But as I still have the burn on my arm from the oven…I won’t take the risk. “Do we have a marking ceremony date in the diary yet?” Dad asks out, trying to steer the conversation on to the topic of the evening. The entire reason we are here. I love Dad’s attempts to diffuse the tension but if he k
~ Jace ~ I should have taken another shot of liquid wolfsbane, the only thing that stopped my wolf from returning each time I left. There’s a reason an alpha doesn’t leave a pack unless challenged for the positon, disowned or frankly….dead. I couldn’t cope at first, thinking my wolf would claw m
I was hurting her, her movements were like that of an injured defenceless animal being coerced into the corner. Callie moves towards her, my eyes can’t tear themselves away even as Auntie Rosa moves towards me to greet me….Maya then opening the front door and announcing her arrival like the fucking
~ Cleo ~ “Then she suits Jace after all because he’s done exactly the same.” Jaxon laughs out, but in no way is his comment meant as playful banter. He’s not even trying to hide the snide remark laced within his words. Nobody can help themselves, all eyes snapping towards him, then back to J
After the pizza tray incident I have no doubt that this plate will burn me. I can see the steam of heat rising off the dishes. They are burning hot. Time passes while her hand remains stretched out in front of me and I am just not taking the plate off her. “Cleo?” “Allow me…” Jaxon appears behin
~ Jace ~ “Cleo?” Without thinking I call out after her as she bolts from the dining table towards the downstairs bathroom. “Is she quite alright?” Luna Louise gasps out, looking towards Cleo’s parents who both move to chase after her. “I’ll go.” Jaxon moves past them, hurrying into the direction
If I sneak out now, nobody will notice. I know I shouldn’t, that I should stay well clear but I can’t. It goes against my very nature knowing she is somewere alone in pain…pain that unbeknown to her, I am causing. I don’t need help tracing her movements, her sweet scent still lingers in the cool
~ Cleo ~ He is not mine, he is not mine. I need to repeat it to myself internally as his coconut scent cocoons itself around me, something invisible to the naked eye…yet I feel it, it can’t just be me. I can’t be imagining the power he holds over me. I finally have him alone, I need to tel
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
~ Jaxon ~ Another bad dream wakes me in the early hours of the morning, it had been only a few days since leaving the mountains and I had returned leaving part of my soul there. I knew it, my wolf knew it….he reminds me every second of the day. The infectious guilt eating away at me, even in my
Not once has this allusive White Moon pack been mentioned. I am moved, begrudgingly carried down the mountain by two male rogues as my legs fail to move for me. It’s their own fault, perhaps they should have let me stand over the past few weeks. Besides, I was saving my energy just in case
~ Runa ~ *3 months later* When Alpha Darnell promised me a clean slate, that if I manage to kill this new target then all my father’s debts are paid, that I could retire from his game….how could I refuse such an offer. I had a chance to get my life back, to wipe that slate clean. To put my pas
“Sit down, you must be starving.” “You know I can’t eat that.” I grunt out to her as I take a seat at the kitchen table, my hands running down my face as the night walk finally catches up with me. I should sleep, but he’ll have my head if news got to him that I was back too long and hadn’t been to
Runa POV It’s always a lonely walk back home, those dark thoughts always trying to creep in when I only have the noises of nature to keep me company. The self loathing…the doubt…the humanity my wolf so desperately grips on to. She was the one that refused to give up, refused to accept that thi
“You want to suck me?” I gag slightly at his words, my blood running cold. “If that is what my alpha wants?” I lick my lips, pretending to be completely in awe of his manhood, as if it’s the biggest one I have ever seen…it’s not. But he doesn’t need to know that. “I knew you were a dirty gi
