The Chosen Chapter Twenty Six
I stared at Matt as pain pulsed through my shoulder. I didn't understand what was happening. Gritting my teeth, I tightened my hand around the arrow in my shoulder. "I told you I would kill you if I saw you again." Came Matthew's reply.Groaning in pain, I turned to the woman in the room. The longer I gazed at her, the more familiar she became. Panting through the pain, I groaned once more. "Who are you?"A small pout graced her lips. Taking a small step closer towards me, I watched as a small smile replaced the frown on her face. "I thought you would at least recognise your mother, Annabelle."Frowning, I shook my head. There was no way this woman was my mother. My mother abandoned my father and me. She left us with nothing. "I don't have a mother... no mother would abandon her child for her greed."A flash of hurt crossed her face before it hardened with a scowl. "You know nothing.""I know enough to know you are no mother to me." I snapped.Nodding, she smirked. "Very well."Before
The Chosen Chapter Twenty seven
The sounds of snarls and growls filled the forest, with smaller animals scurrying out of our way and into safety. My heart pounded in my chest as I chased after Sharlee in her wolf form. The sound of my paws hitting the ground along with my panting filled my ears, as my senses began to pick up on things I had never heard before. I could hear rabbits running as we neared, along with birds chirping in the trees off in the distance as faint growling behind me seemed to get closer and closer.The more I focused on the sounds around me, the more my head began to hurt. It was as if someone had taken fathers hammer and repeatedly pounded on the side of my head. Shaking my head, a small growl fell from my lips before I pushed my legs to run faster. Dodging and jumping over trees, we found ourselves back at the lake.Turning to me, Sharlee changed back into her human form. Holding her hands up high, she sighed. "You need to listen to me!" she said with panicked eyes. It was almost as if she wa
The Chosen Chapter Twenty Eight
Staring at Gabriel with wide eyes, I watched as his face became red. His eyes flashed from bright silver back to their dull ones, with each deep breath he took. With each rise and fall of his chest, I feared his beast would take control.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I took a careful step towards my chosen. Reaching out a shaky hand, I flinched as a deep growl slipped from Gabriel's throat, and his eyes snapped to my hand. As if realising what he had done, Gabriel sighed before pulling me into his arms. Resting my ear against his chest, I felt my heart falter as his bet widely."I won't let them take you, Anna." Kissing the top of my head, a small growl fell from his lips.Gripping the side of his waist, scenarios of what could happen to the people I knew sent shivers down my spine. "I can't have our people dying because of me," I whispered.Pulling back just enough so his eyes connected with mine, I watched as they swirled with different hues of grey. I knew he was angry by the w
The Chosen Twenty Nine
Watching as people began to leave the room, I felt my lungs start to burn. Releasing the breath I hadn't realised I had been holding, I felt my lungs yearn for air. Taking a deep breath, I leaned over the chair in front of me. Beside me Gabriel's sudden growl echoed off the wooden walls, sending chills down my spine."I don't care if he is my father and former Alpha, he needs to respect me and my chosen." He whispered, to no one in particular. I agreed. Although his father was someone powerful, I couldn't help but feel that since I had arrived there was more growing tension between the two alphas. It was as if Gabriel's father was still trying to stay in power, yet seemed to be failing.Standing from my bent position, I turned to Gabriel with a small frown. "Your father is waiting for you... you should go." I whispered.Snapping his gaze to me, Gabriel stared at me for what felt like minutes. I watched as the pink flesh of his tongue came to swipe across his bottom lip, something I no

Turning to Sharlee with a small smile, I pulled her into a tight hug. After sitting on the floor with her and hearing about Ailee, I wanted nothing more than to find Gabriel. He needed to know what his sister was doing. He already had a suspicion about her and now more than ever I needed Gabriel. I needed to know what was going on with his family and where I fit into things.Moving away from Sharlee, I watched her eyes flicker from my face to the door behind me. Bowing her head, Sharlee spoke. "Mrs Knoll."Quickly turning around, I spotted Mrs Knoll standing at the door with a small smile. She looked tired as if she had the weight of the world on her shoulder. Stepping away from Sharlee, I made my way towards Mrs Knoll. Resting her hand on my lower back, she rubbed small circles there."It's best we leave now." Her voice was soft, warmth dripping from her words. Nodding, I followed her out the door. Before the door was able to close in my face, I quickly turned to smile at Sharlee. I
The Chosen Thirty One
Staring at Gabriel with half-lidded eyes, I couldn't help the little sparks that drifted down my back. It felt like someone had a flaming torch running along my back, causing the beautiful feeling to tingle in its place. Every little spark that flowed along my skin had my breath increasing, and desire forming in the pit of my stomach. His eyes were burning their bright colour of silver, as his nose flared with every sharp, ragged intake of air he took. This man was indeed otherworldly. Moving my gaze to his lips, I noticed something sharp poking between the plump pink flesh.Carefully reaching up a hand, I found myself gently tracing the hard object. A small growl fell from Gabriel's lips at the contact, his eyes closing at the pressure my finger gave. Biting my bottom lip, I pulled away. "Is that your... canine teeth?"Nodding, Gabriel's eyes slowly opened. As he gazed down at me, I watched his eyes flash brightly. "We need to stop before I mark you as my own." His voice was deep, al
The Chosen Thirty Two
Flames lit the path along the forest floor, casting haunting shapes all around me. My feet ached with every stone and twig they trampled over, but something in me burned with fire with every step I took close to our destination. The flickering of the stars above, with the black moon, set the tone for the night. Changes were happening. Those around me could sense it too, as their eyes seemed to anxiously gaze around at the trees.Growls filled the air around me, and some of the pack in their beast forms walked alongside us. I felt stronger than usual with them around. It was as if I had drunk an elixir from the heavens that granted me power. My body hummed with every growl that fell from my people's lips, pushing me to go through with my plans.Entering the large clearing, I noticed many people had gathered. Formed in a circle were lit torches and standing in the middle was Gabriel and a member of the council. Surrounding the ring was every werewolf from the compound, even little child
The Chosen Thirty Three
The further I walked into the forest, the more I noticed a foul smell emitting from the trees and the soil the roots connected to. Every tree I passed smelt of rotting flesh and mould. It was a smell I had only ever smelt once in Matthew's father's shop and when my mother had shown up in front of me. It was as if the area was filled with dead animals, the bodies waiting to decompose back into the earth. With each step I took, I felt bile rise into my throat, as swallowing slowly became harder."You've made it easy for me, Anna." Came Ailee's comment. "I thought I'd have to kidnap you..." She said. Her voice was low, as her head moved from side to side as if her eyes were watching the forest around us. "The cursed ones were willing to crash your little ceremony to take you away... so thank you for making it easier for us."Glaring at the back of her head, I wanted nothing more than to hit her. The urge to cause her harm outweighed the want to run back to Gabriel. Lifting my head higher
