"SHE'S YOUR MATE!" Olivia screamed happily for her friend, "w-what, when, how, what. OMG you're going to shift either today or tomorrow" She states, baffled."When I picked her up to carry her here I felt it, the mate bond clicked into place but I don't know what to do, she's been through so much." Jake said scared."Can you please tell me what you say?" He pleaded. "I can't, sorry Jake. I promised Lydia and I feel that she should be the one to tell you and you should also be with her at all times right now, especially since she's close to changing. She will tell you when it's necessary, just give her time because she's been through a lot." Olivia said sadly but confidentially at the same time."Okay, thanks Olivia. I really did need this talk" he says thankfully hugging Olivia and saying bye before making his way to Lydia's room.Walking out to the front of the hospital, I was surprised when I saw Cameron still here but then jealous when I say Taylor sitting next to him, her hand on

( Yvonne’s POV )A little relaxation is perfect. Just me, a punching bag, and some music. It's kind of been hard to let off steam lately. Connor's been over protective, even more so than usual, and I just need a little me time. Good old Yvonne time.I get into a good rhythm, just moving and working my muscles. It feels like ages since I've worked out, and that's odd for me.While practicing my roundhouse, I begin to think of my family. I want to know how they're all doing. I know they're all fine, but I want to know how their day is. How the pack is doing. Despite being a part of my own little pack, I still care for my old pack, very deeply. They are family, andI just want to know they're all safe.The music stops and I stand up straight. "What did that punching bag ever do to you?" Connor asks, being funny."It flirted with my mate. I had to teach it a lesson." He laughs and walks over to me."You know, it's been a minute since we went toe to toe. Would you like to take a swing at me

( Charlotte’s POV )"Where did you get that?" I curiously ask Maddox.He takes another swig of alcohol, ignoring my previous question. "Maddox, why are you drinking this early in the morning?"He looks at me with a wide smile. He's a mess."Can't I enjoy my life?" Maddox says, slurring. "I’m not going to be the same anymore!" He growls.Then he throws his empty bottle at the wall. I wince at the loud crash. Damn these werewolf senses.I then hear his silent cries. "I don't want to forget." He wipes his tears. "I don't want this life anymore." "Maddie, you're drunk." I take the other bottles placed at the coffee table, and throw them in the trash."Stop drinking," I grabbed the new bottle from his hands. "Get up you lazy ass. We're going outside.""Outside?" He smiles widely, but then it falls."We're not supposed to go outside. Your parents said it would be safer if we stayed here."I would honestly risk my life just to make you forget one night; I thought."We didn't listen to them

( Yvonne’s POV )Connor and I both look at each other as the door quietly opens. I can smell Lily, and her mate. "They may be in their rooms." Lily says in almost a whisper. She's shy, even around her mate. Connor stands and takes my hand. I place my book on the end table beside the couch and take his outstretched hand.We walk out of the sitting room to see Lily looking up to Desmond. Yes, up. He isn't as tall as Connor, but because Lily is so short he's still way taller than her."That's fine." He says, and I almost feel bad to disrupt. Key word, almost, she's messed up perfect Connor and I moments before, so I clear my throat. It's been a couple of hours since I last saw her, and I know that mark wasn't there when I left her. "Oh my goodness." I ran to her, my speed rivaling Connor's. My hands gently grip her face, tilting her head to let me see it. Once I know I'm right, I let go and cross my arms while smirking. "Well, it seems like you've had a very productive last couple of ho

It took the girls a total of 2.5 hours to pack everything and move them to the new room. When they were taking the boxes both Selena and Olivia thought about how the hallway seemed familiar but they couldn't quite put their finger on why.Not dwelling on the thought, they climbed into Olivia's car and drove off to the mall."Before I started packing my room I booked all us in for a hair and nail appointment because we honestly need it. But I booked it for 3pm so it's the last thing we will do and it's only 10:30 am so I think we should go and look at furniture & other things to decorate Lydia's room first, that way we can have it delivered to the dorm room while weare still shopping. Is that cool?" Olivia asked as theymade their way into the huge mall.Once she had gotten an okay from them, she lead the way to the furniture store where both Olivia and Selena helped Lydia pick out things to put in her room but it didn't last long. 30 minutes tops because Lydia said she didn't need mu
