Lilah’s POV

The accident replays over and over in my head. How the pull on my heart had strengthened moments before. Was he already watching me? He must have been close enough to have called to me. Could he have had something to do with the crash? Was he responsible for my mum's death?

The doctor pulls back the curtain and smiles at me.

“How are you feeling today?” She was always so damn chirpy!

“Like I was hit by a truck” I snap sarcastically.

“Okay. I just need to do some checks if you don’t mind?”

“Do I have a choice?” I looked at my wrist which had been handcuffed to the bed. I wouldn’t be going anywhere unless Alpha Colt had a say in it.

She lets out a giggle and clips her blonde hair back. Were they all this stupid? Is this what pack life did to them?

My mum had always been desperate for a pack to protect us. She thought it was our only option. Yet I was always secretly grateful when we were kicked out. I hated pack life, hated being told what to do by one person. Hated everyone knowing my business.

“Well, you are looking much better. Still waiting for those bones to heal though. They should speed up a bit after tomorrow.”

Tomorrow, my eighteenth. A day that I had been looking forward to and yet feared at the same time. It was worse now that mum wasn’t here. I always thought that I would get to celebrate it with her,

“Great!” I roll my eyes. But I was fighting back the tears. I didn’t want anyone to see me cry. They would think I was weak.

His musky oak scent suddenly hits me, along with that tug on my heart. He hadn’t been to see me since I had woken up yesterday, something that I was grateful for. But he had already cuffed me to the bed.

He appears just outside of my room. His cobalt blue eyes scanned over me as he rakes a hand through his short dark hair.  He doesn’t move and waits for the doctor to speak to him. It was hardly like they were talking in private, I could hear every word they spoke. 

The doctor tells him that she thinks I’m in pain because of my sarcastic comments. Of course I am in pain, I was in a car accident and both my fucking legs are broken.

“You’re awake.” He states the obvious

“Been awake since yesterday!” I snap in annoyance, refusing to look at him.

“And feeling sarcastic I see.”

“What do you want with me?” After all this time, I still didn’t know. It couldn’t just be because we were mates. Why would he have spent so long looking for me?

There’s a hint of a smirk at the corner of his lips. “It’s rare for anyone to speak to me like that and get away with it.”

“Do you think I care? You killed my dad and most likely killed my mum too.”

He lets out a sigh as he sinks into the chair beside my bed. He scratches the stubble on his chin. “Your father betrayed my father. As for your mother, I wasn’t involved. That was your own doing.”

“But you let her die!” I turn my head away, signalling that I was done.

“You may feel like that now Lilah, but maybe your mother got what was coming to her!”

“What the fuck did you say?!” I was livid. If only I could get out of the bed, I would have punched him in the face.

“You heard me. I am the King of Alpha’s and she has been keeping you away from me. She refused to bow. Her fate was sealed, whether it was by my hands or in the hands of the Moon Goddess.”

“She chose not to bow for a good fucking reason!”

“Oh Lilah, you have so much to learn.”

“I’m not learning anything from you! I already know the truth. Mum taught me everything I needed to know”

“Lilah, you can at least listen!”

“Just you wait until I have healed. I will make you pay for what you said about my mum!” every inch of me was fighting the pull. The desire to be with him, the need to have his body pressed against mine. I hated the mate bond, but it was going to get so much worse tomorrow.

“Just one more day Lilah. You won’t be able to resist me.” He was too calm for my liking. Irritatingly unbothered.

“Try me!” I growl through clenched teeth and he stands up laughing.

“I don’t need to try. I already know.”

He walks out, practically belly laughing as a nurse appears. I hadn’t seen her before and she gives me a smile as she places a jug of water by my bed.

“Hi, I’m nurse Halle.” She looks back as the Alpha exits. “I assume things didn’t go well?”

“No, he is a fucking moron!”

Her green eyes widened at my declaration. “Please don’t call him that.”

“Why do you care? It’s not like you are mated to him! You don’t owe him anything.”

