I’ve got a few chapters coming your way hopefully tonight, just need to fit in time for editing.
~ Cleo ~ I’m well and fully the conductor of my runaway train, the train that best describes not only my continuing untruths to my family, to those that care about me the most, but the fast paced out of control journey I am taking myself on…no doubt on a path for collision. I had the front row
“No, I have no mate.” For once, the truth. “I see.” “No you don’t actually…the father is a human.” A moment is shared between us where he is considering me, and I him. He seems to be contemplating something, his eyes pulling away first as he exhales loudly, casting his eyes back over the patro
~ Jace ~ I’m sitting on the edge of the bed watching Callie put make up on in front of my mirror. She’s not spoken to me all day, not since Josie healed her arm and willingly informed her of her special abilities. She asked to go to the hospital, to have her arm checked out even though Josie k
“You will command them to come here.” “I’ll do jackshit until you explain your reasons?” “They are hiding things from us, something that has a direct impact on our security” “Jaxon you can’t go around making such claims without proof.” I pipe up, feeling protective of the Arancea’s. “Oh, I h
~ Cleo ~ I’m pounced on as soon as I exit my car. Mum gently guiding me out of the vehicle where she then covers my eyes to stop me from seeing anything. “Mum…” I chuckle out at her behaviour. “What’s going on?” “We have a surprise for you…no peeking okay?” “Okay.” She guides me into th
“If that is what is worrying you, then don’t let it.” “I didn’t know that.” “It’s not common knowledge, he doesn’t like to talk about it. Not because he is ashamed of it, he just doesn’t think it stops him being any less of the strong alpha that he is. And he’s right, it doesn’t.” Dad was righ
~ Jace ~ It was the calm before the storm. Jaxon had spent the day with a fucking smug smirk upon his face, something I wanted to beat right out of him. To say he was pissing me off was an understatement. By the time I had finished with training and pack duties it was already almost early evening
“You are early.” Callie sighs out, her shoulders instantly sagging, any sign of the confident entrepreneur business woman disappearing at her mother’s words. I didn’t even recognise this Callie in front of me. My eyes move to Mum’s who is also picking up on the awkwardness. “Callie has been s
“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
