Hayley Blake
I should be strong, impenetrable and brave as I’ve been all my life,
but at that moment, I felt confused and lost.
-Jackson, I want to be alone-I asked in a whisper.
-No.
No? And why not? -I questioned confused, still without the look.
-Many people may have abandoned you, but I won’t-close the
teeth with his speech, he really hoped that I would believe his
sweet words?
-Please don’t be so deluded, Jackson. I wouldn’t be the first person who
promises me this and not the last. It’s always the same bullshit
I’ll never leave you, I spoke to a bitter debauchery.
"None of them were worthy of us."
Almost missed a laugh with my wolf, she knew how to me
make you laugh at times like that.
I confess that I was speechless to answer you, did not exist
words enough at that moment, know what attitudes are more
important. But I can assure you one thing, Hayley Blake, you
will never go through all this suffering again. No
I’ll leave no one hurt, never commented again and I laugh without humor
none. It was something hard to believe, a sweet illusion that was lost
in the harsh reality.
-This is just silly.
Your hand held mine again and your touch turned my
stomach. Jackson was so close, his eyes so intense and
true.
-You’re no longer alone, wild wolf. You can curse me and try
move as far away as you want, you managed to mess with me, Hayley-blinked
for me. -And there’s nothing I want more than to keep her in
security.
"Why can’t I fall for him?"
We’d been so hurt and hurt, it was so hard to hope
after all we suffered. I wanted to believe in Jackson
truly, but something was holding me back.
That would be a dream too good to be real, I wouldn’t have a life
happy that one day I dreamed, not without sacrifices to be made.
-I don’t need to protect myself I reacted defensively, the idea that he me
control and become submissive to him made me sick and tried to get away
of his touch, but Jackson kept holding me.
How many times will I say I don’t want to change her or turn her into
a docile wolf? It’s this savagery in you that fascinates me so much.
My heart beat so fast I wondered if Jackson was the
listening.
It’s hard for me to mutter in a low tone, deviating from your beautiful
eyes.
-I can’t imagine how much you suffered and I know that your wounds
will be healed so easily. We lost people we loved in that
time. -He hesitated before continuing-My father was killed in a
those rebellions and my mother could not bear to live without him, she... took
your own life.
Something inside me shattered, gasped in surprise and shook his hand
in response.
I’m sorry about your parents.
-Thank you-smiled sideways, forced. -What I’m trying to say is that
we all suffer with losses, but we shouldn’t let it take over
of us. I understand that you were betrayed by the one you loved, but that’s not
It means that everyone is equal, Hayley. There are good people in
world, there are hundreds of wolves who would give their lives for you.
-For me? For what?
We’re the last of the line, Hayley started These people will get you
follow. You can help them, you and what you stand for.
And what exactly would that be?
That hope is not dead. After all that has passed, you
deserves to be happy, just need to detach from the past, free yourself. Be free.
Let me get this straight I got confused and a little bit angry You want
that I magically forget all my bad memories of one
time for another? Want me to forget everything I’ve been through and trust in
anyone?
By the Moon! Don’t put words in my mouth said immediately, me making it even more confusing-I’m trying to say you need
overcome. I know you will feel a void in your chest for a long time, but you
have people who care about you, who will do everything to you
help. You need to get rid of this guilt-spoke hesitantly and I balanced the
head.
-I can’t-confess lowering my gaze, feeling a huge weight
on my shoulders.
-You need to insist and never give up-your thumb has traced the back of
my hand tenderly. I sighed trembling, not knowing how to react
before that demonstration of affection. -I will help whenever
need.
-Why would you help me? I asked with frown.
-Cause you’re worth it, Hayley, I’m not afraid or I’ll run to
away from you I lowered my head, but Jackson held my chin and
raised my head. I shuddered at the intensity of his eyes
green over me, his skin was warm and so soft.
Involuntarily, my eyes were filled with tears. No one
never told me that fighting for me was worth it, never looked at me
with such affection as Jackson at that time.
I wanted to say something to him, but I was sure if I tried, I wouldn’t
would have the strength to hold back tears.
Did you wonder why I would be different? The answer is that I
know this pain and no one should face it alone. A step from
each time, right? And if something makes you uncomfortable, you tell me and we
we stopped.
