...Darius POV...One minute everything was good, the next moment, I see a look on her face. Her face morphed from a look of peace and longing to a look of fear and sadness. Before I could do anything, she ran away from me. I was too surprised to react at first, but when I finally realized what was happening, I chased after her."Wynter!" I yelled, chasing after her. I didn't realize she was so fast. I had to use all of my power to catch up to her. I tapped into my wolf, something I had never tried before. I could feel Asher blend with me. We were no longer two separate entities, rather one being. 'Asher, how are you doing this?' I ask my wolf.'I don't know. It's instinctual.' He replies."Wynter! Please stop!" I call out to her.I can feel my instincts wanting to change into my wolf form. I push my instincts to the side in fear of scaring her. Instead, using everything in me to catch up to her. We continue to dodge around trees and ducking under low branches. Suddenly realization d
Wynter simply nods her head, this time not filtering any of her memories. I watch horrified as I see my father threaten Wynter beyond recognition. I fall to my knees seeing everything she's gone through. The pain, the loss, the heartbreak. I can feel it all. I don't think she meant to, but I saw what happened to her when I first found out that Catherine was my mate. The pain and anguish I put her through. All the times Catherine and I were intimate with each other, caused her unbelievable pain. I can't believe I did this to my own mate. I feel completely shattered. Suddenly the images stop, and when they do, I notice that Wynter is nowhere to be found.I stand up, needing to find her. I sniff the air, tracking her scent. I don't think she's gone far, her scent is still fresh. I begin to wander through the woods making my way to her. After passing a clearing, I notice her sitting by the lake. She's sitting along the waterside, curled up into a ball.I slowly make my way to her. She
...Wynter POV...I pulled away from him, breaking off our kiss. As much as I wish we could take this further, I knew we shouldn't. We still had so much to talk about. A thought suddenly comes to mind, as I feel my stomach begin to rumble.Without hesitating, I quickly grab his hand, and pull him behind me. I run towards my bike, and to my delight, Darius doesn't seem to hesitate. He jumps on the bike behind me, carefully placing the helmet on my head. I look up into his azure eyes to see him look at me full of love and contentment. I can't help but smile at him, as he fastens the clasp from my helmet.It's such a small gesture, but I find it absolutely endearing. I find myself staring into his eyes, neither of us moving."See something you like?" Darius asks, waking me up from my trance like state, causing me to smile."No." I say, catching him off guard."What?" He begins, however I cut him off.I place a quick kiss on his lips."I see something I love." I watch as his confused face
...Darius POV...I continue to watch her expressions as she remains silent after my request. I was nervous to ask her. But I can tell she's not upset. I don't see any signs of unease, rather just a look of confusion that morphed into a look of surprise. "Please?" I beg. So far I've seen how remarkable her human side is, which makes me even more curious about her wolf. Since I was always seeing her memories, I never got to see what her wolf form looked like. I was genuinely curious. If her wolf was even a percentage of how beautiful she was, then I knew she would be incredible.I watch as she lets go of my hand as she nods her head. She stands up, then walks to a large tree nearby. A moment later a majestic black wolf saunters out from behind the tree. I couldn't believe it. She was absolutely gorgeous. I had never seen a wolf as black as hers was. If it wasn't for her eyes, she would be virtually impossible to see. If her wolf form wasn't beautiful enough, what stood out to me the m
After the events from yesterday, I now had a plan for what our future held. I knew without a doubt that I wouldn't be heading back to Blood Moon pack alone. This time Wynter would be at my side, where she belonged. She was the true Luna of Blood Moon pack. It was time for her to take her position.The thought of Wynter ruling alongside me, only made me even happier. Flashes of what our future held began to plague my mind. I was so lost in all the wonderful possibilities that I hadn't even noticed that Wynter had woken up.Her wolf began to lick my face, making Asher whimper. He loved the affection she was giving us. Asher immediately began to lick her back. He gentle nibbled on our marking spot, which made her purr. I could tell she enjoyed it, which made me want to do it all the more. I loved how she reacted to me. I knew she would only ever react like that to me, which made both Asher and I sigh in sheer bliss. 'We should get changed.' Wynter said in my mind a few moments later.I
...Wynter POV...Darius and I left the woods a few moments later. We went straight back to my house, and quickly packed everything I wanted. Living a rogue life, meant I didn't have much to take. Even though I hadn't lived a traditional rogue life for quite some time, I still maintained a similar lifestyle. I wasn't one to gather things I would never really use. I only kept things that were truly valuable to me. Not necessarily monetary wise, but things that had sentimental value. After I had packed, Darius had a car waiting for us, that took us to the airport. We boarded his plane, heading directly back to the Blood Moon Pack.I was on edge the entire time. I really did mean what I said earlier. I don't plan on leaving Darius ever again. With him no longer able to be compelled, it would be impossible to do so. Even when he had no idea who I was, he always managed to find his way back to me. So it would be impossible to hide from him. Plus what would be the point? The only reason I h
"What do you mean? He's the Alpha! How can he just go missing? Surely someone knows where he is.""Unfortunately, no. The only thing we know is that he isn't on pack grounds. We had one of our trackers search for him, but unfortunately, the trail ran cold. We even tracked his phone. However, we're unable to locate him. His phone must be off." Kenji manages to spit out.I look over to Wynter, sleeping peacefully. Blissfully unaware that something's wrong. I gently pull her close to me as I begin to hear her words run through my mind.'I have a bad feeling something's going to go wrong.' I hear her say over and over again in my mind.Is it possible she was right all along? Perhaps there's more to her powers than we understand. Is there a chance that she somehow got a premonition or something?I close my eyes, worried that our story may come to an end far faster than I could've predicted. Perhaps I shouldn't have taken her concerns so lightly. What if I had just run away with her as she
...Kenji POV...After Darius disconnected the call, I immediately began to make calls to everyone I thought could help.'Hunter!' I mind linked.'Dude? What the hell! You don't need to yell.' Hunter replied grumpily.'It's Darius; his plane lost an engine. So they're making an emergency landing.'"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?' He replies, making me roll my eyes.As tempting as it is to put him in his place, I decided to ignore his jab. Rather I push on.'I need you to locate him right away. We need to send out a team to get them.' I say.'Do you know where they are?''NO! That's why I said I need you to locate them! Come on! We don't have time for this!' I reply irritably.'Right, sorry. I'll get on it right away. I'll let you know once I've found his location.' I sigh a breath of relief as I disconnect our Mindlink. Not only is Hunter my second in command, but he's also a skilled hacker. I know it won't take long for him to figure out where Darius is. In the meantime, I depl
