[Knight’s POV]

I keep my gaze fixed on Tatiana as she processes what I’ve just told her. Of course, I didn’t hope for her to immediately let her guard down, not after everything she suffered because of me, but I hoped that maybe this would be the first step to fixing our relationship.

“What…” she says slowly. “Did you just say?”

Her eyes, which are wide, are still filled with disbelief and distrust. It was becoming increasingly clear that we had a long way to go.

“I fucked up,” I respond. “All those years, I kept you at arms length out of fear of pulling you into pack politics.”

“You,” she hisses, her eyes narrowing. “You turned a blind eye to all the abuse I endured for that reason."

Her voice drips with venom, and I feel my heart shatter over just how much she went through because of my poor choice.

“If I had shown any sort of interest, my stepmother..."

“I get it,” she sighs, composing herself once more. “But that doesn’t mean that I forgive you.”

Wincing, I bit back my initial res

  • Betrayed Bonds: The Rise Of An Omega   Distract Himself

    [Massimo’s POV]“Welcome back.”Giovani’s voice echoes down the hall as I make my way toward his office. When I enter, he is sitting at his desk with an expectant look on his face and a smile on his lips.“Well?” He urges when I take a seat. “How is my dear niece?”“Fully awakened,” I respond, throwing my feet onto his desk and earning myself a huff of disgust. “I don’t see why you needed me to go and check on her for you.”As I speak, Tatiana’s look of shock flashes in my mind, and unlike in the past, when I would feel overwhelming love for her when I thought of her, all I could feel was nothing.That was how it had been since the day we parted ways, and at times I found myself wondering exactly why I even cared. Was I just suddenly able to realize how fucking foolish I was, or was there something else? I didn’t know, and frankly, I didn’t give two shits.Sighing, I fix my gaze on Giovani, taking him in.“Why are you suddenly so interested in her?” I ask, voicing the single question

    [Tatiana’s POV]I look around me, trying to make sense of what is happening and where I am. I’m surrounded by brick walls, and what looks like butcher hooks hang from the ceiling. The scent of blood attacks my nose, and it makes me gag.How did I get here? The last thing I remembered was moving to a new hideout and then laying down because I was exhausted and needed an escape from Knight, and then...Oh, right. I fell asleep. So that meant that this had to be a dream. Or was it a vision? I wasn’t sure, but the whole thing left me on edge, and I couldn’t help but fear whatever I was going to find here.Continuing to look around, I find metal stairs and begin to move, slowly making my way up them. When I reach the top, I’m met with a single metal door with a small window allowing one to look inside, and I know that whatever it is that I was meant to see is in there waiting for me.Swallowing a few times, I slowly creep forward until I reach, and then, after taking a deep breath, I look

    [Tatiana’s POV]I stare wide-eyed at Knight, taking in what he is saying to me while my heart beats erratically in my chest. Who was this man? He most certainly wasn’t the distant man I grew up knowing, and despite feeling like it was all an act to get me to let my guard down, I desperately wanted to believe him.“What?” He asks, smirking. “Did you just fall in love with me?”“No,” I snap, getting my wits about me again thanks to his ridiculous quip. “Nowhere near, but thanks.”I know that he meant well with his words, and I appreciated that he was saying such things, but if he thought it would be that easy to get me to forgive and accept him, he was wrong.“Thank me by becoming a strong leader.”“Yeah.”Nodding, I turn my attention back to Octavia, who is already milk-drunk and slowly releasing. When she unlatches entirely, I give her a quick burp before attempting to get up and return her to her crib.“Can I?” Knight asks hesitantly.For a moment, I considered whether or not he woul

    [Knight’s POV]Excitement begins to surge through me as Tatiana’s body presses against mine and her lips move along with mine. She was giving in; that much was certain, but was it due to the bond or because she cared for me somewhere deep inside? I didn’t know, but right now I didn’t care.Pressing her harder against the wall, I let my knee brush between her thighs, earning myself a small mewl of pleasure that sets off an all-new fire in me.Letting my hands travel down her body, I clasp her ass and then lift so that she can throw her legs around me. Once she is secured, I carry her to the bed and then throw her down before pouncing.Fuck, she looked so damn beautiful lying there, breathing heavily with her cheeks flushed with desire and her eyes sparkling with anticipation. It drove me fucking crazy.“Knight,” she sighs, causing all rationale to disappear.Pressing my mouth against hers again, I suck her bottom lip between my teeth so I can begin to nibble at it while my hand travels

