We are now back at her house, I was informed through the mind-link from the doctor that Freya had fainted in the hospital but refused medical attention. I put his mind at ease saying I would check in on her, which now worked as my alibi. “Did you find what you wanted?”“No…it’s as if I was wished
Hector POVI had extended my search to Alpha Jude, I needed his assistance looking into information that dated long before I set up the pack 4 years ago. Yes I had intelligence, yes I had records…but not as much as Alpha Jude who had decades, if not centuries’ worth of alpha names and pack details.
Kaia POVIf I extend my hearing far enough, I can hear the voices of the humans on the white yacht in the near distance. Their laughter now travelling on the ocean breeze. They were anchored, dressing to snorkel in the crystal blue waters that I now call my home. This was my favourite spot, the cl
Kaia POV“A surprise?”“You’ll see…” He chuckles at my slight apprehension, my eyes narrowing playfully to him in an untrusting manner. We walk back to the main grounds of the Nightshade Reformed pack, taking longer than if I walked alone. Father’s leg does slow him down. But only in body, his mind
Kaia POVAfter dinner, Father pulled Samson into his office for a private conversation. Something apparently, that was just for them to discuss together. I wanted to check the guard’s night time shift switch over anyway, which was where I was now. Things were quiet tonight at the border, but we can
Kaia POVThe pack meeting to discuss defence tactics has overrun, which if Samson wasn’t present for, I would be feeling guilty about delaying our dinner plans. But him being here himself, he is starting to get an insider’s knowledge of just how much hard work it takes to defend the borders by a num
Kaia POVI’ve spent my life being trained by my Father to protect a pack that no longer exists. Now we have this pack and I need to protect it with all my might. They cannot breach too far into the pack, they cannot get to the innocent women and children who hide away in their homes. They’ve breath
Kaia POVI was helping with the injured, this is why the hospital needed to be bigger. With an attack like this we were now running at over occupancy. There were even beds in the corridors with young males only just of age, screaming in pain. We didn’t have enough doctors or nurses, we had scraped
I had hoped to leave whilst they were still asleep “Jace?” Mum pauses in the hallway, her eyes looking towards the bags at the front door before looking up at me. “Callie and I are heading to the Clear Waters pack.” I smile out. “So soon?” Mum’s eyes look between Callie and I, before looking t
~Jace~ I let the icy cold stream of water wake me back to my senses. With the smell of alcohol being washed out of my pores I feel fully awake again. I would leave immediately, with Callie and head on to the Clear Waters pack. She will need to spend time getting to know the pack, getting used
“I’m not using her.” “Then what are you doing, because you can’t have them both.” “I don’t expect to have them both, she left last night, I didn’t go after her.” My lack of action in chasing after Cleo has sealed our fate. With that and ghosting her after the hotel night, I’ll be the last person s
~ Jace ~ “So this is where you are hiding?” An overly aggressive kick to the stomach wakes me with a start. Josie… “What do you want?” I growl out, my eyes reluctantly opening to the bright morning sunshine. A pain in my neck informing me that I hadn’t slept on a bed. I hadn’t made it back t
Just tell them Cleo, tell them who the real father of the baby is… “You’re acting Mum as if my baby is an issue, you said yourself that the entire pack was behind me…that you didn’t care about the baby’s father.” “Human or not, you are still having a baby without a mate…” Her words are like a hu
~ Cleo ~ I’m not home twenty minutes before I hear my parent’s car pulling up outside. I’m pacing the floor of my bedroom, the toxic mixture of both guilt and anger threatening to erupt out of me. She caught us, his own mate caught us together. My lips could still taste his on me, even n
“Does she even know?” “No…or at least I don’t think so.” “Why can’t you be together?” “Because I can’t lose her.” “Lose her to what?” “Being a mate of the Varon family comes with threats..” “But you can lose me?” She raises an eyebrow at me. “No…you’re twisting it…” I seethe out, the bitter
~ Jace ~ “Eh…what the fuck was that?” Josie’s growl echoes through her own cabin, bouncing off the wooden built walls. What was that, what have I just done. I lost myself in her, in the need to touch her…to be near her. I’ve potentially just ruined everything. “Josie, can you give us a minute?
too, that he wants me…. Until…he blinks, snapping out of the desire he has for me only to remind himself that I am not her. I watch it, slowly. Watch the way his eyes search mine before moving down to my lips, watch the change in his eyes…he doesn’t need to say the words, I can see it play
