Malachi POV.Fuck! I race after her again. I turn and run towards the SUVs that are parked out front. I shift back and climb in securing the seatbelt. I send out a mind link to the alphas and one of the omegas to show Mindy to a room.I tear out in the direction she has gone in.“She is going to get herself killed.” Hyde says in my head, and I know he is right. She shouldn’t be driving in that state. I hit the steering wheel.“We are sending warriors,” Alpha Titus’s voice enters my head and I know they are coming after me to stop her before she does something she can never take back.We don’t stop at lights as wolves scream and move out of the way. I hear a screech of tyres and the sound of an impact. The sound of metal on metal. I round the corner and press on the brake. The SUV screeching to an abrupt halt.I unclip the seatbelt and run towards the crumpled SUV. My heart hammering against my ribcage. Wolves are crying and some are calling for the emergency services. I come to a stop
Dahlia POV.Sitting at the bar looking at the whiskey in front of me. Everything is fucked up. Why does this have to happen to me? What did I ever fucking do to deserve this fate?“Dah. Don’t do this.” I ignore him. I know he will intervene if needs be. But this is my goddamn life.“How was I supposed to know this would have happened? What was I supposed to do, dad? Was I supposed to keep my mate bond with Mal after what happened? Was I meant to just suck it up and live with the pains of betrayal?” I say as I keep looking at the rich amber liquid that is taunting me in the glass tumbler.“No, baby, you did what anyone would do in that situation. Your mother tired numerous times to break our bond and it never worked. I’m surprised it worked with you,” he says and for the first time that I sat down here, I turn my head to look at him.“Why is history repeating itself, dad?” I ask him, and he shakes his head, bringing his soda to his lips.“I don’t know, baby. All I know is that what hap
Dahlia POV.I reach for the office phone again but pull my hand back. Why should I call him after what he has done?“You need to make him believe we don’t know shit! Pick up the phone and give that son of a bitch a call.” Cel is furious. I grab the phone and dial the number for the camp.“Silver Moon Alpha Training Camp. Matty speaking.” I look at my brothers, who nod their heads at me to speak.“Hi Matty, it’s Dahlia Blackwood. Is it possible to speak to Alpha Reynolds, please?” I say as sweetly as I can as I tighten the grip on the phone.“Oh Alpha Dahlia, it is so nice to hear from you. I’m sorry, but Alpha Reynolds is currently in the hospital recovering from his injuries.” He says and I fake gasp.“Oh good Goddess, what happened? Is he ok?” I ask and Helios smirks, shaking his head and I give him the finger.“Unfortunate no. He was in a car crash. Beta Lionel sadly didn’t make it. Such a tragedy. Maybe I can be of some assistance?” he says before he sounds cheerful.“No, it can w
Malachi POV.After the portal closed. I went in search of Mindy. I need to find her. We need to have the conversation.“Don’t be too hard on her. She was only a baby when the attack happened.” Hyde reminds me. Even though I know he is right, something is off with this whole thing.“I know buddy, it’s just I need answers.” I say as I move through the packhouse and find one of the omegas.“Hey, Carley. That female I asked you to show to a room. Where is she?” I ask her and she smiles at me.“I placed her on the guest floor. I think she is showering and changing. Malachi, who is she? She seemed so scared. The poor thing has been through a lot.” She says, and I nod my head. She isn’t wrong.Mindy came here, bruised and bleeding. That was before Aura pounced on her. She was skin and bone. Clearly living like a nomad for a goddess knows how long.“Thank you, I will find her.” I say as I head in the direction of the guest floor. I take the steps two at a time, knowing I don’t have long befor
Dahlia POV.Thorn and I are in the trees surveying the area that surrounds the Silver Moon Pack and Alpha Training Camp. So far, there is nothing untoward. All is quiet, too quiet. So that means either everyone is dead or they have abandoned the area.“This is strange.” I say through the link to Thorn, and he looks at me from his spot in the tree to my left.“I agree. This is something eerily quiet. Too damn quiet, Dah. This could be a trap to lure you out.” He says, and I know I have thought the same thing. But I will not go down without a fight.“Lia, we are coming up behind you.” Brent’s voice enters my head and I turn, looking down when I see them. I smile and nod my head as I look at Thorn, and we both jump down from the trees. Landing gracefully, I wait for them all to approach.“Well, I knew you couldn’t stay away from us.” Dex is the first to hug me and I chuckle, hugging him back.“I know. What can I say? I love you so much.” I say with a chuckle as I’m pulled from him into a
Dahlia POV.I stare down at the man who is the cause of this. The man I didn’t know I was supposed to be mated to.“You brought this on yourself, Silas. All you had to do was come to me and tell me. But you didn’t. Instead, you focused on wanting revenge more. You gave the order to have me raped. How could you do that? It is my right to break the mate bond. I didn’t know I had two mates. You knew and just like Mal, you did nothing, yet I’m to blame. No, fuck you Silas.” I say as I raise the gun and point it at his head. My hand shakes slightly, but I grip it.“Dahlia, don’t do this. You do this, then you are no better than he is.” Thorn says from the side, but I don’t move as I glare down at Silas who is on the floor fighting for his pathetic life.“Dah, Thorn is right. You do this, then you are going down a rabbit hole.” Cel says to me, but I ignore her as I growl and place my finger on the trigger. A silver bullet to his brain will make me feel better.I step closer and press the ba
Dahlia POV.I run from Malchi’s house to the pack house and up the steps I find my mom and tell her what Silas told me and she growls.“She won’t be so stupid to take him straight to her father. We need to track her down and now!” She says as she storms past me.She shifts when she leaves the pack house and I shift as well.“I need something of his.” My mom says and I nod my head as she bolts towards Malchi’s house and I hang back slightly. Malachi is right. This is my fault.“Celeste, move your ass!” my mom shouts and we trot forward.“Mom, I think it’s best I wait here. Malachi won’t want to see me.” I say to her and she looks at me over her shoulder.“Why is that?” she asks, and I look away from her.“Why?” she asks and I tell her what happened and she sighs, shaking her head.“Give him time to cool down. I will go in.” She says as she shifts before knocking on his door. I stay back and sit on my haunches.“Dahlia, don’t let his words get to you. He is just upset.” Cel tries to mak
Malachi POV.I didn’t mean what I said to Dahlia, and I deserved what she did to me. I know it’s not her fault she was helping someone she thought was her friend. But me, I invited the bitch into my home. That is on me. So is my pups kidnapping.“You are a moron, Mal. Dahlia is never going to want us now. If I could, I would fucking kill you,” Hyde snarls out in my mind as he runs alongside Aura and a few warriors. When Aura slows and turns back the way we have just came from.“What’s happening?” I ask and Aura turns her head to me.“She is at the Nightshade Pack. Dahlia is there with her team. We need to move now.” She says and howls, calling the others back to her.“She said she wanted to go home. But Nightshade was never her home. Solar Eclipse was.” I say to her and she nods in agreement as we gain speed, running through trees and leaping over small creeks. What do I do when I see my sister again?“That shouldn’t even be a fucking question, Mal. She drugged us and stole our pup. Y