-Do you promise? -I asked as a vulnerable child. I did not
understood what was happening to me, one side of me wanted to run away and
back to my town and forget Jackson and all his pack but the
other side wanted to trust Jackson and all his promises but
past still haunted me and was closer than ever.
-I promise-said smiling aside. I could see the sincerity in their
eyes and hoped not to be deceived again.
I lifted my head and supported it on my knees, breathing deeply.
I took a stick and drew a crescent moon on earth, smiling from
side.
The memories were vague in the emptiness of my mind.
If I ask you to leave, will you go? I asked with hope,
I still wanted to be alone.
No! he exclaimed earnestly making me snitch. That man was a well of
stubbornness.
Okay sighed defeated. When this male puts something in
head, there’s no one to take But I won’t come back today for your
house.
What? You won’t be alone in the woods the night brandished
authoritative and I rolled my eyes. I stood up and looked at him with fun.
'Does he really think he owns us? Pathetic!"
I didn’t ask for permission I blinked at him and started walking towards contrary to Jackson’s house. I felt him snitch and start following me,
tried to hold a smile, but it was inevitable. Of course he would follow me,
like a faithful watchdog.
Jackson and I walked for a few hours, we talked, I could
know him a little more. We fight a few times for his stubborn,
but he wasn’t as boring as I imagined.
"You’re bipolar, too, and I don’t complain."
Are you defending him?
"Are you out of your mind?"
I watched Jackson smile as he counted when Madison had her first
boyfriend. Her eyes shone with memories and for a
moment I forgot what had happened to me.
-Said if he hurt her, I’d kill him and hang his head
on a spit and put in the public square spoke and I laughed loudly. I did not
doubted what he was capable of.
How polite I mocked him.
It is here said when we arrived in a cave in the middle of nowhere. The
entrance it had an oval shape and to get in, it was necessary
cross the shallow lake at its entrance. Inside, it was dark and only
the sunlight was shining through a crack in the ceiling. Hayley, I present you
my little paradise on earth opened a wide smile.
Jack, it’s so beautiful I whispered in awe of the beauty of that place.
-I come here when I need a little peace-scratched the back of the neck.
-How many girls have I brought here? Some 1007 Maybe 997-played and he
smiled denying with his head.
-You’re the first person I brought here-said and I laughed.
That would be impossible!
-I’m serious, Jackson. How many? -I wanted to know with my heart
pounding.
-My heart won’t let me lie, you can hear it and take your
own conclusions-said and I arched an eyebrow, deviating
my look at your chest, could hear the calm beats of your
heart and amazingly he was telling the truth.
-Why is it so hard to believe you? -I crossed my arms. -The Supreme
He must have all the wolves at his feet-I affronted him.
Even you? Smiled with malice.
'Well done, you idiot."
-Almost all-smile cynical and turned my attention to the cave.
He could hear the sound of water falling in the background and smiles excited at
realize that I would not return to my current home.
I took off my boots and held them, taking some steps inside
that place so beautiful and as expected the water was cold, cold until
too. I felt a chill in my spine and took a deep breath, wanting
back to dry land. Whimpered a few more steps by
lake.
-Come, we are coming-said Jackson extending his hand. Paralisei
looking at his open hand and seriously thinking about refusing and
to say he didn’t need help.
"Hurry up. He’s waiting, turtle."
I had given him a vote of confidence and thinking about it I held his
hand, I trembled.
His hand was soft and warm as always outside. An electric current
passed through my body with the contact of our skins, something burned
inside me. I shook his hand when he walked back to some
place of that huge cave.
So close to him I could smell his strongest scent and almost sighed,
that sweet smell was so irresistible and I was beginning to love him.
"Do you love him too?"
Who are you talking about?
"Supreme Court asshole, of course."
Is it impossible to love someone in such a short time, has he gone completely insane?
"Are you lying to me, Arabella Labonair?"
Don’t freak out, creature. I don’t love him and neither does he like me, it’s impossible
like me. I’m a monster inside, I’m
cursed to always lose control on the Blood Moon.
"He is also a Pureblood. Jackson also has his crossbow
interior. '
