At first I feel more clarity, less guilt towards Alora for caring for Kaia…for betraying my mate bond with Alora…who had given up on me for Than. This wasn’t as easy as taking the second sister, Kaia wouldn’t be second best, I just knew Alora first. But Kaia wouldn’t see it as that. And I’m starti
Kaia POVI lost track of time by the cliffs, which is always easy for me to do. But when the sun started to fade and the moon grew in strength, I started to feel both Alora and Father pushing on my mindlink, eager for me to come back.My walk back was slow, my footsteps felt heavy…unnatural. Really
Kaia POVI’m angry at everyone. At Father, for him so easily putting his life on the line. I get it, she was his daughter and he spent years thinking she was dead. He wanted to show her what a father’s love is, that he can protect her…keep her safe. But that doesn’t stop the anger rising in the pit
Hector POVWe are afforded warriors from the Nightshade Reformed pack to join us in our journey to the Shadow Rock pack lands. But I only leave Beckett’s borders when I feel the pack link connection with my Beta Ezra grow in strength. He was close by and would almost be with Kaia. If he, my most tr
Kaia POV“Watch me!” My mind refuses to so easily forget his parting words. In fact, it’s all I can think about as Alora and I sit on the cliff tops, letting the hours pass before she needs to go to the medical centre for her pre-op assessment. I was worried, I was scared.I had only just found Alo
Kaia POV“Where are you going?” Ezra starts walking with me. “I need to stop Father…”“Luna!”“Just…stay here with Alora. Please Ezra, as long as she is here, he can’t get to her.” I don’t wait for Ezra to confirm that he will follow my request, I’m too hasty in my exit. Running in the direction o
Alora POVI wanted to hurt him, like he hurt her.But he was still my everything…my joy, my heart…my soul.“Alora?” He gasps out as his eyes start to sting from the impact of my fist reaching his nose. I had put a lot of effort into the throw of that punch, as I place my hand back down by my side I
Hector POV“Ezra…Ezra talk to me!” As soon as I feel my link to my beta kick in, I push on it with strong force. “She’s fine…” “What happened? I felt a surge through the mate bond.”“You felt that? Kaia rejected Than.”“Than? He’s there?”“Not for much longer. If he doesn’t leave soon I think Beck
“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
