#Chapter144"I'm sorry for what I did," Carson whispered. I took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling but kept hold of his hand. "I don't think I can forgive you," I whispered. I felt his hand shake and a sob escape him. "Cal, I'll be outside. I'll give you two some time to talk." He mentioned. I sat up and panic set in. "Don't leave me," I whined. "Baby, I'll be right outside." He sighed and came over to me. He gave me a short kiss and stroked my face with his thumb as he pulled back.He walked out of the room and I sighed. "So, he's your mate?" Carson asked. I took a deep breath and pressed a button on the bed to raise it. The pain was there but wasn't as bad. Being near him was working. I nodded and glanced at him. He'd raised his bed and was staring at me. "You... You look good." He muttered. I scoffed and rolled my eyes, "I didn't look good." I snarled.He winced and took a deep breath, "I have no excuse for what I did, I shouldn't have done it. One minute I was fine, I wa
#Chapter145The pain vanished as soon as we decided to give ourselves another chance. I don't like what he did but I do understand... I would have definitely done the same thing for him if the shoe was on the other foot."So, you have a wolf." He lifted his brow and smiled at me. "And you're white and have powers." He nodded. "Just the teleporting. I don't remember doing it though, but I guess I was too focused on getting Malia away from Dom." I sighed. "When did you shift?" He asked. "Not long ago at all, a couple of days ago," I replied.I told him everything. He listened and never interrupted once. We spent hours just talking and catching up. He's learned how to control his wolf, although he's calmed down since Lillian came into the world. I can feel how sincere and shocked he is about everything that went on. Dom left to sort something out with the pack but kept checking in on me now and again."So, what about dad? Can he stay?" He asked. I snapped my eyes to him and shook my
#Chapter146After we left the hospital, we went back home to the packhouse, straight to our room. He was insatiable and he was proving his point that he was always hard for me as he said. "Dom, we need to go downstairs or something." I groaned as he stared at me from the end of the bed, his eyes hooded with lust. "Fuck no, Dom. I'm sore everywhere." I hissed. He chuckled and nodded, "Same, but I wanted to fuck your negative thoughts out of you." He replied, "Did it work?" He lifted his brow smirking. "I think you fucked everything out of me, honestly." I sighed. He chuckled and reached up. I backed away, chuckling. "Relax, Cal. I just want a cuddle." He whined. I held my arms open and he laid across my body, tangling our legs together. "Are you happy?" He asked. "I am, babe. I was afraid I wouldn't ever feel this happy but the fates are on our side." I sighed happily and scratched my fingers through his hair. He made a sort of purring sound as I did. I chuckled and kissed his hair
#Chapter147I strolled into the office, Amaris was sat on the sofa with some files spread out on the table. "Hey love," She greeted as she glanced up. I smiled at her and looked down at the files. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Sit down, Cal," Dom replied, I turned and looked at him. He patted a chair next to him behind his desk. I went over and took a seat. "Can I ask you something?" I looked at Amaris. She nodded and smiled at me, "Is... Is Malia dead?" I muttered. She took a deep breath, "Yes." She whispered. "I'm sor-" I shook my head and gave her a small smile. "No need to be sorry. I was expecting it, I just wanted to be sure she couldn't hurt anyone else." I answered. I took a deep breath and decided that I wouldn't waste another second on my past, it's time to move forward. "So, what's going on?" I asked, glancing between them all. "We've been looking for someone to fill your position, Caleb," Rhydian explained. I nodded slowly, "You're going to be Alpha with me, we
#Chapter148I stood in front of the pack with Dom by my side. Mason and Ruby were on the other side of Dom and I felt content. The pack meeting was the first thing on the agenda today, he's got a whole fucking day planned. I don't think he realises we actually need to do some work for the pack, not just do each other.Everything was finally coming together, no more questions that needed answers. I was happy for once and loved, I was loved by so many people, at times it was overwhelming. Sometimes I think this is all a dream and any minute now I'm about to wake up. But it's not a dream, everything is real. My life is good."Thank you all for attending this pack meeting," Dom spoke clearly, getting the attention of all the pack. "As you all know, Caleb is our Beta but because he's my mate, he deserves a higher position." He started. The pack nodded and hummed in agreement. My chest swelled with pride, looking around at the crowd. I could see Henry stood in the back with a serious
#Chapter1494 years later.I pulled on the blazer and straightened it out, looking in the mirror. I don't understand why I have to wear a suit, it's not like I can fight in a suit. It's been 2 years since I took the Alpha position with Dom. Everything has been quiet, there have been no rogue attacks in about a year and a half. We have settled into a nice routine together. "You look fucking amazing." Dom groaned. I grinned at him through the mirror, he was stood in the doorway with his arms crossed. "Why do I have to wear this though?" I grumbled. He chuckled and walked towards me. I spun around and held my hand up, "Oh, no, get back." I warned. His eyes darkened and he chuckled. "I was just going to straighten your tie out." He shrugged. I shook my head, "You have that look in your eye that makes me want to drop my trousers, we can't be late for this." I rolled my eyes as he threw his head back laughing. "You shouldn't look so good in that outfit." He breathed, scanning his eye
