POV StellaA week had past since the first time Stella had shifted, since then she has been practicing every day with the help of Nep and Athena. James has been extremely busy with pack business since he has found his mate, his father is finally ready to stand down and name him Alpha of the pack.Stella was training with Nep out in the back patio of the main house, Stella was determined to become better and faster at shifting and also fighting in both forms. Taking a drink from her water bottle while Nep was talking to another pack member, she felt herself being pulled within her mind stepping into The another room. Looking around, the room has changed, it has become bigger and the forest that it opens onto looks to be thicker maybe. Athena trots from the forest, majestic as ever, “Hey girly, you got my call” Athenas large head shifted to the left waiting for Stella to respond “I felt myself being pulled here, was that you?” Athena gently nodded her head her. “Is everything okay? Why
POV Stella Where am I? Why is it so bright? How did I get here? Shit where is Jack!Stella could hear beeping, it was annoying until she realised it sounded like a heart monitor. Stella opened her eyes further seeing that she was in a hospital bed. A nurse walked in, smiling seeing she was awake the Nurse said “Hi my name is Helen, you are in the hospital, you were in a bad accident”. Stella couldn’t speak she still didn’t understand what was happening. Helen said, “Can you tell me your name?” Stella nodded her head saying “Um, Yea- yes it’s Stella, Stella Bright, I mean Stella Philipston”.Stella still forgot that she had changed her name to her husband’s last name. JACK!Stella felt her eyes start to water where she realised Jack wasn’t in the room with her, was he hurt? Where was he?Stella rushed her questions “Where is my husband? Is he okay? Has he been here? Do you know where he is?”Helen didn’t reply.Stella continued to stare at Helen waiting for her to respond trying not
POV Stella This can’t be happening. This isn’t real.Stella stayed in bed for days refusing food and refusing help from the nurses. Stella was slowing getting her memories back from the day of the accident. She remembered that Jack was singing to a song on the radio, and she was hanging her arm out the window loving the way the wind felt on her hand. Stella and Jack had just been to the doctor for a fertility appointment, Stella was feeling at complete ease as she had just received great news that their embryo transplant was successful, and she was finally pregnant. After 2 years of trying to fall pregnant and having no diagnosis why she couldn’t fall pregnant naturally this was a relief. Stella was watching Jack smile and sing along to a song on the radio. That’s when it happened. Jack saw the car coming towards them and put his arm in front of Stella to protect her. His last act, to protect Stella. Tears were falling down her cheeks thinking of those last moment over and over ag
It had almost been a month since the accident. Stella was cleared to return to work. Stella was a receptionist at a Law Firm, Stella did not feel like speaking to people but she also did not want to sit at home by herself and look at her home that reminded her of Jack at every turn.His favourite chair. His favourite coffee cup. His clothes His side of the bed.Stella didn’t have it in her to wash his clothes as she didn’t want them to loose his smell. She was at work even through her boss let her know that she could take a break when ever she felt like it. Stella was talking on the phone when it happened the first time. She looked up and froze, she felt like she was being watched. She looked outside the window to her left when she saw him. Jack? Stella took a double take and when she looked back he was gone. She swore it was Jack, she ran outside to look down the street. It was empty. Stella stood there for what felt like hours. When she walked back inside her boss was waiting
Lunatic Yup I’ve gone mad.Stella stood there for a second, closing her eyes and shaking her head, expecting to open her eyes and the figure disappear. When she opened them, he was still standing there looking at her. No staring at her so intensely she felt as if he was trying to burn holes in her. Stella closed her eyes again muttering “You’re going mad, no one is there just walk home”. A voice, a deep smooth voice quietly said “You might be mad but you’re not seeing things I am standing here”. Stella’s eyes flew open. It didn’t sound like Jack’s voice, it was deeper and the way his spoke sounded as if he was from a different time. He stepped into the light. Stella when to gasp but she couldn’t move, he looked like Jack. But didn’t, he was taller then Jack, broader across the chest and looked like he hit the gym a lot. It was his eyes, green like Jack’s but brighter, more intense. His hair was long, longer than Jack’s, it was pulled back in a messy bun. The same colour, dark brow
POV James“My name is James, James Bond”.What the fuck is wrong with me my name is not James Bond!You stuid twat!!why would I tell her that, I never say shit like this what the heck is wrong with me. Get it together!Stella’s face was confused and then annoyed. Stella's throughts boomed into his head "Are you fucking kidding me? Who is this werido? really James bond lol!" James let out a loud short laugh to break the tension. “I’m kidd- I’m joking that’s not my name, well, it is but it’s not um yeah.”Now she’s going to think I’m the lunatic.Suddenly James hears Stella slowly think and confirm his fears “lunafuckingtic” is all she manages to think. “My name is James though, I was just trying to be funny, break the ice. You know, I’m- yeah I think we should sit down?”Again with the babbling just talk normally why is this so hard with her! I am the soon to be alpha when my father retires!Stella doesn’t move so James takes the lead and sits down on the couch opposite her. Stella
POV Stella That was a weird dream. It felt so real though. But a dream, right?Stella opened her eyes she was laying on the couch, with a sigh of relief she closed her eyes again confirming it was a weird dream and that she was just dreaming when she heard it. This loud thumping, it sounded like heartbeat but louder, what was that and why was it so loud! Was it hers? She reached up and felt her pulse on her neck and the rhythm didn’t fit her heart beat, Stella closed her eyes tighter and covering her ears with her hands muttering about how loud that noise was when she heard him speak. “What’s too loud?” Stella sat bolt upright giving her a head spin when she turned to see the James guy sitting in Jack’s chair.Fuck it wasn’t a dream! Shit!James’ face winced like someone had screamed at him. Stella was confused for a moment until she remembered him saying she was yelling her thoughts she then attempted to whisper in her mind. Oh shit my bad is that better? James smiled and nodde
POV JamesJesus, we do look alike. I can’t tell her that. I can’t tell my mate that her dead husband looks just like me. That she probably fell in love with him because he looked like her fated mate. No that’s jumping to conclusions, right? Right? Maybe he is a distant relative?I am over 200 years old you never know he could be one of my descendants or my brothers who died when I was in my early 100s. Nep would know, she always knew this kind of things. Now the hard part, get Stella back to the pack house before she transforms.Clearing his throat James brought Stella out of her thoughts “So, that was a lot. How are you feeling?” Stella paused thinking before rushing her questions out all at once “Fine. Why is that? Have you hypnotised me? Drugged me? Why do I feel calm and trust what you’re telling me?” James could see it in her eyes that she trusted him, but she also was fighting the logic of the situation, James opened the mind think to see if she was projecting and he was
