Chapter 22: Understand
Slamming the car into park, Jack took deep breaths through his nose, trying to calm himself down so that he could talk to Everly without yelling at her. He had his finger on the locking mechanism, making sure she didn’t get out of his car before he wanted her to.
If he’d been even a few seconds later… it would’ve been all over with. He’d hesitated to drop his siblings and Chase off at home before coming back to check on her but thought he’d made himself clear enough to her earlier that day that she wouldn’t do anything stupid.He’d been wrong. So very wrong.She was just sitting next to him, her still-human heart beating in her chest. She was scared, and at the moment, it wasn’t of the monsters in the woods. It was of him.Well, if that’s what it took….“What the actual hell did you think you were doing?” he said, not caring anymore that he sounded like a brute.“WhatRelated chapters

The nerve of that asshole!What the hell could he possibly be thinking? First, he picked her up and carried her to his car, and then he locked her inside so that she couldn’t get out. When he finally released her, he sat in her driveway like a freaking stalker!Seriously, Jack Grey was messed up in the head!It probably had been him in the woods—somehow. Or maybe he put his friends up to it just to trick her into having to get into his car.God, he needed some serious mental help.Still fuming about Jack’s crazy behavior, Everly went about making dinner. She decided to make meatloaf. It would be the easiest thing to take her aggression out on. She pounded the meat, crackers, herbs, and ketchup together in a bowl until it couldn’t take anymore before putting it in the oven, washing her hands, and setting the timer.Toby seemed concerned. He was watching her like he thought she was crazy, too.Maybe she was. But

“Dad!” Everly’s heart was banging in her chest as she turned to see her dad standing by the attic stairs, the angry look on his face not nearly as frightening as the terror of being snuck up on. “You scared the crap out of me.”“What are you doing up here, Ev?” he asked, coming over to where she was and taking her mom’s camera out of her hands. He put it into the box and closed the lid.“I was just… looking for Mom’s pictures,” she said. “Why aren’t they hanging up anymore?”He didn’t answer her. “I would really appreciate it if you didn’t go through the boxes up here, okay?” It was clear he was still mad, but at least he wasn’t yelling.Everly wasn’t sure she was going to let him be mad about this anyway. He didn’t have any more reason to be mad about her looking in the boxes than she had to be mad at him for not telling he
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 25: Night Watch
Three giant wolves stood in the forest surrounding Everly’s home. It was nearly one in the morning, and even though there’d been no sign of danger, they would be there for another two hours, until the next patrol came on duty.Jack shifted his weight on his massive paws, trying to stay on full alert. He’d already been there for about five hours. He’d decided to take a longer shift than the others because it had been his idea. Besides, as much as the others were concerned about Everly, she was of the utmost importance to him.Across the driveway and behind her house, Chase was stationed. Jack wouldn’t be too surprised if his friend hadn’t nodded off. He’d only been out here for a couple of hours. It was nice of him to volunteer.It was nice of everyone to volunteer who had done so. Alyson was in the parklands, about three hundred yards north of the house. She’d been there a long time, too, insisting on taking a double shi

Of all of the days for her German teacher to be absent! Everly sat in her chair, frustrated, as the substitute passed out some worksheets for them to practice common nouns. It would take about five minutes for her to complete this, and then, the teacher said they could work quietly at their seats on something else.Which meant the room would erupt in chatting and laughter in less than ten minutes.Everly’s eyes scanned the room. Was there anyone in here that might be able to translate for her? Was there anyone in here who knew German well enough? She wasn’t sure. But then, she also didn’t know if she wanted anyone to know what her crazy grandmother had shouted about her mother before she was locked up in an asylum.Her eyes landed on Will. He looked tired. For that matter, all of the Greys had looked tired that day. So had the other kids sitting at their table at lunch, except for Fiona. She wondered if something had gone on in their village th

“Jack!”It wasn’t unusual for Will to be shouting at him from across the void, whether they were at school, at home, in the woods, wherever, but there was an urgency in his tone that got Jack’s attention.He’d been on his way to his car. Chase had driven that day, and he’d arranged for his friend to take his brother and sister home so that he could be at the driveway when Everly got off of the bus. Even if he had to drive alongside her, he was making sure she was safe while she walked to her cabin.But there was clearly something wrong. “What?” he called, heading over to meet Will.“Listen, Everly gave me a recording she needs to be translated. She said that it’s something her German grandmother told her dad after her mom disappeared. The fact that her dad remembers it makes me think it might be important.”Jack could hardly believe what he was hearing. “Well, yeah, that does s
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 28: No Touch
Jack realized he was scaring the hell out of Everly, but that was only because he was terrified. “Did he touch you?” “No! No! Let go of me!” Everly shook free of him, and he released her, running a hand through his hair as she walked away from him. “You’re acting crazy, Jack. I don’t belong to you, you know? I can talk to whoever I want to.” “I know that, Everly. I’m sorry. It’s just… you don’t know that guy.” She turned around to look at him. “And I take it that you do?” He nodded, still trying to calm down. He wanted to inspect every inch of her, to make sure she wasn’t hurt. It wouldn’t take much at all for her to fall victim to a Nachtwolf. For that matter, even he could hurt her if he wasn’t extremely careful. It wasn’t just a Nachtwolf that could do it—they were just the only ones who would want to turn her. But accidents could happen. Maybe he should stop picking her up. “Jack, what’s going on?” she seemed calmer. Her he
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 29: Broken
“Everly! Who’s car is that?”Her dad practically knocked the door down, scaring the shit out of her. Even Jack looked a little caught off guard. Clutching her chest, Everly said, “Dad! Seriously—was that necessary? I think you made a hole in the door.”“I was driving through, doing my rounds, and I see a strange car parked outside of my house, I’m gonna be a little excited.”By then, Jack was up, waiting patiently for her dad to start breathing normally again. Behind Jim, Everly heard laughter and figured that had to be his partner. It was too early for her dad to be home otherwise. He really must have been worried.“Sorry, Dad. This is… Jack. Grey. He… is going to help me with some homework.”Again the guy behind her dad was laughing. Jim stepped aside so he could come inside as Jack stepped over to offer her father his hand. “Mr. Harrison, I’m Jack Grey. I

Leaving Everly when she was so confused and upset had been nearly impossible. But the second time Jim came home, Jack noticed his scent before he arrived and knew he needed to get out of there before he caused a family squabble. As it was, he was pretty sure Jim would have a few choice words for his daughter about her having a boy over without asking first.He didn’t actually leave until he saw Jim’s Jeep pull into his normal spot. He’d parked his car down by the end of the driveway and come back, in his human form, to keep an eye on the house. Once Jim was there, he decided to go home and talk to his parents before he came back for his own shift. Right now, Troy, Sam, and Bridge were in the woods near Everly’s home.He didn’t want to leave, but he didn’t have much of a choice. His parents needed to know what Slate had done that day. It was atrocious that he’d be so bold. If Jack could, he’d go find the son of a bitch and
