Ayla POV

Everything felt a bit heavier since taking my body back from Alune, like she was constantly there, pushing at my walls, looking for a way in. I won’t let it happen again, though, this is my body, and I control it; I will say when she has any access, if at all. I know how important her work is and how I fit into the greater plan of things, but that does not mean she gets to do as she pleases with me in the process.

I wouldn’t admit it to Axel and Aiden, but it affected me when Alune took control. Watching my mates in that way but knowing it wasn’t really me just made me feel icky. Even though it was still my body, and they were fighting her back too. I don’t know; it just didn’t feel nice.

Axel had been busying himself running here and everywhere, trying to make sure we had everything in place and ready for when Aleena and Michael got back; goddess knows when that would be, they have been gone almost the whole day so far. The moon had risen, and the hour was late already, yet

    Aleena’s POVWalking up to the chair in the centre of the room was more daunting than I had ever imagined. I knew I wasn’t in the wrong but bearing myself to my mother like this was terrifying; she would see more than just the memories she needed to see. She would access everything I have ever seen, felt or said. And the sheer thought made me want to turn, grab Michael’s hand and bolt from this place faster than a speeding bullet. But I knew I couldn’t do that; I had to allow my mother in and let her see the truth for what it truly was.Each step I took sounded like a boom of thunder as my foot touched the marble floor of my father’s throne room. Every pair of eyes in the place was directed at me as I lowered myself into the wooden high-back chair provided.Michael was still held mercilessly by the king’s Guards, but his eyes were determined as he held my gaze; he refused to fight or demand the respect he was owed. He just watched me with a never faltering loyalty. My heart swelled bu

    Archer’s POVMaybe I was mistaken; perhaps the screeching hadn’t been Leah; she didn’t seem like the screeching type, but if not her, then who?Titan was silent, he would not speak whilst we were in Leah’s presence. He barely even moved. But I found her intriguing; she didn’t seem so scary now that I had been around her for a while. She said she could help us if we help her, that there may be a way out of here if I do a few small things for her.“You stay right here, my little wolf boy; I’ll be right back” Leah flashed a stunning smile my way; I couldn’t help but smile back. As she walked out the door, closing it with a soft click.“What the hell do you think you’re doing, Archer?” Titan’s voice barked inside my mind, making me jump. He had been silent for ages that it came as a shock when I heard his voice.“What?” I shrugged“You’re basically dribbling over that witch”, he growled at me “what about our mate?”“Hey, no, I’m not; I just don’t see what the big deal is about her now; sh

    Stacy’s POVThe day had turned to night before I left my room again. Everything my mother and her friends had said swam through my mind constantly, and it wasn’t about to stop any time soon.The idea of being Mason’s fated mate was doing all kinds of crazy things to my mind. Yes, I knew I wouldn’t truly be his fated mate, but he wouldn’t know that; plus, I’d get to rule the pack alongside him and get my way when it came to many things. Maybe the last few weeks would have been worth it after all if this actually pans out.“Mother”, I call as I descend the stairs. But I was greeted with nothing but silence. Everyone had left hours ago, and it seemed like my mother had gone with them. I didn’t expect my father to be here; he was always out in the evening doing goddess knows what, and I didn’t care to find out either.Strutting into the kitchen, the intent of fixing myself something to eat without prying eyes watching every tiny morsel I put in my mouth, a happy little hum left my lips.

    Aiden’s POVHours had passed with nothing changing. The Alpha and the Elf had left early this morning, but we have yet to hear anything; Ayla has been hot and cold all day, and I don’t know how to help her. Things seemed to be getting better, and she started to relax and even had a little fun with us until the Luna charged in and ruined it all!Since that incident, Ayla has just sat holding Archer’s hand, allowing silent tears to run down her cheeks.“I swear if the Alpha doesn’t get back soon, I’ll leave and go get him myself,” I moan in my mind to my brother. “Surely it doesn’t take all day and most of the night to do what they went to do, whatever that bloody was?”“I’m sure they won’t be much longer; Aleena did state it wasn’t going to be easy. Let’s hope they get what they need and get back soon. Ayla is struggling with this,” Axel reasoned with me. “I can’t believe her mother, okay stand-in mother, would say that kind of thing to her”“Don’t talk to me about that bitch; I’m in t

    Aleena’s POVI knew coming here would be hard, but I would never have guessed it would be as traumatic as it has been. My mother is adamant about finishing the mind searches as soon as physically possible, my father is allowing me the help I need but very begrudgingly, and my brother won’t even speak to me now, all thanks to Myla – his wife and my ex-best friend – which I honestly wasn’t surprised about, but it does hurt a bit.“Aleena, what exactly is it you need to borrow and for how long” my sister Alysia asked, and I fully intended to tell her, but something was bugging me.“Alysia, I was sure I felt the magic signature of Natalia on the wards at the gate. But I have seen no sign of her? where is she?” I asked before I changed my mind.“Uh, well, yes, that was her magic signature you felt, and it was her who originally renewed the defensive spells; she was always the strongest” my sister seemed to be dancing around the subject, and it bugged me.“Alysia, get to the point”, I urged

