Quiet. That’s all I hear as I open my eyes. No clinking of the pans from mom cooking, no newspaper shuffling from dad reading and no smells of coffee and bacon greeting me. I suddenly never felt so alone then I do right now. I don’t have Damian to mind-link for comfort. I am sure as hell not reaching out to Holly. I just can’t cope. Suddenly I hear the front door opening and swift steps coming to my door. Before I can even reach, Zach blows the bedroom door open with a shit-eating grin on his face!“Did I startle you?” He asked smugly. He knew he did by the face I have clutched the blankets up to my chin and my eyes were as wide as saucers.“Ass” I snorted as I eyed the bag he brought with him.“I assumed you were going to need some breakfast to start your day and a friendly face. Hurry up buttercup, I will get breakfast set up for you in the kitchen. Don’t take an hour to get ready either. I did not go out o

Damian POVOkay, I didn’t really mean that. Shutting my phone and returning it to my pocket my mind is reeling. She fucking left, she actually left me. I do want her as my beta but I wouldn’t actually rape her. I know I marked Holly too soon. She is so whinny and annoying. No wonder I never really paid any attention to her. Turning I started walking back to the pack house and Holly is trailing behind me crying and fuming. I know what I said hurt her but damn, why can’t she understand this isn’t easy for me. I can feel her anger and I am assuming it is towards me but I know she is jealous of Nina. I do expect her to listen and return in a month. That should be long enough for her to accept this reality and I will tell her I didn’t mean it in a few days. I don’t think she will answer my calls right now anyway. I am hurting too and I said things I didn’t mean but Nina is a very forgiving person so I know she will accept my apology and ta

Well, that was information over load I thought to myself. My head is just about to explode with this information. Ugh, I need a shower. Opening a random door, I first find a closet. It was massive. A size of a standard bedroom, clothes lined three walls with the fourth wall was shelves. Shoes of different styles filled the shelves and a large mirror stood in the corner. There was even a couch in the middle with a vanity beside it and a range of makeup on it. Shutting the door, I chose again and was rewarded with being correct to my relief. It was a huge bathroom with floor to ceiling white tile with a grey marbling through it, a steam shower that ran off a tablet on the wall. The vanity was dark grey with white marbling through it as two sinks sat off to the side. Walking over to the tablet I turned the shower on and turned the steamer on high. Once I was satisfied with choosing a temperature other people would consider scolding, I undressed and slipped into the water. Standing unde

It was mid-day before we reached an area of the Smoky Mountains that we felt was the right place. There was a tiny town about an hour off the highway that was “homey”. The town rented cabins to tourist and since it was in the middle of the mountain side, they attracted a lot of them. We were fortunate enough to get on with two bedrooms for a week stay. We didn’t know how long we would stay here but they offered a discount so we took it and decided to stay. The cabin was built in the last ten years so it was pretty modern. It had a traditional wooden log theme covering every furniture with wolf, moose and bear animal decorative fabrics coating the couch, window curtains and throw pillows. A stone fire place stood to the right and passed the living room was a large kitchen that opened to a smaller balcony. It looked over the hill top and we were at the top of the canopy. Tall American Beech and Yellow Birch trees were scattered with Sugar Maples, Wild Cherry and many other trees cover

Kelly left with them so I decided it was probably time for me to head home as well. I got in my car and started driving home. About half way I got an intense feeling of dread and the next second my car was rolling over and over. Glass was penetrating my skin, the seat belt was digging into my chest and I could smell gas and a very putrid smell. Rouges. Fuck me, is all I could think. I need to get out of this car. Zach isn’t here to help me and I don’t know how many there are! Slowly crawling out, I am keeping my eyes open to see where they are coming from. As I am about half way out, I hear the growls and I see three sets of eyes walking towards me. Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck. Okay well here goes nothing, I guess. Staggering to my feet, I take a second to breath and I let myself play hurt so they think they are at an advantage. They are not big in size and are all different shades of brown is all I can make out when its this dark but the foam from thei
