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
~ Knox ~ “Maybe I should go after him…see what I have done to affend him?” Cleo continues to chew at her fingernails, she had been a nervous wreck since Jace stormed out, Josie following him. “I keep telling you Cleo, you haven’t done anything wrong. It’s his problem, not yours. Just leave him to
I’ll be that axe that cuts his head off. I lay Red gently down on the bed, my disbelief at her current state, of not even knowing what had happened. I turn to look at him, back at her. Her dress had been ripped up to her thighs, her face had an imprint of being backhanded and she had blood acros
~ Josie ~ “What, this isn’t his pack?” “No, best thing Dad did was hire him. That’s why he doesn’t get involved in the politics here…most of it is powerplay amongst the pack members that also work here. He’s here for the patients.” “Why am I just hearing about this?” Kit’s voice is low, his eyes
~ Josie ~ “Kit?” I call out as he remains by the window, complete dread washing over me, his back has tensed and his hands were balling into fists. I could feel the invasion, like a virus trying to take over my senses. Severe nausea warning my body that the pack was in danger. I could feel the
~ Knox ~ “Here, that should hold them. With any luck they’ll stick to the lower levels.” I mutter to myself. “Lower levels?” Red questions me. Damn, I forget how sharp her hearing is now. “To finish off what they started…” “But they are injured, unable to defend themselves?” “I think t
~ Josie ~ Time slows down as the ding of the elevator forces me out of the mind-link with Jaxon. He and our parents were unharmed, however, Jace was unaccounted for. Reinforcements were coming…but it was already too late. My eyes are blinded by the red target lasers pointed in my direction. We
~ Josie ~ “Stop fighting me Josie.” Doctor Abel growls out as he carries me through a small wooded area that leads towards fields that run alongside the borders. My mind was spiralling in trying to play catch up, in trying to understand what exactly was happening. My mate was fighting for his life
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
~ 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