    Aleena’s POVWalking back to the pack house, with the guards my father had insisted accompany us, wasn’t exactly how I had things planned in my mind. I needed time with Michael, time alone, to work out what was going on with us. Everything was so different to how it was before. He’s a married man, for goddess’ sake! Could I really have such strong feelings for him and him for me too?“Your highness, kindly take the central position; you are to be protected at all times via your father’s request”, one of the royal guards spoke without looking at me.“You me for the protection of the relics, not my protection; let’s not play pretend; we are all grown adults now” I rolled my eyes; my father didn’t care about me, only the items he was worried he could lose, not once would it have been about my safety. The guard did the right thing and kept quiet. I moved into the centre of their protective square to ease the tension, dragging Michael with me at the last second. Catching hold of his hand a

    Ayla’s POVIt was now or never, and this better work. I knew as I stood in the arms of my mate Aiden that we had to give everything we had to get this to work. Whatever it was Aleena needed us to do, we would do it without question. That included calling on Alune. The last bloody thing I ever wanted to do again. I really couldn’t see how we could get along, but I didn’t have any choice in the matter. She had merged with me, and I was now stuck being the Exalted being’s vessel; I guess I find a way to live with it or give myself over to her and become nothing – that was something I would never do willingly.Pacing the room, I took my time; calling on Alune was not something I would ever be ready to do. But Archer needed me, and frankly, I would walk through hell to save him if I had to and back again.“You ready for this?” Aiden asked. He hadn’t been keen when I walked out of his warm embrace and started pacing. I needed time to get my head straight, and I couldn’t do that wrapped up i

    Archer’s POV“Find the wolf, gotta find the wolf,” I repeat over and over as I search like a crazed animal. My beautiful Leah had told me how urgently we must rid our home of this wolf, how he is there to hurt her and pull us apart. “I’ll never let that happen,” a growl rumbled up my throat and threatened to spill from my lips. There was nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for my Leah. She was my life, the very air I breathed. I would be lost without her.Slowing my pace, creeping through the forest. I know he’s here; I just can’t see him. The leaves had fallen still, and the breeze was holding its breath. Not a sound could be heard, but nothing would get past me. I could feel him in a way, know that he was near, sense his presence.My footsteps were so loud in my ears as I crept along, the leaves crunching and giving me away. I needed to sneak up on the wolf before he heard me, but the world was against me. Every breath I took sounded like the wind howling, and my heart would beat fa

    Laura’s POVIn an already clean house, one can only do so much cleaning. My world was all over the place. My mother might have been pleased with me for once, but I couldn’t find my husband. I hadn’t seen him since that morning. I had only just been able to wangle him back under my control this time; there was no guarantee I’ll be able to do it again. He is so strong-willed; it was kind of scary. If he found out I lied, that I had spelled him into loving me, being with me and protecting me, I don’t even want to think what he would consider doing.No one had approached me all day, not since Mason earlier this morning. He had left in such a mood, but that was nothing new. I had to focus on gaining control of Michael and Mason. When he struck me, it only proved I was slipping majorly. If I didn’t gather my family back in and get back to the level of control I had before, I would surely lose it all.Frantically pacing the kitchen, trying to keep my mind busy, was when my phone rang, and it

    Stacy’s POV“Mason keeps ringing; what do I do,” I asked wide-eyed, cross-legged on Jacob’s bed; I hadn’t left yet; I had been with him all day and all last night. He was the same Jacob I knew but, at the same time, different. He was strong, confident and possessive; I loved it.“Next time, let me answer; I’ll sort this out”, He answered. Storm stared at me from behind his eyes.“It will only infuriate him, Jake; you know it will, he will go nuts; I don’t want you to get hurt”, I admitted, but Jacob just laughed, a full belly laugh.“Babe, please, have you seen me?” he laughed again “Do you honestly think he could hurt me.”“He is the Alpha’s son though” I was quiet as I didn’t know what to do.“Pfft, who cares? No one hurts my girl and gets away with it,” he declared, reaching over and kissing my jawline, sending tingles all over my body.“Look, don’t worry about Mason; I’ll handle him. It would be best if you worked out what to say to your crazy mother and her friends,” he said poin

    Archer’s POVAxel spoke with Ayla; I sat silently, doing nothing. I didn’t begrudge him that; it’s just that I missed her too, and it’s my fault she is in the state she is in. I lost my wolf and my mate both at the same time. I felt less than useless right now. I couldn’t shift or mind link, I couldn’t shadow walk, and I had lost part of my strength; I was no longer a werewolf until Titan was found.“Arch, stop it; you’re not useless; I can hear you, you know”, Axel grumbled from across the room.“Great, at least you can hear me; it makes me feel so much better”, I moaned back.“I didn’t mean it like that; you know I didn’t. We will sort this; it just won’t happen overnight” he tried his best to reassure me, but he failed miserably.Ignoring my brother as I didn’t have anything to say in response, I decided to flick through my phone, looking at crap on social media from my old life. I felt so disconnected from the person I used to be. It was like looking through someone else’s memorie

