-Josie~
Bullshit, absolute bullshit.
Bang...miss.
Bang...miss again.
Bang, bang, bang.
The bullets were landing on the target but not hitting dead on the bullseye, which is only what I expected of myself. The anger rushing through my veins making my aim off.
Standing alone in the meadow, I let my head roll backwards...trying to calm that rising anger within me. They moved the conversation into a mind-link, completely shutting me out.
I know why they did, they didn't want Knox to hear what they had to say to each other...about me. But it still hurts nonetheless, still makes me feel left out...even to this day. They did it because of him...the broody eye holder.
Argh...why is he even here. Why is he getting into my business. Who the hell is he....
First he is there at the breakfast table sitting next to George, then he is invading my personal space at the hospital. The place nobody comes to visit me, my tranquil spot...my peace.
The place where I am not the alpha's daughter but just Josie, training under a doctor,
Steadying my inner self, using deep breathes to find my centre again, I let my body relax... let that feeling of knowing I could do this, that I've got this wash over me.
I had one bullet left...I was in such a hurry to get away from them that I didn't even bring the holdall. I just took the 9mm gun from the safe in the basement and placed it in the back of my leggings.
His eyes were on me, I could feel them as he noticed the gun...his jaw tensing as I stood back up. He might not be used to training with guns, but that's all I had.
Deep dark broody eyes that make my lower core tingle, a need that I've never felt before. Not even with George.
The sun was starting to weaken in the sky, the long day coming to an end. I didn't usually come out here this late, the night time sky always leaving me at a disadvantage. If I stayed out here any longer then I'd struggle to see the target. Bang...a direct hit. That's better, I feel better now. More focused again.
As soon as I place the gun's safety back on, Lobo comes running towards me into the meadow clearing. Bending over, I give my trusted companion a scratch behind an ear, which he laps up.
"Who's a silly house guest...who's getting into my business...yes that's right.." I giggle as Lobo drops to the floor to reveal his belly, wanting more tickles. I feel my phone buzz in my front pocket, these leggings didn't leave a lot of room but I could still fit my phone and gun, which was all I needed.
A message from Maya pings up on my phone, shit I was meant to call her after I finished work but I lost track of time thanks to the emergency drill and then coming home to find Jaxon couldn't even wait a day of being home to screw me over.
Just as I start to type out a reply, to get all the details of last night, Lobo pounces up off the ground...his eyes darting towards the treeline.novelbin
A growl emits from him as his back arches up and his paws start to claw at the meadow's ground. His teeth flash just as I hear movement myself in the treelines...my heart stopping as my eyes squint in the direction of a possible threat. "What is it boy, what can you see?" I whisper, reaching for the gun in my back waistband. It was empty, but whoever was approaching didn't know that.
I clasp it tightly in my hands, my training all coming to this very moment. I lift the gun up, taking aim towards the treeline when who should appear but my own brother...Jaxon.
"Woah...let's not get violent now shall we." He walks out of the treeline with his hands held high, an amused smirk upon his face.
Sure, these weren't silver bullets but they would certainly put him out of action for a day.
"What are you doing here?" I grunt, lowering my gun but my other defence weapon still growling, his teeth snarling in warning.
