Khai’s POVAfter such a long day of behaving myself when all I wanted to do was make examples of the warriors that were bath mouthing our she-wolves off, I needed to take some time to calm my frayed nerves.And I chose to help Theo with paper work.It’s not my desired activity but it sure has grounded me.But nevertheless I still feel the need to connect with Lilith on that level that will blow my mind and take the stress away.I don’t think it helps that all she’s thought about since leaving the office is just that.The mate bond allowing me to feel her need and no doubt Theo too.I help pack away the files, and ensure the office is locked before I bound up the stairs two at a time.Theo chuckles behind me but I have no doubt he’s just as needy as I am, even if he can control his urge to walk the stairs one at a time.When I open the door, Lilith’s scent and her moisturiser hit my nostril making Obsidian wake from his early evening slumber.He growls, and in turn that makes me growl.
Celeste's POVAlthough I leave the room, I'm in a panic.What should I do?Should I allow for this continue?Why didn't I rid the soul, make the child a fallen child?Their fate is in my hands, their life on my terms. I could stop this catastrophe from happening, yet I choose not to.I allowed for the soul to slip from my hand into the pool where it will eventually be recalled back down to earth.And why? I hear you ask.Well it's simple really. The girl, the mother, the little witch, Belle.She's why.She's another piece in my game with Hati, and now I've put her in harms way.Aligned her future and that of her child with the devil that I'm trying to let go of. It how can I take his life when he has a family now?Things have become so complicated, deeply and irrevocably complicated. And as I think of my granddaughter, the one that bonded with the wolf that had never had a spectate mare besides Hati, I wonder what this will mean for her future.Christ things are going from bad to di
Theo’s POVHaving Lilith once last night was not enough to satiate Khai or I.We took her both by ourselves, watching as voyeurs in between as we the other took their turn and then once again together.And she was up for everything we had to give but our extra activities have left her feeling tired so instead of making her get up, I allowed her to roll over and rest.Khai has Lora this morning whilst I attend to the meeting I’ve called with the warriors that chose to single out the new women. I will not, categorically have my men put down the women of this pack.If there’s one thing I’m not, it’s sexist.Yes, I have chosen to protect our women over the years by not allowing them to join but that was never because I felt a lack of worth from them.It was for my own selfish need to ensure the women around me were protected as my mother wasn’t.I walk into the middle of town, finding the warriors sat there waiting for me with bored looks on their faces.It’s been a long while since I’ve
Lilith’s POVMy sleep is heavy and keeps me under. I’m dogbone tired after lasts nights escapades and despite myself I cannot drag myself out of the dreams that are constantly taking me.The memories of the day I came here is running through my mind, and I’m unsure why I’m seeing that day so vividly. Why my memories are fading in and out with Theo’s.Am I supposed to be seeing this, is my dream telling me something?My mind runs the reel yet again. I remember those feelings of not knowing my name, or where I came from. I couldn’t place my parents, not that I had any but that day I hadn’t known that. No I searched my kind for any memories of parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts or uncles but I came up short as I lay there in the water that travelled me through to Theo’s land.Images morph again, I’m wandering the woods for hours, maybe half a day the sun moving in the sky as the trees above protect me from the rays. It was light at the waters edge but as I walk, the sun sets, the
Lilith's POVI'm walking through the greenest of grass towards a lady standing in a white gown at the top of the hill in front of me. Her beautiful honey hair flows out behind her as the wind catches it. It takes me an age to walk to her, every few steps it's as if I'm being pulled back, turn't around but I eventually get to her. Or she gets to me, I'm not sure."Lilith" she calls snapping my attention from the floor to her "it's so lovely to see you again child.""It's nice to see you too... who are you?" I ask."Why Celeste of course but you can call me Leste.""As in our creator?" I ask as she guides me to a bench. Theo's voice comes out of nowhere making me look around for him though I cannot find him."Lil... Lilith wake up. We cannot cross these borders. Lilith... Lil... Jesus don't make me breach the border come back. Lil?...Lilith""It's no use, when she's in the other realm she cannot communicate in this realm" there's that voice again, the man that saved me the other day..
Khai’s POVLilith has slept the whole day away, staying in bed without surfacing once.I check on her in the early afternoon to see her rolling around in bed, burning up with a temperature.Theo and I decide to call Dr Knight, and he sends Dr Samantha I’ve to check on Lilith.“How long has she been burning up?” She asks us as she arrives.“Just today, she fine last night,” Theo mutters unhappily as he strokes Lilith head.It’s almost evening now and we’ve been having to feed Lora Lilith pumped milk but she has much left and she’s unwakable.“I see,” Dr Samantha states, walking to Lilith.She starts look her over, taking her temperature, checking her heart and putting a cuff in her arm to do her blood pressure.She also tried to wake her, but to no avail just like Theo and I.“So?” Theo asks, cradling Lora to his chest as she starts to cry for Lilith.“I think it’s a bad infection. Her lungs have a rattle, so I’m presuming chest injection. Are you sure she wasn’t feeling ill before tod
Celeste’s POVOf course I presumed I would be met with criticism but I never expected to feel so burdened with it upon receiving said critic.Theo wasn’t one to hold back his opinion, not that I expect him to.After all, he’s of alpha bloodline and a strong alpha at that.He wasn’t impressed that I allowed this soul to love when I had the means to end its existence but he grumbled some sort of incoherent acceptance when I explained my reasoning behind my decision.The most important thing is he’s been wanted and can put things in place for Lora for her future.Lilith had already given her another mate, a mate that seems to be bonding excellently so far.And in the future this should help tremendously.WhT my people haven’t realised is a mate bond isn’t all its presents itself to be.They do not have to accept their fated and I do not demand nor punish them for not taking the one I believe to be well matched.That’s why I have second chance mates, and they don’t stop there.Some people
Lilith's POVThe memories continue to fill up any consciousness.A strange and unabating voice wakes me from my light slumber.It's not particularly saying many words, but it's happy nevertheless, and the aura accompanying the person is addictively more-ish.They seem blissfully unaware and happy, content with their surroundings which confounds me. Where are they? Are they close??Their room seems dark, maybe with the ambience of red. Yes, yes, I can see what they can. It's as if they are sharing their secret with me.I wonder if they are another of the long line of children Damian keeps. I mean, they must be, to be around here.I lay silently for a while, soaking up their energy, afraid that they might go silent again if I spoke or tried to communicate. I need this, the happiness from an untainted person.I can't really explain with words how happy and content the being makes me feel by just sharing their... innocence. I think, perhaps, it's maybe because I'm alone and I hate bein
