. She was signing forms for something that I assumed was important. But she kept looking up at me. She was distracted."You know, I can't believe that you ran away from him yesterday. It was kind of hilarious," Jenny told me, finally breaking the ice by referencing about the day before with Liam. I stilled and looked up at her.Hilarious? It wasn't hilarious! I ran away because I was petrified! I still was. I was so scared that it kind of made my mind hurt. I knew I shouldn't be scared of Liam, but I couldn't help it. Most of the men in my life were assholes and I felt like I had a right to be cautious."Well he scared me so I ran," I said through of mouthful of sandwich. Jenny smiled and shook her head at me."I wouldn't worry about him, sweetheart. He's a good male. A goo
The next morning I woke feeling good. My mind was clear and I was giddy about the day I had ahead of me. I was happy about the small talk that I had with Liam.After we spoke, he ran back with me. He walked me to the door of my cabin and then winked at me before leaving. I headed inside and jumped into bed feeling like a little school girl.What he said to me made me feel relieved. He wanted to help me. He was going to. He knew that I was scared and he was willing to help me with that. My wolf loved it.After my run with Ezra, I found myself standing back at the boulder with Alfie again. He was in a foul mood and he had been snapping at me all morning. Something bad clearly happened and he was definitely bothered."Hurry up! I don't have all day," Alfie grunted as I pulled. I rolled my eyes at him. When he was in a better mood, I was going to give him a mouthful and make him apologise.I continued pulling. I hadn't even made it to the line before Alfie jumped off. He muttered somethin
I sat myself down at the dinner table and my belly rumbled as I stared at the large bowl of cheesy pasta sitting in front of me. I practically drooled as I picked up my fork and began eating. I was starved despite having eaten all afternoon back at Lila's cabin.Nothing beat Jenny's cooking. She was better than Ezra and I combined."Good, sweetheart?" Jenny asked me as she began eating too. I nodded my head eagerly at her as continued shovelling food into my mouth like an absolute animal.I was part wolf after all.I ate quickly with Jenny. Ezra wasn't here. He apparently had some patrolling business to do with other wolves, which left Jenny and I together whilst he was gone."Who's Veronica?" I asked through a mouthful of mouth. I was curious to find out who this female was. All I found out today from Lila and Liam was that they were potential bond mates before I came along.I wanted to know more about her. I wanted to know if I could kick her ass. I wanted her to stay the hell away