#Chapter1505 years later.I groaned, pacing back and forth. "If you don't hurry up, I'm going to leave without you!" I yelled. "Come on, Addi will be at the hospital soon." I groaned. "I'm here, chill ou- why the fuck are you naked?" He growled. I turned and chuckled. "We're shifting, I'm not getting dressed just to shift and shred my clothes." I rolled my eyes. "We live in the middle of nowhere, away from the pack, no one will see." I grinned. He rolled his eyes and moved towards the door. We both shifted. I glanced over at him and rubbed my fur against his before we darted off through the forest. We reached the packhouse quicker than I expected. I shifted back and pulled on some clothes that had been left for me. I turned to see Dom staring at me, "What?" I shrugged. "Do you remember this tree?" His voice was thick with lust and I could smell his arousal. "No, Dom. Not know." I groaned. He chuckled and nodded his head. "If Addi wasn't about to give birth, I'd take you back o
#Chapter1518 years later.I groaned and rested my head against the desk. "Have you spoken to Mason and Leon yet?" Dom asked. I mumbled a reply, one he obviously couldn't hear with my face pressed against the desk. "I'm not even sure that was English." He chuckled. I lifted my head and playfully glared at him, "You've known me twenty years, you should understand my mumbling." I chuckled. "Twenty years... How have I coped?" He groaned then smirked at me. Twenty years have passed and I'm still besotted with him. I'm obsessed with him as much as I was when I was younger, nothing has changed. "So your reply... In English please." He scoffed. I chuckled and leaned back in the chair. "I... Haven't... Spoken... To... Them..." I relayed slowly. "Ok, smartass." He rolled his eyes. "You love my ass." I retorted. "Yes, I do." He remarked. I chuckled and opened the drawer and pulled out the first file. "Ok, before you jump on me... I'll link Mase and get him to bring Leon down." I mentioned,
#Chapter303WHEREVER YOU GO, I GO“So, we’re going to live in the palace forever?” Callie asked.Brody glanced at me with his brow raised. We haven’t discussed what’s going to happen. I still want to be part of the royal guard, but now I have someone else to think about.What does Brody want to do with his life? Would he be happy staying in the palace? There are all these little things we’re going to have to deal with.Until the threat to my life, well all our lives are dealt with, the best place for us is the palace. But after that, I need to think about Brody and Callie, not just myself.“I don’t know about the future, but yes, for now, we’re staying at the palace.” I answered. “Is that okay with you both?”“I like the palace. I like my bedroom. I like your family. I want to stay.” Callie answered.I smiled at her and nodded. “I’m glad you like it here.”I glanced to Brody, he seemed deep in thought. He smiled sweetly at me and took hold of my hand and Callie’s.“Wherev
#Chapter302LITTLE DETAILSI have no idea how I’m feeling right now, there are so many thoughts running through my mind.I’m confused why I’ve got a mate and a beloved. I know we have a family history of having two... Nanna Ayla had two mates, but they think that was because of the prophecy, and Grandad Leon was always supposed to be her true mate, but never in my wildest dreams would I have expected me to have a mate and a beloved.I’m happy, elated, absolutely over the moon at the fact Brody is my beloved. He’s everything I wanted in a beloved. He’s thoughtful, caring, and a decent being. I’m certainly lucky to have been blessed to spend my life with him.But I’m also worried. No, I’m absolutely petrified. When Luca finds out I’m also destined for someone else, I don’t even want to think about what he’d do. He’s going to be angry and jealous, and that’s a dangerous combination. Jealousy can make even the nicest people do wrong things. Luca is deranged and definitely wo
#Chapter301HIS SCENT“So, you and Brody?” Olivia smirked as she placed some pieces of fruit in five bowls.“I know that face, Liv. There is nothing going on.” I groaned, “we’re just friends.”“Friends definitely don’t look at each other the way you two do.” She snickered.Olivia placed the knife onto the kitchen island and looked at me with a serious expression. She leaned against the kitchen island, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.“In all seriousness, how are you doing now you’re back?” She asked.I took a deep breath, then smiled at Olivia.“I’m glad to be back.” I sighed, “really glad to be back”.”“We’re glad to have you back,” she smiled sweetly. “Are you going with Brody when he gets his scent back?”I nodded and pushed away from the kitchen island. “He’s nervous about it, so I want to be there for him.”"You just want to know what he smells like." Allie quipped.She’s not wrong. I am intrigued to know what his scent is like. When I
