Recovery (JESSYES P.O.V.)

I watched him lunge at her and knock her across the room. I heard the answering scream and I shivered and I tried to run but I couldn’t get my legs to move fast enough. Somehow I made it to the mouth of the cave. Jerrod and the others looked at me I didn’t have enough strength to be surprised at how big they were. Jerrod saw Reed’s necklace he huffed. “ you have to hurry I think hes getting ready to kill her HURRY PLEASE!!!!” I screamed at them.
I couldn’t muster up enough energy to follow them back to the safe room. I slumped against the wall and clutched the necklace close to my heart. I had to believe that she would be alright. I didn’t want to lose her. Reed was the love of my life I didn’t have anyone else to live for.
I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up I was in the bed room on the second floor of the lake house. I walked down the stairs expecting to see Reed in the kitchen but instead I saw one of the pack members. She was about the same size as me “hi” I whispered to her “sorry I really don’t remember your name”I smiled shyly and she laughed a light hearted laugh “ I'm Darya and last time we met you were on the verge of breaking down.”
I looked down embarrassed she walked over and whispered in my ear “don’t worry she will be just fine she just has a few broken ribs and a crack in her skull.” I flinched and the next thing she said left me breathless “ I know about you two” and then she walked away. I stood
there dumbfounded and looked where she walked off. I ran off towards her and I grabbed her arm “who else knows? Dose Jerrod?” she smiled and shook her head no I sighed and felt relived
“I-is she okay?” I stuttered. It took her a minute to answer me and then nodded. I felt relived “where-“ she cut me off “third floor second room from the bathroom” she smiled and pointed I took off with all my strength to push me up the stairs. When I got to her room I hesitated by the door I took a deep breath and opened the door. My breath hitched in my throat when I saw her she was all bandaged up and the tears started streaming.
Reed heard me walk into the room. She woke up and sighed “don’t cry please I'm fine I swear I'm fine” but when she sighed she winced then she tried to sit up “please, don’t I will come to you” as I said that I walked toward her bed and placed a hand on her cheek and she held my hand there.
”I think its time to tell everybody about us im tired of hiding it Darya already knows about us.” She looked at me shocked.”she what? Knows how?” I shrugged “don’t know but if she knows then how long till everyone else knows?” she just shook her head she moved over and motioned for me to lay with her. when my head hit the pillow she snuggled close to me. I love feeling her warm breath on my neck. I rolled over to look into her eyes she look free and happy. We smiled and looked into each others eyes like that for an immeasurable amount of time.

The truth (REEDS P.O.V)

“Jerrod, we need to talk” I said in a small voice Jessye sat at my side holding my hand where Jerrod couldn’t see. Jerrod walked in eyeing us suspiciacly. “jerrod, please sit.” Jessye asked in a clear untrobuled voice. “whats going on Reed?” Jerrod asked his voice layered with tenson. Jessye took a deep breath and sighed “OK, Jerrod I need you not to freak out alright please promise me that.”
“I Love your sister” Jessye said in a rushed breath and the words kind of blended together. He had a really dumb look on his face. His eyes were wide mouth hanging open like a moron. I was the first to break the akward silence “Well, Jerrod I have to tell you I love her too. Its not just a one way road here. I really didn’t mean for this to happen really I never wanted to hurt you.
“When I finished talking Jerrod looked between us and his eyes rested on Jessye “if you EVER break her heart you will awnswer to me” was all he said. He turned and left. We looked at eachother we both had the ‘that was easy’ look. It has been a bout four months to the day and although im sad to say that Zane Lukas got away I’m with the one person who makes me happy and that’s my Jessye. We have recently gone public and I am thinking about proposing to her in the next couple months.
The morning I wanted to propse I went to talk to Jerrod. “jerrod, I have been with Jessye for almost three years now and I want her to be mine so Im going to ask her to marry me.” “ well, I say go for it kid I will be happy for you. Take her to the lake house in hawaii. That would the perfect place to propse to her.” he said that with a huge grin on his face. I got nervous now “ jerrod I wanted to give her mom’s ring.” His breathing stopped and he slowly turned to face me. “I totally understand if you want me to buy her a new one-”he put his hand over my mouth. “I want her to have moms ring I was thinking the same thing I guess she loves you. You had better take care of her If you don’t I will kick your ass” I laughed at him and said “you don’t have to worry big brother I will love and protcect her with my life. ” Jerrod sighed he knew I was right. Nothing can hurt Jessye while im around. “so its settled I will take her to the lake house in Hawaii in two weeks and I will propose to her there. I called her after I talked to Jerrod “hey do you want to go to Hawaii with me for two weeks?” she thought for a minute. “yeah I will go I just need to get a bathing suit though before we go” she laughed and sighed at the memory

The pack. Again. (Jessyes P.O.V)

I sat there trying to remember the pack and what they looked like in wolf form. The only time I saw them in wolf form was when I had to say goodbye to Jerrod and I was so terrified I couldn’t concentrate on them. I only remember they were huge and pretty. I know that since Reed and Jerrod are alphas second they are the second biggest wolves. Reed says that the alphas are the biggest so they can show domince over other wolves. She laughed at that she said she wasn’t scared of Alec and Aminta then she got serious and said that she did respect them. I wanted to ask her about them and if they would be okay with the alphas if I knew their secret. I decided not to ask because Reed sighed and wraped her arms around my waist and rested her chin on my shoulder, “I love you babe.” I smiled and responded with “love you more” she shook her head and said “ love its time to go im going to go shift do you want to wait here or walk with me?” I weighed the options and said “I will walk with you.” She knew what I was going to say before I said it. “Alright well lets get going then.” We walked out the door and towards the woods. Reed started taking her shirt off. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. Reeds body was perfect. When we got to the protective forest. She started taking the rest of her clothes off. My breathing stopped. Reed turned and smiled in my direction. “Step back.” She ordered. As the words left her mouth her eyes went from blue-green to a scary flat black and her beautiful body was trembling. Then fur exploded from her skin and instead of the wonderful woman standing in front of me it was a beautiful black and white wolf. I got this feeling in the pit of my stomach and I realized that it was pride. Reed was mine all mine and I don’t ever have to leave her side. She looked at me and I knew it was time to go. I walked towards her and my heart was pounding. No matter how many times I see Reed in this form I get nervous. I know she would never hurt me, but still, she is fudgen HUGE. I climbed on her back and settled into the dip between her shoulders grabbed two fist fulls of fur and she took off towards the pack. The nervousness never left I would never tell her but the pack scares me. I know she would come to my rescue if they even thought about hurting me but, still it was scary they are so much bigger then me. We arrived about ten minutes later. Every one was there some were wolves and others human. The only ones who approached us were Alec and Aminta they were in wolf form. Reed sighed and bowed to show respect. Then there was a few moments of silent communication between them. Reed sighed again and folded down to the ground, she then looked at me. “ Do you want me to get down now?” I guessed. She nodded and I complied. I watched her walk away I felt nervous because it looks like Alec and Aminta were glaring at me. I shrank back under there gaze. I turned to the forest just in time to