    [Massimo’s POV]The following day, I arrive at the abandoned hospital early and begin to move, heading inside where my target was supposed to be. However, I'm met with emptiness from the cowards making a run for it. Stepping over the broken furniture that still covers the ground from my attack the day before, I look around and feel the emptiness press against my skin, indicating that they had left the previous day.Letting out a chuckle, I head toward Tatiana’s room just to confirm what I already know. Inside is empty, and everything she owned is gone.“Do you really think you can get away from me?” I grin, pulling out my phone and opening the tracker app that I managed to insert into Knight when I shot him the night before. “You’re really not that careful, are you?"Eyeing the app, I take in the blinking green spot that is just a town over before turning and heading out, where Giovani’s men are waiting for me with expectant looks on their faces.“Well?” Boris, a large man with a hug

Heart pounding, I begin to look around, taking in the familiar space from Octavia sleeping soundly against the wall to Knight out cold on the floor.Letting out a breath, I swipe my hair out of my face along with the sweat that has drenched my skin.A dream. That had to be a dream or a vision, one or the other, but it hadn’t happened.Feeling myself beginning to calm down, I slowly get up and make my way over to where Knight lays soundly.Kneeling, I place a hand on his shoulder and give him a gentle shake. However, he doesn’t move or make a sound.Frowning, I shake him harder, but the result is the same.“Knight,” I hiss, giving him a pull so that he turns over to look at me with empty eyes.Eyes widening, I begin to take him in until my eyes come to rest on his che

    [Tatiana’s POV]“I won’t.”The words leave my lips as another flare of desire rushes through me. Whatever was in this smoke was potent, and it was slowly beginning to get to me, but I refused to give in to his demands. I wouldn't, and I would kill myself before I was used as a toy by a man.“Suit yourself,” he shrugs. “Then you’re welcome to watch as others get sweet relief while you stubbornly fight it.”Not bothering to respond, I collapse on the ground at his feet as he lifts his fingers and snaps them. Immediately, two women appear and drop to their knees in front of him so that they can begin to lick and suck his dick, which is at full attention while I watch on.Letting out a grunt of satisfaction, he leans back in his seat and spreads his legs more so that one of the women can begin to massage and suck at his balls. Together, they continue to attack him greedily, as if his dick were the most delicious thing, until a growl of satisfaction escapes him and he erupts all over thei

It fucking hurts, but not as bad as the thought of losing the one that means so much to me, and if I didn’t wake the fuck up, there was a good chance she was going to be gone forever. I couldn't let that happen, not after I decided that I would do whatever it took to keep her by my side for the rest of eternity.Pushing against the darkness that tries to hold me, I fight, clawing at the tiny sliver of light that I see just ahead. I just know if I reach it, then I'll wake up, and she will be there waiting for me.How long? How fucking long had I been out because of that bastard Massimo? I didn’t know, but I was going to make sure he paid, and if that meant making Tatiana cry, so be it.‘Come on,’ I hiss as the light begins to grow bigger. ‘That’s it.

    [Tatiana’s POV]My heart races as I stare at the name that flashes on my phone. Massimo. Was it really him calling me right now, or was it someone else pretending to be him? I didn’t know, but I wanted to find out.“Answer it.” Knight’s voice is firm, and it snaps me out of my daze. “We’ve been looking for that bastard for five years, and here he is calling you like it's nothing.”I don’t miss the hint of distrust in his voice as he speaks, but for the time being, I didn’t want to deal with it. The most important thing was answering this call and figuring out if it truly was Massimo reaching out to communicate with me or not.Sucking in a breath, I swipe to answer and bring the phone to my ear, then wait.“Little fairy.” Massimo rasps as what sounds like bottle clatter in the background. “Is that you?”Eyes widening, I realize that the person on the other end is, in fact, Massimo, and he was actually calling.“Is it him?” Knight asks slowly, clearly trying to keep his temper in check.