    Aleena’s POVThe wind howled outside as I waited for Aiden to return. He said he would track Michael down, just in case my presence still hurt him. I was a bag of nerves. I was actually going to do this; I was going to claim the man destined for me. That and saving everyone else in such a small space of time, but who’s counting?Dressed in my Michael hoody, I waited. Minutes felt like hours, which led to the discovery of me not being a patient person. I needed to distract myself so I didn’t go crazy, so braiding my floor-length hair seemed like a good idea until it wasn’t. I was so anxious that I couldn’t make my fingers do the work I needed them to do. I swear I looked like a child who had never braided before.“You need to calm the heck down, don’t be so stupid,”, I told myself sternly; I had never imagined I would find love, seeing as I no longer lived with my people. But I guess the goddess has other plans for me after all.Taking a few deep, calming breaths, I started again. I ha

    Aleena’s POVThe morning had arrived by the time I found the Chase brothers. All three were in Aiden’s room, and he looked like shit. I wasn’t surprised after all he had been through. But I didn’t have time to stand here feeling sorry for him. I had to see if I could siphon the Shadows out of his body, so he could function when we needed him. Being unpredictable was not what we needed right now.“There you are, Aiden. You look like hell, but I think I can help if you let me,” I spoke quickly, hoping to get in there before they all tried speaking at once.“Oh, hey Aleena, yeah, thanks for that. I feel like hell, too,” he smiled at me, which I was shocked at. I thought he would be a massive pile of brooding mess by now.“Well, I can help get some of the darkness, if not all, out of your system, which will help in the long run if you want” I shrugged like it was nothing but knew how massive it was. I was doing everything I could to keep my mind on task and not on Michael.“Sure, let’s do

    Stacy’s POVI was having the best dream, something I hadn’t been able to do lately. I was with Jacob; it was safe and warm, and I missed him. I wouldn’t admit that out loud, however. I could smell him around me and feel the comfiness of his bed. If I could stay asleep forever, I think I would.I felt something next to me, an arm snaking around my waist and warmth on my back. I froze, had I stayed at Mason’s last night? I couldn’t remember, and then it came rushing back; my eyes flew open, yet I stayed dead still.I was in Jacob’s room, in his bed. I remember coming over now and snuggling into his hoodie like an idiot. I must have fallen asleep before he had gotten out of the shower, but how did I end up in his bed?“Dear goddess, please say we didn’t do anything; Mason would kill me”, I frantically thought.I had only come here to talk; I planned to make Mason want me more, but also, partly because I missed Jacob, and he was so sweet to me. But now I’m in his bed, and I don’t know wha

  • Awaken the Wolf    Chapter 62

    Aleena’s POVWaiting to hear anything from Michael or the chase brothers was killing me. When did I suddenly become a man-obsessed person? Never before had I been this way about anyone, and not about the Alpha. I knew the Werewolf rules; I knew that once they found their mate, they were done, they wouldn’t even look in the direction of another woman, and Michael had his mate. So why was he constantly looking at me like he felt the same way I did?“What do I feel for him” I questioned myself; I wasn’t ready to face that mountain yet, but deep down, I knew; I didn’t want to say it out loud. But, of course, it’s not unheard of for different races to end up together. But a mated one, now that was unheard of.I had walked in circles around my room. I returned here once I had set Aiden on his task. There was no way I would risk being around Laura; she hated me near her man, and I don’t blame her. Even though Michael would deny that she hates me, I could feel it, and we elves had a knack for

    Aiden’s POVI was sure I was dead. I had no energy to force myself up off the floor where I had landed, running from the Luna and her unsavoury friend. My body hurt, my legs felt like they were made of led, and I had been thrown into the sea and sinking fast. I was sure I’d never wake up again if I just gave in.Shadows constantly sang to me, trying to drag me back under, calling me back to their dark embrace.“No, I’m needed here; she needs me”, I mumbled in my sleepy haze. Then, finally, I had to force myself up. I don’t know how long I had lain here in the dark, my back pressed against the cold wooden door. But I didn’t care.“Aiden, where are you” Ayla’s voice tickles my mind. But could it really be her, now that Alune had control of her body? Could she still reach me if she wanted to?“Ayla, babe, is that you” I call out desperately to her, needing to know if she was there, if she was okay and how I could help.“Aiden, she’s sleeping; it’s the only time I can reach you,” she told

    Stacy’s POVWalking out of Mason’s room and leaving the pack house like I did, felt fantastic, liberating in a way. My car was parked around the corner, and I couldn’t get to it fast enough.“Get the fuck off of me”, a rough voice roared across the grounds. Turning my head, I saw the three overly sexy Chase brothers in some scrap. Usually, I would stop to watch, what with all the sex appeal they have going on, and right now, they were practically bursting out of their clothes. Goddess knows why Ayla; the attention-grabbing whore was able to bag all three of them. They were the kind of guys you would get wet over just looking at them for too long, and she was nothing.“Maybe I will make them mine once I rule this place”, I muttered as I turned towards my car. Jacob was waiting for me; frankly, I couldn’t wait to get over there.Nerves were kicking in as I rounded the corner to Jacob’s street. I had been here so many times before, but this time felt like the first time all over again.
