TJ’s POV
I was so annoyed with them, why didn’t they believe me? Especially Erik considering the fact that we are apparently married. I was definitely remembering something, he even confirmed he thought that i had been shackled.
I was shocked when I turned around a few metres outside the door and he wasn’t following me for once. As much as I hated him for doing that, it was frustrating that of all days he chose now not to follow me.
Pausing for a moment, I took a few deep breaths, the air in my lungs felt amazing like i was finally fully healed. After walking for a while my legs were beginning to ache, so I found a bench to sit on and closed my eyes, I just needed some time to think when I felt someone sit down next to me. Opening one eye I saw that it was Hayley.
“What the fuck do you want?” I scowled and went to get up
“Please, just give me a minute to explain” she watches we while playing with something
Noah’s POV I left the house quickly she has actually forgotten and does not know who I am. I genuinely thought she was lying and on that first day when Erik introduced me, the look she gave me suggested she remembered everything about our history. Sapphire is going to kill me, or maybe Erik first if TJ tells him. Fuck what am I going to do, I head back to the house we are staying in on Crimson Moon’s land. Sapphire had not been back yet from shopping. Think Noah, think, I was going to need to come clean, TJ may not like it and it might destroy the friendship between Erik and I. I grabbed my phone, dialling in Erik’s number, after several rings I was about to hang up when his voice rattled through the phone “What can I do for you?” TJ clearly had not told him yet, perfect I will get my side of the story in first “Any chance you can come over, we need to talk?” The line went silent for moment “Sure, give me 15” before putting the phone down “Hav
TJ’s POVLocking my bedroom door again, I placed all the food on the table with the mirror and started biting into an apple, “Fucking wolves” I cursed out loud. The blackness of his eyes looked just like Erik’s when Erik was angry.I set the apple down and stripped off my leggings, checking the marks out in the mirror. Luckily, they had already faded to light pink marks. Erik had explained that we can heal faster and i was grateful as I wasn’t sure how I was going to explain the marks to him. Pulling on a pair of black joggers I grabbed my apple feeling the joy as food finally hit my stomach and trying to savour each bite.Erik’s voice filtered into my head, “Meeting at the training courts 1pm tomorrow, full attendance”. I rolled my eyes it was like he knew what time I had agreed to meet Hayley and purposely planned this meeting. I really had to work out how to do that mind link thingy Erik had told me about.
Noah’s POV I left the pack house my wolf and I feeling totally rejected by TJ once again. Would she ever love me? Sitting on the steps of the house Alpha Erik had allowed us to stay in, I looked up too the sky, the moon was up high now, stars littered the sky. I heard the door creak open behind me, Sapphire sat down on the steps next to me, resting her head on my shoulder and sighed “I guess it didn’t work then!” I shook my head “Something isn’t right though” I bit the inside of my cheek, drawing a small amount of blood “I can smell her, but she can’t smell me just him” She shakes her head “I warned you it would be a long shot, at least Will’s out the picture” the humour clear in her voice “What did you do?” I ask, sometimes Sapphire’s ideas were a little scary “I pretended to be his mother, telling him I was dying and that I didn’t have long left” “How long do we have until he realises?” I ask, I had no idea where Will’s paren
Erik’s POVMarking my mate for a second time was not easy, she did not want me to do it which made it worse, my wolf was restless he had had enough of TJ rejecting us and he was livid when he found out that Noah could scent our mate that I could not fight him anymore. I let my wolf take over pinning TJ down and sinking our canines into the mark that already sat on her collarbone. She relaxed instantly, the pleasure taking over her body and my wolf retreated knowing we had finally won.She was in a state of ecstasy as I removed her clothing that she did not even try to fight me, tiredness soon replaced her excitement, and she couldn’t keep her eyes open any longer. Rolling off her, I pulled the blankets up high around her. It was one thing about her that hadn’t changed, she still loved her blankets. Pulling TJ in to me, I waited for her body to relax and the quiet snoring to take over which told me she was deeply asleep and climbed back out of bed.
