“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
~ Cleo ~ I’ve made this journey hundreds of times in my lifetime. I’ve passed the Dark Phantom main gate hundreds of time…so why when the guards stop us do I suddenly feel panic at the way their eyes look at me. They know, they must know. They all know, this was a trap. “Evening Alpha, Lu
Again the move not going unnoticed by him, or my own father. Who takes a step forward, his alpha aura pushing forward and mixing with mine. A smirk finally forms in the corner of the lips of this Alpha Darnell. His lips spreading out further into a devious smile before he pulls his aura back compl
~ Cleo ~ I follow Callie into the alpha house, the internal design reminding me of the alpha house back at the Amber Desert pack. A lot of dark colours, riches on display to remind pack members of the hierarchy and where they belong in it. Perhaps Medea and Louise had a lot in common. “We
“Yes sir, born and raised. ” “You don’t smell like a rogue.” I comment. “Jace kind of made the beach club into a little pack, I guess I get away with it on a technicality.” He lifts his fingers into the air, making a quotation movement with both hands. “So what’s with the hat…and the whistle
~ Cleo ~ “We arent looking for trouble Dad. I just don’t feel comfortable letting Callie go alone. If Jace was here, he would go with her. They won’t do anything with another pack’s luna around. Besides, Ares is coming with us.” Dad blocks the very vehicle that Callie and I both plan to take.
I was different now, not only was I a marked woman…I was a Luna. I had a new strength from within me. The pack needs me to remain strong, which is why I have decided to return back today. The Varon’s still needed space to mourn and my own parents wanted to also give them time alone. Especially Kai
~ Cleo ~ We were at the end of the bed, just holding one another. Just inhaling each other’s scents. He had to leave, I know he does…but I can’t let him go. I can’t let go. “Please be careful.” I whisper into his ear, dropping my walls so that he could feel my anxiety through the mate bond.
There was far too much testosterone in this room right now. “Walking away?” “No, I’m checking on my mate who is unconscious, from healing your friend.” Knox grunts out as he moves towards the staircase, his lips snarling. Jace takes Knox’s place beside me without hesitation. He even places hi
~ Cleo ~ “No, I want to go after her myself…and I imagine Jace will too.” Jaxon’s voice has a determination to it, it not being up for discussion. “As the former luna of the Amber Desert pack, surely it is up to Jace and I to decide the next cause of actions.” I firmly respond. “This is
“That’s right, I’m one up on you.” I cut the mind-link, purposefully pushing my butt into his groin, teasing him. “Which I will leave the three of you to do.” I say to all three of them, exiting the room. “You don’t have to. I want you to stay.” Jace’s voice pushes into my mind. I could feel t
