Thank you for reading two chapters today. xxx
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 “I will consider it okay,” Gabriel tells me as I nod. It’s not a no, I guess that is progress. We sit in the car in silence, the roar of the engine the only sound as I stare out the window as the trees pass. My mind drifts to Elio once again, the pull to go back to him getting stronger the further we go until I have to clamp my lips shut to stop myself from asking Gabriel to turn around. Instead, I turn the radio on, looking for something to tune it all out. I eventually find a catchy tune and begin to bop my head to the beat when I catch the lyrics. URGH it’s a love song. I change the channel looking for something else, and Ed Sheeran comes up to play. Nope, not listening to that. I scan the radio again and again and again. God, do they only make flipping love songs? Growling, I turn the radio off and we reaming, sitting in silence. Gabriel looks over at me, his lips pressed together, and I know he doesn’t enjoy seeing me like this. “Are you hungry?” he asks, and I nod. Gu
Kara The sharp needle pricked my neck, causing a tiny sting. I could feel the small, precise puncture right over my mate's mark. It was nothing I couldn’t handle. As Gabriel pushed the serum into my body, things took a strange turn. At first, there was no immediate change in how I felt. I could still sense the mate bond connecting me to Elio, even though I was back home. I just felt a cooling sensation trickle through me like a cool breeze on a summer’s day. Gabriel put the needle down and gave me an inquisitive look. “How do you feel?” he asked, leaning back to examine my neck. I felt perfectly normal. Perhaps it was a dud. Disappointed that the serum hadn’t worked, my shoulders slumped. I had got so swept up in this serum being the answer to all my problems, only to find it’s not worked. After all, he hadn’t been able to test it beforehand what could either of us expect. As I ran a hand through my curly hair, tucking it behind my ear, I noticing tingles on my neck. They started of
Kara I blink pulling back from them all, laughing as I pinch myself. This is real. We all walk in and head to the lounge. Aurora passes me Luca and his little chubby cheeks are just perfect. He has already grown so much those piercing silver eyes stare into my soul as he observes me not intimidating at all. “Are you hungry?” mum ask beginning to fuss as she runs her hands over my hair, a small frown on her face. She and my sister have gorgeous long blonde straight hair. It tumbles down their backs like Rapunzel. I have long, crazy, curly hair that I can sense my mother itching to get her hands on. She tried once and all it did was make my hair a bushy, frizzy mess. I shake my head and she nods her head back. “How about a drink then, your home! Your dad and I have been plotting ways to get you out of there,” she tells me, tugging at my heartstrings. “Mum,” I gush, it’s not like I thought they would give up on me. I just didn’t think it would be possible. She gives me that determine
Elio It had been a full 48 hours since Marquis and Cahya had departed. As they continued scouring Bloodmoon Bay, the minutes ticking by, my worry only deepened. My only consolation was that I could feel nothing through the bond. However, that wasn't the most comforting thing. Nothing could compare to the relief of seeing her again, knowing she was back where she belonged, safe and sound. Bloodmoon Bay is one of the largest cities there are a lot of areas the search and neither of them feel the pull to her the way I do. I should have gone with them; I should have just faced her. It’s not like I have figured out a way to explain what happened? I just stood there. I had taken to sleeping in her room, her scent still lingered here and it was the only thing that helped me hold back my wolf and demon. I wanted to go for a run, but with the heat out here, it’s only really possible at night. Between my two forms, I find myself rarely shifting into my wolf. The hunger of my demon is insatia
Kara I had been working on a plan to reach the Eclipse pack. However, I faced a couple of challenges. Firstly, I didn’t know how to drive, so I needed to find a driver. Secondly, convincing someone to be my driver seemed impossible, I couldn't think of a single person to take me without my family knowing, they would only stop me if they found out. Plus, the pack was a 5-hour drive away, and walking there was definitely not an option for me. It had been several days since I arrived and although I knew they were all happy to see me, they were all worried about the fact I had taken this serum. I know I’m not the smartest in my family. It’s not like I had the opportunity to go to school and learn like they did. So there may be a few gaps in my knowledge about bonds, etc. But it doesn’t change the facts. I was marked against my will and I have a mate who didn’t want me. Would the have done anything different? I may have been the only one happy with my decision, but I was all the only one
Kara I rush into the library, pushing open the heavy doors. The scent of old books and quiet whispers welcomes me. I turn seeing Elio standing behind the desk scanning books. When I blink, I see that it is only the old librarian. Perfect, I’m losing my mind. I keep seeing him everywhere. I shake my head, brushing it off as I wander through the aisles, my fingers grazing the spines of countless books. The shelves tower above me, goddess there are so many. How am I even supposed to find what I’m looking for? Mum dedicated a significant amount of time to support my education and knowledge, although I managed to give the impression that I was performing better than I actually was. I wish I had tried a little harder, as this system wasn’t making any sense and giving me a headache. I feel a pair of eyes burning into the back of my head and when I turn; I see Elio’s face once more. My stomach does a little flip before I blink and realises it’s just the librarian coming up behind me. “Do y

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
