Kara

Jamal gives me an unsettling smile as he takes my bag from me, and we proceed to walk back inside the castle, descending another three flights of stairs. Unsure of what to do, I watch him closely. Turning back is no longer an option, and honestly, I don’t want to.

It would’ve put my mind at ease if Marquis was the one leading me out of the castle. I don’t know Jamal and the times I have seen him, he is a bit of a loose cannon. My wolf pushes me forward, offering a sense of comfort as we venture deeper into the castle. All I want is to shake off this uneasy feeling, and then I’ll feel better. Perhaps it’s because I am still within the castle’s walls, and the thought of Elio finding us lingers in my mind. That must be it. Once we are out of the pack grounds, I’ll finally feel safe.

As we enter the dark cave garage, I finally gather the courage to speak up. “I can take my bag,” I offer, reaching for it. “I can take my bag,” I insist reaching for it again, but he firmly holds onto

Idk why she ignored all of the red flags and warning bells that were going off with Jamal. Even Marquise told her to not to trust or be alone with him. He clearly hates Elio and will use her

    Elio I storm up the stairs, feeling her scent intensify as the bond leads me towards her. I have no idea what I’m going to say, I just need to see her. The scent of roses and sunshine, mixed with something sinfully seductive, fills me, calming my beasts as I draw closer to her room. I can only imagine how it would feel to touch her, experiencing those sparks Cahya always talks about... I want them. Everything he has ever told me about mates runs through my head. “They are the second half of your soul, Elio. Go find her,” he urged me for years. “Aaliyah is everything to me... she makes me a better man. I want that for you, brother,” he said earnestly. At first, I dismissed it, considering mates to be a weakness. But now, I know it better than ever before; they are a weakness but I need her. I wish I had listened to him. Secretly, I envied what he had with Aaliyah, and it’s true, he is a better man because of her. A frown appears on my face as I comprehend that the blood oath being v

    Kara *** Trigger Warning Physical Assult Warning for this chapter *** As we continue driving down the monotonous road, drowsiness starts to creep in. I can’t help but wonder what time it is. Thankfully, my wolf is wide awake and on high alert, keeping me from nodding off. Suddenly, a sign for Bloodmoon Bay appears, indicating that we only have 15 miles left to go. I tell myself that I can hang on until then, knowing that the end is near and it won’t be much longer. I wonder what business Elio has in Bloodmoon Bay … it’s one of the nicer cities and I know Aurora mentioned she went out with some friends to a club there and she also likes to do date nights with each of her mates. I think Ethan took her to a hotel here. Of course, mum and dad look after Luca something they are more than happy to do. It stops mum’s empty nest syndrome. I wonder if that is why she would tell me all those stories about meeting your mate when we travelled through the packs. Dad didn’t want to go to the hu

    Kara I switch on the phone in my trembling hand, struggling to press the buttons. The screen lights up and I see the car’s driver slowing down as they approach me. Jamal is long gone and I’m left shaken on the curb. Goddess, what should I do? I search for Gabriel's number and press the dial button, my heart racing. His voice comes through the other end of the line and I break down. “Ka, what happened?” His gentle tone is a stark contrast to the sobs and dry heaves. I managed to stay strong until now, but it’s all too much! I can sense his panic, but I can’t find my voice to speak. “Where are you?” he questions, his firm tone snapping me out of my daze as I watch the car come to a stop. “I’m on the border of Bloodmoon Bay,” I sniffled, and there was a silence on the other end of the phone before he spoke again. “I’ve booked you a room at the Selene hotel. It’s all paid for, and you can order whatever food you like. I’ll be there as soon as possible... do you need me to bring anyth

