Dahlia POV.Stretching awake, the sunlight fills the room as I sit up in bed, fixing my vest top. Why does this always happen when wearing a vest top to bed? The girls just have to make an appearance out of the sides. Quickly rearranging my top, I pull the quilt back and make my way to the bathroom.Rubbing my eyes, I take in my appearance. Why? I have the worse case of bedhead. And the indentations on my face from the pillow. Fabulous. I grab the toothbrush and brush my teeth, turning on the shower at the same time. Once I have brushed my teeth, I use the toilet and strip out of my clothes, stepping under the hot fall of the water.Letting out a yawn that turns into a sigh, I get to work. Washing my skin and shampooing my hair. Once I’m ready, I switch the shower off and wrap my hair first up in a towel and grab another one to wrap around my body. I leave the bathroom and enter the bedroom.“Fucking hell Lucius. Could you have not told me you were here? You trying to kill me?” I say,
Malachi POV.I watch as Dahlia walks away with Alpha Lucius and I know I’m acting jealous and I shouldn’t be he is mated but it is the way he holds her and smirks at me that I know he is trying to rile me up and it’s working.I wait until they have left and leave the pack house and head to the training grounds. I begin to train the warriors harder than before, trying to release this pent up anger and frustration. After everything that transpired yesterday, I need to release it.“Well, you were a grade A moron, Mal. That we can both agree on.” Hyde has been so kindly pointing out my mistakes since last night and I try my best to block him out, but he is right. I fucked up again. I shouldn’t have said what I did to her. But words can’t be taken back and words hurt more than actually being physically wounded.“Will you give it a fucking rest? I know what I’ve done. I don’t need you reminding me about that.” I snap at him as I slam the warrior to the ground, who whimpers. Shit. I pull him
Dahlia POV.“Alpha, you have been requested at the Northern border.” I step back from Malachi.“I have to go.” I say, turning to run towards the Northern border when Malachi stops me.“Why? Am I coming on too strong? If I am Dah, I will take this at your pace.”“Malachi, I have to go, please. We will talk about this later, OK?” I kiss his lips quickly before running towards the border. I hear him curse and growl.“I’m coming with you,” he says as he jogs beside me.“Ok, but I don’t know what is going on. I have been summoned.” I say with a chuckle, and he grins at me.“Yeah, right, as if anyone can summon you,” he says, and I scoff.“Clearly they can, otherwise I wouldn’t be jogging to the Northern border now, would I?” I retort with an eye roll. Whoever this wolf is will be told. I was in the middle of confessing my truth. I was going to accept him. Duty calls, though unfortunate.I continue jogging, but notice Mal isn’t at my side. I slow down and look at him.“Mal, what’s wrong?” I
Malachi POV.“He will be safe with Dahlia. You know this Mal. You know what you have to do.” Hyde tells me and it makes me sick, knowing this is the only way to get the information we need from the pack at Solar Eclipse. If I have to play the role of mate, then so be it. Even though I know it’s bullshit. But Sapphire, sorry Elisa doesn’t know, I knew who she was from the start.Looking at Dahlia and I know she is none the wiser about what I have to do. This is only the way to protect Venom Fang and her.“Malachi Greyson, what is your decision?” I look at Alpha Destinee and she smirks slightly.“I know what you are doing Mal, be careful. Dahlia will forgive you when you return with what we need to take them down. Right now, you need to make her believe that you have made your choice. It will hurt you both, but please play along with their plan.” Her voice enters my head, and I know this is the only way.“Of course Alpha. Take care of them both. Don’t tell her until I return.” I tell he
Dahlia POV.I run and whine and whimper. How could he do this to Harrison, to me? He is a fucking selfish prick. If I ever see him again, I will kill him where he stands.How do I explain to Harrison that his father has abandoned him?“You don’t, make up some excuse that he had to go away on pack business or something,” Celeste tells me as we run towards the packhouse.We shift as we near the front steps.“Alpha Dahlia is it true?” one of the members comes to me and I look at her.“Is what true?” I ask as her as she moves closer to me.“That warrior Malachi has been banished from the pack?” I shake my head, damnit!“Yes, but his pup is not to know.” I say when I open the link to every member in the pack.“Members of Venom Fang. The rumours are true warrior Malachi Greyson has been banished. This stays with the adults. If I find out anyone has told his pup or your own pups, I will deal with you personally. I, Alpha Dahlia Blackwood, command you all not to say anything to his son.” I sa
Dahlia POV.Walking through the pack holding Harrison’s hand as he talks about what he did in daycare today. I smile down at him. It has been two weeks since Malachi was banished from the pack. Harrison hasn’t mentioned him and it’s hard.Harrison is a great pup, and the pack has helped keep him occupied. Not one person has looked at him differently, well I suppose being placed under the care of the future Alpha will do that.“Oh, I forgot. Sarah asked if I can go and play in the park at the weekend with her. Can we go?” he asks and I think Sarah. She is Joanne’s daughter.“I will see. I have something I may need to do. If I can’t, how about I ask one of the twins?” I say to him and he smiles up at me.“They are so silly. I like them.” He says with a chuckle and I chuckle too.“Yes, they are. But they are just big pups, really.” I say to him as we walk towards the house. I stop in my tracks when I see my mom standing outside with a grave look on her face. No!“Alpha Destinee.” Harriso
Malachi POV.The longer I am here, the more disgusted I have become. In the two weeks I have been here, I seen and heard things that no one should have to see or go through.When I met Rodrick, he was still pissed off at his defeat by Dahlia. Since then he has lost his daughter, his heir, and his luna, as well as the respect of more alphas. So you can imagine what seeing me did to him.He was ready to have my head because of my role in Mindy being taken down. He tried to threaten me but fail spectacularly. Especially when Hyde made his presence known. Since then he has been up my ass, however he is still weak.To prove my loyalty to him, I had to kill some slaves, and that was it. So I did. I saw it as a mercy. If they were still alive, then they would be wishing for death. This place is worse than hell. I don’t understand how he has been able to get away with this bullshit. But I am reporting back to Alpha Destinee and she is telling me about Harrison and Dahlia.The fact she has mov
Dahlia POV.After taking Harrison to daycare. I head to the geek den to find out what the twins have found. Something is telling me that their assumption that it was Malachi in that little home movie wasn’t him. But I need to be certain.“I agree. We both know the truth now that he is going along with whatever the little bitch is saying. But he wouldn’t go as far as sleeping with her, not after what she had done.” I nod in agreement at Celeste’s words as we make our way towards the twin’s room.“You two better be decent?” I say through the mind link to them and they both chuckle.“Of course we are. Goddess Dahlia, it’s like when you walked in that time to a scene you didn’t want to see. Even mom isn’t that stupid to enter our room without knocking.” I shudder at the memory.“Just be fucking decent, otherwise you will be singing soprano before the day is out. Got it?” I say as I round the corner near to their bedroom.“Fine. We are decent, though. Don’t need you having to bleach your e
