Double update tonight. Please drop any gems as we come to the end of the month đ
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 popcornâŠthe Moon Goddess that is. Watching down from her comfort, enjoying the show. Itâs 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 POVâShe belongs to meâŠto my pack.â Than declares to Alpha Hector. âIs that so?â 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 Hectorâs ear. âYouâre loving this arenât youâŠjust remember she is my wif
Alora POV Iâm walking more and more unaided. My strength is coming back to me bit by bit. Iâve 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 didnât 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 hasnât 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 canât
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 respectedâŠand thatâs how a leader should be. Firm but fair.
âNo, I have no mate.â For once, the truth. âI see.â âNo you donât actuallyâŠthe father is a human.â A moment is shared between us where he is considering me, and I him. He seems to be contemplating something, his eyes pulling away first as he exhales loudly, casting his eyes back over the patro
~ Cleo ~ Iâm well and fully the conductor of my runaway train, the train that best describes not only my continuing untruths to my family, to those that care about me the most, but the fast paced out of control journey I am taking myself onâŠno doubt on a path for collision. I had the front row
It doesnât mean that he would leave his mate for me, and I wouldnât want him to be with me just because of the baby. To spend my life loving someone who felt trapped by my side? No thank you, I would rather do this alone. As Sophia places the monitor on, my chest becomes constricted, the sudden
~ Josie ~ Iâm quiet as I move out of my bedroom not wanting to alert the household that I was heading out. It was still early and being a Sunday, no training was scheduled. There was no reason for anyone to be up early on a pack-wide rest day. Unless you were on border patrol. As long as
âJace..â She growls out at me. âOkay okay.â I playfully back away, placing my hands out in defeat. The sparing match has gone into its second hour, not one of them showing signs of defeat. They were as stubborn as each other. They were also gaining an audience, warriors and pack members comin
~ Jace ~ âNothing like throwing her in the deep end eh? Josie moves towards me, just as Callie and Knox enter onto the training field. âShe can handle it Josie, you just watch.â I smirk out as Callie gives me a wink of confidence. Knox was itching to spar against Callie, to get an idea of her
âYes, of course.â She was right, I had to keep on the path that we had chosen for ourselves. To take on the Clear Waters packâŠand Callie to be my Luna. As Josie and Knox head back towards the house, my eyes turn back towards the pack gates. Iâve never seen Jaxon bail out of the pack grounds so qui
~Jace~ âYou need to control your temper more.â Josie unfairly reprimands me as she circles around me in the courtyard outside the alpha house, her wolf shining out through her eyes. Fuck, she looks like Dad except for her red hair. Those eyes are haunting to look at just like his; grey ash turning
âTogether.â I repeat his words, thatâs all I have ever wantedâŠto be together. âTogether.â His hand raises up and cups the side of my cheek before it falls back down. I take a step forward, needing to touch him, to feel him. He was rigid, more muscular than the last time I saw him. He was still
