Chapter Sixty
Rose
After telling Brigid about the premonition I trudged back to the pack house, my feet felt like lead. Each step was more strenuous than the last. As I slowly made my way down the west wing of the pack house, I wasn’t really looking forward to seeing Orion at the moment, but I had the feeling he would hunt me down if I didn't see him sooner or later.
He made it crystal clear he was mad at me and he didn’t approve of my actions today. Of course in the heat of the moment, I let it slip that I had felt like I had been watched before. How could I be so stupid? I had been purposely biting my tongue and now what was the point? I guess at this point it was best to just rip the bandaid off.
Orion’s office doors were cracked, letting light leak into the hallway. I sucked

OrionI had doubled our warriors patrolling the border, but it didn’t feel like it was enough. I just felt like I needed to do more. I would do anything to keep her safe, but she was right. I couldn’t lock her away. She had every right to live her life. It is unfair to let my insecurities overshadow her ability to live.I sighed as I slid down the wall in my basement gym. I had been disappearing down here since the intruder. I just needed to get out my pent-up frustration before I did or said anything more that could push my mate further away.We smoothed over a crack, but it felt like at any second, the facade would crumble away. We had been civil, but there was an unspoken elephant in the room every time we were alone. I made an ass of myself when I let myself act like a teenager downing the last of my stash of bourbon, but I felt like I needed to do something. I was going crazy waiting for her to make her way back home.Now I was going crazy just waiti

RoseI looked around the misty forest letting out a not-so-subtle groan. Didn’t I just have a premonition? I honestly don’t think that I could handle another one so quickly. I fell quiet, waiting for something to tell me what way I should go. A soft breeze brushed against the back of my neck, beckoning my attention.“Here we go again,” I muttered under my breath as I began to let the breeze take me into its current. I snaked between trees and the underbrush of the forest, trying to keep up with the blistering pace it had set. It was like I was in a marathon and all I could do was pray I could keep up. Why was the wind in such a hurry today? Something didn’t feel right. All of a sudden, my feet began to run on their own, no matter how much I tried to slow down. I was no longer in control. I was locked into someone else’s path; I was just here for the ride. My breath became ragged and rough. My legs began to ache, all of the muscles I had faded away. Was this wha

RoseToo many bodies were crammed into Brigid’s little cabin. There were only two people who had room. Orion paced the floor. He had hastily thrown his hair up in a messy bun with a couple of stray pieces hanging down, framing his face. Brigid was unfazed in her chair.It was hard to move without bumping into another person. It was like we were trying to make a werewolf pyramid on her couch. At any second, I thought it would collapse. It was an Armando sandwich on the bottom tier. Iris and Alastor made up the bread, which left poor Damian to be the meat. Harriet was content as she nuzzled up against Alastor. My options were Damian, Iris, the floor, or standing. Sitting on Damian would only bring the wrath of Orion, and the floor would interrupt my mate’s pacing rhythm. I was about to give up and just lean against the couch; until Iris grabbed my hand and pulled me on top of her.“Oh, come on, Luna. I won’t bite...well, at least not you.” Iris beamed at me before

MattIt was a typical nonpatrol evening, just like the others since I became a pack warrior. I was in the training center with my headphones on, letting my surroundings melt away into empty space as I finished my set of Romanian deadlifts. I let the barbell clang to the floor before stretching out my hamstrings. I shook my arms out, allowing them to flop back and forth, preparing myself for another set. It felt like I was being smothered by a wet blanket, so I stripped the sweat-drenched shirt I was wearing, letting it fall to the floor.I added some more weight on each side of the barbell. I took a deep breath as I let my fingers curl around the barbell into a mixed grip. I wriggled my feet shoulder’s width apart, and with one quick fluid motion, I stood up straight, clasping the bar.I felt sweat drip down the nape of my neck and over my chest with every deadlift. When my set was over, I dropped to the ground and pulled my headphones from my ears. Only then di

MattI hesitantly pushed the heavy wooden door open, ready for anything that might come our way. Nothing but stale air with a mix of dust greeted us. I sniffed the air for anything prominent that could give me some clues, but the only thing I could pick up was the faint scent of rogue.“Maybe someone found a key and opened it?” Iris offered as she followed closely behind me. I felt her warm breath tickle the back of my neck. We dropped our bags in the foyer as I peeked around the corner.“Yeah, they just happen to find a random key and then go around to the dozens and dozens of buildings searching for the winner.” I scoffed as we crept down the hall.“Don’t mock me; it was just an idea. Why are we sneaking around? There are no fresh smells lingering.” Iris ignored me as she walked around me. “Let’s just do a sweep of the house and keep on moving. The more we walk around on eggshells, the more creeped out I am going to get. I’m sure this place was lovely w

OrionI had just finished a pull-up when an ear-piercing scream echoed throughout the packhouse. It was Rose. I immediately dropped from the bar I had been dangling from and hit the ground running.***Rose, are you okay?*** I mind linked her as I bolted up the stairs. Instead of receiving an audible response, all I heard was uncontrollable sobbing. Seconds later, I busted through our bedroom door, finding Rose a crying mess on the floor. As I took steps closer, I noticed she clutched a box in her hand, but her head hung low, blocking my view.“Flower?” I cautiously asked. At the sound of my voice, she hastily placed the box on the ground, scrambling to her feet. Tears streamed down her face as she launched herself into my arms. “Shhh, baby, it’s okay. I’m right here!” I tried to calm her, but it only seemed to fuel the raging inferno behind her emotional outbreak.“It...It’s...not okay.” Rose managed to choke out through her cries.“What the hell w

HarrietThe thought of Matt being held hostage made me completely numb. I would always have a soft spot for Matt. No matter how much he infuriated me or let me down, deep down, I would never forget the boy with the floppy curly hair who looked so lonely staring out of the packhouse window. I remember the first time I really saw him, I was eight. I thought he looked like a sad miniature poodle or something. Whenever I teased him and called him 'poodle,' it brought so much joy to his eyes. He just wanted human interaction. Why couldn't the adults that walked around him see that?Growing up, we always had a pendulum type of relationship. Sometimes we rarely spoke, and sometimes Matt rivaled Rose as my best friend. The older we got, the pendulum seemed to slow drastically. Months ago, I thought that Matt would be my mate, it had felt like the swaying pendulum had finally stopped, but fate had other plans for us. The fire illuminated all the cracks and impurities in our rel

OrionAfter hours of staring at various maps of the surrounding mountains, we had come up with about a dozen areas that would be a suitable place for Kroll to be hiding with Iris and Matt. When I examined Iris’ ear, I knew that there was no way they would be in Silver Crescent. By the time her ear would have been cut off, packaged, smuggled into my territory, and delivered, it would become much more rigid if it was from as far away as Silver Crescent. I also knew Kroll was smart enough to not linger in my territory. He was a sociopath, but even in the twisted recesses of his mind, he was more intelligent than that. I sent out groups of warriors to only scout the areas. They were not to engage or put themselves in any danger. They were to report back as soon as they found anything.Damian had fallen asleep in one of the chairs by my fireplace, but Alastor was bursting with frantic energy as he paced my office deep in his own thoughts. I leaned back in my chair; exhausti
