My chest constricts as I cry. How could I have been this reckless? How did I fuck up so bad? Leo runs past the room, stopping and coming back to Me. His eyes scanning the room behind me then they land back on me. “Someone took her?” He asks, more tears pool in my eyes. My heart cramps as I gasp, falling forward, tears streaming down my cheeks as I nod my head “Come on, we have work to do” He grabs me by the scruff of the neck and he yanks me out of the room. “I know you want to fall apart, I know you want to curl up and die right now. I know that you feel useless but look at me” He says, making me look at his face “She needs you now more than ever. Up until this point it was easy, this won’t be.” He tells me emotionally “We need to find her, she’s the Luna of the biggest pack in the world. With that comes enemies, I have already fucked up, I have already ruined her life. I won’t do that again. She needs you, that baby needs you and we are ge
“No! She hates her. She hates her so much I can feel it” “But if she wants money they won’t touch her will they? Drake? Jack? Will they?” She asks us. All of us knowing better, we drop our heads not wanting to face mum or the truth. She starts to sob shaking her head “No I can’t, I can’t lose another one Jack I just can’t” My heart constricts as dad rushes to her side, helping her take a seat as Emma and Fiona crowd her. “We won’t lose her love. We won’t I promise” I close my eyes and head for the door. My head felt like it was spinning, the air around me thick and hard to breathe. I needed fresh air. I stumble to the garage, grabbing the smokes I hid in here when I quit a few years back. I had never felt like I needed one until now. Right now I could smoke an entire pack. I light it up and take a pull. My head and my heart were fighting with me, my body wanted to move and find her but my mind knew we couldn’t. Not until we got the call. Be
“Yes, let’s do it. The faster we get out of here the better. Comes on” She nods grabbing her jacket and lifting her keys of the side table. My chest fills with hope, excited that I might actually pull this off. ————— Lilly’s POV I gasp opening my eyes as a cold bucket of water is thrust over me. My skin burning as I scream, the wolfsbane in it burning my eyes and mouth. I feel it bubble and blister immediately, tears stinging my eyes as they touch the blisters. “Wakey wakey bitch!” Roisin shouts! My eyes blinded by the dull light hanging from the middle of the room, the freezing cold breeze sends a chill straight through my body. Roisins face comes into view at she growls, glaring at me! “You were meant to be my friend! MY FRIEND not HERS!” She growls, turning and kicking a sleeping Ella on the ground. My heart stops when I see her face, it was swollen, red, blistered and bleeding. She was hardly recognisable. “You chose her over me! Fu
I tell him as I push myself up and go to her side. He quickly unlocks her, but as the last chain drops I hear a roar, turning just in time for Lena to shift and dive for me. Dad moves fast, pushing me from her path and taking the force of the hit, her teeth grabbing his arm and yanking it, the weight of her body slams him to the floor, his head smashing against the concrete with a crack, his arm pulled from its socket. Layla immediately reacts in anger, shifting as I scream, lenas wolf stood in shock at the fact she just killed my father. Layla shifts, jumping her and grabbing her by the throat, she uses her teeth to grab onto her throat, pulling a chunk from it before she could react. Her blood squirts everywhere as she immediately falls, dying on the spot. Layla turns whimpering as she nudges dad with her nose. His heart was still beating and we were too weak to heal him. “We need to get drake and get him to a hospital before he dies” Layla tells me,
I grin nodding my head “Yes, Sophie healed me” She grins at me, rubbing the sleep from her eyes “They are sleeping, can you watch Them as I go heal my dad” “Of Course I’ll take them into my room” “Thank you Sarah” Drake tells her, passing her in the hall and heading to the elevator “What have I missed?” I ask, resting on his shoulder, feeling a little cold. I wore fluffy pyjamas and drake’s shirt so I snuggle in trying to warm up. “It’s been quite, nothing exciting” “Did you catch Roisin?” I ask, he shakes his head, his jaw ticking “Not yet but my men are on it” I nod “She’s deranged, before I healed Ella she had her beaten until she was unrecognisable” He shakes his head “She will pay for that when I get my hands on her” “Not If I get to her first” I snap, he chuckles, wrapping his arm around me tighter as we take the elevator straight down to the hospital. “I had his things retrieved from his hote
They had small bumps, they were exhausted and always hungry. Drake takes a seat then he pulls me onto his knee, kissing my temple. But as I relax My entire body goes stiff as an explosion sounds from outside, the ground trembles as my ears ring. It felt like the walls were shaking as I Grab my ears, stunned. “Holy shit it’s the orphanage” Drake shouts, placing me on my feet and taking my hand as we turn and run to the door. I was still in shock, my body moving before my mind could even register what was happening. As we reach the front door, the screams of the pack were deafening, a fire blazed at the orphanage as people from all over came running to help. We took off towards it, Drake letting go of my hand and he runs straight into the fire followed by Ben. I stand there in shock, unsure of how to react or what to do. Kids were being pulled from all directions as Layla leaps forward “Bring the kids over here! Line them up and I’ll heal them” I
