Chapter 290 Where did that come from? “Sorry”. I sighed. “What time did you get up this morning p> “Around nine”. I lied. I had been up with the birds. I tried to get back to sleep but I couldn’t. “Leah p> “Half 5”. I chewed my bottom lip. “But

Chapter 289 I wasn’t sure if I was relieved or disappointed. I always wanted kids but not right now and yet I couldn’t stop the little feeling of sadness in the pit of my stomach. I guess in my head I thought the test was going to be positive. “I

Chapter 288 I sighed. We were friends, no, we were family. Jack was Jake’s best friend and Beta. Why were people so against a helping hand? “I don’t want your money Lacey but if it makes you feel better you can pay me ten dollars a month”. I didn’t need

Chapter 287 The house was quiet. I didn’t wake till around lunch time. The smell of crispy bacon making my mouth water. I was starving. Pushing the covers off I grabbed my dressing gown and pulled it around my shoulders. I didn’t feel any better. I wasn’t sick just sleepy.

Chapter 286 I watched him. I wasn’t sure the run worked. He still seemed tense, and his mood wasn’t any better than before. Unless something else has happened. “I’m going to lock up and then shower. You ready to go up?”. He asked. “Has something happened?”. I asked. “No, why?”.

Chapter 285 Jake wasn’t home yet. I was sat in the living room with Alanna. My idea didn’t go as planned. Lacey got upset and bailed well she went home. “She’s not having the best time of it just now”. Alanna spoke. I think I made things worse. I offered

Chapter 284 This wasn’t good. I didn’t need for him to lose his head or his temper over something we had no control over. We couldn’t always be together. If Tommy didn’t get me last night, he would have found another way. “Jake I’m okay I’m safe p> “But p>

Chapter 283 Turns out the guys weren’t doing much. Jake had lit the fire pit out back and they were all sat round the decking drinking beer and talking. I grabbed a slice of pizza before sitting down beside him. He wrapped his arm around my waist before kissing the

Chapter 282 This is exactly what I needed. They weren’t just my friends they were family, and I was lucky to have them. I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed a soft kiss on his lips. “I love you p> “I love you too”. His arms tightened around

Chapter 281 I had been awake for hours. Lying in bed staring at the ceiling. I kept playing last night over in my head. How did he know where I lived? How long had he been in town? Had he been watching me? My head hurt and I felt sick

Chapter 280 How did he know where I lived? “You should p> A cry fell from my lips as he twisted his hand up in my hair and pulled me closer to him. I could smell the alcohol on his breath, the stench on cigarettes making me feel sick. “His

Chapter 279 The car ride home was quiet. I would sneak glances at him when I knew he wasn’t looking. He had yet to let go of my hand. This wasn’t exactly how I thought tonight was going to end. Tommy was in Texas, and I had yet to find

Chapter 278 A laugh reached my ears and my stomach dropped. It couldn’t be. I swallowed the lump in my throat. He couldn’t be here, not in Texas, not standing behind me. “Maybe she needs to watch where she’s going p> It was, it was Tommy. “She didn’t even move

Chapter 277 Ryan bailed with Abby and Lacey got sick. “Can we do shots?”. Alanna asked. This wasn’t how I expected the night to end up. Alanna and I the last ones standing. I hadn’t heard from Jake all night and I wasn’t sure if that was a good or

Chapter 276 A small chuckle fell from his lips. “You sure are your mother’s daughter. We’re connected Leah, you felt my presence the minute I walked in, didn’t you p> “I don’t know what I felt”. Truth be told I felt safe in his presence. I knew he wouldn’t hurt

Chapter 275 I could hear how fast my heart was beating. I couldn’t look away. I always thought I looked like my mom until now. My mouth became dry as his eyes landed on mine. He smiled and gave me a nod. So, he knew who I was. I didn’t

Chapter 274 She smirked. “You wanted to kick her a*s at the dinner the other night, didn’t you p> “I haven’t felt anger like that before, my wolf was clawing at my skin to get out. I have no idea how I managed to control her p> “Well, it wasn’t

Chapter 273 Breakfast didn’t happen. By the time I got out the shower he had already left. A note stuck to the fridge, something to do with patrolling and changeover but he assured me he would be back for lunch time. I fixed myself some coffee whilst texting back and

Chapter 272 I went inside and made my way into the living room. Jake wasn’t here but I could hear the shower running and music playing from upstairs. I grinned as the thought of joining him entered my mind. We had never showered together before. I kicked my shoes off

Chapter 271 I had to do this. I knew it was time. I couldn’t keep making excuses and putting it off. Meeting with him was going to answer a lot of unanswered questions. I would finally know where I came from. “Go for your run and when you come back,
