Echoes of the Pack Chapter 60
I only realize when we're all going through the warm-up rounds that Palus is here too. It surprises me because I thought Abrego and Palus aren't on good terms, but perhaps that's exactly why they have been invited. I notice Mira cozying up to the Palus Alpha, Kieran, much better.The girl I'm currently paired with is a fair match. A few months ago, and she would have handed my ass to me. But I take her down easily, holding her down in the sand until she finally stops squirming and taps out.We shake hands after, though she doesn't seem too happy to be beaten. None of the Palus Wolves do, though the Abregons are all too thrilled with me taking down another Wolf.Jayden picks me up and spins me around, "Fourth win! Alora, what the hell were you so nervous about?"I don't say anything, just pat her cheek and blush furiously. We watch as the final battles finish up. Ashenia is facing off one of the Solari females, and Hendrick is up against a Palus male.Jayden howls as Hendrick lands a p

"I was hoping we'd fight today."I turn to my opponent, George, and stiffen. It's one of the Palus Wolves from Washington-the one who had dragged me from my car and beaten the snot out of me. His teeth only show more as he realizes that recognize him."You've gotten a bit braver since we last met," He begins to circle me, even though the bell hasn't gone off, "Let's hope you don't need any Alphas saving you this time.""Wait-"He launches himself towards me, and I dive to the side. Shouts come from the Alphas but it's futile. I dodge his foot as it comes down where my head had been. I roll to my knees and swat away his next attack."The bell hasn't gone!" Alpha Kieran hollers as his Wolf's foot makes contact with my chest. "This is against the rules!""Alora!" Hendrick rushes forward but is held back by his Palus counterpart. I don't get much of a glimpse of their fight breaking out before George lifts me up.I'm thrown to the ground and George's body slams into mine before I can reco

I rip away from his hands. I hit the ground quicker than I can catch myself. Tears soak my cheeks and neck, and I pant unsteadily. So much pain...so much grief and terror consumes me.I look up and see her. The blond ghost. Cynbel."You saw me?" I whisper. She nods. A small, sad smile touching her lips. Her hands are on my cheeks and I let out a shaky breath. "Why did you see me before you died?""Alora..."I look over at Kennedy. He stares at me, confused and shaken up. Glancing from him to Cynbel, my entire being is consumed with a dull ache, like a faint reminiscent of the vision. I squeeze my eyes shut and sit up."Who are you...talking to?"His hands hover over my skin as I make my way to my feet again. He doesn't touch me.I lay a hand on my stomach, still reeling from the violent images that have plagued my mind. His mate had been murdered as well, in a cruel, horrific way. Eamonn narrowly survived the ordeal. He's all that Kennedy has left of his mate of Cynbel.I stare at Ken

I trace the lines of my hands as the final fight wraps up and everyone begins to pack up. Ashenia is the winner and is toted around on Hendrick and another Wolf's shoulders. Mira and Ilya howl for her, and soon the entire pack joins in.Her eyes brighten up, and Ashenia grins widely as her chest wells up with pride."Alora..."I look down at Jayden, but she's still fast asleep. With a hitched breath, I turn my eyes up. Ariella sits on the other side of the cot, worried and bug-eyed."Are you okay?" She grabs my hand, looking up at where I assume Kennedy is in the distance, "I-""I'm sorry," I whisper, "I'm sorry if I've been so busy with this pack, Ariella. I shouldn't have gotten distracted..."She squeezes my hand gently but disappears as Avianna walks through her. My eyes well up with tears of despair. I wipe them away when Avianna gives me a concerned look and shrug."I heard what happened during your last fight," She mixes a cupful of herbs together and waves them under Jayden no

It seems to be sufficient for him, because he relaxes a fraction. But his tone is stone-cold as he speaks, "Don't ever touch a Luna or Alpha like that, Alora. Not unless you want to lose your fucking hand.""I'm-""Don't," He runs a hand over his face, "For the love of The Moon-don't say 'I'm sorry!"My teeth grit together, and I look down before he can catch the gleam in my eyes. But apparently I'm not quick enough, because he's in my face again before I can step back to Jayden."What?" His eyes are amber. I look away quickly, unsettled as his wolf surges forward, "What?""Stop it," I try walking around him, but he grabs my arm. His yelling has drawn the attention of those around us, but everyone ignored us until he yanks me abruptly. I crash into his chest force, "Hendrick!"I press my palms against his shoulders and try to pry myself from him. He growls lowly his hand clamps down on the back of my neck. Pain blooms from the pressure point as he squeezes down, just like I've seen Ai

"What the hell happened to your car? Why are you all cut up?" Her dad asks when she comes home. He's a small man, barely taller than Alora, and has dark, peppered hair. "Alora-don't walk away from me--""Don't talk to me about walking away," Alora mutters as she walks through the entrance and up the stairs."Excuse me?" He asks but she continues to go up to the stairs. He follows her, even as she goes straight to Ariella's bedroom, "Young woman, you may think that you're all grown up but ""But nothing!" She turns around and I flinch away. She screams like Kiana does when Mac or Da have annoyed her.Her thoughts ring through my head even though I barely understand them. She's fed up with everyone telling her what is and isn't the fucking world. I scrunch my brow but can't make sense of that...Alora must be angry if she's swearing like Mac.She marches right up to her Da until she's in his face, "I'm so fed up with you acting like my dad when you're around. But where have you been, Dad

Kaizer's arms consume me. I sink into his arms as my parents hug his parents goodbye. We've just been over to discuss me participating in dance again, and thankfully they have decided to pull some strings for me. I'll lose my position as any future leads but I'm more than happy to dance ensemble."It's been great seeing you again," He smiles, "We only ever see each other in school now.""We'll hang out soon," I promise, "I've just been sorting out a lot of stuff.""Take your time. I'll be waiting."His cheeks are pink as we leave, waving as we pull out of their suburban driveway. My mom turns around and grins."He likes you, baby."I roll my eyes, "Ma-I have a boyfriend.""Who?" My dad asks sharply. "Is he the one who's been getting you up to no good?""No....Hendrick..." I says slowly, "Detective Claude introduced us at...Ariella's funeral. He goes to the same school as me.""Oh? Is he a senior too?" My mom smiles at me."He's a junior."My dad packs out laughing but says nothing mor
Echoes of the Pack Chapter 67
"Mac. Let her go." It's Kiana that has him hesitate. His claws are half in my throat, but he pauses when his mate speaks. She shakes her head, "This isn't how we do things. You know that because of what Leon did. So let her go."He does, though I'm not much better off. With the pressure released from my throat, I can breathe again but it feels like inhaling nails. I bow over and hack away. Eamonn huddles over me, his little face scrunch up in frightened tears. I try to tell him that it's fine, but I can barely see straight. And, honestly, I'm halfway crying myself.I'm quickly becoming well-versed with the look of someone who wants to kill.Kiana comes up beside me and inspects the damage, "Fuck it, Mac! You should have been gentler-she brought him back. What the-Where do you think you're goin'?"He's disappeared into the thick cover of the forest. I can't look away from the trees. I'm convinced that he's going to change his mind and come back. He wants me dead-I've never seen someone
