Kaia POV It is half way through the banquet and I have been introduced to mostly everyone, apparently a new alpha was still expected this evening but hadn’t turned up yet. I remembered a few names from the list Aubrey talked me through but there were a lot of Alphas and Lunas to remember. Some spo
Kaia POV If Alora was in trouble, I needed to do something and it couldn’t wait. I can see eyes of the guests looking at me as I hastily move through the crowd, whispers at my change in demeanour, excusing myself as I knock elbows, squeeze past males who glimpse down my cleavage from my closeness..
Kaia POV A crowd forms, even though it is the middle of the night. Word has gotten around, plus they must feel my presence through the pack bond. Even now, more pack members come out of their front doors to my return for themselves. I wasn’t prepared for what greeted me… They are like the walki
Kaia POV “Five hours, give me five hours and my warriors can be here.” Hector slams his fist down on the desk in my alpha office. He was pissed off at me for not giving him any warning on what I have just done, on the attack I am about to launch. “Thank you Hector, but your pack is on the council
Hector POV Things had accelerated zero to hundred in a space of only a few hours. Ezra was driving, leading the convoy of vehicles to a human facility where we would launch our attack, gain access through the tunnels and up into the alpha tower. Break through their fortress from below right into t
Kaia POV “I want a gun.” I demand. “No.” He growls at me, his demonic eyes even more monstrous with the flashing overhead lighting. “Hector…Give me a bloody gun.” I insist, putting my hand out expectantly. He glares at me and I can feel the fight between our alpha auras. There was no denying how
Hector POV I knew it was too easy, that he wasn’t putting up a fight. He wanted her here. Hence this sick message he has left for my mate on his office wall. As Kaia steps out of the room I take pictures to send to the council, the council that had been swallowing up his lies. Now they will se
Kaia POVThe threat of the Shadow Rock pack had been eliminated for now.The mass majority were anxious but accepted my terms for peace and somehow, Hector had managed to get the council involved.I was relieved to hear they weren’t going to charge me with war crimes myself for the attack, and that they were being supportive in monitoring the pack.In time I would need to attend a hearing to discuss my involvement.I just wanted to secure the safety of my people, and it feels like Alora and I have finally done that. Finally the Shadow Rock and Nightshade Reformed weren’t at war, our people could finally enjoy some rest.I have to admit, I don’t think it would have gone as well as it did, had Hector not have been by my side. Maybe being an alpha myself now, I know I can’t be controlled, maybe that is what has changed…I was looking forward to some respite, to sometime at the Nightshade Reformed pack.“Kaia?”“In the office.” I respond to Hector as he calls out my name as he enters the f
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
