Sorry about the delay. I have been very unwell and unable to write. I will try and get my updates a little more regular.
(Theia’s POV)I screamed again. I screamed as the edges of the world grew dark and started to disappear and fade away until all I could feel was the big gaping hole where my heart used to be.I shot awake and looked around, confused. I tried to jump up but my hands and feet were chained, and I was on the dark, dirty floor of the cell again. I looked up to see Hanison standing in the doorway. His features were highlighted by the light behind him. Tears streamed down my face as I strained at the chains.“LET ME GO!” I screamed at him as I tried to stand, but my legs were shaking so badly, and I felt like I hadn’t eaten in forever. No matter how much I screamed and cried, he just stood there, unmoving. I finally collapsed to the ground again in an exhausted heap and sobbed.“Let me go, please,” I whispered, more to myself. I didn’t know if I was asking him to let me go or for life to end my misery. Dominic was dead. I saw him die right before my eyes. I felt the bond that I didn’t even k
I am still dealing with this nasty virus that is doing the rounds in my house, in addition to the other illnesses that I deal with on a daily basis, I am finding writing difficult. So I have decided that I am going to get the rest of the book written and upload in one go. I have done this for several of my books and I find it easier to write like this. I have set the dealine for the rest of the book to be complete and out to you all at June 6th 2022, if not before. I am sorry for the slow updates on the book and realise that my personal circumstances don't seem to do well with the serialised expectations at this time. I hope that it will be something that I can account for before I release the next book.Thank you for your understanding
(Theia’s POV)The next couple of days went by without incident. I was mostly left on my own in my upgraded cell. One of the women that I saw in my vision came in once to collect my ruined clothes and then the only other person I saw was the big silent guard, and only when he was bringing food.It left me a lot of thinking time, and I tried to go over everything that happened in my vision. I remembered the auction and some of the people crowding around me. I remembered the comments about my sexual activity from that one creep, and a cold, heavy feeling settled in my stomach when I thought of it. I wasn’t stupid enough to not realise that whoever intended to buy me might not be doing it only for my visions. I felt sick at the thought of it.I tried to focus my thoughts on what I did know. The person who had put down the one billion pound bid was connected with that James person. And he was connected to the Conclave. Did this mean that the Conclave was in on all this? Did they want my vi
(Theia’s POV)I saw Hanison struggle against his men, but in all the noise and confusion, it looked like their need to protect him overrode their perspective skills. This worked out in my favour. I looked back at the back of the room and searched the crown for barely ten seconds when my eyes fell upon the most beautiful sight in the world. He had already found me and I felt tears prick my eyes as they met his. I looked to the side of him and he tilted his head before looking in that direction, just in time to see the man running at him. He dodged out of the way but disappeared into the crown as he began to fight through everyone.“Miss Adams, please,“ I heard the familiar voice again and turned to see James mayhem standing by the door, just as in my vision. It was now or never. I knew this was my chance to really change things. I grabbed the bars and tried to look all sorrowful at James.“Please,” I pleaded in my best whiney voice, “Help me.” His face lit up, and he started fumbling
(Dominic’s POV)I pace the hallway of the pack hospital while I wait for Doctor Greta to finish the examination on Theia. I would have been in the room with her, but every time someone went near Theia, then Titan would start going crazy in my head and I began growling at them. He saw everyone as a threat. The doc said it was probably a side effect of getting my mate back after she had been taken from me. But it made caring for Theia almost impossible and in the end, my father ordered me out of the room. It took Alex and two other pack warriors to practically drag me out of the room. Both of the warriors were now standing at the door to the room looking uneasy as I paced past them, and threw the occasional growl their way.Alex, on the other hand, was sitting in one of the seats watching me with what looked like amusement on his face. He had really come through these last few days. I found out a lot about him. It turned out that he had always had suspicions about Liam’s betrayal, and h
*** Trigger Warning *** Topics of pregnancy loss are discussed in this chapter.(Theia’s POV)I watched Dominic’s face fall as the words left my mouth.“What do you mean, you’re pregnant?” he asked. He glanced down at my stomach and then back up at me. Part of me wanted to make light of it, and suggested he needed to talk about the birds and the bees to his parents, but instead I just stared at him. I shook my head and shrugged.“Liam knew and was hiding it from you,” I said. “He and Hanison thought that if you knew that I was carrying your heir that you would fight harder to protect me or something.” Dominic’s eyes widened.“Wait, Hanison?” he asked, and I nodded.“Yeah,” I said, “He’s the guy they call The Salesman.” I saw Dominic’s fast twist as he turned and stormed towards the other side of the room. He roared and punched the wall, making both me and the doctor jump. I glanced up at her and offered a weak smile before turning back to Dominic.“You can pack that in right now,” I
(Theia’s POV)I looked up at Doctor Greta, who was grinning.“It is, right?” I asked, and she nodded.“Why are you asking her,” my wolf scoffed, “I’m right here” I could almost feel her rolling her eyes. Could wolves roll their eyes? Well, I guess they couldn’t speak normally, so anything was possible.“Yes, I can definitely see the spikes on the charts,” the doctor said, and she showed me the screen, which showed where the line showing my brain activity shot up and back down again. “Say something,” I said.“I’m not a performing monkey, you know,” my wolf responded and the line on the screen shot up. I couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh my god, this is so strange,” I said.“Erm,” Dominic’s dad, Jonas, drew my attention to him, “What’s going on?” He and his wife were looking at me with weird looks on their faces. Leah, on the other hand, was grinning. “It appears that Theia’s wolf has made an appearance,” the doctor said, and I grinned. “No, it’s not possible,” Jonas said, “She is only a
(Theia’s POV)*** Four Months Later ***I laid in my bed, half dozing and half listening to Dominic, Leah and Alex talking. Being seven months pregnant was really taking its toll on my energy. Well, that and all the various different herbs and whatnots that I was on to help Sky suppress the urge to complete the transition. Doctor Greta, who had now become a permanent guest at the Sunset Rose pack, said that she was very impressed with my wolf being able to hold off for such a long time. Isabella hadn’t been able to visit, due to some issues going on for her, but she had a video conference with Greta about what she had given me and with more ideas for helping us. She did promise to visit soon, but cryptically said that it wasn’t time yet. Greta still hadn’t managed to get a hold of my old doctor. I even tried, and he seemed to have disappeared. Greta decided that she didn’t like the effects the medication could have on the baby, so we decided to work on more natural and magical routes
