THALIA

Day two of not being at work, and I'm beyond bored. I finally got to make use of my laptop and binged my new favourite show which happens to be Amara's favorite too. We're both fairly engrossed in the movie when a FaceTime call covers the screen, both of us groaning when my step-sister Silver's number flashes on the screen. Both Amara and I groan in irritation, Silver only calls me when she needs something or when she's gotten herself in a legal pickle. I love my stepdad his only flaw is his kids, with Silver taking the trophy.

“Ignore it,” Amara says, reaching for my laptop to cancel the call.

I catch her hand before she speaks. “I wish I could, but she going to keep calling me.” I sigh, accepting her FaceTime call. “Hi, Florentine.” I wave, feigning enthusiasm.

“Thalia Rose!” she squeals. “You won't believe what happened,” she pauses, pointing at the camera on her phone. “Oh, the assistant is there.”

Amara kisses her teeth. “I have a name, and the next time you call

    THALIA I'm bored out of my mind sitting alone in my apartment, the ghost of all my bad decisions haunt me as I stare at everything that belonged to Keir. I can't help but wonder what would have happened to me and the pup if I stayed in that abusive relationship. Would I have lost another child trying to atone for those sins? The thought makes my stomach churn, Knox would have killed me for sure. Speaking of the baby daddy the moon goddess decided to punish me with, he's been texting me lately but one can tell from his texts that he hates me. I'm grateful he made himself scarce but texting me three times a day when I feel comfortable to have a doctor's appointment is unnerving. I'm scared of the doctor saying something I can't stomach, I'm trying so hard to be positive this time. I pick my phone up and Knox's text stares at me from the notification bar, I open it and close the app, opening my contacts. My finger hovers over my therapist's contact before I work up the courage to c

    My answer is quick, “No! I promise I'm fine, it's just that I have so much free time and that's the only thing I could find to occupy my mind.” “Aren't Alpha Ezra's project manager?”l “I am, but Knox asked me not to go to work for a while.” Lana nods, “I see, and is that what you want too?” “No, I like working, just the feel of being around multitudes of work makes me relax.” I smile. “Then you should go, Knox can't dictate your life unless you let him. I hate to see you like this, you're backtracking your progress. You're a strong willed woman, you can't hand your captor the keys to your cage.” See? She's got such a way with words, unorthodox sometimes but still. “I will start going to the office again, I miss my lunch breaks with Nova.” Lana mirrors my smile, “Attagirl, I'm relieved our sessions aren't in vain. Don't let anything slow you down, work if you wish to but don't over exert yourself.” “I won't.” I confidently tell her. Despite what Knox thinks, I'm taking care of

    The delivery guy arrives just in time, he asks the receptionist for Thalia despite my attaching a photo when I ordered it. I longer close by to Thalia and Nova, and the way he laughs with her irritates me. “Miss Laurel, I have a delivery for you.” Thalia and Nova share a look before she turns to him with a warm smile. “I'm Miss Laurel but I didn't order anything.” “Well, it says here for Miss Laurel.” he shows her the tablet, trying to balance my order in his hand. Thalia stares at the drink in his hand and shakes her head, “No.” she stares back at it, she wanted this, I clearly heard her and Amara talking about this earlier and it's the one she's been having nearly every day with Nova. “you have the wrong person.” “Maybe it's Danielle on the upper floor.” Nova suggests. “Yes!” Thalia promptly agrees, somehow they've convinced each other they're both right. I'm left with no choice but to join the conversation, “I ordered it.” “You?” both Thalia and Nova gasp, their face

