Chapter: Chapter 35*Fiona*“Mate.” The words rang through my head. Cyrus was my mate. I felt that I had finally let go of a breath I had been holding since his arrival, realising only now that I had even been holding my breath. “Why didn’t you say anything?” I asked. I wasn’t angry, at the fact he hadn’t told me, just curious about why he didn’t. “It was the hardest thing I have ever done,” he said embracing me tightly like he was afraid I was going to run away. “I didn’t know how you would react. After what happened with David I didn’t want to put you in the same situation.” I thought about it for a moment. Would I have believed Cryus had he told me? At first, no. The past couple of days I felt like I knew, but refused to fully accept it for fear I was wrong. “I think you made the right choice,” I said after reflecting on it.Cyrus lifted my head to his and pulled me into a kiss. With the mate bond now in place, it was more electric than ever. Pleasurable sparks danced across my lips a

Chapter: Chapter 34*Fiona*“Where are we going?” Cyrus asked as he followed me into the forest behind the packhouse garden. I could feel he was on edge as we wandered into the forest “It’s vulnerable out here.”“There are patrols out” I reassured him “They will know where I am and keep watch.” Cyrus had tripled check all of our security measures, so he knew how many wolves would be out on guard. Still, he didn’t look convinced.“You’ll see.” I tried reassuring him again. “I have a tradition on the eve of my birthday. Something I want to show you.” I sushed him when he asked what we were going to do. “We need to be quiet, to get in the right headspace,”

Chapter: Chapter 33*Fiona*I woke up the next morning to Cryus watching me closely.“Good morning,” he said drawing me closer for a cuddle. I was enveloped in his scent and Skylah immediately started egging me on, sending graphic images of what she would like to do to Cyrus. I ignored her as best as I could, there was too much to do today.“Cyrus we need to get ready,” I whined, “the next pack will be here soon.” I started to feel my anxiety come forward. It was only one day before my birthday. I wondered what that meant for Cyrus and myself. I pushed the feeling down, I would worry about that tomorrow. Today I had to think about the other pack arriving. Hopefully, everything with the new packs arr

Chapter: Chapter 32*Fiona*My head was reeling at all the information that was flying at me. I had never thought much about my mother’s family. They had never been mentioned growing up. Now that I knew they were family, it was obvious why they had looked so familiar. Every time I looked at Alpha Thomas or Luna Shae I would see traits that reminded me of my mother. At first, it was the eyes, but as the evening wore on I also realised there was more. Shae carried herself in the same way my mother had, light as a feather. I saw my brother's smouldering looks in Thomas’ eyes. Shae’s voice was even light like my mother's when she comforted me. I felt pain for her loss, but from that pain, something new was growing. I felt a cautious excitement to get to know this new family, hoping that they might hel

Chapter: Chapter 31*Fiona*Standing on the steps of the packhouse waiting to greet the new pack, reminded me how little time had passed since I had greeted Cyrus in the same fashion. I remember how nervous I had been and how much I had wanted to prove myself. While I still felt like I was trying to prove myself, I was more assured and less nervous, this time around. I hoped that this time things wouldn't be turned upside down, as I was still processing all the changes that had happened in the past few days. I felt like a different person, with Cyrus, more reckless. I couldn't bring myself to see it as a bad thing."Who are we dealing with?" Cyrus asked taking a place next to me.

Chapter: Chapter 30*Cyrus*When I awoke I was struck by a momentary panic, by the lack of Fiona's presence in bed. I nearly jumped out of bed, when I saw her sitting quietly on a couch engrossed in a book. I took a breath. When did I become so anxious? Normally I was fairly level headed, but ever since the threats against Fiona, everything seemed to be a threat. Fiona was my weakness, but I couldn't bring myself to see it as a bad thing.I watched her sitting on the couch reading. Her legs were propped up on one of the arms, making them look longer as her shorts rode up, nearly invisible under her large tee shirt. I could hear Blaze making some suggestions on how we should start the morning. I had been hesitant with Fiona so far, holding back. She was pushing me though, as she become more comfortable exploring. I would hold back for her until she was ready.&
