~ Josie ~ “What’s going on?” Knox approaches me as I step out of the front door with Lobo, he has his spare motorcycle helmet in his hand. “Let’s go for a ride!” A charming smile lands across his face, his brown eyes the strongest they’ve looked in days. “A ride, right now? Dad would have a fi
I let his words sink in, my mind thinking on what he has just said. “I don’t need protecting Knox, I can protect myself. I want to build a life with you, share memories with you….not for you to only be with me to protect me. You’re my mate, not my bodyguard.” “I’m both. This is your pack, this is
~ Josie ~ Dad had spent the last few days arranging a wedding to beat all weddings. It promised to be grander than any wedding before, with alphas from other packs also in attendance. My only reservation…was keeping Mum calm and getting her down that aisle . One step at a time. I didn’t want to
“Just remember…keep your focus on Dad. He will be waiting for you at the end of the aisle.” She nods gently, before glancing at herself one final time in the mirror. Here we go… I lift her long train, gathering the excessive material in my hands; to aid her down the staircase. Praying that she do
~ Josie ~ Of course he would be here, members of the Clear Waters pack were also invited, leaving only a select few behind to keep any eye on the borders. This was a pack party on both sides after all. The celebrations were in full swing. Music played by a live performer and back up band, a
He places his arm around her shoulder, whispering something in her ear which gains a shy chuckle from her, only for him to pull her onto the dance floor. There was a time Jace and Cleo were thick as thieves, that he would defend her even to her own father…I don’t know what is going on with Jace,
~ Josie ~ “Jace!” I scream out, trying to push on the mind-link between us again but he continues to block me out. I take a step closer to him, to bridge the large distance between us, but he roars out at me. A warning not to come any closer. My wolf pushes forward in a defensive move, she wou
His face inches from mine. He was drunk, I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I hated him drunk, always have. “You need to get back to the party George, I can’t talk right now.” I try to push him off me but he doesn’t budge. “I’m not here to talk…” The corner of his lips curl up, his eyes v
I know exactly what she is thinking, how she is blaming herself for everything that has transpired just now. She is blaming herself for Alora’s death, for his death, for me being the new Alpha. “Cleo…” “I should go inside…” “No…” I grunt out, only for her to turn to look directly at Knox. “Ca
~Jace~ “You all need to go back into your homes. I’m setting a curfew until tomorrow at 10am. My warriors will patrol the grounds tonight. There will be no training at dawn, nothing until I say so. Anybody…and I mean anynbody caught out will be imprisoned …do I make myself clear?” I open the pac
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
