After letting Bastian and my father know that I’d take Alphaship of Greenrock, Sara and I left the mansion this morning.
The past couple of days, Sara has seemed much more at ease about things. It’s strange to me because I thought she’d still be worrying about what happened with Chan and Yanlin.
Sara also called a meeting to explain to our families her decision about Jill and Paul.
Sara doesn’t want them executed but to be locked up for the rest of their lives. Not once will they touch each other, and forever will they yearn to be together.
Sara had worried about what her parents would think. But Faye smiled and told Sara that she was proud of her and that she had nothing to worry about.
With everything squared away, my father expressed that taking over Greenrock wouldn’t happen overnight.
<“I’m so nervous, Leander.”Leander smiles and entwines his fingers with mine.I have to say that he looks incredibly handsome in his grey suit with his dark hair gelled back. I dressed to match in a grey cocktail dress, with silver heels. I fashioned my hair in a French twist and kept my makeup light.“It’ll be all right, sweetheart. You’ll relax as soon as we walk into the ballroom and start speaking.”Leander has no clue that I won’t relax until we’re back in our room.Our room?That sounds so weird when this used to be Bastian’s room. Leander said that we could decorate before we officially moved in, and I agreed because we needed to put our own stamp on the place.It’s
It has been so much fun getting to know everyone.Leander and I have made the round, and Mum and Dad have introduced us to literally everyone. Some of the elder members of the pack wanted to know if Leander had anyone in mind for Beta.We could keep Chris as Beta, but it would all depend on whether or not he can keep up with Leander’s demands.Leander won’t keep Chris just because he was Beta for Bastian. There will be tests of all kinds, both physical and mental, that any candidate will have to take.Leander and I want the best for our pack, and we’ll make sure they get it, no matter what.Leander and I are on the dancefloor in each other arms. We’re smiling at each other as we move slowly, and I can feel how in love we are. It’s all-consuming, and I have never felt this
Two Months Later.“Sara, will you please calm down.”She’s all over the place, looking nervous when she has nothing to be nervous about.“I’m sorry,”I chuckle at my mate as she finally sits down.Sara has just spent the past half an hour explaining to my parents how she wants to take Jenna back to Greenrock with us.I was a little sceptical at first; I mean, Jenna is Luther’s mate. It doesn’t matter that he still hasn’t accepted the girl or even told anyone that she is his mate. Taking her away from him could have terrible consequences.However, Sara made a valid point.
“So, I’m ready to go,” I stand at the kitchen door with a bag in hand.Mum continues scrubbing the countertop without looking at me. Dad folds his paper, placing it on the table he’s sitting at and looks up.This isn’t a typical day, and I’m not going to college, nor am I going on holiday with my friends. I don’t have friends, my parents didn’t like it, and everyone avoided the weird girl at school.No, I’m being thrown out of my home by the people who swore to love me forever.When Jill and Paul Nicolles adopted me at the age of two, they committed to becoming my parents. They promised that they’d never turn their back on me, no matter what.Jill and Paul gave me a pleasant childhood, albeit lonely. They didn’t like me going out or mak
Two nights ago, on a full moon, I hadn’t made it out of the house in time before I started to change. Chai had warned me that we needed to be away from my parents because Chai could end up attacking them if we didn’t get out of there. Though we can transform whenever and where ever we want, we can’t control the urge on a full moon. We would also become dangerous; as a new wolf, we wouldn’t be able to stop ourselves from hurting people.I tried to sneak out, but Paul caught me, and he refused to listen to my pleas. My eyes changed colour before his eyes, and he yelled for Jill. Both of them accused me of taking drugs until they saw my claws growing.I started screaming for them to let me out; the pain of shifting didn’t even register. As anyone would, Paul and Jill froze in place, mouths agape as they watched me change before their eyes.
