“Yep. What about you then? Why have you run away for your 18th?” “You know Mum…always eyes on. I had no chance of you know, unless I left the pack.” His brows furrow as he slowly pours me a glass of champagne before handing it out to me. I hesitate in taking it off him, his eyes burning at my la
~ Cleo ~ A moan escapes me as his tongue pushes through and tastes every part of my mouth. Claiming it as his. I had always hoped it would be like this, the reason I waited for someone special, but nothing prepared me for the desire that was burning throughout me from his touch. He backstep
“Then let’s get you ready for me…” “What do you mean..” “You’ll see..” Predator eyes take over him again as he unties the string on one hip of my bikini, his lips replacing the now missing fabric. I don’t shy away from the pleasure of his touch as my hip moves up towards him, my hands fisting
~ Cleo ~ I can hear him talking to someone, and I know it isn’t to me because I am semi-unconscious. My body is willing me to sleep yet my mind knows I should not stay…that, I should get up and go back to my own hotel room. To go find Maya. Every part of my body is exhausted, even my lips
“You knew what?” “That you had hooked up with someone…was it him…” “Who?” I panic. “…the barman?” She pauses, her brows furrowing. Did she not see him? Did she not notice Jace…how could she not. He was easily the hottest guy at the pool and his entrance hadn’t been discreet. He has an
~ Cleo ~ I reach for my phone without hesitation, Jace was a half of this story. This child was his and he has a right to know. “Can I come by the hotel, it’s important? x” I write the text message out, taking in a deep calming breath of air before pressing send. With all the attempts from num
I have been in love with Jace since I was a little girl. He was a best friend that at some point I developed deeper feelings for. I couldn’t tell you the exact moment but friendship turned to love at an early age. I’ve tried to let go, but nobody else compared to him…who ever could. This baby woul
“He’s in the shower…you know..” She shrugs with a knowing smile. He was cleaning off having just had sex with her… My heart that had already plummeted at the sight of her feels as if it is stuck in a never ending free-fall into the depths of the earth. Into darkness. “Sorry…” I mutter out as I cl
“No Cleo, they live for you and Ares.” “Perhaps, I also didn’t want Ares’ alpha title to be affected.” I sigh out, truths were being spoken that should have been said a long time ago. Death creating a time to ponder on the past, on the mistakes made. “Is that what you think of us, that we would
~ Cleo ~ Mum was just tired and for some reason being here wasn’t good for her. Just like she would sometimes struggle when we returned to the Dark Phantom pack..or when Dad wasn’t with her. Yes it was her family pack…where she grew up but even then it was like a darkness took over her. The sa
This isn’t the first time Rosa has lost control of her wolf and Cleo has had to pick up the pieces, had to protect Ares even as a child. We were all grieving, we were all exhausted…but we don’t let our wolves take on full control and block out the human side. I let my aura roll off me and direct
I was never meant to have the Clear Waters, I was always meant to take on Dad’s original legacy…the Amber Desert. With Cleo by my side. We would be close to her family pack, which is important to Cleo…she is extremely close to her Dad and brother, and she would want to support Ares in the years
~ Jace ~ It was vitally important that we plan out our next steps. I couldn’t afford to make a mistake. We were all gathered in the living area, it can’t be past 3am. We were all still awake, Mum refusing to leave Alora’s side…it won’t be long before cars from Clear Waters arrive to take her home
~ Cleo ~ I move his hands off my face…I can’t look him in the eyes. My mind was spiralling and I couldn’t stop it. Freya. Borders. Alora…. Supplies. My mind was making lists of things that need sorting…things that would keep me going right now. If I stopped for a second I fear I would crumble
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