    Elio “Where the fuck is Jamal?” I bark through the link, frustration dripping from my words. We have combed through every nook and cranny of the pack, but she is nowhere to be seen. Even her once-potent scent has dissipated into thin air, leaving me unable to catch even a trace of her presence. I had really hoped to track her, but it’s like she just vanished. “We’re reviewing the CCTV footage now, alpha. We will find her,” Baylee reassures me, his voice laced with determination, as Cahya silently joins us. He gives me a sympathetic, concerned look which just irritates me. I don’t want pity. In an attempt to quell my rising anxiety, I toss back another bourbon, feeling its fiery burn as it snakes down my throat and settles uncomfortably in my churning stomach. Restlessness consumes both my wolf and my demon, their unease mirroring my own. We need to know that she is safe and the fact Jamal is missing … I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I run a hand through my hair, trying to steady

    Elio He gazes at me with indifference, as if my presence holds no significance. He knows she is my mate, that I would feel it. II just can’t understand why he would do it? As I near him, her scent lingers in the air, and I catch sight of one of her curls dangling from his trousers. I want to tear him to shreds, to rip him apart for his betrayal. The only thing that holds me back is that fear mixed in with her scent, not her arousal. My nostrils flare as I stand in front of him. My jaw clenches and clicks. “Is there something you wish to confess?” I demand, my aura erupting with force, causing him to cower. Yet, defiance still flickers in his eyes. I clutch his collar, yanking him closer until our faces are just inches apart. I scrutinise his eyes, searching for any hint of fear, but instead, I find a sense of acceptance - a resignation to his inevitable fate. Which still leaves that nagging question: why would he do this? His nose wrinkles as he gets closer to me, which I don’t under

    Kara All night I dream of him. It’s like he seeped into my consciousness and became a part of me in a split second. The pain of being away from him is far worse than the pain of seeing him with Naomi. I keep trying to process what changed. I knew when I was his slave; he was going to make her his Luna. It annoyed me, but I accepted it. Now though … I don’t know what we were to each other. All I know is I miss his fiery caramel scent; I miss being back in the dry heat and I miss how, despite everything, I felt safe with him. I miss him. I was too rash about leaving, not that I can go back now or want to. I just couldn’t cope after seeing him and Naomi together. No one wants that as their story. But it’s mine. I roll over on the other side of the pillow. Even the fluffy pyjamas can’t take the chill from my bones. How do I get past this? I know who Elio is. I know what he is capable of. Does he think I’m too weak to be his Luna because I am an omega? It wasn’t an issue with the blood

    Kara We’re in Gabriel’s car leaving Bloodmoon bay. The city looks completely different in the cold light of day, but even with the sunbeams, it still doesn’t take away the memory of last night. Perhaps I will come back here another time when things aren’t so raw. It’s one of the cities I wish I had visited. Although now it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I look over at my brother, hoping against hope he will agree to my next request. He looks over at me, his long ginger hair tucked behind his ears. “What?” he asks, knowing he probably isn’t going to like what I am about to say. Apparently, I have a ‘look’ whenever I’m about to ask something he doesn’t want to give me. Not that he ever says no but still. I bite my lip, taking a deep breath before I pluck up the courage to ask. This is probably the only thing he has so far refused me. “I want you to give me the mate bond serum,” I say as confidently as I can. I have thought about it all night. Elio doesn’t want me and I don’t want

    Elio I rushed through the corridor, everything a blur as I made my way to the meeting room everyone was waiting in. the image of what Jamal did to her was on repeat, my anger swirling out of control. I wanted to bring him back just to kill him all over again. Why was he thinking about Naomi? The two never speak. She despises him. I pinch the bridge of my nose as I walk down. It is early. The castle will still be asleep for a while, as it was a full moon last night. It means I can deal with this shit before all the gossip starts. Only the omegas are out and about cleaning and tidying the castle. They all flinch away from me as soon as they see me coming. Shit, was it that apparent that she was my mate? I shove open the door as they all turn to look at me. Cahya looks concerned, Baylee and Marquis look uneasy. Once the door has closed, I gradually walk over to the head of the table. The important thing is that we find her and I know where she is. Bloodmoon Bay is three hours’ drive

    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.

    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
