Damien’s POVHe was small, it was to be expected considering he was only two, but still it did come as a complete surprise. A small black wolf stood in Logan’s place, on all fours, his tail swaying as he looked up at me with his big purple eyes.I hurry to close the door, I didn’t need him running off, and I definitely didn’t need anyone walking in. He carefully takes a few steps, swaying as he figured out how to move around on all four feet and let’s out a tiny howl. It was actually quite funny, like watching him learn to walk all over again. I just wished that Irina was here to see this, but I was grateful he looked like me, at least it was easier for me to explain.Logan bounds towards me, jumping up at me. Scooping down to pick him up, he nuzzles his cold nose into my neck, gently licking me with his rough tongue as he tries to clamber up me with his paws. He was taking it so well, normally a first shift was extremely painful and as he was only two, I was expecting there to be a l
Irina’s POVI had listened to her words carefully, she had told me that witches were not to be messed with, not to be tricked, because they always see through it and would punish us in unspeakable ways.“Why would you agree to give her your soul?” I wanted to know what could be so bad that they needed to make a deal with a witch.Kendra shrugs her shoulders at me, but it wasn’t a shrug of ‘I don’t know’ more of a case that she had no choice.“Everyone here knows about werewolves, vampires and everything else in between. Its why we live here, the vampires hate the sun, the wolves hate the heat, but still linger and we all have one thing in common. We have all been affected by one of them. But I must admit, I haven’t met any wolf that was running from the others. The witch here promised to protect us in return for our souls when we passed”She looks at me carefully, taking a swig of water.“You really pissed those wolves off!”I shrug my shoulders, trying to wriggle my stiff feet. My mu
Damien’s POVI couldn’t keep it a secret very long. Logan was shifting all over the place, giggling as he swapped between his human form and wolf form multiple times a day. I couldn’t tell him off, he had found that he could do something incredible, what a lot of wolves wait years for. It wasn’t just him though!Days after his shift, rumours came forward about other children in the pack all being able to shift, they were all younger than Logan, but they all had the ability to shift at will, slowly sending many of their families and other pack members into a frenzy, because no one knew how to cope with a child who could shift.Standing on the steps of the packhouse, I watch Logan run around with a couple other children his own age, they laughed and giggled as they each turned into their wolf and started jumping on each other.“What are we going to do?” Austin appears at my side, sighing as he watched the pups roll around on the grass.“They are children.” I shrug my shoulders, it wasn’
Damien’s POVThe connection between Logan and Irina appeared to have taken it out of him, just like his first shift, he slept for hours afterwards. It gave me a chance to pack a bag and arrange a flight across to Arizona without to many interruptions.It was going to be the longest time that I had ever been away from Logan, but I wasn’t stupid enough to take him with me. Yes he may have been my only connection to Irina, but taking him beyond the pack grounds, it was just too risky and at least we could link each other.Austin was staying behind aswell, keeping an eye on the pack. This trip would be a solo trip, but I wouldn’t be coming home until Irina was safely with me. Austin had strict instructions when it came to Logan, as did his nanny’s and yet I still felt like my heart was breaking as I said goodbye to his sleeping body, watching for a moment as he sucked his thumb.The biggest problem though, Arizona wasn’t exactly small, and I could be there for weeks before I found anythin
Irina’s POVThe voice goes quiet, it was like I couldn’t even communicate on my own terms, I had to wait until they came to me, but it still knocks the air out of my lungs.Kendra helps me home, asking me a million questions, questions that I just didn’t have the answers too.“Come on Irina, for a wolf, you seem to be pretty weak” she didn’t mean it as an insult, she was concerned, I could see it in the way she looked at me.Back inside Kendras small house, she fetches some iced water from the fridge. “You’re still not telling me something. Why are you like this? I haven’t ever seen a wolf so, so, so frail.”“It’s probably the mate bond, it would have been different for you, you are human, but for me, I have been kept away from my mate for more than two years. My wolf isn’t even present.”“That’s just too weird. Can your wolf just get up and leave you one day?”I shrug my shoulders because I was starting to think that anything could be possible.“Or maybe she shut down after your chil
Damien’s POV“Where is he, I assume you wouldn’t have travelled alone! She glares at me, waiting for me to say or do something.“Like I would tell you.” Those strict instructions that I had given Austin and Logans Nannies, they involved not taking him out the house, I knew Logan would have hated it, but without me there, I just had to know he was going to be kept safe.“Let me see, you are either hiding him here somewhere, an omega keeping him close by or he is under lockdown in his own home.”“Don’t even think of trying anything Phoenix”She growls at me as I drop the Alpha title. “We will come for him Alpha Damien or the Blood Pack will. Either way he has to die, and I am certain that we will not be the only ones that want him dead.”“I am warning you Phoenix, if you try to lay a single hand on my son, it will be the last thing you will do!”She starts laughing at me “Like you will even have a choice Alpha, that son of yours shouldn’t even be alive.”I didn’t care if the humans saw
Irina’s POVI look between Kendra and the dead witch, in the moment, I had absolutely no idea what to do, it was times like these that I missed Raine, she would know exactly what we should do. Kendra continued to sob, and I knew it wouldn’t be long until the witch was found, until my identity was discovered and then we would all be screwed. I was wolfless, I couldn't go up against the humans.“Irina please say something! What do we do?” She lets the gun fall to the floor with a loud clatter as she moves towards the witch.“Don’t touch her” I mutter, trying to think of what Raine would tell me. "We can’t leave our prints behind, we have to make sure everything remains the same, like we were never here!"“Then what do we do?”“We do nothing, we go back to yours and pretend we have been there all day.”She nods her head at me, “Can’t you make it look like a wolf got her?”“Kendra, I can’t shift remember! Now grab your gun and come on.” I pull on her arm, carefully looking through the bea
Damien’s POVI didn’t want the human anywhere near my pack and I really hoped Irina would make the right decision. But as I tell Irina it is her choice; I see the struggle within her. Humans didn’t belong with wolves, there was a reason they were not supposed to know about us, and there was a reason we continued to remain separated from them. The people of this town though, they were very aware of our kind and that was bad enough.There were enough wars going on between packs without needing to create wars with humans too, and even though we were stronger, faster, they had something that we didn’t, they had silver bullets, an instant killer and we couldn’t protect ourselves from that.Lonecrown would rip her apart as soon as they scented her and even I couldn’t protect her from that.The humans’ eyes plead with Irina, and I could already sense what Irina was going to say.“I cannot guarantee her protection Irina”“But you are the Alpha”“Humans are different, they do not fall within m
