Elio I never liked this fucker and if he thinks for one second, he is going to take my little wolf. He’s insane. With Kara out of danger, I can allow myself to focus. I zone out the heat from the sun, the stone walls and dusty floor. I assume my position, ready to attack. The smell of sweat and Dawson’s thumping heart rings in my ears. Bring it on fucker. I land my fist square to his jaw as he stumbles back, hearing a sickening crunch. When he turns to face me, his nose is bleeding before he spits out a tooth. “Is that all you’ve got?” He glowers at me with such disdain I decide to remind him who is messing with. He thinks he knows who I am. Let’s find out for sure. If he wants to take on the devil, I’m happy to oblige. “You only have yourself to blame ‘alpha’ Dawson. Did you seriously think hiding your lover wouldn’t lead to all your debts? Shall I collect now what you owe me?” I sneer as his flicker with fear as I let the flames appear in my iris. With the energy leaving his body,
Kara My screams filled the air as the guards forcefully pulled me away, their grip tight and implacable. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I screamed with all my might. Was Elio seriously going to take Dawson on alone with a gun? A gun I know loaded is with lethal silver bullets. Yes, he’s powerful, but he’s not a god. He could get hurt. “Elio, tell this guard to let go of me this second!” I snap frantically through the link, my voice laced with desperation as I see him land the first punch. The sound of flesh meeting flesh resounds through the air, echoing in my ears. I can taste the silvery tang of adrenaline on my tongue. I feel a little better knowing he is an excellent fighter, but he has faced nothing like this before. Ignoring me, his gaze laser focused on the surrounding chaos. Frustration washes over me. What is he thinking? His brother almost died. He’s my mate, my everything, in danger, and I can’t bear the thought of losing him. I love him with every fibre of
ElioThere is a ringing sound in my ears. My eyes focused on the barrel pointed towards me. A blinding pain radiates from my chest so unbearable it’s hard to breathe. Patting my shirt, feeling it sticky with blood as I gaze at my palms. I search my body for the source of where to blood came from, not able to find an entry wound for the bullet. I can smell the metallic taste of blood. It’s familiar but I can’t think why? Crimson liquid pools at my feet, a thick red colour covering the beige, dusty street.My eyes trace the blood, looking for the source as agony claws at my chest. I see a small, fragile body crumpled in the ground mere inches from my feet. Little wolf?No.No, it can’t be. She was standing behind me with Katie. How did she even move so fast? I didn’t even see her. No, it’s not her. I pull on the thread of our bond, hoping it will give me the hope I need. A shiver runs down my spine when I realise the pain I feel isn’t mine but hers. I focus on her hearing a faint heartb
ElioI stood outside whilst the doc and his team took Kara in for surgery. The clocked tick by slower than a snail as I waited. I blocked myself off from everything, hoping that she would pull through. She wasn’t just an ordinary wolf. She could do this. The only thing stopping me from rushing into the room and roaring at the doc and his team was that I could feel the bond. It was faint, but it was still there. I could hear the steady beeping of the machines as the doc prized a silver pair of clippers into her shoulder. She looked as if she was asleep still. The longer this took, the more anxious it was making me feel. I can’t lose her.I stood, my heart thumping as the machines started blaring. Chaos ensured as nurses fluttered around the room, grabbing tools and meds. One picked up the biggest syringe I had ever seen inputting a visceral liquid before pushing it into her forearm. It burnt. I could feel it entering her body, heightening the pain through the bond. I tried to lend her
Elio Three weeks later I sat in my office rereading the list of names I had wilted down to potential Jamal loyalists. There were about ten names. Each one having a tie to either the Eclipse Pack or to Jamal. I was hoping I would get the last piece of the puzzle in a few moments. She was late, of course. Always is, annoyingly. I look up at my father’s portrait. I doubt he ever had to deal with this bullshit when he was alpha. Realising I needed a shave, I scratched my chin as the long hair was making my skin itch. I gaze back at the list once more, scanning each of the names again. Some of these men have never caused me to question their loyalty. They have served me for years joining my pack either because their mates are here. Some I have even grown up with. I hear a rapped knock on the door before the clacking of heels echoes on the hardwood floor. “You wanted to see me, alpha?” She waltz’s over to my desk as I hastily move the paper with the names to my desk draw. Her long red n
