his hand. “Well, now that you are back I can introduce Callie to pack members whilst Jace attends the meeting with Jude.” Mum gestures to Callie to follow her, removing her…knowing, as do I, things needed to be said between Jaxon and I. “He’s unavailable now.” Dad responds, keeping a watchful eye
~ Cleo ~ Josie keeps trying to call me and for the first time since forever, I’m not answering. I need time to think, time to put a plan in place. Jaxon knows, my attempts to persuade him that the baby is human may have worked on my parents, but he could sense the child was related to him.
I’m also conscious of not being off pack grounds long enough for my absence to be picked up on. The services that were half way between us seemed like the obvious option, however, I can’t shake the feeling of being followed. It’s me, I’m hormonal and paranoid. Needing my secret to remain a secret.
“I’ll leave you to it.” He stands up, pulling the chair out and tucking it back in under the table only for Maya to walk over, eyeing him with suspicion. “Take care.” He offers out, a nod as he departs. “You too.” I call out after him as he walks away, Maya pulling the chair out and sitting down.
~ Cleo ~ I had straightened out the story with Maya. She understands what is at stake, and she promises to keep to the story of the bartender being the father. I may be growing tired from the drive but it was worth it, I was feeling more in control. Jaxon’s visit having left me slightly shak
“Look, here’s my card…” He places his hand back out towards me, a small business-shaped-card in his hands. I must seem very bizarre to him, not quite with it. Even now, my hands are running through my long blonde hair…trying to make sense of everything. To say I was in a state of inner turmoil
~ Cleo ~ The pregnancy is playing havoc with my senses because not only did I not pick up on him being close by, but I can’t even smell him. “Jace? What…what are you doing here. And what are you wearing?” My hand moves to my chest where I can feel my heart pounding. “Shh…I didn’t want to be r
“Protect from what?” “From you…from your family.” “I wouldn’t hurt the baby.” The colours runs off his face as if I had just slapped him. “No, I know that. But the baby will be the heir to the Clear Waters until you have a real baby with your mate..” “A real baby..” He chuckles out finding
“Sure there is, you don’t just end up in a rogue camp without a back story. How long were you there?” Jaxon’s Mum pours herself another glass of wine, her eyes watching me like a hawk. “You talk as if it were a holiday park.” I scoff out slightly. “Enlighten me then…” Her voice rings out, a co
~ Runa ~ The aura radiating off the man before me was palpable, he was an intense individual. His aura dark, powerful. If I thought Alpha Darnell and the bitch, Medea, were intense…they were a walk in the park compared to my next target. His aura, when I was strangling his brother, threaten
…. “I should have informed you the moment I knew she was awake, this is my fault.” Jace stands by the bedroom door, Josie next to him as she once again has used her healing abilities on my mate. “She had been captured by a rogue camp, beaten for I don’t know how long…she was just scared. If it’s
~ Jaxon ~ “Jace!” Cleo’s desperate cry wakes me from the pathetic sleep I finally allowed my body to cave into. I should have known I wouldn’t be able to rest. She clutches at her chest, her frantic cry waking the entire household, most of us having fallen asleep downstairs whilst taking it i
Was Medea here…had she brought me somewhere else. Had she found out that I was working for Alpha Darnell. “I just hope you are into rhyming…” His entire demeanour was amusement, a contrast to my growing murderous approach. I could tell he was an alpha, his aura was vibrating off him, but it was n
~ Runa ~ I can feel something painfully digging into my arm as I slowly wake from a deep sleep. I must have slept awkwardly on the barn floor, the rope forcing its way even further into my wrists. I know my body is numb from the freezing cold because I can’t even feel the hard floor, it feels soft
days…had we of waited any longer…fuck knows what would have happened. You didn’t see what they had done to her.” My voice becomes louder as anger takes control again, I wasn’t ready for a lecture right now. I had an opportunity to find my mate…to save her and I took it. I do not regret my acti
~ Jaxon ~ My body clings to her in the back seat of the car, not letting go of her once. Not breaking that touch between our skin that results in an eruption of tingles upon my arms. She may be unconscious, but the tingles keep my racing heart from exploding from the fear that she was going to d
the hour!” I command out, my wolf pressing forward, intensifying my order and aura. I wasn’t prepared to wait any longer, I needed to retrieve my mate. I will kill any rogue that stands in my way. … From the moment we hid the pack vehicles it was complete stealth mode. With only the Dark Phant
