Dom’s POV The sound of Kit’s bedroom door opening and closing alerted me that Alpha Jace had finally left her room, and I moved to peek out of Kit’s father’s study to see him walking down the hallway towards the stairs. His facial expressions were unreadable, and I wondered how the rest of their conversation went, after I decided it was not my place to listen in on what they were discussing, even though I already knew that she wasn’t planning on going back to Mystic Shadow with him. As if he could feel my eyes on him, his head turned in my direction, and our eyes met, and by the look in his eyes, I could tell even though he was trying to do his best to hide it, that he was hurting, knowing that he had just lost her. If anyone knew that look and that feeling it was me, because I had lost Kit twice in my life, and I wasn’t going to allow it to happen again. Alpha Jace turned his course of direction towards me, and I waited in the doorway t
Kit’s POV My heart felt heavy hearing Dom’s confession to me, but I couldn’t do this right now. Everyone was worried about me and where my heart was, but right now, my heart ached to get my son back. There was no denying that I still loved Dom, and I always would, and I would never reject the bond that the Moon Goddess gave us, even if it meant setting me free from the torcher his love did to me. But right now, I couldn’t go down that path with him, because he needed to not focus on me, but focus on getting our son back from his Luna and Red Moon. Realizing pushing him away and ignoring him, wasn’t going to work, as he remained standing there for an answer from me, I finally turn my head to him and say, “Dom, we can’t do this right now. Focus on getting our son back, and we will talk after this is all over.” Dom instantly began to shake his head at me, and I wondered why he was staring at me like he was upset with me, but
Jace’s POV My heart felt broken, heading into this meeting with Cresent Moon, but I knew that I had to do everything in my power to save Damian. My pack was damned without an heir, and my lack of finding my fated mate over the years and my inability to produce an heir for them weighed on my shoulders heavily.I thought that Katrina had been sent to me by the Moon Goddess herself, but it was clear that wasn’t the case. Over the years, I had thought that Katrina would form a bond towards me, but she kept herself at arm’s length from me. I couldn’t bring myself to force myself onto her, but with the pack council on my back, I felt forced into making her my mate, because I knew that she would stand by me just as I stood by her.But with the phone call with her father’s illness coming just after my proposal to her, it was as if it was a sign that I needed to allow her to see if there was anything still back home for her, before I forced her into this union of convenience fo
Jace’s POV Her hair was the color of fire, running all the way past her plump breasts, and her eyes were as blue as the sea, capturing my soul with just one look from her. We both stood there, frozen in time, gazing at one another, as the muffled sound of Alpha Issac’s voice echoed in the room, but I couldn’t make out what he was saying, as all my senses were tuned into one thing, and that was her. A soft smile slowly formed onto her face, and I couldn’t help but to reciprocate by smiling back at her. I had searched high and low for my fated mate, but had always come up empty, that was until now. It was as if the Moon Goddess was finally shining her blessing upon me, making me realize that everything that I had done and sacrificed, didn’t go unnoticed. Lost in the haze, I somehow got to my feet, and closed the distance between us, as it felt like those few feet were like being miles apart. Staring down at her, her chest began to rise hea
Dom’s POV “Alpha Domonic. Alpha Domonic…” My eyes slowly opened to my name being called, awakening me after I must have fallen asleep at Kit’s father’s desk, in his study, early in the morning hours. After the conversation I had had with Kit last night, I found myself unable to leave here, wanting to make sure that she remained safe throughout the night. As I raised my head from the stack of papers piled on the desk, my eyes focused on the doorway, to see Ms. Caroline standing there, patiently waiting for me to respond to her. “Good morning, Ms. Caroline. Is everything okay?” I asked her as I ran my hands through my hair, trying to put it back in place, but I knew I had to look a mess, after everything that had happened last night, and by my scent I was taking in, I honestly needed a hot shower. “Alpha, everything is okay, you need not to worry. I came to tell you that breakfast will be ready soon, and that I had the master’s suite prepa
Kit’s POV The pain killers that the pack doctor had given me thankfully allowed me to sleep through most of the night, allowing my body to heal, but it was clear that my ribs were going to take a while to heal verses the rest of my wounds. With the help of Ms. Caroline, I was able to take a bath, washing away the evidence of yesterday’s assault externally. But internally, it was going to take some time to heal, and I didn’t just mean my ribs. Last night while I slept, the assault haunted my dreams, and I knew even though I did what I had to do, I still took a life, and that wasn’t something one just got over. I feared that my soul would forever be tainted by it, even though I knew if I hadn’t taken his life, he would have taken my own and maybe even my sister’s. With some help, I was able to make it to the dining room for breakfast, but I was shocked when I entered the room. Dom sat at the head of the table, the same seat that my father
Kit’s POV A smile formed on my face when my eyes met with hers, as I was happy not for just Alpha Jace, but for her too, because I knew how it felt to find your fated mate. The smile that was beaming on her face, along with the body language between them, told me that they were very much happy together, and it made me wish that things between Dom and I could have been this easy like it obviously was for them. But unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy, and we still had a bumpy road ahead of us, and I honestly wasn’t sure what our future held.As I took in all of this, it was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, knowing that without Damian and I in his life, Alpha Jace wouldn’t be alone. It was as if the Moon Goddess blessed him, after everything that he had done for us, and my heart felt full knowing that he would finally be happy.Alpha Jace was a good man, with a big heart, and if anyone deserved happiness, it was him, and by the looks of things right now, he
Dom’s POV Relief washed not just through me hearing that we have the men that we needed, but I could see it also wash through Kit, as I could sense an immediate change in her, with Alpha Jace’s news. This was the news that we had both needed to hear today, especially after everything that Kit had gone through yesterday.Not only was Kit an emotional wreck, but it was apparent that she was in a grave amount of pain, but didn’t want to be alone in her room, and I honestly couldn’t blame her. Right now, she needed to be surrounded by those that she trusted, so that she could seek comfort, until I brought our son back home.Kit at that moment squeezed my hand, as she turned to look at me, and I could see the tears in her eyes threatening to spill from them, but at this moment I didn’t know if they were tears of happiness that I would be heading into battle to get our son back, or if they were tears of sadness and pain. “We have to get him back.” Kit says finally to me, and
