Chapter: Chapter 61When twenty-three-year-old Konya Evans arrived at the offices of Standard Management Services in Cross Roads, the first man she met was Denver Tracey. She knew at once that he had affected her in some way. “Hi, I’m Konya Evans,” she introduced herself to the tall man. She judged his height to be about six feet, and he was about twenty-eight years of age. She hoped that he wasn’t married. She had to catch herself, such thoughts. He was dark in complexion, but very handsome, she had to admit. He had a low haircut and was clean shaven. It was early, about eight o’clock in the morning and the building seemed empty.“I’m here as a senior accounting clerk and relief telephone operator.”“I’m Denver Tracey and you’re the new employee, Peter told me about.”She nodded. She had done the interview for this job from the middle of January and here she was just landing it in February. “I’m going to get some breakfast at the canteen, won’t you come along?” “I don’t think so, I hardly know anyth

Chapter: Chapter 60Diana :My heart skipped a beat when I caught sight of Damian standing at the doorway. I wasn't sure how long he was standing there, but his expression was dark, almost unrecognizable. His arms were crossed against his chest, and he was breathing heavily. I'm sure he was upset that I invited Holden in our home without telling him.He gently placed Troy back in his crib and whispered, "I love you, don't forget it."Damian was about to step in the room, but he could read my expression from where I was standing and held back.He trusted me to allow this.Holden sighed heavily as he looked to Troy one last time, "Thank you for giving me a reason to live..."I nodded my head to Holden, then to Damian who looked like he was ready to unleash his beast. He was in shock just as me, but he was more on edge then anything else. Ever since becoming a father he had grown into a paranoid mate and Alpha. No one could come close to the babies without him knowing about it, and for him to stand by the

Chapter: Chapter 59Diana: My limps tingled from the adrenaline now coursing through my body. My heart raced, my eyes widened, my breathing turned rampant, and my body froze.He was kneeling down where his gravestone was. He looked like an entirely different person. A rough stubble covered his face, his hair was longer, and tied in a low bun. His clothes resembled a traveling vagrant; loose, with large tactical pockets, an army jacket and black biking boots.He looked rough but his heart was still beating strong.I was speechless.He stood up and watched me, eyes trailing me up and down. "Your looking good."His voice caused me to tremble more, almost like I was caught up in a snowstorm.He took a step towards me, his hands were holding steady in the air to show he wasn't a threat, but honestly, I didn't know what to think of him anymore."You died...I killed you." My throat was tightening up, and tears began to fill my eyes. I had no words for him, I couldn't believe it. I let him go, I forgave him, a

Chapter: Chapter 58Diana "Diana.""Diana.""DIANA!"His screams.It was the same screams from the night before. I couldn't get them out of my head.I gasped for air, but I couldn't breathe.My throat was so tight, and no amount of oxygen could get in no matter how hard I tried."Ah!" My hands were holding my chest steady as I whipped myself straight from my bed. I patted onto my chest frantically. I was breathing, I wasn't paralyzed... I was...I was...I was home..."Di! What's wrong?" Damian bolted up from the covers, blanketing me with his bare arms."Oh..." I looked over to him, his eyes were heavy, but his body was pulsating from the adrenaline, "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to wake you.""No, don't be sorry," He pulled me in tighter, "Why are you so cold? Are you sure your ok? Never be sorry for waking me up."I watched the covered window, "What time is it?" My feet almost reached to the floor, but Damian immediately pulled me back into bed."It's ok Di, they're sleeping. Besides, you need to rest."

Chapter: Chapter 57Damian:Holden stood silently since his apology. I couldn't respond, hell, I wasn't sure how to reply to it. I was torn. I hated him, but at the same time, my mother always taught me to forgive, but how could I forgive the monster that practically ripped my soul in half?It was an awkward elevator ride that felt like an eternity. Holden stood beside me, and both of us were looking forward at the plain steel door, anxiously waiting for the elevator to arrive to the main floor.He fidgeted his hands anxiously as the numbers ticked down. "Leave the red headed bitch to me, get to Diana first," he muttered under his breath.I annoyingly rolled my eyes in his direction. "I think I know what I'm doing..."He smirked, "Is that how you talk to your pack?""You think this is a good time to be making jokes?!""As my father would say, 'a good joke goes along way before the slaughter'.""Wasn't it you, doing the slaughtering? Jokes come easy when you're the winning side."He scoffed and nodded his

Chapter: Chapter 56Blackness.Time was intangible.That's all there was.I was wondering in space, aimlessly walking around in nothingness.Was this the afterlife? Was my soul in limbo? Was this really my fate in the end?Her voice was still there, but how could that be? Do I still have a connection to the real world?"I'll love you forever, in this world, and the next. You can rest now, we'll be ok.""We'll be ok.""We'll be ok.""We'll be ok."No, No, No. They won't be ok...They'll never be ok. Diana will never be safe, nor my children as long as those bastards were still breathing. They went against nature. They are not werewolf, but a manifestation of pure evil, allowing jealously, greed, and power to consume their minds. Of course we all can fall victim to our desires, but to turn against your family, and your pack, goes against what a werewolf was.Loyalty was a rarity these days and I was sick and tired of it.The darkness was brief, and also a curious end. I thought this would be different, or m

