Faye
I hate rehab centres. I hate the people who work here. I hate walking through the facilities with my raging mother. I hate being the grown up. I hate watching them cuff my mother and sedate her. I hateI hatei hateeverything_____________No matter how many times I do it, I always cry in the way back to my house after dropping her at a rehab centre. I always wish the world would just swallow me whole. I wipe a tear from my blurry eyes. My phone rings again and I toss it into the back seat. Aidan needs to stop calling!I look at the signs on the boards as I drive down the freeway.Against all better judgement, I take the exit to the beach close to my mothers facility.Parking, I breathe in the salty air. I walk down the board walk. But an ice cream and squidge my toes in the sand. I become a child again. No more making drugs, selling and shipping them. No more bills and papRelated chapters

“Go away, Aidan.” I don’t even look at him as I walk up to my front door. “Where the hell have you been?” He shouts at me as he pushes off the threshold of my door. “Out.” I unlock the door. “Where you driving while drinking?” “No.” I smile at him. “Now go away.” I slam the door in his face and lock it. I hear him pounding against it but pull a cigarette out of the container and light it before turning up the radio. ‘We are between, we are between, yeah we are’I take a deep breath and lean against the counter. ‘Somewhere between dust and the stars’I sniff the cigarette out and head upstairs. Tonight is music and pizza night! So I pull off my pants and pull on my favourite green crop top and Lacy green panties. I go back downstairs and turn the mus

Jared I stretch out in bed. I don’t think I’ve ever slept that well in my life! ‘Where’s Faye?’ Felix asks groggily. ‘Let’s stay in bed with her the whole day.’ ‘Let me go find her.’I slip out of bed and head downstairs following her delicious scent. I find her in the kitchen wearing my t-shirt. “Morning Kitten.” Her eyes snap up to mine and she smiles. ‘She is so perfect.’ Felix coos. He is such a love sick puppy. “Morning darling.” I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that accent. “I wasn’t sure what you like so I made a lot of things for breakfast.”She places plate after plate of food on the counter. Pastries and eggs in ever form and bacon and sausages and beans and fruit salad and yogurt and an array of freshly squeezed juices. “T

“I think it’s time we head.” Chiara says and heads over to grab Nick. “Oh. Okay.” I say a bit disappointed. “Us too.” Danika loops her arm through Aidan’s. The rest of the guys say the same and everyone leaves. I wave from the threshold as everyone drives away. I head back into the kitchen where Jared leans against the counter. “Why didn’t you say.” He growls at me. “Say what?” What is he talking about? I start putting the dishes into the sink and tidying up. He pins me to the counter. “Tell me you didn’t cum?” His breath tickles my cheeks. “Danika told you.” I frown. “She shouldn’tve had to you. You should’ve.” “It’s not a big deal.” I place my hand on his chest in an attempt to push him away. He lifts me onto

Jared Her scent is intoxicating. It’s the best drug I’ve even encountered in my life. To be fair, the top spot was easy to take because I’m not a big drug user. But this, her, it’s all so perfect. You hear stories of what it’s like having a mate. Aidan told me about him and Danika a lot. But you never really know what it’s like till you experience it for yourself. ‘I particularly enjoy the part where we’re the only ones to make our mate cum.’ Felix chips in on my thoughts, purring like a kitten.‘That’s what you’re thinking about? Sex? She’s literally asleep in our arms and you’re thinking about sex?’ ‘Aren’t you? She is completely naked and pressed against us. She also smells like us.’‘That she does.’ I smirk down at my sleeping mate that smells so deeply of me. To be honest, I feel

Unknown POV We head through the airport with an aura of ‘don’t fuck with us’. As we walk through the gates, the only person in the place leans on a far wall. If it wasn’t for the copper hair I would’ve missed the slender figure dressed in all black. We head over to her and she pushes off the wall. She almost snarls as I smirk at her. “It’s been a long time, Pix.” “Not long enough.”_________________Faye The drive home is uncomfortable to say the least. Reece drives my car and I give directions. If I’d know it was him coming I would’ve prepared myself better. I recognise most of the men in the party of 10 across the 3 cars from my younger years in Scotland. Most of them in their late 20’s, early 30’s now. All excellent at their jobs. Some of them are as young, if not younger then I am. Those I do

Wednesday evening comes quickly because I had a lot of order to prep so I skipped school. The people at my house thankfully made themselves busy outside of the house for the day. Weather it was pleasure or business, I don’t care. So I’m surprised when I have to turn my lights on in my office. “Hey Pix.” Reece walks into my office. “I’m busy.” I don’t even look up from my stack of finance papers. “I’m getting tired of your attitude.” He spits at me. “Then leave me alone. My attitude can’t bother you if you’re not around me.” “You truly are a spoiled brat.” He Scottish accent always gets stronger when he’s angry. “After everything we did for you, I did for you, this is how you treat me?” He stalks towards me. “I owe you nothing.” I sit back in my chair and place my arms on the rests w

The entire field turns to look at us. The loud mouthed boy looks shocked before he falls to the ground and clutches is bleeding arm, crying. “Anyone else?” I turn completely around to the group of boys who are all silent and shaking their heads. “Right! Gather round and we can start. If you wish to see the pack doctors, go. But know I won’t wait for you or catch you up. The bullet didn’t hit anything vital, it went straight through and because you’re a wolf the bleeding has already stopped and will be healed in a few minutes.” He decided to stay and gathers with the other boys while sobbing. “Let’s start with the basics, how to clean the weapons.” _____________________Jared Everyone stops dead as the gun shot goes off. Flint screams at me to find Faye. We might not be on the best terms right now but she is still my mate and I need to protect her. As we

My mother is sober when I fetch her. Which means she throws ever insult and snide remark she can as we drive to the house.I’ve learnt to ignore her. I suppose that’s how I’m so good at ignoring everyone else. My former friend group tried to ‘fix it’ but I shut all of that down very quickly. Chiara and Danika’s group then had their attempt which had the same result. Hadley attempted to ‘collect the date you owe me’ but I turned him down which resulted in a lot of anger, him grabbing me and the two of us fighting in the halls. “Those bruises are very ugly, Freya.” My mother coos from besides me. “How do you expect to find a husband looking like that?” No concern for me. Never any concern for me. Not “is it a boy who did that too you?”, “do we need to file a report against someone?” Or simply “are you okay darling?