As I wake, I realise I’m in drakes arms, the ladies were gone. I look up at him. His eyes were open and he just stared at me, like he was frozen. The bond was numb like my body, but I felt a little more alive than I did last night The stink of burned flesh was attached to us both, ash and mud stuck in our hair and smeared over our faces. I could feel the tight residue on my face as I moved, stretching my skin and making it feel tight and uncomfortable. I sit up, pushing hair from his face, it softens at my touch, the palm of my hand lighting up with sparks as he moves his face against it. “We followed her for a few miles, then lost her scent. We tried to find her but she was gone. People reported seeing her right before the explosion. She must have hidden while we were busy saving them all, eventually coming here to find the kids” Layla leaps forward growling “Roisin did this? She wanted our babies? Are you sure?” He nods, it was hard to tell if his emoti
“I know, how could she” I whisper “She really wasn’t so weird that I thought she was capable of this, were there signs that we missed?” I shake my head “No, I don't think so. I didn’t think anyone was capable of this to be honest” She nods her head “Yeah, not even rogues” We go silent for a while, watching the world around us move on “Where to first?” The guard asks, I clear my throat “Start at the Apple store, everything else is around it anyway” I tell the guard, he nods his head pulling in. “We stay with you at all times, we clear the room before you enter, we clear the bathroom before you go in, alphas orders?” The man driving asks, both of us nod our head. “Is this what our life will be now? Scared and looking over our shoulder all the time?” Layla asks me “I don’t know, maybe just until she’s found. After what she’s done I’m not surprised he’s going overboard” She nods in agreement as we hop out of the ca
“You disgust me! You and that monster deserve to burn for what you did to those kids” She drops her head then steps back, her face like stone. The crowd clearly realising who she was to my surprise didn’t hate her, instead my pack opened their arms to her, one woman came right up and she hugs her. “Thank you” She tells her, I smile at my family, they wanted revenge for what Roisin had done but they were not spiteful enough to take it out on her family and that little victory made me proud. Drake walks up to Roisin, nodding at me. I join him as he grabs her head “This is for all those we lost” He snaps her neck, dropping her body on the ground, my eyes meet helens as she stands there. She watches the entire thing. She calmly takes a breath, pulling on her shirt and nodding to me. Then she simply turns and walks away. Drake takes my hand and he leads me home. When we are away from the crowd he wraps his arms around my shoulders
I say sadly, feeling for her parents. It’s not easy to say goodbye to someone, especially your own daughter but we had no other choice, she had to die for her crimes. “It won’t but it’s what’s right, they deserve the chance to say goodbye, even if they don’t like it” I nod in agreement, taking his hand. We grab the babies and quickly head down for breakfast. As we arrive I notice the difference in the atmosphere immediately. Everyone was smiling, laughing and talking, so much easier than they were in the weeks before it. Roisin was finally done weighing on our shoulders, we could kill her and move on once and for all. Life could go back to being just life, just unimaginable peace of mind. We all needed a little of that now. We eat our breakfast with smiles on our faces, everyone had taken the morning off training, the men needed the rest, they deserved to celebrate our small victory today. When we were done we prepared the boardroom for our visitors, all th
I snort “Of Course they did, you're a MONSTER! A disgusting excuse of a person!” I roar, her body starts to tremble, I yank Baylee behind me as she jumps at us, shifting in the air, I rip Baylee away, shifting just in time to take the hit. She crashes into my side, her teeth going to my throat. Layla moves fast, having her fall when she touches us, sending commands through our body so she goes down like a sack of shit. when she’s down she makes her shift as she feels like every bone in her body is being broken. Frozen to the spot. Making her feel the agony she made the kids feel, I gave her all their pain, all the burns and fear. All the trauma that she caused she would now feel. She immediately starts to shift, screaming in agony, the rogues taking their chance as everyone was distracted, attacking from every angle, our men who were pretending to be down jumps up and the battle begins, shocking the rogues but only for a moment I watch as a few of o
