Chapter 89
I let out the breath I had been holding. For now, I felt like I was safe. There was a distinct feeling that I needed to thank her wolf for giving me a chance. Skylar’s personality was very much independent and willing to push anyone away. Raine must be snipping at her to try and make some kind of effort with me.
Skylar got up and took her plate around but I rose as well. She started to put the leftovers in a container while I rinsed and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Her curiosity seemed to get the better of her and she chortled behind me.
“Do you normally do dishes?”
I nodded. “Depending on the day. We don’t keep staff on except for one of the cleaning services out of town. We hire them to come in and clean a bit. The cooking and everything else is left to the three of us living in the pack house.”
“Is that…usual? ‘Cause it definitely wasn’t in our pack.”
This made me laugh. &ld

‘How the hell did I get here?’I stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling. It was the same color as my ceiling at home but the room was completely different. Honestly, just in terms of color, furniture, and art, everything in this room was better than my room at home. It felt…good. Not that I belonged here but that I didn’t get the weird feeling. That feeling I was somewhere I shouldn’t be when I slept away from the pack house. It was still disconcerting.‘You’re overthinking this.’ Niru was annoyed as my mind continued to run.‘I’m not. If I got used to this…if this felt normal…then I wouldn’t mind spending time away from the pack.’Niru grumbled. ‘It’s good to step away once in a while. Take a vacation. You never relax.’‘Of course not! I’m Alpha! I never…’‘Your

Pacing my office, I ran my hands through my hair for the umpteenth time. Niru was silent but only because I had pushed him back over a hour ago. Was it too soon to text her? What did I text her? Would it just be a normal conversation? Or would she think I was imposing too much? What if she didn’t even answer? Would I need a reason to text her? Could I think of something stupid? Or maybe just say I needed some information to give to Heath?There were so many questions that kept me from reaching out to Skylar. It had been three days and I hadn’t heard a single peep from her. We exchanged numbers so she could text me if she needed to be on territory, but there was nothing from her. Was I supposed to reach out to her first? Was there some kind of etiquette that I didn’t know about?“You’re going to go bald if you keep doing that, sweetheart.”I nearly yelped as my mom stepped into the office. Her eyes widened and she covered her m

Despite my mom being excited about the new incoming items, she still ordered one of her favorites; the Cedar Plank Salmon. Dad went with the twenty ounce ribeye and I decided on the Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin. They both ordered a bottle of wine but I passed on the wine, ordering a beer instead. “So, what is the situation with the Alpha King?” My dad asked. I only shrugged. “He did reach out and told me that he heard his mercenaries were taken out. I told him that after he left, I headed up to see the damage and what I needed to clean up.” I shook my head, taking a sip of beer. “I also expressed my irritation that I didn’t know what was going on before hand. That I’m not a fan having to scramble to clean up his mess when he already was going against what we talked about as an alliance.” “You didn’t!” My dad looked shocked. “Of course I did. The only reason he did it on my territory was because he knew I wouldn’t snitch to the other guys. It doesn’t

The ride, for about an hour, felt awkward as I drove her in the passenger seat. She fiddled with her jacket and jeans. I stopped her apology after the fourth time that she might get grease or blood on my seat. It wasn’t a big deal since this was mostly my daily use car. If it was Hera, it might have been a different story. But knowing Skylar’s love of cars, she probably would have insisted on taking a shower first.“It’s the inhibitor, right? It stops you from being able to heal at a normal rate.”She wasn’t expecting me to say anything because she jumped a bit at my voice. “Y-yeah. It suppresses the healing ability. It also stops me from being able to mind link anyone other than Raine. I was lucky that she broke through the barrier pretty early to speak to me. Emmett wasn’t so lucky. We had to take some time to work with his wolf to get him past the barrier.”I nodded, looking out at the road. “I told

“What do you mean they are in the garage?” Kev’s voice sounded the same as it did back in elementary school.“Yes, Kev. I brought Skylar with me. I need to grab the witches gate key from my office and I am going to head up north with her.”Kev threw his hands up. “Why didn’t you warn me? If you weren’t headed down the same time that I felt it, I would have sent the guys after her!”I chuckled. “The fact that I was coming onto the territory at the same time, Kev, you should have been able to put two and two together. I expect you to use that brain more.”He sighed as he followed me into the office and I opened up the safe behind a stack of books. Pulling out the gate key, I shut the safe and put it back. Ignoring Kev, I walked past him but he still followed me back into the living room.“So, what is she doing here?”“I invited her, Kev. We need to speak with t

*** Skylar’s POV ***I woke up with a start; sitting up ready to attack. My heart was racing but there was no one in the room. It was dark even with the window open. There was a blanket that was coving me and I was laying on a bed. Raine was growling in my head but she seemed as tired as I felt.‘They tried to bind us!’ She spit out, pissed.Pinching the bridge of my nose, I tried to get the hammering of my heart under control. ‘I mean, it wouldn’t work. We aren’t a witch.’‘It hurts like hell though!’ Raine was foaming at the mouth.I sighed and tried to take better stalk of my surroundings. It was a fairly plain bedroom. The furniture was slightly mismatched but all of it was dark wood. There was a door partially open on the right side that was a bathroom, the light on was the only light in the room. On the wall to the left looked like sliding doors for

Raine and I’s surprise mixed together. Kat’s anger was enough to make us take a half step away from her. The air shifted and it suddenly became hard to breathe. Raine was starting to panic and I shook my head.‘Just put your hand on her shoulder. You’re the one who wanted to do this. So fucking forgive them.’‘I didn’t say I was going to forgive…’She didn’t say anything else as she placed a hand on the Luna’s shoulder. The air wavered but went back to normal as Kat’s hand covered ours. Taking a deep breath, she looked up at Raine and gave a small smile.“Sorry.”Raine shook her head. “No need. It’s…nice…that someone cares enough about us.”“You weren’t this mad when the Alpha King attacked her!” The smaller witch, Sophie, grumbled, plopping back down in the chair.“I’ve s

‘I’m sorry. I’m sorry…just…I’ll do what you want. I’ll let them do whatever, just let me take the pain. Let me handle it.’My forehead touched the barrier and I slid down to my knees. I didn’t know what was going on. All I knew is that I needed to get to her. No matter what. Suddenly, the barrier wavered again, another scream rippling through and I threw my fist as hard as I could into it. It shattered, the pieces blowing apart and I raced forward, out from the confinement of the darkness.Sliding forward, I took hold of Raine. Her wolf form was limp as I placed her head in my lap. Stoking her fur, I kissed the top of her head between her ears.‘I’m here. It’s okay. I’m here now.’‘Sky…’ Her voice was scratchy and she sounded exhausted.I smiled and nodded, running my fingers through her fur as my nails scratched her s
