Alpha Erik’s POV
I was furious, it better not be true. Just before the witch passed out she told me that my mate and Noah were having an affair. I heard Will behind me, as I turned he was stood with TJ, who was running her hand through his fur, you could see she was exhausted with massive dark circles around her eyes like she had not slept for a week, she was also filthy, bare foot, that red hair stuck up everywhere, dirt covered her face and was that blood on her hands?. I was unable to scent her as my mate, wait it was more than that. I no longer felt anything for her, our mate bond was completely gone and not just broken.
She stared at me, her green eyes holding back tears as Will sauntered away with his head hanging. TJ took a step towards me, closing the gap between us and wrapped her arms around me, burying her face into my chest.
Her affection caught me off guard, but I could not return the favour instead I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back
Will’s POVIt had fallen silent in the car, all you could hear was the witch's heavy breathing from the back of the car. Luna TJ’s news had shocked both Alpha Erik and I, what did the Moon Goddess mean by her destiny?. I didn’t have the heart to tell Erik, that it could not have meant their mate bond because technically, they had already completed the bonding, even if Luna TJ was missing the mark Alpha Erik had given her.I glanced in the rear-view mirror, Alpha Erik was deep in thought and Luna TJ was absentmindedly looking out the window, appearing to be avoiding the conversation.The Witch in the back groaned in pain, clearly coming around to her senses. Alpha Erik had strapped her wound up to stop her completely bleeding out, as much as I hated what she was doing to our pack and wanted her dead, Alpha and Luna’s mate bond needed fixing.I decided to mind link Luna TJ and leave Alpha Erik deep in his thoughts “Luna TJ?&rdq
TJ’s POV The whole time I was looking out the window, my wolf was begging me to let her take over and have some fun. I tried not to give myself away to Erik and Will and practised keeping my mind in check. My wolf taunted me, calling me weak and a baby and telling me I was not worthy of her if I couldn’t handle a bit of blood. The blood on my hands from the prison guard was dry but the stench of it was strong and swirled around in my head, I just wanted to wash it away and sleep, I am so tired. Just let me have some fun, you can sleep How can you have fun when I sleep?. I wasn’t sure I wanted to know the answer Easy, we have done it before weakling I am not weak Of course you are, you cant even remember anything, what kind of wolf forgets everything they know It’s called Amnesia. I could feel my wolf rolling her eyes. It was only when Will asked how I escaped that my wolf managed to take over,
Alpha Erik’s POVFirst of all, she tries to reject me when we are already married and are currently trying to fix a broken mate bond and now she is telling me she has to die in order for our kind to survive! What is going on in her head?!Will and I listened carefully as she explained about a prophecy she had been told, she pulled a tatty bit of folded paper from her pocket and quietly handed it to me. I read the words over and over trying to get them to sink in before handing it over to Will. When Will read the information he snorted out loud.“So we are meant to believe this?” amusement filled his voiceTJ nodded “Apparently so”“Where did you get this?” I was not happy about what was written and it saddened me to think that she had been hiding information like this from me. I am supposed to protect my Luna not let her die, she is my mate the one the Moon Goddess had selected for me, she had even blessed
Hayley’s POV I had been out searching with my Fae family, as soon as I could. I had followed Luna TJ out of my house and watched as Sapphire had appeared and disappeared in seconds taking our Luna with her, I watched as Erik crumbled to the ground, the mate bond tearing him apart. Will walked Erik back to the house and I raced off as quick as I could deep into the forest to my Fae family, maybe she was being taken back to the same place as before but this time would be a lot more dangerous as that Sapphire would probably never let TJ out of her sight. I crossed the invisible line into Fae, we were hidden from the other supes in our own world a world that existed on a different plane, sandwiched into this world, not even the witches could find us. There were thousands of us, living in this world, some of the half breeds like myself chose to live in the other world rather than here and anyone with Fae blood could find where to cross into Faery as we had
TJ’s POV The mate bond had finally been repaired, if I had known it had been as simple as killing Sapphire, I wouldn’t have stopped Erik from killing her. I let him pull me onto his lap in the car and buried myself into his chest inhaling his scent whilst his fingers ran through my hair. A part of me was still afraid of him, I questionned how easily he had killed Noah but at the same time I had learnt how vicious my own wolf was and could be. Images of the guard’s smashed in face sat in my mind as well as how easily I had attacked Erik in the car. It was like I was a completely different person to my wolf, how was I supposed to accept that and live with them. At some point I fell asleep in the comfort of Erik's arms, letting the darkness take me to a place where I met my wolf face to face, my wolf was large and her fur was a deep chestnut red, she had the same jade green eyes as me. My wolf was pacing up and down the darkness until she spotted m
Alpha Erik’s POVThe breaking of the witch’s spell had renewed out mate bond and my wolf wanted to mate with his mate, I could not hold him back any longer, plus he was mad at me still for having that one night with Hayley when TJ was missing, even though I still do not understand how it happened.The mating with TJ last night lasted for hours, ensuring the mate bond was renewed and my wolf was ecstatic however the words of the witch still lingered in my head, TJ had had an affair with Noah. How was I supposed to find out if this was true, TJ could barely remember anything, she even told me last night how she felt lost. I had no idea what to say but somehow convinced her she would find her way back.She was fast asleep in my arms and I carefully slipped out, I needed to speak to Hayley. It was still early and when I knocked on Hayley’s door there was no answer. The door was unlocked, I could smell that TJ had been here which once again made me
Hayley’s POV “You tricked him” Aslo was not happy and pursed his lips “Why? You know they are destined to be together” “I don’t know okay, I got carried away and next thing I know, we were in bed together” I could not believe I was telling my great grandfather this, Aslo was not happy, he had drummed it into me over the years, there was a reason that TJ had been created for Alpha Erik and they were destined to be together. When the time came he would be the only one able to protect TJ from what was coming. He warned me so many times that I was making a mistake. Aslo sent me home, he did not want to speak to me anymore. I was heart broken he was the only true Fae family I had left. In the Kingdom of Fae word had spread that TJ had been found and we were no longer crossing to the other side to look for her, it was true, my great grandfather really had eyes and ears everywhere. As I crossed over through the invisible line from the Kingdom
TJ’s POV As I sat there hugging my knees to my chest, My wolf and I were fully aware something wasn’t right, Erik and Hayley kept exchanging little looks here and there, obviously unaware that I could see or rather my wolf could see when I was trying to listen. They keep looking at each other, ask them what is going on Nothing is going on, I try to hush my wolf but she was fighting me for control Think TJ, take account of what is going on, how are you missing it. I continued to listen as Hayley told Erik how they found me and then I saw it, the loving glance from Hayley towards Erik, the same look of love that I felt when I had first had sex with him. I finally asked, making my wolf extremely happy that I was listening to her “What are you hiding?” I directed the question at Hayley remembering how she told me Fae cannot lie. Erik tried distracting me when I saw her glance at him again, I asked again, threateni
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