She tucks a strand of jet black hair behind her ear. “He is the King of Alpha’s and your actions could get us all into trouble.”

“What do you mean?” I was curious, how I would have anything to do with them.

“If he punishes one, he punishes all of us.”

“That is fucked up!” I knew there was a reason as to why I hated pack life. It was the same everywhere. Every Alpha punished the entire pack for one mistake. It was how they stayed in control. How no one ever challenged them.

“It’s just how it is around here. It’s easier when he isn’t here.”

“This isn’t Red Bay Pack?” That was the name of the latest pack we had been kicked out of. The Hotel mum and I stayed in hadnt been too far. So why had Alpha Colt taken me somewhere else?

“No, we are one of the smaller packs. White Crescent. You were too injured to be moved any further. Alpha Colt practically screamed at all of us to save you. I hate to think what would have happened if you died.”

My mouth drops open. Why was he so desperate to keep me alive?

“I would have been better off dead!” I remember everything my mum had told me about him. The packs he had brutally slaughtered. The way he would wipe out wolves and Lycans if they stepped out of line.

“Things can’t be that bad. Besides, I think you are lucky to be mated to him. I haven’t even met my mate.”

“Then you have no reason to stay. Escape with me!” I offer. It was a long shot, but I would need help to get away. She shakes her head and looks at me as if I was mad.

“You have broken legs. There is no chance you are going anywhere. And I am not stupid enough to do that.”

I inwardly groan as I stare at my battered legs. She was right though. We wouldn’t make it far. Not when I couldn’t even stand up.

I was left alone for the rest of the day. Halle popped in before she finished her shift, making sure that I was drinking enough. She tutted when she saw my cup from the morning hadn’t been touched. 

“You need to drink and I will see you in the morning.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” I tut, making her laugh. I just wanted out. Why did they think I was messing about and joking?

Closing my eyes, I let out a groan. “Why are you back?” I snort as his scent wafts in.

“I thought you might want this to read.” He drops my book on the bed next to me.

“Where did you get it?”

“My Beta grabbed it from the wreckage.” He turns his back on me.

“Wait –why?”

“It seems important to you. You didn’t have a lot but it's something you kept.”

“Oh,” I was confused by the act. I had only known him to be a psychopath. Not someone who cared.

If he wants Lilah to heal he should behave like an adult and show some patience towards her and be more understanding. Afterall she was just a child when they were fated and chasing after her for seven years is not the same as persuong an adult female.

I couldn’t help but scream out in pain. The doctor comes running in. The hospital lighting up as the doctor tries to pump meds into me. But nothing helped. Nothing stopped the burn. “What’s going on?” Alpha Colt practically shoves a doctor out the way to look at me. “They are trying to reset.” I hear the doctor call out “Why now?” Alpha Colt yells back over the top of my screams. “It’s past midnight.” The doctor yells back. I was officially eighteen and my body was making me suffer. Instead of shifting, my wolf abilities had kicked in and my body was trying to heal. My bones were snapping and resetting correctly. “Then help her!” He demands. “We can’t, this is her wolf trying to correct everything.” “Make it stop!” I beg through the tears.

    Lilah’s POVI was mortified. My body had reacted against my wishes, crumbling under his touch. The tighter he held me, the more I craved him. I couldn’t stop it. Waves of desire rippled through my body. It was why I started kicking and screaming. I had to hide what my body was doing. I didn’t want him to know how much I hated it and enjoyed it.Alpha Colt ends up dropping me on the floor of the shower. My clothes were soaked from the water. Clinging to my body, no longer hiding how my bones stuck out. He doesn’t care. How could he? He was heartless. He throws a bottle of shower gel at me.Giant tears roll down my cheeks. I quickly wipe them away. Alpha Colt turns his back on me, shaking his head and walks out of the ensuite.I didn’t care if he could see me through the open door. I didn’t care that he was watching me. This man had ruined my life, he had taken everything from me.Hugging my knees to my chest as the water trickled over me. I no longer fight the tears and let them flow.

    Alpha 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

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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

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.

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

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.

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.