Kara I blink my eyes back, feeling a searing pain near my chest. Agony courses through me, intensifying with each beat of my heart. Goddess, that hurt. My eyes peer open, struggling against a blinding light that engulfs my surroundings. The air is mysteriously silent, devoid of any sound or movement. As I scan the vast expanse of white, all I can see is my body engulfed in white flames licking at my skin. Am I dead? The last thing I remember is the split-second decision to protect Elio from the bullet’s path. I never expected this outcome. I thought, as a goddess, I would have been immune, like Cahya. Maybe the bullets affected me differently. As I try to move, a wave of dizziness washes over me, causing my legs to wobble and my body to sway. The pain in my chest intensifies, radiating through every nerve and muscle in my body. It feels as if a thousand fiery needles are piercing my skin, searing the flesh beneath. Gasping for air, my chest heaving, I clench my fists. So many quest
Kara Time moved differently here. I had no clue if I had been here for hours or days. Despite my desire to return to Elio and my family, I found myself plagued by numerous questions about my father and mother. I didn’t know if I would get this chance again, but I knew it wouldn’t last forever. I had learned about my father, Helios was the god of the sun extremely powerful and after they had an argument, he stole me from her placing several seals on me to suppress my powers, the fact I was a goddess and to stop her from finding me. I learnt he had cast a spell to send me from this world to be planted in the womb of my mother, making Aurora and me twins. He had already arranged with Richard Anderson about him becoming the ultimate alpha. Lies, of course. Whilst Helios sounded utterly vengeful and deadly, I didn’t miss how Selene, my mother the moon goddess, still spoke of him fondly. I had the sense that if the two could be a couple again, she would take it. To them they live for ete
KaraI gulp, feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand up on end. This is my father? My stomach is dropping by the second as my heart beats so fast I’m worried it will escape my chest. He doesn’t wait for me to come to him. I hear every footstep like a mini earthquake as he strides towards me. Our guests we have been dancing with scatter leaving me on my own as he comes closer. Selene repeatedly tries to pull him towards her, steering him away from me.“Helios, she’s my daughter. You won’t take her from me again!” she screeches as she pulls on him with all her strength. As he edges closer, I can feel the heat radiating from him. It reminds me of the sun in the crimson moon pack, warming my skin until it feels like it’s burning. Even my eyes feel itchy from the intense heat. When he stops in front of me, I brace myself for whatever may come next. “Become who you were born to be, my daughter,” he thunders as his large finger pokes my sternum. I feel his blazing heat enter my body,

Kara 5 years later Chaos reigned in every direction. As an omega, I like things clean and tidy but with kids … impossible, especially when you find yourself surrounded by their cousins and friends. Six, there were six of them. Elio thank the goddess was with me. I had agreed to look after Luca whilst Aurora was having a few issues with the twins. The triplets were there, along with our two Xander and Aria, and Addison, who had suddenly joined our pack. Addison was the same age as Aria, and they generally got along. “MUM!!!! Aria is doing it again!” Xander bellowed from across the hall. He’s such a sweet boy, but his sister sure gets under his skin. “Aria, what are you doing to your poor brother now?” I ask as I see her trying to stuff jelly into his ears and nose. Addison, I can see hiding behind the Xander as she tries to hand him a tissue to help get the jelly out. “Where did this jelly come from?” I ask as she shrugs, batting her lashes, looking at the picture of innocence. I hea
Kara 5 months later I rubbed my rather enormous belly once more, feeling my little pup kick. It turns out Elio had been right, and I was pregnant after my heat. I was relieved because I’m not sure how much I enjoyed feeling my insides burn unless he was pounding me raw. Although I will have to think of something because I’m not pumping out kids like my sister has done to avoid her heat. Although considering she has an extra 7 days on me, I can see why she does. I was sitting in Aaliyah and Cahya’s quarters whilst we put together the final touches of our plan regarding the omega floor and hierarchy of our pack. We wanted status to be determined by rank that was earned, not because of their blood. Both Elio and Cahya had come clean to the pack they were hybrids … it took them a few more months to tell the pack what kind of hybrid but as Baylee and Marquis had insisted they can’t protect their alpha if they don’t know what the pack could be up against. They had also told Elio they had
Elio “Marquis don’t let anyone come to my floor and ignore all and any of your lunas requests,” I link him as I see him taking his place at the bottom of the steps nodding at me as I walk by, “Yes alpha,” I can still make out Kara’s screams from the floor above. I headed to the cells expeditiously enough, checking on Naomi first as I inspected her back. “Use the silver whip tomorrow and a dash of wolfsbane never hurt either,” I reminded the guard as he smiled knowingly before I turned, heading for Katie’s cell. “Of course, alpha,” he tells me as I reach the next cell. Katie, in comparison, looked much better now, wearing some of Kara’s clothes after her shower as she licked her fingers, the chocolate frosting covering all of her digits as she stuffed her face. She looked up, seeing me there before she excavated more cake into her mouth. Half of it smeared around her face. I’m surprised she wasn’t sick. She swallowed down her mouthful before she gave me a look. “You don’t waste any t
