~ Knox ~ “Any news?” I turn my head awkwardly as Jaxon enters the sitting room, his fingers turning his phone in his hands. “No nothing. I’ve searched the entire pack. We’ve managed to retrieve every dead body…if he was injured, he would be here…somewhere.” Jaxon pinches the bridge of his nos
~ Knox ~ Following Kaia and Jaxon into the cells, you wouldn’t think anything had happened on the outside of these concrete walls. Jaxon takes a moment to put the mind’s of the cell guards at ease. Their orders had clearly been to remain within these walls at all costs, to lock down the pri
are not to get involved, do I make myself clear?” The whipping continues, blood splatters across the floor as he squeals out in pain, unwilling to apologize for his sins. Unwilling to repent. There is no remorse in him whatsoever, he knows what he would have done…yet, he continues to li
~ Josie ~ I knew something had happened as soon as they walked through the front door. In the way Jaxon bypassed me on the couch and headed straight upstairs…the unmistakeable scent of blood perfuming the hallway in his wake. “What’s happened, what’s going on?” I crank my neck to turn in fear t
~ Josie ~ Holding on to the piece of paper in my hands, Kit asks me again for the address. The satnav unable to find any properties along this small road. “It has to be here somewhere. What did your Mum say?” Kit asks out as he zooms in on the satnav map. “Only that I would know it when I saw
~ Josie ~ “Perhaps we should be the ones asking questions…” Kit takes a step closer into the compact old fashioned living area. It was as if we had time travelled back in time. She doesn’t move, eyeing Kit suspiciously before she scoffs out at his boldness. “I can see that the moon goddess c
“Yes.” She mumbles back at me, slowly moving back to her chair. Her walking stick clanging against the wooden floorboards. “Why?” “Being in hiding comes with a price.” “In hiding, who from?” “Your Mother didn’t tell you?” A loud sigh follows as it seems to pain her to sit down. “No, she
~ Josie ~ “You are mated to that monster?” “He wasn’t always a monster. Greed can get to us all.” “He’s killed innocent people in his attempt to gain access to my mother, so you will forgive me if I don’t want to hear of a time when he wasn’t a monster. The monster I saw before me was void of a
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
