Chapter Seventy Three
Rose
A faint buzzing echoed through the hospital room as tufts of black and rainbow hair showered down over the white sheet as I ran a pair of hair clippers over Iris’s head. Iris had closed her eyes and seemed to zone out. It seemed like she was enjoying it, but I didn’t want to pry her about her feelings on it. Maybe it was like getting rid of the remainder of her time with Kroll that she enjoyed the most about it.The door to Iris’s room crashed open as her brothers entered. The curtain by the door fluttered in the air as Alastor threw it out of their way. Both of them were in talking over each other until they saw what I was doing. It was like they became frozen entirely. The curtain came back and hit Alastor in the side of the face, reminding him that the world wasn’t freezing with them.
“What are you doing?” Alastor asked. Horror was written all over his face as he stomped over to snatch the clippers from my hands.“Get your head out of your ass. I
Z TimeJust a reminder that I do have a writing schedule. I am in EST. Tomorrow I will not be posting a chapter. My schedule is posting on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Monday and Friday are my scheduled days off. I appreciate everyone wanting to read my story, but to keep my mental juices flowing I need some downtime. I always do my best to give extra chapters if I have them ready on an off day. Thank you for your understanding and support!

RoseHarriet and I walked out of the cold, sterile pack hospital with our arms linked. We were greeted with a shower of leaves drifting down from the tree branches in the breeze. Alastor, Brigid, Damian, and Orion stayed in Iris’s hospital room. I think that the boys just need to be around her while she was conscious since they found her in such a rough state in the river. I wanted to check in with Iris about how she felt about Matt finding his mate, but that was a conversation without her brothers or my mate present in the room. I made a mental note to check in with her later on the subject.“You look pooped.” Harriet broke the silence first. I turned to her and scrunched my nose with my tongue sticking out. Not a glamorous face, but it felt right in the moment. A pregnant pack member passed and gave a small chuckle causing a blush to erupt on my cheeks.“Doesn’t everybody look pooped these days?” I half yawned and stretched, trying to hide my slight em

Matt“Well, well, well.” Kroll’s voice sang out from a nearby tree. “Should I slice your throat or maybe take inspiration from Alastor and just throw you off a cliff?”“I thought you were supposed to be good at this? It’s been hours, old man.” I breathed heavily.“Why do you have such a death wish?” Kroll leaped down from his perch and stalked towards me. I began to back away from him until I felt the edge of the ground disappear beneath my heel. Kroll’s hand found its way around my neck, his eyes threatening to recreate Alastor’s accident. “Kroll.” A familiar voice called from behind Kroll. “Release him before I return the favor.” A deep rumbling growl echoed throughout the forest.I kept replaying the scene in my mind over and over again as I sat on an uncomfortable old wooden chair at a table with a silver shackle wrapped around my wrist, chaining me to the wall. I rapped my fingers on the table, listening to echoes that bounced off of the wall

OrionI sat in my office drumming my pen on my desk. Sprawled across the desk before me were maps of the surrounding mountains and towns. I had yet to figure out where Kroll was keeping Matt. After we recovered, Iris, I had been hoping that she would have been a little more helpful. It was unfortunate that Kroll was covering his tracks so well. If only he hadn’t drugged her, maybe she would have been able to give me any hints at all would have made a world of difference. I would never hold it against her. It’s not like she decided to be kidnapped.I groaned as I dropped the pen onto the desk and roughly ran my hands across my face. It felt like I was running in a traffic circle, but I had no idea which path was my exit. I pushed back in my chair away from my desk and walked to the balcony throwing open the doors. I stepped out in the crisp Autumn air. My eyes wandered over my pack; every building represented my pack members. All of those people were relying on

