I walked over and locked the doors, making sure that nobody would be able to enter. When I went back to Cassy she had a confused look on her face and she was awkwardly turning in the chair. ”When my parents realized that they hadn't birthed the perfect daughter, they tried to create one by any means necessary,” I said and removed my cardigan. ”They wouldn't tell me what to do and what not to do when I was a child because, well, as you saw they aren't normal. Instead, whenever i stepped over the line or I did anything un-lady like they would try and show what happens to girls who aren't the mold of perfection…” I removed my long sleeved shirt and placed it on top of my cardigan. ”…they would try and instill in me these habits and ways of life and their way of doing that…” I pulled my tank top over my head and tossed it aside. Cassy gasped and she hadn't even seen a fraction of my fathers art. I turned around, showing of my back for the first time in my life. ”…was beating it int
Nick’s hand was reached out in front of Aiden and the tension rose around us. It thickened for each sedond that Aiden didn't grab it. Aidens eyes were narrowed but he looked relaxed. His chest was puffed out, his shoulders rolled back and he looked down at Nick’s hand, seemingly analyzing the situation and the words Nick had just said. ”We are.” He said and shook his hand. I released a visible breath and y shoulders sunk. My brothers grinned and Edmund started jumping around. He grabbed my shoulders and guided me away. ”Tell us everything, how’s it been?” Edmund asked and brought me over to a stub where we sat down and talked. Nick patted Aiden’s shoulder and the two walked off, I had no idea where to but I'm guessing to talk about something that the rest of us weren't allowed to hear. Obviously. I told them about how it had been living here, obviously leaving out all of the bad parts, so it wasn't a long story. I didn't want to tell them about Sam and Cole or the girls that made
~Unknown POV~ Aiden and Gabby were away so I knew that I had the entire day to do what I had to, without any getting suspicious. ”Have you seen her?” I asked Cole and he sighed. ”Are you really gonna do this?” ”Do you want her to stay?” I asked him and crossed my arms over my chest. He scoffed. ”She’s in town, at the old library.” I knocked on the door and it swung open slowly with a loud shriek. ”Step in,” Her voice was raspy and deep. ”I need you to do something.” I said and walked up to her. It was completely still around us but suddenly books started flying out of their shelves and the dust gathered around us. ”I do nothing for you with that attitude you bring. Get out.” She said. ”Just listen, I need you to contact someone,” I gave her the name and she looked up at me with that wrinkled old face. ”Why?” ”The Luna, she needs to go.” ”Is that so,” ”Yes, she’s not good for the pack so just do as I say.” ”You’re jealous of her and the bond that is being created betw
Cassy wasn't at breakfast and she wasn't answering my texts or calls so I went over to her house to make sure she was fine. I drove up to her house and parked the car. I hadn't seen it before but it was darling and much bigger than I had expected. It was a quaint two-story house with a front side porch and a back yard that was fenced in. I knocked on the door and her father, I assumed, opened up. ”Hi there, how can I help you?” He asked with a bright smile. ”Hi, sir, I'm Gabby, a friend of Cassy’s. I was wondering if she’s here,” ”Gabby? Oh dear, you’re the Luna, where are my manners-” he became a little stressed and reached out his hand, opening the door fully and inviting me in. ”-it’s a pleasure to meet you. Please, come in,” he said and shook my hand. ”Oh no that’s okay, I'm just looking for Cassy,” I said. ”She’s at work, she will be back in about an hour but please, come in, I'll make us some coffee.” I couldn't just turn around and leave, he looked so hopeful standing t
”Hello? Gabby, you still there?” ”Oh, Uhm, yeah i’m here. Listen, thank you for everything you’ve done to prepare for this but, uh…” I was stuck for the right words. Everything felt so right, right now, and the idea of leaving just made me feel sick to my stomach. What if this was where I was supposed to be? Maybe this was my faith, to be with Aiden, everything had been going so well that I believed I was developing actual feelings for him. Were we mates? Probably not, I didn't have my wolf yet so I had no idea who my mate was and I might never find out but if what I had with Aiden was real, emotionally, then maybe it didn't matter whether or not I had a mate. As long as I stayed with him, I could still live in a happy relationship. ”I’m gonna pass on the move,” I said and it was met with silence but the smile returned to Casandra's lips and her eyes started glimmering. ”Are you happy?” He asked me. ”I actually am,” I said and scoffed and shook my head. Never thought I would sa
I was up in the room and with a shaky hand I picked up my phone and dialed. ”Hey!” ”The plan, walk me through it, what do I have to do?” ”Gabby, is everything alright?” ”Just get me out of here!” I threw clothes into my bags, closing them up and cramming down whatever I could as fast as I could. The door opened and my head jerked up, terrified to see Aidenw aalking in but it was Cassy who ran inside. ”Cassy, I'm sorry but I can’t-” She started pulling my clothes out and pushing them down in my bags. She went into the bathroom and grabbed all of my products. ”You’re leaving this fucking place.” She spat and closed all the bags. We put them by the door and she huffed a breath and looked at me. ”You don't deserve this, all the pain you've been through, you deserve none of it.” She said. ”When will they be here?” She asked. ”In twenty minutes.” I said and looked at the clock. ”I’ll take two of the bags downstairs, do you need anything else?” I looked around the room. ”There
”Aiden, what bet?” My mom asked through seething teeth. I looked down at the table and flicked my tongue. ”What have you kids done.” She said in a breath and shook her head. I was on my way to the one person who could know where Gabby was. ’She won't want to see you’ She won't have a choice ’You allowed her rapist to walk free and you were among those that shunned her. She owes you nothing’ I am her Alpha ’Some Alpha’ He said and scoffed. I parked the car and started punching at the stirring wheel. I needed som of the aggression gone before I talked to Cassidy or she wouldn't tell me a thing. My wolf was right, I hadn't been an Alpha for a long time. The shiny exterior I showed my parents was nothing compared to the nasty things I had done or been part of behind their backs. I would have to think about all of that later. First things first. ”Alpha, to what do we owe this pleasure,” her father said as he opened the door. ”Is Cassidy home?” ”Cassy! Please, come in,” He said
I woke up to someone banging on my door. When I looked through the keyhole and saw his face and disheveled hair I was suddenly very much aware of how newly awake I was. I patted down my hair and fixed my robe. ”Hey,” I said when I opened the door. He was in a white t-shirt and grey sweatpants. His thick hair was messy and he looked just as awake as I was. ”Do you have coffee?” He asked tiredly with a cup in his hand. I smiled and nodded my head. The coffee brewed and he sat on the chair and dragged a hand over his face. I tidied up in the kitchen and put everything away. Just as I reached up in the cabinet to bring down two cups, I felt someone behind me. His arm came around my head and pulled down a cup, handing it to me. His body brushed against mine and I felt the heat he exuded. ”Thank you,” I said and adverted my gaze. I placed my hair behind my ear and walked over to the coffee pot. ”Do you have any plans today?” Easton asked and took out the creamer from the fridge.
