“What’s going on?” I asks as I walk past Knox’s motorbike towards them. “Change of plan.” Knox’s eyes scan the length of me before he bites down on his bottom lip, my heart racing from his reaction at seeing me. Will it always be like this, will it always be this lustful, I think it will be. H
~ Knox ~ I should have known a quiet drive in the country lanes would be off the cards now. Hector was already waiting by my cycle when I came back downstairs, his warriors already assembled and waiting. At least he agreed to me driving Josie just the two of us. I didn’t fancy a back full of warri
“Fine, but it’s waiters and chefs that have been approved only.” “What about him?” I gesture my head to the man standing at mine and Josie’s table. On closer inspection he doesn’t even have menus in his hand. She turns, her eyes meeting mine…a look upon them that I didn’t need a mind-link with h
~ Josie ~ “Just slow down…he might have been lying.” Knox’s hand moves from the car’s gear stick and on to my upper thigh. No doubt he could sense my wolf, she was pushing against me. It was like she was biting down on a bone and wanted more. She wasn’t willing to give up until she knew everyth
“What has Auntie Alora got to do with this?” Jace was the one to ask the question swirling around my head. “I have a younger half brother, his name is Than Sable and he is the Alpha of the Amber Desert pack.” Dad turns to us but keeps his reassuring hands on Mum. “An Alpha?” My voice repeats.
~ Josie ~ “You married someone before meeting your mate?” I can’t stop the words that blurt out of my mouth. In some twisted romanticised way I always thought Mum and Dad had always existed as one. To think of Mum with someone else…married to someone else before being with Dad, before having us…se
~ Josie ~ I follow Mum as she moves back towards the sofa, curling her feet up as she flicks the television back on. Her eyes stare at the screen but I can tell she isn’t watching it, just making herself look like she is. She is lost in thought, lost in memory. “Mum?” I softly try to regain her
~ Knox ~ We greet the warriors outside, the leader nodding to me as I stand next to Jaxon. “Is Miss Josie okay?” His eyes firmly locked on mine. “She’s fine, I don’t think he was a real threat.” “Yes, I think it was just a case of wrong timing. The bouncers on the door said he entered with
I move towards Callie wrapping my arms around her shoulders and placing a kiss on the top of her head. She was mine, I had to act like she was mine. The distant ringing of the telephone from the Alpha office is heard, Mum leaving the kitchen to answer it. Her soft joyful tones at the caller no
~ Jace ~ It felt good to be in wolf form, liberating. Not having to watch my back, be mindful of being seen…here, I could be free to roam the fields and woodlands of the Dark Phantom pack lands. I could shift as many times I want without fear of being seen by a human. I had been on border
But as soon as Jace finds out he is the father, then all hell will break loose. The relationship between the Varon’s and us will become strained. Which will isolate my brother as alpha. That is a risk I cannot take. “Cleo?” Concern is edged upon my brother’s face, his brows furrowing as he moves
~ Cleo ~ Jace has found his mate? The words that leave Mum’s lips are like a thousand knives being stabbed into my heart. My heart…not bleeding out, no that would be far too easy. Instead it feels as if my heart has been torn into a million tiny pieces…then set on fire…just to really make s
“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
