BlueMy head was banging before I even opened my eyes. The drink that Bree had given me was something else. I remember feeling deliriously happy the moment it had hit the back of my throat. I remembered Jaxons annoyed face. But as my eyes slowly opened, I find myself staring up at a familiar blue ceiling.“How did I get here?” I mutter to myself“You were wasted last night.” Jaxon’s lazy voice comes from next to me.Slowly turning my head, I see him laid on my bed, wearing nothing but his trunks. My stomach ties up in knots immediately.I look down to see a baggy tee and joggers and breathe a sigh of relief. Then it hit me, that this wasn’t what I was wearing yesterday.“What happened?” I mutter, frantically climbing off the bed.“Well, from what I can gather, you had a new drink that actually affects wolves.”“I know that.” I snap. “What happened here? Why am I in different clothes? Why the fuck were you sleeping in my bed?”He sits up, putting his hands up in front him, “Blue, calm
JaxonNothing I did or said could jolt her out of her shock. She just sat there, staring into space. It didn’t even look as if she was thinking about anything. She doesn’t blink, her eyebrows don’t even twitch, she just stares, almost statue like.Giving in, I call my brother. Somehow, he always seemed to get her to talk.“Are you coming home yet? You’ve had her to yourself long enough!” He snaps when he answers.“I need you to come to the flat!”“What the fuck have you done?”“I have done nothing, but Bree, she’s dead?”“The human? What the fuck did you do, Jaxon?”“Nothing, I swear. The cops were here a little while ago. Blue has to go and identify her in the next few hours, but she’s in some kind of shock and I can’t snap her out of it.”“So you need my help?”I roll my eyes and mutter yes through gritted teeth. As much as I hated to admit it, he had a knack of getting people to talk.“I will be there as quickly as I can.”“Don’t tell father.” I mutter as he hangs up the phone.Tur
Xander“You can’t be sure!” Jaxon mutters as we load up the car with Blue’s belongings. “I know you don’t particularly care for our sister, but do you really think she would stoop so low?”“I know what I can smell. Her scent is all over the human. I glanced at the other car where Blue was still staring out of the opposite window. “Maybe it’s best if we don't say anything to her yet.”My brother nods his head in agreement. But an agreement from him didn’t necessarily mean he would stick to it. He chose what suited him best and if it screwed others over, he didn’t care.“I will speak to Cece.”“And say what, Jaxon?”“I will figure it out.”“You mean, you will let her sweet talk you like she always does.”“She doesn’t!” He grits his teeth, half snarling.“You don’t see what I do.” He screws his face up at me. “Anyone would think she was mated to you.”“Don’t be so fucking disgusting, Xander. She is our sister.”I stare at him for a moment. Wondering why she could always convince him of h
BlueOphelia was waiting in my room for me. She quickly smoothes down her red hair as she smiles at me. “I’m really sorry about your friend.”“Thanks,” I murmur. It was still a lot for me to process. I blamed myself. If I had convinced the twins to reject me, Bree would still be alive.Ophelia's green eyes are staring at me as she loosely braids her hair. “Do you know who did it?”“No.”“Humans can be so mean to each other.”“It wasn’t…” I pause for a brief second, wondering if I should say anything. “The twins think it was a Lycan,”“Shit!” She throws a hand over her mouth. Her green eyes wide as she stares at me. “Sorry, I shouldn’t cuss, that’s rude of me.”“Trust me, I’ve heard worse.”“What are you going to do?”“What can I do? Alpha Cyrus probably won’t care. I mean, she was human.”“Alpha Cyrus isn’t as bad as how people make him sound. He will consider things.”“Even human problems?”She gestures to herself. “Remember, I don’t even know what I am yet and he still allowed me to
Xander“Spill!”“What?” He tries to pretend that he doesn't know what I'm talking about.“Don’t try and bullshit me Jaxon. She wasn’t asking you where her things were. What was she asking you?”“You really want to know?”“She is our mate, so yes. I would like to know.”“She thinks you killed Bree.”My mouth drops open, “Me?” I ask, horrified.“Come on Xander, you can tell me if you did it. We both know that you were not particularly fond of Bree.”“I already told you that Cecelia’s scent was all over Bree’s body.”“And we both know that you don’t exactly get along with our sister.”“You think I’m setting her up? Jaxon, I didn’t fucking do it.” He stares at me with a blank face. “Look, we both want her, right! And soon enough we will have to fight one another for her. If I had killed Bree, it would just push her more in your direction. And I have no intention of doing that. I’m guessing you agreed with her?”“I neither agreed or disagreed. I just said it wasn’t Cece’s style.”“Fucking
JaxonI hear my sister's screams from below and charge out of my room. Hurrying down the stairs, I see Cece backing out of the office. Her hands in front of her as she begs for something to stop. A very large blue wolf steps out, snarling at her. It’s odd coloured eyes glued to Cece.“Blue?” The word comes out as no more than a whisper. How could this be her? It wasn’t even a full moon yet.The wolf prowls towards Cece, hungry for the kill.“Cece, run!” I had no idea what Blue was capable of. I had never seen a wolf as big as her. Nor had I seen a blue wolf.“I can't,” Cece cries back. She was just as focussed on the wolf, afraid to look away.Blue hadn’t even acknowledged me. She was locked on her target and nothing else seemed to matter. They move across the foyer, their feet moving in time with one another. Keeping the same steady rhythm. Was Blue playing a game with her?Somehow, I already knew that Cece wasn’t going to make it out of this alive.Spotting my father who was hoveri
Blue.Panic hits me as I open my eyes. I had killed Cece. I had killed the Alpha’s daughter. A quick glance down and I realise that I’m still naked. Someone had put me to bed, someone had seen all the scars. There’s a small knock at the door.“Just a minute.” I dive into the closet. Quickly finding my sweatpants and a hoodie. “Come in.” I mutter as I tug the hoodie down over my small frame. Making sure that everything was covered.Ophelia stands in the doorway. Her green eyes wide as she looks at me. “You’re awake.”I try to ignore what has happened. Maybe she didn’t know. She wasn’t there, at least I think she wasn’t. I don’t really remember. I never could remember everything when she broke free.“How long was I out for?” I quietly ask“Half a day.” She mutters.I sigh as I push back the curtains. Half a day, it had taken me half a day to recover.I spot the moon high up in the sky, it was almost full. Only a few days and I would be shifting again.“Jaxon will be up shortly.” “Jax
Xander It had taken a lot to convince my brother that wolfsbane would be our only option for now. We could not have Blue’s wolf killing the entire pack. She beams at us as we tell her she can have some. But she didn’t seem so keen on the idea of learning to control her wolf. If that was even possible. Yet somehow, Jaxon believed it could be done. Our father had said it himself, she is uncontrollable. She is the ultimate weapon and I didn’t think he was wrong. Jaxon tells her to remain in her room until we return. “We will lock the door so no one can get in.” “You’re locking me in?” She frowns at him “Just until we are back. We won’t be gone long.” He reassures her. But he knew as well as I did, finding wolfsbane wasn’t exactly easy. Wolves tend to stay away from it and wolfsbane never really bothered us Lycans. He pulls the door shut as we leave, slipping the key into the lock and sighs. “It’s only for a little while.” I remind him. “But we need to do this for her.” “I know
