Hector POV I hesitate as I reach the top of the stairs. “Alpha?” I feel Riley pushing on the mind-link, as I listen to Kaia run the shower in her ensuite. She wanted reassurance for my change in behaviour but her question took me off guard. I followed her, my own stupidity frustrating me as she w
Kaia POV Exhaustion took over me last night and I gave into it. I let my body rest on the bed, wrapped in the towel from my shower…waking up the next day with the morning sun beaming through the gaps in the curtains. My body succumbed to the desperate call to sleep after my euphoric sensation wit
Hector POV After breakfast I head into my office keen to continue reading the file that Jude had provided me with. From what I can understand the ancestors moved from pack land to pack land in search of their original land. But some kind of conflict occurred within the group forcing them to break
Hector POV “She’s doing well.” My jaw tenses as I feel my wolf making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. His fur was being ruffled. I did not like answering that question. “She’s forgotten everything…everything?” He looks at me with a quirked eyebrow, was he really questioning the validit
Kaia POV“Than was just delivering something…” Hector answers my subtle eye movement to him as I settle into his lap.The tension from when I entered the room was only thickening, to the point of suffocating.So this was his brother, the one that has usurped his pack…His eyes hold a privileged look to them, especially when looking at me. Holding my chin high, I nestle into Hector’s lap more…I’m not completely there but as the days continue I was starting to accept our bond. Something telling me to show this male that we are united, that we are mates.“Than…” I let his name roll off my tongue.I didn’t recognise the face but maybe saying his name would stir a memory, but no, nothing.Hector’s grip on me getting tightens. I turn my head behind to look at him, his eyes were solely focused on the male before us. He didn’t seem to like me being in here with his brother, they had some kind of history.Both males glare at one another, both fighting for dominance.“Have I met you before?” I a
Hector POV “Eyes on me!” I growl just as Kaia closes the office door. “She seems different.” He flatly states out, as his eyes move back on to me. I thought it would come back to her, that the trauma he caused would trigger her memory…that she would remember. Maybe this amnesia was a gift, maybe
Kaia POV After staying clear of the office, I hear the front door slam shut and Than’s vehicle drive away. I wasn’t in a hurry to be anywhere near him any time soon, he was odd and I wanted to know more from Alora. It made more sense why she was keen to remain at the Nightshade Reformed pack when
Hector POV The Doctor bursts through the door, as Kaia slowly stands up as I rip her towards me, placing her safely within my arms, pissed off at myself for letting her get so close to potential danger. Something was wrong…something was wrong through the bond with Rosa. She wanted to cause harm, sh
I may not have been the one that caused Josie’s attack or the attack on the pack but I had been silent. I had ghosted my entire family…who had been through hell. Who had clearly needed me. Shame washes over me. “Look had I of known I would have…” “Stayed? I don’t know why the fuck you left for
~ Jace ~ “I knew you shouldn’t have come.” Josie turns to Knox, removing his arm from around her just as I push my chest into his. “What the fuck is your problem?” I growl out, my eyes now inches from his. He might be pissed at me, just like the rest of my family, but what gives him the right
“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
