Chapter 144
The air was sucked out of the room. Justin was completely focused on Sky and I didn’t want to interrupt. However, if I thought maybe something would mend the relationship between Justin and Sky, this was not it. This would fracture them further, depending on how she reacted. Looking at her face, it was completely blank. Her eyes were the only thing that shifted and it was like she was trying to search for the truth. My eyes met Kev who gave me a nod.
“W-what…what are y-you talking about?” Sky finally spoke, her eyebrows knit together.
“Sky, I know…I know you love him. I know he’s your brother. Trust me. I wouldn’t…this is the last thing I would ever want to tell you. But Sky…he’s not…he’s not your Em anymore. He’s gone. He has been for a long time. We just never realized.” Justin searched her face but outside of the knit eyebrows, there was nothing to give away her f

*** Skylar’s POV *** ‘Sky…’I ignored Raine as I drove. All the windows in Thing were down and my face already felt numb as the cool air whipped around me. Blasting my playlist, I didn’t want to hear anything but the screaming and the wind. My own thoughts were my enemy right now. Even though it felt right now like Justin was my own enemy.Ethan made me believe that maybe there was something that motivated him outside of him just attacking Emmett. I believed Ethan, thought that maybe, Justin would have something that made sense. Something that I could have forgiven him for. Slamming my palm into the steering wheel, I felt the vibration in my other hand.I was so stupid. Seeing Justin in front of me, his eyes meeting mine, and I could feel my heart beat. It was like every feeling that I had for him roared back to life. The small moments we shared, the kisses, the touches, and just simple words of affection. His friendship meant so much to me. I’d done nothing but shove all those feelin

I hooked my keys on the little hanger right next to the stairs. I’d stuck around the mall until the shops started to close. I watched as employees pulled down their gates and said goodbye for the night. I stayed until the last showing of the movie theater let out a stream of people. The once packed garage of cars now was completely empty save for a group of cars that were most likely employees near the north end.Even then, I didn’t go back to Thing right away. I walked around the streets. The still open shops and restaurants that worked past the nine o’clock were lighting up the roads that now had a light dusting of snow on them. I walked until my cheeks stung and my hands were cold in the pocket of my sweatshirt. There weren’t answers in walking though. Not that I was looking for them.Raine and I got stuck in a loop of ‘what ifs’ without any proof and it seemed moot to continue going back and forth. I just didn’t feel like h

Anger, sadness, betrayal, everything I had felt when I heard Justin attacked Emmett roared to life but now it was regarding my own twin. My own fucking brother. What else had he done? What other lies was I not apart of? Who did he hurt?I couldn’t hold it in anymore as I leaned forward and wailed. Rocking back and forth, I tried to gather the pieces of myself but it was no use. Emmett never intended on coming here. He didn’t bother creating a home. Not here. Justin was right. Fuck. He was right and it felt worse than thinking he was wrong.My stomach rolled. Oh goddess. I was going to be sick. I needed out of here. Stumbling into the kitchen, I leaved over the sink and emptied my stomach. The apple, the coffee, hell, the lemonade from yesterday. It all burned as I threw it up, tears stinging my eyes. The cuts on my legs were leaving trails of blood and I grimaced. Taking out the pieces of ceramic, I dropped them into the sink before I felt my knees start to give.Sliding down to the fl

I heard Emmett snort, even without speaker being on. “For being so strong, sometimes you’re just so spineless.”My face screwed up in anger and pain. “I’m spineless?” I hit the speaker button. “What about you? You took my curse!”“You didn’t even notice! I started freshman year! It was a little at a time but I watched you. The moment you started to look at me odd, I’d stop. Let it settle. And then start back up. You didn’t even fucking notice! Not that it was gone. And not that I was taking it!” He yelled into the phone and I shook.“Freshman year…that’s…”He scoffed. “Don’t fucking bleed for me. I managed to set you up to take over. I set up everything. And yes, a few things went wrong. I never meant for you actually leave in the first place. But Dad and that stupid Alpha thought they would go around me to make a deal.”Shaking my head, I couldn’t even fathom what he was saying. “You said…you would…protect me. You only showed up because you knew already what was happening…”“I wanted

Everything now was hazy. At one point I think I may have picked myself off the floor. Or maybe it was Raine. She took over sometimes, gently nudging me out of the way. Most of the time though, I couldn’t feel her. I couldn’t feel anything.I spent my time curled up in the chair that faced the windows in my room. But I wasn’t seeing out. I wasn’t looking out. All my feeling was gone. Part of me half expected rogues to come attack and drag me back to the pack. Time continued to move and I’d been left alone.Wasn’t that what I wanted?What I asked for?Questions came and went in my mind but never any answers. Answers right now meant pain. All I wanted was to be numb. I didn’t want to feel anything. I didn’t even know who I was anymore.I probably should have been more alarmed when the creak of my bedroom door echoed in the room. Raine had tried to put some music on but I turned it off. Music was soul foo

“I’m sorry, baby. If I could take this away I would. You know I would.”I tried to swallow my sobbed but I could barely breathe. “He…he…” My eyes shut tight, trying to be able to spoke through my breaths. “He’s not…done. I’m…scared…he might…hurt you…or anyone…”“Hey, hey. It’s okay. Take your time. We will figure this out.” It was Justin this time.My eyes slid to his. “I…I don’t think…I can kill him…”Justin tucked some hair behind my ear. “No one is asking you to, Sky.”“But…”“Right now, that’s not what you need to be worrying about. We will figure it out. The fact that you have rejected his plans already throws a wrench in his plans already. It might take him some time to recover and plan something. In the meantime, we get stronger

A plate dropped into the sink and the two of them turned on me, their eyes wide. Ethan burst out laughing and Justin turned red.“No! The hell, Sky! Why would you ask that?”I shrugged. “You guys just seem in sync is all. That usually comes with taking your relationship to the next level.”Justin whined and looked at Ethan. “You’re supposed to help me! Say we haven’t!”Ethan shook his head, still laughing. “She brought it up before. I think she wants us too.”Justin gagged and looked back at me “Are you serious? Sky. I mean…we’re your mates. Not…I mean…we are but like…”My eyebrow rose as I watched Justin flail at an explanation. Ethan continued to find his struggle funny as hell and I tried to cover my own smile by sipping the Sprite I took out. Finally, he threw up his hands and stomped away to my bedroom, slamming the door. Dropping m

Hello everyone! I’ve been updating on my social media but I wanted to sneak in a quick update here. I’m sorry for the break. I promise it was not intentional. I’m actually beyond sad that I can’t write. A week ago I started feeling really bad and it just got progressively worse. I went to the doctor. Got meds and have been trying to hang in there the entire week. But after five days of mot even 2hrs of sleep a night, I was at my wits end. Hubby took me to the ER this morning. After x-rays, it’s confirmed I have pneumonia. Which is both good and bad. Pneumonia sucks but none of the medication that was previously given to me has been working. Now we can actually tailor the medication to pneumonia. I’m able to write this because I slept for 6ish hours today. ^_^ Finally. I can barely keep my eyes open. But I already feel so much better. I am going to do my best to kick this and get back to writing. I have been thinking about it. I want to write so bad. I just haven’t had the strength
