“I can’t always be what other people need of me.” He mutters almost to himself but I hear it. There’s a sadness in his voice, something that I wouldn’t expect from Jace. “I get that, but next time stay and tell us…rather than giving us all the cold shoulder.” My head whips to the front door as I
~ Josie ~ “All fighters to the meadow…NOW!” Dad commands through the pack-link, his aura thick and heavy. I move, taking a step closer towards the location of the scene, towards my family, to Lobo…who needs me. Hopefully, it is one or two rogues that have penetrated through the borders in a desp
My sight, with my wolf now, is clearer. I can see everything with clear vision, even at this distance. My heart sinks when the naive hope that it was a handful of rogues disappears. It’s a swarm, an invasion of fully kitted gun bearing hunters. Our wolves are taking them down but not quick enough…b
~ Josie ~ I can hear they are close by, at least one of them in the dining room. Keeping crouched down low, I move behind the furniture, using it as a source to hide behind until the very last moment. They made a mistake coming here, this was my home. I knew every part of this house, every co
~ Knox ~ The bullets were not silver…that at least was something. I watch in horror as a bullet hits Kaia, knocking her to the ground. Images of me holding a weeping Josie flit through my mind. How am I going to tell her…how am I going to break her heart. Only for relief to quickly wash over
“Catch them…we need them alive for questioning.” Hector orders out, as he coughs up blood. I tilt his body to the side only for him to wince out in pain from the stab wound. “Let me help you.” Kaia’s hands are over his face, kisses placed upon his lips. “No.” He orders out. “Get me to the hosp
~ Josie ~ Nothing prepares you for this. You know it is coming but yet…I’m not ready for this. I’m not ready to lose him. It’s too soon. “Dad?” I scream out as I push through the double doors into the emergency room ward of the hospital, my first instinct was just to come here. To assess his in
“Don’t you fucking dare!” Knox’s vicious growl would perhaps stop me any other time, when it wasn’t a life or death situation. But there’s nothing he can do or say to stop me from doing this. As I take a step closer, Knox firmly grips my wrist and pulls me, making me collide with his firm chest.
Jace I’m toying with him, I could have killed him by now. But that would be too easy, he deserves a slow…painful death. A death that has come from him losing…from being defeated. I want him to bleed each drop of blood before I take his life. He dared to think he could have what was mine, to ta
The more it continues the bloodier it gets. Thick blood sprays across the courtyard ground, the smell of it churning my insides…just the thought of Jace bleeding is sending me into a frantic state of panic…one that I refuse to sink into. I had to remain strong, I had to mask any emotion. I couldn’
~ Cleo ~ “No Jace, you can’t do that.” I gasp out. “Oh yes I can.” “But the Clear Waters. It’s your destiny, your birth right…I wouldn’t expect that from you.” No…no this is messed up, he can’t do that. Not for me. I wouldn’t want him to do that. “You are my destiny Cleo, not lands…not a t
“Your Luna? Are you fucked up in the head?” Jaxon responds as Jace seethes by his side. Trying to keep his wolf contained. “Cleo is my luna, the pack’s luna…and the child..” Than stops, an almight roar bellowing out of Jace, a smirk forming across his face before he continues. “…will be my heir.
~ Cleo ~ The three of them prowl towards us…like gods disguised in human form that threaten to release a new hell on earth. Their kind of hell. They walk side by side until Jace takes a wider stride forward, a triangle formation settling amongst the three of them. Warriors creep in behind the
“Still spreading lies I see.” Medea’s tongue clicks out. “Why would they lie about this? Why would Kaia lie about that.” I almost spit out of her, anger boiling within me. “She’s a pathological liar. Everything she says is a lie.” “No…I’ve known her my entire life. She’s nothing like that…” “
~ Cleo ~ The screams increase…their desperate cries becoming more frantic…and my heart breaks when I hear children crying out. No matter what has happened between Than and my family, the pack members were the innocent ones and I refused to let them be punished for accepting me. “Alpha?” Beta
“All me, I fucking know.” I sigh out, releasing my hold on him and running my hands through my hair. “What do you want to do?” Jaxon takes a step closer to me, his jaw tense…his eyes burning with rage. “Who the fuck is this Than? I need her away from him, no matter what…if he thinks he can claim
~ Jace ~ “Jace…JACE!” A hard slap around my face forces my eyes wide open, my jaw aching as both Knox and Jaxon stand above me. My eyes search the room…Josie was passed out on the floor, Callie crouched down beside her holding her hand. “What happened?” I grunt out, rubbing my jaw line, tryin
