Chapter 1
I can't believe I have to go back. It's been almost five years. But I can remember leaving like my daughter Taylor Marie's smile. "Why do we have to leave now?" I ask as I look at my best friend and boyfriend Chace. "Because it's the only way to protect Taylor." He replied. "If only he knew the secret we've been hiding." My wolf Alexis stated. "He can't know. No one can, Alexis. You heard what the Moon Goddess said."I explained.
"I know. I know."She defended. "Are you listening to me Jessica?" Chace asked. "What? Yeah I'm listening." I answered. "Just go pack." He demanded. I nodded. Well this is going to suck.
After Packing
I watch my gorgeous daughter play with some toys I have yet to pack up. She's just like her father. With her stubbornness and strong will to finish anything she puts her mind too. Thank goodness she got my looks I don't think it could stand to look at her father at every look. She has long brown curly hair, my green eyes, and a cute button-nose. She's only 4 ½ and is so smart and outgoing. "She gets it from him."Alexis uttered emphasizing him. "I know I hate it too."I replied. "I don't hate it I loathe it. He doesn't deserve to have any part in our Little Butterfly's life." She shouted. I just nodded I knew not to say anymore she just needed to get it off her chest.
"Momma, Where we goin?" My Little Butterfly asked batting her big doe eyes. "We are going to my old pack. Remember?" I replied. "Dark Moon Pack?" She questioned. "That right Sweetie." I responded. Her little brow crunched up puzzled. "But why we goin there?" She asked confused. "Ummm… Well we are going to see Grandma and Grandpa." I answered. "She knows you're lying Jess."Alexis informed me. "What?! How?"I thought outraged "She's only 4 ½ she can't know the truth." "She is gifted by the Moon Goddess."She stated. "Why didn't you tell me before?"I questioned. "I just sensed it. I'm not sure what her gift is yet, but she has a strong one."Alexis informed me. I look up to Taylor studying me. "What are you doing, baby?" I asked. Her eyebrow furrows more and her nose crinkles up. "Trying to talk to Lexis." She answers simply. My eyes widen, mouth hung open shocked. Just then she yawned. "Can we go to sleep, Momma?" She asked sleepily. "Um… Sure baby." I say as we walk to her bedroom. With purple and white walls, a big princess bed and matching wardrobe. I tuck her in and kiss her goodnight.
As I walk in the bare living room Chace is lounging on the only available couch. "Hey Babe." He says as I walk in the room. "Hi. When do we leave?" I ask. He looks at me with his grey-blue eyes. "Tomorrow morning at 8am is our flight." He answers. "Ok. Well I'm gonna call it a night we have an early and busy day tomorrow. Night. Love you." I reply. As I bend down to kiss him good night."Night Babe. Love you too." He says as I head to the master bedroom. As I lay in bed I can feel Alexis stirring in my mind, nervous and angry about going to the one place we use to call home. As I close my eyes all I can see is the face of the only person that could and did hurt me. Jacob.
