2024-10-29 19:42:56Alpha Colt’s POV
Opening the door, I find the bedroom empty, the windows wide open. The curtains blowing in the wind.
“Fucking moron!” I curse myself. I hadn’t handcuffed her again, believing that she was locked safely in the bedroom. It hadn’t occurred to me that the windows might not be locked.
Leaning out of the window, I pick up her citrus scent. She was alone, no one had helped her. Though I was impressed that she had landed without hurting herself. Lilah wasn’t exactly in the healthiest condition and it wasn’t a small drop to the ground either.
I call out to her through mindlink, just as I see a foot disappear into the forest. She doesn’t respond. I was both annoyed and surprised that she was already trying to escape. I thought she would have at least waited until she felt better.
“Stupid fucking girl!” I mutter.
Storming through the packhouse, I bump into Alpha Wyatt. For once, Juniper wasn’t hanging off his arm.
“Is something wrong?”
“Lilah has taken off!”
“Oh! You’re going after her?” He inquires
“Of course I am. She has no idea where she is. She is hardly going to be in safe hands out there is she?!” This idiot was always asking me stupid questions.
“Doesn’t your room back on to the forest?” He inquires.
“Yes, why?” He had allocated the room to me, he should know this.
He clenches his jaw together. He was hiding something. “You better tell me now!”
“We have been having a problem with Rogue Lycans.” He glances away, but I knew there was more. “We have lost a few of the pack to them.”
“Rogue Lycans?” They had to be from years ago when my father was in charge. Rogues were not a thing for me. Banishment was a waste of time. Rogues would just cause more of a problem. Death was straightforward and I would never have to worry about them again.
He nods his head at me. “They have taken up space at the edge of my pack, on the other side of the stream.”
“Why the fuck has no one said anything? I could have dealt with them when I arrived.” This pack was in shambles. The Alpha was a pussy and I couldn’t say much about his wife, other than she was an annoying bitch.
“We didn’t want to be in your debt!”
“You will always be in my debt. Do you understand! I am your King. This is strike one, Wyatt.
Shoving him into the wall, I march out of the house. Racing around the building, I enter the forest where I had seen Lilah disappear. Her scent was strong and she was annoyed. I could feel that much through the link.
Stripping off, I shift into my beast. At almost seven feet tall with broad shoulders and back, you would think you could hear me coming. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Moving carefully, I place my feet where nothing would be disturbed. The soft earth moulding to my feet.
Her scent was easy to follow. There was a point where her scent was stronger. I’m guessing she sat for a moment, trying to catch her breath.
Every instinct told me to call to her, to order her to come back. But that would make her hate me more. That wasn’t what I needed. Instead I want to follow her. I want to know what her plan is, what she is going to do.
Picking up the sounds of the stream, I panic slightly. Knowing what Wyatt had said. We were close to the Rogues and Lilah was heading straight towards them.
My foot hits a twig and I feel her annoyance turn into fear. Her scent changes too, becoming mixed with another. She wasn’t alone. Fuck!
Running on all fours, I charge towards the stream just as Lilah lets out a muffled sound.
“Lilah, talk to me.” I linked her, hoping that she would say something because her mind had gone blank. Her feelings had faded away.
Diving across the stream into the nearly black forest, I let out a howl. Rogue or not, if they are putting Lilah in danger, their life is over.
Her scent is almost clouded by the Rogues here. If I hadn’t been mated to her, I probably wouldn’t be able to smell her.
“Lilah!” I call out through the link again. I needed her to fight. Rogues were a different kind of Lycan. They were feral and fed off of people, wolves and other Lycans.
Racing forwards. I see her arms stretched out across the ground, half hidden by a thick bush. Something drags her into the bush. She makes no sound.
Jumping on it, I land on top of a Rogue Lycan. It’s dark yellow eyes glowing at me in the darkness.
“She is mine!” I growl
“I found her” He snaps back.
“Bow, you fucking idiot. I am your King!”
The Rogue glances at me and then to Lilah. He starts laughing. “She is a wolf. What kind of Lycan King is mated to a wolf?”
He takes a swipe at me as I lock my teeth around his leg. His claws sink into my skin , raking through me, splitting my back open. He half laughs, half howls as he thinks he has won. Rising to my feet, I place myself between Lilah and the Rogue. His yellow eyes searched me, like he was looking for a weak spot. He lunges as I force my claws into his stomach.
Clasping his neck with my free hand, I let my claws sink into his throat. My hand squeezes tighter and tighter. His yellow eyes bulge. He lets out some gurgling noises as his neck splits from his shoulders.
Tossing his head to the ground. Turning around to pick up Lilah, I was ready to take her home. But once again I could feel her fear. She was awake and staring at me. Her grey eyes wide.
“You killed him!”

Lilah’s POVHis knock comes at the bedroom door. He musky oak scent wafting in through the small gap under the door.“Fuck off!” I shout, making it clear that I didn’t want him anywhere near me. He steps into the room, his eyes on me as he shakes his head.It had been three days since he had brought me back here. He had kept me locked in this room all day every day. If he wasn’t in here with me, I was cuffed to the bed. There was no way that I was escaping this time.We hadn’t talked about what he did. We had hardly spoken about anything. The only thing he had done was explain what a Rogue was. Mum had never mentioned them. You would think she would have told me about Lycan’s and wolves that are banished. Especially when she wanted me to look after myself.The lack of knowledge made me feel stupid. Alpha Colt tried to tell me that it wasn’t my fault, but it didn’t change how stupid I had been.

