Kaia POVI was back alone, back in a home to myself. But this time was different, the pack wasn’t ignoring me. I wasn’t being shunned. Word must have got around because every morning I opened the front door to find baskets of freshly baked bread and cakes, freshly picked fruit or vegetables from t
Hector POV “How is she?” As soon as I hear Aubrey enter the alpha house I spring from my office to find her. Yes I might have put pressure on Aubrey to check on her, but she was just as concerned as I was. Kaia had distanced herself and even the pack, as a whole, was missing her bright daily smile
Hector POV“You don’t need to throw me out Hector, I’ll go. But changing a pack doesn’t end a marriage or a contract…remember that Kaia.”“As soon as I can, I’ll send my divorce papers over.” It’s her parting shot as he closes his car door. I know he has heard her, his hands are holding on to the
Kaia POV Hector talks of freeing her as if it were his responsibility, as if she were inprisoned. I suppose in a way she is, Than loves her too much to let her go…to let her leave with Hector..to let her die. He would so easily carve into me to protect her, not one thought for my life. Would she
Ezra POV I could curse myself for adding my name on to the overnight border watch roster. This was going to be a slow night. Things have been a lot quieter since the Amber Desert warriors miraculously disappeared. However, judging by the conflict caused between Alpha and Kaia, that was the Amber D
Alora POV “What’s all this?” Medea asks as she steps into the dinning room. Her eyes gazing in wonder at the breakfast banquet I prepared for her return. I had been working on this since the early hours of the morning. I was unable to sleep knowing that she would be back this morning. My levels o
Alora POV“It’s an adoption certificate.” The words exit my mouth more clumsily than I had wanted. Yet they are heard all the same. Words she clearly didn’t ever expect me to say. She stops eating, her mouth opening slightly in shock before her eyes dart to Than who remains by my side. “Ah I see.
Kaia POVI can’t think of anything worse than attending a pack party today. Attendance has been declared essential for every pack member. I was even delaying getting ready, finding anything to distract me seemed more important…even the mundane task of checking my emails. I’m late which perhaps was
I was hurting her, her movements were like that of an injured defenceless animal being coerced into the corner. Callie moves towards her, my eyes can’t tear themselves away even as Auntie Rosa moves towards me to greet me….Maya then opening the front door and announcing her arrival like the fucking
~ Jace ~ I should have taken another shot of liquid wolfsbane, the only thing that stopped my wolf from returning each time I left. There’s a reason an alpha doesn’t leave a pack unless challenged for the positon, disowned or frankly….dead. I couldn’t cope at first, thinking my wolf would claw m
But as I still have the burn on my arm from the oven…I won’t take the risk. “Do we have a marking ceremony date in the diary yet?” Dad asks out, trying to steer the conversation on to the topic of the evening. The entire reason we are here. I love Dad’s attempts to diffuse the tension but if he k
I can hear the pleasantries of Hector introducing my parents to their other guests, Jace’s mate’s parents. I don’t think I will be able to look them in the eyes knowing I am carrying their daughter’s future betrayal. “Do you need help in the kitchen?” I offer out to Kaia, anything to prevent st
~ Cleo ~ I’ve made this journey hundreds of times in my lifetime. I’ve passed the Dark Phantom main gate hundreds of time…so why when the guards stop us do I suddenly feel panic at the way their eyes look at me. They know, they must know. They all know, this was a trap. “Evening Alpha, Lu
“You are early.” Callie sighs out, her shoulders instantly sagging, any sign of the confident entrepreneur business woman disappearing at her mother’s words. I didn’t even recognise this Callie in front of me. My eyes move to Mum’s who is also picking up on the awkwardness. “Callie has been s
~ Jace ~ It was the calm before the storm. Jaxon had spent the day with a fucking smug smirk upon his face, something I wanted to beat right out of him. To say he was pissing me off was an understatement. By the time I had finished with training and pack duties it was already almost early evening
“If that is what is worrying you, then don’t let it.” “I didn’t know that.” “It’s not common knowledge, he doesn’t like to talk about it. Not because he is ashamed of it, he just doesn’t think it stops him being any less of the strong alpha that he is. And he’s right, it doesn’t.” Dad was righ
~ Cleo ~ I’m pounced on as soon as I exit my car. Mum gently guiding me out of the vehicle where she then covers my eyes to stop me from seeing anything. “Mum…” I chuckle out at her behaviour. “What’s going on?” “We have a surprise for you…no peeking okay?” “Okay.” She guides me into th
