~ 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
too, that he wants me…. Until…he blinks, snapping out of the desire he has for me only to remind himself that I am not her. I watch it, slowly. Watch the way his eyes search mine before moving down to my lips, watch the change in his eyes…he doesn’t need to say the words, I can see it play
~ Jace ~ “Eh…what the fuck was that?” Josie’s growl echoes through her own cabin, bouncing off the wooden built walls. What was that, what have I just done. I lost myself in her, in the need to touch her…to be near her. I’ve potentially just ruined everything. “Josie, can you give us a minute?
“Does she even know?” “No…or at least I don’t think so.” “Why can’t you be together?” “Because I can’t lose her.” “Lose her to what?” “Being a mate of the Varon family comes with threats..” “But you can lose me?” She raises an eyebrow at me. “No…you’re twisting it…” I seethe out, the bitter
~ Cleo ~ I’m not home twenty minutes before I hear my parent’s car pulling up outside. I’m pacing the floor of my bedroom, the toxic mixture of both guilt and anger threatening to erupt out of me. She caught us, his own mate caught us together. My lips could still taste his on me, even n
Just tell them Cleo, tell them who the real father of the baby is… “You’re acting Mum as if my baby is an issue, you said yourself that the entire pack was behind me…that you didn’t care about the baby’s father.” “Human or not, you are still having a baby without a mate…” Her words are like a hu
“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
Runa POV Without looking back I head straight to the female toilets where he is waiting by the sinks, a frown upon his face. “You were longer than two minutes, I thought you had ditched me.” “Trust me, I’m worth the wait.” I seductively coo back at him, locking the main toilet door before movi
“No, just passing by. ” “We seem to be attracting newbies today.” The barman’s eyes shoot to me, just as I pour myself another shot glass, the alpha’s eyes following his as they also lock on to me. I’m about to find out his character…whether he’ll take advantage of what he thinks is an intoxicated
Runa POV *3 months ago* I let my fingers strum against the dark varnished oak wood bar which is designed intricately with various scenes of wolves in group hunts. This was very much a shifters bar but on the off chance a human happened to stumble by, they would take it as a tourist attraction.
Records that Doctor Sophia must have shared from the Red Thorn pack. I hold my breath in anticipation as the nurse places cold jelly upon my stomach, the sharp coldness sending my body into full alert state. My wolf was still with me, her energy still zapped, but she was able to talk to me now…I co
~ Cleo ~ We were back at the Amber Desert pack now. Callie and Colt had both returned with us as we try to help Callie navigate around her missing mate. Both Jace and I were non stop searching for clues on where Gwen could be, but except for sharing amongst the alliance packs a few pictures on Ca
“Since when did I take relationship advice from you.” “Since you get to hold your mate in bed every night. Just calm the fuck down Jace, you’d know if she was injured. Besides, she’s a tough cookie Cleo, you need to give her more credit. Fucking scared the shit out of me when she tried to threaten
~ Jace ~ What a fucking nightmare. Not only did we leave not having any further leads…but Jaxon was stuck in a state of fighting against his own wolf for control. He could hardly move, his entire body trembling as his wolf fights for control, trying to find a sign of weakness in the barrier to p
Now was the moment of trust, I had to trust Ozborne, he hadn’t let me down this far… “Can you handle this?” I place a pistol gun out to him, offering it out for him to use. “Yes Alpha.” He takes it, examining the piece before removing the barrell and checking the number of bullets it was loaded w