When Noah is ready, I pop him in the pram then I lift Sophie and put her next to him. I push them from the room and pout as drake was holding a terrified Baylee in his arms, rocking her around and dancing as he hums ‘my girl’ Pulling my phone out I record the moment, Layla whimpers as we watch silently. One of those moments that should be remembered for forever but most likely it will be forgotten, to make room for less important things. The babies start to chatter so I pocket my phone and smile at drake as he turns, he walks to us “Hey babies” He whispers holding onto Baylee as he talks to them. We head downstairs, baylee didn’t talk or cry, she just sat there in his arms enjoying his presence. As we reach the kitchen drake goes to peel her off his body, she sobs shaking her head “No daddy, don’t go. I’m not ready” He pouts at me, my emotions were all over the place, I had no idea how to handle this. How do you tell a little girl that h
But as I get of his back I smirk opening my eyes as drake runs at me, I dive landing on my hands in front of his body, twisting slightly as my body flies forward, I wrap my legs around his torso as his body collides with mine, I pull myself up and grin at him, wagging my fingers at him as I tell his body to fall. As he falls I land on his waist straddling him. He chuckles shaking his head as I let the command drop “You are amazing” He says kissing my lips softly, I grin against his lips kissing him back harder. “I don’t want to ruin a beautiful moment Luna but do you mind? I need to pee” Ben snaps, drake pulls back laughing as I climb off him and I touch each boy letting them up. “Let’s do it again” I tell them grinning, all of them step back shaking their heads “Nope I think your good” Dad tells me, drake chuckles nodding his head “I agree, you're good. Let’s go get a drink I need one” He tells me, grabbing my ass and yanking me up so I
I face palm, shaking my head. The kid was a genius, and I’m not just saying that because I’m her mum. The child could read full novels in a day, she could do math that I didn’t even think was possible off the top of her head. Sarah wants to test her to see if she even needs to go to school. It’s actually crazy but with that come maturity and maturity means knowing things little girls shouldn’t know so the conversation is always interesting and most definitely entertaining. After the kids had breakfast all of them went to the park with sarah and the new nanny ashley, along with their guard reggie. But as we sit eating our own breakfast with the men Sarah comes running with the babies, reggie comes behind with a past out Baylee in his arms, Dutch was biting his ankles pissed. “Dutch stop” I snap standing up as he thrusts her body into my hand “She just collapsed and started to mumble, I didn’t know what to do” Sarah says panicked. I take a seat and b
Layla tells me excitedly as I open the door, I hadn’t seen it either so walking in for the first time completely blew my mind. It was perfect. I look back at her as she opens her own eyes, gasping. “Wow” She whispers, Layla starts to chirp in happiness as we watch her look around, it took a few seconds but then she giggles jumping on the spot “This is the BEST present iv ever had” She squeals, jumping on the bed, Dutch joining her as she does a little victory dance, her childish cackles fill my heart with joy. The room itself was a baby pink colour, it was so light it was almost white, the bed sat to the side of the room, it was a huge 4 poster king size bed, draped around it and over the top was soft pink tulle, the sheets were a crisp white colour, the added sheets and blankets were different shades of pink, placed neatly on her bed. A large cushion was placed in the middle, on the middle of it had the pack symbol, below it, it read ‘Princess Baylee’ in pink
3 men catch up to them, growling as they try to rip her from her mothers arms. She pulls away, tripping over the roots of the trees. They were bad men, men that hurt her and her mummy way too many times. She knew she couldn’t go with them, not now her mummy was gone. As one catches her by the foot something deep inside Baylee erupts, I can feel it from her very core, her hardwire was different from everyone else and that’s the moment she realised that, even if she didn’t know what it was. The feeling builds, a gush of what felt like wind, but it resembled more like spirit as it’s pulled into her body, into every fibre that was Baylee Then it pops, like a bomb only this bomb came from inside the little girl, her soul, her very core screams louder than Iv ever heard before. The force sending the bad men flying. Their spirit ripped right out of their bodies as they fall to the ground dead. She screams until she knows they are gone, her heart was racing so fast she
“Amazing sarah thank you, see you tomorrow” She nods her head, wagging her fingers at baylee as she heads into the tv room, I skip down the hall to baylees room and I open the door for her “Now this is all yours” She grins looking inside but then her face falls and she steps back “What’s wrong?” I ask, she shakes her head “No I can’t sleep in there, I need to sleep with you so you can keep me safe” Her little heart starts pounding in her chest as she nearly hyperventilates. “But you are safe babe, we have the best guards who will be on watch all night, nobody is getting in here and we will be just in there” Drake tells her, Kneeling to her level. She shakes her head “No, the last time I slept on my own the fire came, I can’t please. No” She shakes her head, tears pooling in her eyes, I grab her, pulling her into my chest and letting her rest on my hip “Shusssssh it’s ok baby, you can sleep with us, it’s ok” I tell her, Layla p
