(Kaeleigh’s POV)
The next week or so was busy. Chase told me that he wanted me to train with Zack so I could build my self defence up. Luna Elise wanted to spend time teaching me all the Luna duties and a sudden new big deal came up at work between Rose Bower International and us.
I was struggling to fit in the time to go see Jonathan, and part of me suspected that was the plan. I had a feeling that Chase was purposely having my schedule filled up, so I couldn’t see Jonathan. I got that he was just trying to protect me, but it was starting to get overbearing. Even if part of me does think he is right.
(Kaeleigh’s POV)I watched in fear as Brandt’s large blond wolf form stalked slowly towards me. I could feel his eyes burning into me as he barred his teeth and let out a low snarl. I tried to inch slowly backwards, but he saw and growled louder.Everything inside me screamed at me to run, but I knew I wasn’t going to get anywhere. I could feel my ankle throbbing and I could see that it was already beginning to swell slightly. I knew it was going to be a bitch to walk on. I tore my eyes away from the vicious animal who was out for my blood to survey my options.Option one: sit here and wait for him to reach me and rip out my throat. Yeah, pass on that. Option two: jump up and run for the door behind me, hoping that it was unlocked, and that my ankle wasn’t broken and could take my weigh
(Kaeleigh’s POV)I was released from the hospital the next day, with an almost healed leg, but strict orders to rest it for another month before starting back up with training. I was ready to go when Jensen walked into the room.“Hey princess,” he said grinning at me. I looked expectedly behind him.“Where’s Chase?” I asked. I was kinda expecting him to be the one to pick me up.“Sorry Kae,” he said. “He’s in a meeting with the Alpha right now. There’s been some concern that they are trying to sort out.” he picked up my bag with a guarded look on his face. “but don’t worry, princess, I’ll take good care of you.” He wriggled his eyebrows, and I laughed.
(Kaeleigh’s POV)“Who else?” I demanded and Chase sighed..“We don’t know baby,” he answered, “but since we pulled the confirmed families in, we have had almost a hundred pack members leave the territory and denounce the pack.”“A hundred!” I exclaimed.The Beta then turned round and punched the wall, and roared. I jumped, and Chase stood up in front of me. Everyone was on edge and the tension was rising. The Beta rubbed his temple and bent down on the balls of his feet. I had never seen him look so stressed before. I put my hand in Chases. And he relaxed and sat back down.“So for now we need to lockdown,” the Alpha said. “Those o
(Jensen’s POV)“Chase” I glanced at my dad before returning my sight to my friend. The look on his face was raw. It was twisted between pain and fury and even some fear in there. If I could just get to him, then maybe I could calm him down, but I was ready to protect Kaeleigh if it was required. I moved forward to get in front of Kaeleigh. I didn’t know what was wrong with him, but I wasn’t risking it.Then the air shifted and Chase growled at me. I could tell by the way Kaeleigh dropped to the floor and the way she bowed her head in submission that she was devastated and I did everything I could to hold back a growl. Then Chase let out a roar, and I watched in shock as he picked up his father’s desk and threw it across the room. It smashed into the wall in pieces just as Chase stormed out of the room.
(Kaeleigh’s POV)I can’t be here!I just couldn’t be near him, not now! I didn’t know how long I had been crying, not long I knew that, but too long. I sat up from my pathetic self-pity party and saw that everyone was looking at me.“I can’t stay here,” I said, storming up the stairs and onto the top floor, almost bumping straight into the Luna. “I need to go.”“Kaeleigh dear what do you mean?” the Luna started to follow me as I hurried to my room.“If he can’t find me, then he can’t reject me,” I reasoned. A mate bond rejection has to be done face to face and has to be accepted by the rejected for the bond to actually be bro
(Kaeleigh’s POV)I ended up crying myself to sleep. I didn’t know how long it took, but at some point I passed out exhausted from the tears. I had nightmares of Chase chasing me down to throw me away or to kill me.When I woke up the next morning, I was a mess of tangled sheets and sweat. Kierra brought us breakfast from the dining room, so I didn’t have to see anyone. She told me that the Alpha had commanded her to tell him who she was loyal to in the hallway yesterday, and that Ivy had filled her in on why while I was asleep and that she had a meeting with the Alpha and Beta at the detention center this morning.“I don’t believe it,” she said. “Meagan is not a spy,” she was so confident in her conviction. Ivy nodded her agreement, and I agreed, as well. I might not h
(Jensen’s POV)Being trapped in a car with a love sick werewolf who is worried about his mate for over twelve hours was not my idea of fun at all. Chase switched between sitting in tense, brooding silence to angry ranting and back again.“I thought we were going to Cornwall,” Chase snapped at me. I gave him a sideways glance.“We are,” I replied.“Then you are going in the wrong fucking direction,”“Buddy, trust me on this. I know what I am doing.” he was right though. We were heading away from our final destination but it was necessary.Beaumont Academy was one of the most coveted and prestigious magic
(Jensen’s POV)Four hours later, and I was laid in bed with a beautiful naked redhead which moulded against me.“So what is she like?” Isabella asks while she traces shapes with her fingers on my chest.“Who?” I asked, I ran my hand up and down her back slowly, there was a certain spot on the base of her spine where she was extra sensitive and she would shiver when I passed over it, and it made me chuckle to myself.“Kaeleigh,” she said looking at me, “what is she like?” I couldn’t help but smile.“She is fiery and passionate, and she is so much stronger than she gives herself credit for. She feels so fully, whether it’s her own pain or that of othe

(Kaeleigh’s POV)*** Two Weeks Later ***I stood on the stage at the former Dark Moon and now Dark Circle pack territory and looked out across the crowd. I felt warmth rush through me as Chase squeezed my hand beside me as we waited for the crowd to quiet down. The crowd was a mix of werewolves, witches and hybrids, although the latter were massively outnumbered by the first two. The last two weeks had been crazy busy as we worked to create some sort of order in everything.The battle had ended in our favour, but we still had losses. I had been upset to learn from Jensen that Zack’s mate had been expecting and watching as she received the news that she had already felt was heart wrenching. I had been told that the death of her mate had sent her into shock. This wasn’t uncommon, as the separat
(Kaeleigh’s POV)I clung to Adam as I screamed for help. There was blood everywhere, and his eyes were fluttering. Dayna was crying.“Why can’t I do anything?” she screamed. “Adam I mean it, don’t you dare die on me, not when I have just told you I love you.” I looked up at her in shock and she looked at me, tears streaming.“Kaeleigh, tell him he can’t die. We agreed. We are choosing each other as mates. He has to live.” She shook Adam as his eyes closed. “Kaeleigh, order him, please,” I shook my head and looked down at Adam in my arms.“Why did you do something as stupid as that?” I cried at him and his eyelids fluttered open again. He looked up and smiled.