Lilah’s POVMy mouth drops open. I knew I couldn’t. The Moon goddess had been so fed up of mates rejecting each other over the years. Over two decades ago wolves and Lycans began to discover they couldn’t reject each other. She had made it impossible for us to say those words. There was always a reason she chose the couple.“I…. I….” I try to say the words, but they don’t even form. “Can’t, can you?” He cocks an eyebrow at me.“Li….Lil….Lilah” I keep trying. Hoping that the words would start coming. I was stunned into silence. When I couldn’t even get out my whole name.“Trust me, Lilah. I tried. For the first year of you being on the run. I tried over and over to reject you, because you were a child. But I couldn’t. For some reason, the Moon Goddess wants us to be together. I know you hate it. I feel it with every fibre of your being. You make it more than clear that you don’t want to be around me. But I promise, I will never hurt you.” He smiles and shoots a wink at me “Not unless

A Fucking Psychopath!” She practically spits out the words.“Why would you even think that?” It’s not what I want my mate to think of me. I don’t want her to hate me. I don’t want her to fear me. But here, right now. She finally tells me what she thinks.“Mum told me everything I need to know.”“Your mother didn’t know me!” I fire back, trying to keep my cool. “She knew enough.”“And what was that, Lilah? What shit did your mother tell you?"“That you are a killer! You destroy everything. You hurt everyone around you.”“I saved you from that Rogue, Lilah. He would have eaten you and he wouldn’t have killed you first. He would have snapped a limb off. Just a little at a time. A finger. A thumb, maybe your hand. Would you rather I let that happen to you?!”She doesn’t answer me. Her grey eyes finally looked away from me. It was harsh, but it was the truth. I was

Colt “Traitors?” She mumbles. It was a harsh word in the wolf world. It was just as bad to the Lycans. It meant they had committed the greatest crime. A crime that meant only death was the answer. There was no coming back from it. There was no way you could ever ask for forgiveness. Everyone would want you dead. “Yes Lilah. They both were. You are the daughter of traitors. Do you understand now why I had to protect you?” “No, I don’t believe you. You have to be wrong.” Standing up, I hover over her. Deciding how to play my next move. I was done with skirting the issue. Sitting next to her on the carpeted floor. She doesn’t recoil, she doesn’t flinch even when my arm brushes against hers. “Lilah, how do you think I became the King?” I had never known a wolf to have so much denial. I had to find a way to make her understand how serious her situation was. How serious it still is! “Your dad would have died.” She mumbles, keeping her eyes in front of her.

My heart races as a naked Alpha Colt holds his hands up in defence.“What the actual fuck?!”“Lilah, just chill.”“You want me to chill? Really? I think I have a right to be fucking mad at you, you wanker.”“Watch your mouth, Lilah. I have already warned you more than once.”“You better not have fucking touched me!” I was so mad. Climbing out of the bed, I snatch the blanket with me. Holding it around me even though I was wearing his giant tshirt. I felt violated.“Lilah, this is my room. My bed. I think I have been more than generous by sleeping on the floor. Besides, you loved me being in bed.”“I fucking hate you!” I storm towards the ensuite, fully prepared for him to follow me. As expected, he is right behind me.“Lilah, you were the one who curled into me. Not the other way around.”“I wouldn’t do that. Not after you called my family traitors.” I was finding it so hard to keep my eyes focuss

Her grey eyes narrowed in pure hatred. “This is all because of you!” “Fucking hell Lilah. You’re trying to blame me for something your parents started. If they had never plotted against my father, we wouldn’t be here. You would have grown up and found out I was your mate anyway.”“You are un-fucking-believable.” She stands up, wiping the tears from her face.“Why Lilah? Why am I?”She doesn’t speak. But I could feel her inner battle. A mixture of hatred and desire. “You want answers, Lilah. I can give them to you. But you won’t believe me.”“It’s your word.

When I had questioned her she said that it would be the one thing that would stop him. She had warned me, telling me that I should never let it touch my skin. Could she have really done it? Could she really have been responsible?“Do you believe me now Lilah?” His voice is low. All this time, she had lied to me. My own mum.“That caused the scar?” I ask quietly, weighing up my lack of options.“Fire and wolfsbane are a deadly mix. What your parents didn’t account for was me. They didn’t know I was going to be there. They didn’t know that their very action would allow me to find you.”I take a few deep breaths. His hand wraps around my ankle, pulling my leg up onto his lap. The sparks of his touch had butterflies swarming in my stomach. Why couldn’t I block these feelings? Why was my body trying to force me into accepting him?I see a smile spread

An Alpha should know who is staying on his land. I’m surprised that it’s taken him so long. He should have done that the moment he knew you were here.”“Are you even listening to me? He knows who I am, Alpha Colt. He knows.”“Lilah, you need to chill. He knows nothing.”“You said it yourself. You said they would kill me if they found out.”“There is one way of stopping that from happening.” I muse. It was going to happen anyway. She might as well just let me mark her.“No fucking way.”“Fine, but you can’t expect me to help and then not let me help. That’s not how this works.” She comes to a halt. Her eyes narrow at me, but at least she stops chewing on her fingers.“I will figure it out on my own.” She groans.“How do you expect to do that?” I was curious. Her only form of true protection was my mark.“Well obviously

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
