Kaia POV “That will be gone soon enough…” He leans into me, his fingers touching Hector’s mark on my neck…a shudder runs down my spine. My wolf, not liking another male touching us lunges me forward snapping my teeth at him. He jumps back, the restraints pull me back…preventing me from moving clo
Kaia POV “That he killed your Mother?” His words hit me square on in the chest, forcing all the air from my lungs. “What are you talking about?” I crawl along the bed as best as I can and on my knees by the headrest, the length of the bed acting as a deterrent between him and me. It, for now, was
Kaia POV Whether he meant to give me less sedative or he knew what he was doing, I’m not sure…but Samson had given me enough to make my body numb but not my eyes or brain. My eyes watch over his shoulder looking behind at the abandoned building that had been their base whilst keeping us captive.
Hector POV Samson the bastard had let me watch him carry Kaia out of the dungeons, my own mate in another male’s arms. Mine…she was mine. I could feel my life leaving me, feel my end coming. The knife that was still wedged between my chest plate was only centimetres away from my heart..a little
Hector POV With her lifeless body in my arms I run from the house, my eyes searching for a car to get us as far away from this hell hole as possible. My eyes find a car ahead, that seems to have crashed into a large tree trunk on the side of the road. I rip open the back passenger door, very ca
Hector POV The car just about gets us to the main central area of the pack, it had been hit hard when it collided with the tree and the engine gives out. Escorted into the Red Thorn pack, I don’t give the warriors an opportunity to open the car doors before I am in the back seat pulling Kaia out.
Hector POV “I didn’t realise you were a softy for damsels…” Orpheus finds mine and Kaia’s current situation laughable. “If your men hadn’t of stopped me, I’d be almost to my pack.” I bite back, not appreciating his sense of humour as my mate continued to lay unconscious in my arms. “You know the
Kaia POV As soon as I wake I know I am still restrained by the ropes. They lay heavy across my chest and torso. Yet rather than causing me pain, I am so delirious by their touch, by their hold that they create tingles…sparks that dance instead of eat away at my flesh. I try to wriggle out of the
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