TJ’s POVIt was a long night, when I woke in bed all the images of the night came flooding back to me. A smile crept across my face and I’m pretty sure I was blushing too, Erik had me in all sorts of positions and I could certainly feel it this morning a slightly painful throbbing between my legs. I was worried at first that I wouldn’t remember how to have sex, but it all came naturally and I could tell Erik had been missing it.I gave myself to him last night, not just my body but I agreed to be his, I didn’t know what it meant, but right now I didn’t care either. I stretched out on the bed and my hand hit a bit of paper as I rubbed my eyes the words started to come into focus‘TJ, my love. Something came up in the pack, I will be back shortly but please do not leave the house, feel free to have a look around and see if anything jogs your memory. I will be back as soon as I can. Erik’I frowned, will he ever let
Beta Will’s POVHow could I fall for that?! Wolves from other packs had tried to manipulate me many times since I had become Beta and I saw right through them, each and every time. This time was different, the voice had sounded just like my mothers.I had taken off without hesitating, I knew Alpha Erik would punish me when I got back, I didn’t care about the punishment whatever it may be, I couldn’t let my mum die on her own. She had moved away after my father had passed as everything around our pack just reminded her of him. I never expected her to move four hundred miles away and even now she still insists it’s not far enough.I even abandonned my pregnant mate Lacey without saying anything, she must be going mad and probably thinks that I have abandonned her.I arrive at my mother's house and find her in the garden, relaxing on a sun chair making the most of the glorious weather "Mum, are you okay. I came as soon as I could"
TJ’s POVI can’t believe what I am seeing, he literally ripped Noah’s heart out and didn’t even seem bothered by how easily he killed the man. I just, I just cannot deal this right now!Erik held his hand out to me but I just couldn’t bring myself to take it, spots formed in front of my eyes and i could feel my heart beating through my chest. I felt him crouch down in front of me, his large hand cupped my face trying to turn my head so that I was facing him. The smell of the crimson blood that was coating his arm and the pool that was surrounding Noah was overwhelming and I found myself smacking his hand away.I had let this cruel man mark me, something I still don’t fully understand except that it meant that I belong to him and now I have this bright red symbol on my collarbone.I stood up, taking one final look at Erik and Will and walked away, away from Erik, away from the people carrying Noah’s body and away f
Alpha Erik’s POVThrough the mate bond I could feel her sadness, disgust and resentment rolling off her and I am sure everyone else could feel it too. Hitting my hand away was something I didn’t expect, even when hesitant before, TJ would always accept my offering.I went to follow her, fearing she would run again, Will’s arm stops me, his voice calm when he tells me that TJ needs some space. His wife Lacey reminds me that what TJ had just witnessed was like her seeing it for the first time because of the amnesia.I sigh, dragging my hands through my hair “I’ve fucked up, haven’t I?!” it was a rhetorical question but none the less, Lacey kept talking quietly. I acknowledged what she was saying but it didn’t stop the image of TJ’s face flashing before my eyes, the face of pure disgust. My wolf was horrified by how upset she was. I buried the pain we were feeling and marched towards the training grounds. I had
TJ’s POVDressed in the cloak Atlas had wrapped me in yesterday, and black clothes with boots, I pull the hood up over my head, hiding my red hair. “Ready?”I look at everyone stood before me and they all nod their head“We are with you all the way my love” Atlas kisses me on the cheek and sends another flurry of butterflies to my stomach and as much as I loved it, I couldn’t ignore the feelings that still lingered for Erik.I nod and disappear, reappearing just inside of the forest line at the edge of Crimson Moons grounds. Moving silently and swiftly across the grass came naturally and I could feel my wolf howling in delight at me finally being reconnected with my lost self.The further I moved into Crimson Moons territory, more of my people appeared, flanking me in a solid V, it was a protection stance.Erik’s pack were all out on the grounds, with Beta Will and Alpha Chris standing on the balcony
TJ’s POVWe grabbed her, Atlas thought we could combine our powers to move her, it was going to be a long shot but I did what he said, as soon as my hands were on her a strange sensation waved through me, as I looked across the ground I could see Erik laying on the floor, he was still and unmoving, the red pool growing around him.His eyes found my own and in that moment, I knew he was alive.Atlas had his hand on me as well as my mother, she was fighting against us mentally. She was using her power against us as much as were against her, it felt like we were evenly matched. Several times we appeared in different places, thankfully not once did we end up in the Blood packs pack house.It felt like we were losing our grip on her, she was strong and it seemed as if we were never going to get her in the cell.Other members of the Blood pack were waiting by the cell, we needed enough of us to force her inside so we could shut the door, trapping h