This was the first time she had ever been to the beach, so of course she was excited.“I want to swim!”As the words leave her lips, she attempts to rush forward but stops as Tatiana reaches down and grabs her wrist.“Careful!” I hiss, not missing the way she wobbles forward due to her large belly. “You’re going to fall and hurt yourself!”“I’ll be fine,” she insists, giving me a look of annoyance. “This isn’t the first time I’ve been pregnant.”Wincing, I try not to think about that time when I abandoned her when she truly needed me the most. I was a fucking fool back then, and it cost me a year with the woman I love the most and the first two months of my daughter's life.That was why this time around I was doing everything, from attending every single doctor's appointment to doing everything Tatiana needed me

    A Year Later[Knight’s POV]“Daddy!”The tiny voice reaches me before arms are wrapping around my leg. Looking down, I take in Octavia as she grins up at me. She looks adorable in her golden dress, with her hair done up into a tiny ponytail at the top of her head.Since she began to walk, no one could stop her from getting where she wanted. She was a little escape artist, and I was certain her nanny would appear soon with a look of annoyance on her features.“Up!” She insists, holding up her arms.Nodding, I do as she says before turning to Desmond, whom I had been talking to moments prior.“Typical,” he chuckles. “The minute your girls are involved, no one else exists.”“As it should be,” I agree. “Why would I want to pay attention to an old fart like you when such a beauty is in front of me?”This was the first time I had seen Desmond in months, and he was busy telling me about how things were going back at Crystal Fang. I realized that things were going back to normal after what ha

Especially a sinner like me?“Well?” She asks, looking shy. “Will you?”Would I? Of course I fucking would! But would she regret asking me to do it in the future? We still had such a long way to go in our relationship, but right now we never felt closer. However, anything could happen in the blink of an eye, and everything would come crumbling down.“Knight,” she continues when I don’t speak. “Look at me.”Reaching up, Tatiana grabs my cheeks and makes me look into her beautiful golden eyes, which can’t be outdone by the sun itself. They were perfect, she was perfect, and somehow she was all mine.“I want you to mark me,” she continues. “I want the world to know that I’m yours and you are mine. If I’ve learned anything from the past year, it is that tomorrow isn’t promised. Many were lost so that we c

It was almost as if he had disappeared or never existed at all.Letting out a sigh, I try to shake off my thoughts and head out of the bathroom to find Knight laying in bed waiting for me.“About time,” he says as his eyes begin to take me in and grow darker. “I was about to go in and check on you.”“Sorry for making you wait,” I say, taking a seat beside him and reaching for my hairbrush. “I was just…”“Needing some privacy?” He offers, making me flinch. Fuck, had he read my thoughts? “I told you that I have all my best men looking for him.”I knew that it probably hurt Knight to know that I was th

    [Knight’s POV]I remain silent as Tatiana takes the lead with our ceremony, and when it’s over, I truly feel as though I’ve fallen in love with her all over again. How was it possible that my little caged princess became such a fucking queen in the short span of a year? I was both excited to see what the future brought and disappointed that I would never get to see her shy expressions again.Back then, she was so fucking lovely that it damn near killed me to stay away from her. However, now she was just as lovely but not as innocent. At least, that was what I thought, but the minute we are allowed to leave and we are alone, there it is, that shy and embarrassed expression.“You did well,” I beam, pulling her against me. “Better than well. You were amazing.”“Was I?” She asks, clearly upset over her kill.“Remember that it was to make a point.”We already agreed that the first show of rebellion would be dealt with, and she did fucking amazing in keeping to that.

Of course, my uncle would be tried for the deaths of not only my parents but many others, and while Fernando had done his fair share of horrible deeds since I was still blood-bound to him, there was no way he could be killed.“Are you ready?” Knight asks me as I stare at my reflection in the mirror. I’m dressed in a long black button-down with a leather vest and black pants, and my long red hair is pulled into a ponytail at the nape of my neck. This is the typical look for a leader who is in mourning. “If you’re nervous, I can…”“No,” I say, giving him a smile. “I can do this. I need to do this.”Now that my uncle was where he belonged and Massimo was nowhere to be found, Onyx River, Obsidian River, and even Hunters Moon were without alphas, and now was the time for Knight and I to come together to lead all three packs.This

I needed to get out of my head and get moving. I couldn’t let the fact I couldn’t tap into my abilities stop me.
