Kaia POV A wall, it’s the only way I can describe it…a wall designed to create fear amongst my people. They all look the same, all dressed the same, both the males and females. Dressed in black. Shadows…they look like shadows threatening the destruction of the Nightshade Reformed pack. They ar
Kaia POVA high pitched noise sounds from the wall of fighters, some kind of signal before they start chanting battle cries to one another.Or to us…to intimidate us.It was working, I look to my people…they were tired, they had fought enough for two lifetimes. They just wanted peace, they just want to live.But surrender isn’t an option, not if they want to protect their families, their friends.They don’t know my Father’s sins, they don’t know of the past. They just know of the Alpha that gave them a second chance, and for their sake I would keep up with the pretence.“I haven’t been the strong Alpha you deserve since my Father’s passing. I’ve been too stuck in my own head, in trying to make sense of what had happened to me.But, like my Father, I believe in you, I believe in the Nightshade Reformed pack.We haven’t settled here for any other reason than the lands reminded my Father of his mate’s pack, of my Mother’s pack.But these fighters, these warriors, they won’t let us surrend
Hector POV My fingers slip through her white fur as she blurs past me. I’m fighting three fighters off me that seem to be on some kind of steroids, on top of being the strongest warriors I have ever fought. She has just done the one thing I asked her not to do…she has just shifted. As soon as s
Kaia POV I can’t get to him…I can’t help him. There are just too many… I’m exhausted…we are exhausted. She wants to shift back, she needs the break but one poorly executed move and we will be executed ourselves. I won’t let them take me, I’d rather die. Neverending, they just keep coming.
Kaia POVI fight that call to give in, to rest…I can’t.Fear of not waking up is what is keeping my eyes open.I watch as Marc starts to crawl back towards the White Moon alpha, the coward who doesn’t join his fighters, only commands them to their deaths. I have no respect for such a leader.A few of my warriors move to Marc but I want him alive, he will provide valuable information and I will extract it from him.“I want him alive.” I order out from the mind-link as my warriors box him in. Hector’s wolf preventing Marc from gertting any further as he bites down on his foot and drags him towards my warriors.Their numbers were dwindling thanks to the aid of the Amber Desert warriors, their arrival has given us the leverage we needed to potentially claim back this fight…but then I see the fighers still with the alpha of the White Moon pack, the ones that haven’t been released on to us yet.What are they waiting for, what was he waiting for.My eyes lock with him, my jaw tensing as I cha
Kaia POVThe white noise turns into something else…flashbacks.My entire life was flashing before me, not because I was on the brink of death but because my amnesia was leaving me.I was remembering everything, and it was painful.“Kaia…what is it, what’s wrong?” I feel Alora cling to my side suddenly, her voice a panicked tone.“Get the Doctor…quick.”“No…I don’t need the doctor.” I pant out as the seering pain continues. It’s too much all at once, my mind can’t cope with it. I feel as if my head is being split open…Until, it suddenly stops…and I am back.Like a plug has been switched on, as if nothing was ever the matter. My memory returning to me as if it never left.I can feel my heart pounding in my chest as my eyes dart around the room.“Alora..” He reaches for her, he reaches to get her away from me. As if I would be a danger to her.That déjà vu, it wasn’t déjà vu…it was somekind of warning.Some kind of memory.“Get away from her!” A demonic growl emits from me, as I pull her
Hector POV Marc is captured and Kaia’s warriors are moving him into the cells. Ezra and I are watching the last few attackers being taken down before we feel ready to announce the battle has been won in our favour. Kaia’s gift had completely switched the battle, saving us all. But something felt w
Kaia POV I’d give them a chance to say goodbye at least, they may have broken the mate bond but I’ll grant them their final words to one another. I just don’t want to be around to see it. I was heading towards the cells, my warriors had informed me that Marc was being held there and he was gain
“I mean, did somebody force you…” “What, no Mum, of course not. Why would you say such a thing?” Why would she ever think that, what a thing to say. “Well whose is it…somebody within this pack?” “No…” I close my eyes. Here we go. “Okay, so another pack…which one?” “Mum..can we not do thi
~ Cleo ~ “I don’t think I can do this.” I felt nauseous with the nerves that were crippling my body. Telling Dad was one thing…I didn’t actually tell him, Doctor Sophia informed him as the Alpha. But to say the words out loud to Mum….I don’t think I can muster the courage. “I’ll be right ne
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