Chapter: Chapter 40"Cecily Turner, you are in so much trouble!" I hear Austin's voice shout from the doorway. The whole pack freezes at the sound of his Alpha voice and I can't help but giggle. Ryan and Rick give me looks that mean I've done something stupid."Am I now, Alpha Black?" I call back to him playfully. Suddenly a rush of kids come into the hall, smiling giddily and laughing."We caught him, Luna! We pushed him over and tackled him down!" the small boy from before comes over to me, jumping up and down with excitement. I laugh and lean forward until my face is level with his."Did you tickle him? The Alpha's very ticklish" I ask and the boy shakes his head. But he grins at me knowingly. "Get the water guns from the garden and we'll get the Alpha" the boy rounds up the others and they disappear through the doors again. They are only gone a minute before Austin enters and the pack goes quiet again. His trousers are matted with mud here and there, on his bare chest as well and he looks annoyed. I

Chapter: Chapter 39Fortunately for me, no one comes into the office. Austin and I sit in our own little worlds of work relating to safeguarding of Black Shadow. Looking at us, you'd think we'd had an argument but there is no tension in the room and we keep stealing glances at each other. I can't tell you how long we sit in opposite ends of the room but eventually Rick comes knocking."Hey guys, if you're making out then warn me now" he calls and gets two hearty laughs. Taking that as a signal, he comes into the room and almost hits me with the door. "Jeez- sorry, C. What are you doing behind the door?" he asks, eyeing me up from my comfortable position."It helps me work" I shrug."Aus, your mate is weird" he says breezily, looking to Austin casually. I scoff and roll my eyes."Tell me something I don't know" Austin mutters and I growl at him. Rude bastard. "Training starting?" Rick nods and Austin stands. "I'll be right there" Rick leaves the door slightly ajar and Austin comes over to me, crouching do

Chapter: Chapter 38Cecily's POV"My mom was from Silver Moon" I think out loud, trying to join the dots. "Dad's going to flip" I put a hand to my head, almost as if it'll help the thought surface. Surprisingly it does. I freeze, eyes closing as I sigh. "He's my mom's youngest brother. Alex Jones is my uncle""What?" at least five say it at the same time."I didn't see that one coming" David is the only male that didn't say 'what'."How?" Trish asks, shaking her head disbelieving."My mom was the daughter of Silver Moon's Alpha when my Dad became Alpha of Silverstone or one of two. When her older brother became Alpha, Dad had been Alpha for two years. They'd known each other since they were pups but Dad had never met Mom while they were growing up. Silver Moon held a party to celebrate him being Alpha and Dad met Mom. She moved to Silverstone and lived there for two years. Her older brother found his mate but she was killed by Red Blood in an attack, along with their unborn child" I explain, the whole si

Chapter: Chapter 37Cecily's P.O.VI wake up feeling the best I have in a long time. The only pain I feel is between my legs but that's expected. Not even my back or burn hurts. But we didn't put cream on my back so why does it feel fine?Memories of last night fill my head as I stare at the ceiling. Heated moments of passion make my cheeks blush, thinly controlled desire makes me smile a little and the feeling of being mated to Austin fills me with joy. I don't know where the primal instincts came from but I had a feeling it had something to do with my wolf needing her mate. I look to Austin but he's still sleeping soundlessly, arm lightly draped over my side while the other is underneath my head. It's the morning now; we slept through the whole afternoon and night. We had both been struggling to sleep without each other. I get up, slowly untangling his limbs from mine. I make it to the bathroom, taking my underwear with me. I look in the mirror and I find a surprise staring back at me. My back has clea

Chapter: Chapter 36I wake up with my arms empty and the bed cold. She's not been there for a while. I sigh, rubbing my eyes as I turn to my back. I slowly sit up and find Cecily curled up on the couch with only her clothes to cover her. I shake my head with a deep sigh, not sure whether to admire her stubbornness or feel annoyed that she'd managed to trick me.She only stayed long enough for me to sleep before moving away. It was smart on her part but annoying all the same.This continues for the remainder of the week. Eight days in total Cecily remains mute and distant. I try so hard to stay awake enough to stop her moving away but I can never do it. I am mentally drained and having her near only makes me succumb easier and quicker. We spend the day in the bedroom- me trying to get her to talk and eat the food that someone keeps leaving at the doorway. But she refuses every time.She gets a little skinnier, her skin paler and her eyes lose their glow. I beg, plead and ask her to give me something- a sm

Chapter: Chapter 35I wake up to sound of whimpering. Instantly on the alert, I shoot up and look around the whole room. There's nothing around suggesting a danger, the sun flickering through the blinds. I'd slept the whole night on the couch.Cecily is whimpering on the bed, her hand rubbing the mark on her neck in her sleep. I rush over and grasp her wrist to stop her hurting herself. The mark makes my blood boil but it has purple lines extending out from it, the black lines of the eye dark and taunting at me. The second I touch her, she gasps and pulls away with her eyes wide."Hey, it's just me" I calm her quietly as she shuffles away from me. "I was just stopping you from hurting yourself" Cecily's eyes dart around the room frantically before landing on me again. She frowns at me and bites her lip. I sigh and drop my hands. "Are you feeling better?"All I get is a shrug."Please, Cecily. Give me something. A smile or a simple yes" I plead with her but I can see the self-hatred she is feeling. It sud
