Lucy and I exchanged a glance, our hearts heavy with the weight of our father's decision. Raiden clung to me, his little face filled with fear and confusion as he sensed the turmoil in the room.Dad's mouth cracked open and for the first time we heard his voice. It was faint, and throaty and broke i
Emily's povIt felt like hours since we've been running away and I was sure it was. Even little Raiden fell asleep but thankfully Lucy had secured him tight enough so he won't be able to slip. The further we got from the raging fire, the clearer the path became. We were heading somewhere we didn't
Bryson's pov" Dude we need to be on our way. The pack is expecting us before one tomorrow. If we want to get there on time it would be best for us to hit the road now," Shawn pointed out, peeking his head inside the office. I looked up from the papers, checked the time and nod silently. I have be
As I started the engine, I couldn't help but steal a glance at Kira in the backseat. She deserved better than this, than me. She deserved a mate who could love her with the same intensity she felt for them. It was a cruel twist of fate that she had been bonded to an Alpha who couldn't reciprocate t
Bryson's povMy heart felt like it had stopped beating for a moment as I stood frozen. The boy's eyes bore into mine and it never ceased it's soft innocent happy glow. But as his happy chirp fall out of his mouth, the white wolf that carried him snapped it's head toward me. And just like that, I c
Bryson's pov I knew I was wrong when I saw Kira shatter in front of my eyes. The girl had been nothing but kind to me and the pack, and helped me out. She stayed by my side even though I did not deserve her. She could've left and rejected me. But she didn't. And now I have hurt her. My wolf whin
Bryson's pov"Wait a moment," I whispered to my son and put him down on his feet beside his mother. I looked at Emily who looked at me sadly. I swallowed the lump in my throat and stood up. " I will be back," I told the two, ruffling my son's hair. I didn't want to leave their side ever, but Kir
Bryson's pov Shawn hissed, lifting his hand to touch the long gash that bled. The culprit stood above him, naked but not caring as she snarls. His mate. Kira rush over, claws on showcase, canines flashing at Lucy. What surprised me was the way Emily took a very protective stance, and how much
Raiden's povWhat had I ever seen in Dayna? Why did I ever give her the time of day? Why did it take me this long to realize she was a complete monster?My wolf shook through the restraints of my mind, simmering with rage. I could no longer hold back and stand up, startling Amelia when I heard her s
Raiden's povMy wolf felt it. I felt it. Something about this girl and how she made me feel was different. A good different. And as I stare into her piercing eyes, I register that she is no ordinary human, at least not to me. 'Raiden!' Damon's voice pierces through the mind link, pulling me out of
Amelia's povHis hand was warm, the feeling alone sending jolts of electricity through the veins in my arms until my entire body could feel his touch. His thumb starts to trace little circles on my skin, and I am instantly aware of how much bigger his hands are compared to mine.I swallowed once mor
Amelia's povI narrowed my eyes on him while trying to fight off the warm flush creeping up my neck by his words. " You don't get to boss me around," I huffed. Despite my words, I find myself settling on the red and white checkered blanket. I crossed my legs beneath me, thankful when a gust of cool
Amelia's povRaiden's smile grew more as he gently pulled me out of the car, his hand strong and warm, clutching me like he was scared I'd let go. The feeling of him holding my hand, just my hand sent more tingles racing through me. My feet sink into the grass, the blades brushing against my ankles
Amelia's pov The excitement started to build as we moved deeper into the forest. I am not sure if it was the thrill of the unknown or just the thrill of being alone with Raiden himself, but something was making my heart race and my stomach fill with butterflies. I chewed on my lower lip, wondering
Amelia's povRaiden's grin widened and I knew he could see right through my lying excuse. " Right baby, let's go with that lie," smirking while he shifts the car back into gear. My ego would not make me stay quiet or let him be right so with a glare I snapped. " It's not a lie!" His chuckles move
Amelia's povNo, I couldn't fall for him. I wouldn't. My breath catches in my throat and I press my forehead against the glass, hoping that the coolness can somehow stop the heat running through my body. However, it didn't and this time I actually am not surprised. Raiden's mere presence was too o
Amelia's pov My breath catches in my throat, my cheeks reddening more hot. But it's not the heat of embarrassment that I had hoped for. It's the heat of need, desperate tickling need. Which is all the more frustrating. My pulse is racing and no matter how much I try to deny the feeling he invokes
