Chapter 87
Something happened to me when the tribe declared Edric as their king. I remember Clarissa telling me she felt a change within herself when Darius became Alpha, which elevated her to Luna. I’m pretty sure something similar is happening to me. My magic is stronger, and I’m fully awakened now. The Goddess part also started burning brighter and stronger -- I can feel the power scorching through me like lava. It’s terrifying.
I sit on the porch step, watching the tribe shift with their new king, reflecting on the last two months. How quickly things have changed. How quickly I have changed. Even Edric went through a metamorphosis and isn’t the same wolf that chased me through the woods. That night feels like a lifetime ago now.
My eyes fall on two wolves in human form walking in the direction of the warriors’ cabins. It can’t be. They look just like Luca and Jasper. Still sure I’m seeing things, I get up and run through the throng of shifting wolves to catch up with the tw

For once, my prayer didn’t go unanswered and we had more than just one calm night. We had several weeks. For a while, everything went well. I almost convinced myself that our lives were finally starting. That all the pain and fear were behind us. That we finally had that chance we both wanted so much. And we almost did. Almost. Edric’s family left four days after Alexander’s death. In time to join their pack for the full moon. I tried to avoid them the entire time they were here. Despite my initial joy at seeing them, it all very quickly went to hell, and their presence made me very uncomfortable. For Edric’s sake, I endured it, but I almost skipped with joy when they left. I thought Edric enjoyed their company, but after they left, he admitted to me that he found the whole encounter as awkward as I did, and he was relieved that they were gone. “I’ll always love them, but they’re not my pack anymore,” he said. “And your dad? Jolie?”

Edric's POV I never wanted to tell her…I would have been happy to go to my grave with the secret. I thought I would get better, that the memories of the dungeon would fade to a bad dream once Alexander was dead, but now that I have more time to think instead of just reacting all the time, it feels like I’m getting worse. What’s infinitely more troublesome is that I started resenting Maya – started blaming her, our mate bond, for the torture. I can’t rationalise it away, and Goddess knows, I’ve tried. I put it off as long as I could, but there’s no way around it anymore. “The doctor says the external scars could fade over time, but…the internal damage may never heal.” She looks so sad for me. But the expression on her face and the pity in her eyes – that’s what I can’t handle. “Why didn’t you heal?” “My wolf was suppressed, and without him, I just never healed properly…and every day they made it worse, until the damage they cau

Edric's POV:I shift back to human while doing a three-sixty turn. To what end, I don’t know – she’s gone, and no amount of circling is going to change that. I have to get back to the palace, rally the warriors so we can go after her, but I can’t leave. It feels like I’ll abandon her if I do.“Fuuuuuck!” I bellow at the sky. What the hell is wrong with you, Edric Payne? Why do you always have to sabotage every good thing in your life? Do you want to end up like Alexander, you fucking idiot?”“Edric--” Maya steps out of the dark, glowing blue like The Goddess --“it’s okay. He didn’t get me.”I blink, rub my eyes, unable to process what I’m seeing. The glow around her fades out until it’s just my mate standing there. “Oh thank, Goddess.”Right now, more than anything, I want to hold her, but after what I’ve said, what I&r

I left right after Edric fell asleep. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. I dragged my old backpack from the closet, throwing out the ratty old clothes and replacing it with the newer jeans and shorts Edric bought me.I went into the living room and saw him stretched out on the couch, his arm flung over his scarred chest, sweat pouring down his body, fists clenched. He moaned softly and flipped on his stomach. He mumbled in his sleep, as he so often does these days, then let out a strangled cry. My heart broke, and I almost changed my mind.More than anything, I want to wipe those memories from his mind, but it’s not in my power. I can make him stop feeling the emotions attached to the memories, and if he asks I’ll do it, but deep down I know it’s a bad idea. I can do more harm than good.I’d already taken enough from him, so I put the envelope full of cash and the credit card on the kitchen counter. I wasn’t going

We are back at Mountain Fire. If I had a million guesses, I’d never guess that we’d end up back here so soon. We’re even back in Edric’s old room. I thought someone would have moved in here, Adrian perhaps, but they kept it exactly as it was the day we left.Inhaling the cold mountain air, I look out over the grounds below. It’s just as I remember it, except that it’s colder now. “Maya,” Edric says behind me. “I’m back. Come inside before you freeze to death.”I didn’t bring any winter clothes with me…I forgot that it gets cold here, and with winter fast approaching, the nights are getting quite chilly. “Where have you been all day?” I ask as I step back into the room.“Just out, catching up with everyone. Luca and Jasper are avoiding me. Guess they can’t get over the fact that I killed Alexander.”“Hm-hm.”“Jolie’s o

Edric's POV: I stare at Maya where she’s sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket and reading a book. She still refuses to share the bed with me, and won’t let me take the couch. I swear she’s getting more stubborn by the day. When Gabriel phoned me two days ago to let me know Maya was with him, I almost told him to take her and go, but something told me not to do it, that I had to go and get her. He promised he’d slow down so we could catch up. I gathered my warriors and we broke every land speed record trying to get to the airport on time. Gabriel was deeply annoyed by the time we finally got there. “Took you long enough,” he said. “Hey! I did not bring her here. You did.” “She told me that she would talk to you about it.” “And you believed her?” He raised an eyebrow at me and smiled. “Eh well--” he clapped his hands together, suddenly serious again --“Edric, before you get on that plane with her…she cannot

Using a little bit of magic, not so much that Edric will notice, I knock him out cold. I just can’t keep talking about it. He feels different about me. He feels better. But I didn’t have a witch come by to change how I feel about him. All of this would be so much easier if I didn’t love him so damn much.~ Why are you still angry at him? ~ my wolf asks.* I can’t just change how I feel. It will take time. *~ But he couldn’t help himself. ~* Yes, but he still chose to say those things to me, cursed or not. *~ Are you going to leave? Take us away from our mate? ~* And let Millicent win? No, we’re not leaving. *I roll off the bed, find one of Edric’s sweaters, and walk out onto the balcony. Gabriel is here. “Using magic on your mate? That is a slippery slope, Maya.”“If I didn’t, he’d talk about fucking Millicent and the curse all damn night. And I’

“Maya --” Edric flutters kisses over my brow, pulling me from peaceful dream -- “It’s almost time for the shift.” Luca wasn’t happy. He refused to hold his son, and when Edric insisted, Luca tried to attack him. My mate handed the baby to me and physically carried Luca out of the room. “He’ll come around,” Edric said and picking up the baby went to his sleeping sister. “Can you wake Jolie?” She didn’t want anything to do with her child either. “I knew it,” she said. “I knew he’d come out wrong. We tried it only once, thought it would be fun…and The Goddess punished me for breaking our laws.” “She’s not punishing you,” Edric said, annoyed. “She doesn’t punish innocent pups for their parents’ mistakes. Come on. He’s your son. Hold him.” “No.” “Just look at him,” I tried. “He’s so beautiful.” Jolie turned her back on us. Even when the baby started screaming, she wouldn’t respond to him. Eventually, Doc came b
