From Daunte's POVI couldn't believe it. For so long, I had searched for her. I had started to lose hope, and now she was in front of me. I yearned to have her in my arms day and night, kissing, hugging, and making sweet, passionate love to her. She was so close, yet so far away.The moment she attempted to reject the bond, my heart started breaking. I could hear Romo howling at the mere mention of the words. All I could think about was how to try and keep her from rejecting us.Under no circumstances would I have ever begged anyone for a chance, yet there I was begging her. It didn't seem fair, but when I looked into her eyes as she told me what she felt the mate bond was, I could see the hurt and pain, which shattered me even more."What could she have gone through that made her think the way she does about the mate bond?" I thought aloud."You would be surprised," Dominic's voice startled me. I turned away from the window and saw him at the door."I didn't know you were still awake
From Daunte's POVI hadn't slept the entire night. I kept going over the file that Dominic had given me. The more I read, the more it angered me. I couldn't believe she had gone through so much in eighteen years and survived. She was stronger than she thought.I had just closed the file when my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Hector."Miss me already," I answered."You fucken wish," he replied."To what do I owe the pleasure of this early call?" I replied with a light chuckle."Open your fuckin door, and you'll find out," he said, hanging up the call. Then suddenly, I heard a loud banging. I smiled as I shook my head and went to the front door. Upon opening, I found Hector and Maliyla getting out of their car along with Penthesilea."What the fuck are you all doing here and so early at that?" I said as I walked toward them."We came to see our favorite Uncle, didn't we, Princess?" Maliyla replied as she hugged me and handed me Penthesila."How are you?" I asked h
From Alessia's POVI had not slept the entire night. I didn't even lay down. I had stayed by the window staring at the moon. The last few nights, I felt it calling to me. If you asked me to explain it, I would have no words. It was like I was being beckoned by the moon as if I could climb out of the window and walk on its surface. I felt a strong connection, like the moon was telling me something important.As dawn approached, I grew weary of the pending conversation. After showering and getting dressed, I headed down to Daunte's office; after being introduced to Alpha Hector, Luna Maliyla, and their daughter, we headed to the kitchen.I could feel the tension between Daunte and me as we ate. I had a strong feeling he wanted to talk about what I had told Dr. Sara, and although I wasn't ready, I knew I could no longer prevent the inevitable.After taking my last bite, I finally asked the question that had been lingering over us. "What did you want to talk about?"Everyone froze. You co
From Alessia's POV I stared at him as he lay on the floor, whimpering as if crying out to me. I slowly made my way toward him and lowered myself to the ground. I stared at him. He was beautiful. His black fur was marvelous, and his gold eyes held a familiarity. "I umm, I guess this is your room," I said, unsure of what to tell him. I had only ever talked to my wolf. I took a deep breath and extended my hand out to his head. The wolf stared at me, curious, as I reached between his ears and gently scratched his head. "Your fur is soft," I told him as I watched him close his eyes and tilt his head to the side. "You like this, don't you?" I giggled. The wolf began to purr as I continued petting him. After a few moments, I stopped. The wolf let out a small cry as he nuzzled my hand as if he were saying to keep scratching him. I giggled a little as I looked at him. "You're not so bad," I told him. Then I took a deep breath and stood up, making my way to sit on the couch in the room.
From Alessia's POV I thought telling Sara about my past was the worst mistake, but I was wrong. My biggest mistake was telling Daunte. I should have kept the secret, but I was so overwhelmed by my feelings that I spilled the beans. Now, Daunte knew everything about my past, and I was scared of what would happen next. It was as if a light switch had been flicked on. In a matter of seconds, Daunte was out the door. I had never seen anyone move so fast. It took me a couple of moments to realize what had happened. When I finally came to my senses, I realized I was too late to stop him. (FlashBack) "DAUNTE!" I yelled after him as I ran out of the room. I heard a commotion outside the front door as I descended the stairs. Just as I was opening the door, I heard Hector's voice. "Daunte, this is not the way; it could backfire," Hector said. "Fuck you! Either you are with me, or you are against me. Decide," Daunte yelled. "I'm always with you, but this is not the way to handle this," He
From Alessia's POVA week had gone by since I found Daunte out in that field. After seeing him like that, something inside me awakened. I started to have more visions, only they were of my parents. For some reason, I kept seeing what they saw in the last few weeks before the accident. The bits and pieces shown to me were as if I were them for that brief moment.I was so confused and scared I had no idea what this meant. As if things couldn't get worse, Briseis was gone. I hadn't spoken to or felt her for a week. I was so lost and alone that I felt like I was drifting further and further away from the world. I had no clue what was going on. I felt like I was going crazy. I knew I had to talk to someone, but who could I trust?As dawn approached, I made my way to the kitchen. Margaret was already in there making breakfast. After Daunte was brought back, Margaret apologized for not believing me. Since then, she and I have spoken daily and started building a relationship to the point that
From Alessia's POV"What"? I exclaimed.I couldn't believe it! I had a brother? I didn't remember having a brother. How could that be? In truth, I did not remember anything about my childhood. All I remembered was the day of the accident, which was a complete blur. I was so confused. Why had I forgotten all about this? And why had I forgotten I had a brother?"Mon amour, are you alright?" Daunte asked with concern written on his face."I-I don't remember him. I don't remember anything," I replied, my voice just above a whisper.Daunte stared at me momentarily before turning his gaze to Logan and Dr. Nahiem."Will you both give us a moment?" he said.Logan and Dr. Nahiem nodded in agreement before stepping out of the room, leaving Daunte and me alone.I was nervous. I knew Daunte was about to ask me questions about my past, questions I had no answers to. What was I going to tell him? How could I get him to understand that I had no memory of anything prior to the accident or even after,
From Alessia's POVA silence fell over us after Daunte said he had killed Alpha Markus. I couldn't believe it. I knew I had heard his voice in my vision, which I was certain of.I had so many questions. Some I thought I already had the answers to, others had risen in light of the events that had started to unfold.After Daunte was given the OK to leave the hospital, Logan drove us back to the packhouse. We exited the car as soon as he parked, and I made a beeline for my bedroom. I needed time to think and process everything that Daunte had told us. But mainly, I needed time to get in contact with Briseis. I wanted to ask her about my vision. Maybe she could help clarify some things.Upon entering the bedroom, I noticed the window was open, which was odd because I had never opened the window before. I cautiously approached the window and looked out. I saw a small note taped to the window. I opened the note, and a chill ran down my spine when I read the contents."You can't hide forever
