LilahColt stares at me for a moment, “You’re ready to let him die?”I nod my head, pushing myself into a seated position and rubbing my belly before standing. “I’m fed up. He never gives me clear answers. I would rather not know than let him carry on spilling snippets of information over the rest of my life. I don’t want him to live. I don’t want him anywhere near my pup. If someone is feeding him information….” I shake my head as I trail off, looking out the window.“What is it?” Colt asks, “You said no one is allowed to see Snare.”“They’re not.”Moving myself closer to the window, I frown. “Then tell me why Callie is heading towards the dungeons?”“Callie?” He moves next to me and I see how the surprise turns to anger. He pushes open the window. “CALLIE!” He bellows across the grounds.Callie freezes. In fact everyone does. No one moves at the sound of Colt's voice, because he sounded absolutely furious.She slowly turns her head in our direction. From here I could see how scared
Alpha ColtLilah stumbles into me as her eyes fall on the boys. Her eyes are wide as they follow the trail of blood down their bodies. Tears prick at the corners. Her mouth moves, but no sound comes out.“Lilah go back to the house.”She is silent, still and can’t take her eyes off the twins.“Lilah, go, now.”She still doesn’t move and I call to Linc through the mindlink. As we wait for him to appear, Snare continues to feed on the boys, not even bothering to stop because we were there. Blood was smeared all around his face and on his ragged clothes. Kailin hadn’t moved, her body still faced Snare.I hear Linc run down the steps, he comes to a stop just as Lilah had, his eyes on the bloody mess. “What the actual fuck?”“Linc, take Lilah back to the house. Make sure she is with someone, maybe Daphne. Come back as soon as you can.”Linc picks Lilah up when she still doesn’t respond. Snare stops feeding on one of the twins. He smiles at me, showing his teeth before locking on to one of
LilahI would never have done it without Daphne. I would never have had the guts to push the blade into his back!When the Lycans fell through the door, I had hit Daphne with my foot. Her eyes flashed open immediately. She had been pretending to be out of it too. She grabbed the blade, slicing through the rope that was binding my hands.As I rip off the gag, I feel a movement in my belly. Nothing bad, just a sign that the pup was strong. Thank fuck for that.Daphne yanked me to my feet as she rubbed her own stomach. Together we listened to the chants. The ones shouting ‘traitor’ over and over. But I knew it wasn’t aimed at me.“Colt wanted me to have the blade.” I muttered as we clung to each other.“Protection?” She mumbles back, wiping tears from her dark eyes and pushing the blade into my hands.I had shrugged my shoulders because I was still confused by what was happening. The last thing I remembered was being in the dungeon and seeing what Snare was doing.Daphne rubbed her sle
DaphneLinc kept glancing at me as Alpha Colt was explaining everything to Lilah. I still had no idea how he knew that I had killed someone.It was a few months before I met Lilah. And it was in self defence.It had been a scorching hot day. My skin was burnt from the sun as I had no protection. I had barely eaten in days. The water that I had was almost gone. I had no energy left and all I could do was sit here, in this overgrown corner.A bottle was thrown into my lap, I remember his words. “Drink, we don’t need another one dying.”I had just about opened my eyes to see a man with olive skin, standing over me. His hair slicked back, sunglasses hiding his eyes.“What do you mean, another one?” I had murmured the words. My lips were so dry and chapped that it made it difficult to talk.He didn’t answer my question. He had just told me to drink. I was so thirsty that I drank the entire bottle.“Good girl.” He had muttered before pulling me to my feet.“Let go of me!” I had shouted and
Alpha Colt.“Why don’t you ladies go grab something to eat. I need to speak to Grant.” I try and offer a smile but Lilah wasn't buying it. Instead she frowns at me. She never liked it when I said I needed to speak to someone. I had no doubt that she would question me later.“You better be nice to him.” She mutters through our mindlink as she walks away.“Only if he is telling the truth.”She flicks her long raven hair over her shoulder and scowls. “What is that supposed to mean?”“I will explain later.”Grant watches them walk away as well. “You let her come here but you wouldn’t let Sophie?”“It was the only way I could get Lilah to come back.”“Why?”“For some reason Lilah likes her. They get along so well. She actually doesn’t seem to force the friendship not like she did with that other girl, Halle. Halle was a friend, but not in the same way as these are.”“I don’t trust her.”“You don’t have too. But you need to play nice. She is Lilah’s friend. She is Linc’s… Well I don’t know
Lilah “Are you sure that you have never met him?” I ask for the tenth time. Daphne groans into the table. She had been resting her forehead on the wood since she sat down. “I swear. Sophie would never let anyone meet him. He was this huge secret. Obviously I know why now. But she would tell us things and then when questioned. She would shut us down.” “Who is ‘us’?” “Mum, Dad and me. If we started asking questions first, she would lose her shit. It would always have to be on her terms. Still, they couldn’t see how vile she was. Do you think they know? Would Alpha Colt have sent them a message or something?” “I haven’t asked, but something tells me he would. They would only start a missing person's claim otherwise. Do you miss them?” She finally lifts her head and shakes it a little. “They made my life hell in the final few years.” “Your mum, she’s not a wolf?” “No…Well nothing suggested she was. It means my dad isn’t my real dad. It’s like one surprise after another since comin
DaphneThey were freaking me out. Staring at me like I held all the answers. “There are more like me?” I mumble and Lilah beams at me.“It would seem that way. Callie, did you get a chance to find out about Daphne’s past?”Callie shakes her head. “No. That was when I found out about the bloodline. I’ve been a bit busy since.”“You were going to do some digging on me? Lilah, you could have just asked, you know that I don’t have a problem with telling you.”“We need to know who your father is. Maybe he knows more about people that are mixed breeds, you know, seeing as he fathered one.” Lilah mutters“Do we have too? I’m not really bothered about him. He didn’t raise me.”“Don’t you want to know if your birth father is still alive?” Callie asks surprised.“Do you think he cared to stay in my life?”“Maybe he didn’t know.” Lilah suggests. “It’s not like anyone is going to go around saying that they had sex with a human is it?”I hear a stifled laugh come from Callie. She turns away as I
Linc“I’m serious Daphne. If you want our bond to be fixed, you will keep your mouth shut. You won’t say anything to Lilah about what I have just told you.” I had fucked up by telling her. Yet at the same time, I felt like I had to tell her.She glares at me as she presses her lips into a thin line. Her arms fold across her chest, pushing her rounding belly out a little further. “You can’t be serious? She deserves to know.”“He has changed. He does not do it anymore. He stopped when he realised what Lilah was. We haven’t come across any half-breeds not until now and we have travelled the world chasing Lilah.”“But he still killed thousands. You know he threatened your pup!” She snaps at me“He wouldn’t”“Why would I bother lying about something like that? He has an evil side and you just can’t see it.” She drops her gaze, frowning into her lap and sighs. “None of you make anything easy, do you?”“Our way is straight forward.”“What, the constant lies? The secrets? You may think that,
