New Blood

Need

 ALEX

I sat with my back against my bedroom door, staring at the opposing wall. Nothing had gone my way lately.

First, I lost Blue to Jake. Then a slayer started following me around. After that, Jake broke Blue’s heart. Now the girl I love was broken.

I pulled my knees up to my chest. There is no way in hell that I could get Blue tangled up in my own mess. I don’t want her to be put in danger by the slayer. I knew slayers would stop at nothing to kill me, even if it meant harming a human in the process. Blue is my weakness, I know that. I have to somehow protect her without pulling her further in.

How do I do that?

I’m not same walking around outdoors.

Blue isn’t safe without someone capable as her guard 24/7.

Blue and I together is a bigger target.

I can’t be her guard. I need someone who I can trust.

Rex.

He’s the only option. 165 pounds of pure older brother wolf rage. If I had to leave Blue in someone else’s hands, it would be his.

He can protect her when I’m not there.

I looked up at my wall, my mind set. Blue can’t get hurt because of me.

I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.

So, in the meantime, there’s only one thing to do to ensure her safety.

I have to kill the Slayer.

JAKE

I sat in the corner of my room, staring at the same four walls, texting the same girl.

She blocked my number.

I kept going anyway.

I hadn’t eaten in three days and my body was slowly weakening. James and Matt were in charge of the pack right now. I shook as I tried to text her again.

“Jake, please eat something.” Jubilee begged. I shook my head and typed out another message.

I’m slowly killing myself, I realized.

My wolf howled in pain. He felt the rejection that Blue was giving us. His pain was worse than mine. He lost part of himself when we lost her.

I lost part of myself too.

Blue, I need you back.
