2024-10-29 19:42:56So Helen came back, with her tail firmly tucked between her legs, and she took me as her mate to ensure that she was still in a position of power. From what she told me, Fang had promised that if her baby was a boy, they would overthrow Grey, challenging him to position of Alpha and raise their baby as the future heir. It would be easy, they would have the support of the pack, Fang told her. They were already questioning just how long Grey could continue to rule without someone to ensure his place, and the security of the pack’s future and they would welcome his brother with open arms, it kept it within the same family.
How true that it, I couldn’t say. All I know from that moment on, is that Helen refused to speak of Fang. If her story is to be believed, both Fang and Grey threatened her. They warned her that if she didn’t leave immediately, they would rip the baby from her stomach and feed it to the dogs, and then she would be pinned down in the forest, he

I ran, running faster than I could ever remember running before.I had one opportunity to make this right, there was no more room for error. Even I knew that Grace was fast reaching the end of her tether, she would not accept any more fuck-ups from me.I was fast approaching the edge of the pack borders, almost feeling the weight lifting off my shoulders as I escaped this place. I had thought the heavy feeling I got every time I came home was because of my responsibilities, the never-ending jobs and commitments. But it wasn’t.It was the burden of my family, the shame of the past. I had known there were secrets in this pack, but I hadn’t realised just how evil the motivations were from those I had looked up to, those I had tried to mould myself after.Just as my front paws went to cross over the threshold, just as the precious freedom was almost mine, I was attacked from behind, my body hurtling across the ground as the wolf threw themselves o

Dad? What the fuck are you doing?” I muttered the minute I shifted back into my human form.He followed suit, glaring at me as pushed himself to his feet. “Stopping you from making the biggest mistake of your life. That girl is trouble. Don’t let her drag you down too.”“You’re really going to say that to me, after all that you’ve done to her?”“Me? I haven’t done a fucking thing to her.”“Give it a rest. I’ve read the letter that Thomas left.”“What letter?”“You can play innocent with me, that’s absolutely fine. But I know what letter, and you damn sure know what letter.”“It can’t be the letter I think it is, because I possess the only copy, and I saw to it that no other person would read it.”“You would do well to remember that you’re not the only cunning and manipulative person in

I decided to stay.I loved Duke, but I couldn't imagine a life with him. There was too much under the bridge, too much heartache for him to ever be able to fix me completely.And it wasn't his job to fix me.I had to work on myself before I could be part of a couple - I'm not quite sure that's exactly what Alpha Theo meant when we spoke, but it was the lesson that spoke to me.The time Duke and I had spent apart so far hadn't been enough. I needed more.I retreated to my room and went back to my old friend - exercise. It wasn't what I had planned, but it brought me comfort. It helped me to hide from myself.So that's where I was when there was a knock at the door, and Alpha Theo poked his head round."You have a visitor, Grace.

Well?” I demanded, growing impatient with her lack of response. I loved her, I would always love her, but she was as stubborn as they came. Worse than that, she was projecting her anger on to me, even though I didn’t deserve it. I understood why... there was no one left for her to be angry at. She had all this pent up rage and hatred, things she had suppressed for years, and now when she was finally ready to begin the healing process, there was no one left for her to confront. Her demons needed to be sated, and I was the only connection to the past she had left. Which is why I was showing her more patience than I perhaps should do. But I wouldn’t accept her pushing me away. “Grace... I know you have demons, and I know that the past still eats away at you. But your baggage is my baggage. Why can’t we deal with these things together? I feel like you’ve tried to compartmentalize everything in your head, and you’ve come to the decision tha

Together, we were reshaping their future, rerouting their path so they were no longer outcasts, delinquents, destined to repeat the mistakes of so many before them.With our help, they now had prospects, ambitions, a dream to reach for in this scary, confusing world.Thousands of wolves had passed through our packs.