    THALIA Nova invited me to the pack hunts, I was unsure how Knox would feel having me around but when Ryan asked me to join even though I wasn't shifting so my presence is practically useless, I gave it a second thought. Of course, I made the decision while shopping to get my mind off it but I'm here regardless. I stumble across the kids before I can lock my car, somehow they always notice me before I can. “Auntie Thalia Rose!” Katie Rose screams, jumping up and down. “Hi, Auntie.” Bella grins. “Would you look at that, it's two of my favourite girls in Flame Valley.” “I missed you, are you here for the hunt?” I nod, crouching down to their height. “You two are dressed so pretty.” “Thank you,” they both grin. I open my car and pull out two of the six teddy bears I bought today. “This one is for you, and this for you.” I grin, handing them a teddy bear in their favourite colour. “I love it!” Katie Rose squeals hugging the bear. Arabella is staring at hers intently, “

    “Nothing,” she grins up at him. “Show me,” he orders. Arabella frowns, “I was showing Aunt Thalia.” she pulls out her hands, sucks in a breath and morphs her claws. “Tadaa.” “Where did you learn that?” “Over there,” she points, her gaze finding Knox again. “Are you okay Daddy?” “Yes, my little girl is growing up.” “I won't grow up, it makes you sad.” she stomps her foot. “He's not sad. He's happy and, pretty soon you'll be shifting like everyone.” “Daddy said I might not but that's okay because it makes me unique.” she beams. That's okay? No, it's not. My memories of being one of the bullied wolfless kids kick in and I want to snap Knox in half, even though he bullied me when I was younger. “Why would you say that, she's only three of course she's going to shift. She's already got her claws and she's growing big.” “So big.” Ryan ruffles her hair, making her pout. “Curiosity here,” he raises his hand. “Who said, I mean how do you know Bella's age?” “Daddy, Uncle

    “S-she had no place to go,” he stutters. “it's only been a week and I swear to you I've not touched her, my sister is there too she'll tell you the truth. I swear on my daughter, you're the only woman that I love and it's killing me not having you with me every day.” “You made that choice, if you loved me you'd have thought about your actions.” “Baby, if I could turn back time...” he trails off, reaching for me but I take a step back. “I love you.” “Then choose me, if you love me you're going to put me first for once.” “I can't leave, Florence will—” “Stop. That's enough, unless it's about Katie Rose don't you dare call me. You'll be hearing from my lawyer soon.” I walk away, grateful most people are hunting so they can't see me cry. I missed out on Ryan's first kill of the night to talk to him, to spend time with him while he plotted to stick me in one house with what broke our marriage. I barely make it to my tent before I break down, crying on my knees when I bump into

    Thalia shrugs, “Maybe the pup hates you, I know I do. And please watch your voice, someone might hear.” she whispers, her gaze wandering around, we're nearly alone, everyone around is either drunk or too consumed by their mates. “I don't care if they hear me.” “Oh, so that's why you haven't told Mariella yet?” she nods to herself “You want her to get wind of it, smart.” “Stop it.” I swallow, Mariella not being here has momentarily lifted a weight off my shoulders. Thalia frowns, “Stop what?” “Stop bringing Mariella up, she might trip and fall from all the thoughts you're giving her.” “I shouldn't even be talking to you.” she sighs, staring off into the river again. I watch her, the way her hair catches the subtle breeze, the way the moon shines almost directly on her face. She's beautiful, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen but her inside is ugly. My wolf laughs at me, for someone who should be having my back he's a fucking betrayer. “We felt her insides, there

I don't know what he found to blame me for but I do know that I don't want to hear it, my day won't be ruined. Serenity woke up today, and nothing will take my smile away, this is an answered prayer that I will savour. “I don't want to hear it, I'm leaving.” I tell him. “Come and have breakfast.” he glares. “What?” I frown. “Breakfast? You're mad at me because of breakfast?” “I'm not mad at you, come on. Amara and Nova cooked.” I frown, the people he's mentioning were asleep when I left the campsites. There's no way they were able to cook anything at all, unless they went back to sleep after cooking. MARIELLA I try not to look at the man in my mother's basement as I put my clothes on.

