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
Dahlia POV.Laying here looking at the ceiling, I can’t sleep. I know something is going to happen, but I don’t know what exactly. I grab my phone and see a new message from an unknown number. I sigh and unlock my phone.?: Dah, be ready. He has taken over the other five packs. He is going to attack, so please be ready for him. I’m sorry for how it went down, but please trust me, my love. I will come for you. Give Harrison my love and tell him his daddy will be home soon. I love you Dahlia, always and forever. Mal xx.My breath catches in my throat. All of this is messing with my head. I re-read the message. Rodrick has taken the other five. So that means he has killed the alphas. Fuck.“With each alpha he slays, he will grow more powerful. But he will be no match for us, Dahlia, I promise you.” Celeste says to me. I don’t believe her. Something else is amiss.“He wants the title, not of alpha, but the most powerful of all. He can never take Venom Fang. Even when I do become the alpha
Dahlia POV.The evacuations have begun to get the residents of Venom Fang into the bunkers. I haven’t told anyone what happened between me and Selene or what she did. The fight in me has gone. I have begun tracking The Pure Rogues and I know where they are. The question is, do I leave before tomorrow or suck it up, get my ass kicked and then declare rogue?“We still fight Dah. Don’t give up so easily. Don’t lay down and be submissive. We go out swinging.” I have refused to speak to her. She, like everyone else, has betrayed me. She knew this would happen and didn’t warn me, so she can run back to mommy and fucking stay there.How much more betrayal do I need to withstand before I can be happy? Harrison and I have moved to the packhouse. When the challenge begins, the packhouse will be in lockdown. He will be safe there with the omegas.“Dahlia, where is your head at?” I turn and look at former Luna Lucy. She is kind and a nice person. I smile at her. Since she has been here, she has f