(Asher’s POV)“Well, look what we have here,” I snarled as I walked into the clearing. “If it isn’t my not so loyal Beta.” I had seen Cade just as he had snapped the neck of that imbecile Fischer. As I got closer, I saw him holding his mate. I watched them as he comforted her. He was so gentle and caring. Before her, Cade had been a different sort. He had always been ready for a good time with the supply of Omegas that we kept around and I could pinpoint to the day that he had met his mate. Everything changed. He stopped drinking as much, stopped going out. He disappeared on weekends on private business.I got why. A fated mate is an awful weapon in the wrong hands and my father had taken a dislike to Cade pretty much after his own father had left the pack. If my father had known that Cade had found his mate, he would h
(Zoey’s POV)“I gotta go,” I hissed, watching the blond streaks as they flashed through the woods. “I got a score to settle.” I started walking towards the last place that I saw the bleached blond trash. I could feel Cade’s presence behind me. I wasn’t sure whether he was there to protect me or to protect her at this point.I woke up crying almost every night after reoccurring dreams about what she did. Dreams that repeated over me held in silver chains and her smirking face as she… I shuddered at the thought of it. I had never been so violated before in my life. I still struggled with intimacy with Cade. The irony of the fact that for the first time in almost five years I could be open and not hide my love for my mate and yet I couldn’t stand to be touched by him. Cade had tried to talk to me about w
(Jensen’s POV)“My Hero,” Tatum grinned at me, and I couldn’t help but grin back.“Yeah, well, let’s not need that anymore,” I said as I helped her to a sitting position.“What about Jeremy?” Tatum asked and Elaina called over from where she was sitting next to the unconscious wolf.“He’s gonna be fine. It’ll take some healing, but werewolves do that quickly.” I looked at Tatum, who looked relieved.“Where’s Luke?” Tatum asked, looking around.“Your brother is as silly as you are,” the other witch, who I was unfamiliar with, said, glaring at the entrance to the n
(Tatum’s POV)I rushed into the entrance of the nook where I could see the evidence of magic flying around everywhere. I knew Jade and Luke were close behind. I surveyed the area and saw Chase on the ground next to a big black wolf and a woman with jet black hair. The woman was tending to the wolf as he laid on the floor, panting. At the other end of the nook I could see the redhead witch Isabella and my mum. There was a redheaded man standing between me and them and from the magic he was using, I could tell he was a sorcerer. I glanced at Luke, who nodded and he cast a slow down spell. While he did that, I felt for my new-found powers and sent out energy, or whatever it was, to the surrounding trees asking them for help. I felt the connection and began to bend the trees to my will.Jade appeared as well as Jeremy and I grinned. The sorcerer, on the
(Kaeleigh’s POV)“ATTACK!”I watched as thousands of bodies appeared from the surrounding area, some in human form, some in wolf. They reached the outer edges of the town in a matter of seconds, so they must have been in the immediate area and the woods surrounding. I drew my eyes back to Asher who was watching me with an intense look. He smirked as his eyes found mine and then pulled his shirt to reveal the mark again.I rolled my eyes before closing them and blocking everything and everyone around me out. I envisioned my army of wolves, the symbol of my Alpha power and the reason I would never bow to anyone. I pulled the energy from that power and pulled it in tight. The tension alone was enough to make me feel like I was going to burst. I opened my eyes, knowing that right now they shone g
(Kaeleigh’s POV)Three hours later, a now mobile and newly sealed Cade was sitting on the sofa in the living room with Zoey on his knee and I was inspecting Tatum’s wrist. She and Jensen had emerged from his room a few minutes before and Tatum was jumping around excitedly. They had completed the bond last night and through the night Tatum had completed the transition into a Hybrid, much in the same way as Chase had with me. I looked at the pattern that had formed on her wrist and saw it was an extension of Jensen’s pattern. I smiled. I still didn’t know how everything worked, but I was loving finding out.“Oh, and watch,” Tatum said, suddenly very excited. She turned and looked around and then focused on a dying houseplant that a scowling Luke was standing by. She walked over and placed her hand on the soil and, slowly
