#Chapter281PLAN OF ACTION“Where are we?” I questioned, glancing over at Brody, “Are we still in Devon?”I was laid on my front on the bed. Brody was sitting at a desk opposite the bed, scribbling something on a piece of paper. He’s planning our great escape. Since telling me yesterday he was getting me out of here, he’s been working out a way to get out of here.“No, we’re in Los Angeles.” He remarked, still writing.“California?” I blurted, “you took me out of England?”He tensed as his head jerked in my direction, “no, not me. I-”I raised my hand, shaking my head, “I didn’t mean you.”I huffed, dropping my head onto my arms. I’m miles away from home. No wonder my family hasn’t been able to track me, but knowing this gives me more motivation to actually leave and let them know I’m okay.“So, what’s the plan of action? When are we getting out of here?” I inquired, laying my head on a side on my arms and glancing at Brody.“Once I know that, I’ll let you

#Chapter283DESIRESBrody halted with his forehead rested against mine. His eyes were screwed, he dragged in quick shaky breaths, and I could feel his body trembling.“Alora,” he whispered breathless. “We can’t.”I nodded and lifted my legs and held on to his shoulders to remove myself from him. I know he’s right, I know we can’t, but it doesn’t stop the sinking feeling settling in the pit of my stomach.His hands went straight to my waist, holding me against him, and sighed.“I want to, believe me, I really want to.”I averted my eyes from him and sucked in a breath. He curled his finger under my chin and raised my head gently.“Alora, if we kissed, it could have gone further. Your bond with Luca has formed, he would know, he would feel it,” he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and then exhaled slowly. “I won’t risk your life.”“I know, I understand. I’m so-”Our heads whipped round to the door as someone tried to open it. I glanced at Brody with a pani

#Chapter285PLAN INTO ACTIONI pulled on the hoodie that Brody tossed me and smiled at him. He told me to choose some of his clothes, because it’s going to get cold. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that when I get my wolf back, all my senses and everything that comes with being a werewolf will come back. I won’t feel the cold, but it was a nice gesture and I appreciate the thought.“I’m going to bring Callie with us,” Brody hesitated as he shoved clothes into his duffel bag, “I can’t leave her here with them.”“Of course, I wouldn’t expect you to leave her here.” I replied. “How old is she?”“She’s five.” He answered.I smiled, “aw, my brothers are her age. She’ll have someone to play with.”He stared at me, wide eyed and mouth open slightly. I chuckled at his reaction and shook my head.“Corbon and I aren’t the only hybrids,” I explained. “When I told you about my family, I may have left out that my younger brothers are hybrids too, oh and my cousin, but he

#Chapter287IT'S ON MEOnce we parted ways, with Callie sitting on my back, we started in the direction Brody told us to go. Brody put some clothes in Callie’s backpack for when I needed to shift. I gave all control to Allie, she’s stealthier than me and faster.We crept down the hallways. Allie kept her guard up, listening for any sounds, but it was eerily silent, like no one was around. I know it’s only early, but I expected some to be around.I could see the double doors we had to go through just ahead of us. I sighed out in relief when I noticed a sign on the door saying ‘push’. I won’t have to let Callie down now to pull open the door, she can stay safely on my back.As we got nearer the door, I noticed two figures behind the door. Allie slowed down, a small growl slipped out when we stopped completely beside the door. A small whimper came from Callie, and she clung tighter onto my fur.Allie lowered our body to the ground enough for Callie to climb off. I needed

#Chapter289ADVENTUREI opened my eyes slowly, blinking a few times. I flexed my fingers, feeling the plush cushions of the sofa.“Brody, she’s awake,” Callie whispered.I turned my head and smiled weakly at Broke as he kneeled at my side. He returned the smile, before sighing heavily and pushing his fingers through his hair.“What happened?” I questioned.I remember finding Brody, feeling weak, and then passing out. I tried reaching Allie, I can still sense her and hear her softly snoring. Whatever we did must have taken it out of her.“You healed me, Alora.” He answered. “Did you know you had healing powers?”I raised my brows at him.“No, I didn’t know I had any powers. There hasn’t ever been a hybrid before, so who knows what else I could have.” I shrugged. “My parents told me I could possess some powers, but it was never certain.”I grabbed hold of the back of the sofa and pulled myself up. I swung my legs off the sofa and slouched back into the seat.