Will’s POVI could not believe we had believed in such a vile person for so long, the creator of wolves was a monster. Chris and I had heard every word she had said to Alpha Erik, she had called him a half breed. How was that even possible, I had known his parents.Chris and I stand over Alpha Erik’s body in the pack house, his body was now cold and he looked like he was sleeping. Chris had insisted he be dressed in the outfit Alpha TJ would like, blue jeans and a blue shirt to bring to remind everyone of his eyes.The wound on his body had been stitched up by the nurses, that witch had really done a number on him, it was no wonder he had not survived, no one would have.Alpha TJ had not been since yesterday, when they left with Selene and I wondered if she knew that Alpha Erik had not survived.“Have you heard from her?” Chris keeps his eyes on his brother but clearly knows what I am thinking about“No, I have
Alpha Erik’s POVI knew what I was risking and even now with TJ being an Alpha of another pack, I would give my life for her.Will and Chris followed me, walking each side of me, both of them thought I was stupid for doing this and had no problems telling me as much.“You cannot do this boss, it is a suicide mission” Will’s voice was higher than normal“Will, I promise that I will be fine, besides you are quite capable of running this pack” He looks at me as if I have lost my mind, “Will, it will be okay, I will be fine, I promise”“He is right bro, you are fucking mental. I like a good fight, but to go up against the Moon Goddess, that is a death wish”I find it funny how they both assume that I am on the way to death, yet they were still walking next to me. “Let’s hope the Blood pack will take her out in time if you think my death is imminent”Honestly, I
TJ’s POVAlice gripped onto me with her small hands but as I was thinking of the dungeon that had been built something strange happened.Her fingers felt as if they were growing, along with the small frame that was pressed against me, letting go, we are stood in the middle of the forest, surrounded by creatures hurrying about their daily work.In front of me stood my mother, her red hair fanning out down her back, her piercing green eyes on my own, the air caught in my lungs and I gasp at the woman standing in front of me. A part of me had really hoped that the rumour about her wasn’t true, but here she was standing in front of me in place of Alice.I watch as my mother walks around me, her bare feet crunching on the fallen leaves “So this is Blood pack?” she stops in front of me, looking at me curiously, but honestly I have no idea where I had brought her, I did not recognise any of the scents surrounding us.When I don&rsq
TJ’s POV“I am never going to get this” and groan at Lowe and AtlasAtlas smiles at me “You will, you just need to concentrate better. Now try again”They had given me an apple to practise with, because starting small was the way to move forward apparently, but no matter how much I tried, the apple would end up in a different place either in the room or no where to be seen, one apple had even split in two.Lowe had joked that it wouldn't matter if I managed to pull that off with AliceBoth men had tried explaining to me that I needed to focus more on the apple then where I wanted to go, but it was increasingly hard when all I could think of is Atlas’s intoxicating pine smell. After a while Atlas announced he had some errands to run and left me with Lowe. My wolf was desperate to go with him but I had to get this thing right.After a few more attempts I managed to bring the apple with me and I cheered
Alpha Erik’s POV“Where the fuck have you been TJ?” I grab her roughly, I couldn’t help it but my wolf no longer viewed her as a member of our pack. Lowe growls at me and I let her go.“If you must know, Will showed me the prison he has built for witches, the place we are going to put Alice” and she pushes pass me, sitting on a chair“You did what?” I turn on my Beta who submits without hesitation.“Alpha TJ, requested to see it” his voice is high pitched under submission“Where is it?” I was pissed that something else had been kept a secret from me“Right where Sapphire was keeping me prisoner” TJ is snarling at me, the girl I once loved was showing her cruel side more and more, maybe she really did belong with the Blood pack.I sigh, we really were not getting anywhere if we continued to hide information from each other. Will reminds me he had this c
TJ’s POVI pulled on the clothes Erik gave me as quick as I could, what was I doing trying to throw myself at Erik, it was a stupid move.My final comment before he left the room had hit him hard, much harder than it had hit me and I wanted to cry. I call to Atlas and he appears instantly in front of me, without missing a beat I threw myself into his arms, sucking in his beautiful scent and it made me realise that Erik’s scent was gone, I could only smell his wolf stink on everything in the room and not his lusty scent.Atlas pushes me back to look at me and cups my face, thumbing away the tear that rolled out of my eye.“It’s just for a few days” He thought I was upset about being here but it was more of a case that I was upset because I felt like I had screwed up. I nod, silently wishing everything could go back in time, to the time that I could not remember.“I will try”“Just remember we ar
Alpha Erik’s POVWe never left the spot in the forest that they had transported us to, we decided it would be better to stay put rather than head home and be caught by Alice/Selene again.“Good you are already here” Lowe is the first to speak but I cannot take my eyes off of TJ and the way she was staring at the other guy, what was his name, Atlas. It was the same look she used to give me, I had only seen it once since she had woken up in the hospital and now she was giving that look to another man.I understood now why he came to me the other night, he felt her connection and was asking my permission to either make a move or find out where I stood.“We never left” my words cause TJ to snap her head back at me“It was probably for the best if you think the witch is on to you” Atlas spoke, his voice clear and strong, I had learnt that he had been in charge of Blood pack when TJ’s father disappeared and
