Chapter 119

JESSICA

I don’t fucking know their plans.

It’s been a day since I’ve bitten Theo and Grayson is still not doing anything except stare out the cabin window like he’s expecting them to come crashing through the trees any minute. My gums ache with the memory of breaking skin, of tasting Theo’s blood.

“Are we not going to find him?”

“You’ve really fucked us this time,” Pierce says, tossing another log onto the fire. The cabin smells like pine and blood and fear. “Rogues don’t last long out here. Not when you’ve pissed off an entire pack.”

I curl deeper into myself, feeling my omega instincts screaming to submit, to apologize, to fix this somehow. But there’s another part–newer, wilder–that wants to snarl back.

“I told you I did not do anything!”

Grayson crosses the room in three strides, grabbing my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. I can feel my pupils dilating. “I fucking told you. Why are you choosing to believe in him rather than me?”

My wolf rises to the surface, hackles raised. I shove him away with strength I didn’t know I had, my nails extending into claws that leave thin red lines across his chest.

“Don’t touch me like that,” I growl, the sound rumbling from deep in my throat. “Theo cornered me. What was I supposed to do?

Roll over?”

Pierce’s eyes widen as he watches us.

“You’re not telling me something Jess,” Grayson snarls, his eyes flashing gold. “I know something is wrong with you–”

“So you chained me here? Stupid.”

Those little remarks made my brother very proud of me./

“Tell me what happened in those woods,” Grayson demands, circling me like I’m prey. “Your scent changed. You reek of something… different.”
