Kaia POVI could feel Father had been pushing on my mind-link for hours, but I couldn’t stop. He would want me back, but too much needed to be done here. He had already sent Samson to check on me but I had just entered surgery and refused to leave…instead ordering Samson to help out where he could.
Hector POV It is late, or early…either way we’ve not slept and we are sitting in Beckett’s office as he shows us the borders to his lands on a map. Alora went to bed hours ago, I’ve not even had a chance to speak with her alone. She wasn’t at dinner, and barely spoke to me before retiring upstairs
Kaia POVI don’t want to wake up but I can feel gentle soft hands stroking my face, a feminine voice calling my name.“Kaia?”“What time is it?” I turn moaning into my pillow, still half asleep. Eager to go straight back to sleep as that level of dread returns to me. “It’s time for breakfast, what
Hector POVLearning from across their breakfast table that Beckett wanted to donate a kidney to Alora was shocking news. But maybe it would work. It would mean Kaia would remain untouched by the operating knife and both sisters would have a chance of a long happy life…together.Because that’s how th
Kaia POVI’ve been at the medical centre all morning and it was now coming up to lunch time, not that I’ll stop for lunch. We had too much to do. I had been checking on each patient to redress wounds and just be a hand for them to hold, I didn’t want anyone to feel alone.Alora arrives wanting to r
Hector POVMy hands go to her waist instinctively, preventing her from falling in case her legs threaten to give way. But they don’t, she’s stronger than I give her credit for. I already knew that, I don’t know why I am so surprised.“She told you?” Her eyes widen, stunned by my admission. “I’m sor
Kaia POVA few days had passed since the attack, since Hector and Jude arrived. I’ve been keeping myself busy with pack duties and at the medical centre, as has Alora. She’s been assisting me with physiotherapy sessions, supporting me in helping the injured learn to walk again. She’s been a complet
Kaia POVI could feel my face slightly pinkened from my Father’s use of his command on me. I hated it when he used it on me. I had gone years without one being able to affect me, as a powerful alpha’s daughter Than could never command me or his parents, which they also hated.Standing up, I walk out
“Yes, well he is the future alpha of this pack. Each time he takes away responsibility from Dad, his muscles expand. Once he is full on alpha, he’ll be like a brick house.” “I don’t think he likes me.” She sighs out, moving to the mirror above the sink where she checks her slightly smudged mascara
~ Jace ~ As soon as the words leave my mouth my phone vibrates in my front trouser pocket. I reach for it, pulling it out…her name flashing up on my home screen. Cleo. The one person I had hurt more than my own family…and that is really saying something. I knew what I had done, walked out on
his hand to Callie to enter into the house. Callie follows him, her long brown hair bouncing with her movement, her skin sunkissed by the recent heatwave at the hotel resort. She had travelled down in a black sports bra, black leggings and a flannel shirt which coordinated well, only enhancing he
~ Jace ~ Taking that first step back into Dark Phantom territory wasn’t easy. I didn’t call ahead, incase I changed my mind last minute. This was my home, all of my childhood memories were here. Sure, we visited the Clear Waters pack many a times, but I always feared I would never get the same
I was starting to let my body shed. “I can’t keep it.” I whisper out. “Why not?” “It would bring shame upon the family, you and Mum will never forgive me.” “When have we ever put that on you. When have we ever made you feel that way?” It pains me to see the frown form upon his face. Truthfully
“Cleo, you really should give your parents more credit.” “Sophia please.” I plead with her, my voice desperate. “You’ll need the night to sleep on it. I have an appointment first thing, be here at 8am. If you still feel the same as you do right now, then I will put measures in place…” “Thank yo
~ Cleo ~ “You’ve done a test I take it?” Doctor Sophia asks me, as I sit in the chair on the other side of her desk. I was rarely in here nowadays, compared to my childhood. Sophia’s predecessor always on standby to soothe Mum’s worries from a simple cut or graze…the normality of childhood. If I
“He’s in the shower…you know..” She shrugs with a knowing smile. He was cleaning off having just had sex with her… My heart that had already plummeted at the sight of her feels as if it is stuck in a never ending free-fall into the depths of the earth. Into darkness. “Sorry…” I mutter out as I cl
I have been in love with Jace since I was a little girl. He was a best friend that at some point I developed deeper feelings for. I couldn’t tell you the exact moment but friendship turned to love at an early age. I’ve tried to let go, but nobody else compared to him…who ever could. This baby woul
