Double update tonight. Please drop any gems as we come to the end of the month š
Kaia POVIt is the day of the banquet and to say I got any sleep last night would be wholly untrue. The pack looks incredible though, the Dark Phantom pack sure know how to dress for an occasion. Row upon row of outdoor lights hang everywhere. There were even fire pits that had been installed to l
Hector POV I knew he was here. My guards at the gate informed me the second he arrived, I had instructed them to do so. A small collection of guards were also ordered to escort him onto the main pack lands, to not give him a window of opportunity to snoop. I know I had planned this, that I wanted
Kaia POVShe must have popcornā¦the Moon Goddess that is. Watching down from her comfort, enjoying the show. Itās the only way this weird twisted situation could be happening. Within seconds of finding me Than is already trying to talk me into retuning home with him. To trade in my new life and go b
Kaia POVāShe belongs to meā¦to my pack.ā Than declares to Alpha Hector. āIs that so?ā Alpha Hector remains calm in front of a fiery force, almost finding Than amusing. With a scoff, Than leans forward, his lips just by Alpha Hectorās ear. āYouāre loving this arenāt youā¦just remember she is my wif
Alora POV Iām walking more and more unaided. My strength is coming back to me bit by bit. Iāve still not got much of an appetite, my stomach having shrunk from not eating for so long. I was eating pathetic portions every 2 hours to rebuild my stomach. But even then it was proving challenging. It
Than POVOf all the places she had to wind up there, with him..I was escorted of the Dark Phantom pack grounds but believe me, I didnāt want to stay a moment longer there than I had to. I just wished I had been able to drag her back with me. But he already had his sharp claws into her. As soon a
Hector POV Than hasnāt given me a chance to think, which no doubt was part of his strategic plan. His warriors remain positioned away from our borders. Close enough to keep a watchful eye on movement in and out of the pack grounds, but too far away for me to consider it an imminent threat. I canāt
Kaia POV Hector still remained an enigma to me, but hopefully an enigma that I was starting to unravel. I think like me, he found trusting difficult. His reputation as being a cold ruthless alpha is warranted, but within his pack he was respectedā¦and thatās how a leader should be. Firm but fair.
~ Josie ~ āWhat, this isnāt his pack?ā āNo, best thing Dad did was hire him. Thatās why he doesnāt get involved in the politics hereā¦most of it is powerplay amongst the pack members that also work here. Heās here for the patients.ā āWhy am I just hearing about this?ā Kitās voice is low, his eyes
Iāll be that axe that cuts his head off. I lay Red gently down on the bed, my disbelief at her current state, of not even knowing what had happened. I turn to look at him, back at her. Her dress had been ripped up to her thighs, her face had an imprint of being backhanded and she had blood acros
~ Knox ~ āMaybe I should go after himā¦see what I have done to affend him?ā Cleo continues to chew at her fingernails, she had been a nervous wreck since Jace stormed out, Josie following him. āI keep telling you Cleo, you havenāt done anything wrong. Itās his problem, not yours. Just leave him to
His face inches from mine. He was drunk, I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I hated him drunk, always have. āYou need to get back to the party George, I canāt talk right now.ā I try to push him off me but he doesnāt budge. āIām not here to talkā¦ā The corner of his lips curl up, his eyes v
~ Josie ~ āJace!ā I scream out, trying to push on the mind-link between us again but he continues to block me out. I take a step closer to him, to bridge the large distance between us, but he roars out at me. A warning not to come any closer. My wolf pushes forward in a defensive move, she wou
He places his arm around her shoulder, whispering something in her ear which gains a shy chuckle from her, only for him to pull her onto the dance floor. There was a time Jace and Cleo were thick as thieves, that he would defend her even to her own fatherā¦I donāt know what is going on with Jace,
~ Josie ~ Of course he would be here, members of the Clear Waters pack were also invited, leaving only a select few behind to keep any eye on the borders. This was a pack party on both sides after all. The celebrations were in full swing. Music played by a live performer and back up band, a
āJust rememberā¦keep your focus on Dad. He will be waiting for you at the end of the aisle.ā She nods gently, before glancing at herself one final time in the mirror. Here we goā¦ I lift her long train, gathering the excessive material in my hands; to aid her down the staircase. Praying that she do
~ Josie ~ Dad had spent the last few days arranging a wedding to beat all weddings. It promised to be grander than any wedding before, with alphas from other packs also in attendance. My only reservationā¦was keeping Mum calm and getting her down that aisle . One step at a time. I didnāt want to
