~ 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
Kaia POVMy own mate rejected me on our wedding night. As soon as I signed the marriage certificate and prepared to consummate our new life together...he rejected me.“I, Than Sable, Alpha of the Amber Desert Pack, reject you Kaia Glace as my Luna.” I remember his cruel cutting words as if they were
Kaia POVI couldn’t sleep, not with him next to me. He hasn’t moved, and I’m frozen as his arm lays across my waist, as if what had just happened was a happy thing for me. As if he were trying to keep me safe.My mind keeps going over and over what had just happened.Reliving every moment.He called
Kaia POVShe’s my double, identical to me. Her skin isn’t as olive toned as mine, she’s paler from having been away from the sunlight, from being stuck in this hospital bed...but there’s no doubt that she is my double.My mind can’t seem to process what my eyes are seeing.How was this even possible
Kaia POVI watch them walk away into the distance, my mind spinning at what I had just heard. Kidney donation?I never thought that Than’s purpose was to use my kidney to save Alora...This is ridiculous!So, from beginning to end I was a meaningless existence to him. He only thought of me as just
Kaia POV“I hear you’ve been asking about me?” The tall man smiles slightly at me, his eyes remaining on mine. Our eyes lock together as something inside of me doesn’t want to look away.My head and eyes aren’t connecting...something is happening from the affect of his scent. Something I can’t quite
Hector POVIt seems things are developing faster than I planned.I locate my beta. Ezra, standing watch outside the coffee shop, one of many establishments that I part own.Entering, the doorbell chimes, and the reported female is standing at the counter...this will be like taking candy from a baby.
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

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
~ 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
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
~ 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
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
I can hear the pleasantries of Hector introducing my parents to their other guests, Jace’s mate’s parents. I don’t think I will be able to look them in the eyes knowing I am carrying their daughter’s future betrayal. “Do you need help in the kitchen?” I offer out to Kaia, anything to prevent st
~ 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
