"What do you mean you are leaving?" Reece was confused. "You said you forgave me."She removed her hand from his arm and he could see her mentally pulling away even before she spoke."I do forgive you. I will do anything for you but this I have to do for me." She blinked and a tear dropped on her cheek. "If I stay with you, I will die slowly every time I see you with her. With your child. I will grow to resent you and slowly I'll become someone that I am not. I can't share you, Reece, and I can't ask you to abandon your child. Please don't make this any more difficult than it already is."Breeana moved to leave as though he could let her leave his life so quickly and so easily. He blocked her path. If he could explain to her, show her that they still had a chance then she would stay. She had to. He couldn't live without her."You can't leave. We are fated mates. We are going to be together forever. Ivy will have my child but you are the only one I love. The only relationship between
Reece was losing his mind."Allen, go and talk to Rhea. Maybe she will harbour some affection for you that will make information extraction easier. We need to find out exactly what is going on."Allen paused looking worriedly at him."We'll find her, Reece. She's probably just trying to clear her head."Reece nodded, his throat tight. She didn't need to clear her head, she was gone because he had failed her as a mate.Words couldn't describe how he had felt the moment he had returned to the hospital after an enlightening meeting to meet an empty bed and find out she had checked herself out already.Reece massaged his temples. He would find Breeana. She couldn't have gone far. He couldn't do this without her. Any of it. He had already placed calls to all the neighbouring packs. He would know the moment she landed somewhere.The problems he was facing personally were now being compounded by the fact that his pack might not be safe anymore. They had done their best to put the Silverwolf
Someone was after her and Breeana was running out of strength. She felt the inevitable conclusion of her death coming upon her.The feeling had started immediately when she dismounted from the plane in Spain. It had felt like coming home only coloured by the sudden feeling of disquiet. The hairs at the back of her head had risen and while she had initially dismissed it as her overthinking, it had become clear that it was far from that.Maybe it was her fault for wanting to lodge herself at a human hotel instead of going to Javier's pack or any other pack and running the risk of it getting back to Reece.The ominous feeling had returned when she had gone out for a walk feeling extremely cooped up in her room. She didn't feel particularly bothered, she was a wolf, and she could handle herself. Or so she thought. That had been an hour ago. Breeana crouched in the corner of an alley silently praying. Her prayers went unheard. She heard the footsteps. "Come out now, Breeana Gavin. You sh
Pregnant? She was pregnant? How could she have failed to see it? The puking, the bone weariness, it hadn't just been because of Reece's cheating. "Bree, this is great news!" Ari beamed. "Wait until Reece hears about this, he'll be so happy–""Reece will never hear about this." Breeana looked at her sister and her mate. "Neither of you is allowed to tell him."Ariana and Javier looked at her with varying degrees of surprise. "Javier, please would you excuse me and Bree for a minute?" Ariana asked Javier when Breeana made no signs of explaining her sudden outburst. "Sure," Javier said and patted Bree's hand somewhat comfortingly before walking out of the room. "Alright. It's just the two of us, now. Tell me what is going on, Bree."Breeana's lower lip quivered as she fought back tears. "He… He got Ivy pregnant, Ari.""What?"*******After she explained everything to Ari, she seemed more sympathetic. "Oh Bree, I understand your pain but this is a huge decision. Are you sure you wan
Sarah met Damien when she ran away from that cold shithole they shipped her off to. He wasn't her mate like she had made Breeana believe but then again not everyone was lucky enough to find their mate like Breeana. But he was different. They'd met at a fine dining restaurant. One so expensive and exclusive that you reserved six months in advance and a meal could easily cost an average human's yearly wage. She'd been waiting tables to keep food on the table. It was good pay and free food. Plus a place to sleep. Damien had come in with a stunning werewolf and by scent alone, she had identified them as part of her race. While she served them, Damien had caught her gaze and less than an hour later they were fucking in his car. She wasn't such an easy lay usually but there was something about him. His raw sexual appeal, his gaze that always made her feel special that he had chosen her. And of course, there was his money.Afterwards, he had given her some cash and his driver had driven
Ivy was thoroughly fucked. She touched her neck feeling the phantom touch of Reece. He would have killed her. She had seen her death in his eyes. If it hadn't been for the child that she carried, she would be dead and gone.That little bitch had played her so well. She must have realized that if she had insisted that she couldn't bribe her, Ivy would have had her killed before her testimony. But she had been blindsided. The girl had successfully deceived her. She should have killed Rhea when she had the chance. Now she was well out of reach that Ivy with Reece letting her go. She would be trapped here and the moment her baby popped out, Reece would execute her. He had even taken away her father's power as well. He must have been waiting for the right excuse to do that and she had given it to him.There was a knock on her door and a warrior stepped in. He was the no-nonsense type with his shorn-off hair and numerous scars from the many fights he had been in. She would be unable to br
Damien was going over his plans when his aide arrived. The new council member had just been sworn in and the member was in his pocket. Not that anyone knew. He had decided to begin the attacks against per his plans and the council had reacted beautifully so far. They were split evenly. Some of them wanted the detained suspects released as they'd been proven innocent while the other sect felt that it could be a copycat masterminded by the heir that Reece and Breeana had failed to apprehend so far. Most important of all, none of them spoke about what they would do to address the problem. His time was coming now and while he should have been overjoyed, he was anything but.Sarah's rejection had left him astounded. Maybe he should not have been surprised that the wildcat he took in turned on him yet he was surprised by the drasticness of it. He had taken an interest in her for her backbone after all then he had taken his time in breaking her down until she had become pliable. He had w
"Bree." Reece's voice held as much shock as Breeana's face did as he fell, a bleeding wound in his middle. Ivy was on her knees and had managed to get to the gun Reece had kicked out of her grasp."Reece!" Breeana screamed, dropping to her knees, obstructing Ivy's line of fire with Reece's body unintentionally.Ivy pulled herself up so she could aim properly. She has missed before. She wouldn't miss again. Breeana would not leave this place alive. She ignored the trickle of pain in her midsection from where she had hit when Reece had flung her down hard. She straightened partway wondering where her men who had been guarding this abandoned had gone. Perhaps Reece had dispatched them. She had no idea how he had gotten here so quickly though.Breeana was still trying to shake Reece awake, blood smearing on her hands as she sobbed.Ivy took aim, her arm feeling heavy and strained from the fall. Breeana looked up from Reece to her, finally seeing her death. It was too late. Even though
