Leah’s POV It was strange to think back at how horrified I felt when Sebastian killed Eli in our first life, compared to the amount of hate I currently felt towards Eli. I would probably be the first one to not just strangle him right now, but to rip him to shreds for what he has done to everyone around us. The first bond I felt towards him was long gone now. I realized that I didn’t even feel sad about it anymore. Whatever there was between us, Eli had killed. I would never admit it out loud, but I was grateful that things didn’t work out between us. No matter which way I tried to imagine things, it always seemed to come back to one thing. The moon goddess intervening. I could just imagine her making sure that Sebastian and I met even if I didn’t run away from Eli. It made me wonder again why she mated me with Eli in the first place, but in the end, none of it really mattered since none of it happened. We got word that Eli’s mate had died and my eyes flew to Sebastian as fear raced
Leah’s POV We weren’t really using protection and I wasn’t on anything, and worst of all, we hadn’t really discussed children, but we were busy every chance we got, so it was very possible that I could be pregnant already. I pushed the thought to the back of my mind as we stood back and looked at our finished project. Everything had really come together so damn nice and I couldn’t understand why the first Luna couldn’t get it done faster. What was she doing that I’m not or was it the other way around? Was I doing things she didn’t? Sebastian slipped his arm around my waist and smiled as we looked at the colourful, freshly painted building in front of us. “You did good.” He dropped a kiss on top of my head and I grinned. I really did do well. Emily had a group of young adults together that were going to move in and help with the children and the air was electric with excitement. Sebastian suggested a barbeque to celebrate our achievement and whoops went up all around us. Everybody dis
Eli’s POV I had enough of watching these bastards and was on my way to call my warriors when my new beta rushed into my office looking as if he had seen a ghost. He almost pushed me out of the way as he grabbed hold of my TV remote and searched for a channel. As soon as the face came up, I felt my heart sink! The headline read “Werewolves and Vampires” and the reporter was the girl I sent after Sebastian! She had footage of me shifting in the city! How on earth did she get that? She also had footage of me walking out of the club where I met Nathaniel! That BASTARD! The only way she could have gotten her hands on that was if Sebastian had helped her! “These creatures are living among us. They could be your neighbour or even your closest friend and you wouldn’t know it until it’s too late. We want to caution everybody that should you come across one of them, you shouldn’t try to take them down yourself …” I didn’t even listen to the rest as I lowered my head into my hands. My phone ran
Leah’s POVMy heart went out to the girl and Eli, but for once, I didn’t feel the need to interfere. My own life depended on this plan working. I was furious at Sebastian when we drove here and he explained what he was planning, but my fury died as soon as he told me that he was going to use this plan to get Nathaniel out of our lives for good. At first, I didn’t think that Nathaniel would fall for it but watching his face when Sebastian explained to him how Eli had been dealing with the reporter this entire time and how he planned to bring down not just our pack but the entire vampire community. I felt that it was a huge reach, but Nathaniel seemed to believe Sebastian, and as soon as Eli arrived it was all over for him.I didn’t want to think about what would happen to him and the girl. I just breathed a sigh of relief when Eli walked through the door and I realized that Nathaniel shook Sebastian’s hand. Th
Leah’s POVSeeing Sebastian handing out the toys to the children, convinced me that we needed to have a child. I wished we could take all the children home from the orphanage because I couldn’t begin to imagine taking just one of them and having to leave the others behind. What were they going to think after we leave them behind? I started to wonder if adopting was such a good idea and when I felt Sebastian’s arms circle around me, I breathed in his scent and felt my wolf calm down instantly.“What’s up, buttercup?” He sat down on the floor behind me as I pulled little Elana into my arms and handed her the blocks she’d been playing with.“I can’t do this.” I turned my head toward him and spoke softly.“Do what?” He frowned, smiling.“This,” I looked at the other children. “I can’t ima
Eli’s POVI felt like killing Nathaniel when I heard the girl screaming next door. They unlocked the door just a couple of minutes ago. I could feel her fear, which was strange since she wasn’t a pack member and she wasn’t my mate. It had to have something to do with our blood connection. I couldn’t imagine them moving that tub I remembered into her room, and I knew that calling her over the radio wasn’t going to help if they were doing something to her. This was infuriating! I wondered if I would be able to break down the door if I shifted, but immediately pushed that idea to the back of my mind. I knew that Nathaniel would have prepared for my strength and I would probably not be able to break it down! Her screams slowly left her room and passed by my door and I shoved my pillow over my head to try and drown them out. There was no way I would ever be able to save her. Images of what happened to me when he made me
Leah’s POVMy heart was literally torn to pieces! I made a point of going to see the children as often as I could. I didn’t want a single one to think they weren’t loved. Which, of course, made me feel even worse about our decision to adopt just one child. Our way of life suddenly made absolutely no sense to me! We fought like animals over territory, and nobody thought about the poor children that were left behind. I pulled the journal from my shelf. Sebastian and Emily were out for two days to attend an alpha meeting, and to my surprise, it was made very clear that no Luna should attend. That, of course, made me worry. Why would they have a meeting where the Lunas of the pack shouldn’t be there? I sat down and opened the book to the next page.As I read previous Luna’s diary, I realized that she struggled with the same problem I did. She clearly knew that Sebastian was a hybrid and didn’t want a biolog
Eli’s POVI woke up to the door unlocking. The sound of the heavy lock in the steel door reminded me that there was no way in hell I was getting through there on my own. Even if I was in wolf form. Nathaniel sure knew his damn stuff. I hadn’t really tried my hybrid strength, but no creature I knew of would be able to get through there without a key. Besides, once I got out of here, I would have no idea of where to go. Knowing these vamps, we were probably on a different fucking continent! My thoughts were rudely interrupted when one of their electric prods hit me in the side.For a split second, I wondered if this was going to become a daily occurrence! Were they going to come in here once a day, stick me with their little sticks and drag me off to be poked and prodded until they finally brought me back? I couldn’t imagine surviving much of this for too long. Even supernatural creatures have their limits. The lights flas