Paul, I’ve told you a million times, I’m not ready yet!” I exhaled with visible impatience“I don’t understand the wait!” He snapped back, his nostrils flaring in anger. “We both know that this is what we want - you haven’t changed your mind... have you?” he asked after a moment’s hesitation.I flinched as the face that haunted my dreams flashed behind my eyes for a moment, shocking me to the very core of my being that he still had this effect on me. It was one thing to come to me at night when I had no thought or control over the visions that took place, but during the day? I couldn’t let him keep this level of control over me! His voice boomed around my head, as I knew it would. The voice always followed his beautiful image. He had been beckoning me for days.“Of course I’ve not changed my mind, I just need some more time. I haven’t even told my dad about us...”Pa

"Just look at it, Thomas! 15 years old and she's yet to shift!""It's not the shifting we need to be concerned about, Helen, the poor girl is the weight of a full-grown male wolf. Its an embarrassment. Not a single wolf has even looked in her direction! We'll never be able to mate her off and get her out of our hair at this rate!""Even the Alpha has started laughing at our bad fortune. I swear on the hand of the great Goddess, we would have fared better had we remained childless. She'll never pass as a beta, she can barely pass through a doorway!""Helen" Thomas said with a laugh and a playful shake of his head"Oh come now, Tom, you know it to be true! Poor Duke is mortified after you revealed her little secret! At least his future mate doesn't have to worry about any competition! Who could possibly be threatened by a plain Jane like our daughter? Just get her out of my site! She's an abomination!"I shook my head to clear the ghosts of my past.

My wolf whined in my head, desperate to relay something to me, but unable to articulate what it actually was.My brain hurt, trying to keep my haughty glare on Duke and focus on why my poor wolf was crying so hard. I could picture her in my mind clearly, scratching and pawing at her face in a desperate attempt to remove whatever it was that was causing her such anguish. It was all I could do not to wince as her pain became my pain.I hated that we were not as connected as we should have been, that I had suppressed her for so many years. I wanted desperately to comfort her but I knew that she would understand that I had to deal with Duke first. It had been too long. I was unprepared for the force of him, the way his scent slammed into me, caressing all my senses. Damn him!"Close your mouth, Alpha" I muttered sarcastically, my voice dripping with disdain. "You're acting as though you weren't expecting me, despite having spent the past week begging and pleading wi

Yes. Helen and I were not choice mates. She found her mate in Fang, and as I’m sure you can imagine, neither were interested in denying the bond that they had found. All Fang asked was that Helen hold off finalising the mating until she had met his brother – Alpha Grey.Helen didn’t tell me much about their time before she went to meet Grey, but I do know that they spent all their time together and as a consequence, by the time she went to Fang’s pack, she was already pregnant with Grace.I can imagine your reaction to this, Duke, finding out in such a non-chalant way that Grace is not my child. Don’t show my any sympathy, I was aware from the very beginning that Grace did not belong to me – Helen never tried to hide it. She accepted me as her choice mate for many reasons, but I do like to think that some motherly instinct kicked in and told her that her child would be better raised with a father – especially in our world.

Alpha DukeFirst of all, let me start off by saying that I am forever grateful for the way you have handled my last few weeks in this pack. I’m not stupid, I know the end is near, but it doesn’t make it any easier to accept – especially as I know the clock is against me and I don’t want to take these secrets to my grave. Call me selfish, but I would rather face the Moon Goddess with a clear conscience before she makes her judgement. But more on that in a moment.I’ve instructed the pack doctor to write this letter for me, word for word as I speak it. You can confirm this with them, but make sure you read the entire thing. They won’t allow you to confront them, they will always be bound by doctor/patient confidentiality, even against an Alpha’s orders. I couldn’t take the risk that you would somehow find this letter early and demand answers. I may have been your father’s most powerful Beta, but I was always a coward

Fantastic news about Khaos and Violet, isn’t it?”“Huh?” I asked, my head shooting up to look at Duke. I had been sat on the edge of the bed all afternoon, waiting for him to come looking for me. We needed to talk.“Khaos and Violet? Having a baby? Isn’t it amazing? He’ll be a fantastic dad.”“Right. Duke—” I tried, my eyes following him around the room as he absentmindedly undressed, walking from one end to the other.“I can tell you don’t believe me, but trust me. Behind that hard exterior is a heart of gold. He’ll do anything for his children.”“I’m sure he will. Listen –”“It got me thinking… Kids, matings… It all seems so final, doesn’t it? It should be end game. It should be happily ever after. I know them two have a lot to work out, but I really believe they can make it.”“End g
