LilahStretching out on the large bed, I could already sense that something was off. I felt odd. Nothing like I did after the first time I was in heat. This was different. Wandering into the bathroom I stare at myself in the full length mirror. I looked the same. Nothing seemed to be out of place. Yet, I could not get rid of the odd feeling. Maybe it was being back here that was making me feel off?Quickly dressing, I make my way down the stairs looking for Colt.“You’re looking well.”Magnus makes me jump. “I didn’t know you were back.” I stutter in surprise.“It seems that I am not the only one who needed to think things through. If you are looking for my nephew, I believe he is dealing with a visitor at the gate.” He turns his back on me and slams the office door. “That was weird.” I mutter as I hurry out the front door. A few new houses had been built since I had last been here, but nothing else had changed. I spot Kaitlin running after one of her boys. She was yelling at him as
Alpha ColtLilah wasn’t happy about it. She had been back in Moonbay for half a day and I had already had someone killed. But there was something else. Something different about her.“Is Snare still in the dungeons?” I question Linc“Yes. Though at this point it would just be easier to kill him. Starving him is taking forever.”“Are you sure?” I keep my eyes trained on Lilah and she frowns at me.“Are you fucking serious? You think I’m Snare? You can be a right arsehole Colt!”“Something is off about you.”“I know!” Her response throws me off guard. She was agreeing with me that something wasn’t right.“What do you mean you know?”“I’ve been feeling weird since I woke up!”I tell Linc to go and check the dungeons anyway. To take Daphne with him so she could learn what was going on. If Daphne wanted to a part of this life, she is going to have to learn the raw ugly truth of what we do.I wait for them to leave. “Show me!”“Show you what?” She pulls up her top. “The scar that she knows
Hey everyone. I just wanted to leave a message for everyone that is reading right now. I really appreciate anyone that has gotten this far and want to thank each and every one of you for following me and giving me gems. You don't know how much it means to me. I have an author's page that keeps everyone up to date on F******k if you want to look and follow me there but generally I update every day, maybe having one day off a week to recharge my batteries. I would also love it if you guys could leave me a review of what you think so far. I'm also open to adding Daphne and Linc's POV if you guys want it. Or there may be a possible second book that focuses on them. Let me know what you think.
LilahShe had convinced me to do a test. The moment I told Daphne that I just felt off, she said I needed to do one. And now we had both peed on a stick and my mate was staring down on us. He wasn't supposed to be here. Not yet.None of us speak. Daphne and I dare not move as Colt stares at me.Our tests beep and I break my gaze with Colt to see what it said. There was the word ‘pregnant’. This could not be happening.I turn to look at Daphne who is still staring at her result.“Is someone going to say something?” Colt demands“I’m… I’m… I’m pregnant.” Daphne stutters as a tear rolls down her face. “I don’t understand.”I didn’t either. She had just done the test in support of me. She had already told me that she couldn’t get pregnant. That something was wrong with her when she was born. That she doesn’t even have periods. It was impossible for her and yet her test was as positive as mine.Linc comes crashing in the room, demanding to know what was wrong with Daphne. She shows him the
Lilah The rattle of chains are followed by the stench of burning skin. Groans come from the inside of Snare’s cell. “Iron is the only thing that will hold the bastard.” Callie mutters from next to me. Her eyes focussed on the shadows moving inside the cell. “It has the same effect on him as silver does on us.” “Yes, yes. It stops me from being able to shift!” Snare chuckles from the shadows. “You’re right about one thing.” Callie winks at me “Your presence is making him speak.” “I have nothing to say to you beast. Now leave me alone with my little Lilah.” “I’m not going anywhere shifter!” His hands grab the iron bars. His skin sizzled against them. His teeth grit together as he glares at her. “Because you are such a good girl!” He spits on the floor at Callies feet. Callie lets out a growl, jabbing him with the fire torch she was holding. “Lilah, are you going to let her do that to me? I looked after you for such a long time.” “You lied to me. You did horrible things. Now I
Alpha Colt Pulling the folder from her hands, I place my hands on her stomach. The heartbeats were not clear enough yet, but the vibrations were strong. In a day or two, I would be able to tell if it is twins or triplets. For now, I enjoyed knowing that my heirs were growing inside of her. “You are carrying more than one.” “No, you are wrong. I don’t need more than one.” She retorts, her grey eyes wide at my announcement. “It would appear that your body thinks otherwise.” I offer a smile, but she glares back at me. "You are wrong." "I am certain you have more than one." “A litter?” “Pups.” I reply with a smile “A fucking litter! I can barely look after myself, let alone multiple pups.” “You’re not alone Lilah. I will be right by your side. I will provide everything. I will be the best father.” “Uh huh.” She places her hands on top of mine “But no more climbing out of windows.” “You wouldn’t have let me leave if I had asked. I had to do what I needed to do and Callie was th
