NovelEnglishChapter 0395 "I can't always be what other people need of me." He mutters almost to himself but I hear it. There's a sadness in his voice, something that I wouldn't expect from Jace.
"I get that, but next tstay and tell us... rather than giving us all the cold shoulder." My head whips to the front door as I hear it open, Ezra walking out first, his eyes landing on me.
He moves to the car where he opens the back passenger door before moving to the driver's side to enter and start the engine.
I'm about to walk over to check what is going on when Petra walks out of the door, Mum and Dad walking her out.
In the distance, I see both Jaxon and Knox walking back towards us. Petra moves towards the car, her eyes now ignoringand focuses solely on the vehicle until she stops. Her eyes now moving into my direction.
I hold her gaze for what feels like an eternity. What did they discuss, what did she say....did she see.

My back stiffens and in the distance I can see Knox heading my way, as she moves towards me. Jace turns to faceas she closes the gap on me, his eyebrows furrowing.
"Miss Josie..." She clasps my hands within hers, holding them to her heart... tears building within her eyes.
I can see in my pheripheral vision, Knox's footsteps quicken...Jaxon following a few steps behind.
"I would never...you saved my grandson." She whispers to me, I look over to find both Mum and Dad talking to Ezra through the car. Kieran was never in any real danger, but the sincerity in her eyes is intense.
"I would never betray you. I was with your Mum at the Nightshade Reformed pack, I've seen what she can do...please, believe me. I would die before I betrayed you." Her words takeby such surprise that I am unable to respond to her, my mouth is open but words are not forming. All my body will allowto do is nod.
I can see it in her eyes, she means what she says, she won't betray me. Yet she isn't fazed, isn't disturbed by what she saw.
Why do I have the feeling maybe she already knew about Mum...that perhaps us kids have been in the dark...but not others.
"Petra?" Dad calls out her name, earning a squeal from her as she turns and scurries off to the car. Dad closes her door then the car slowly drives away.
With a satisfied look, Dad walks Mum back towards the house, his eyes falling uponbefore he pushes on the mind-link.
"She won't say a thing, don't worry." "That was weird." Jace comments next to me, forcingto cut the mind-link with Dad. My face must look how I feel.
"So there is something?" He looks towith a pinned look, which is only enhanced by Jaxon's look as he joins us with Knox. "What was that about?" "Seems Josie here is holding out on us?" "Spill.." Jaxon demands curtly.
"1.." "There's nothing to tell." Knox defiantly declares, earning a scoff from Jaxon.
My eyes follow the car driving into the distance. Petra mentioned the Nigthshade Reformed pack...I've never heard of that pack before and what has that got to do with Mum.

"What's...." Jaxon starts before we hear Lobo starting to bark in the distance, near the meadow. His bark completely cutting qui conversation, it was unusual for Lobo to bark....withoutnext to him.
Usually he did it to tell people to back away from me. I take a step forward to fetch him myself when his barking takes on a more aggressive insistent tone. Then I feel it...feel nausea wash over me.
Both Jaxon and Jace turn to look at eachother, both growling. Someone has intruded onto our land.
I have never felt this before, but now that I have the pack link, it feels like someone stepping on my grave! A foreboding sensation roaring my wolf to life. She's pushes through that veil instantly, she hasn't waited to be called by me. Who ever it is, she knows shouldn't be here. Judging by my brother's responses, they feel it too.
I hear a bang, the front door being almost ripped off its hinges as Mum and Dad run out of the alpha house's front door running into the direction of the meadow.
Complete panic takes overas Jaxon and Jace are already running in the sdirection, already running towards danger.
"We are under attack!" Dad growls through the pack link. His voice a om deafening roar that shakes me...'ve never experienced just how powerful he truly is. "All fighters to the meadow....NOW!"