#Chapter300WISHFUL THINKINGI halted in the doorway and frowned. My eyes darted around my dad’s office. My dad was sitting behind his desk with his arms crossed over his chest, with Mum perched on a chair beside him holding his arm. Coby and Ryder were standing by Uncle Elias and Uncle Levi in deep conversation. Grandad Leon and Nanna Ayla were behind Mum and each had their hands on her shoulder."No matter what they have to tell us, I’m here, we go through this together." Allie promised. ”We’re stronger than the rogues."They all looked to me with hints of anger and worry all over their faces.“So, what’s wrong?” I questioned as I moved further into the office, and Brody closed the door behind us.“You might want to sit down, sweetheart.” Dad instructed, pointing to the sofas on the other side of the room.I led Brody towards the sofas and made sure he was sat next to me. I’m going to need him close if I’m going to get through this. Mum and Dad joined us, sitting
#Chapter299THE PLACE IS A MAZE“Lila, sweetheart, wake up.”My eyes shot open, and I stared blankly ahead at Brody’s chest; we must have fallen asleep. It took me a few seconds to register, it was my mum’s voice. I peered over my shoulder. My mum was standing beside my bed, awkwardly shuffling side to side on her feet.I sat slowly to try and not wake Brody, and turned completely to Mum.“Everything okay?” I asked.“I’m sorry, Lo.” She sighed, “I didn’t want to enter your room without your permission, but it’s important, baby.”“Sure. What’s wrong?” I asked.She shook her head and took a deep breath.“Dad is waiting for us in his office.”I raised my brow, then nodded.“Okay, give me a minute,” I sighed.I leaned forward and grabbed the comforter from the bottom of the bed and pulled it over Brody.“Brody should probably hear this as well.” She mumbled.“Meet you at Dad’s office then?” I suggested.Mum nodded her head and took a deep breath
#Chapter298A LITTLE NEEDYCallie was over the moon with her bedroom, the smile never left her face. When I showed Brody his room, she didn’t want to come, she wanted to stay in her bedroom and play with her new toys. I didn’t blame her though, she had plenty to choose from, my parents definitely spoiled her.I left Brody to settle in his room, get a shower or whatever he wanted to do. I showed him which room mine was, and that if he or Callie needed me, they could come to my room.I stood in the middle of my room and dragged in a shaky breath. The last time I was in here, I was with Olivia when we were getting ready for my birthday party. I was starting to feel overwhelmed and anxious. Being alone in the room gave me a weird feeling. I need to not think about before and anything that happened. If I think too much, I may just be heading for a mental breakdown."Can we talk?" Brody’s voice filled my mind, and the little anxiety I was beginning to feel about being alone sl
#Chapter297STUPID SOUNDPROOF ROOMSI introduced Callie to the boys after getting the sweetest hello from them. They definitely missed me as much as I missed them. All four of them clung to me for ages. But the meeting between Callie and the boys was cute and warmed my heart. They were certainly excited to meet her. They got on really well, and I knew they would do.We spent time playing in the playroom while Brody was with my dad. I was glad I was with them, because it took my mind off my dad and Brody; it kept me occupied enough that my mind wasn’t constantly thinking about what is being said. I know Brody won’t tell them anything about what happened to me, but part of me wishes he did, because then I wouldn’t have to. Although Brody doesn’t know everything, I mean, he gets the gist of it, but he wasn’t always there."I’ll be there when you tell them. I’ve got your back." Allie cooed."I’m so lucky to have you."When Brody came to the playroom, I heard him and Corbo
#Chapter296FIERY SPIRITBrody’s POV.His eyes went wide, then he cleared his throat and straightened himself out. “You know about our history?” He questioned, raising his brow and leaning forward.I nodded. “Yeah, my mother um, told me after I met Alora.”“And you still saved my daughter?” He questioned.“I’m not my mother. Alora is special, nothing like what they said hybrids were. I had to get her out of there.” I answered.A broad smile appeared on King Alarix’s face as he nodded and sat back with his arms folded.“The guy that pulled her away, who is he?” Corbon asked.I furrowed my brows. “I wasn’t there, so I don’t know what happened, but I assume you’re talking about Luca.” I replied.“And who is this Luca?" Corbon growled.“He’s a wolf, but I don’t know much about him. I can’t tell you anything else though, it’s not my place to say.” I sighed.“The hell you can’t.” Corbon growled. “Tell me about him.”“That’s enough, Corbon.” King Alarix
#Chapter295WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOUBrody’s POV.I followed King Alarix through the palace. It was huge, I don’t think I have ever seen something so grand. When I think of palaces, I imagine old fashion colour schemes, but this isn’t anything like it. The palace is modern and open planned, lots of space.“Just around this corner.” King Alarix mentioned over his shoulder.I nodded and smiled at him. My mind kept going back to the reunion between Alora and her family. Everything we went through getting out of that place, seeing them all together, was so worth it. I don’t think I have ever seen a mum and dad fawn so much over their children. It was heartwarming to witness.My dad died when I was young, so I don’t remember anything about him. Callie’s dad tried, but my mother wasn’t very maternal, so she complained whenever he showed Callie an ounce of love and affection.Our children need to grow up to be leaders, do not make them weak.Showing love and affection does