Linc“Am I actually hearing you right? Are you trying to tell me that Daphne is a half-breed?” I was in shock. The doctor bobs his head up and down.“She doesn’t have a wolf scent. Nor does she show any characteristics of being a wolf. Are you certain?” I ask again, hoping that there must be something else.“Linc, the doctor has already said yes.” Alpha Colt rests his hands on my shoulders.“How did you not know about this, you are our King? Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be reported?”The Alpha shakes his head at me, “I don’t know, maybe a Rogue, maybe someone fell in love with a human. It would have been when we were young. She is the same age as Lilah. If my father was alive, we could have asked him.”“But…”“Linc, I don’t know what you want me to say. The doctor has the facts.” He turns to the doctor. “How many is she carrying?”“Just the one.”“What is it?” I needed to know what I was bringing into the world.“Sorry, but I’m not following.” The doctor has his head tilted t
Alpha Colt“What are you doing Colt?”I was just staring at her belly. There was a little change, not the greatest, but enough for me to notice. Lilah pulls the hoodie down further, annoyed that I was staring at her.“How are you feeling?” I ask, trying to remain calm. I think Linc was right, she was only going to carry for a few months. Especially if she was showing already.“There’s four of them growing inside of me. How do you think I feel? I told you it better not be a litter!” Her grey eyes are shining brightly even though she sounded annoyed.“Yes, I have been informed, several times in fact. But there is a lot to do.”“Uh huh,” she mutters as we leave the pack hospital. “Daphne isn’t happy.”“About being pregnant or the other news?”“Everything. I didn’t know Colt. There is nothing about her that would suggest she is half wolf.”“Linc said the same thing.”“It’s weird right? She is my best friend and yet…” She trails off, looking back towards the hospital.“What is it?”“She as
Lilah The next morning, I find Colt packing up the office. “Going somewhere?” I look around at all the half packed boxes in amusement. “We are.” “We are? Did you try talking to me when I was asleep?" He laughs at me, “No, you said you wanted to live in the apartment.” “You’re joking right? None of this shit is going to fit in there.” He had more than enough boxes to fill the bedrooms. Plus it would have remnants of her and I couldn't be somewhere like that. “I thought that’s what you wanted?!” He stops packing and places his hands on my small bump “Once, but there was barely enough room for me and ….” I hadn’t mentioned her name since I had set her on fire. Any time there was a fleeting thought, I would push it away and focus on something else. “You can say her name. She can’t hurt you anymore.” “No. Even thinking of her is giving her time. Anyway, what about when this one comes along? A town centre is hardly a place for a newborn wolf or Lycan.” He presses his lips to my ch
LilahPulling the blade from my chest. My lungs quickly expand, desperate to suck in some oxygen after what had just happened.The wound above my heart, knits itself together, removing almost all trace of nearly being stabbed to death. All that was left was my blood soaked top. For just a single moment, I was afraid to move. Afraid to look at the damage she had done.Linc appears in front of me. His dark eyes searching mine, her blood coated the skin around his mouth and his chin. He stretches a hand out towards me and pulls me to my feet. “You survived.” He mutters, running his eyes over me, “Not very many of the others did.”As I look around, I see that Callie had stopped jerking about, but her eyes were closed and her body was now motionless. Aiden was hunched over, weeping over Ivy’s body, surrounded by dead Lycans. “COLT!”“Here,” His voice is faint in my head. He was still flat on his back, from where Daphne had knocked him down. “You have to burn her.”My eyes flicker across
Lilah“Snare?” My voice breaks when I say his name. I thought he was long behind us. “What does he have to do with this?” “You should have listened to him. He was watching you. Just as grandmother requested.”“Your grandmother?” Everything was quickly unravelling. Everything that Daphne had ever done or said was all lies. Out of everyone, she had played me the most, lied to me the most. She had used my emotions to get what she wanted and I had fallen for it, again and again and again.“It really was you. You are the one that made the hospital cave in on us. You almost killed yourself!”She chuckles. “I knew I wouldn’t die well not completely. But the pissy Hybrid had to get involved, didn’t she. Sharing things that shouldn’t be shared. You and I, we could have been great together. A descendant of The Greats and me, a strong and powerful witch. But you ruined that. No matter what I did, you and your special Colt could not be torn apart.”“What about the photo?” Colt croaks from the gr
