Torn Between The Alpha and His Bodyguard Text, text, text
*Tatum* I roll over, checking my phone for the hundredth time tonight. It has been four days of radio silence from Artemis. I haven’t been able to bring myself to text him again since the first text, but there is no way he hasn’t thought of texting me and seen it. I mean, it was just a kiss, wasn’t it? It got a little heavy, yes…but is that entirely uncommon when people like each other? My phone dings and I see a text from an unknown number and my heart flutters at the thought that Artemis might just be using a different phone. I swipe over the message, opening it with a giddy smile, only for it to fall from my lips in an instant. –Go to sleep– I furrow my brows –Who is this?-- –Don’t ask stupid questions– I scoff loudly and sit up, already annoyed with this anonymous texter. –How is it stupid a stupid question when this is an unknown number in my phone?-- –Wow, so you really erased every memory of me– I tilt my head, looking up at the open doorway leading to Maverick’s roo
Torn Between The Alpha and His Bodyguard A monster
The high of Artemis’ text response to Clem has officially worn off and in its place is now an anxious energy. Artemis is due back today. In fact, he is probably already back; I remind myself, looking down at my watch.Shit. I push myself further, running harder. Maybe I can outrun the anxiety I have over confronting him. This morning when I laced up my shoes I was a little nervous. But with every passing second, my confidence sways and I realize the text really means nothing. Artemis didn’t send it to me. He sent it to Clem who he was texting all night while still actively ignoring me. It was never meant for my eyes, so why would I assume he meant in a good way? He could have meant it in a ‘yeah, she is’ plus a grimace type way. Or maybe he said it because he didn’t know how else to respond to her bringing me up. It must have been awkward.I pass the fountain in the middle of the woods and choose to go past it. This is the furthest I have ever gone before. But if I found this out her
Torn Between The Alpha and His Bodyguard Something is off...
*Maverick*The odds are not in my favor as I take a hesitant step back, cursing under my breath. Where the hell are these assholes even coming from and why the hell are they not the usual rogues? They die like a rogue but they fight like well-trained warriors. That’s enough to make my wolf and I feel on edge, like something is off. Like there are things we don’t know but should.I’m surrounded, waiting for the attack, yet no one moves, as if they are waiting for the green light from someone. I growl, low in my chest, my patience officially gone as I take the lead, rushing the two rogues ahead of me. Their eyes grow wide, the one on the right ducking intime to miss my tackle as I take down the other. We roll, both of us fighting for the upper hand as we tumble over the jaded rocks. I can feel them slicing into my back and I push myself over once more, landing me on top. There’s no time to give him a moment to breathe, so launch my fist into his face, my knuckles creaking with every bl
Torn Between The Alpha and His Bodyguard Get over it
*Tatum*I see Maverick’s outline, the general size of his imposing figure as I look up at him, unwilling to pull myself out of bed. I killed someone. An actual living, breathing person with a life and friends. I didn’t just kill him; I laid in his entrails and was showered in his blood like some sick fucking right of warrior passage. One I didn’t ask for.“Are you in pain?” He asks softly. I shake my head no. I was fortunate enough to not have any serious injuries, other than a chewed up ankle, the rest of my cuts and bruises have already healed. The healer even took the time to wrap my ankle in some type of leaves with some herbs that have taken my pain away. “Then why the hell are you crying?” Maverick asks. There is an edge to his voice, almost as if he is angry with me, and it only makes my lips quiver as more tears flood down my cheek. These damn emotions, these damn eyes.“I killed someone.” I whisper, guilt sliding up my spine and making me shudder. I can still smell him on m
Torn Between The Alpha and His Bodyguard Out Assholed
“How’d she take it?” Maverick asks, following along behind me down the hallway.“As expected.” I mumble, unable to pull myself out of this grumpiness surrounding me. “So she cried then?” He verifies, and I toss him a glare over my shoulder.“No, she assured me it’s fine and that my safety comes first.” I snark at him before looking back down the hallway and rolling my eyes. “Hmmm.” He hums and the sound irritates my ears, feeding my already sour mood. I whip around to face him, my hands on my hips. “‘Hmm’ what, Maverick?”He slides me a grin. “Wasn’t sure if she was a crier like you or not.” He simply shrugs, as if he didn’t just verbally attack me for the shit I went through yesterday. Does his dickishness know no bounds? My lips twitch into a sneer as my eyes narrow and I open my mouth to say a smart ass comment, but instead I snap it shut. He wants to be an asshole? Fine, I’ll make sure he feels like one. I turn back around, ambling into the kitchen, choosing to ignore his stup
Torn Between The Alpha and His Bodyguard Suspicious
“Is that what you are wearing?” Maverick asks, and I frown at him in the mirror. He sits on the edge of my bed watching, waiting for me to panic or change—again. But not this time. No, I’m damn happy in my insanely soft little navy dress. It hugs my curves in all the right places while not showing so much that I am uncomfortable in it. “Yes.” I answer, smoothing it over my hips. “Now let’s just hope I pass inspection.” I turn and walk past Maverick, looking for my purse and wallet, the same one I haven’t needed once since being here. “I really don’t like the idea of you guys going into town.” He says. “Artemis is fine with it.” “Artemis is a great alpha, but this is my realm and I am telling you, I don’t like it.” “You don’t have to like it.” I turn to face him. “Tatum, there are things going on, things that Alpha Artemis isn’t sharing…” he says, standing and walking over to me. I shoot him a glare, pressing my clenched fist to my hip. “Oh, suddenly your alpha isn’t to be tru
Torn Between The Alpha and His Bodyguard Date crashers
Clem sighs heavily, as though she is embarrassed or disappointed in herself. “I really shouldn’t say anything.” She mumbles, and I give her a pointed look. “Ugh. Fine. I caught her going over the border and talking to someone. Before the first attack.”“What?” I hiss, looking around frantically. “Are you serious? Clem! Artemis has to know, you have to tell him. What if she was meeting with a rogue?”“I hardly think someone with such expensive taste is a rogue or deals with them.” Clem frowns and I shrug. “Who is to say rogues can’t like nice things? The point is, you have to tell Artemis, or someone.” She groans and looks away, nibbling her lower lip. “I can’t.” She insists. “This is the first time I have had any alone time with him. I really like him, Tatum. I don’t want to come off like a jealous girl trying to eliminate the competition….”She has a point. It would definitely look suspiciously like she is trying to eliminate people from the lineup. And without her having establis
Torn Between The Alpha and His Bodyguard Cheesy
*Maverick* I stare at my phone, my thumb hovering over the compose text button. It shouldn’t be this hard to send a simple text, to type in the number and then strategically ask the questions I need to. But it’s the fact that I typed the number with ease that reminds me of who this is. I remember only four numbers by heart. Both my parents, Tatum’s and Jackson. The best friend I have ever had. The same guy who would have left his family behind happily if it meant he could fight by my side. It was always his dream, this life I’m living. If only I could tell him just how much he would have hated it. There is no doubt in my mind that crossing this mental barrier that I put up for emotional protection for myself will mean there is no going back. Once I send this text, Jackson will never let me out of his life again. Or maybe he will when he finds out that the Maverick he used to know is gone, replaced with a broken, darker version. It’s not my choice to send this text, to track down