    “Maybe if he wasn't my chosen then I'd be happy.” I swallow, I picked Aaron for a mate, my ancestors really cursed me there by crossbreeding with lycans and interfering with the perfect assortment by the moon goddess. Okay, maybe not perfect, there's Thalia and Knox are proof even the moon goddess can get things wrong. “You know, I would have waited for my fated mate or died waiting, anything would be better than this.” “Aww, I'm sorry, Novie.” Thalia caresses my arm. “I wish I knew what to say but my love life is a bigger fuck up.” “True,” we share a laugh. “But I am fine, I'll get over him and start over, just me and Katie Rose...” I trail off, forgetting he will always be around because we share a child, and he will torment me with that. “It's not your fault, you're not wrong for wanting a peaceful life.” “I'm wrong for not forgiving him,” I admit. Many women would overlook this and hand him a second chance but I'm just not there yet, I don't think I'll ever be there. “No

    “Calm down,” I tell her, watching how easily her emotional state has escalated. I'm just trying to find something that works for me and my children and not having her around worked just fine for me. “No, you,” she points at me, shaking still. “You don't tell me what to do, you're sick! I just found out you knocked up for sport, tortured me because I didn't get pregnant when you hate me for killing our child?” “Thalia,” I warn, not liking the way her breathing pattern has quickened with each word she says. “Sorry, touchy subject, I know.” she nervously laughs, misreading my concern. “But I'm not giving up my baby to some sadistic psychopath with had a brain cell.” I ignore the jab at my intelligence, and still unsure of why she's so upset when she's mentioned she doesn't want a baby. “You yourself have expressed your need to not have a baby, if you give the child to me I'll raise it better than you can.” I tell her, knowing the example of my parenting is sitting at home happy a

    I lift her and sit her in my lap, holding her close while I try to find words that won't sound too resentful. “Your daddy doesn't like your auntie Thalia and when you're so close to her, it hurts him. And me too, she's nice but she can be very bad sometimes.” “Why?” “I don't know,” I sigh. “But if you want to go to school, and be a flower girl in Mommy and Daddy's wedding then you have to stop liking Thalia.” I prompt, watching her frown, her gaze a multitude of unspoken questions. “If you do that, I can convince Daddy to let you go to school.” She frowns, “But Mommy, I like her.” “So I do,” I frown. “But if you really want to go to school, and get that pretty dollhouse daddy said no to then you have to stay away from Thalia and treat her like strangers.” Arabella doesn't respond, she's been wanting to attend school since she

    MARIELLA When I arrived yesterday morning, Alpha Knox had already left the pack house and he came back really late. Unfortunately for me, I was awake at the time, trying to sort through the clothes I purposefully disorganized to keep myself busy. He said he wanted to talk when I was free so I've kept myself busy, all day. Whatever he wants to say to me I don't care, I don't want to hear it because it will push him further from me. For the past two hours, I've managed to hide out in my room while Nova plays with the children. I'm checking out wedding magazines when someone knocks on my door, I want to pretend I'm asleep but whoever is on the other side knows I don't go to sleep before Eleven thirty, everyone in the house knows. Hiding in the closet or under the bed is a considerable option but when they knock a second time, I'm inclined to answer. “Come in!” I yell, watching th

    “Because you're licking that man's boots instead of working hard.” she counters, “You're a woman Mariella. The only man you know how to work can't be your mate, work them all to your side. Knox should be worshipping you, not the other way around. Stop playing coy.” I swallow, feeling like a child being scolded for never being good enough. “I am n-no,” I stutter. Mother nods at me, petting Priya. “Then what are you doing? Hmm, you're embarrassing me as your mother, your step sister laughs at you, she snagged her a beta just last month.” “And sister Mariella, you're prettier than sister Amrita.” Ignoring Priya I turn to my mother, “I can't choose my mate Mom. However, I can choose my second. Knox is my second, mother.” “Hmm,” mother nods. “Is your obsession with him fed by the fact that he belongs to Thalia?” “He doesn't!” I argue, my heartbeat picking up. “Mariella, what has gotten into you?” my mother's eyes widen, I never raise my voice at her but when she says things l