Alpha ColtHer breath quickened as she kept her hand steady on my chest. Annoyance maybe, or maybe she finally accepted that someone was lying to her. And that someone was Daphne.She shakes her head at me and moves away. “You’re wrong, Colt.” “Why are you refusing to see what is right in front of you? Even after all the shit you have been through, you still want to believe her.”“She won’t lie to me.”“How many times have you heard that? How many times are you going to keep forgiving her?”“She doesn’t need forgiveness this time because it isn’t her!”“Then who? Who do you think it is? And don’t you dare say me, again!”“That Ivy girl.”I wasn’t about to tell her that Aiden isn’t certain about her, because that would just give Lilah more reason to blame her instead of the real culprit. “Ivy was with you.”“Maybe she planned something, maybe she set something up.”“You don’t believe that. You are just trying to convince yourself.”“Fuck off, Colt.” She sits down on the chair, crossin
Lilah Making my way down the steps, I’m hit with a cold breeze that almost takes my breath away. Looking back, I see Colt and Linc deep in discussion, but at the same time, I could hear Daphne down below, her quiet sobs filling the silence. “Daphne?” She stops crying and her hands appear through the bars of her cell, “Lilah? Is that really you?” Stepping in front of her cell, she pulls me in for an awkward hug, holding on tightly. “Lilah, you have to make them understand.” “I’m trying.” I mutter. “But Colt still thinks you still want revenge, that’s why he is blaming you. He is refusing to listen to me.” “You’re not wrong. I did want revenge, but only because I was angry. When I saw Linc's dead body, anger was all I felt but then… I saw him, standing in front of me, like he had never died, only his eyes were black and all the anger, it disappeared.” “Do you know what happened with the hospital?” I ask quietly She shakes her head. “Linc told me, but it doesn’t make any sense. Ho
Aiden“You want me to find out if she had something to do with the explosion? Dad, she was with me and mum when it happened.”“Well someone is hiding something.” he snaps.“I agree,” Linc nods his head at me“It’s not me, at least, I don’t think it is.” Daphne mutters from her corner. “It just doesn’t make sense.”I tell her what Ivy told me, and what she had said to my mother. Daphne violently shakes her head. “I have already said, it wouldn’t work that way.” She glances up to my father, “I don’t know what you saw, Colt, And I don’t know what you mean by the light being under my skin. But I am not responsible for everything. You have to stop blaming me.” She leans her head back against the stone wall. I could see the light flickering along her neck.“You’re doing it now.” I stare at her“What?”“The light that dad spoke of.”She looks down at her hands and rolls the sleeves up. Her mouth falls open as she stares at them. “What’s happening to me?”“You’ve not seen this before? What
Alpha Colt.“Clear the room.”Callie, Aiden and Ivy all make their way out carefully stepping over the shards of china, when Lilah starts to follow, I grab her arm. “Not you. We need to talk.”She scowls at me and tugs her arm away, letting out a groan. I wait for the door to be closed and to listen to their footsteps as they walk away.“Don’t bother, Colt.” Lilah growls at me.“With what?”“You are going to try talking me around. Convince me that Daphne is the bad person. But it’s not her Colt, it’s you.”“What are you talking about?”“This is what it’s all been about, isn’t it?”“Lilah, you are not making any sense.” I literally had no idea what she was going on about.“You never wanted me to have a sister. You wanted me for yourself, with no one around to get involved. But one by one, everyone that has been a part of my life has died. Dad, my mother. Halle, Drake, Grant, my children. The list goes on and on Colt. Who is next?”“It doesn’t mean it’s all my fault.” I snap in frustrat
Alpha Colt“No,no,no,no,no.” Linc mutters from next to me as his hand starts disappearing. His dark eyes flick up to where my mate is and back to his hand.“She’s dead!” It was the only thing that made sense. It was why Aiden was hugging his mother, it was why I could hear my mate crying. And it was why Linc was losing his hand all over again.Ivy says nothing. She watches my son and Lilah with wide blue eyes. A slight frown forming, but the frown quickly disappears when she sees me looking at her.“I will go and help.” She declares and starts climbing over the rubble towards my mate and son.“Well, I guess we didn’t need to kill her after all.” I mutter to Linc“If she’s dead, so is her magic.” He shows me that he can move around freely. “It's gone.” He beams at me but those dark eyes show an emptiness that seemed to go on forever. I could deal with Linc later, right now my mate needed me more.Aiden carries Daphne's body over the rubble back towards me. While Ivy helps to keep Lila
Lilah.“Mum, just calm down.” Aiden is growing frustrated with my pacing. “Please, just sit down.”“You are my son, why are you keeping me locked up?”“I’m just following Dad’s orders. What the hell happened in there?”“I don’t know.”“How can you not know? You were in there when the first explosion went off.”“Daphne was still unconscious. I was holding her hand when the roof started caving in. Colt, he pulled me away. He blocked me from the falling ceiling. He….” I knew he was blaming Daphne, but there had to be more to it. There just had to be.“Aiden, you need to let me go out there!”“No mum. Dad made it clear, you are to stay here with me and Ivy.”“Daphne is my sister!”“And she is the one who did this!” He glares at me with his grey eyes“I’m not so sure.” Ivy mutters from the window.“What?” Both Aiden and I speak in unison.Ivy hadn’t spoken a word since we had been in the house, well not to me anyway. She had spent the entire time watching what was happening from the window
