Chapter 36: The Nightwolves
The door slammed loudly behind him as Slate Bose came inside of his father’s house. He’d just gotten back from the pack healing center, and he couldn’t believe how stupid his dumbass cousin had been.
What in the world had Rider been thinking? Slate had told him he had a plan for the girl. Yet, he’d gone plowing ahead like a damn bull on roller skates, and now, here they were in a whole heap of trouble. If he had actually hurt that girl, Slate was going to go back over there and finish the job the Lightwolves had started and end his stupid cousin.
“Oh, good. You’re here,” his father said as Slate walked inside. His parents’ home was a lot nicer than the one he shared with his cousins, though it was nothing compared to the mansion the Greys lived in. Nightwolves never had it easy compared to their lightwolf counterparts. Everyone always blamed anything bad that happened on the Bose family and their pack, even if it wasn’t their fault. How many times had the high counci

Everly wasn’t surprised that she couldn’t sleep. Not only was this the first time in over four years that she’d gone to bed without Toby next to her, she was too shook up from everything that had happened. She also had about a million questions dancing through her mind, questions she wanted to ask Jack but knew he probably wouldn’t answer for her anyway. His phone was in her palm. A glance at the clock told her that it wasn’t quite midnight. He’d said she could call anytime, but she felt bad calling him that late. Her father was snoring in his bed next door. She had no idea how he could just fall asleep so quickly, but he had been out like always, as if this night had been nothing different than normal. And here she was, wide awake, staring out the window. At least no wolves were howling outside her window. If she called Jack, would her dad hear her talking and come into her room?Everly doubted it. Jim was a pretty sound sleeper, but she thought maybe she
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 38: Confessions and Slip-Ups
The moment Aly’s phone rang, Jack answered it, even though he was exhausted and had almost nodded off several times, sitting there waiting for Everly to call. He didn’t even know for sure that she would, but he had a feeling that she might, especially since she was clearly confused when he’d dropped her off, and she hadn’t had much of a chance to ask him questions.Seeing his own name pop up on his sister’s phone, he rushed to answer. “Hi, Ev,” he said, longing to hear her voice. He tried not to pay too much attention to those feelings. He knew they could only get in the way of his ability to help her, and that’s what he needed to focus on right now. If she truly hadn’t been hurt in the attack tonight, as she claimed, then it was still in her best interest to get as far away from Cook as possible.“Hi, Jack,” she said, her voice just a whisper. He imagined she was trying to keep from waking her dad. &ldq
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 39: The Next Morning
The next morning, Everly got ready for school without saying much of anything to her dad, nor did he really talk to her. She did take the cup of coffee he offered her, even though she knew it would be too strong for her. She needed something to wake her up.It was a chilly morning. A thin veil of frost covered the windshield of the Jeep. Jim used the windshield wipers to chip away at it as Everly sipped the warm, strong coffee in the cup he’d given her. “I’ve got a guy coming to fix the house phone,” Jim told her, once the hole in the frost in the windshield was big enough for him to be able to see out of.“Okay,” Everly said. It came out more of a question than she intended.“I want to make sure you can get me if you need to,” he said. “You can always call the office, and they can get me on the radio.”“Okay,” Everly said again. “Will you be home when the guy comes to put it in
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 40: Not the Conversation He'd Had in Mind
Jack had been so close to asking Everly how she knew that it was Rider that had attacked her, but then Alyson had inserted herself between them, and he’d been forced to let it go.Earlier that morning, he’d confirmed with his dad that Granite had called late the night before, after Jack had gone to bed, to tell him that Brock Bose had told him that it was his nephew, Rider Bose, who had been involved in the attack. Since Everly hadn’t been hurt, according to both Everly and Rider, no punishment had been served to the Nachtwolf pack, but Granite had warned Victor again that if there was a chance that Everly had been infected, she’d have to be taken care of.Sitting in his first period class, Jack wasn’t even pretending to concentrate on what his teacher was saying. His parents had said they’d spend the day talking to the pack elders to see what that might entail. Greta had said there had to be some other alternative to simply destroyi
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 41: Awkward Lunch
Everly felt awful after her conversation with Jack in the hallway, but she felt like she needed to say something. It had been halfway through first period when she realized what she’d said to him the night before, that he knew that she’d spoken to someone in the other pack.Because she’d told him.How could she be so stupid?Now, he was being all cute and kind, trying to look out for her, and all she wanted to do was yell at him and remind him that he’d said he’d destroy her.But would he really do that? She had no idea. But she also didn’t know if she could trust Slate. She wanted to give him the opportunity to tell her what he could find out about her mom, and if she cut him off completely, she wouldn’t be able to do that. Jack wouldn’t be able to understand her reasoning. He’d tell her to just let it go, that they’d find a different way to figure out what had happened to her mom, but it had been
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 42: Just Friends
Sitting down in her chair in choir class, Everly blew out a deep breath and thought about what she needed to do after school. Maybe she could figure out a way to catch a ride to see Toby with Chase. After all, if Jack was intending to drive her to see her dog, that had to mean that Chase had also driven, right? Because Alyson didn’t drive, and Will wasn’t old enough to have his driver’s license. Would it be possible for her to get Alyson to suggest to her brother that he just take his siblings home as always and let her catch a ride with his friend? Wouldn’t that be awkward, too, riding in a vehicle with Chase when she’d hardly ever even spoken to the guy? Maybe Aly could come with her.Even if it did seem weird and stupid, she had to do something. Knowing Jack, he’d probably be waiting for her after school. Maybe his brother and sister would be riding with them. That would make sense. After all, they all lived in the same house. And it was
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 43: How Do You Say Friends in German?
Normally, Everly sat in the same seat in German class every day. It wasn’t as if it was an assigned seat or anything, but she felt like everyone had their favorites. Today, she was tempted to sit by Will. She felt like she owed him an apology.Rather than doing that, though. She dropped her stuff off at her regular seat and then ducked over next to him for a minute. “Hey,” she said, sort of squatting, half bending over next to him.He looked up from his notebook where he’d been doodling and caught her eyes, an unhappy expression in his. “Hey.”“I’m really sorry about what happened at lunch,” she told him. “I started talking before I thought it through.”Will shrugged. “It’s all right. Fionna thinks you and I are a… thing… though.”“I talked to her in the bathroom, and I don’t think she does now.” She gave him a tight-lipped smile, but
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 44: Not Interested
Maura Downey really didn’t know how to give up. Jack didn’t want to be rude to her. She was a nice girl, and she was pretty. He’d gone out with her a few times. But… there was always something lacking between them. He just didn’t find her that interesting. With the winter formal coming up in about a month, he understood what she was doing now, trying to get his attention, batting her eyelashes at him, lingering next to him in the hallway, all of that stuff.Jack wasn’t interested, though, and even though he was polite and laughed at her jokes, he was really hoping the recent rumors about him and Everly would be enough to dissuade Maura from pursuing him.Apparently… not.“Well, Maura,” he said as they walked out of class together. “I’ve got to go.”“Oh, are you in a rush?” she asked. “I thought maybe we could go to the dinner and get some fries or something.
