Lilith's POVI feel the connection snap almost as soon as they cross the borders and it has me both confused and upset in an instant.They hadn't warned me of guest, nor had they discussed it.I know it's Theo's pack and it's his to do with as he wishes but deep down I had hoped he would pass things by me like he does with Lucas and his father.But it seems I haven't earned that particular respect yet and that is why I'm upset.I wait for them at the front door, feeling them edging closer by the second and I'm right.They pull into the drive way in the car, ten wolves trailing behind them.They aren't from here, but I knew that already and their smell is neither familiar or welcoming.They smell... weird, because they do not belong.But they do, because I can feel them. They've agreed to be part of our pack.Well at least that's what the connection is presenting itself as.I wait until they’ve gotten out of the car and are walking towards me, leaving space between the wolves and ourse
Khai’s POVI leave Theo and Lilith to tend to the new warriors to connect with our existing ones.It’s change over time and I’m due for the night shift for the first time.It’s an essential part of my training, the ability to stay in wolf form all night to protect the pack and the various borders surrounding our land.But this will be the hardest feat for me to to endure.Before coming here, taking my place besides Lilith and Theo I barely let Obsidian out.And to say that shifting still feels the same as it did way back when I was a teenager would be the truth.My bones still ache as we shift, the grinding of the joints radiating through my whole being and it exhausts me to allow him full control.It shouldn’t, not at my age but I’ve taught myself to be as least like a wolf as possible and now the reigns are dropping to allow him to be him and I struggle.Especially after being in his form.Everything is heightened.Sounds, smells, vision, you name it and it’s enhanced compared to my
Lilith’s POVTheo disturbs me by rolling out of bed like his arse is on fire.I watch sleepily as he moves from the bed, to the window and then out of the room and instantly that loss of him leaving without a word worries me.Somethings triggered him to wake and that something is important.I feel out into the pack to see what’s wrong and it seems there’s an intruder coming through on the upper northwestern border.The border Khai just so happens to be minding.I’ve missed him tonight, the lack of heat from his side of the bed leaving me cold and unprotected but in turn for him not protecting me he’s protecting the whole pack.It seems he’s heading the team on that side of our border, roaming the line with four others as he demand them to follow his lead.Or should I say Obsidian is the one leading.Which is good, because it’s about time he got the limelight he deserves.Khai has had locked him up for longer than necessary. His aversion to being a wolf shifter potent and uncalled for.
Theo’s POVLilith refuses to allow me to tend to alpha problems by myself, and I suppose you could say she was really coming into her role at Luna but I think it has more to do with the fact she doesn’t want me in danger.She feels some sense of need to protect me when it’s her that needs the protection.We stand, eyeballing each other for the longest moment, arguing silently before I allow her to come inside and then I lock us inside.Though with the upgrades the doors will no longer be locked for more than two hours but she isn’t to know that.And it’s evident that’s what she expect because she immediately enlightens me to the fact Calley has Lora.I’m not disappointed in her choice of baby sitter, but I am disappointed in myself for waking her and leaving her to worry.It’s evident this is how she felt by the way she flings herself into my arms at the very first opportunity when I sit the young boy on a kitchen chair.He’s still naked so I move whilst holding Lilith to my body with
Khai's POVIt takes every ounce of control within me to stay out here in the tree line rather than follow Theo and that boy home.I know my place and my role for the night but I can't help but need to be there for Theo if anything untoward is to happen.And yes, I know he's more than capable to care for himself but I still worry.It would kill Lilith if anything were to happen to him and because of that it would hurt me also.I feel for him after radio silence for a few hours, and I'm glad to say he's very much alive but I'm unhappy to say I feel his connection with Lilith which enlightens me to fact they are together.Why did he allow her close proximity to the boy that claims he were from Danes pack?Have they figured out who he is?Where he come from?Why he's here?Is Lilith in danger?What about Lora, whose looking after her?I'm not ashamed to admit the sun rising gives me more happiness than I thought it would.Six am comes around and the change over happens.I don't patiently w
A Few Hours Before Lilith’s POVThe boy was but a mere test form the ally Theo and Khai had made not the day before.It took me no time to heal him, feeling guilty that Khai had made those marks in the first place.What must he think knowing one of his new alphas, for the time being, bit into him like a meal was about to be had.His skin puckers pink and then I towards Theo wanting a private explanation of exactly what he asked Dane for.To my surprise we aren’t stuck down here as we were before, Theo unlocking the door for us to leave.It confounds me but I do not undermine him in front of the boy before us.Instead we show him to his room, giving him towels and toiletries as well as a few prices of clothing to enable him to be covered up as he should be.Then we retire to our room, allowing Calley to go back to bed for us to have a debate over what exactly Theo thinks of the future.“What did you go to Dane for?” I ask perturbed by the thought he’s going behind my back. Even if it i
Theo’s POVI feel frayed and anxious but I know my pack is within good hands.And even now, walking alongside my father. Asking his opinion on my choices I know, deep down, without his opinion that I have done the correct thing.Lilith has come into her own, she’s taken on being a Luna to my pack far easier than I thought she might. Her love for our people is exactly where it should be. And I shouldn’t be surprised that she approaches her role with feisty emotion because that’s who she is.The undercurrent of her being is love.She loves with her whole being and she loves our pack just the same.This morning was… how do I put this? It was an eye opening idea experience.I hadn’t expected the breach, one, but on the other hand I hadn’t expected Lilith to question my integrity.She’s always followed along beside me with any decision I’ve made and I suppose I had gotten used to live as the sole provider not having to answer to anyone.But it’s clear to see that now I have two mates, a
Khai’s POVMuch to Liliths upset Theo and I stake out three following nights waiting for the next ‘rogue attack’ from Dane’s pack.It doesn’t come, not as we expected and that’s three nights of shit sleep in and we’re both on tender hooks.Tonights night four though, and whilst allowing our wolves to take tonight, on the promise we can kip whilst they wait, I’m finding it hard to wind down in Obsidians head.Everything in his mind races like one of those human kids that never stops. The bounce from here the next country over and back and are annoying as fuck but everyone loves them.That’s how his mind is racing.Sounds, smell and sight is processing like a bitch everything is overwhelming and I do not remember the last three nights being this way.It’s because I’m tired, no doubt so I should sleep.Yes you should, Obsidian grumbles at me.I wish I could, I want to and it’s not without the effort of trying but my mind will not shut off.It could also be because of some haunch that I’m
