For those of you who haven’t read book one, here is a little breakdown of the family dynamics from Kara’s pov. Sarah Anderson now Reynolds Mother Aurora Anderson now Reynolds sister Matthew Reynolds Step father Gabriel Reynolds Step brother and Aurora’s Mate Ethan Reynolds Step brother and Aurora’s Mate Sabastian Reynolds Step brother and Aurora’s Mate Caleb Reynolds Step brother and Aurora’s Mate Luca Reynolds Nephew
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 Aurora comes down the stairs looking rather sleepy and if the marks all over her neck are any indication, I know why. I hide my snicker, not that she would notice with the way her eyes light up seeing Sabastian, Luca is in her arms blabbing away about some exciting story that no one is paying attention too apart from me. “Hi,” she breathes out as she reaches the bottom step, her eyes gazing at Sabastian like he hung the moon. When he lifts up the bag from the bakery, she steps closer to him and the two kiss passionately. I smirk some more as I watch them. My smile slips and I feel a pang in my chest, a green haze coming over me. She has everything and I have nothing. I look away. That was my choice. After what feels like time is standing still, they break apart. I guess Sabastian is right; she loves it. It always amuses me seeing my brothers, these tough, strong, powerful alphas, turn to putty in my sister’s presence. She turns to me with a big smile before she looks down at Luc
Elio I had been mulling over the bomb Cahya had dropped. Gabriel had arranged a room for his sister … did that mean she had pre-arranged this before the full moon? Did she not care we were mates? So, she didn’t run because she found me with Naomi. Why did she run then? The question plagued my every thought day and night. Now I didn’t know what I should do? Do I go after her? At first, I was worried about what to say to her after what happened. How could I begin to explain why I didn’t go after her that night? I’m left wondering if she has been planning this from the beginning. I run a hand over my short black hair. I just thought we were getting along. Not in the conventional sense, but in our own way. I guess it was just me that felt this way, this pull, to be near her. My bedroom door slams open and I see Cahya storms in, slamming the door behind him as his nostrils flare. I pinch the bridge of my nose and groan. “How many times have I told you I don’t want to look at your ugly
Elio The wind whips around us, carrying with it a hint of impending rain. The sound of rustling leaves fills the air with the scent of damp earth, and freshly fallen leaves linger as the tall sycamore trees sway as Gabriel’s icy gaze locks onto me. “What are you doing here?” he growls at me. I don’t miss the threatening tone in his voice and I wonder what his sister has told him. “I’ve come to collect my mate,” I state, plainly tilting my chin up. His brows furrow for a second, his anger dissipates for a moment before he masks it, giving me his hard stare once again. “She rejected you Elio, you accepted go home,” he tells me as I blink at him, a growl coming from my chest as he turns to his car. “Is that what she fucking told you? Hate to break it to you brother … but she never rejected me. She’s mine and I’d never accept her rejection,” I hiss, pressing up against the metal gate that separates the two of us. A myriad of expressions cross his face, concern and worry for his sister.
Elio “Hello brother,” Cahya’s deep, gruff voice comes through the console of the car as the engine revs. When behind the wheel of this vehicle, it's as if you're soaring through the air. There’s not a bump in the road that would derail this car. “Has something happened?” I ask a knot forming in my stomach. He knows where I have gone. I doubt he would have called if it wasn’t urgent. I see the high mossy green mountains disappear behind me as I put more road between her pack and the Bentley Flying Spur. Cahya pierces through my thoughts as his voice echoes round the car of the sleek interior. The air freshener swings the rose, scent feeling the car before I rip it off and toss it out the window. “No, nothing is wrong brother,” I notice a lit to his voice that isn’t normally present. He sounds … happy. Not cocky or braggy, happy. I don’t think I have heard him happy since before he found out I was going to be the alpha of the pack. I go to say something when I hear a woman’s voice in

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
