Sam tried to cheer Jessica up when he saw the smug expression on her face, but she was determined to stay that way.He waved his hands as if he couldn't care less and said, "You're torn between a rock and whatever they call it.Jessica yawned, adding "and a rock."He nodded in a silly way that made Jessica smile, "Yeah, that.". Even when he wasn't trying, the guy had a natural sense of humor.So, what are you going to do? he asked, his face displaying concern."I have no idea. She posed the question, "What do you think?" but she already knew the response."You are aware that my lending advice is poor. Just do what you think is right, in my opinion. He laughed, and Jessica rolled her eyes. "Whatever that means," he added. She never thought that quote made sense enough."Thanks, a lot like…. You're the most helpful, she moaned-groaned into the pillow she had her face buried in."I'm overjoyed that I could be of assistance. I'll only be a minute, Yvonne asked me to go to the apartment bui
The statement Aria made resounded in Damien’s ear repeatedly.“Sometimes, I wonder what kind of guy you are,” she had said to him yesterday.Damien had wanted to roll Aria’s petite body over to his side, he had wanted to convince her that he had not changed but that he had to become this way, silent and stoic, because the safety of his pack depended on his secrecy.His secrecy would keep the spies among his pack from finding out that he knew about them.His plan was on the night of the full moon, only three days away, all the people in his pack would be gathered for a meeting, the same thing other packs would be doing, all the men and women in the packs were going to take their full wolf form, anyone that did not transform would be captured and killed.That was the best way to fish out the imposters among them.Aria had to understand that, he was not just her mate, but he was the leader of the pack first.She had to understand that as much as he loved her, he had to put his pack first,
Laziness of the sort that weighs down a man's soul pervaded that morning. A man would have preferred to simply fall asleep for a very long time in that kind of weather. In a strange, incomprehensible state of fatigue, Terry rolled up on each side of the bed. He didn't want to get up, the morning was cold, the kind that would make you want to keep being arapped up beneath tour sheets and not care ehy the alarm clock says."I need to get up," he murmured softly into the plush pillow he was buried into, and before he knew it, another 20 minutes had passed. When he saw how ineffective his day was turning out to be, he suddenly shot his eyes open.Once more telling himself, "I need to get up," he felt his bones this time absorbing the force of his words. He felt a childlike kind of power as the laziness started to fade away.He was lying on the bed, looking lifeless, still planning his day when he noticed one of his gym gloves. He stared at it for a fairly lobg time and rolled his eyes awy
Tyson sat in his office feeling a sense of accomplishment.The wolves were gathering together for a full moon celebration in two days.“Are you sure of this?” he asked one of the men he planted among the wolf packs.“Yes sir, the Alpha announced this yesterday” the man said,“That is good then” Tyson stood up rubbing his hands and grinning from ear to ear like a cheshire cat.Tyson felt very satisfied and happy at this moment, he would finally be able to get those wolf men once and for all.“We can move forward with our plans” Tyson said, walking towards the man and giving the man a tight side hug.“What do you want me to do sir?” The man asked sheepishly, feeling intimidated with Tyson’s close proximity to him.“I want you to do what you’ve always done”“What is that sir?” The man asked confused“I want you to pretend, continue to live among them, act like you’re their friend and secretly find out the details of the celebration. How many they are expected to be, the security available
Camille sat in the restaurant for over two hours, wondering if she had been stood up, she tried calling Terry several times, the waiter kept asking her when she would order and Camille sat there confused, she knew Terry wouldn’t just not show up, something had to be wrong, she tried driving around the area, hoping to find him.When she got home, she felt awfully disappointed, she just wanted to sit in her room in the darkness.Aria noticed Camille’s mood and went to her room to check on her.“Hey” she said stepping in, Camille was laying down on her bed, staring at the ceiling.“Hey” Camille said in a monotone voice, “You seem awfully bright today, what’s wrong?” Aria asked sitting down on Camille’s bed and stroking her hair.“I’m just so disappointed and confused” Camille revealed loving the feeling of Aria’s hand massaging her head, which ached so much because she was filled with so many thoughts.“What happened, you seemed so excited when you left, did you get stood up?”“Yeah” Ca
Camille was not undeterred by the police officer, even though she was disappointed, she wasn’t surprised, she did not know Terry well enough anyway maybe this was how he acted, but part of her knew that Terry was not that kind of person, even though people would generally tell her that she was terrible judge of character, that look at how her mate turned out, but that wasn’t her bad judgment , it was the moon goddess’ bad judgment.She trusted Terry, almost the same way she trusted Aria and Aria had given her almost no reason to trust her, especially with her past, but Camille saw behind all the bad and ugly that seemed to cloud Aria, she saw behind Aria’s recurring nightmares, her terrible family and the lies she had told Damien, she saw someone who needed help and she gave her help. So why shouldn’t she give the same chance to Terry, who had done nothing to make her doubt him.In Terry she saw someone who was lonely, just like her, someone she could save, someone she could help, som
Aria was in a trance, in her mind.In her dream, there were white lights fluttering around her, like little fairies.She was lying on the soft warm grass and there were pretty flowers around her.The lights seemed to nudge her awake.She woke up and saw a silver haired little girl , who looked to be about nine, sitting down by a very clear lake.She stood up and checked her body, wondering where Damien was and why everywhere looked different.She walked closer to her wondering why a little girl was sitting alone.The girl looked up at her and Aria gasped, jumping back in surprise, the girl had the same image she had when she was her age, the only difference was that the girl had silver hair.The girl stood up from the lake and smiled at her.“You’re so pretty” the girl smiled at her, reaching up to touch Aria’s face. Aria lowered herself so that the girl could reach her face.“Who are you?” Aria asked, the girl who looked confused.“I live here” the girl answered, still confused.“Whe
When Aria walked down the stairs the next afternoon, she could feel everyone’s eyes on her.She had healed, astronomically fast for such a dangerous wound, it was spectacular, it was a miracle but it was also weird, she wondered if everyone else thought so.If they did then that was just great, she just couldn’t live her life without standing out, from the crowd, first it was her being a twin, then it was her white wolf and now she had really fast healing.A wolf could heal in two weeks max especially if it was a very serious injury like a gunshot near a vital organ.And here she was healing in a day.Just spectacular, she thought sarcastically.When she got down, she was met with instant concern.In Spite of the fact that Aria took her time dressing up, she wore a blue and a red crop top, precisely to emphasize that her wound had healed up completely. It had to, it always had to be ause she had learned to be able to out up with a lot since a very young age. They did not seem to noti
