“Why is she vulnerable?” My low rumble snaps both of their heads towards me. “My car…” Jaxon shouts out. “What?” “She took my car the night she left…she was so desperate to leave. I’ve regretted letting her use it since, but maybe…” “Jaxon!” Josie roars out in frustration. All of us were o
~ Jace ~ “Baby, what baby?” “Of course…” Mum gasps out but I can’t keep up with everybody else’s words, all I can concentrate is on one image…Cleo having a baby. “What baby?” I roar out again, surely, they must have it wrong. She can’t be with child, she would have told me. “Cleo is pregnan
“No…no…I wasn’t willing.” Her voice is firm yet quiet in volume. I wish I had misheard, I wish I had this wrong…is she saying what I think she is saying. “You mean?” “It was a long time ago..” “Mum…” Josie starts to sob out, as she tries to take a step closer to Mum. “You knew about this?”
~ Jace ~ “Grandchild?” A few voices ask at once, all eyes looking to Jaxon in replica astonishment, myself included. “Jaxon, what are you talking about…” Josie calls out, but my eyes are locked on my brother, whose hand…that has remained on my shoulder for some time, suddenly has some weight to i
I need to right my wrong, before it is too late and I have lost her forever. “You stay here.” Uncle Orpheus finger is pointed aggressively towards my face, his face twisting with anger. “Not a chance in hell.” “You’ve done enough damage. I don’t want you anywhere near my daughter.” “No, she is
~ Cleo ~ “What beautiful roses!” Luna Medea exclaims; her manicured nails stretching out to touch the bouquet of freshly cut roses that stand in the vase, the centre piece to the kitchen table that the four of us were eating breakfast together on. Every meal time was just the four of us…Alpha Th
So I thought I would save her the time and wait for her here. Closing my eyes, I tilt my head up to let the morning sun beam upon my face. I would never get used to the way the sun feels stronger here…maybe because the land is slightly of higher altitude. Even the floral smell this pack seems to
~ Cleo ~ I don’t know her very well but I couldn’t help but think Freya’s odd behaviour was something I shouldn’t ignore. All week she refused to leave my side unless I was in the alpha house, so why has she left me alone to tour the hospital. It’s not that I can’t do it alone, but her sudden w
“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
~ Jace ~ Jaxon and I had driven throughout the night, heading up towards the mountainous region that in truth was a well known rogue area. A place that if you were in a pack, you didn’t tend to visit, and for good reason. Rogue life was deadly, vicious and cruel. One day you might be a ruler, th
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 com
~ 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
