Hearing Alpha Jacobs mindlink got me fired up. I was ready for this. This dickhead had been pissing me off since we had arrived here. The way he had spoken to Lola and her family was unforgivable. He was no Alpha. He should be punished for the way he runs his pack. That is not the actions of an Alpha. I am impressed in Manuel for keeping his cool. Though I can only imagine the internal battle he must be fighting with his wolf to stop him coming forward, as I know Rey will be desperate to come forward to attack the Alpha for the things he has been saying about Lola. As for Mateo, well, he is funny as fuck, but I swear he was trying to get himself or us killed. When you listen to how he speaks and how Gabe speaks, there is no denying where Gabe gets his sense of humour from. It was almost like having Gabe here with us when he spoke up, but I still think he probably should have kept his mouth shut in that moment. Pissing of a psychotic Alpha when he is already enraged is proba

I was impressed with Manuel’s bravery at suggesting we just attack while they weren’t expecting it, while they had their back to us. It probably gave us our best chance, and meant any back up hadn’t got here yet. As soon as Alpha nodded, we all knew what was about to come. I just hoped it went our way and we didn’t lose anyone. In a flurry of confusion and bodies, we moved forward. I could hear as bones were adjusting and cracking into our wolf forms around me as we moved. Many years of practice allowed us to be quick in our shifting and able to do this while moving, so we were already fast on our way to where the group of Crimson Night men stood. Lola run now, while we are distracting them, hunni. I link, unsure if Manny had given her the signal to go or not, but now seemed the best time. She did exactly what I said while we blocked the view of the exit of the room, so the group of the men had no clue. I hope this meant she has a good chance of getting to safe

I had come back from another run trying to clear my head and let Aspen let off some steam. He was beyond pissed with me right now. Which I know was only right. I had walked away from our mate. Though, to be fair, she had done it to me first. Ok, I sound like a kid. Though, as I have said before, I don’t think I ever grew up, not sure I ever will. And right now I feel like shit, so if I want to act like a fucking kid I will act like a kid. Aspen is going to have to suck it up for now, I guess. I had struggled to sleep when I eventually got to bed, tossing and turning, and then just giving up before heading to the spare room and battering the hell out of my punching bag for a while. I heard noise outside, and considering the time and the fact it was pitch dark out, it drew me to the window. Only to see Manuel, Jake and the others chatting as they loaded cars and climbed in. I assumed on their way to travel to the airport to set off to head down to Lola’s pack to meet with her f

I swear my Uncle was sent from hell to torture me! Not like I could go look for my mate when he suggests me going to look for her could result in everyone dying, is there?! And he fucking knew it. I was desperate to turn this pack upside down in search for Lola, but what Uncle Mateo had said was true, we were at risk if we stayed, and there were far more of them than there were of us. If I went looking for her with no plan and my mind let loose I was putting everyone at danger. Dammit, I hate it when he was right..... Though he had been trained for interrogation and suchlike when he was a warrior. I do wonder if some of his bluntness and lack of filter was partly due to that sometimes. He certainly had a way of getting his point across, to get what he wanted. That was a skill in itself, one he used to his benefit. And to the benefit of the pack on many occasions. Usually it impresses me, but right now, I do not appreciate it being used against me. Dick. I can’t believe

I had got a good distance away from the pack border and stupidly thought I was safe. I had got toward the edge of the forest, Nori running at her fastest I think I have ever known her run. Maybe she knew what was at stake. I loved running with her, the speed she can go is impressive, and feeling the air rushing through her fur, and seeing things through her eyes. She is in her element running through the trees, be it in the sunshine, or in the moonlight. But as she approached the edges of the trees, I knew it was time for me to shift back to my human form, dropping the bag of clothes she had in her mouth to allow me to get dressed. All planned and pre-prepared beforehand.The guys at Midnight Forest had thought of everything, though I have to say, I am glad about that or I would have been walking around town naked, as I hadn’t thought about that in the rush of shifting and leaving when all hell had kicked off at the packhouse, to be honest. My main concern was to get out as quickly