Elio I waited upstairs for Kara to return and when she did; I noticed her sleeves were waiting, and she had a deep frown on her face. “What happened?” she told me everything as I listened and waited for her to finish my jaw clenching around some of the details but still she continued. I was sitting by the fire as I watched the flames flicker, their heat warming my skin. I pulled Kara in to my lap as she finished speaking. “Have you headed the name Tobin Adnet before?” she asked, biting her lip with eyes wide. It was concerning, they had enlisted a witch to help them. I wish I thought of it sooner. I shook my head as I settled my hands on her waist when an image of a man appeared in the flames. He looked strangely familiar, which posed several problems. “I know what she did was wrong, but I need you to show mercy to them. The pack was just following orders and Katie has suffered enough. I know she has. Please,” it was her plea that mollified me or I may not have agreed. “Fine, I’ll h
Kara I headed down to the cells. The temperature dropped noticeably down here. A metallic scent permeated the air while patches of dark red dried blood on the walls and floor sent a shiver down my spine. I had no expectations for how Katie might react seeing me, in truth I hadn’t known her all that long and she had always been so warm and kind to me that I looked past any red flags she may have had or didn’t want to pry into her or Dawsons bond. Perhaps if I had, things would be different. She wouldn’t be rotting in a cell and her mate and other pack members killed. Having said that, it could be the case seeing her pack is responsible for all the silver bullets killing wolves. When I reach her cell, the guards standing close by I gasp, seeing the state she is in. When I reach her cell, I gasp at the state she is in - her hair, usually bouncing and shiny, is now matted at the ends and greasy on top. Dirt stains covered her clothes everywhere, leaving them tattered. She was also extre
Kara I still had the smug grin on my face as I walked into Aaliyah’s hospital room, where she was holding two beautiful babies and Cahya was holding one. She had triplets, two girls and a boy, the cutest little munchkins since Luca. Their mocha coloured skin and bright blue eyes with a few tufts of red hair made them all so gorgeous. Aaliyah looked exhausted as she cuddled them. Cahya beamed with pride as he boasted to Marquis and Baylee about how they were the most handsome and beautiful kids and if they ever had kids, they would not be as beautiful as his. Candice sat with Aaliyah, wiping her brow that still had a light sheen of sweat, while the doctor rushed out and gave Cahya a weary look. I wonder precisely what had occurred before we arrived. No wonder he was in such a hurry to get back. “Where’s Elio?” Aaliyah asked, a sleepy expression on her face, but despite how challenging her delivery had been, she seemed to glow. “He’ll be in shortly,” I told her as I came to sit by the
Elio Kara’s cheeks burnt red and I resisted teasing her further, although she was trying with all her might to pry me off of her. The door clicked open, and she screamed as my lips popped from her hard bud. Our doctor had barely taken a step before I mind linked him to stop him entering further. “Can you meet us in the room next to mine?” I demanded, as Kara shuddered above me. The door swiftly closed as she glared at me, despite her body reacting to every flick of my tongue. Seeing as we didn’t have much time, I dropped her back into the bath, the water splashing over the sides as I quickly helped clean her. Her fingernails dug into my wrist as she gripped the rim of the tub with the other. “Elio, what are you doing!” she pants and honestly, I’m not sure if I’m trying to help clean her or get her off once more. “Be quick, little wolf. You don’t have long,” she snarls at me in response as the water splashes between her legs before her legs shake as she bites her lip, trembling before
KaraThe sun shone through the window, heating my skin as I winced. Every cell in my body hurt, I peered my eyes open seeing the carnage around me tables and chair knocked over clothes and bedding ripped. My core was on fire and not in a good way. It felt like an endless train had passed right through me. “Ouch” I tried sitting up, but that just made everything worse. I felt the bed dip beside me. I knew who it was his scent told me everything I needed to know. When I gazed into his eyes, though, the look he gave me wasn’t what I expected. It was stern … detached even. “Elio?” my voice was hoarse as I swallowed, feeling a burn. Oh god, how long did my heat last?“How are you feeling?” his voice was icy as I frowned, wondering what he could be unhappy about now. I was the one with the insides melting, turning to fire unless he touched me. Even when he did, there was the pain of having him inside for so long, but it was nothing compared to the pain of trying to move away from him. My bo
