I felt fine as I sat and finished eating. Propping my legs up on the desk, I just watched Waylon and Ky take over this meeting. He was sexy as hell but I knew he was pissed off at me. Part of me didn’t care. I was doing what I needed to do. Did I feel a little guilty for doing it…. I guess maybe a little. I needed to protect him though. “Thank you all for helping in this matter. We will be in touch.” Waylon said as my eyes started to drop. “We will be in touch.” “Same.” A few didn’t even say bye the they were all gone off the wall. “Guys, give us the room.” Waylon said firmly. Frowning, I just crossing my arms over themselves. That was until it pulled the IV so I stopped. Ky and Axel didn’t even look at me as they just walked out of the office. “Jessica is coming to remove the IV.” Waylon said to me as he turned to face me. “Oh good.” I said and stared right back. “Do you have anything to say for yourself?” Waylon kept his moody look to him. “Nope.” A knock on the door sav

“So, she needs to earn your respect, huh?” Waylon’s voice came from around the corner. All three of them had the decency to bow their heads as they allowed Waylon to enter the kitchen. His arms were folded over his chest and his voice was deadly calm. It even sent shivers down my spine but I found it pleasurable. “A-alpha.” One of the guys stuttered. “Answer her question. Damian, Scott and Mark right? You three are new to the warrior team. Interesting you are questioning my decision about the right person to be Luna.” None of them answered Waylon. Instead, they kept their faces downward. “Sounds like they need a reminder what it means to be a warrior.” I said as I popped a blackberry in my mouth. All three of them stiffened. I wasn’t sure exactly what Waylon did to make people achieve in order to become a warrior but it’s never an easy thing. “Interesting. Have them redo warrior training?” Waylon repeated. “Can she even do it?” One of the guys had the balls to ask. The other tw

“Shit!” Axel’s knees buckled as he let go of my arms, Taking advantage of his position. My arms wrapped around his neck from behind. Keeping my body away from his was the only way this was going to work. His hands were on the ground. Moving my body as far away as possible, I tried to put as much distance between us. Unfortunately, Axel grabbed under my arms and lifted me up. He flipped me over, forcing me to let go or rip my arms from their sockets. Landing on my feet, Axel had went to a knee. Since his back was towards me, I sprung into action. Jumping up, I landed on his back and wrapped my legs around his neck. Trying to put him into another submission role. Axel was able to get a hand under my leg before I started squeezing so he pried my legs open. Axel grabbed my hip and pulled me around to face him. “Fucking worm.” He muttered as he tried to put both of my wrist in one of his hands. As much as I tried to fight against him, he moved his legs and placed it over my hips. Not so

“Yes.” “You and I both know what kind of sadistic person James was. It was either kill or be killed. Women get beaten, raped and tortured in his pack if they don’t do as James asked. I’m assuming she had her fair share of hard lessons before she just did what he asked. Did she ever come out and tell me about it, no. Do I think she ever did it willingly, no. Do I think she did them, yes. I have no doubt she carries that with her everyday.” “Does Axel know?” Ky asked.“I’m not sure. When she found out who I really was, she turned her back to me. It was only after she learned the truth that she realized she was wrong. By that time, damage was done. We haven’t had much chance to catch up. Jessica and the boys really did a number on our lives.” “Do you regret it?” Ky asked.“Regret what?” Or like, which part.“Finding Waylon?” “I was living on borrowed time anyway. Thomas had pictures of us in his closet, he knew where I was this whole time. Not sure if he knew who Nova was though.” “

Hailey POV I was about to lose hope when something reached out and grabbed my foot. The girliest scream escaped my mouth, letting all the air out from my legs. My body was being pulled further under the water. At one point, I tried to kick but something sharp pierced my ankle. It was only when I started to rise again, that some hope filled my burning lungs. Whatever was holding me, pushed me upward. I listened as the need for air was becoming more and more intense. Once when black spots started clouding my vision did my head break the surface. Air plunged into my lunges as I inhaled deeply. It burned going down. My arm caught a rock’s edge that I clung to. Breathing deeply, I watched as a figure lifted himself out of the water and to the edge. “Ky.” “I told you to swim down!” He chastised me. “No, you did not.” Glaring, I pulled myself up so I was sitting on the ledge too. “Where are we?” “Underground tunnel. It leads to my bedroom. Let’s go.” Ky stood up and without waiting f
