LilahI knew he was awake. As I pulled open the refrigerator door, I sensed him. Immediately he started calling to me. Growing more and more frustrated as I ignored him. He would turn his anger to Linc next, but Linc had told me that he was prepared. That they had been waiting for this day for six weeks.I had checked in every few days, letting Linc know that I was good. That I had found somewhere to live and most importantly that I was safe. And safe is how I had felt for the past six weeks, but that feeling was slowly fading now that I knew Colt was awake.I was happy that he had recovered, but at the same time, I knew my time here would be coming to an end. Colt would force me back to that pack.“You look like you have seen a ghost.” Daphne mutters as she reaches up to the shelves.“It’s fine.”“You sure? You don’t look so great.”I had met Daphne a few weeks ago. She had been curled up in the corner of the bus shelter. Her clothes soaked from the pouring rain. Her chocolate hair s
Alpha Colt“I don’t care what you are saying. She is drunk, Linc. You know how I feel about her drinking! Look what happened the last time!”“Is she in danger?” He pulls his phone from his pocket and shakes his head. “No message. She is fine.”“Linc, you need to remember your position. I am not asking. I am telling you. Take me to her!” I growl as he pockets the phone. Since when had he used a mobile? How much had I missed in the last six weeks?“You never make it easy, do you?”“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”“I have already explained that she will come back when she is ready. Dragging her back isn’t going to help. Maybe you should give her a chance. She has lasted this long.”I glare at him and he shuts his mouth, shaking his head..“She has been gone for six weeks.”“And in those six weeks, nothing has happened. Besides, you have been unconscious. I did the right thing, I have been keeping an eye on her.” He mutters as he stands between me and the door.“Linc, this is you
Alpha ColtI reach forward. Wrapping my fingers around the handle of the wooden spoon. It snaps in my hand and she just stares at me. “You bastard. That was my good cooking spoon!”“Daphne, will you stop and just shut up for a second!” Linc had shifted back and was pulling his clothes back on.“You have a lot to teach the human.” I mutter at him“Will you please stop referring to her as ‘the human’. It’s bad enough that her scent is a constant reminder that she is not one of us."“Hey, I don’t stink. Even when I was homeless, I never smelt bad!”Why did Lilah like this human? She doesn’t even remotely understand what Linc is talking about.“Shut up!” A groggy Lilah shouts from her bedroom.“Right, you two, figure this out.” I make my way back to Lilah’s bedroom. Her top half of her body was hanging over the edge of the bed like she had attempted to climb out. Her eyes are still closed. I could hear her stomach gurgling and I knew what was coming. She was moments away from spewing her
LilahHis scent somehow seemed stronger. Maybe it was because we had been a part for so long or maybe my brain had just forgotten how good he smelt.“I…”“Please. You can’t stay here. Look what almost happened to you last night.”“Colt…”“Lilah, this is not the place for you. What if the other humans find out what you are? You were lucky with Daphne. Other humans won’t be so kind.”“Will you just let me answer your question!” I spin so that I could see his face. “What if you don’t go back?”It was a risk, asking such a thing. But I knew he hadn’t lived in a pack either. Not properly. He had moved from pack to pack, looking for me. He didn’t have a true home either.He frowns and looks around the bedroom. “You want me to live here?”“It doesn’t have to be here. Just not in a pack.”“Lilah, you are their future Queen, you can’t hide from them.”“QUEEN!” I turn to see Daphne and Linc had finally stopped trying to eat each others faces. Daphne had her hands on her hips and was staring at
Alpha ColtLilah tenses up as my hand rests on her thigh.“You okay?”“Hmmm!” I could feel her skin heating up under her clothes. Her neck starts to flush and gradually the redness moves up to her face. I could smell the change in her scent too. It was early, but she was coming back into heat.“You don’t look so good.” Daphne mutters as she peers over the menu, looking at Lilah.“Thanks!” Lilah snaps back through gritted teeth. She glares at me like it was my fault that she was in heat again. I guess it’s technically true seeing as I am her mate.Linc tosses the car keys across the table at me. He knew what was happening.“How are you going to get back? She can’t shift!”“I will figure it out.”“Is someone going to tell me what is going on? Are we leaving? I haven’t even ordered yet.”“No. The King and Lilah are leaving.” Linc winks at me“Why?”“He needs to take care of something.”“Then we should all go.” Daphne mutters, deflated.Linc shakes his head at his new mate as I hold a ha
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.
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
