Days have passed since our wolves bonded and marked each other. And somehow we could read each other’s thoughts all the time.Every now and again me and Lucian sit talking to each other for minutes on end without realizing that we are talking telepathically.A couple of times Layla and Damian would just stare at us like we were crazy and reminded us that they too would like to be part of the conversation.We mostly ended up talking about the baby shower as well as the inevitable war that is dangling by a string.Our baby shower would be today and my bump had suddenly out of the blue decided to grow to the size of a soccer ball.I stood looking at my bump in the mirror while caressing it. Our baby shower would be today. I had on a puff sleeved tulle maternity dress that made me look further along than I truly was.It was in a burnt orange color that brought out my autumn red hair. Lucian came a stood behind me placing his hand on my belly making our little pup high five him through my
(Warning very graphic Chapter do not read on if you cannot handle violence or death please skip)After a few shy smiles and a long pause filled with awkward silence Asher again turned around to leave.As I saw him taking his first few steps away I was battling within myself I wanted him to stay but I didn’t want to make Lucian feel betrayed. I no longer loved him but he did play a role in my past both extremely good and bad. “Wait… Stay” I heard the words leave from someone else’s mouth.With a deep husky voice in a tone that seemed unsure. I turned my head to watch the man I love so much seem to have a battle with in himself.“If we as alphas are making amends the least you can do is stay for the rest of this party out of respect of course” Asher slowly turned on his heels an awkward smile hanging at his face.“Sure Alpha Lucian” Asher said and I heard Lucian chuckle beside me.“I see you’ve finally learned respect.” I watched as the two men carried on like best of friends for hours
Lucian:I watched as my mate fell into herself clutching her knees as close to her chest as her baby belly allowed her too. And although I heard the screams and the wails from her mother filling the air, I couldn’t hear my mate crying, screaming or even breathing heavily. As she started to regain her composure and started to stand up straight again, I felt her disappear within our bond. Not in the way of death or the bond being severed, but simply like she was swallowed into a darkness and although I saw her standing right in front of me, she was no longer the she wolf I had known and loved.It’s like a mask was placed on her mind and her feelings. I stared into her soulless eyes and she just stared back at me blankly shrugging her shoulders before she made her way over to Saige’s body. I tried to feel her emotions and I felt nothing. She felt nothing. I was taken aback by her blankness.And I started to miss her conflicting emotions that had seemed to taken over her mind more o
Scarlet:I laid in the middle of a pool filled with dark liquid. I sat in the on a stone and looked over the dark waters trying to see something or anything a place to swim to.But instead I just saw the never ending dark liquid vanishing into more darkness. I sat on this rock looking at the name engraved on to it with quilt swallowing me up whole.“Saige”. It read in cursive. I kept remembering the heart wrenching howl of my mother when she realized Saige was dead.As well as the agony that fell among her face.I hated myself for doing that to her. Removing her first and only born daughter. I thought about myself and how I would’ve felt.I would’ve hated the person that took my son from me. And I could only assume that she felt the same.And honestly I don’t blame her. I felt guilt for placing her in that position not for killing Saige and not for protecting my unborn child.I was still sad about her death and I did love her even though I didn’t want to. My emotions where conflicting
I watched as my daughter single-handedly disarmed and dismembered the guards that were sent to attack her.Aiden became more furious as the number of guards went down. He started pushing guards out of his way.When he came face to face with Scarlet whose chest was moving up and down from her heavy breathing.They stared at one another and the hatred for each other rolled off their aura in waves. The tension was high.“I guess I’ve got to deal with the trash on my own” Aiden said and scarlet growled into his face with her canines inches from his nose.Aiden’s eyes grew green as he summoned vines from the ground tying off Scarlets feet.She tried to claw her way out but it was all in vain. I took a step forward and suddenly felt an hand grip my wrist.I tried to loosen myself from the iron grip but when I realized it wasn’t going to happen I turned to see Astraeus shaking his head.“This has to happen Selene you cannot intervene”“Astraeus she’s alone and within her late stages of pregn
Lucian:I stood in front of the door thinking everything over in my head wondering what to do in this situation.Maybe I should get help what if they refuse to help Scarlet. Have they already decided to abandon her?Maybe it’s too early… they are still mourning the death of one daughter I can’t just throw this news at them and expect them to take the news well or be efficient at bringing her back.Although in my opinion its way overdue she’s been away from me for far too long. Suddenly I felt a pat on my back and shot my head to see whomever it came from.An arrogant smile stared back at me his eyes icy blue eyes somehow felt warmer and then I realized his canines were back.The two empty spaces that were so prominent and a soothing sight to me had been filled up.A shiver went down my spine. Oh for goddess sake. You know what moon goddess you’ll owe me after I save your daughter and I think a break will be the least you could do.I sighed as the memories replayed in my mind.“Please
Scarlet:“Scarlet” I heard my mom’s voice call out to me I lifted my head from my knees and scanned the waters that laid just below my toes. I didn’t see her at all so I just automatically assumed it was in my all in my head.I prepared myself for the next scene of her shouting and screaming at me for killing her only daughter and hating me for it. “Scarlet” I heard her voice once more call out to me. It was soft and gentle. A caring tone filled with worry.“Come back to me, my dear.”I looked down at the water before me and saw her worried face reflecting from it. Her eyes were sad and the bags under them seemed like the same endless darkness that plagued my heart. “It wasn’t your fault dear” Her voice cracked at the word fault. I could only think that she was recalling the moment she saw Saige dead in the woods. “Scarlet darling”My father stepped closer, placing his arm around my mother’s waist pulling her into his chest whilst she wept.A tear streamed down my cheek filled w
It’s been days since I’ve gotten out of my own prison. It’s been both heartbreaking and warming at the same time.My mother hasn’t reached out to me yet and although my father has been coming around every day to check up on both me and his grandsons wellbeing my mother hasn’t come at all.My father kept saying that it’s not because she doesn’t love me or care for me but she is mourning.I knew he was right and honestly I loved her and understood where she was coming from. Losing your child at the hands of your other child is hard to wrap your mind around.My pack however congratulated me on defeating our enemy all by myself.I gained a lot of respect from all of the high ranking warriors of our pack including our gamma which in return made me proud of myself too.Although most of it was my wolf without her we would’ve probably still been stuck within a big mess.I blew over my steaming hot coffee looking out over the Los angles view from our living room.I sat snug in my mates lap lea