Orion“Alastor and I are going to Silver Crescent….” before I could finish my sentence, Rose’s head snapped up from my chest, and she pushed herself away from me. Her face was an open book, the fear, confusion, and curiosity screamed from every pore.“But, why?” She clambered to her feet, fishing her hoodie from the floor and throwing it on, hiding her skin from me.“I want to take a look for myself, but this time only you and Harriet will know where Alastor and I are.” I slid out of my chair and collected my clothes off of the floor. I grabbed Rose’s sports bra, socks, and shoes and placed them on the edge of my desk. I felt her eyes glued to me, but not because of my nudity or arousal.“And I want to go let Delilah run free in the woods, but that’s a stupid idea right now too.” Her eyes threw daggers at me with every word she spoke.“Come on, Rose,” I sighed as I slipped back on my boxer briefs and jeans. My belt clasp jingled as I fumbled around

MattThe days went by painfully slow. They consisted of screaming outside my door, gross food delivered by random rogues I had never seen before, and the occasional visit from Hodges. Whenever I saw Hodges, the conversations were never really informative and left me frustrated. He kept his cards close to his chest, and it got to the point where just seeing him made me want to hawk a loogie in his face.“Matt, are you even listening to me?” Hodges voiced polluted the sanctuary of my mind.“No, I am not.” I dryly replied; I didn’t even bother looking at him. I kept my eyes glued to the tiny beam of daylight streaming into the room. Goddess, how I missed the feel of sunshine on my skin. I missed shifting into my wolf form, feeling the soil beneath the pads of my paws. I even missed the lovesick wolf who lived in my mind who drooled over every female who was nice to us. I wondered what Pan would do if I ever got to see Pru again without being drugged or shackled in

Matt“Didn’t you know the night of the fire Hodges was talking to Kroll and a pack warrior caught him? Hodges killed the warrior because he didn’t want to be connected to the rogues. I think Kroll said it was the Beta.”My blood began to boil, and my vision went red. This sick bastard murdered his best friend and then has been living with me like he had a clean conscience. I was fuming, ready to leap to my feet and try to rip the chain out of the wall but warm waves of electricity licked underneath my skin. The thoughts of strangling Hodges with the chain locking me away from Pan disappeared as Pru’s hand rested on my cheek. Just one touch, she was able to grab ahold of me before I spun out of control.“That was my dad….” I trailed off as I looked into Pru’s chocolatey brown orbs. My anger still roared inside of me but looking into her eyes numbed the pain that was fighting for control.“Oh, Matt.” Pru almost whispered as she latched her arms around my ne

RoseThe black SUV with my mate in it disappeared into the distance. It was only Harriet and me now. Harriet's arm wrapped around my waist, and I leaned my head on her shoulder. We stood there for a few moments like two statues in the chilly Autumn breeze."So only we know?" Harriet broke the stillness that had settled over us."That's how Orion wanted it." I sighed as I watched a few pack members walk past the packhouse on the sidewalk. All of them were oblivious to the fact that their Alpha and Beta had left to play Sherlock Holmes and Watson. A mother walked by, heading towards the shops, hand in hand with her curly-haired son, who was talking vividly with his hand. Two teenage girls were giggling as they walked into the coffee shop. I caught a glimpse of Hodges when he wandered by with a phone pressed to his ear. He looked tired and concerned. How was the handling Matt being captured? Had anyone even thought to check on him? The poor man. He had done

RoseI slowly opened my eyes to reveal that I was back in the safety of Orion’s office. I stared down at the mansion; my fingers lingered over, and hastily, I dropped the map on top of the pile of other maps. Where in the world did I just go? Where in time did I just go? My eyes fell down to the date in the corner of the map, 1921.***Do you want to have dinner together still?*** Harriet’s voice echoed in my mind.***Uh, yeah. Are you getting hungry?*** I responded to her as I stared at the map.***Yes, ma’am, Luna, ma’am *** Harriet sang loudly at me.*** I’ll meet you in the kitchen in a minute.***I walked to the door to leave the office yet stopped to take one last look at the map that laid on Orion’s desk. I nervously chewed on my bottom lip. I slipped into the guest room to grab my premonition journal before making my way towards the kitchen. Harriet was skipping down the stairs as I rounded the corner.“Hey, Rosie Posie! What s
