I move towards Callie wrapping my arms around her shoulders and placing a kiss on the top of her head. She was mine, I had to act like she was mine. The distant ringing of the telephone from the Alpha office is heard, Mum leaving the kitchen to answer it. Her soft joyful tones at the caller no
Hello my Wood pack lovelies. I thought I would hop on as I’ve gained a lot of new readers recently (which is amazing) but I’ve noticed some questions. So I thought I would answer them in one go. This book is being updated daily, except for Sundays (that’s my family day). Every now and again I wil
~ Cleo~ I needed to work out the tension building in my shoulders and upper back. I hadn’t attended training this morning, going straight to the hospital instead and now I was paying the price. I also needed to keep my body moving to stop my brain thinking, I just needed silence. The pack gym
“Really?” He rolls his eyes up at me as he lets go of the leg press, giving me back full control. He moves to a bench by my side, sitting down on the edge of it. “What?” “Did you see the way the males were huddled around you.” They were rather close to me, which thinking on it is something that
“So you knew Jace was back?” Dad’s voice sounds differently, it has a sterner tone to it. Something I wasn’t used to being on the receiving end of. “I…no, I didn’t see him.” “Oh good, I would have hoped you would have told us. Especially when we have been just as worried about his safety.” That
~ Cleo ~ “Oh yeah, then explain to me why you smell like my brother.” He snarls at me, his nose sniffing again at the crease of my neck. My body goes into panic mode, an instant threat nearby that needed to be avoided. Jaxon isn’t a threat but him finding out the truth is. “What? No I don’t.”
I move away from him, heading upstairs into my bedroom, slamming the door shut to lock it. I just needed to be left alone. But he was fast following me up the stairs…his hand blocking the doorway, preventing me from closing it fully to apply the lock. “Get out.” I roar out, trying to force th
I’m angry at his words, a fire forming in the pit of my stomach at his threat. I know he will tell him, it’s only a matter of time. I need to make my own threat, to bide me some time. “If you tell him, I will leave. You will never see me again, nobody will. He has a mate, I won’t destroy them, I
“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