“So, Mum is going to be helping me with pretty much everything.” Both Mum and my sister, Lilly, laugh as though they were best friends giggling over the hot boy at school. “Obviously, Dad is giving me away,” Lilly smiles at Dad, who winks at his only daughter.Mum sits next to Dad on the couch, holding his hand. Lilly is on Basian, her mate’s lap, as they sit in the armchair, and Luther and I are sitting on the two-seater sofa opposite them. We’re in the drawing-room, talking about Lilly and Bastian’s fast approaching wedding.I’ve never been a big fan of Bastian Ashworth, even less when he realised Lilly was his mate and promptly rejected her. The agony he caused both Lilly and himself, all because he believed she was a rogue, was unconscionable.But Bastain soon realised he’d made a mistake and tried righting
When we finally found Lilly with the help of the Dragon King, she was not the Lilly we knew. She fully believed that Thomas was her mate and the doll she carried around was a living child.Lilly was pulled into her subconscious along with her wolf, trying to make Lilly remember who she was.Lilly somehow pulled Bastian into her subconscious using an ancient spell, and we thought we’d lose both of them.It was Mum who finally took matters into her own hands. She paid Thomas a visit in his cell at Blood Fire Castle, where we’d been staying with the King and Queen of all Dragon shifters.Mum pushed a whole heap of hell inside Thomas’s mind, which broke the illusion spell he had over Lilly.However, Lilly didn’t return to her body, so Lorcan, my brother, took it upon himself to go
Why couldn’t I drown like a normal person?Okay, I realise I’m not a normal person, not human anyway. But I at least thought I’d be able to drown in peace.I’d been under the water less than a minute before I was being pulled out of the lake. I was dropped onto the grass and allowed to catch my breath before I noticed a man. I looked up at him through my lashes and instantly knew he didn’t mean well.He sneered at me, his vile smirk showing his yellowish teeth. He looked unkempt, and his beard was very long. I had no idea how old the man could be, but his bare chest said around mid-twenties, his haggard face said fortyish.I won’t lie; I was terrified, just looking at him.The man in front of me wants me to go with him, but there is no way I’m doing that. From

I breathe in the fresh air and smile.I came outside for a walk after waking up from a nightmare. Everything that happened yesterday kept playing like a record on repeat inside my head.I didn’t wake up screaming or anything, but I was shaking. I couldn’t fall back to sleep, and Leander was snoring softly. So, I left him in bed and came out for a while.I figured I could clear my head, and maybe that would sort me out.The trouble is that I don’t know if I’ll ever forget what Chan did to me. I know that he’s dead, but I would have liked to talk to him and find out the truth for myself.Yanlin is locked up, but I’m still a little worried that she’ll somehow get out. I’m not scared of the woman, but it does bother me that she’s so obsessed with Leand
A gagging and gasping sound has Sara pulling away from me. “Mum!”“Stay back!” Faye yells. She’s in full-on banshee right now, and I know how dangerous getting close to a banshee can be.Everyone is on tenterhooks, watching as Faye fights the effects of the Esian.I hold Sara against me as we watch the Esian cover Faye’s entire body. She throws her head back and screams the scream of a banshee in pain, knocking everyone but Sara to the floor.“Mama?”“Sara,” I groan her name while clasping my ear.Fuck me; these banshees sure can bring a man to his knees.Sara ignores me and walks closer to her mother. She takes Faye’s hands in her own, and I watch Sara take her banshee for
“Hold him!” I scream at Luther.My brother growls in the guy’s face while Bastian rips the mask from his face.“Chan?” Lilly says with narrow eyes. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”Chan doesn’t answer, and I don’t give a shit right now.I crouch down next to Sara and push her hair away from her face. That bastard hit her, and the bruises send me murderous!I want to kill him, but Sara is more important to me right now.The room fills with people, but I have no mind for anything other than Sara.“Baby, can you hear me?”Sara doesn’t move, nor does she make a noise to let me know that she can hear me.
“I can’t believe how cute you were.”I playfully poke my tongue out at Bastian.He and our parents are sitting on the sofa, Mum in between Dad and Bastian as they look through the photo album I brought.“I’m sorry, there aren’t many. Jill and Paul weren’t big on photographs.”Mum shakes her head. “This is perfect. We get to see you grow up through these pictures, and I couldn’t have asked for more.”They’ve seen me as a small child, my first Christmas without them, my first lost tooth, and so much more.My family missed out on all of those precious moments. I can’t get them back, but the photographs seem to be helping ease the pain somewhat.“You look so m
This cannot be happening!Leander was supposed to fall at my feet, not fight me on whether the damn baby is his or not. For Goddess Selene’s sake! I have done everything to make the Dalgaard’s believe me, yet Leander fights me on the truth?Okay, saying I was twenty-four weeks pregnant made them doubt me. But the fact remains that I am twenty-four weeks, and there is nothing I can do to change that!A friend of mine, a witch, said that I need the blood bonding of a Dalgaard to save mine and my baby’s life. There is only one Dalgaard I would bond blood with, and that’s Leander.All my life, I have loved Leander Dalgaard. I had finally made him mine; then he cast me aside as though I were nothing to him!Now, he’s got a mate?I could just scr
